I'm also MelodicBlue, but I have Sprout pals & I try to keep them un-spoilered, so late game stuff is here. Unhinged about #Norvrandt, #EorzeanMuseums, but also #LoveAndDeepspace

Cinder Surprise returns from vacation next week! Are you ready? If you're like me, you might get flustered in the moment and struggle to remember all the steps to give yourself the best chance of catching the Big Fish. Maybe this little song I wrote will help you out!

When ever one of those AI bros tires to tell you that artist are gatekeeping art remember that pros, armatures, hobbyist all stopped what they where doing to provide guidance to a newbie artist over the shared experience that "this one angle is hard to draw"
The "Frieren Looking Up" Art Trend attracted some Big Names in Animation! Excited for Season 2?

That catchy jingle about Cinder Surprise I mentioned? It's real.

It's been stuck in my head for almost two weeks.

#FFXIV FanFest is neither a safe nor accessible convention.
-People asking for disability accessibility need to have a phone call to prove their needs
-they then must agree to specific accessibility accommodations within 24 hours of a follow up email or schedule another full phone call.

Fanfest may be looking to have accessibility issues, but I'd bet the fish will take on that challenge. Why not cast your lot with the fishers for a pregame fanfest meetup?

Just a friendly reminder as we go into the holidays:
Folks don't have to explain to you why they don't drink.
If you offer them a drink and they decline, don't ask them why. It's not your business.
Just offer them something without alcohol to drink instead. And move on.

Y'all, things are pretty stressful with my day job right now, but I woke up to a notification that someone had gone through and left Kudos on *all three* of my LaDS fics on AO3, so today is a pretty friggin' amazing day, actually.

Today is a momentous day in FFXIV fishing history!
Bobgoblin Bass takes the podium sweep for downtimes, with a 38 day downtime starting now. It knocks Cinder's recent 32 day vacation out of third place.
This is the 2nd longest downtime of any fish in #FFXIV.
