rewatching Thou Must Live Die and Know aka the best cutscene of all time for an art thing, I'm reminded that my favorite part of Endwalker wasn't any of the epic setpeice moments or heartrending drama, it's this one pause.

It's this scene where Venat is arguing with a group of Zodiark worshippers about to make a large sacrifice to bring back things as they were, Venat is arguing against them by saying that we have to accept sorrow as a constant companion rather than causing more sorrow by repeating the cycle of sacrifice. They don't listen, and continue insisting that the world before the Final Days was a perfect paradise. Venat listens to them silently for a moment, then draws her sword and preforms the Sundering.

But, that little pause, why she hesitates when they insist things were perfect - it's because she knows they weren't. At this point she's the only one who remembers Hermes's despair, knows that it's the cause of all this, knows that it was caused by his existential crisis over the abuse of creation magic. She knows the flaws in the Ancient world too, because she's seen people's confusion at her choice not to return to the star, as well as presumably seen other problems in her work helping others as Azem. There's a terrible tragic irony too in the fact that she was an outlier in the Ancient world for choosing to continue to live past the end of her duty but by becoming Hydaelyn she's bound to her duty for even longer.

I started a new remote job last week, and I'm the only genderqueer person at the company (and the first person who uses neo pronouns that anyone on my team has ever met, apparently).

So far:

Manager carefully wrote down spelling and pronunciation of my pronouns and told everyone on the team to respect them.

Coworker apologized privately for misgendering me (I hadn't told her yet) and said she will practice.

Guy on another team valiantly tried to use my pronouns and ended up saying something like zirzs-zhizz (I DM'd him and thanked him for trying and linked him to a practice site).

Teammate told me he has written out my pronouns and how to use them in a sentence and literally taped it to his monitor so he can practice.

Teammate also referred to me as compañere after I linked to a comic about gender-neutral endings in Spanish (whole team except me + 1 other person speaks Spanish as first language and they held all meetings in Spanish before the two of us started).

I am so stoked that people are actually trying. 💜🤍💚

It has not been a good week but I decided to put Ariane's Ishgard apartment back together for self-indulgent seasonal gposing reasons and let me tell you, friends, the level of joy this cozy little virtual space sparks for me is off the charts.

At some point in the future I want to redesign the Fortemps suite around the amazing new four-poster bed they just added--it's PERFECT and much closer to what I had in mind than what I was able to build previously, but it's also massive and didn't fit into the previous design, and while I'd definitely like to bring it back one day to do some more Arichefant shots, right now I'm more of a mind to do some cozy post-ShB Arianger especially with Starlight around the corner and that fic I want to finish.

So the apartment returns, and I'm so happy to see it again.

i have understood so many things about online leftist culture by the fact that when i said "your local community has people you will morally and politically disagree with but you cannot lock them out of accessing any tangible service you’re organising" one of the tags responding said "this isn’t about proshippers in here you’re not welcome" like. folks. focus with me. some of us are homeless here.
