You know who we need most when companies overreach and desperately need reminding of their place? People who are already spending their cash on said company. I would love to start a Cancel Your Nitro Membership and Pass Along the Sentiment train. Just cancelled mine. Join me ✨ 🌹

Discord is going to reintroduce Global Age Verification, which restricts teen accounts.
Teens will face several limitations:
- Blocked access to NSFW channels and servers
- Sensitive media automatically blurred in chats and direct messages
- Mandatory message requests for incoming texts
- Restricted speaking access in Stage Channels
To lift these restrictions, unverified adults can confirm their age via one of the following options:
- Credit Card checks via k-ID x Stripe
- Official ID through k-ID
- Selfie
- Google Wallet

Thank you so so much @defensetrain.bsky.social for your incredible work on E'xcel!!! You've illustrated my son perfectly and with all this masterpiece you can see all about him (more infos in the ALT text^^)! I'm so happy with how everything turned up and you should absolutely be proud of this!

I had this idea of relating E’xcel to The Chariot major arcana, symbolizing his commitment, willpower and determination at becoming a Monk worth his name. That’s his main goal since the beginning of Dawntrail, to switch from being a Samurai (you could say that the decision to switch jobs is related to the previous Major Arcana, The Lovers). 

I also link the Chariot card to him because it’s a symbol of outer strength and to ascertain oneself. The former as a proof he has come a long way about flooding himself with negative thoughts when he fails to pull his weight in a team effort or simply when he does mistakes. The latter because a big chunk of his character is to proudly show his heritage from Thavnair and Hingashi through dancing, food and clothing, among other things. And also, his mixed race of Seeker of the Sun (from his Thavnairian mom) and Keeper of the Moon (from his Hingan dad), as shown by his sharp canines and slitted pupils^^ 

Since The Chariot has this whole duality imagery, you can see Thavnair’s warm colors and some Hannish lamps and the other side representing Hingashi with a Katana, a Bow and some Hingan lanterns (representing all the martial training he got from his strict dad, a former mercenary). And nothing screams Monk like the whole Solar and Lunar Nadi mechanic, central to the job!
