I love seeing and playing games that my mutuals have because you directly tell their impacts on my library (I would have never tried an incremental for example)

Photo of a raccoon inside of a box of packing peanuts. The text says next to the raccoon "looking for an image that I know I have saved" the packing peanuts are labeled "literally thousands of memes and images saved on my phone"

Live-action roleplay, a form of embodied role-playing, if you remove the table from role-playing games like cyberpunk or dungeons & dragons (that's the fastest way I can describe within the characters I'm allowed to use here 😅) Here are 4 pictures of me from Larps, it's enjoyable, dare I say FUN!

A photo taken by candlelight and oil lamp alone of a dark-skinned non-binary person without a shirt. They are leaning on a bar looking at a small keg.

A photo of a dark skin non-binary person with white blonde fro hawk. They are wearing black and white a v-neck sweater with a leather jacket open on top. Their face is excited with mouth open teeth showing, they have a septum ring, and futuristic eye makeup in black white and blue and are looking off camera.

A photo of a dark-skinned non-binary person dressed in a dark purple and black surrounded by fog/smoke. They have dark purple box braids that reach down to their waist and a large black cap with brim. They are wearing a black face mask and staring directly into the camera and reaching towards it with intention.

A dark-skinned non-binary person with face prosthetic on to appear alienistic with orange striped pattern. They are wearing a gray and white headcovering, sunglasses, and on the lower half of their face a futuristic mask with orange nose piece. They are wearing black and gray clothing with a distinctive "they them" necklace. A pale hand rests on their shoulder. The photo is taken over the shoulder of someone out of focus and they are looking at the camera.

So today a rideshare driver bent my wheelchair wheel out of true. (What a great way to start traveling) I'm very lucky because I have spare wheels at home and I have the rage inside of me to get the axle shaft off with external force. I really liked those wheels 😞

Patreon is up to its bullshit again. We came to a resolution about this and now we're back to it. Like nothing happened I love monthly billing! It allows consistency and it's easier to track benefits as a creator. Patreon keeps forgetting that creators are their ecosystem, not the patrons.

An email from Patreon. It reads, Hi, If you're receiving this email, you're still using first-of-the-month billing. Unfortunately, Apple has reimposed its mandate forcing all creators on Patreon to use subscription billing by November 1, 2026.

Late last year, Apple blocked our app update and made it clear that in order to remain in the App Store, we have to comply with their billing requirement."

A button to "Read more about Apple's mandate"

"We strongly disagree with Apple's decision, and will do everything in our power to support you through this transition. Here's what you need to know:

You'll need to switch to subscription billing before November 1, 2026.
There's no action required right now."

So even if you have a disability parking placard you still can't park on the blue hash marks. That's illegal. That's right I was trapped outside of my car for an hour!! despite working with the business to get this person to come move their car. Then, they had the nerve to say "Did you report me?"

A photo of two cars. The one on the left is a gray Honda Civic with the license plate MVP 8868, who is parked on Blue hash marks.
The other car on the right is a red car parked correctly in an accessible parking spot. It's license plate is covered with the access symbol emoji. The gray car is parked so close to the red car that even a biped could not fit to open the driver's door.

A selfie of Dann, a dark-skinned, non-binary, Afro-Indigenous person, with afro hair that is ombre black and green that goes over a gray sweatband. They are wearing a purple Hawaiian style shirt over a purple turtleneck. Dann is looking off camera.

This feels frivolous What is Dann day you ask? It is a day to celebrate Dann! 🥳 I don't do birthdays for reasons, I prefer to be celebrated all the time year-round 😝, I have picked a day for your convenience. Buy me a ko-fi.com/DarkerLarper (it'll probably turn the caffeine into art or something)

A square graphic stylized like '90s text, with colorful pop background shapes. It has two pictures of Dann an afro-indigenous dark-skinned person. In the first one they are holding their hand out smiling and looking at the camera, in the second one they are holding up a Redbull can with their mouth while throwing up a peace sign.

The text alongside reads "Dann day is coming", "September 22nd (the autumnal equinox)", "more info below", "(no this is not a birthday)"

The text on top reads "Monstrosity A vampire larp of erotic horror" in large letters. "Save the Date Oct 30 - Nov 1 | Nov 2 - 4 | Nov 6 - 8"

It's 5:00 a.m. and I'm in the gym (so I don't self sabotage years worth of hard work) Might fuck around and go find a trail later (S tier procrastination activity)

So I found the mysterious elevator on the map - I'm not going to lie I've been complaining about how bipedal focused the map is for years. Please let me fix it! As a reminder I am an inclusive design consultant and this is literally what I do for a living. #PaxUnplugged

Dann, an Afro-Indigenous disabled person is wearing glasses. a cap, and mask sitting in a wheelchair in front of an elevator. They have peace fingers up.

Dann ✨DarkerLarper✨@darkerlarper· Dec 6

Uggg why must they move access things so far from the elevator Anyhow #PaxUnplugged I'm in you (Fun fact my power assist was supposed to be here before the con 😔)
