who decided that grey > green > blue > purple > gold would be the order of weapon rarity in video games like we all know this hierarchy but when did it start????
It’s almost 2AM and I’m lying awake thinking of the time my dad showed me Inception for the first time, then right when the credits rolled, he took a replica of the spinning totem out of his pocket and spun it perfectly without a word.
Fucked me up for weeks.
Why the Fast and Furious franchise is the greatest example of a well done rpg/dnd campaign of all time & why “Fast X” is exactly how you play a max level campaign, a thread 🧵:
For every person who tunes in to watch my dad host Jeopardy this week (Monday July 26th - Friday 30th), I will give my puppy a kiss on the head and tell her she’s a good girl. Want my dog to know she’s the goodest girl in the world?? PLEASE TUNE IN AND TELL EVERYONE TO AS WELL 💖
If you are unable to go out to protest for whatever various reasons, or just feel too terrified you will be targeted: fight in the way you know how. In DnD you can only wield weapons effective if you are proficient in them, right? Pick up the weapon you’ll have advantage with.
Please join me in wishing my dad

the HAPPIEST of birthdays today! Through ups and downs, good and bad, he’s taught me to just keep smiling 💖

I may not have had the chance to be a second generation bunny, but I can still put on my mom’s original uniform and be proud of the black woman who designed such an ICONIC look 💛
I’ve been very quiet about my experience with RT, but with the now vocalizarion of regret of lack of support from my ex coworkers I can say with confidence I didn’t leave because of the community, I left because of the company.
Black and bisexual. Proud to be both. Fighting for both. Endless love for both communities. It’s a hard June 1st, but a proud June 1st. Happy Pride month 🖤💖💜💙
The least hot take in the world: treating human beings despicably because of a game/movie/etc. is horrendous. Sending death threats is horrendous. Expressing violence and hatred towards an artist because you don’t like the content is HORRENDOUS. It costs $0 not to be an asshole.

Not a person:
Not a single goddamn soul:

Thank you, Mighty Nein, for being the reason I’ve found my most cherished family. Thank you to the Critters for taking this girl who had no idea what was going on and welcoming her with open arms. Reani and I love you!
Happy Thursday, y’all, and long may you ALL reign 💜
Am I surprised? No. Am I saddened? Deeply. Women have been describing the harrasment we face in the gaming community for YEARS and yet actions are still not being taken and we still aren't being taken seriously.
WE. NEED. TO. DO. BETTER.
When Reani said “I finally feel like I have a family” that was me speaking through her. 🖤 Every cast, crew, and critter takes ‘don’t forget to love each other’ seriously and i love you. Thank you all for the support.
This isn’t over. It’s so hard to celebrate knowing the system hasn’t changed. The power is still imbalanced. We are still at the bottom of the totem pole. But accountability for Mr. Floyd’s life being taken from his happened. And I will cheers to that.
Black lives still matter. Black lives will always matter. I’m really getting tired of having to type these words or ask people not to share videos of brutality. This is just too painful.
All I’m saying is I left out a lot of detail and was overly kind to blatant abusers who I didn’t name drop back in 2020. The people speaking up about their horrific treatment at RT isn’t news. Seeing n***** written on a whiteboard wasn’t even close to my worst experience there.
I’m crying on my way home, my thoughts are all jumbled, but my heart is warm. Thank you to the entire cast and crew of
@CriticalRole
for adopting me. Thank you to the Critters for embracing me. I love this family. I’m finally home. <3
Seeing guardians holding vigil for Lance on the tower is just more proof at how deeply he will be missed. This man was so beloved. So passionate. He brought life to so many characters who will live on forever. Eyes up, fellow guardians, he’s watching over us from the stars
Dad— you’ve done some amazing things for this world. You’ve really made an impact for the better and will be talked about in history classes to come... but it’s your birthday and I’m you kid so imma embarrass you and tell the world I’m better at video games thank you. LOVE YOU ❤️
I don’t care what the outcome was,
@Marisha_Ray
went 5 rounds in the boxing ring, drew blood, and is still on her feet. She’s a superhero. I’m sobbing I’m so fucking proud of her.
Dad, I don’t know if it’s fate or a coincidence that the day our first project together launches is also your birthday, but to me it feels like the universe is giving you a huge birthday present.
Happy birthday
@levarburton
! Sending love to big La Forge from little La Forge 💛🖤
Not me choking back tears like Steve is actually talking directly to me. What an amazing way to connect to millennials that are no doubt struggling in this time with a familiar face and calming words. Wow. I didn’t know how much I needed this.

fixed that today. Does this mean I’m a knight now? I feel like I’ve been knighted ⚔️
Love seeing so many beautiful, lovely, talented folks participate in

, so I thought I’d join the fun. 2020 was a year I barely cosplayed, but I love these Wonder Woman selfies!
Remember to keep spreading this love and sharing these babes all 365 days 🖤
I will never forget the moment I broke down in tears the first time I saw Chadwick as T’Challa on screen. It was such a proud moment. It was such a powerful moment. It was affirming in ways I can never describe. We have truly lost an icon. Rest in power.
Life isn’t fair. Friends are taken too soon. Tell them you love them. Every day. Tell them you love them every day and don’t take tomorrow for granted. Fuck. Just... love more. Please.
Honestly, this makes me so happy. I’ve worked incredibly hard to try and make my own name for myself based on my own talent and hard work, so the fact that so many people still are shocked is incredible! Thank you all for being so cool 💖
13 year old Mica was ashamed to watch Naruto and had no one to share her love of anime with, and 25 year old Mica bought a Coach bag with akatsuki clouds on it. That’s kinda cool, ya know?
I can’t believe it ends today. Months of shooting, almost a year of waiting, 10 weeks of airing, and now… the finale. So much love to the entire cast and crew of

Picard season 3. We did the damn thing.
But it’s never really truly over, is it? Family is forever. 🤍💫
Okay

Sailor Moon premiered on TV 30 years ago today, and I’ll never forget watching the DiC dub every Monday (after Oprah). I put on the uniform every time too. So happy anniversary to the anime that made me the magical girl I am today 💫✨
Please read this thread. I said before, there is no way I could survive as a working actor if I didn’t have my 100 other side hustles. Yes, I was on Star Trek. I also do not qualify for SAG health insurance and was paid almost the same fee my dad was paid for Roots back in 1977
Some of the discourse around the
#SAGstrike
reminds me of an assumption about actors that I've come across for most of my life. Many people seem to assume that there are ONLY TWO kinds of actors:
1. Wildly famous, rich celebrities
2. Failed pretenders who are actually servers 1/
Hey. Cosplayers who are COSPLAYING the despicable excuses for humans storming the capital for the lols right now? We see you. We’re taking notes. You disgust me.

. You truly know my angles (and are also cool or whatever I guess ❤️) Happy Father’s Day!
Right now in FFXIV, there’s a group of people performing Deadpool 2 as a play in one of the city states. And by performing I mean they’re just cosplaying as the characters and typing the script word for word in chat while tons of people are sitting and watching respectfully.
I love that in Resident Evil games, being full health is labeled as “fine”. Cuz yeah you’re not hurt but you’re still surrounded by fucking zombies so you can’t be better than “fine”
Having almost all of your rights be up for debate is a truly helpless feeling. What next? Say goodbye to interracial marriage? Segregation back on the table? Fucking hell this shit sucks we can’t even trust what we thought we could believe in to stay in place.

Okay look I’m glad my dad has his account back and I’m unblocked… but now I have the chance to do the funniest fucking thing and just… never follow back.
(I kid, i kid, I’d never be that mean… or would I…)
On this day in 1865, the last of the slaves got word they were free 2 years after emancipation. On this day in 2020, we are STILL fighting for equality but hey, at least we have barbecue and white bread and can celebrate our blackness. 🖤 Happy Juneteenth!
In other news I taught my boyfriend who mothman was yesterday and he still doesn’t understand how beloved he is so please send me all the good mothman content you have thanks
(more cheeked up the better btw)
Please do not DM content creators you admire with a whole paragraph about how you know you’re meant to be together because of the content they create. It’s uncomfortable. It’s dehumanizing.
Please don’t follow people solely in the hope you will date them. PLEASE.
Today I learned how to saber a champagne bottle… with a wine glass 🍷🍾

ya girl is off to surgery. please send good vibes and good luck— conquering my number 2 biggest fear of all time today.
stay tuned for a hopeful “i lived bitch” update tweet 🤍
