okay which one of you dorks put ffxiv's website as an example for whois query results on wikipedia?

another thing I thought was cool was how the weekly battle pass thing has a very FFXIII feeling UI. Allagan designs are heavily based on XIII's, so it still keeps that connection, even if tomestones are going to be depreciated.

all im thinking about is new tank with two shields

person who had to cull their plushie collection voice: I'm a monster

and in answering lrp, I've figured out a small goal for my writing that I might get brave enough to do one day... hm.

Moved from Aether to Dynamis to get a house. Dynamis feels like a smaller neighborhood. You'll run into the same people when doing roulettes, gathering loops, etc. Feels cozy imho. FCs are usually RP heavy, which as someone who's not into that, its hard to find my niche there.

Besides the shattered shield arm, concussion, and the severed back muscles that means he has to use a cane, A'dhen spent so much aether he ended up with acute Aetherspurn. Y'shtola and Urianger's intervention "plugged the drain." He still had seziures in recovery, and there's a risk of relapse.

being gay must be so freeing for a sunseeker guy. you say hey im a tia and everyone looks at you a little somberly and then you go oh no its a gay thing not a no pussy thing and everyone nods their head and goes oh good for you living your truth you know my nephew is gay maybe you know him

I bet the nunh / tia roleplay in gay miqote circles goes crazy

found my old Hunter!Ardyn notes where I spent half a page calculating the draw weight of his bow lmao

A'dhen does not initiate. He escalates. (Bugs Bunny is one of my character inspirations for him.)

ShB, EW, StB, DT, ARR, HW ShB has the best climax, needle drop, and patches. EW had "In From the Cold" and possibly fixed me as a person. StB edges out DT just because it leans into the political drama more than DT, despite being a more tightly crafted story. HW last bc Ysayle should have lived.

"This is boring this is slop" sure maybe but the answer is to make or pay someone to make something else, no one's stopping you

I'd never say that activism doesn't belong in fandom nor would I say bigotry is at all acceptable in hobby spaces, but fandom is supposed to be, first and foremost, fun, and it's not inherently a moral failing if someone has like a m/f domestic au or whatever it is that women aren't allowed to like

Really crazy how a lot of people's personal empowerment, fun, comfort, and catharsis via fandom is attacked and mocked because it doesn't fill a quota in the ao3 tags or whatever. The worst consequence of the content-ification of fandom, which is supposed to be a hobby people do for fun

the endwalker msq hits different when you are catatonically depressed before playing it. every few weeks i think about how hard i cried during the "has your journey been good, has it been worthwhile?" scene.

Thunderstorms (though really its any sudden loud noise), being underground, and dolls. He used to be afraid of open water but the Kojin fixed that for him lol

Nero tol Scaeva is "Woman in STEM" coded, and that's why Yoshi-P made two (2) expys of him that are girls.

the secret to having a clean email inbox isn't discipline or fancy filters. it's about not losing your emotional support spam under all the new spam.

It's been a while since I've written something that makes me cry from catharsis, rather than frustration...

A'dhen is both traumatized and... posessive, so there are very few he'd even want to join him and Nero. Cid joins (bc ofc), but he doesn't like A'dhen in that way, so that works out for all of them. I will, however, be imagining A'dhen showing Gaius how to properly... "use" Nero. 🥴

a new prompt — build a playlist for your character around emotions, regardless how fleeting or fragile. take it, use it, abuse it.

WHAT

A'dhen's All Saint's Wake costume: the Mad Hatter (not pictured: the March Hare).

been out of commission due to current events and family... stuff. still in and out but know I love and miss you all 💖

cidnero on some advanced yaoi studies cocaine bc aging twink nero is always the babydaddy for some reason. if nero had a womb id be like whatever everyone gets downbad for pussy sometimes but that is not the case here the closest thing final fantasy has to a human mascot has let Nero Scaeva come ins

I'ven been going through some old writing while organizing my vaults and... I have a Madoka Magica AU for FFXV I really want to revisit. Not that I need a reason to revisit either Madoka or FFXV tbh

Why does a bowl of pasta taste, as my grandmother would say, better than sex when you're tipsy? (i made chicken parm and got into the wine while I was cooking oops)

Went insane at work thinking about fashion cidnero #callinemachinegobrrr

Reorganizing my writing vault should be easy! I'll be done before I have to head out of town, no problem! huh... why do I hear boss music?

finally off for a long weekend due to factors beyond my control. gonna spend part of it reorganizing and revamping my obsidian vault with all my ffxiv writing in it. it's over a third of a million words. girl help

in any form of media that i enjoy, i will have a personal canon for it called I Can Do Whatever I Want Forever. i highly recommend trying this

lrp is entirely true. it is also very lonely.

You're allowed to enjoy your ships on your own. You don't need to join that discord. You don't have to follow that big name artist/writer/meme maker. You don't have to accept the popular fanon headcanon. You can just enjoy them how *you* want to on *your* terms. You don't need anyone's permission.

Sensitivity readers aren’t enough btw. You need genuine connections to the cultures you’re representing; that means actively hiring and working with activists, indigenous people, and cultural leaders / elders. If this bare minimum isn’t enough, then you shouldn’t ‘represent’ them.

Here's another forums thread under the Items section, comment there as well! forum.square-enix.com/ffxiv/thread...

i think we should hold an xiv week and it should be from january 1st to december 31st every year and we use every day to talk about how cool our blorbos are. the only rule for xiv week is that you are not allowed to harass other people who are playing with their toys in ways you dont like

Only when he has a point to make, and hardly ever as an insult. A'dhen worked service and was in academia, where cursing is considered an admission of defeat. In a fight, however? He's muttering a string of panicked curses the whole time.

feeling low so I wanna rewatch TriStamp so I can gnaw on Millions Knives like a chew toy again

will be scarce today due to nascent migraine but know I will be back to spread some love 🫶

my eternal struggle

fell asleep during the KH:BBS run last night and I was out for twelve whole hours

I wish I had the patience to gpose...

not sgdq playing a cover of "Somnus" during the break and immediately getting my attention lol

Pride, like a martyr. A'dhen believes his trials and traumas to be somehow more terrible and more unique than any others', so he refuses to reach out for help, lest he burden anyone. He can't accept that anyone might actually want to help him, and it isolates him.

A'dhen, after he gets over himself, is very liberal with saying those three words aloud; Nero is not. He is, however, quick to nudge his way into A'dhen's personal space with three little taps or pats. One. Two. Three. I. Love. You.
