EU is going well tonight

emetgaius

i will never be normal about the legatii, this is my curse

got accused of "not getting it" and it "not being for me".

square enix i have a suggestion for how we can increase endgame engagement and participation

it is 2025 i should not be in an MA level workshop and having to explain to someone they probably should not be inventing ridiculous sounding slurs for the setting just for the sake of it

Grandma Vendov was very fond of "little sunny bunny"/"little sour bunny" in Bozjan for Natan depending on how he was acting as a toddler.

40k is a deeply unserious setting (archon plays with a colony like it’s a game of Stellaris , then gets bored)

deeply charmed by Alisaie watching Ryne for all of shadowbringers and going “so glad I have small normal daddy issues and not this shitshow” only to get home and immediately get disowned lol

This era of bluesky is perfect for making new mutuals, and growing alongside your peers in a collectively unfamiliar environment. It cannot be overstated how much just supporting your peers matters at a time like this.

that tudor practice of plucking/shaving the hairline to make the forehead look bigger as a beauty standard feels very ishgard.

i need queer writers to understand if they r writing a setting that is intended to have similar cultural biases to ours then they have to actually do the reading into the kind of social commentary they're trying to do otherwise they just inevitably end up reinventing bigotry

anyway SURELY we have burnt thru all of the possible Obvious Collabs to use for trials and alliance raids by now? for all it's faults, MoTR did try to build the setting up a bit more instead of just key jangling for the people in the room that get the references.

w/ mexican wrestling culture being Big and then raids usually focusing on something the MSQ didn't cover or revisiting something not in the focus (Goblins in Hinterlands, What Happened To Omega?, Can the First be fixed? and Lahabrea' backstory), genuinely very surprised Arcadion was not set in Tural

accessing my uni emails is a pain in the ass now because the only way to get to the inbox is via the copilot page which takes like a whole minute to load in my tablet browser, almost crashes and it drives me insane. literal enshittification. used to just let me go direct to login/inbox.

endgame raiding is all fun and games until you need a DPS to do like more than one thing at a time.

Playing xiv? I'll show you something interesting. The two types of expansions are Heavensward and Dawntrail. ARR? Dawntrail. Shadowbringers? Heavensward. Endwalker? Heavensward. Despite being good, Stormblood is Dawntrail.

I joke. Florus did somehow end up a DRG during HW (he was forced to live in the drg barracks for like a month because Alphinaud convinced him it was safer for him). Angrboda also influenced him via Natan aetherically and thus. Boy can jump. Boy can jump Good.

I cannot play my own wol, he's a reaper, I'm not playing that shit, I'll end up the main character of a TFDF post

I need to go back and finish Bozja. Yes I like the puppet man

that bit in shb where urianger gets mad at thancred and tells ryne he used to be a whore

This tier is testing me. I need you to do like three things correctly babes

Seeing the shit our RDM is doing and yeah I am glad I am not in caster gaol again

wol and ryne shadowbringers 2019

Remembered the first time I made FFXIV fan art and I think for some reason Asahi apparently riled me up so bad I felt compelled to draw this

They better give AST and SCH gap closers next expac

Everyone get gayer and transer now

❓

Natan's dynamic with him unfortunately is rooted heavily in a place of "we lost someone very important to us but I am being very upfront about how I do not like the way you are poorly handling that grief but also I refuse to help you because of my own grief". Delicious.

I think Natan has to be the one crashing out at/slapping Thancred in HW given Florus is Garlean and in an incredibly precarious situation so is acutely aware of how it would look.

me and the mutuals

It is nearly 3am I cannot be getting mad about writing at 3am

oh it's going to be a Recession recession

like idk why r gay men and lesbians constantly expected to bend over backwards to accomodate and include people in this fandom who find the thought of us uncomfortable, "triggering" and "painful" and only want our art if they can project themselves onto it.

ffxiv fandom will never get rid of the rancid heart of homophobia beating at it's core i fear.

if i found the mere idea of depicting an M/M couple in fiction so triggering because the relationship did not include women or some readers might not view the characters as bi, i would simply keep that take to myself

[7.2 spoilers] second of her name #ffxiv

i think more ancients related stuff should be written in the style of ballads or epic poetry actually.

Concept: Lyna in a really pretty Ralph Lauren dress I saw while out shopping anyways concept no longer I painted her in it :) - 📖 #sirisketchbook #ffxiv
