Garen has been written since 2013, and was a re-telling of my Legacy character, hence his history as a Walker and Warrior of Light (non-WOL). He still keeps some of the old Legacy lore, like an Echo that has specific powers! As for changes...

I am truly and honestly getting tired of internet drama on this website. It's probably about time to pull the trigger on these accounts. We will see in the next few days.

Garen: Never. Not a single part. He's way too happy with his growing family. Soma: He'd think about it. He regrets a lot of his past and wishes it could have gone differently.

SON OF A BITCH. SON OF A BIIIIITTTTCH.

I am begging you, XIV community, can we not go back to another era of ‘negativity is banned and everything is always fine!’ Whether you like it or not, the reason we have so many exciting changes coming in 8.0 is because players complained and hundreds of thousands stopped playing.

History's most powerful Gundam, used as a washing machine. It's truly beautiful. Man makes machines, but machines are not made to be evil. We use them in that way. We can also use them for good.

Ah so Bluesky doesn't have a way to really do a good content warning. Any suggestions?

I own a pair of these. They're nice headphones and speakers. I taught people the signs to know when they were recording. I can't trust that Meta isn't using them for other purposes. It's a shame, that was one of the nicer pairs of glasses I owned. AI stop being terrible challenge: impossible.

music.youtube.com/watch?v=hZJR... We should not be playing this again.

I don't play fighting games like I used to. But I still love them dearly. If you ask me my favorite genre of game, that's going to be my first answer. Long live the feeling of two souls facing off in battle. For the sheer rush of victory.

You will receive the real me as a writer. From the most dramatic tragedy to the dirtiest smut to the most thrilling action, it will be ours.

So I'm answering this one partially as an excuse. Garen is fine with getting older; however my annoyance comes with the general community decision to stick to the time bubble. Garen had to receive a near complete rewrite to fit into it.

Grant yourself the kindness that you so eagerly give to others. It gives you strength so that you can continue to give kindness in the future.

Garen has three (soon to be four) children and is monogamous. It's safe but it ain't protected, heh. @datassize.bsky.social

A heads-up #bsky users: Bluesky has decided that it's a good idea to AUTO-PLAY gifs & videos by default. New footage that will trigger a lot of people has been released. Please check your settings. Under Settings -> Content and Media

It is not wrong to criticize Square Enix for the DDOS situation on NA servers. FFXIV simply deserves better than the treatment it's being given. Invest in your game. Please.

If you see this, post your favorite Final Fantasy character.

We are weak. Weak alone, weak by ourselves. Together though? We are truly strong. Stronger than you bastards on a golden hill think we are. The human spirit will not be broken. We are tiny embers, forming a flame bright enough to be seen. Don't give up yet. We're not done. Not by a long shot.

Garen absolutely destroys a multiple patty nightmare burger like a frat boy. It's like 2 lb of cheese and meat, and probably some bacon. He doesn't even get fries. Protein blasted.

Dude. Absolum rules. Don't sleep on this shit, this is the return of the arcade Dungeons and Dragons games right here.

THERE IS STILL HOPE FOR MAN.

You know what we need? We need hope. We need a story about facing the worst fate the world can possibly give you... and turning around, spitting in its eye, and going "We won't sit here and follow you to our deaths." We need a remake of Final Fantasy XIII.

Garen doesn't have a father. I mean, he does, technically, but his mother got knocked up at 15 and his father promptly got a sword shoved through him in the Bloodsands. Amelie Ashe is still alive (though one arm lighter) and entirely supportive of her hero family. The entire thing.

When artists post sketches and the brain worms feast. Back when we were on Balmung @zuzupa.bsky.social posted a sketch of Garen's Roysia holding Zuzu's Luluna upside down by a leg. He posted an adult sketch of Luluna today. Roysia is adult age (thanks to retcons) I'm about to spend money.

I can't believe it's a Star Wars entry. But it absolutely is.

Garen predominantly uses an axe that's actually chained to him. So, extending that... It looks something like this. youtube.com/shorts/fX5rr...

I should Gunpla post. My two most recent. RG Exia with significant battle damage, and HGUC F91 with color correction. #gunpla #gundam

If you see this, post a fighting game character.

Garen can be numb to it, but it's not that it means nothing. Even an enemy would get a last moment if it could be given. No one should die alone. Do what you must, but never let this work kill your heart.

Garen phases back into the universe directly in front of his girls and falls out of the sky. It's Roysia, then Freya and Lily who recognize him first - Freya being rather impressive since he'd only known her as a toddler. Then group family hug and a lot of tears. @datassize.bsky.social enjoy.

The White-Hearted Warrior. His armor is almost always pearl, pure or snow white, and he's just, way too nice of a guy.

This depression got teeth today. Damn.

www.youtube.com/watch?v=hZJR... Why in the hell are we still having this conversation?

Finding his Lilyflower. Having Roysia and his twins. Disappearing at Carteneau. Nearly dying at Ala Mhigo. Giving his soulstone to Crest. There's so many, and it can be hard with retcons, but these stick out.

@datassize.bsky.social is all I need. All I have ever needed. Her Lily and my Garen to the end.

Oh shit, Unika's actually pretty fuckin' cool, man. That's Ky's little girl right there lol

I'm literally a meme in my FC regarding how infrequently I change my glam.

VGen accepted my application, to celebrate I'm holding an #artraffle ! 🎉 The winner will get a fully rendered piece. Follow, Like and Repost for an entry. All OCs are permitted, though this is SFW only! Furry, human, all are welcome. Art raffle ends Saturday May 31st, good luck!

Garen's mom is Amelie Ashe, the Eminence of Steel, a former Bloodsands gladiator. Even though she's only got one arm and is around her late 50s now, she's still got fire.

Man, I need something to do that isn't MMOs. Do I want fighting games again? How the hell do I get back into fighting games with such a long break? I mean I know HOW. But damn do I feel slow.

Save. Share. Let the world know.

The depression is... extremely powerful today.

I never said this was a SFW Bluesky. Support your artists, even if it's sharing the smut. Especially if it's sharing the smut.

We used to subscribe to a one-for-one storyline but that became more difficult as it became evident that the narrative didn't really consider the time past. This may have actually been my first point of falling out with the game.
