yelling about blorbos since 2k22
I lied, I'm doing another one:

Azem rock summon becomes a button that can be assigned to a hotbar. On command you can summon Emet-Selch like a retainer, causing him to say one of several lines such as "I'm SLEEPING" or "This AGAIN?" or "I said NO" before disappearing again.

Rock CD is 15 seconds.

You have been granted one (1) minor boon from Yoshi-P: you can add, subtract, or change something about FFXIV in a *minor* way, no restructuring entire systems or expac stories, nothing that changes the course of the narrative. What do you choose?

Wuk Lamat has no voiced lines in the entirety of the EW patches or Dawntrail. She is the only character this affects.

...I just think it'd be funny if all her dramatic yelling scenes (chiefly the SPHEEEEEEEEEEENE cutscene) were updated into text bubbles displayed over otherwise complete silence. 🤣

possibly unpopular opinion but I genuinely think the Fall Guys / Blunderville event is some of the worst content #ffxiv has ever added to the game

i genuinely feel like thancred and urianger are less gay for each other and more lifebonded in the sense that both is absolutely convinced that the other would immediately die within 10 minutes of being without him

tonight's topic of nonsense discussion:

scion polycule but everyone has a different love language so they're all signaling availability and thinking they're being rejected

the path up through tartarus is looking a little different than usual...

back on my #hades bullshit for the #ffxiv halloween event!

Summer falls vaguely on the "cute" side of average, but people tend to perceive her as more attractive than she objectively is because she's manipulative about how people perceive her.

Niko is the exact opposite, jawdroppingly handsome without effort and constantly baffled by people thinking so*
A #wolqotd because I'm bored on the train (probs one that's been asked before too)

How attractive is your WoL? Do people see them as being conventionally attractive, are they average or not attractive at all?

Every so often I forget how hot Niko is and then I load up his account to do one of the FFXIV holiday events or put some levels on one of his off-classes and I just. WHEW. No wonder everyone he encounters want to jump his bones because DAMN.

the correct way to do Deep Dungeon is as fae creatures entreating dark forces to enable them maliciously in their schemes
October 18, 2025 at 8:28 PM
Thinking about Summer in Marcelverse's Eighth Umbral Calamity frantically writing like Alexander Hamilton because she knows the work of fixing the timeline will outlive her, and of Thancred preserving it, and of the Exarch later showing it to Thancred on the First as a way of gaining his trust
October 17, 2025 at 4:36 AM
Apropos of nothing one of my favorite pieces of headcanon worldbuilding about the Eighth Umbral Calamity is that Mhachi arts saw a rapid spike as the Source became more light-soaked because mages, starved for dark aether, would open voidgates to lure voidsent over, trap them, and cannibalize them.

This is another of those things that I feel like I'm always trying to put my finger on when I say "it feels like the writers of Dawntrail just didn't care". I'm not even a SCH enjoyer and I'm mad they got nothing special about Archive and Iris, like that's literally the whole plot of SCH 30-60???
Also, this is less a "they got it wrong" and more a "this was a missed opportunity", but I will die mad about the fact that there was not one single bit of custom dialog acknowledging I had BLM leveled (or any references to it at all) during the Endwalker patches. War of the Magi who, apparently.

also idk what the drop rates are for the wind-up feo ul but i have gotten two in the past two days of just casual aetherpool farming and i am delighted to have KING in my inventory

Not really spoilers for Pilgrim's Traverse but govern yourself accordingly:

man someone really went to soken and was like "hey soken how many la hee remixes do we really need for this deep dungeon" and soken was like 𝕙𝕠𝕝𝕕 𝕞𝕪 𝕓𝕖𝕖𝕣

I like to RP Thancred as doing light tail-tugging with his Miqo partners based on @bloodwhet.etheirys.social's headcanon that tails are used primarily for balance; he'll have his partner lie on top of him and then pull along their tail like a cat's to give them a sensation of light swoony-ness.
A NSFW #wolqotd for OCs with tails and/or who have tailed partners:

Do their tails get incorporated into sex or kink play? If so, what kinds of sensations do they like? Is it something they have to work up to, or are they freer/more permissive about new lovers touching their tail?

pours one out for all the Seeker of the Sun Miqo players who took one look at the canonical "there is only one guy in the entire tribe who gets to fuck. somehow this causes no genetic problems whatsoever" thing and immediately threw it out the window to make up their own nunh lore instead
I know it's been asked before, but I wanna talk about it: what did YOU the player change/add to the race you play outside of canon? Can be an expansion of existing lore or something you just made up because it's fun~

I'm actually astonished how accommodating Pilgrim's Traverse is to soloing on black mage. I mean it's understandable since you actually have your kit and a decent repertoire of hard-hitting fast casts at levels 91-100 (unlike in PotD) but MAN. Feels great to be good at something!
October 9, 2025 at 4:16 AM
I think I've largely decided that Summer's Echo manifests as unusually vivid dreams, and so she's always got that sliver of plausible deniability when it comes to "knowing things she shouldn't". Is she an extraordinarily good guesser / cold reader or was it an Echo vision? Who can say?
#wolqotd (now spelled correctly)

I don't know if this has been asked recently, but has your wol/non-wol echo-haver seen any visions with the echo outside of those we see in canon? If so, how do they respond to knowing things that they shouldn't about the people around them?
October 8, 2025 at 5:21 PM
also idk who did the translation for the Pilgrim's Traverse unlock quests but am i the only one out here squinting at the race-unique wording for miqo like

"break their fast on [...] your buttocks"???

did this character mean to say "kick your ass" but then said "eat your ass" instead. incredible.
