Anyway I will always love Final Fantasy XIV because making a mary sue is entirely the point. You are supposed to make a super self-indulgent character to experience the fantasy epic with. You're supposed to kiss NPCs. And everyone does and everyone celebrates it and it's great.

Most famously, G'raha Tia is head over heals for my WoL, but she has zero interest in him beyond friendship. She was already firmly in a relationship with Aymeric by the time G'raha got back to the source. It caused a strain in their relationship for a long time, but they're finally on good terms.

PLEASE. I illustrate solely in CSP and can work with vectors, it's not an issue, but rasterized art cannot be turned into vector art later! I have to START in vectors! I've only had this issue once and thankfully we caught it before the work was finished, so I didn't have to redo too much.

i want to break free #ffxiv

roses are red big laughs are hearty

Vegan Black Bean Soup! - black beans (2 cans or 1 bag dry) - onion+garlic - tomatoes+chilis - 1 cup sweet corn - stock - taco seasoning For dry beans, soak overnight. Sauté onion and then put everything together in a pot. Cook for an hour on medium low. Mash or blend, serve with bread/sour cream.

Also Harry Potter adults really ought to be ostracised and I mean that with my whole chest because if you can casually support it then that means you’re cool with supporting its creator against trans folks so please go house sort yourself into a bin where you belong.

Natural sciences. Biology, botany, dendrology. Anything that goes in depth into things that grow. After growing up in one of the most barren parts of Thanalan, my WoL turns into a Hobbit upon her first visit to a green area.

Renting is such a shitshow lmao

When I was doing art full time, my spouse had a full time 9-5 job that got us health insurance. I wouldn't have been able to do it otherwise.

Will we be able to suplex it? It's very important that we should be able to suplex it.

Another Halloween where I am too tired and sad to do fun things 💀

Comic artist struggles

Okay he's gonna be a keychain. If I set it up right the design behind him should be translucent.

I love this song

"How do you feel about the coming AI revolution?" I normally enjoy Colbert but he can fuck off for even uttering that sentence. You fucking chud. Don't even entertain the idea that a dying tech being desperately pushed on us by billionaires succumbing to a sunk cost fallacy is a "coming revolution"

friend shared this, immediately updated my settings

Donate to your food banks Check on your low income friends If you see someone stealing food, shut tf up, you didn't see anything

"Sexy [rare and horrifying medical condition that I will not repeat here and was googling out of morbid curiosity]" uhhhhh

Glanced out by back window to see the light doing this beautiful shit.

Man. When you watch shit go down and all you can do is pour a drink and chuckle at the absurdity of it.

Wednesdays are my longest and most difficult work day of the week and I am Tired today, my dudes

Grad school sure was a Choice. (I do not regret going. I just wish I'd been smarter about paying for it.)

PLEASE donate to your local food banks this week. SNAP benefits are in danger of ending amid the gov shutdown! Even if it's just $5. Food banks have connections and can purchase food at wholesale prices, meaning it's WAY more effective to give money instead of food!

Do not engage with or even screenshot gov accounts. No dunks, no burns. Any interaction with them only benefits THEM. Block them and deny their existence on this platform.

BY THE WAY If you've updated to Windows 11 recently, you're probably on version 25H2. There's a new setting in Settings: Privacy & Security. Scroll aaaaaaaalll the way to the bottom and you'll see "Text and Image Generation." TURN IT OFF.

Sam Altman's sister is currently suing him for sexual assault That should be the only response anyone ever gives him any time he opens his mouth about anything

The whole idea that the WoL doesn't call on Feo Ul. There is no "cold, cruel, heartless" sapling in my canon. My WoL calls on Feo Ul often and with love. Feo Ul understands her better than most. They bonded almost immediately and remain extremely close.

A tweet by a friend made me realize what is, to me at least, one of the most frustrating aspects of people outsourcing their ability to think to AI: it prevents any development of frustration tolerance. Not having to think critically for yourself means you never develop this crucial life skill.

We should be asking this c o n s t a n t l y.

Haven't saved in hours.

If you can't come out right now, please don't hate yourself. One day, the meaning of labels will disappear. Please love yourself as you are. The one who can cherish yourself the most is yourself. Because that is your strength and beauty. Chiitan loves you

The consensus seems to be "post dicks" so I will be marking them as NSFW so anyone who has that filter on can avoid them. I'm a smut artist, not a jerk

Hmm. Do I make a separate account for my NSFW art or say "screw it" and post dicks here

I'm pretty sure lead house paint was "here to stay" at one point in time too, and we all saw how that went.

Joined a different group tonight and we saw enrage! I'm so proud

Said "fuck it" and joined a party finder group for the Monster Hunter EX fight. It was fun! I was playing MCH which took some adjustments (I'm a WHM main and getting out of Healer Mode is a Thing) but we got the boss below 50% before we ran out of time. Not bad for a day 1 PF blind prog!

My poor 2007 Honda wouldn't start after work. I hope it's an easy fix. I love that car. Also I am heavily car dependent for work ha ha

I'm here if anyone needs anything

WoL QOD: What is their favorite zone, and why? Elora escapes to Raincatcher Gully often. The rainforest is the antithesis of the desert she grew up in. As a player I'm there a lot because of the music.

Anemones. Her Azem was never seen without a colorful anemone blossom in her hair, so Elora always coveted them. Anemones were thought to bloom from the blood of Adonis when they mixed with the tears of his lover, Aphrodite.

With everything going on I've been having this really specific icky feeling and the best way I can describe it in words is "my soul needs to vomit"

YES! THIS on GenAI! Please read this absolutely splendid piece of writing that had me cheering, a little bit weepy, and writing in the margins: "An extraordinary amount of money is spent by the AI industry to ensure that acquiescence is the only plausible response. But marketing is not destiny."

hey, cis people. we need you to call every single elected official you've got, now.

its tough out there but so am i

IMPORTANT PSA: You will NOT see posts from non English speaking artists if your content language is set to English! Make sure it's *unset*!!! If you're following Chinese artists or whatever and wonder why their posts never show up on your feed this is why!

The sunset was really nice at the beach today

(points) Hey I drew that thumbnail!!
