One thing I wish people who spend all day reading about politics understood better is that your ability to change things on your own is quite small, but your ability to feel bad about things is effectively bottomless and you need to control it

I'm getting three of these, they're gonna be SO GOOD! If you're going to GATEway FATE, you should grab some of your WoL too! (Also if you're going to be there, you can keep an eye out for these to find me and say hello at some point!)

The Suikoden games really were some of the best JRPGs of all time. (Weird how the series went 1 2 3 5 and skipped 4, funny how that works) The opening animation for Suikoden 3 still gives me chills every time I watch it, it's so GOOD. youtu.be/RINHCpYzQK0?...

Telling your OC lore out loud to friends is so funny because it looks cool and poignant in your head and then actively telling it makes you feel like a 3 year old holding an etch a sketch

Tonight's pondering: Lily's original major arcana connection is Temperance from before she made her way to Eorzea, but I really wonder if that's still the right choice given Everything that's happened since...

Interest check! forms.gle/7TpTgdCaGWnB... These fans would be available for pickup at GATEway FATE in October. Due to the size of these items shipping is currently unavailable. Please respond to the above form link. I would love to make a custom fan to help keep you cool at the con! #XIVmerch

These 8 Democrats voted to pass a national ban on trans teachers and mention of LGBTQ topics. Rep Henry Cuellar (TX) Rep. Don Davis (NC) Rep. Cleo Fields (LA) Rep. Laura Gillen (NY) Rep. Vicente González (TX) Rep. Marcy Kaptur (OH) Rep. Marie Gluesenkamp Perez (WA) Rep. Eugene Vindman (VA)

Cross between "positive protagonist with a dark past" and "13 year old with the power to destroy continents" but it's iffy. Honestly at some point I should write (too many) words about Lily's relationship with being A WoL as it relates to her pre-Eorzea journey

to create is to love

Hey so if you're in the USA, the FCC is floating the idea of making shows put a warning up if they include or discuss trans people and trans lives. A short paragraph saying this is messed up would help a lot! You gpt less than a week. Submit your comment by May 22: www.fcc.gov/ecfs/filings...

I absolutely love how this came out, Denny *nailed* lalafell proportions perfectly! Lily looks right at home in Solution 9, doesn't she?

Sunday scaries are the worst 😩 Here's some old (2022!) art of Lily doing a silly little dance to improve everyone's evenings! Credit: @lumeiru.bsky.social

I saw this on Facebook (there was no creator credit) so now you have to as well. It hurtsses us.

Tank: DRK (picked it up as a direct reaction to the end of ARR/start of HW, as a precursor to the Bad Lily development) Healer: SCH (her canonical class throughout) Melee: RPR (Her "voidsent" is a Weird Thing, think of Persephone as a cross between a Persona and an Azem shard watching out for her) 🧵

LRT > This reminds me of how every time I see a local brewery with AI crap on their cans, I'm like, we really need to be shaming these people for this. "But we're a small business and can't hire a staff artist" go take a picture of your dog or a lake and slap it on there. I WANT to see Spot.

By custom lala I mean poseable plushies like these guys. I may be selling these in the future, lmk if you're interested! bsky.app/profile/dono...

Extremely nuanced 7.5 patch thoughts: This new green lizard lady likes butterflies too so she seems cool, no problems here! 🥰😌🦋💙

Hell yeah

[ffxiv patch 7.5 msq] i finished msq and immediately scribbled this on a random piece of scrap paper on my desk

I always forget just how long it takes to put together a breakfast casserole, but this is gonna slap tomorrow morning! (Cubed up some of my cheesy sourdough, cooked some sausage and onions, grated cheese, and made a fresh spinach/arugula pesto sauce from scratch that I mixed into the egg custard)

Tried a new cocktail tonight that knocked my socks off, the North Cove: 3/4oz Amaretto 3/4oz Lime Juice 1/2oz Grand Marnier 1/2oz Campari (yes, really) Shaken and double strained into a glass. Super yummy, the sweetness of the amaretto and the bitterness of the campari work weirdly well together!

a lalafell is like what if a whole grown up person was just a little creature and i'm like yeah i identify with that

There's nothing better in life than getting a fantastic commission sketch update to start off your day on the right foot. There are so many amazing artists out there!

Behold: cheesy sourdough bread! As a bonus, the design I scored into the dough for the second loaf made @indhii.bsky.social say "God damn it" out loud when he realized what it was. (Image alt text has the answer)

Whole lot of well dressed potatoes in this thread IMO

For the record I was baking sourdough BEFORE covid made it cool, I was one of those people that had to scramble to stock up on flour in the early days because everyone was buying it out! According to my notes my starter dates back to at LEAST 2019.

Sourdough bread in progress tonight, stuffed with cheese! First time baking sourdoughwith cheese added, thanks to enthusiastic campaigning from @indhii.bsky.social

LRP: I am having A Day already so to balance the scales I'm gracing your feeds with one of my favorite Lily/Alisaie pieces of all time, sorry not sorry

It's Lily and her special friend Alisaie! (Art by @bluecaeri.bsky.social who knocks it out of the park every single time)

Details here: https://www.thatprivacyguy.com/blog/chrome-silent-nano-install/ I stress, I looked and this was already gumming up my (obviously resource-constrained) Macbook Neo.

Loving your WoL is having 5 fantasias in your inventory and not even being remotely tempted to use them.

It's a cool and breezy day out, so here's some lovely artwork of Lily enjoying the same weather! Art is by @hungryghost.bsky.social who is really good at cramming butterflies into art of Lily at every possible opportunity.

I know I haven't talked about this much, but if you're a Persona fan who is curious about Lily's narrative arc - read her last name backwards, and hopefully a few things will become quite clear very quickly. (She HATED In From The Cold, losing bodily autonomy is a big no-no)

Lily is min height for lalafell which is apparently 2' 10". She's small and doesn't mind it, she's used to that from how she grew up surrounded by tall people! (This is a thinly veiled reference to the Persona-themed RP that Lily-the-character was picked up from like a Mii and dropped into FFXIV)

Just played The Red Pearls of Borneo by @bushmonkey.bsky.social, fantastic little deduction game that I strongly recommend to anyone who enjoyed Type Help, Roottrees are Dead, Obra Dinn, etc. - I can't believe it's free! Looking forward to the sequel also. store.steampowered.com/app/4488860/...

queue is about to be cleared! good time to nab a comm if you want one!

Today is kind of a funny day at work because it feels like most of the rest of the world has May Day off. Chill Friday ahead!

Sum lalafells 'cause they're fun to draw. #ffxiv #ff14

Clearly Ind’hii is bad at using an Allagan Photography Node

I've always felt like Lily was more of a cocktail person when it comes down to it

@indhii.bsky.social is back from Fanfest which means we're brewery hopping

Prepping for a tasty dinner!
