Ben Starr signed my print with "It's a-me, Clive" soo... I'm an amused bean right now. I requested his favorite Clive quote, serious or meme-y, and... I was right to suspect that he'd choose meme-y XD

So excited to finally be able to share one of the FFXVI fics I've been working on! It's kind of an odd AU that came to me in a dream, but... a roleswap of sorts between Clive and Joshua, an arranged marriage between Clive and Benedikta, secret (but probably not quite as secret as they think) Cid/Clive trysts, a lot of fluff, some smut, eventual plot with the Mothercrystals and the curse... There's going to be a lot. I hope you guys enjoy it!

Hey! You mentioned you got accepted as a translation volunteer manager a while back! Were you a translation volunteer before that? Could you share how the selection is performed? I'm super curious and maybe interested in trying to volunteer in the future!

Of course! I'll be honest, I don't remember many of the details because that was several years ago, but I do remember that aside from the initial application, there's a panel interview. It's all done online, of course, and at least back then, it was just via chat, not video call. It's very casual, with both professional and fandom questions. I was never a translation volunteer because I'm not fluent enough in any languages other than English, but I was involved in some of the interviews for translation volunteers, and they ran much the same way.

Overall, they just want to know how much translation experience you have, whether you'd be a good fit for the team, and whether you'll be able to commit the necessary hours (which should be listed on the description of whatever position you're thinking of applying for). Try to relax, I promise they don't want anyone to be anxious about the interview and it's not like a super serious job interview. And if you don't get accepted, try not to take it too harshly. There are many different reasons that it could be for, one of which simply being that some of the language teams are ALWAYS full. Also, a good thing to keep in mind that we sometimes saw people misunderstand--the translation volunteers don't translate fanfic. You can do that all on your own without being a volunteer, just ask permission first from the author of course. Instead, translation volunteers translate things like site documentation (ie, tutorials), news articles, and Elections information. So make sure that's what you're interested in before you apply.

If you do decide to apply as either a translation volunteer or volunteer manager, I wish you the best of luck! :)

I dunno if this has been posted yet, but.....

Keep this shit off AO3

We don't want that kind of pearl clutching 'christian' conservative sitting on the AO3 board. Keep Moms For Liberty out of our fanfiction.

#JFC this again? #Ugh #Also. Speaking from experience here-- if you've been volunteering with the OTW for THREE DAYS you should know what PAC is lmao

remember when clive saved cid from falling when that bridge gave way and cid helped clive to his feet after and just held his hand for the longest time without explanation and clive looked at his hand when cid walked way remember that

#Omg someone else finally pointed that out #thank you! #That moment has been living in my brain for a few weeks now and was the first thing I wrote into my Cid/Clive WIP lmao #Also: apologies in advance to my followers #I'm probably about to become an FFXVI (specifically Cid/Clive) blog for a while lo #(Tbh they give me VERY similar vibes to Rhife in some ways. But are totally different in others XD) #cid x clive #Firestorm #Final Fantasy XVI

So, uh... Turns out my grandma is still a homophobic bitch, even after living with two openly queer grandkids for months. We got into a big fight yesterday, and then she tried to turn it around and started screaming and swearing (which she NEVER does) about how I’M the one being prejudiced, because I supposedly don’t love her because of her beliefs.

I ended up coming to my mother’s house in tears. Have been doing my best to avoid my ‘father,’ but there’s only so long I can keep that up for and I am... SO fucking tired. I’m tired of finding out that various members of my family hate me, I’m tired of having to bounce from house to house because nowhere is home, I’m... I’m just tired. And I don’t know wtf I’m gonna do for the next few weeks, where I’m gonna live, because I STILL haven’t heard back about the city’s process that we’re waiting on so I can finally move in to the Seattle apartment that has technically been mine for a month and a half now.

I’m just tired.

Went to Bebe Rexha’s concert last night. It was pretty fun, and she performed “Gateway Drug,” which made me really happy for... probably obvious reasons, if you’ve read my fics lol. Got to be close to the stage for Zolita’s set and met her afterwards and got a pic and autograph on her merch, too. (The merch was booty shorts that literally say “gay ass”... It’s amazing XD) The experience AFTER the concert was a fucking nightmare, though. After walking ~4 miles throughout the day around Seattle, I had to walk another 1.5 to get back to the parking garage my car was in... half of which was up a very steep hill. And I somehow got lost in the last 4 blocks and ended up wandering around for an extra 10 minutes. And when I got there, the fucking garage was locked! Even though they had evening hours of 7pm-5am listed, it was apparently only actually OPEN 6am-10pm. Which I somehow completely missed when I was reading the sign. And their “emergency after hours access” number wasn’t answered when I called twice, and my call never got returned after I left a voicemail. So mom started driving all the way down to pick me up. But then a resident saw me loitering around and called security on me... Luckily, even though the guard scolded me, he still let me in and out, so I called mom and she turned around halfway there. Saved me a looottt of trouble that that person called security, because I would’ve had to go back to Seattle AGAIN at 6am to pick up my car, and I might’ve gotten a ticket because my parking pass was only good until 11:20pm. I am tired and sore af, but at least I have my car.

Gotta remind myself not to overdo it when looking at beautiful art. There’s this special golden zone where you’re the most inspired and motivated by other people’s art but it’s so easy to slip into overwhelm and get demotivated :(

[beccabear93]

Feels weird to feel so... optimistic about anything. But it seems like there’s a lot of promising stuff happening in my life rn, and I really want to believe that they’ll all pan out okay.

#Personal #I've probably got a nice apartment that I'll be able to move into in a month or two #I'm working on grad school apps and actually have a shot at getting into the program I want #And possibly love life stuff is happening???

I was reading something about Whitestown, Indiana and my eyes nearly popped out of my head thinking it was one of THOSE comically racist towns. Nice to know, at least the name, wasn’t that.
