(it would seem that SQEX handed over the job of managing their copy rights protection for their music to a third party. according to the JP lodestone posting footage with their copyrighted music on X and bluesky may result in consequences.)

(turns out replacing the outlets in the house was a rather time consuming ordeal. made all the worse by the nightmarishly terribly bad job the previous owners did labeling the breaker box/the thing that what does control what parts of the house has power.)

(who ever came up with Chort was either a god damn genius, or had no fucking clue how much of a fucking meme this boss was going to be.)

(last full day of regular classes this semester. next week is finals. had to use more epoxy resin on one project. head hurts, mildly nauseous, and i can’t get the smell of epoxy resin out of my nose. it’s, like, the only thing i can smell rn.)

(most of her magic capabilities are sealed by a brand that was placed on her. that being said, she loves to use this one basic fire spell to help heat up a nice pot of tea in the morning, ow whenever the need arises. also loves weaving simple illusory spells to bring smiles to those in need.)

Guys! GuYs! GUYS!!! It’s done! The ever amazing @lizardxiv.bsky.social made this absolutely freaking adorable scene for my WOL with G’Raha. I do not have the words to express how happy this has made me. Thank you Liz!! ❤️ #ffxiv #WOL #GRaha #FinalFantasyXIV

(first time gluing metal with epoxy resin. those fumes really don’t fuck around, huh?)

(hardest part of the morning will always be getting the will to get out of my cozy bed, where i’m all nice and cozy, and properly confront the day, with all its new and interesting possibilities.)

(before i turn in for the night, i want to wish all y’all a good night, day, morning, really which ever time this post finds you. I hope the start of your week is as joyous and stress free as possible, and that you are given a great many reasons to laugh and smile. know that you are loved, g’night.)

(thinking about the ever so light, delicate touch of someone's fingers gently stroking one's back and stomach, quietly and softly whispering words of affection, and it's sending chills up and down my spine.)

(random thought: the “Date Everything” game, but you forgot that you owned a sex toy of some variety. the sex toy looks at you with some contempt, quietly whispering “I *Know* what you are.”)

(my Au Ra is 4’9”, maybe a bit taller depending on the footwear. being part voidsent though means that she can partially change her form at will. this is mostly limited to making herself larger/thinner, and taller or shorter to best match a given situation.)

(at the risk of sounding overly cliche, it was “Answers”. got real familiar with it playing not only back during the beta testing days, but also playing once the game came out. what really cemented the song was clearing T13 near the end of 2.55 with some friends.)

[“…Ah, I see your awake. I know it’s a bit late and all…”] [“…and I know you have an early day tomorrow…”] [“…but…”] [“…would you not indulge me by permitting to offer some…company…if only for a while.~” ❤️]

(i could really go for some french fries…)

(had this idea/scenario just now where Tataru keeps a board in the back of the Rising Stones. she uses the board to give each of the Scions a Gold Star for accomplishing certain things. the things in question are the most mundane, millenial ass shit imaginable.)

(during a late night discussion while running roulettes, some friends and I came to the conclusion that, of all the Scions, the funniest one to be given a gun in the next expansion would be Tataru.)

(with Mother’s Day just around the corner, i thought i’d wish all y’all a Happy Mother’s Day. be you a current Mother, an expecting Mother, a pet Mom, a Mother-in-Spirit, or any other kind of Mother, thank you, for all that you do.)

(part of me would love to go back and take a trip down memory lane with ffxi, do all the things early teen me was too ADHD brained and internet illiterate to do. But at the same time, i’m in my mid-30’s, i’m already playing and enjoying one mmo, and i do not have the time or spoons for a second.)

(i will admit, i did laugh at that one boss in the new alliance having a bespoke text box for when it made the silly sound for its big ult move.) (the silly sound also made me laugh, to be clear)

(I really want an "/eat taco" emote for ffxiv. Prische looks so god damn adorable when she eats one, and i want my au ra to look adorable eating one, too!)

(i never finished the WotG expansion for ffxi (or really any of the expansions for xi. i beat the shadow lord, then my ADHD brain kinda kept me from completing the other expansions) but what i understand about the expansion, the reason why it happened is because Shantotto chose to fuck off?)

(had a lucid dream this morning that the ghost of one of my cats was climbing up onto my bed to cuddle with me. was super excited, but my dang alarm ruined everything.)

(helped a friend get their final route clear for merchant’s tale during fanfest. decided to do a quick gpose to celebrate. since folks are posting vanilla shots, thought i might share a few.)

(as someone who often listens to ASMR to help calm my nerves and lower my anxiety, it’s really hard to deny the fact that, when it comes to ASMR, there’s a thin, somewhat vague line between it being relaxation and soft core porn.)

(god academic writing is such a colossal pain when you have ADHD and are on the spectrum. there’s like, a thousand things i want to ask my instructor to clarify on this assignment, but she is just *not* helping lmao.)

(keep getting twitch ads from google where they try and shill their AI tools for students to cheat on their assignments. fucking disgusting.)

(i think its kind of interesting that they added 18 new glam items that use ARR mats to make. though technically one could argue its more like 6 glam items, with three variants each.)

(we were introduced to our next project in class today. gonna be working with found objects. ngl, i was not prepared for just how many y’all younger folk keep readily available bone collections for just such occasions! ^^; )

(new optional item reminds me of a discussion i had a little while back with some folks about Llamatyl: even if you don’t like Wuk Lamatt as a character, her ENG VA does such an amazing job pissing off TERFs that it makes Wuk Lamatt an amazing character by proxy.)

(might need to change my morning alarm sound thingy, slept right through it for nearly an hour. ^^; )

on account of doing so much #ffxiv sheep-posting as of late y'all have to know...that there is honest-to-god concept art confirming these little fuckers look like baked potatoes without their fleece. they are just POTATOES!! ON STILTS!!!

(there are a great many individuals out there that, I often find myself wishing, that I could just reach out across the internet to hug and remind them that they are loved and beautiful, and that they matter.)

(learning about Rothko was…interesting. the man was deeply troubled, eventually taking his own life. but his beliefs, what he wanted with art, and what he wanted to do for people, was…in a way, more relevant now than ever. 1/4)

(ugh, acid reflux/heart burn issues to start off the day. not ideal.)

(do i think Koji wilfully chose to use ai? no. do i think the CEO put pressure on him to use it? given how a lot of companies are these days? most likely yes. do i think he used this situation to roast his boss (the CEO) for being an AI freak? yes. did he take things too far? also yes.)

(so…we’re gonna have to have all of our outlets replaced. why? because the ones that are currently in the house we moved into earlier this year were painted over. apparently having painted over outlets is dangerous, as they can more easily short out, causing a fire.)

(had a dream last night that my au ra had a job interview at an au ra cafe. it was basically a cat cafe, but with au ra’s instead of cats. she was very nervous about the interview, but unfortunately i woke up before i could find out if she got the job. :( )

(i can really tell my memory is slipping. my mother asked me to call her phone, so she could find it. instead i called my older sibling, then got confused when they answered. thankfully i realised my mistake, and was able to help my mother find her phone.)

(they’ve done the thing with the meme.)

(clown clown clown clown CLOWN!!!)

(had this interesting dream last night. dreamt that i had to build a house out of paper mache for some vague, nebulous reason (something to do with the cosmic balance or something?). long story short the damn thing burned down four times, killed five people, poisoned the land, 1/2)

(bit unfortunate that new patch will be hitting during the tail end of the semester. things’ll be pretty busy for me, so idk when i’ll be able to fit in time to do the new stuff. it is what is, y’know?)

(more or less finished my current project for one of my classes. probably take a photo next week. only cost me a rather unpleasant burn on my right wrist. forgot i still had the hot glue gun plugged in, rested my wrist on the tip of it while working some material. skin’s kinda bubbled and blistered)

(this thing sheds more than my cats used to)

(been running the StB alliance raids a lot lately in hopes of getting the furniture drops. every time i get Orbone i think of that one meme @halcyonember.bsky.social made a good while ago about Ultima the high seraph.)

(pros of using artificial polyester fur for my current 3D design project: makes my design look more like an imagined creature, without harming real animals. cons: there is now artificial polyester fur fucking **everywhere**.)

(nearing the end of the Spring Semester, man how time flies. this semester has been stressful! but its also been enlightening and, in its own way, a lot of fun!)

(pc did something new and odd earlier today. was in the middle of gposing, had to look something up on firefox, and my whole computer locked up. next thing i know the screen shows this flat, sort of pea green soup/olive green screen, before it reboots and tells me windows encountered an error. 1/2)
