Apparently a friend figured out that you can export Dressmaker dresses to FFXIV in modding- I don't know the exact process beyond "it's possible", but y'know. Much to consider.

Marketing every new fantasy with a romantic element as romantasy does a disservice to readers and writers. Romance & fantasy have different expectations (no shade to either), so a romance in a fantasy setting is NOT THE SAME as a fantasy with romantic subplots. Everyone just ends up annoyed

It’s not helped that the RPhub discord has allowed misinformation to be shared with mods never stepping in (the big one being that AI can be used as an accessibility tool; I believe we have access to accessibility tools that do not poison the water of various marginalized communities)

Grim @wildfireward.bsky.social · 12/10/2026
It’s been an ongoing request for RPhub to be more transparent with their anti-AI rule. I think it’s been actual literal months of asking “hey is AI text also included”, with crickets. Friends have reported profiles with ChatGPT prompts left in to crickets.

Actually one thing I'll say. I'll say this. Channeling hate symbols? That's fine. That's okay. AI hate? This Is Hate And Harassment. Self-Admitted Mass reporting an account for NSFW over a thigh slit? We Must Shield Everyone Now.

Cool. Minority users on the site cannot point out that entirely hypothetical people who aren’t even in the conversation might not practice critical thinking because that’s apparently targeted harassment. Ticket was straight up locked.

I get that community moderation is overwhelming, but point-blank: your site should not have a community section if you cannot differentiate harassment from generalized negativity. Sweeping valid user opinion and discussion under the rug to pretend nothing bad ever happens sucks.

Did you know you only need a small brain to make silly little drawings?
4 panel comic:
Panel 1: pink blob guy on a table, pencil in their hands. Grey circle on a piece of paper and a glass of water on the table. They say “look here”
Panel 2: Proudly, they hold up the drawing of a grey blobby character on two stick legs up in the air. The pink blob says “I drew this!”
Panel 3: Satisfied they sit back down on the table. They now go “it’s not much, but..” The grey drawing looks a bit peeved because the drawer is calling it “not much”
Panel 4: But it’s okay, because now the pink blob is very pleased finally. He says “it came from my brain!” Holding the pencil up. The grey drawing blob is happy again, too. End well, all well!

i wanna point this out to make your point- this was being discussed in april. it's october, after the moderation team has been told about the rp group referenced here. that rp group is still up on the site.

given the double standards as well (won't listen when people flag about neo-nazis or people using chatgpt in their character bios and leaving the prompts in), it's forming A Picture. i don't think it's the one they wanted to be formed, but it sure is, forming A Picture.
screenshot of a bluesky post by @ilikemen.heliosphe.re. quote, "mind you this is the same fucking moderation team that was apparently fencesitting about the conduct of some garlean communities on the website because they're not there to moderate ~aesthetics~ UNLESS IT'S POC BTW"

attached is a screenshot from the rphub forums, with rphub site runner hanabi saying, "On the second point - if anyone sees profiles or communities using actual hate symbols on RPHub, please report them directly to rphubco@gmail.com and they'll be handled same day. That's a clear ToS violation and I don't tolerate it. I'm aware of one community that uses a Maltese cross in their logo with notches which has been mistaken for an iron cross, and I've looked at it carefully - it's not fascist imagery. If there are other examples I should be looking at, I need actual reports with specifics, not general claims in comment threads." 

User BritNo replies with, "I would like to say that, despite the fact that Maltese crosses are being used, the intent behind their use on a *pro-Imperial group* is incredibly obvious and it's troubling that the moderation team either does not see this or is choosing not to take action. If I penciled in an extra line on each of the swaztika's arms, does that make it acceptable to use?" 

hanabi answers that with, "We moderate on behavior and content, not aesthetics. Garlean and imperial themed RP is canon FFXIV content and we don't ban communities for engaging with ingame factions. The community's rules are public and explicitly anti-harassment and anti-real-world-politics, which anyone can verify. If a community has been engaging in hate speech, harassment, or targeting real people, report specifics to rphubco@gmail.com and I'll act on it same day."

I low-key/high-key wish people just took it as an excuse to just- make art. Be messy artistically. Have fun Having exact numbers won’t give you (general) a higher SEO in RP or make your fic more enticing

if they do that with canon, what they do with each other is probably on another tier of bad So while I can’t speak for all of everyone: the anger at the time bubble (whether it’s the one year or blurry time idea) is misguided anger at what’s happening in a lot of closed door RP communities

Grim @wildfireward.bsky.social · 30/07/2026
collaborative spaces being kinda notoriously difficult to sync up ideas in to the point where I’ve seen 17 RP communities go up in smoke in one live letter because cosmic exploration was announced because it “violated” their low fantasy cozycore aesthetics-

Like- I agree with the entirety of the thread, I just also think the anger is a symptom of a different problem

Grim @wildfireward.bsky.social · 30/07/2026
I think a lot of where you’ll see the frustration is people who want a shorthand to do collaborative storytelling with as many people as possible (roleplayers and fic writers being the two I see this in the most)

hating your art is not a virtue, it's a sign of burn out or mental illness. the same way your muscles ache if you exercise too much or your stomach hurts if you're starving. learn to identify it as a sign you're pushing too hard or expecting too much of yourself somehow and check in with yourself.

anyway, today i'm thinking about how stormblood is about the girls, yes, but on a metatextual level, it's also about the ways different kinds of women, across different ages and backgrounds and personalities, are feared—both in the text itself, and how fandom at large treats this expansion
