it's so true. you never think it will happen to you until it does. many have fallen prey to this.

screenshot of a post that says: seriously do not fuck with final fantasy they will make you care about default brown-haired white man you will think it won't happen to you say to yourself I will never care about default brown-haired white man in fact I think he's kind of lame and then they hit you upside the head with shadowbringers and before you know it you're sitting there like I have to go to work ardbert give me strength we'll get through this together

@vontography.bsky.social grabbed this photo of my Qifrey earlier this year at @animemilwaukee.org, and it’s quickly become a favorite cosplay photo of mine ❤️ Can’t wait to shoot the finished costume more later this summer! #witchhatatelier #qifreycosplay #witchhatateliercosplay #qifrey

I cannot stress enough how good a rule "don't post stuff just to dunk on it" is. whether it's a big community or a friend discord. it is a declaration of "this isn't how I want to engage with people or with the world." things are bad enough out there.
