Yeah, we could all use some of this lately.

A dialogue box from Final Fantasy 14. The character Ezel II is saying:

"I see! Self-actualization, I believe my master called this need, and I daresay it will provide us with a clue to unsealing the final gate!"

I feel like I got the theme wrong...

Me in a decidedly spooky getup, in the pixie dream realm. It's like if Jack Skellington got sucked into Candy Land.

Plus side, that's finally done!

The Disreputable Priest praising me for having gathered Makai sets for 13 jobs.

But yeah. I'm no Crystal-tier player but I could probs get out of the low ranks - but I'm in the low ranks now and don't really feel like spending an hour or more per game queuing. Don't care that much. Don't really enjoy CC enough to bother with that.

Did just have a good game on Casual though. 8 assists and 0 deaths in 3 minutes, easy win.

Oryn Eyltanath @maidenofletters.etheirys.social · 3h

FTR, I have never won a ranked game. I've only ever gotten into one, two or three seasons ago, and my team got so horribly plastered that I was hesitant to go back. Tried once or twice every season since to queue, but could never again get it to pop - and don't really care enough.

Oryn Eyltanath @maidenofletters.etheirys.social · 3h

The patch was less than two weeks ago, and ranked CC is already up to impossible queues

"More than 30m" queues for ranked Crystalline Conflict.

Nothing better than getting Orebonne on roulette while you're leveling a job you're not good with.

I'd run Orebonne exactly once ever, months ago.

(Still thinking I'm probs gonna be offline soon. Didn't lie about that. Things are rather up in the air right now though. AT BEST I'll be online until the end of November before dropping off, but I suspect it'll be sooner, maybe much sooner.)

Will look for another FC when (if) I ever have a chance to play again.

In fairness, he's actually been pretty helpful in the past, though he's not the most "sociable" person, so I'm actually willing to write it off as a fluke. Still, it's hit *really* bad given the context of everything else going on in my life. I meant it when I said I didn't need this today.

But yes, I've left. And blocked this guy in particular.

Oryn Eyltanath @maidenofletters.etheirys.social · 1d

And this person is yet a higher officer than me. He was like the third-in-command. (Top three are all the FC Master's longtime friends. FC Master themself is a good person, but I have no illusions they'd side with me over this guy.)

Yes, I've been in the Company for over a year and have worked my way up to a top officer myself. I was in the top...six or seven, I think, humans in an FC of 500 characters. Overall it's been great. Not completely free of drama, but with very little.

Oryn Eyltanath @maidenofletters.etheirys.social · 1d

And it gets better:

The officer dirty-deleted his comment, and I publicly called him out on it in the channel. In this shot, it's possible to see that the channel is called "FF14 Rant Complain Room."

Oryn Eyltanath @maidenofletters.etheirys.social · 1d

And yes, I *really* didn't need this today.

(Will keep the details to my main account, but suffice to say I'm probs going to be offline again, very soon and probably for longer this time. Life sucks.)

Shout-out to the officer in my FC who just tried to manslpain Triple Triad to me.

An officer in my FC being confidently incorrect about Triple Triad, and me putting the smack-down on him.

#hyur #wysposing

Image of two white-haired humanoids, one masculine (left) and one feminine (right). They are both wearing the same long, white robe with slight gold embellishments.

They are holding each other close and dancing. The feminine humanoid holds her right hand to the masculine humanoid's cheek, gently caressing it and smiling wide as the masculine humanoid holds her hand softly in return. Both of their right hands are holding one another. The masculine humanoid is smiling warmly as they look into each other's eyes.

Against a primarily black background, there are very faint stars shining. There is also a symbol of a tree, Yggdrasil, behind them. Blue light shines behind the masculine humanoid, while red light shines behind the feminine one.

They’re all great, but that fourth one is incredible!

Sometimes just gotta play dress up. <.<

I don’t have any new shots, but Oryn is on the ace spectrum. (She’s demi, but in her line of work that’s tantamount to completely ace.)

HAPPY ACE WEEK (fr this time)
