Entirely too many, but my main 2: 1) @emet-selch.etheirys.social - Hyth gave them the choice of 🐰 or 🦈 and he's spent long enough smelling of sea water tyvm 2) @ifyouneedapush.etheirys.social - matched pair with @eorzea-et-al.etheirys.social, the horrors persist but so does he

Appius eir Callaecus and Rimelnaud de Thelomaire! They're hidden away in Garlemald sidequests, but they've got that good good "one of them is sunshine, the other is a stick in the mud" dynamic we love to see. Also (hyper obscure) Laurenssen, the folklore professor from 2022's Starlight quest

Tsetseg, a visual journey

IT'S YURI DAY GO MY SAPPHICS

HA. Ok, so. I've touched on this in a few previous answers, but T did not take the Vault well. Hunting Thordan kept her going for a bit, but once that was done it became a case of just going through the motions hoping something would ignite a spark of something other than Numb and Grey (1/2)

Flipping @/sarahsyna's latest #FF14 #wolqotd / #wolquestion on its head: What's something you didn't expect you / your WoL / your OC would give two figs about, but that ended up becoming integral to your / their FFXIV experience?

Forget top, bottom or switch; are you tank, healer or dps? 😆

R'talhdi, like most of the Dutiful Sisters of the Edelweiss, is *incredibly subtle* and definitely doesn't always wear a particular shade of green 😜

This is *THIS WEEKEND* (ignore where I said May, the heat in Wales has driven us all a little bit crazy and time has no meaning) at 4pm BST. @eorzea-et-al.etheirys.social has asked that after the ceremony we go to the Aquarium, since that's where we did a lot of our long-distance dates 💜

My wife has been chanting "Paladin Zero" with gradually increasing fervour since visiting her domain in 6.2. So anyway, we did The Abyssal Fracture today 😆 #EndwalkerSpoilers

happy heavensward day

"Mundane life offers me nothing, so I've fixated on the challenge I find here" is significantly closer to the average FFXIV experience than "12,000 year underwater grief diorama" but sure, Emet-Selch is the only relatable Galvus 🙄 (I say this with immense love for the scrungly old hag, obviously)

Also: rocking up to another culture's big ritual (where - by your own admission - you backed the weakest faction so there could be no doubt it was you who changed the outcome) so you can force them into your war isn't smart tactics, it's a dick move. Playing SB as Steppe Xaela sure was a ride 😅

happy (belated?) Heavensward day here is a pair of ✨matching stickers✨ that will be available for the Berlin #FanfestWOLExchange📝⛱️ #ffxiv

The one my best friend made just for me of course 🥺

Happy birthday to the sexiest gif known to man

Just ran Voidcast Dais with @eorzea-etc.etheirys.social. On the plus side, my joking comment about "obviously Chekov's Dragon is going in Chekov's Zodiark pit to give us Zodiark Dragon" was proven true and thus I remain always correct. On the minus side...evil moon's haunted.

It sounds trite, but as rough as playing EW while dealing with a major OOC bereavement was? It was also a safe space to feel big emotions without worrying about whether people would think I was Performing Grief Properly. The "something so banal as despair" speech landed at the exact right moment.

Why is fishing such good business? Because of the net profits 😎 Send your best facts and worst jokes, friends; I fear some combination of marine and midsummer madness yet lies upon me. #FFXIV 🐟

THE EVIL HAS BEEN DEFEATED TAKE THAT YOU SLIPPERY BASTARD

me: zenos is a classic example of twisted psychology, an ego that desperately wishes to be reflected in another to the point of obsession, a loneliness that seeps into his very essence, and- (fanart of zenos smiling) me: AWWWW SCRUMPLY LITTLE GUY MY TERRIBLE LITTLE BOOBOO AWWWWWWWWWWW

I had never drawn Ryne and Gaia before, so here, I corrected that mistake 🧡💜 #ffxivart

[Today Definitely Not In Eorzea] Further adventures with my Sprout, who is very nearly at EW, but mostly @eorzea-et-al.etheirys.social and I working through the post-EW patches. #EndwalkerSpoilers

This is absolutely R'talhdi's moment to shine and remind everyone she does more than just tend bar at the Idle Vice and keep an ear out for rumours to pass to @eorzea-et-al.etheirys.social.

One of the side benefits of the #WardensOfPride fish train, while my rainbow nemesis remains elusive (and this, during Pride month? Scandalous) I have managed to add several prints to the Idle Vice's Wall O' Crab

Apparently it is 4 years since E-S & H were Eternally Bonded (and 2 since what would have been our OOC wedding if we hadn't had to speedrun to beat the Visa changes). Vow renewal next Saturday (May 27th) at 4PM BST on Spriggan. Hit me or @eorzea-et-al.etheirys.social up if you'd like an invite 💜

So Tsetseg really did not cope well with The Vault, and once she'd hunted Thordan down didn't really have any momentum and sank into a grey anhedonic funk that only the adrenaline of dancing near death could pierce. This is... complicated, especially given how like a certain Friend it makes her.

a reminder of all that has been stolen from us... what many who remember doubtless yearn to take back. #zero

It's been a while since we took the boys out, but Warder Harechthonios and Themissary Elidibun ( @eorzea-et-al.etheirys.social ) are out on the town for a night of theatre! If you can't make it to Maduin yourself, watch the show over at www.twitch.tv/jocat 🌈Happy Pride🌈

We're at our final stop of our 14 hour long Pride Month Fish Train in #FFXIV! Thank you to everyone who joined throughout the day, and we hope you had fun fishing! Whoever you are, whatever you identify as, whomever you choose to love - you are loved back. You matter. You are real. Happy Pride.

DPS: She's a Qalli huntress (the xaela tribe that uses birdsong as huntspeak) so was always going to end up gravitating to BRD, but over time has migrated to DNC due to an unhealthy tendency to (literally) dance with her own death as adrenaline could cut through the crippling anhedonia post-Vault.

Storm of blood Born from blood Of our fallen brothers Borne upon our hands Cradled in our arms Swelling in our hearts Raise your weary head Heed the call to arms Ringing in your heart Loyalty! Unity! Liberty!

anyway, today i'm thinking about how stormblood is about the girls, yes, but on a metatextual level, it's also about the ways different kinds of women, across different ages and backgrounds and personalities, are feared—both in the text itself, and how fandom at large treats this expansion
