the whiplash of growing up in an era where you're told never to reveal anything about yourself online to existing in an age where people want everyone to have a carrd detailing every facet of personal identity, experience, and preference is actually very hard to navigate
loving your original characters will do things to you. I intentionally made mine with purple color schemes because it was never really a color I liked. now I'm standing in starbucks buying every other purple seasonal cup they put out. I'm getting purple desk accessories.
begging people to expend less energy on things they hate, less time making fun of the people making the things they hate, and more energy on uplifting the content you apparently want to see ; why water weeds when you could grow gardens
I think clip studio paint users and ffxiv players should be studied under a microscope by corporations because these two demographics do more to promote their products than the actual ad firms hired to promote the products do
I cannot stop watching this video. like I cannot explain the sort of love I feel watching this video. it makes me feel like life is worth living, that humanity is good after all.
I love obsessively devoted ship dynamics. villains mutually laboring for a cause and for eachother. a king and his knight. the deranged going further and further lengths to impress their partner. obsessive games of cat and mouse and predator and prey but it's a mutual craze.
there's this interesting subset of self proclaimed villain likers who do not, in fact, like being told the villains or antagonists they like are not the best people and it fascinates me
my controversial opinion is we should just normalize posting rp logs on ao3 because I know for a fact some of you are writing masterpieces in a collaborative format and I want to read them.
at the convocation water cooler:
lahabrea: heyso emet have you heard about my funny bird
emet: i think we are being sundered
elidibus: *falls through the ceiling* heyguys we're being sundered
as a native person, it genuinely makes me so happy that as the plot has made it a point to drive home the fact that the "beasts" are people, that the team is retiring the "beast tribe" verbage. it's good. it's really good.
when someone makes and shares their character's lore with the world, it is a precious and vulnerable thing, it's a sign of love and trust. it's done under the assumption that it won't be stolen, bent, repurposed. shared creativity is a love language and its a privilege 😔
I feel like y'shtola has some of the most poignant dialogue in the game. her confrontation of elidibus, her being the only one who seems to care about varis body horror extravaganza, her telling the wol their soul was horrifying if you choose her to visit the room, etc.

did anyone else like, completely come undone when the warrior of light crouches down to actually hold meteion's hand? the warrior of light so rarely physically interacts with others in cutscenes, and saving such a thing for that specific scene destroyed me
and this is no shame to those who do this. I see the merit in them to an extent, but knowing that they have become standard I think puts a lot of pressure on people who prefer to be more private, or enjoy anonymity (which isn't skeevy at all) it genuinely makes me anxious 😰
ffxiv's lore is so interesting for being like "so once upon a time, you had this big oc. but then they got broken into 14 little smaller ocs. well, yours is a bit more glued together now, but we're also going to make some of those little pieces into the games canon npcs."
date idea we go to the local coffee shop with our macbooks, we order our five dollar coffees, and we sit close to give the illusion of business before working independently on our 10k+ word, slow-burn pwp fanfic about old video game men no one cares about
it will never not be funny to me when modders take their nightlife club shots in fake amaurot like someone ring the alarm, the girlies are taking thong shots in the simulacrum of a grieving wizard's perished homeland
I want a [fuck it we ball] option for party finder that makes it abundantly clear I don't care about a clear I just want to fuck around and find out, preferably blind
today I am thinking about the fellow black mage in a learning party for hades some time ago that, when I told them to target lahabrea if ice, igeyorhm if fire, began to only use fire spells on igeyorhm. and only ice on lahabrea. I hope they are doing well.
thinking about lahabrea and elidibus post-sundering not fully understanding what the malformed creatures they're seeing are but emet-selch is having a category 5 meltdown because he knows exactly, who exactly, he's looking at and having to relay this information,
I love that every final fantasy fan regardless of interest, ship, etc. is sitting here like "I'm being fed," and "if you thought I was insufferable before, just you wait," and I find that really special
I feel like the whole dismemberment of varis was just totally breezed through and blown past in enw and I don't even know if I want to know more, I just am still in awe that it came and went so quickly when it's one of the most unsettling things in the game
if you have a ship where at least one character has long hair and you aren't making it a point to build a sentimental hair ribbon, tie, or barrette into their plot, are you even shipping them at all
it genuinely upsets me the amount of vitriol lalafell players get. in my experience, they are one of the kindest, funniest demographic of players and they often have some of the most well thought out lore. they’re not children, they’re not mammets, they’re not props.
characters with eyepatches removing them only when in the company of their beloved in a moment of vulnerability and having the soft mark across their face left from the patch's tie touched gently, send tweet.
I am a connoisseur of many types of horror and I do think endwalkers "these innocent people's fears and anguish turn them into monsters that when dispelled devour their entire soul, barring them from finding peace even in death" reveal is in the top ten most horrific plot points.
can you imagine being a high schooler or college student assigned thomas more’s “utopia” for required readings and being exposed to an ethereal, lilac-haired femtop when googling “hythlodaeus” for your homework
I appreciate that the gridanians are like "here children, play with these blocks and little leather strips" and aymeric is like "hello I'm daddy warbucks from the north and here is your 5 million gil coat per ishgardian tradition. be well, little one."
@MoonsighFFXIV
When prompted on Endwalker to select someone to show at your room, that choice should have impact into the ending.
- WoL male selected female: WoL male dies at the end, selected female survives and carries your child.
- WoL female selects male: WoL female dies giving birth.

when emet-selch says the ascians are "currently understaffed" in shadowbringers I just imagine elidibus running that ascian mcdonalds like the fucking navy
I don't even use my legal name on my business pay/pal, or on facebook (I am laughably surprised I have not been nabbed for that yet) — I don't even use my legal name on mail I send or receive. I don't list my pronouns, for years I didn't even say my partner's name publicly lmao
it's starting to become so apparent that ffxiv has been running for 10 years because the graphic quality of some older gear, hair, and housing items compared to newer releases is becoming laughably stark.
so crazy people actually think "ugh, this healer is not doing their job" enough to say something because whenever I see my hp start to slip I giggle and think "me oh my, I am reaping what I have sown"
I never diss on harmless game opinions publicly, but the only one that I've ever genuinely wanted to barge into (lovingly) was someone saying how badly they wished for more of "the unique music like what plays in akadaemia anyder IRL" and I wanted to scream "jazz, you mean jazz"
this is very fascinating considering that altima (the composer, advocate of aesthetics and the arts) and deudelophon (the innovator, appraiser of architecture and patron of innovation) are the 2 confirmed ascian masks gaius has in his possession.
people talk about themis like they’ve never seen a short person before in a video game where 80% of the player base only comes up to my elf’s dick and balls height wise
looking at the neo-ishgardian gear and the shadowbringers era in which it dropped and thinking "what if this is gear from ishgard per the doomed, militarized timeline the exarch was trying to avoid"
