i don't talk about Life outside of vague, mostly school-related tweets here and there. i've only posted xiv writing once and probably won't do it often for Professional Reasons™ and because i just don't have time to write things outside of my thesis lol. buy my book when it comes out in 2069.also i 100% do not engage in any xiv drama. if i see the weekly arguments over like, why liking emet means you support imperialism, i can't follow you!
my blanket response is this: as someone who's done extensive academic research on shadowbringers' narrative influence, i can tell you that cursory readings like that do a massive disservice to the writers who worked on this game.
