Found the pic on the left and stole it because bigots forfeit their property rights. Felt inspired by the bigot's love of basic science though, so I made a the pic on the right to help argue that basic science being the same forever—you know, like religious dogma! 🙃 #TransRights #Science

A two-panel satirical illustration depicts a mid-century teacher pointing at a chalkboard before a classroom of students, comparing biological sex categories to geocentric astronomy. The first panel features text dismissing sociology and government committees regarding basic biology, while the second parallels it with a rejection of heliocentric astronomy in favor of geocentrism.

Working on a new essay. It's "Euphysics II," where I introduce a rehabilitated, contemporary, and nonbinary version of Nietzsche's philosophy. Here's a funny picture and caption from it where I discuss what replaced God following his infamous death in Thus Spoke Zarathustra: 1/2

A close-up photograph showing a tongue-eating louse (Cymothoa exigua) resting inside the open mouth of a small fish held by human fingers. Below the photo, a satirical caption humorously frames the parasite as a billionaire real estate investor unhousing the fish's original tongue.

How I feel wearing flare pants. 😭 #FashionFeed #BodyPositivity

A mushroom cloud labeled "My head" at the top, "my waist" in the center, and "my legs" and "my ankles" along the stem, with the text: "My body's like a nuke ready to blow, baby." This dark, satirical diagram humorously highlights the exaggerated silhouette of flare pants by mapping them onto a nuclear explosion.

I felt pretty at work today. 🖤

Three years of love and partnership born of radical truth and shared pain that flowered wildly into a copse of black thorns and rainbow petals. Love you, Vic Dhivri, my obsidian jack. 😻

A close-up selfie of Ellis and Vic at P-town. The individual on the left has dark, shoulder-length curly hair, bright blue rectangular glasses, and a slight smile, wearing a ribbed, mauve v-neck top. The individual on the right has receding dark hair, a short beard, and distinct dark makeup including thick black eyeliner and dark lipstick, wearing a black mesh top, a thick black choker, and layered silver chain necklaces. The venue's lighting casts warm pinks on the left and cool cyber-blues on the right, with several LGBTQ+ pride flags hanging from the ceiling in the background.

I was going home, and someone shouted at me from their car that they really liked my glasses. I will accept this compliment. 💙

A bright, outdoor selfie of Ellis smiling, wearing blue-framed, rose-tinted glasses, dangling earrings, and a charcoal t-shirt with a crossbody strap. She stands on a balcony overlooking a sunlit, hilly street scene with trees, cars, and buildings.

🚨 THE ASK TIME IS OVER! 🚨 I just finished my first week at my new clinical job! The transition is stabilizing, work is going beautifully, and I am looking at the future with massive hope and high expectations for myself. We got this. :) 1/3

A white Siberian Husky named Riko stands in the center of a room, looking directly at the camera with pale blue eyes. She is standing on a large, patterned area rug with an ornate design in shades of brown, tan, and cream. In the background, there is a white radiator against a deep purple accent wall, and a large cardboard box sits to the right, indicating a space in the process of being settled. In the lower foreground, the edge of a bed with a dark grey and red plaid comforter is visible.

Today, I got to play an hour of #FFXIV. For the first time in weeks. Not to attend an event, but to legitimately play! I'm not caught up yet, but it's a fine way to pass the time until March 16. Here's my main on Mateus, Joan Dhivri.

A medium-full shot of a character, Joan, standing behind a futuristic DJ mixing console. She is enthusiastically raising a bright green glowstick in her right hand and holding another pointing downwards in her left hand. Joan is a feminine character with a thick, multi-colored tail, glasses, and dark hair. She is wearing a black top hat with blue-lensed goggles, a vibrant pink and blue sleeveless top with chain details, blue shorts, asymmetrical arm coverings, and dark thigh-high boots. The DJ console in the foreground features glowing dials, sliders, and turntables. The background is a dark, metallic environment illuminated by purple and blue neon accent lights.

A medium-close shot of Joan in the same futuristic setting, angled slightly closer. She is looking upward with a bright smile, her right arm raised high holding the green glowstick. Her outfit details, including the top hat with goggles, black-rimmed glasses, vibrant pink and blue top, and asymmetrical arm straps, are clearly visible. A portion of the glowing DJ console is visible in the lower-left corner of the frame. The background consists of dark, textured geometric wall panels lit by ambient purple light.

🚨 THE SANCTUARY IS FOUND! 🚨 I've found a 1-bed apartment on the bus route for my new clinical job! But I need help securing the space. I’ve been forced to move 8 times in 4 months and the instability is destroying my ability to function. I cannot move again. 🧵1/2

To the left is a purple accent wall and a window covered by black curtains with a white moon-phase pattern. To the right is a black desk setup featuring a computer monitor, an illuminated colorful keyboard, a lamp, and a black office chair. In the foreground on the floor, there are unpacked black travel bags and a box of cereal, highlighting that the space is still being settled into.

Onboarding has officially begun! 📝 Navigating the paperwork & background checks is stressful, but it's the exact kind of "good stress" I've been fighting for. Having this sanctuary is working. My cognitive bandwidth is returning—I even finished my gigantic essay on AI! 🧠✨ 🧵1/5

A close-up of Riko, a white Siberian Husky with bright blue eyes, resting comfortably on a red and white plaid bedsheet. Ellis's hand with a small black heart tattoo on the wrist is gently petting the top of her head. Riko is wearing a textured blue and black collar and has a soft, relaxed expression as she looks downward.

A selfie of Ellis smiling warmly at the camera. She has shoulder-length, dark wavy hair and is wearing bright blue rectangular glasses. She is wearing a black t-shirt with a colorful graphic print, over which hangs a white ACLU Pennsylvania name badge that reads "Ellis Arcwolf" and specifies her pronouns as "She/Her/Hers". The background suggests an indoor community space or office, featuring a brick wall, a printed QR code sign, and a table with a bunch of bananas.

She woke me up at 3 in the morning. Then she passed out almost instantly. I'm so jealous. I wish I felt half as safe as I'm able to make her feel.

An overhead view of Riko, a large white Siberian Husky with thick, plush fur, resting peacefully on her side. She is sprawled across a beige rug featuring an intricate pink and green floral motif. Her head is turned away, eyes closed in deep rest, with a white bone positioned near her snout. She wears a dark, sturdy collar that contrasts with her bright coat.

In both the Lucumí and Celtiberian traditions, the door is the interface between the public and the private—The Sovereign. 🚪✨ In the Lucumí tradition, the entrance is the domain of Elegguá. For my paternal converso (Crypto-Jewish) ancestors, the door hid sacred objects from the Inquisition... 🧵1/3

A ritual bóveda on a dark dresser, featuring seven glasses of water arranged in a directional V-shape around a white plate of yellow offerings. The setup is positioned behind a white door with a full-length mirror that reflects a computer workstation with glowing dual monitors. This arrangement functions as a spiritual threshold and interface, designed to watch over the room where the user sleeps and works.

Update from Pittsburgh: I am Joan Ellis, a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with 10+ years experience. I am currently homeless after fleeing an abusive situation to save my life and stay with my dog, Riko. 🧵1/5

It’s been quiet because a lot has happened: I’ve completed four job interviews (including UPMC!) and have one more this Monday. I’m just waiting for the first official offer to land. The silence was a matter of survival. Where I wound up staying last wasn't so great... 🧵1/5

What the fuck? Dude can't even bring himself to say "culture." Hey. Dimwit! The habit of smiling is not acquired upon American naturalization, nor is it distributed by Customs and Immigration Services. It's acquired through FUCKING CULTURE. 🧵1/4

A screenshot of a text-based article or post. The header, which is a blue hyperlink, reads: "Americans have such an interesting reputation internationally," followed by body text in black: "but one that seems to give our nationality away in Germany is our habit of smiling. That's not to say that Germans don't smile because of course they do! But they don't smile while passing strangers on..." The text cuts off at the bottom.

I have been informed that this sandwich reveals me as truly and quintessentially Colombian, and I feel pride this morning. 😻 #Food #ColombianFood #ComidaRapida #Sandwich #Heritage #TheCrunch #CulturalIdentity

A high-angle, close-up shot of an open-faced sandwich on a white ceramic plate. The foundation is a slice of dark brown, whole-grain bread topped with a circular slice of pale deli meat and a square of bright orange "Sliced Sharp Cheddar." A dense layer of crushed, golden-yellow potato chips is piled atop the cheese. In the background, a granite countertop and the purple packaging of the cheese are partially visible.

I am so stressed about today being Jan. 6, that I haven't been able to finish Act I. But final edits ARE on Scene 3, so we're close. In Scene 2, you get Maxx waxing frustrated at U.S. politics from the POV of a FFXIV original character. So please enjoy while I finish the rest! 💙 🧵1/5

A vibrant outdoor garden scene in Eorzea centered on Maxx, a male Miqo'te with spiked red-and-black hair and blue eyes. He is captured in a playful, irreverent pose: his head is cocked sharply to the right with a faint, knowing smirk, projecting a sense of unbothered mischief. He wears a red mesh top over a black harness and a short black skirt, with intricate floral tattoos spanning his arms and a stylized mark on his cheek. His arms are held slightly away from his body with open palms in a shrug-like gesture that emphasizes his nonchalant attitude. In the lower right foreground, his husband Gladjen—a female-presenting Viera—is only partially visible, her red and white coat serving as a close-cropped anchor to Maxx’s whimsical defiance. The background features lush greenery, mushroom stools, and tea tables, further softening the scene to center on Maxx’s playful personality.

A medium-shot portrait in Bestways Burrow featuring Archon Maxx standing confidently behind the two Loporrits. Maxx, a male Miqo'te with red hair and white-rimmed glasses, wears a red formal jacket over a black waistcoat and tie, smiling with one hand on his hip. In the foreground, Aetherophysicsway and Starboundway stand side-by-side, both wearing their characteristic white hoods and blue tunics, accented by crescent moon buckles.

A high-angle, three-quarter view from behind Archon L. Maxx Arcwolf-Kisne, a Miqo'te with vibrant red hair and glasses, wearing a tailored red coat and white trousers. He stands upon the glowing, cyan-patterned floor of Bestways Burrow, looking down at the two Loporrits. Aetherophysicsway (Aeth) looks up with a wide-eyed, smiling expression of excitement, while Starboundway (Star) stands beside them with a more reserved and thoughtful demeanor.

Nobody: "..." Me: "MATH!!!!!" #FFXIV #Etheirys #Worldbuilding #Lore #TTRPG #Math #GameDesign #Eorzea

A dark-themed educational graphic titled "Equivalence Equations for Second, Minute, Bell, Sun, Week, and Moon." The text explains the mathematical link between isochronal measurement units of Etheirys and Earth. The units for Etheirys (second, minute, bell, and sun) are marked with a carrot emoji and mapped congruently to Earth units (subscript R). Below the text, a set of algebraic equivalence equations shows that an Etheiryan week equals 8 suns, and an Etheiryan moon equals 4 weeks or 32 suns.

A revision? *Already?!* Whaaaaaaa....?! 🙀 #FFXIV #FF14 #FFXIVLore #FFXIVRPC #WorldBuilding #Aetherophysics #CreativeWriting #SciFiFantasy #GameLore #Writing #MMO #FinalFantasyXIV #FanFiction

$A screenshot of a blog post header titled "The 666 Apeirofractal Multiversal Manifold Model (6AM×3) – The Hydaelic Revision." Subtitle reads: "An Aetherophysical Treatise on the Tripartite Hexagonal Architecture of the Multiversal Manifold." The author list includes L. Maxx Arcwolf-Kisne, Æ.W.; Lord Aegeus Knightstar; Aetherophysicsway, 🥕!W.; Starboundway, 🥕!W.; Milo Milopolis, Æ.W. (9:7AE; posthumous); and Amon Brutus (3AE; posthumous). The Abstract defines the "Apeirofractal Multiversal Manifold (ℳ)" via a tripartite architecture of six umbral dimensions (ℝ⁶), six neutral fields (F⁶), and six astral forces (A⁶). It identifies the "monad (μ)" as the singular quantum of aether. It formally names the physical realm "Hydaela" (D_H) and the spiritual realm "Pleroma" (D_Σ), while identifying the Rift as the "Kenoma." It also identifies Dynamis (F₂) as the source of zero-point "dark" energy.$

I did a thing. Meet Liam Meri'a Morvelet, the Bard of Sagon. First image: Painted circa 1250:5AE, right at the opulent peak of the Fifth Astral Era, this oil-on-oak panel is attributed to the master Raoul de Valois. Now, I want you to look closely at the lighting. ... (🧵1/5)

A waist-up screenshot from Final Fantasy XIV of a male Miqo'te character named Liam Meri'a Morvelet. He is dressed as a Bard in an elaborate black coat, a wide-brimmed red hat adorned with colorful feathers, and pince-nez glasses. He wears layered, jeweled necklaces and colorful wrist cuffs. He holds a white quill pen poised over a small open book, smiling softly at the viewer. The background features blurred wooden bookshelves filled with leather-bound volumes, suggesting a library or study.

A generated image styled to look like an aged, cracking oil painting on an oak panel. It features a stylized portrait of the same Miqo'te bard, Liam Meri'a Morvelet. The art style mimics early Renaissance portraiture with flattened perspective and muted gold and earth tones. He wears the same red feathered hat, glasses, and intricate jewelry, holding a quill to a book. The surface of the image has a heavy craquelure texture, simulating centuries of age.

I fucking *love* writing for Maxx. 😹 He's such a joy: BRWTYS Only be patient till we have appeased The multitude, beside themselves with fear;* And then we will deliver you the cause Why I, that did love Kæsar when I struck him, Have thus proceeded. (🧵 1/4)

A high-contrast screenshot from Final Fantasy XIV featuring Maxx, a male Miqo'te with vibrant red hair, black tips, and white-rimmed glasses. He is dressed in a sharp red waistcoat over a white button-down shirt with a black tie and a leather body harness. Standing in a desolate, rocky landscape under a gloomy, overcast sky, he strikes an oratorical, dramatic pose, triumphantly holding a large pink folding fan high above his head.

But there's so much more, and here's just a little of it, thanks to my ENSTRAD's analysis of my fan fiction writing: #FFXIV #FF14 #Eorzea #Writing #OC #Trans #Gaming #Worldbuilding #CharacterDesign

An infographic divided into two distinct but intertwined visual styles—organic and geometric—representing the symbiotic relationship between two characters, Joan and Maxx.

Left Side (Joan: The Architect of "Trees"): Features organic, vibrant imagery including a large, lush green tree and a powerful female superhero in a glowing aura. Text describes Joan as a "fiercely protective matriarch" who focuses on individual emotional connections and relationships. Her power is framed as enabling her kindness rather than conquest.

Center (Their Symbiosis): Shows how the two relate through icons like a compass and a scale. Joan provides the "spark" and energy, while Maxx provides the "architecture" to keep it standing. Maxx acts as Joan's "navigational anchor," while Joan serves as Maxx’s "moral foundation."

Right Side (Maxx: The Engineer of the "Forest"): Features blue, geometric, and blueprint-like imagery, including a brain icon and a map with tactical markers. Text describes Maxx as a "brilliant strategist" who views the world through macro-structures and long-term viability. He manages a neurodevelopmental empathy deficit by using a constructed ethical code built on Joan's values.

Core Theme: The overall design emphasizes how the two cover each other's "blind spots"—Joan managing individual "trees" (emotions) while Maxx manages the "forest" (macro-systems).

Ellis Cú Joain Arcwolf@arcwolf· Dec 23

How are Joan and Maxx similar? How are they different? Well, for one, they're both AFABs, although Joan is a woman and Maxx is more of a man than most cis men you'll ever meet. That ain't even hyperbole. 💪 Below, please find a picture of my OC and my beloved son. 💙 (More! ⬇️)

A joyful, close-up selfie of two Miqo’te characters from Final Fantasy XIV, Maxx Arcwolf-Kisne and Joan Arcwolf-Dhivri, posed against a soft, ethereal background of glowing crystals and greenery.

On the left (Maxx): A masculine Miqo’te with vibrant red-and-black spiky hair and white-rimmed glasses, grinning broadly to show his teeth. He wears a white cropped jacket over a bare, muscular chest that features prominent surgical or battle scars and intricate black tattoos on his shoulder and face.

On the right (Joan): A female Miqo’te smiling warmly at the camera, dressed in a sharp "power-clash" aesthetic consisting of a bright pink long-sleeved shirt, a deep blue vest, and a black necktie. She wears a black bowler hat with a pink ribbon, and her left eye glows with a brilliant, magical blue light.

The Interaction: The two characters are leaning into one another with their arms around each other, capturing a moment of deep familial connection and shared joy.

I have dranked a little overmuch. oh no lol #Discord #Funny #Typos #Shakespearean #DrunkTexting #ChatLog #InternetHumor

A screenshot of a Discord chat between two users, Ellis Cú Anann Arcwolf and Vic Dhivri. Ellis begins with a mock-archaic sentence: "Uh oh. I have dranked a little overmuch." Vic replies with "oh no lol" and two emoji reactions (a laughing cat and a heart). Ellis immediately follows up with a series of typos and a realization of the irony, saying, "That was terrible Shakespearean Engli," then "Elighs," and finally "Fuck XD," illustrating a humorous "drunk texting" moment or a slip in typing.

Basically, Maxx is a functional sociopath with a heart of gold that he's built on a framework of community-oriented self-interest and moral axioms (like who always matters to him no matter what he feels or thinks at the time). And which he largely credits his mom for. 😻
