I do think this is what people struggle with. It's not a rousing call to action, but that does not make it politically muddled or centerist or whatever. It's a movie about grieving the failures of your generation, and grieving that your children will have to fight the battles you lost

Quoting myself today because while the OP has deleted their post, someone ELSE had the same “but AI is so helpful for people with ADHD, it helps with executive function” It’s a dopamine factory, Kathryn.

warrior of light: [experiences a mild inconvenience] i'm going to [remembers they're not allowed to joke about suicide anymore] put on the best little ladies' day show ul'dah has ever seen

I think I'd rather play a game the way artists designed it to look

It’s not that I don’t have the character(s), I do- I just have never talked about this aspect of it. I put tieflings in XIV as descendants of pairings between voidsent and source people! The voidsent ancestor determines the unusual traits and the source ancestor determines shape, essentially.

In all canons, Aurelia is a formally trained mage from a privileged background. In XIV, her years of academic study were in Sharlayan with a focus on manipulating the aether within people for temporary shape changes and augments. Her thesis on induced aether starvation revolutionized healing theory.

Everything Burns! #FF14 #FFXIV

Just had the most frustrating Bakushin run of my LIFE great stats, great sparks, S in Mile, good mix of skills, great mood SECOND PLACE FOR FIVE G1s IN A ROW

if you see people trying to sell their fanfest ticket reminder that these are nontransferable!! don't give them your money

Idyllshire, although I guess it's too close to Ishgard, but the WoL is canonically involved in its development into a human+goblin settlement! AZYS LLA. I wanna live on AZYS LLA so bad. so bad! Lochs/Peaks (I enjoyed the doman enclave a lot!) The Derelicts, I'd love to build that up.

Sinners deserves Best Cinematographer simply for the fact that it's a modern movie where you can tell what's going on during all the night scenes

Alphinaud's turn today! The art of trying to pose sage without making them look evil is hard to me lmao I've only got 4 more scions to do until I've finished the set! #ffxiv #ffxivart #elezen #scions

I need all these housing items available in the game *before 8.0* and I am not joking yoshi p

Sad to see the Ides of March becoming commercialised like this. I really feel like we're losing track of the true spirit of the holiday. It's not about how many knives you can stick in a tyrant all at once, it's about the whole community coming together to stab the tyrant as many times as possible.

look how cute she was tho

There are a lot of “Alisaie recklessly charges the boss,” moments that might be misinterpreted as a noble sacrifice but I am here to tell you that in the moment I am 100% certain she genuinely thought she could stab Emet-Selch.

Played a human (*) bard (*) in a dnd one shot tonight an NPC asked what useful things we could do. I summoned a pact weapon, revealing a warlock level at the end of the session, NPC was extremely beat up from a fight and my character revealed their glowy rainbow stripes + 1/day max heal aura.

Palia had great balancing of the canon Nai’o/Kenyatta relationship with player agency The player being able to flirt with them and eventually get options of -player breaks up and leave them together -player dates one, they break up -player dates one, they stay together -player dates both PEAK

baffles me how people go into nsfw artist's post to complain about the fetish that don't appeal to them. it's like entering the freak store, and getting mad about freak being sold there.

I know it’s difficult right now, but I insist that you seek and enjoy beautiful things, even if it seems frivolous or irresponsible in the face of overwhelming horror. I want you to feed yourself artistically, spiritually, and literally, because you can’t Do The Work when you’re starving.

butt posting (This is a test post i'll delete in a bit, maybe)

xiv is awesome because its the only game where i can desire both a medieval castle town and a modern city with asphalt and sky scrapers and both be realistic expectations

Forming an identity around things you don’t like instead of things you like or want is not a good idea. This sounds self-evident but I’ve been seeing this cycle happen across social media for probably 20 years. It’s hostile to life. It’s poison for the writer and the reader.

lol any way 💅

Don’t you think #FFXIV battle markers look kinda like cute tile patterns?

Evara's ward is crazy. This is personal only housing. Every Medium but Evara's is available. Every small is available. Only the Larges are taken.

man I love putting Dya in princess fits

Even putting aside my ethical concerns, I’d rather have untreated ADHD that makes my life a thousand percent more difficult than hand my obsessive, addictive, hyperfixative personality over to the instant-gratification all-dopamine no rails of the AI psychosis machine

Reminder that "degenerate" was a term coined by Nazis to describe art they didn't like and labeled problematic. Unless you have proof of real world harm, leave people alone and let them draw fucknasty shit. You have block and mute features. Stop making your disgust everyone else's problem.

Folks doing that fuckass found-family-as-nuclear-family thing getting on shippers' backs like "nooooo, character A can't fuck character B because B is A's Honorary Mom™" as though that makes it LESS hot.

Shouldn't even need to be said...

im gonna be real with you kitten, mommys got three vuln stacks rn

commissioned lark's outfit from the dnd campaign my beloved @ink.whiskystudios.net runs I'm so pleased with this comm and *I* am the one who put this watermark on it don't come for the artist about it lmao

haven't had much gposing energy lately so I return to my roots lazy nudes of my gorgeous, gorgeous girl

im just really fucking sick of spending my entire adult life lurching from one worldwide economic disaster to another all because people pretend republicans arent dumb as dog shit morons completely detached from reality

Hello final fantasy xiv online community. You are not going to send in pictures of your modded wols thinking you can get away with it. You will not do this thing.

pokemon in my ffxiv? more likely than you think

QRTs: they saw [game] housing and got shook Me, a real Live Letter Watcher: they talked about implementing stuff from popular mods and plugins during the late 6.x live letters. BDTH is THE housing plugin. they first brought up interior size selection in early 7.0 live letters
