That she's sweet and innocent. Nah, this bitch will fuck you up. Absolute fighter. I'm proud and more than a bit jealous.

Time for the annual proof that I'm a middle aged femme in the American South and not the cosmopolitan 20something I seem to be.

As of today, I have played this game for seven years. Through job changes, going back to school, quarantine, having a child, going into my dream field of work, finding it to be a nightmare. I have made so many changes and so many friends, and I wouldn’t trade any of it.

found a new image to burn into my personal philosophy

ShB>HW>SB>ARR>DT>EW EW is not low for story, is low for personal circumstances at the time of release. If we factor that out we get: ShB>HW>EW>SB>ARR>DT

if i were musically inclined i would write a "we didn't start the fire" style song but with all the ffxiv controversies including but not limited to ungarmax, the rauban line, EW login queues, TOP 9th man UAV mod, the billboard, AM, ACT, FRU dot, DDoS attacks, Mare, and boyfriend limit cut

I flip between Dungeon Lady (because of the rarity of the title and the good memories getting it) and The Shot Heard Across Worlds because, well, Flerpy Shot.

4.5! Shadowbringers came out a month after I finished MSQ the first time.

Due to the occasionally spinny nature of bard combat, Flerpy loves wearing the fluffiest skirts possible into battle. They are weighted with buckshot so smaller creatures in melee range should be careful.

There’s a few Aiming hats I’m looking forward to putting on other classes, and the Healer crafted top from 5.4 is going in the rotation too because it looks like something I wear IRL.

For the love of Halone, please save your Christmas glams for December.

Flerpy wanted to be an adventurer! She actually ran away to Gridania to escape the expectations of being a proper lady.

The team is relaxing a long-held policy of certain types of gear glamour only being equip-able by certain roles. "Use any gear in your glamour, irrespective of class, job or level restriction." However, weapons/tools are exempt due to animations.

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

For those still unsure, I swatched the #shuuemura #FFXIV Kupo! Crystal Palette this morning. Swatched on my arm using Hourglass Veil primer. (yes, one of the shades matches my freckle)

Fuuuu I don’t wanna swatch it! But I will.

- Skirt - Glasses - Doc Martens/Rebel Boots wait I just described myself also

Unboxed!

Waiting for my shu uemura order like

So, being a Lalafell, Flerpy isn’t seen as conventionally attractive by most of Eorzea. Most people see her as cute rather than beautiful. Her husband thinks she’s the most beautiful woman in existence.

FYI the Shu Uemura lipsticks are now sold out :( If you want just a lil something I recommend the eyelash curler!

Dang, my Shu Uemura order already shipped.

Only took me almost seven years of playing this game to get the battle classes page like this

Patches on my bag, keyrings … the Meteor/BRD symbol on my car is the biggest one. Pins, too, when the mood strikes. And lots of adjacent t-shirts. And since I work remote sometimes I’m just honest about my weekend plans being maps with my FC.

I’m sorry I’ve been so quiet lately. I’m currently seeking a new job - if you know anyone in need of cybersecurity staff hiring remotely, let me know!

I'm going to put aside the weird feeling of seeing a saint born after I was, but since we know the guy was big on halo 2 there are now people who in 2004-2005 got fragged by a saint on xbox live

POWERLINE got to illustrate the card of my dreams nbd

Okay but what if Silksong had been a total surprise drop?

I had the Yan mount drop yesterday. It was insane- we got all treasure chests on the slots and had to grab as many loot sacks as we could before time ran out. We got 100, and there was the Yan. I won the roll. I will probably never see that again.

Dang, with Fanfest I feel like SE is telling me I need to visit my friends. Y’all know who y’all are. Might see y’all in a few months but gotta discuss with Mr. Shot first!

Did San d’Oria last night for the first time! Got a needed pants drop and was able to upgrade my top. The pieces look pretty cute together. Glam piccies soon!

OH GOD THE DRAMA Now that I have your attention, I feel it is important for everyone to remember this relevant advice: DO NOT RUN RANDOM SHIT OFF GITHUB JUST BECAUSE SOMEONE SAYS IT DOES SOMETHING COOL YOU WANT IT TO DO. It ends badly. I’ve seen it. Love, your resident Lala with a Sec+.

Chocobo float time! #FFXIV #lalafell

Worked overtime this weekend. Got a new keeb to show for it. RIP the K70 that kept me going for 12 years. But it was time.

I should really update my EC to reflect that I’ve been on Ultros again for a year and a half.

At the age of 21, Tataru Taru is a Lalafell who knows the value of coin. However she's also a budding songstress and is known to sing to herself as she counts coin.

Thinking about streaming again as I sometimes do … while it would be great, between work stress and kiddo and my setup being in my bedroom, there’s just not room for it in my life right now. It hurts my heart that I can’t do as much as I used to in the #FFXIV community.

Weebing out on my day off - this is my bargain of the day, Maki Murakami’s attempt to be more than a yaoi artist. Paid half of what it is going for on Amazon!

debugging code before going to an anime convention today

Oh glob, I just pulled a “back in my day Japanese wasn’t supported by default in Windows” at work.

Me: why do I have to work? Also me:
