Do not think for a moment that this admin is only going after trans folks. They are ultimately going after the whole LGBTQ community. They start small, like getting rid of a hotline option, then go BIG.

Hello fellow FFIV lovers!

In just about a month, on July 19th, we will celebrate the 34th anniversary of that wonderful game. To celebrate, I would like to offer you a little help to get the creative mind running ~

This website will generate for you a Bingo sheet, customized based on selected elements and prompts. With this, you can create a grid of bits of inspiration to use for writing, drawing, anything you can think of! There are characters, places, elements specific to the game, themed prompt, writing or painting challenges...

I offered a few way to play but to celebrate this coming anniversary there's one I particularly have in mind. Creating a 6x6 grid gives you 18 pairs of prompts... Enough to cover from July 1st to the special day ! One day, two square checked, one piece of fanwork, until the grid is filled.

Of course, you don't have to use that. No matter what you make of this website, I would love to see the kind of grid you create and the fanwork that comes out of it!

To hype ourselves for the incoming anniversary, you can tag all your grids and works with #FFIVbirthday2025 !

And watch out for @wordlesslyjenneh's blog as july comes for more FFIV love and hype ~

(Finally: I'm all open to improvement suggestions, additional prompts, ideas... unless it's on the visual end. Don't make me touch more CSS.)

Flower Language Based Prompt List I made instead of writing 💐

I tried to make the prompts relate to each flower’s definition per the Victorian Flower Language without getting too repetitive.

The prompts are all fairly open ended and I figured people could use them for their own inspiration or request games!!

You know the “send me a ship and flower and I’ll write something.”

Anywho, if anyone does end up using this I’d love it if you’d tag me so I can read what you’ve written!! Either way, I hope someone can get use out my procrastinating 💖

doomed yaoi this doomed yuri that what about the ones left behind. what about the two vertices of a triangle whose apex was ripped off. what about the bitter, resentful, codependent bitches with a shared crater in their soul the size of a missing third, clinging to eachother in the aftermath of their loss desperately trying (or refusing) to move on. people who press together like the lips of a wound stitched shut

What's frustrating about the Musk and Trump thing is that. Like.

It's a distraction.

Trump cancelling the subsidies to electric cars was a campaign promise. That was basically announced months ago, I think Musk just didn't expect Trump to go through with it

And Musk saying Trump is in the Epstein files, is like. We knew. The files are everyone that Epstein associated with, and Trump has photos with the guy. We all knew.

I mean, it's a lot of flash, but to me it does feel like a bit of a nothingburger?

It feels like a distraction.

Even if the emotions are genuine, Trump might be getting encouragement to blow up the relationship so that people are distracted from the many real problems of the Big Beautiful Bill. And also so that the Left feels like there's momentum on Damaging The Right As A Cohesive Block.

So we're distracted, instead of:

Noticing how many Republicans are saying "I wouldn't have voted yes if I'd actually read the BBB"

Paying attention to the new travel ban

Recognizing that this isn't really moving anything

Calling our senators about the insanely stupid tax breaks in the BBB

And any number of other government actions that are shaping up to have real and lasting impacts on us

"my doctor is refusing to prescribe me this medication I need because they think I'm displaying 'drug seeking behavior'"

-> "it sucks so bad that the institution of medicine empowers people to be so ableist and just refuse treatment to addicts based on vibes" yeah it sure does

-> "addicts are to blame for this" bro is onto nothing 🔥🔥🔥

I mean... if humans didn't write with em-dashes, how would ChatGPT have picked it up and started using it?

"It's AI" has become the new "I don't like it but I want everyone else to hate it too so I'm going to call it AI so everyone will have a kneejerk hatred for it" and it's frustrating.

i don’t give a fuck if i “sound like chatgpt,” you will pry—my em dash—from my cold—dead—hands—fuck you fuck you fuck you
