Player card for FFXIV character Ethrya Swiftstep. The left text block shows their name, pronouns as they/them, game world as Coeurl [Crystal], and levels at the time of posting for every job in the game. There's a large White Mage job symbol in the upper right corner of the text box for the player's main job. Text below all the jobs reads, "[IC] Healer & researcher. [Player] Deep dungeon, crafting & gathering, MSQ, treasure hunt, EXs+" The background image has the character in question visible to the right: a lalafell with pale skin, dark hair, and green eyes wearing round glasses, a gray jacket with white fur trim over a black top and pants, fingerless black gloves, odd earrings, and a choker necklace with gold details. Their weapon, the Skyruin cane, is largely obscured by the text box, but it has an ornamented and feathered head. The character is smiling at the viewer, and the tone of the lighting suggests late afternoon.

I am pretty darn sure there's other stuff to try first they can recommend. I'm just personally super done having a built-in torture organ that I am not even getting anything good out of because I'm too asexual for this. May you find some relief!!

I hope you can get some help because none of us should have to go through that. idc what some doctors say, they're useless if they handwave it. it's not or it shouldn't be. it 100% blows but hang in there

It is not too late to leave a life that doesn't fit you, and no matter what life throws your way, you will not regret embracing the chance to live for yourself

Those who are 35+, what advice do you have for people just entering their 30s?

✨ PILGRIM'S TRAVERSE ✨
Deep dungeon explorers, our time comes again! #ffxiv

FFXIV shot of two lalafell in Il Mheg with the castle in the background. Both are looking at the viewer and holding fae-themed weapons. The left one is standing in a vest with a white shirt, slightly puffy dark pants, and teal shoes with an axe over their shoulder. The right one is in a teal and pinky-purple gown with large butterfly wings at the back, a teal circlet, decorative arm bands, and is holding a glowing rapier toward the viewer in a more active pose. Text framing the shot is placed like a movie advertisement and reads: "Whimsy Belies Danger and Mystery in the Ruins of Il Mheg" "Pilgrim's Traverse" "Vinalo Mabunalo as Warrior" "Ethrya Swiftstep as Red Mage" "The Duo Delve In October 7th, 2025"

whether you're playing PVP or PVE it is important to remember that stressing out other players does not make them perform better let alone magically aware of what you want when you aren't communicating anything but nonspecific complaints. thanks

5 each, two teams! Comp can vary as you can't queue more than 2 together for casual or individually for ranked.

Nah this was Crystalline Conflict. If someone was THAT weird in Frontline I'd know they were just wildly tilted lol

Ethrya Swiftstep is IN DEEP DUNGEON @ethryaswiftstep.bsky.social · 20d

Me too, I try to use "thank you" and "nice job" very sincerely like when I get covered in a pinch, someone pulls off a chain of KOs, stuff like that!

OK got pitted against this dude in another match and he & team beelined for my ass hard and pushed my whole shit in twice. idk what I did but I think that's enough CC for now

Ethrya Swiftstep is IN DEEP DUNGEON @ethryaswiftstep.bsky.social · 20d

is this moba for "I don't like how you are playing", I'm not a moba player at alllll

Ethrya Swiftstep is IN DEEP DUNGEON @ethryaswiftstep.bsky.social · 20d

I was definitely trying hard and got a few kills and a bunch of assists. they died more than I did??

Ethrya Swiftstep is IN DEEP DUNGEON @ethryaswiftstep.bsky.social · 20d

can anyone who is more of an ffxiv pvp head than me explain like, what it means when someone on your own team starts spamming "hello"/"thank you" and marks you as target to bind and/or target to attack? I was on a job I'm trying to learn for CC and it felt like someone wasn't happy with me

It was @catmonkshiro.bsky.social's turn to host the map night so he picked a "bad glam" theme and, well. people leaned in!
