for some of us who give and give and give until we strip ourselves down to our bones there is a lot of processing that can be done in the shadow of the entire FFXIV concept of "Warrior of Light" and all that Etheirys asks of us

No Fanfest for me or anyone I know, so... Toronto watch party planning time!

A student, a scholar, a sage, and then a stranger in a strange land.

if y'all don't push the goddamn crystal I will kill you my goddamn self

Made it to gold so far. Don't think that's too shabby for my first ranked season?

hey hey, i am losing SNAP benefits soon, and i would like to get a nice haircut this weekend, so if you ever wanted a DT charm, you could throw money my way! now with international shipping

ask him if he remembers that ooooold panel where the guy is discretely trying to get him to stop talking about Thal's Balls and he just goes "AND ANOTHER THING ABOUT THAL'S BALLS,"

I do not follow sports but like many people I have some basic knowledge from just like, cultural osmosis, so imagine my surprise when the news last night said the baseball game was in its 17th inning. the whatnow

Halloween maps tonight - everyone's costumes!!

So something I take great pride in but do not often display are my housing builds. But Housing in FFXIV is a special interest of mine. (Along with Ex fights.) So: To begin with: some photos of the Visionary Celestial Library, a FC owned and run by @ethryaswiftstep.bsky.social.

Let's fucking goooooo

It is not too late to leave a life that doesn't fit you, and no matter what life throws your way, you will not regret embracing the chance to live for yourself

I feel like being from Limsa is kind of like being from Philadelphia. do any of you know what I'm talking about

✨ PILGRIM'S TRAVERSE ✨ Deep dungeon explorers, our time comes again! #ffxiv

it occurs to me if I draw my irl self shirtless ever I'm gonna have to remember to make my top scar blatantly obvious because I uh. didn't have them put my nipples back on lmaoo

💗

whether you're playing PVP or PVE it is important to remember that stressing out other players does not make them perform better let alone magically aware of what you want when you aren't communicating anything but nonspecific complaints. thanks

can anyone who is more of an ffxiv pvp head than me explain like, what it means when someone on your own team starts spamming "hello"/"thank you" and marks you as target to bind and/or target to attack? I was on a job I'm trying to learn for CC and it felt like someone wasn't happy with me

It was @catmonkshiro.bsky.social's turn to host the map night so he picked a "bad glam" theme and, well. people leaned in!

in your darkest hour， in the blackest night ... think of me ... and i will be with you. always. for where else could i go? who else could i love but you?

I am over 90% of the way done with my crafters in the Firmament aaaaaaaaAAAAAA

this guy's breakdown of FFXI and XIV, though i haven't finished watching, is very pragmatic, thorough, and stellar youtu.be/g37qehm4xRo?...

So @vinalo.bsky.social shows me a screenshot from FFIV of Kokkol's Forge. Kokkol Dankkol is the lalafellin Sharlayan engineer in Endwalker. Final Fantasy is a flat circle.

playing CC and seeing someone on the opposite team with season 1 Crystal tier portrait elements like oh. well. I Shall Perish

Ethrya prefers a straight cane with inlaid design for white magic but is attentive to the state of the focus regularly when it is used. Their nouliths are among the smaller types available, not as likely to take damage but tending to need repairs when it does happen, and they notice fast.

anyway i think ffxiv is neat despite all the criticism going on.

all this time I was too nervous to try Crystalline Conflict but it's actually really fun. should I try ranked...

Thank you everyone once again for coming!! So glad to be hosting the 5th annual lalafell art party and hope y'all had lots of fun ❤️ (I will be posting art later because i'm slow) #LalartParty #CrystalArtParty #ffxiv

very cool period in history to be a visibly queer afab full-time artist with various undertreated health problems. real cool. stop the planet I want to get off

7.3 - I got to do Glare X or whatever that was, hell yeah

somebody ate all the lightning balls in Ramuh so me & another player who got tethered couldn't resolve the mechanic

"YOU SENSE THE PRESENCE OF A POWERFUL MARK" interrupted our partying so we all went to auto attack it to death

YESSSSS

every once in a while I see a subreddit thread about what someone thinks the themes of part of the FFXIV story are and every time I regret it. the level of confidence people have in their minimal media literacy is sometimes kinda terrifying

Oh my god??????

I love taking these kinds of shots though I can never share them until later.

as a trans person one small thing you can do to protect me from jk rowling is not show me every piece of inane violence she spews

mine is blacklisted but I hope he blows up ten thousand materia trying to pentameld every single time

the most important thing you can do for yourself in life might just be finding some other people who feel like they can't people right in almost the exact same way you feel it and then you just all love each other really hard. there is nothing else like found family

The ray minion is fishing 😩 Ethrya is good at fishing but I, the player, am miserably unlucky!!

...you don't have to call me out like that...
