Muto from Suikoden III. He's a very good boy.
A visual reference of the Cacophonous Warlock / Cryptic Subclass. This being of indeterminate gender has a sick as hell gothic space monster vibe to them, with gnarly looking inhuman parts and a club with what looks like a small burst of spectral flame on it.

A visual example of the Raizo species in Neon Odyssey. She has a gangster-like swagger to her, red tattoo covered skin, and an oni-like physiology. The art is by Avantris' production partner Wild Blue Studios.
a selection of dialog from Touhou 6 Embodiment of Scarlet Devil. Flandre says "I've been sleeping in the basement. For about 495 years." to which Marisa, brilliantly, responds, "Cool, I only get weekends off."

An image showing a displayed Rosie (Hazbin Hotel) costume (as created by Tallgirl Cosplay) at the San Japan Cosplay Museum. Text on the image reads; "Howdy!

a black, handmade sign intended for a wrestling show. it has the words "HOOT GROWL HOOT GROWL" written on it in varsity jacket style font.
an image of Richard I as he appears in type moon's Fate franchise. He's wearing off-white armor, accented in lush red, with a head of moppy blonde hair with red streaks in it, ending in a braid. he's carrying a sword in one hand and his cape in the other. he's quite delightful.
a picture of a person reclined, playing a video game on a Nintendo Switch 2 while wearing a headset. Focused on in the image is a tortie cat, relaxed to the point of nearly sleeping and looking deeply content.
a thread of posts, starting with our own that was made (this is important) on 11/21/2024: "while Yui is a great character (and Very Gender, iykyk) but it's always surprising to hear just how popular she is, eclipsing most of the other characters in the game (though to fair, samrem Saber is probably more popular, but no one on jpn fate fandom uses their true name, for obvious reasons)" the person responding just under a year later, name and pfp removed, says this in three threaded comments: "SamRem feels like it only really has 3 characters - Iori, Takeru, and Yui. The main duo get the most focus in-game, and Yui gets focus but not as much as them. I really like her concept as a heroine of justice and an Einzbern homunculus, and how she hates the world's unfairness similar to Iori. Unfortunately, FSR has multiple plot holes that do Yui dirty (her role in the prologue, her leaving in ETD being character regression). I'd rate her higher if not for that. My friend who played CCC said that has similar plot holes too because of NG+. Seems TM video games are doomed to that. I wish people would talk more about Yui's character, positive or negative, or the plot holes, because people really only talk about ship drama with her." we respond with two threaded comments: "gonna be honest, between not really agreeing with most of these comments (but not really having the energy to respond to them, either) and the post you responded to being almost a year old, i don't think i'm the audience for this sentiment, lmao. (that's not to shame you for seeking out conversation, i just wanted to let you know as gently as i can that you're kind of barking up the wrong tree for a discussion here)" they respond: "Sure. I didn't think I said anything controversial or hostile, but a conversation takes two to feel comfortable. Take care." that's it. that's all the context.
a quote repost, username and pfp redacted, stating: "Unblocking you to say: The guy you are misogynistic over is a feminist! You've been gooning to someone who embodies what you hate! SamRem is a story about marginalised people, including Iori the underdog who deserves the hate most of all. I'm gently letting you know it's not the story for you!" the post of ours being quoted just says: "(that's not to shame you for seeking out conversation, i just wanted to let you know as gently as i can that you're kind of barking up the wrong tree for a discussion here)"

an image featuring both the male and female versions of Ritsuka Fujimaru from Fate/Grand Order in a Shinsengumi costume, released roughly a few days before this bsky post was made, and roughly one month after San Japan, for which we had planned and executed a Fate/ Shinsengumi cosplay group, in which WE REALLY COULD HAVE USED THIS DESIGN.

a job listing for "Audio Editing Specialist" by Jobright.ai, however it further goes on to say "AI Trainer, New Grad (Remote)", so it's specifically preying on new graduates from audio programs. This shit sucks!
an image of Chun-Li's swimsuit costume from Street Fighter 6. she is wearing a blue one piece with a keyhole cut in the front, a mostly open back, and high rise over the hips.
A job posting from a Linkedin email. It is from the company Babel Audio, and the listing is for "Remote Voice Actors & Acting Students - Perform Empotional Scripts for AI Voice Training ($150 per recorded hour)". This listing is disgusting and inhuman.
ICG Guidelines: Ensuring Fair Competition... 2021 Edition Entering a Costume in Multiple Competitions It is considered unsporting to enter a costume that has won a major award in a larger Masquerade with relatively stiff competition at a smaller Masquerade with less competition in the same Skill Division. Fairness concerns about repeat entries may be offset if the costumer is willing to enter the costume in a more experienced Skill Division. Costumes may be entered in more than one competition under the following circumstances: ● A costume that has not won an award in competition may be entered in another Masquerade. ● A costume that has won a major award may be entered again in a competition of similar size at the discretion of the Masquerade Director (usually if the audience, judges, and slate of entries are significantly different). ● A costume that has won a major award in competition may be entered again in a larger competition. ● A costume that has won a major award in competition may be entered again in a higher Skill Division. ● A costume that has won a major award in competition may be entered in exhibition (not judged in competition). A costume that has won a Competitive Award (such as Best in Show or Best in Division) in an international-scope competition should not be entered in competition at any other Masquerade. (See Judging Guidelines.) If the Masquerade Director determines it would not be fair to enter a costume in competition in any Skill Division, we recommend the Director consider encouraging the entrant to show the costume in exhibition (not judged in competition).

the dialog is Tidus' monologue from the original FFX sending scene; "How many died today? People die, and Yuna dances. When will she stop dancing? When will it stop? Yuna won’t stop dancing - not until Sin is gone." However, it has been transposed over a much goofier scene from FFX-2 of Yuna dancing uncontrollably due to the influence of the Dancer dress sphere.
a screencap of the profile of bsky user "syllogisticwhale", who had replied to this thread in an argumentative tone and blatant misreading of the point. some highlights from this profile are the phrases "sex not gender", "LGB without the T", "Gay not queer", and "Free Palestine from Islan". Easy block, should have read this before bothering to reply to them.
