ye olde pinned poste

so a bitch decided to spin up a shorter pinned post. hi, i’m bitches.

I’m DT and that’s been my online handle since 2001 so every time I see a Dawntrail post cross my dash I’m double-taking and scowling at all y'all for it. Employed adult, she/her, some flavor of queer, that’s all you need to know.

This blog is mostly an FFXIV space, but I have an eclectic range of interests and employ a semi-rigorous tagging policy for my own archival purposes. I like books, writing, knitting, video games, fountain pens, shiny rocks (and ink and dice and rings and–), my dog, and baseball. If I’m crying it’s probably over an empty word doc or the Red Sox.

Do not ask how far out my queue goes, if I can’t see it then it can’t hurt me.

Here are some links (apologies to mobile users where these may or may not work):

Portrait of a young woman wearing a tattered green moth mask with glowing orange eyes. She is leaning against a mirror and looking at the viewer with a strange glow in her eyes.ALT

important adulting reminder:

it is absolutely okay to have a screaming crying jag when a really shitty problem presents itself and you are trying to solve it. the screaming crying jag really does help process the worst of the stress.

you are also allowed to sniffle and eat a chocolate bar afterwards while getting the problem finally solved.
