My Tyrant boots broke while I was literally standing still at the bar 😭😭

PLEASE HELP! Anyone know of any senior software engineering jobs? My spouse was laid off last year & is still struggling to find a job. We're reaching the end of the time we can sustain ourselves & honestly, I'm really getting worried Any leads or freelance work appreciated 🙏

Pegged the Tyrant til he cried

so we're all agreed that we really do have to call it UMAD now, right?

A reminder for this weekend! Please don't hesitate to come say hi and chat, and make sure to stop by the things I'm running to learn things and make a new buddy!

Case of Mistaken Identity #FF6 1/4

🤡

More FFVI tonight and I'm getting heated lmao

Hi there! With #EUfanfest #ffxivFanfest around the corner, I wanted to advertise that I'm still very much open for sticker commissions!!! We had the chance to to so many amazing pieces for folks, as well as a pair of matching companion stickers!! I can't wait to do more!! #commissionsOpen

The mere possibility that we might get an expansion for FFXI as we approach its 25th anniversary made my entire week tbh.

The next window for Ealad Skaan opens at 6:58PM EDT (UTC-4) today! While you check to make sure you have your Tome of Ichthyological Folklore - Norvrandt and a stack of Baitbugs, give my new Big Fish Parody a listen to hype yourselves up!

Every hope they harbor, mine to obtain The Tyrant ⚔️👑 #FFXIV #Tyrant #cosplay #FF14 @en.finalfantasyxiv.com 📸 muze

If you're wondering: yeah tracking really is like that lol (plus another laptop off to the side with production updates). We have fun!

Turns out going to the gym does actually make you feel better who would have thought

Anyways I'll do Tyrant posting later to feel better

God I fucking hate what genAI has done to my morale at work. I'm so burnt out and just want to go live in the countryside for a few months.

Volume up stick shift back roads night drive kinda vibe always the best end to my weekend

An excellent night spent with family

Guess what's finally out of my drafts folder: it's my article on Azem! I've been speculating on their relevance for years and the theories have remained consistent, so here's where I'm at with the end of 7.5. www.einherjar-unbound.com/articles/aze... #FFXIV #Lore

🕯 🕯 🕯 🕯 🕯 🕯 new expansion 🕯 🕯 🕯 🕯 🕯 🕯

Is there interest in having this compiled to a proper build log on my portfolio site?

Curious about 7.5 reveals and how much we already know about Evercold? It's more than you think! Also: I get to talk about my own culture's influence on XIV! I'm so stoked so please tune in!

Don't forget we have a MogTalk tomorrow with @emunarum.bsky.social @anonymoosexiv.bsky.social & @jettskylar.bsky.social ! We will be discussing story and lore for 7.5 and Evercold! 2pm PDT / 5pm EDT

If I can stay motivated then I'll be done with my Azem draft tomorrow and then be able to post it in the next few days

😭😭 it was genuinely such an honor and so much fun to make this happen! You absolutely killed it on stage as usual friend! Thank you for letting me be a small part of it

I've been busy with more lore books. Lots of writing and analysis coming your way soon, some starting this weekend 👀 📸 klowephotography Horns/Tail: @turtlesmithy.bsky.social Wig: vickiebane #FFXIV #cosplay #Aeneas

Something about learning Locke's past made become evil for ten minutes. I'm the clown in my static's circus as they watch me experience this for the first time.

LOCKE?!

When I tell yall I take my lore accuracy so seriously: I truly spent hours tracking down a throwaway line from a live letter over 4 years ago to properly cite my sources. I might speculate on things but it's always ALWAYS evidence based.

In the past month l've been told that my type is: - puppydog raiders - men who look like they smell like cigarette smoke - people who listen to ABBA in the gym - a bundle of green flags that's just a little too straight ... I'm being read for filth

Here's where I'll be at Momocon next week! I'm hosting a FFXIV meetup Friday and running an embroidery panel Saturday, but otherwise I'll be super chill this time around 💞

Hello I am catching up on all my messages today! Apologies for delays; I'm extremely busy for the next two months and it's definitely impacting my ability to be present online.

My beautiful son Gau

Okay spoiler embargo is up, I'm devastated that there was no Nag'molada in the alliance raids. Square betrayed me!!

Will year 3.0 be our fin-ale or will the scales tip in our planning favor? Our existence doesn't affect the trout population, but the guides and trains produced by @fisherfruity.bsky.social sure do as he returns to get everyone hooked on the wide world of FSHing content!

More detail shots of Aeneas that make me go a little feral at my own craftmanship. 📸 klowephotography Horns/Tail: @turtlesmithy.bsky.social Wig: vickiebane #FFXIV #Aeneas #cosplay

You don't hate AI enough.

I'm finally working on my lore essay drafts again, starting with my Azem piece. Given the nature of Evercold and 7.5 I'm curious: what are some things YOU want to know more about?

Man if you drive like an idiot I'm going to assume you are one. The amount of bullshit I've dealt with on the way to get my machines serviced this morning...

Aeneas is ready for the new ultimate!

Rip to one of my DragonCon cosplays; I'm gonna be overhauling my PC build instead due to hardware failure

In light of recent events #FFXIV #FF14

@guavi.bsky.social and I make a pretty striking duo. The height difference is so accurate. 😂 #ffxiv #ff14 #sugarriot #dancinggreen @en.finalfantasyxiv.com DG’s outfit by @juicecoser.bsky.social DG ears/wig by @malindachan.bsky.social / @turtlesmithy.bsky.social Necklace acc @dangerousladies.ca

My surgery site is finally scarred over so I can hit the gym again!!! Technically I could have gone back a few weeks ago but TMI warning here: it's incredibly uncomfortable to sweat off healing layers of skin. I was not dealing with that.
