The thing about tanking anxiety in XIV is that the game has simplified tanking to a degree where most tanks are actually just going "im da king of da highway" through the whole dungeon without pressing buttons, and you likely won't realize it unless you've played for like 7,000 hours. So dw about it

"... Some days it is almost unbearable to keep the offending tissue flat. I do not want to do it, but--" "A cover should have little bearing on the contents of a story, Fray. Just because yours stick out more doesn't mean I don't see you as who you are." Day 9 - Getting Dressed #fluffvember2025

It's the year of terrible, awful choices. To nobody's surprise, I continue to be a master of the craft.

Not reminding anyone for any particular reason, but I play a LOT of NPCs. Your chances of me (or @sidurgu-orl.bsky.social because they have as many/more) being in your roulette but you don't see Fray are slim, but never zero.

I don't think it could be more obvious that he's into you, Sol9!Sid... #DRKafterdark #Sol9DRK

We never forgot that you carried the heavy burden of containing the light, but oh, to see you at peace a few moments in the sun... @sidurgu-orl.bsky.social Day 3 - Sunlight #fluffvember2025

people disliking the glamour updates is so funny "but my class identities" well my class identity is being the best dressed bitch in duty finder

Also Shout Out To the NPC Alts That Had To Make Do Because Canon Outfit Was A Mix Of Types Of Gear

If anyone needs glam/centaur grandpa, we're heading into Eden's Verse savage again on primal.

Ishgard bad because they don't let you fuck dragons.

— possessive. ( all eyes on me. ) #gposers ( starring: @fray-myste.bsky.social ! (and by technicality, @sidurgu-orl.bsky.social,) )

When everything about you was built on your faith, can you blame my arse for losing my shite?

I once asked Sidurgu how he manages to keep his hands off me if he truly wanted anything to do with me. I have added to my pile of regrets in knowing now. with @sidurgu-orl.bsky.social #shitebirding #DRKafterdark

Going into Eden Savage if anyone needs anything from it. Just join the party finder under Usynrael on Primal.

Firing off a rent lowering shot. The common thread between all of the Frays that I write is that he is reckless and *would* no matter what form Sidurgu takes, even if it's a feral soul form of an Arcadion fighter. CW: monsterfucking , non-human genitalia #Sol9DRK #DRKafterdark

I would burn the world down for Sidurgu and I have an inkling that he would do the same for me. ... I hope he starts with Ishgard.

Aye, probably wishing that I would be silent from time to time, too. Borrowed @sidurgu-orl.bsky.social 's Sidurgu. #shitebirding #DRKafterdark

Fray is not the only shitebird. #DRKafterdark #shitebirding

Fray isn't too happy about being the only unrecognizable one. This means he's the one making lunch, coffee, and grocery runs. Best not to engage him after an 'errand' as he'll be snippy about it and quickly retreat back to his tinkering to distract from feeling like he doesn't belong. #Sol9DRK

Some things just persist through shards. #shitebirding #Sol9DRK with @sidurgu-orl.bsky.social

PSA (because apparently this is, yet again, coming up as a problem): Two DNC *can* dance partner each other. You WILL get two buffs of Standard Finish and they DO stack. However, if two DNC partner a single non-DNC DPS, it will NOT stack on them. This guy? Wrong. S'too damn early for this.

That swiving au ra is going to be the death of me. ... I have eyes and that outfit is meant to attract them, I swear to the Fury.

Fray quickly saved an image to his tomestone. For no reason in particular. [[ @sidurgu-orl.bsky.social , you will kill this poor shitebird.]]

You can't just sneak up on a guy like that. Especially when he's singing poorly to one of your songs. @sidurgu-orl.bsky.social #shitebirding #Sol9DRK

Spare Ishgard the bloodshed. Just give him back Sidurgu's body. @sidurgu-orl.bsky.social #obscuritasAU

I have never been so thankful to see eyebrows on someone.

Fray's being a coward in rouls.

Don't worry about it.

[[It's not really DRK-related, but please, oh my god, please... don't join one of the Discord servers I run with a pornographic Discord icon. My son often comes into the room and I don't want to have to explain to him what the hell is going on in that. I seriously have to question who does that.]]

[[In a meme sort of mood tonight, I think.]] With @sidurgu-orl.bsky.social #shitebirding

[[So there's this Sol 9 shard AU that @sidurgu-orl.bsky.social and I have been splashing around in a bit. There are a few physical differences, but the main ones are more jarring. Like Fray being a mechanic and Sid being an idol of sorts. It's fun.]] #Sol9DRK

I like to think I'm hilarious.

Guy who spent a good portion of last night muttering all sorts of swears under their breath re: trying to pose size different couples already back in the mines. Somewhat a follow-up. Trying to subvert expectations as per usual. I think with aetherstrap that it's such a new sensation that Fray

I will never understand the appeal of being one lipslip away from a clam hook.

I finally caught my boy.

I would say it is quiet hours... but that would imply that I have shut my shitehole for any length of time when not asleep. with @sidurgu-orl.bsky.social

I just think they're neat. with @sidurgu-orl.bsky.social 's Hythlodaeus.

Temp plate and stuff until we can grab the Ixion achievement for the framer kits. For the Lyse enjoyers.

#DRKafterdark -ish?

Sidurgu was always the first of the two to get up in the mornings.

Nothing unusual going on here, why do you ask?

Escalation went poorly. Going to tag as #DRKafterdark because I know what it looks like, even if that's *not* what's happening here. @sidurgu-orl.bsky.social

I've been struggling with writing Fray lately. Made a joke tonight about how I'd try to poke the Fray muse in the ass to get him going again. #shitebirding

Something something role reversal. #CrabBoilAP with @sidurgu-orl.bsky.social 's Living Shadow

Boosting this so people see the correct date. #CrabBoilAP

We are not sorry. We will do it again. With: @fray-myste.bsky.social @elanortrevelyan.bsky.social @twelvewonders.bsky.social and @sidurgu-orl.bsky.social
