(at the risk of cancelling myself i must make a confession: i believe that all the playable races in 14 are equally valid and beautiful/adorable in their own unique ways. **but** that being said, i am…chronically weak to just how adorable femra’s are, in particular.)

[“H-haah…u-ungh…”] [“H-hey now, d-don’t just stand there gawking! Mind giving a CB a han-ngh~! ❤️”]

(just can’t catch a break tonight. breaker for my folk’s office keeps tripping, but due to how this place was built, it also means the breaker for my bedroom’s outlets and our stairway light switches keep tripping.)

(last night it hurt to hold and use a fork to eat food.) (i see that today my body has chosen a different form of violence)

(The words i’d share for the folks responsible for all these ddos attacks would be, to put it lightly, “not terribly kind.”)

(really wild to me that they’re still DDoSing this game (or rather, the ISP’s?) login queue was over 100 this morning, lag spikes are still horrible on console, and i keep getting 9002’d on PC.)

[“it’s behind me, isn’t it?”]

(idk what kind of nutritional imbalance/deficiency i got going on rn, but i’ve been a total slut for pickled gherkins the last three days.)

(i feel its important to point out that, while i really only ever use one hair style for my Au Ra, she looks way too hecking cute regardless of what hair style she has.)

I'm seeing a lot of posts to call your reps but little on actually how. 5calls.org is a great site where you can put in your zip code and get numbers for your house representative and two senators. You also can get a script if you're like me and stumble over your thoughts.

(as someone who doesn’t really eat meat (its complicated) it really do be amazing how many chicken places just flat out have the best fucking fries.)

(oh btw, in case you need another reason to hate Crypto: saw on the news last night that scammers are tricking elderly folk into wiring them tens of thousands of dollars through Bitcoin ATM’s, by pretending to be their bank.)

(new year got off to a bit of a rough start: the bed i’ve had for several years finally gave up the ghost, and as such i had to spend the night last night sleeping on a mattress on the floor 😭)

(good morning! today’s new year’s eve, and i hope that, regardless of how you choose to celebrate (or not celebrate) New Years, that tonight proves to be a joyous, cozy, and happy night for you. I pray that all of us are given good reason to welcome 2026 with a smile.)

A massive Lego spaceship build. Impressive details. #lego #spaceship #hobby

sobbing and crying and

(late night cravings got me thinking about pickles (pickled gherkins for all y’all living across the pond/in the EU). might see if we have any before tucking in for the night…)

(wishing all of you a good morning, or what time happens to be most applicable to where and when you currently find yourself. I hope your day goes well, and that you are given many a reason to laugh and smile.)

[“What’s wrong, Darling? my eyes are up here, you know.”] [“if we don’t hurry up we’ll be late to the festivities, and you wouldn’t want to miss out on receiving your gift now, would you? mhmhm~ ❤️”]

(idk why, but the way Y’shtola uses the word “Ascian” feels vaguely derogatory, given what we know about the Ancients post EW.)

very cautiously puts this down #minnowmodding #xivmods #xivmodding

(we’re nearing the end of 2025, and a friend of mine just told me that they saw someone advertising an event in-game with a link to a sync-shell. in the in game chat.)

(so, my PC fucked me over just now by randomly deleting several files in my ffxiv install folder.)

(god i hate heart burn/acid reflux.)

(god the changes to Pots in CE make it next to impossible to do certain CE’s—Calamity Unbound specifically— if a pot fate is going to spawn soon. like, you’ll have an instance of 70 players and only 12 players will show up to the CE.)

(bit random, but while it should go without saying that the CB wasn’t always the CB, and that she wasn’t always an Au Ra, her initial Au Ra design wasn’t quite what she is today. 1/3)

[Later that very Same Starlight…] [“‘twas the night before Starlight, and all through the house, while her Master was Sleeping, the CB did—“]

[Happy Holidays, from the Cuddle Bringer to you.] [be you naughty or nice, may hap you’ll receive a Curiously Cuddly Visit tonight?] [[this is, what we call, Foreshadowing.]]

(slowly reclaiming space. trying to not get overwhelmed as i go through all the clutter and set aside what to keep, what to toss/sell, etc. the task is all that much more daunting given that i’ve lived here my whole life, and as such have quite a lot of stuff to go through ^^; )

[Though the Cuddle Bringer may be part Voidsent, Succubus to be specific, not all encounters need result in her draining someone of their aether. in fact in many cases she’ll often accept a more conventional alternative: a home cooked meal.]

(i always feel bad about being so terrible at remembering and recognizing names. like, i’ll see someone i follow mention some VA is voicing a character, and i’ll be like “who is that?” and then i’ll look up the name and go “oh.” and then an hour later i’ll forget again.)

(you find the craziest things while decluttering to prep for a move.)

(so, with the thing back up i decided to record something special. managed to get it working just before everything broke. gonna call it a day and get back to the OC grind, i think.)

[“Stop right there, Criminal (S)cum! your life of crime ends here!”] [“W-woah! H-hey Officer, I didn’ do nothin’!”] [“You have the right to remain Silent! anything you say *can* and *will* be ‘held’ against you!”] [“…u-uh…B-breasts?”] [“mhmhm~ 🩷”]

(officially the CB is 58.8 inches tall, or 4’9”, or 149.352 cm tall for all y’all metric folk. 🧵)

(y’know, it might just be my rng, but the drop rates on these new occult accessories are kinda wack. so far i’ve gotten 2 copies of the standard caster ring, one deep DoW ring, and one deep caster ring, and have seen none of the other accessories. lmao)

(important reminder this Saturday that there’s nothing wrong with taking time to let your emotional, mental, and physical batteries recharge. especially when life has you feeling overwhelmed and overstimulated.)

(without spoiling things: i like the raid fights, the story for the raid fights is kind of eh. the music is amazing.)

(a good while back there was a reptile rescue and rehabilitation group that visited our local senior center. my mother took me to see it, and one of the things that really stuck with me was just how cuddly all the reptiles were.)

(not to sound like a degenerate, but, i could really go for a fresh, warm, sticky, frosted cinnamon bun.)

(if there is one thing i can say about Lv1, it is that, much like untextured boulder and every other post patch bug, it does not take much to keep the player community amused, and we are more than capable of finding ways to entertain ourselves.)

(me, for no discernible reason: “they call my chocobo ‘Mayo’, because Mayo Kweh’s”)

there is a sense of pride and satisfaction that comes from making something with your own hands. be it digital or physical, visual arts, musical, literary, or other forms of creative expression. what you make becomes so much more than an object: it comes a story, an extension of who you are.

(i feel that a lot of hate is born from a combination of ignorance, complacency, and an inability or unwillingness to reflect or acknowledge ones own mistakes/failings. 1/?)

(is it just me, or is it really difficult to queue up for anything in ffxiv right now? i keep getting this one error) :

(before i turn in for the night, a reminder: with tomorrow being patch day, its once again important to be mindful of spoilers. lotta folks will be coming back for the new content, some of whom will need to get caught up on some of the older stuff. 🧵)

Winter Song Part 1 (Thread 1/3)

One way that the reaction to Rob Reiner's murder mirrors Charlie Kirk's is that the best way to eulogize each of them is to quote their words, and in both cases, doing so pisses off conservatives.

[“hey, isn’t that that…?”] [“shhh—!”] [“they say if you speak her name, she’ll visit you during the night and Cuddle you!”] [“…what?”] [“…Cuddle? that…sounds kind of nice…”] [“…huh, your right.”]

(made my first cup of hot coco of the season)
