Hello everyone, it's been quite a while since we last connected. I'd like to express my sincere gratitude for all the love and support you've shown for my book. When I first started writing it, I never imagined that people would still be reading and enjoying it today, despite its initial flaws. It's truly heartwarming.
Life has a way of getting in the middle of our plans, and I ended up taking a long break from writing. However, I want you all to know that I am now back and fully committed to this project. I understand that in the past, I've made promises to return and failed to follow through. But this time, I genuinely mean it.
My writing has improved more than this and I want to be a director so the best way to improve my craft is to write every day. With that being said, my fanfic roster so bad is this
parent scenarios update
Todoroki or Iida story - Vote here
Bakugo Prnstar update
Hawks story update
Maybe an Aizawa story
Gojo or nanami
Zoro story
Tumblr random fanfictions
Miguel O'hara fanfic
Comment on which ones you'd like to see and any other ideas! Thank you so much for supporting me- and one more thing.

What I’m Playing…
I recently started “Turnip Boy Commits Tax Evasion” and “Cat Quest.” “Turnip Boy” was just a cute puzzle game until it went dark. 🫣 “Cat Quest” is an adorable RPG. They’re both short games and I should be finished with both soon and then I can lose myself in FFXVI! 😂

BACK ON THE MOVEEE YALL. Mercury RX did its thing, but more importantly PLUTO is DOING its thing honey! chile!!! omg. Queen Tina made her transition on my RL bday, that day the Moon was in cancer and boy the tears did floowww. But I was able to transmute and reopen Starseeds Kiosk at TheBlvd and a whole new line of spell candles! Go check em out and shop! I also updated all the prices, I want StarseedsBotanica to be accessible and affordable like RL botanicas, lots of fun treats to enjoy and set with intention and affirmations that pop up when you interact! MP: https://marketplace.secondlife.com/stores/138024

We OUTSIDE! I was invited to my girl Shayla’s new sim. I used to live on Fakrava island w Wav for so long, its cool to see what new things she got going on. I always got to brace myself for the fkery on her side of the dancery that is the SL Grid because wow. LMAO. This pic is my exact reaction to this message. Exhibit A below
*Shayla has always been dope ally shes fired people who were wylin’ towards me before but thats a story for another time! lol I don’t consider this message discrimination , its def something, its just funny af.
Sooo since my rl bday was kinda low vibes for me, my SL parents spent some time with me and my Dad Ras pulled out his boat for a special excursion! I LOVE exploring SL. Ill go anywhere and have so much fun discovering what people make it brings me so much joy. We got to sail seas that i’ve never seen to a secret beach I never been to before! I was gifted a legit wind surfer and went crazy on the waves while we anchored in this beautiful cove. Pops played some dramatic music the whole time it was pretty epic. I definitely count this day as one of my top best days on SL ever hands down. & I have been here 12 yrs now! Wowza
We also had a dope meeting at Meroe with the team right after. It was cool just to have this fulfilling day and get grounded with my SL life. Everything feels like its back in motion and flowing and all the things I desire, are coming towards me because I finally feel my frequency shifted, with all the inner work I been doing. Its finally payin off! Alhamdoulilah!
I gotta add in, this last minute trip we did to Taj Mahal. It was stunning they def need to make a more permanent version of it! Absolutely impressed by the realism of it I even felt the need to cover up when approaching because it felt too real , there were actual prayers in the walls like im assuming the real place has. So incredible! I am grateful for my SL family, and our lil trips haha.
creepy ass grin lololol, visiting here with them reminded me of my RL growing up I loved visiting historic sites, and immersing myself in the reenactments and imagining what it felt like and who walked and lived in those spaces.
Its actually a form of psychic gift to be able to transport yourself in that way. Or call forth those visions that remain from the energetic imprints on the space. I digres... lol

[Week 9]
🎮 Game Over for Gatekeeping? How Diversity is Reshaping Gaming
From Ethics to Exclusion: How Gamergate Redefined Online Harassment
Gamergate, disguised as a push for "ethics in gaming journalism," was a targeted harassment campaign designed to exclude women and marginalized voices from gaming (Stuart, 2014).
youtube
It stemmed from anxieties over shifting power dynamics - gaming was no longer an exclusively male space, and the rise of female representation triggered a backlash.
💻 Online platforms amplified this outrage through their algorithms, normalizing harassment under the guise of "free speech." Far from neutral, they became enablers, rewarding inflammatory content with visibility and allowing harassment to flourish. Gamergate reinforced the "gamer mold," framing women and marginalized groups as interlopers and discouraging diversity (O’Donnell, 2022).
⚠️ The tactics of Gamergate persist in modern online hate campaigns. While diversity initiatives exist, women in gaming - whether developers, streamers, or critics - still face routine harassment (Cote, 2020). The fight for inclusivity is not just about gaming; it reflects broader struggles over power and digital exclusion.
The Gamer Mold: Who Fits, Who is Pushed Out, and Who Fights Back
The stereotypical "gamer" - young, white or East Asian, middle-class male - is an instrument of control, upholding the status quo (Yao et al., 2022). This exclusionary identity dictates who is seen as a "real" gamer.
📊 A staggering 83% of adults aged 18–45 report harassment in gaming spaces (Moreno-López & Argüello-Gutiérrez, 2025), exposing systemic hostility toward those who do not conform.
This structure fuels gatekeeping. When Anita Sarkeesian critiqued sexist tropes in Tropes vs. Women in Video Games, she faced a coordinated harassment campaign, including death threats, rape threats, and a mass shooting threat at Utah State University (Teti, 2017).
youtube
💣 Such extreme responses reveal that digital platforms are not neutral but contested battlegrounds for power and exclusion (Chia et al., 2020).
Gamergate further entrenched the "gamer mold," reinforcing gaming as a male-dominated space. However, marginalized gamers are fighting back, reshaping the industry, and creating alternative spaces.
youtube
Press Start to Disrupt: How Marginalized Gamers Are Fighting Back
Diverse gamers reclaim space through streaming, esports, game development, and indie gaming.
Groups like Black Girl Gamers (BGG), founded in 2015 by Jay-Ann Lopez (Teasley, 2024), have built safe digital spaces for Black women, amplifying marginalized voices through curated Twitch streams and industry panels.
🌍 BGG is not just about representation - it is a direct challenge to the structures that police gaming culture.
The rise of such communities underscores the depth of systemic exclusion (Paul, 2018). Their existence highlights how traditional gaming spaces remain hostile, necessitating alternative platforms.
However, progress is not just about visibility; it requires dismantling entrenched power structures. Actual change goes beyond inclusion - it demands systemic transformation in how gaming spaces are defined and governed (Peterson, M. , 2013).
Gaming's future hinges on this battle (Chia et al., 2020). The question is no longer whether diversity belongs in gaming but whether the industry will dismantle the barriers that necessitated these counter-movements in the first place.

In the gaming industry, allegations of discrimination have recently come to light, with Sweet Baby Inc. and its involvement in the creation of Forspoken at the center of controversy. Let's delve into the details of this unfolding saga, exploring the accusations, the role of Black Girl Gamers, and the broader implications for diversity and inclusion in gaming. The Sweet Baby Inc Scandal: Unveiling Discriminatory Hiring Practices Recent revelations have cast a shadow over Sweet Baby Inc., a prominent player in the gaming industry, as accusations of discrimination in hiring practices surface. It's alleged that Sweet Baby Inc. implemented the Forspoken agenda, targeting Dungeons & Dragons, leading to outcry and scrutiny from users and specialists alike. As the story unfolds, concerns about diversity and inclusion in gaming have taken center stage, sparking a broader conversation about representation and equity in the industry. The Role of Black Girl Gamers: Consulting on Forspoken and Facing Backlash One of the key players in this controversy is Black Girl Gamers, a consulting firm hired to provide narrative input and feedback on Forspoken, particularly about the portrayal of Freya, a Black female protagonist. While Black Girl Gamers' involvement was intended to ensure authentic representation and address issues of colorism and textures, the outcome has been met with criticism from players who felt disappointed with the game's optimization, design, and storytelling. Additionally, Black Girl Gamers' hiring practices have come under scrutiny, with accusations of discrimination surfacing in response to their search for a black female Dungeons & Dragons content creator. Understanding Colorism and Texturism: Implications for Representation Colorism and textures are forms of discrimination that disproportionately affect individuals with darker skin tones and coarser hair textures, respectively. In the context of gaming, addressing these issues is crucial for promoting diversity and inclusivity, ensuring that all players feel represented and valued within virtual worlds. By consulting with organizations like Black Girl Gamers, game developers have the opportunity to incorporate diverse perspectives and experiences into their projects, fostering a more inclusive gaming landscape. Navigating the Fallout: Addressing Accusations and Moving Forward As accusations of discrimination continue to reverberate throughout the gaming community, industry stakeholders need to acknowledge and address these concerns head-on. By fostering open dialogue, implementing transparent hiring practices, and prioritizing diversity and inclusion initiatives, companies can work towards creating a gaming environment that celebrates the richness of the human experience and embraces players of all backgrounds. Only through collective action and commitment to change can the gaming industry truly evolve into a more equitable and inclusive space. FAQs: Q: What allegations have been made against Sweet Baby Inc. regarding their involvement in Forspoken? A: Sweet Baby Inc. has been accused of implementing the Forspoken agenda and targeting Dungeons & Dragons, leading to allegations of discriminatory hiring practices and controversy within the gaming community. Q: What role did Black Girl Gamers play in the creation of Forspoken, and why has their involvement sparked controversy? A: Black Girl Gamers was hired to consult on Forspoken, particularly about the portrayal of Freya as a Black female protagonist. However, their involvement has faced criticism from players who felt disappointed with the game's optimization and storytelling, leading to accusations of discrimination in hiring practices. Q: How can the gaming industry address issues of discrimination and promote diversity and inclusion moving forward? A: The gaming industry can address issues of discrimination by fostering open dialogue, implementing transparent hiring practices, and prioritizing diversity and inclusion initiatives.

Have you ever heard of the blackgirlgamers sub Reddit? No one knows for sure why it was banned but it was during the time when Reddit was banning every “non inclusive” sub reddits. The girlgamers subreddit is still there but it has so many tims. I don’t know if you watch gaming/league competitions but the “women’s” team is always 70% male. Or when you look up girl gamers on twitch it’s a bunch of tims. It s hard out her for girl gamers. Everyone always talks about how they’ve infiltrated women’s sports but forget that are taking over women’s esports and gaming too. (What little esports and gaming women had to start with)
I'm a very casual video game player and only watch Super Smash and Pokemon competitions lol but even in those I've noticed the saturation of TIMs. In fact a friend just sent me a seemingly innocuous article about the first female protagonist from the Pokemon games in the 90s only for it to detail how important she was for trans women actually 🙄 Wouldn't be shocked to find the "former" Gamergate incels and transbians Venn diagram to be a circle.
I've never heard of the sub but considering how especially pissy these men get when Black women don't kowtow perfectly I'm also not shocked it got taken down in the mass transphobia ban
I would be more than a casual player like I was as a teenager if it weren't for misogyny. I could be decent at Pokemon if I tried my highest ranking on Showdown is 1600 lol

I remain firmly convinced and very comfortable with the idea that Black folks within hobby spaces (fanspaces or the gaming community) need and should foster community spaces dedicated exclusively to them on and offline. There are no ifs, ands, or buts about it.
This esp important for Black women/femmes across the spectrum, who are frequent targets of harassment campaigns and antiblackness within so-called hobby spaces that constantly call themselves "open" and "welcome" to everyone.
BlackGirlGamers is one of the few Black-centric spaces online that I know explicitly enforcing that boundary. They don't try to make a space they built for Black women "a space for everybody", and even boot out Black women who uphold damaging isms. So, yeah, I'm glad to hear folks are getting put in their place when they try to cross explicit boundaries.
Y'all don't get to decide that you're invited into a space that deliberately excludes you because you don't know how to act in the open space you have when Black folks inhabit it.

From @BlackGirlGamers:
If you haven't heard, World Africa Day is the celebration of the formation of the African Union in 1965 and the subsequent unity between its countries. It's grown into a worldwide celebration, of Africa's growth, creativity and cultures - all of which can be seen in Africa's gaming industry. This year we spotlighted some of Africa's trailblazers, their unique perspectives within the gaming industry and their achievements in the space with our first World Africa Day of Play. On Saturday, May 25th, we showcased several key studios from across the continent in a gameside chat.
