(This is going to be a very lengthy thread, because I have many OCs and pairings and I'm going to try not to chicken out of talking about all of them.) I'll start with Rhea and her three main love interests in my canon: Haurchefant, Emet-Selch, and Thancred.

I've been using FreeTaxUSA for the last several years. 10/10 recommend them.

They all do, because I've had enough pregnancy/STI scares to last a lifetime and I want my OCs to have better education on that front than I did.

'Twas nary a moon prior that . blessed us with their migration.

This touches on one of my favorite things about ShB - that Emet-Selch, the Exarch, AND THANCRED are all foils of the same "I lost something irreplaceable and am confronted with the horrors it would take to get it back" concept But only Thancred changes himself instead of trying to change the loss.

Saving this for later.

Selkie has a bad case of "needs to be right 100% of the time" and "needs to correct everyone". She's gotten better, but she can still be rather insufferable when she chooses to be.

"Accept" might be too strong a word for how Rhea and Alice feel about their mother getting involved with Gaius. "Barely tolerating with the assistance of alcohol" is a better description.

You know the seventh day, when God rested? That's when Satan invented the goose.

Not only is Rhea blessed with the Echo, she has a finely honed Bullshit Detector. ™ (Benefits of having a mother who is a former spymaster.) So, no, she doesn't. But she also doesn't make a big deal out of it, other than inwardly rolling her eyes.

I just want Wuk Lamat to meet Lyse and become queer besties.

Selkie refuses to talk about her past and why she left Sharlayan. (It was one of her conditions for joining the Scions: that they not ask her about it.)

I hadn't realized how much having a pet improves my mental well being until I started taking care of Ruby. Just having that daily routine of "Oh I need to pet my dragon and take care of her" seems to be working wonders on me.

A lot of these OC questions probably aren't aimed at fandom OCs, but I'm trying to get over my brain weasels. So you'll see a lot of FFXIV OC stuff from me.

During Shadowbringers. Rhea finally got fed up with how Thancred had been treating Minfillia and confronted him about it. Thancred pushed back and there was a fair amount of yelling. Also Rhea's claws came out. Thancred still sports a nice scar on his face from it.

Me: "I think I'm pretty nice to them..." Katherine, Selkie, Kiyoko, Ashelle: *clears throat* Me: "...ok maybe I'm a little mean"

Mine is Spirited Away, full stop.

This is a hilarious question to me because Rhea would 100% forget her anniversary with Thancred because she's too busy getting dragged into whatever world-ending crisis is going on.

Me: "I'm a shit black mage." Also me: *consistently pulls aggro whenever the tank goes down because she's the top damage dealer*

@jynxtsi.bsky.social informed me of Haurchefant's triple triad card quote. And I was broken for about five minutes. I didn't think it was possible to make that Elezen thirstier than he already was.

Rhea is known as the "Starcaller" because during the fight against Gaius in the Ultima Weapon, she ended it by dropping a meteor on his head. She regularly continues to bring this up to him. ("Remember when I dropped a meteor on you?")

"I don't know what you see in me." Galaxies, my love. Worlds where everything and nothing converge. Black holes Blue waters The uninhabitable And the unknown To study you is to explore the expanse of the universe itself. Astronomers would marvel at the beauty inside you.

Not me realizing last night that Kakaro (my pragmatic Lalafell who values coin but still has a firmer moral compass than most of the Crystal Braves) being Hancock's adopted daughter makes entirely too much sense. Fuck canon, I'm running with this.

I am petty enough that I'm tempted to post on social media about how much I want Emet-Selch to shut the fuck up/how much I want to smack him every time I see a Wuk Lamat hater.

I don't often have an immediate emotional reaction to media (because my brain is busy processing everything and this is why I play through things multiple times so I can fully get the emotional impact). But the end of patch 5.3: Reflections in Crystal had me bawling for a good half hour after.

It still baffles me that it's almost 2026 and I still have people who will get involved in the TERF wizard fandom. Like either you have somehow lived under a rock for the last decade or you just don't care about how this impacts the queer/trans people in your lives.

If you see this, post a random fact about yourself. I did ballet, jazz, and tap dance as a child. I still occasionally walk on my toes as the muscle memory from my ballet lessons kicks in.

Time for my annual viewing of Alan Rickman falling off of Nakatomi Plaza.

The top comment on one of my webtoons I was reading: "This character is a red flag but I'm colorblind" and boy does that describe my taste in fictional men.

I'll be the first to admit that I don't know anything about large scale MMO servers and protecting them from DDOS attacks. But I can't shake the feeling that Square could be doing *something* to combat the constant attacks on the NA servers.

*Most* of my OCs do. But there's a few exceptions. Ashelle's job is a Ranger, not Bard. This is because the Bard job doesn't suit her. She's an expert markswoman and tracker. She doesn't have a soul crystal because she was self taught from her years of being a hunter in the forest. (1/?)

It's truly a starlight miracle...
