#LadiesOfLightLore #Ystride and #Euphemia are pretty much the only two that are average height; everyone else is much taller than average. (Context: #Mirita = Miqo'te, #Khorijin & #Khoride = Au Ra, #Rija = Viera, Ystride = Elezen, Euphemia = Highlander*, #Zardaar = Draenei, #Anaya = Night Elf.)

A height chart displaying multiple women standing side-by-side with their heights listed out. Mirita is 6'1"/185.4 cm, Khorijin and Khoride are 6'2"/188 cm, Rija is 7'3"/221 cm, Ystride is 6'6"/198.1 cm, Euphemia is 6'4"/193 cm, Helena is 7'8"/233.7cm, Zardaar is 7'4"/223.5 cm, and Anaya is 7'10.5"/240 cm.

• Mirita is 6 fulm 1 ilm/186 cm. She doesn't think a lot about how tall she is even though she's aware that she's much taller than many Miqo'te; she's mostly just Used To It at this point.
• Khorijin and Khoride are 6 fulm 2 ilm/190 cm. Much like Mirita, Khorijin does not think very much about it, whilst Khoride revels in it and enjoys it, mostly for intimidation but also for seduction.
• Rija is 7 fulm 3 ilm/223 cm. She is very proud of her height as well, and has gotten used to fielding Many Questions about it. Given that many other Viera in her family are at least her height or will grow that tall, she doesn't think anything of it.
• Ystride is 6 fulm 6 ilm/200 cm. They’re happy with it mostly because it means she’s not that much different from any other Elezen at a glance. It also makes a funny because this means that they're Khori and Ride's big little sister.
• Euphemia is 6 fulm 4 ilm/193 cm. She is aware it is a perfectly Highlandery height to be, and is not worried about it.
• Helena is 7 fulm 8 ilm/234 cm. She used to be self-conscious about it when she was younger, thinking it might not have been queenly, but grew into it over time and now regards it rather neutrally most of the time.
• Zardaar is 7 fulm 4 ilm/223.5 cm. She was more uncomfortable with it pre-transition, but post-transition and adjusting to the changes in her body shape, she’s fine with it and it’s probably one of the few things she’s subtly rather proud of, though she’s a little shy about actively flaunting it.
• Anaya is 7 fulm 10.5 ilm/240 cm. Much like Rija, she takes a lot of pride in her height, and did even before transitioning, though she needed a bit of extra time to adapt her training to being stealthy to compensate for it. Now, she uses it as a distraction and seduction tactic when and where it’s appropriate.

#BlacktoberXIV #oc:Magena 3. Self-Love In a world that would betray me, sexualize me, use me. I choose to be the heart other's won't afford me. And in the end, there will be no love worth the price of my own

Magena dances with herself, a succubi tail shadows around their bow. The leading Magena is kissing the underjaw of the following Magena, who cracks a small smile. Her eyes are obscured from the camea, but you can see her lower lashes below the brim of her bang. Behind the duo, an array of Succubi watch their masters play

Aesthetic (Southern Gothic)

N’ami standing and facing Dominique, a long time friend and colleague. They are both looking towards the viewer with an interested gaze. The setting is a swampy area reminiscent of the Bayou within Louisiana. The umbrella specifically is a call out to a dance/tradition called the second line. As a New Orleans native, this particular pose had some home and heart within it. Big big fan of swamp areas and the southern gothic charm that is New Orleans as a whole ✨⚜️✨🖤

Young N’ami (4) dancing with jubilee for her parents N’oemi & N’aaja. Though the picture appears to be one of a ‘happy family’ this is simply a vision N’ami’s had in distant dreams. This has never actually happened for her, but she always dreamt someday it would. Here’s a prelude to N’ami’s inner thoughts, her journey and how she’s become the N’ami we know today.

Eos, in her seraph form, plants a kiss on Lae's lips. They seem to be suspended in air, under the fog of a starless night. Very faintly in the back you can see the forms of mountains against a dark blue sky

Four Black women walking down a street in Ul'dah; a Miqo'te, an Au Ra, a Viera, and a Highlander. The Miqo'te and Au Ra are looking at each other, holding hands, while the Viera and Highlander are watching them, and a ghostly image of the Highlander, dressed up in fancy, Ancient-like robes, is watching them with a similar smile as her non-faded counterpart.

I cannot say that RPHub *didn't* think about this at all, but I will say that the enforcement being uneven in this degree and that a non-white character being the one targeted isn't a good look. I hope they more carefully consider how they're enforcing and approaching this going forward. (6/6-end)

Even as I understand the desire to avoid having to deal with the type of heat that NSFW spaces have to deal with in the current environment, it's important for community websites that allow visual media to really think about how those policies can be weaponized. >>

From: The Ladies of Light @theladiesoflight.blacksky.app · 02/10/2026

But, especially nowadays, I feel that it's important to allow people the space to be in their bodies, even in digital spaces, and to think carefully about how one looks at and thinks of bodies and what gets judged as SFW vs. NSFW.

Being transparent about the Ladies, I'm very well aware that Rija, Helena, Zardaar, & [redacted] have big busts & butts, and sometimes I find myself worrying that when I post them that people might think I'm leaning too hard into Them Being Sexy when sometimes they're just Being Themselves. >>

While I haven't gone looking in the galleries for RPHub to see other people's characters, I can entirely believe that there are other people pushing other boundaries that haven't gotten the same amount of pushback with things that are far more suggestive than the deleted image being referenced. >>

Re: RPHub stuff—while I'm going to wait and see what the response to the influx of comments is before I make a move to pull down my RPHub or just stop updating it, I feel compelled to get a little chatty about this before I go back to thinking about Blacktober images. >>

idk if it'll do anything but i DO think people who like/enjoy rphub should make their disappointment about how the mods are handling the no nsfw rule enforcement known.

returning to this post to say it's deeply disappointing that moderators are clearly enforcing the rules with a bias and will capitulate to bullies targeting specific members of the community and their characters instead of properly reviewing and tossing out reports. images and characters should NOT be getting taken down because of "what if they're not wearing any underwear behind the dress slit?" if nothing's showing and nothing's actually breaking the rules then it should NOT be taken down. you cannot sit here and claim that you're enforcing vanilla ffxiv standards when vanilla items such as the 2b glams, the ao dai, etc. exist that are much skimpier than many of the things y'all take down that get uploaded to the site. i'm genuinely considering deleting my account and deleting the plugin if the moderators can't pull it together and draw the line at what is nsfw and needs to be enforced, state censorship laws or not. at some point you're not "playing safe," you're allowing harassment.

Solona was perfectly capable as a modder before Proteus, and if she insists that throwing all of that away is the better course of action for a false sense of "time-saving" and other people agree with her, that is their prerogative. I have no interest in entertaining that fiction. (end)

Being familiar with programmers who have explained their distate for Claude and its ilk to me, & having researched the impacts of the technology & how it works, I don't particularly like to hear that anyone is justifying its use, especially now. It's really just an excuse to not do the work. >>

The only other thing I will add to this discourse is that Solona herself said she is an experienced programmer, which means she did *not* need to use AI for Proteus. The environmental, societal, and mental impacts of the technology were clear when she chose to go forward with using it. >>

#LadiesOfLightLore Arguably it's Berude's fault that Khorijin had to face a canon antagonist-turned-sister: #Khoride, Khorijin's Fray, was already bubbling inside of Khorijin before DRK started, butt gained some of her more unsavory character traits from Khorijin's impression of Berude. (end)

#LadiesOfLightLore Some of it is misplaced trauma from other Borlaaqi children picking up on their parents' dislike of Gorbeljin, Khorijin and Berude's mother, and bullying Berude when she was a child; as a result, she became prickly and highly sensitive about family pride. >>
