heightcomparison dot com getting a massive update to include all these avatars is sooooooo cute i can't stand it. i remember when the site just changed the character's avatar with the height (which resulted in teen/child looking avatars on short characters which drove me crazy)

thought about scaevola and almost threw up he's actually the worst oc ever made

surely it'll be fine if i dont work for ONE friday night... surely it's ok that i'm already behind...

my ability to recall memories is very reliant on having an auditory anchor in that memory, which is great because it’s like a photographic memory but for sound, but is so frustrating when i cannot concretely recall any voice acting that would fit my ocs GRRRR

DO NOT USE ALT TEXT FOR ANYTHING EXCEPT FOR ACCESSIBLE DESCRIPTIONS OF IMAGES AND VIDEOS !!!! THEY ARE AN ACCESSIBILITY FEATURE FOR THOSE WITH ISSUES SEEING AND THOSE WHO USE SCREEN READERS!! I AM ALL CAPS BECAUSE THIS IS AN ANTI-DISABILITY EPIDEMIC IN THIS FANDOM!!!!!!!!
Going into 7.4 remember:

Talking around spoilers in vague ways is spoilers.

Alt text spoilers are spoilers.

And I can't believe I have to put this one up after 7.3 but: Spoilers in Display Names are Spoilers and those can't be muted holy fuck
Comments like 'I sure hope nothing bad happens to (x)' definitely made me go 'If I was not up to patch and saw that I would be so stressed and wondering'

adding: memes out of context are still spoilers!

as a friendly reminder for those newer to the xiv community, there's an unwritten/unspoken rule where a 2-week spoiler embargo is placed on new patch content. please use rot13.com to discuss any spoilers if you REALLY need to yap about it publicly

i have to blow my lore load now and reveal koumori is a magical girl /srs and i have never been more excited for a glam & weapon set ever. imagine this with the eden gear 😭😭😭 i hope this is a sign toward more feminine design trends. rose knights are CANON
New crafted gear has a magical girl theme. (cont.)

plot twist: the other quotes were still resonating with me so i ended up subconsciously picking new ones that were the exact same vibe…
this is all to say i’m very grateful to have an oc diary of sorts, and it was a big step to be here in the first place. persisting… and resisting… (sunset over the shoulder while the credits roll)

i can’t wait to find out what pretentious lines ill use for the rebrand

c'stajha would be the athlete route that everyone thinks is a friendship route because it's so easy and has no romantic tension until she's cornering you before her big game and gives a lil kiss and says some cheesy line about winning, college athlete cstajha is a new thought in my head rn
#wolqotd / #wolquestion

If your wol / oc was in a dating sim what route / type would they be? Would they be popular and or more difficult to romance?

LRP: People who claim to be anti-genAI yet crosspost on twt, I'm sorry, but I don't think you actually care.

"I have friends there", "I like the engagement", "I don't understand bsky's algo"

...Hey man, I get it. Funny engagement numbers makes brain go brr. But my take still stands.

bitch whose special interest is colors tries so hard not to say "color scheme" to everyone in this trend.......... i'm sorry..... it's the first thing i notice and always my favorite part, it's the main root that i build from when making the physical design for an oc, and i have autism sooooo hard
December 5, 2025 at 9:37 AM
im so glad a replyguy trend is on the feed when i come back bc i'm always a Bit too shy to be a fangirl in replies (you see the all caps and !!!! i do when talking about literally anything) im worried it'll be a lil much for ppl i dont interact with often...
December 5, 2025 at 9:24 AM
characters with bangs where it's really obvious they have a huge fatass forehead 😭💖

rebrand done i can post again, i forgot about the live letter in (checks watch) 2 hours... luckily i've been sleeping SOOO poorly for the last few days so i'm going to be wide awake for it.
December 5, 2025 at 8:56 AM
actually one more thing, in light of this

“on some new shit” is super obvious for making my first real socmed acc in manyyyy years, but the rest of it is “been saying yes instead of no” and that full line really really was the mental shift for me to be ok having a “””public presence”””
December 3, 2025 at 12:50 PM
i’m not allowed to post again until i get the rebrand out

rebrand is such a pretentious lil word to use but every other word feels too serious… this is a fun lil guy account i just want a new icon and banner and to fix my bio it’s not cute

c'stajha gets a new hairstyle every expac and so far i'm fairly committed to a big chop for 8.0 and i'm soooo excited for it. 6.0 was when i caught up to the msq, and it was such a story milestone for everyone that i changed her hair to her 7.0 hair very early. she's had a ponytail for sooooo long.

December 3, 2025 at 8:53 AM
i lied, i lied, i super lied in my last post, i forgot about ardbert because i perceive him as mine. all azem shards need two traits (pink eyes, hair highlights that are lighter than their hair color) and i think every canon azem shard is going to inherently become oc-ified by nature of being azem
peeps my head from the corner... hyper-specific #wolqotd, but it's targeted at npcs. do you have an oc-fied version of your favorite xiv npc? what did you change about them? how do they fit into your re-telling of the story? i want to know everything...
December 3, 2025 at 6:57 AM
every other part of the anisota harvest is slightly embarrassing (or i dont want to post anyone without their permission) but the word dump IS in fact the funniest thing i've ever seen. yeah no that is in fact what my brain looks like every day. holy shit.
December 3, 2025 at 6:50 AM
ambrose & scaevola parallels not talked about enough, accidentally the same guy
December 3, 2025 at 6:00 AM
ultimately this boils down to the fact that im autistic and i like things bc i like them, i dont know how else to describe it but it's fascinating bc i end up feeling like ""the odd one out"" in everyyyy fandom just bc i cant understand why someone would engage with a fandom if they dont like it
December 3, 2025 at 5:44 AM
first post i see on my feed today and it has me rotating my own brain in 3d. i write a lot of canon characters, i think i write too many actually, the downside of my love for rehashing canon text through roleplay. i love them as they are, i think most npc writing flaws are lack of screen time.
