Like these people dont know me so im not bothered but I do find it kind of funny that People are pointing fingers at me, playing a 32 y/o, as if this is some kind of 'gotcha'
Anyway, with all that's gone on and with the amount of Vitriol being thrown out at XIV muns I'll just be doing my own thing from now on. I'm planning on opening up an invite-only sandbox at some point because I like having setting and all that for blorbos to be thrown at each other but!
Seriously? What the hell are peoples problems?
They have no idea who I am or (presumably) who Pinya is but they see me threading with other people and they're like OH MY GOD A LALA THEY MUST BE A PEDO
idk man i find it kinda funny at this point

is confused at stupid mean people.
but yeah, I know i've been not doing great at the tagging stuff myself recently! Whether that was to do with the unsurety of Noct recently or simply loss of interest in the premise - i'll be takin a liiiiittle break
But i've got ideas that I'd like to play and open up to other people without the constraints or AC of a game so!
when that time comes and I get everything set up, I'll make another plurk
i mean probably
this is why wankgate is worthless as a source of feedback
(besides, you know, insults are not feedback)
Oh it's absolutely not feedback - it's, at best, popcorn entertainment if you're removed enough from whatever it is they;re wanking about this week
I'l be my "creepy lala lewding" self over here ig
edited bc i forgor the qotes
I guess all us NPC players are creepy lala lewders too after playing with Pinya. /shrugemoji
How dare you play a character of age bumpin with another character of age with both player's and chars enthusiastic consent!
excuse me, but Haurchefant lewds all WoLs equally!!!
He simply Cannot Contain His Love
he's gonna stan all the short kings and queens
oh i mean if you throw pinya she's gonna have a gr9 time
which is essentially anyone not Roegadyn lmao
Doing that last 6.0 msq fight as a lala is so fucking funny lmao
Hehehe I’m only bat lvl 85 right now.
MAN there's so much good shit
I’m just slow. After working and kids I have all of 2 hours of any me time and once I’m on FF I don’t want to get off only being on an hour or so. I try on Saturday’s, but don’t always succeed.
Wankgate is extremely dumb most of the time, with their "saving grace" is their sometimes amusing shitpost energy and the fact that they aren't a hivemind
And will tear into each other if there's no consensus about someone
I'm STILL trying to figure out what "reverse fujoshi bait" is.
okay so full disclosure I was nervous about Pinya initially because I've had some really bad experiences with 'actually they're a grownup' lewders but like. The problem has never been the lalas themselves
I think they coined one of the most scathing sentences about themselves that is like, the most sentence of all time
I ain't even mad because people are gonna bitch over every popular thing but that statement genuinely confused me
"What if the Daily Mail thought it was Batman?"
oglops which is fair! and why I asked what ur boundaries were before we started playing!
and literally the first time we spoke it was 'okay so I'll want to ftb until I know what the vibes are' and- yeah!
I pretty much immediately knew what the vibes were
and like I'm totally fine with Pinya mostly just teasing the hell our of Marcel, I think their silly relationship is cute and funny
nah, I was honestly fully on board with lewding with Pinya from a few tags in
though her teasing him immensely is excellent too
Hahaha, she was full of glee like 2 tags in
Mostly I'm expressing how I was initially unsure just to make it super clear that when I say Pinya doesn't come off that way at all, it's coming from a place of being very sensitive to it
it means a lot to hear you guys say that! I understand why people would be uncomfortable with Pinya and/or Lalafell in general, and if/when people were like "I'd rather not" That's it, end of story, we find other threads to play with instead of smut
I mean A2 and Pinya didn’t do the smutty... such a prickly android. But loved hanging with her.
I like to think that with handwaving they got to be very good friends! and again, I don't feel like smut if the be all and end all!
back in the dark ages when I tried Noct Cassandra thought Pinya was...amusing, as much as she could in their situation because I was slowtagging on an event.
Please Megu's going to smooch Pinya people can die mad. She's a full adult woman??
nightlocke haha, I mean she Is
definitely amusing, if not annoying in some cases XD
Cass finds her brothers MUCH more annoying.
schoenheit ofc she's small and small people aren't real people gawd
Also Millie going to wg is always a bad idea, I've had all anoncomms blocked for four years on all my devices now and it's been great on my MH so try to not stress yourself out looking at such nastiness too
lol are ppl still on about lalas 'being children' shit
probably. because small people no matter what have to be children. /eyeroll
yeah obviously. short people dont exist
it's not like lalafell are the first small types in MMORPGs
yeah like...dwarves exist in like every other franchise too
and i only played noct with her but he thought she was a very good size to hug
but anyway yeah, wg is a cesspool and its best to let them all just being the oroboros of suck to each other, im sorry ppl there are being shitheels
Cass ran into her while she was small and dragon shaped...and prior experience said to her "you do not mess with dragons."
that is a good philosphy to live by
noct agrees, pinya punched him in the face even if it was a misunderstanding
schoenheit don't worry about me! it's not definitely something I put actual stock into. it's kinda like reading r/aita for me haha.
ngl can't wait for me to get namedropped in the next round like THIS NONCE TRIES TO DEFEND THEMSELVES
LMAO YEAH like straight out of the gate "my special power is summoning eikons" you fookin wat mate say that to my fist
And ugh wankgate is a cesspool and why is it allowed to still exist
but more importnatly his dignity
but yes. i thankfully dont rly know how to get on it so i def recommend the 'never touch it ever again' approach
I think the very first time I was on WG was someone bitching about me for using both "Piñara" and "Pinya" interchangably
or sometimes without the nino on the N, because sometimes I'm on a PC without the numpad lmao
BUT! other than all this wonderful entertainment, I'm doing alright!
Still trying to find a place to move into for next month, a bunch of the landlords are like "no we need you to be available immediately" and I'm over here trying to make sure I dont pay a month of double rent like "pls sir"
oh nah it's fine like, I'm sure the closer we get to the date the more will open up to us, the anxiety greebles have come to me a little bit but it's not too bad - we wont be immediately kicked out of this place since our contract is rolling
but im still like "okay I've gotta save up for a deposit and hhhhhh"
I've got a tidy amount put away but I still need to make sure that utilities and all the once-off payment gets paid in time
For what it's worth, I actually did really like Pinya and enjoyed CR with you
People making such assumptions based on who you're playing need to go touch grass
Sorry you got kinda dragged into shit by proximity
it's fine lmao, it's not the first time it's happened, and certainly isn't the last time I'm gonna get shat on for being an xiv oc enjoyer
I'll probably be staying away from games for a little while, even if I do get my.lil sandbox up
I wouldn't mind doing PSLs or something with you in the near future. You're cool and I've definitely enjoyed your presence here
now I've actually read the WG thing, I'm still so thrown by referring to intersex characters as 'reverse fujoshi bait'
I'm hoping it's like a random driveby asshole because the idea that we were in a game with someone who thinks that's an okay thing to say is so gross
like??? I could not wrap my head around that one for the longest time
I think they could only be talking about Viera? because they're like. the most genderfluid in the game and the one most open to interpretation to being intersex
yeah, I can't interpret 'a thing that the viera have in common that would warrant this description' as anything else
good to know that anon is transphobic trash on top of randomly accusing people of being a paedo
Oh boy.... yeah, transphobia and paedo comments go hand in hand
I'm like 2 seconds away from changing my display name to "Creepy Lala Lewder" but I know someone would take it seriously
They've accusing trans and LGBT folks of grooming now
oh they've been doing that for as long as I've been alive I'm pretty sure
Yup but it's been amping up to an extreme over here recently
the dream of absconding to a gay, gay island
Isle of Lesbos, here we come
pahaha, I need a lesbian specialised in Back Fuckery to unfuck my back and honestly that's the life
they say, as if their entire body hasn't decided to fall apart at 26
aaahhhh yes. I miss DWRP now and then, but I don't miss Wankgate's particular bullshit.
Also Pinya back in Syn was a delight, just an absolute non-stop party, and I can only presume she remains just as awesome
but yes there's a few WG regulars that are just REALLY BIG MAD that a bunch of us are doing things in a way they don't like. Like, living in their head rent free, finding ways to check in on their least favorites and making up reasons they suck and everyone hates them just like them
not healthy, man. It's not healthy. They need to find other hobbies like I did
having SYN as my intro game to DWRP absolutely spoiled me bc holy fuck I don't think anything could ever live up to it. now I am aware of WG and live in eternal fear and thus PSL-land. can also confirm pinya continues to be an absolute delight
Syn deffo spoiled me, but I'm also not gonna be scared away from apping to other games when I'm back on my tagging bs haha
I might shelf the gremlin for a while and play Rice or V or Jim as Mt main for a little while, it all depends!
what kind of answer is that? A Pinya answer!
I miss Syn's particular collective creative energy, and I miss the joy of being part of various FFXIV casts cuz that was my first experience in A Big Popular Cast and I think I learned a lot about... interpersonal relations, let's say...
spiced, two seconds later, hiding a Pinya under her skirts when the Brass Blades arrive,
But while much of the reason I've pivoted to VTubing for my creative energies is that I think I was burnt out on writing, a solid additional part was people being that sort of behind-your-back shitty about stuff that there was no need to be shitty about.
I have definitely slowed My roll on writing ATM. I think part of it is that it's hard enough to get me through the weeks as this world turns on, let alone getting my muse through various things
like some of this stuff goes beyond the usual "I wanted to kiss the blorbo, weh" carping, there's some maladaptive mean girl behavior fueling things here.
and like ice seen how drama-y the vtubing community can get, but I also know that a lot of them are kids
oh god VTubing makes me feel like a granny
pahaha, you know how baby I am and even I feel old!
the fact that I know that a significant portion of the dumbest asses are like. 18 at best.... really helps me keep things in perspective
at worst it's like I COULD BE YOUR MOTHER, CUT THAT OUT
DWRP drama is just the old people in the old people club taking jabs at each other with butter knives from the church basement fundraiser
absolutely!! it actually blows my mind that one of the most common pitfalls I've seen for vtubing are these kids literally spending their rent on models and rigs because it's the Done Thing like CHILDREN!! RENT, THEN YOUR IMAGINARY INTERNET WAIFU!!
that's the best description of WG I've ever seen, thank you
you don't even have to blow all your cash on fancy custom rigs anymore if you want a Live2D! I know of a good number of free-to-very-cheap customizable options!
ngl I will probably be drawing Pinya in a shirt that reads "Creepy Lalafell Lewder" or "The special-est snowflake"
"the special-est snowflake" has always struck me as a stupid insult to throw at people because you cannot tell me that each and every single one of us, especially the people pissing and moaning on WG, don't want to be special
That's the point of this shit, it's just that everyone's desired 'special' is different.
My life improved when I reached the point of being able to say "okay, you do you" when I see someone chasing their 'special' in a way that I wouldn't.
oh my favourite part is that we're all competing for our fave NPC's Dick, as if said Npc's weren't in the discord and plurks... planning to tap dem asses
imagine communicating with ur cast
sometimes the NPCs very much wish to offer the dick!
so we're all having a laugh about it and have changed our handles to our tailor made insults
aw yeah, that sounds like a blast
I always had a blast with Pinya! I'm sorry I wasn't able to do much but Graha would have smooched, 10/10
I always thought of wankgate as high school bullies who never grew up from that. The kind of bullies that spread nasty gossip around the school and online.
I was namedropped twice in wg and they're all "who?"
was the reverse fujoshi comment about Kainé? lol I closed the thread
Oh man I keep trying to forget WG exists because of the sheer anxiety that place triggers
I really want to stay away from WG for my own sanity’s sake.
that's the thing that gets me most of the time, like... the NPC player wouldn't be there if they didn't want to play with wols, or they'd ask them not to tag. but I've found any NPC player who apps into a game with wols is usually willing to play with them
there are some NPCs that aren't, and that's okay, it's just best for them to avoid games that allow wols
but if the NPC and wol players are having fun, what's the issue?
MadrinaBastet since that comment was all about bashing WoL's I think it was about the Viera in the game, since some were played as intersex and genderfluid
crystalzero for real, like, all the WoL players knew whether or not said NPC had any idea who their oc was before the muses started interacting in game. I played Pinya as being sad but ultimately resolute when no one knew her as
their WoL - and I'd never assume that people outside of my RP circle in-game would know her
yeah, and as someone playing the imminently shippable Haurchefant, i was very clear with the cast that while none of the WoLs in game would be "his" that i was very much interested in exploring whether he would fall in love with any of these disparate people, and would be very open to shipping
and the answer, as it turns out, is that he was basically wife'd by half the cast and i was having the best time of my life lmao
PINYA LOVES HER WIFESBAND SO VERY MUCH
she also loves her spouses-in-law just in a different way
yeah the entire reason i apped g'raha was to bounce off wols
Am sad that I didn't tag him more before you dropped but I was having a good time
same! I wanna do psls when the arm improves
We'll just have to have everyone smooch everyone in memes and psl!
Honestly the cast was so peaceful and welcoming this last year and I'm glad to have met everyone
foxtrots: i'm also sad i wasn't able to tag G'raha as much as i wanted
because the idea that the two of them would be the President and Vice President of the WoL fanclub just tickles me
Haurchefant and G'raha just doing the /showleft and /showright to all the WoLs
honestly same they would have just been EXCITED
they are perfect for that sort of thing haha
ever since Twitter infected me with the "Haurchefant lived and got gatcha'd to the first AU" i am now very much interested in hearing G'raha players' opinions on what he would have learned about Haurchefant from Edmont's memoirs and all the records of the Dragonsong War
like, in my heart of hearts, G'raha picked PLD as his tank class specifically because of Haurchefant
and i feel like they would have enthusiastically infodump'd to one another about their respective special interests
that sounds like really fun CR

this is all so delightful to read
Aymeric is also in the fanclub because he has tender love
Aymeric is the Secretary of State to the WoL Fanclub
Tataru is the Treasurer, for obvious reasons lmao
plot twist: the wols form their own fanclub for the npcs
leading to an epic battle between /showleft and /showright
WHO CAN SPARKLE THE HARDEST?
fjabxisjxif despite my eternal terror yall make me wanna app in aaaaa ;u;
I'm pretty sure that whatever mess of wols we end up forming you're welcome
Sparkle so hard it triggers a flood of light-
Sparkle sparkle… sparkle sparkle
WoL VS NPC but it's like. a Fanclub-off
i mean it just ends up like this but
i mean.... you're not wrong
but
FloralunaAria I know that Shiny and others are opening Seasons soon - I'm going to be waiting until I've moved to app in, maybe Pinya, maybe Rice
I'm sure that even if there are people apping/interested that you dont get on with or dont get on with you that we can all be adults about it
i have no idea what seasons is since im usually super out of the loop w/ plurk bc work aaaa but that sounds nice
Leeeet me get you the link
Yesss if you have time pls pop in everyone on my plurk list has an invite if they want
