yelling about blorbos since 2k22
This is a memo to myself to do #fanficwrapped for 2025 tomorrow, since I have plenty to look back on this year 👀

thinking about estimeric feat. aymeric going "estinien you can't just kidnap people" and estinien assumes he's asking him to explain his methodology

Serious question: do you think 7.4 is going to remark on (or even remember) the whole bit about how there were prisoners and a wholeass jail loaded into the Meso Terminal and turned into Endless, and also that the entire first third is basically Fantasy War Crimes Simulator? #ffxiv

Niko's Black Mage quests continue:

ZHAI'A NELHAH SPOTTED 👀

replaying the ARR Black Mage quests on Niko and thinking about how all the quest NPCs are members of the beast tribes shunned from their own societies because of their desire to follow their calling and then looking at how Summer's lore has developed ever since like MAN did I do a good job with her

Some idle thoughts on the #ffxiv 7.4 trailer in the thread below, but chief among my reflections is how utterly tired I am of grungy industrial purple fluorescent Solution 9-esque dungeons because this is literally the sixth in a row and I Do Not Care about Alexandria anymore!!!

Built Niko a Triple Triad deck tonight and experienced why it's dangerous to cultivate shared headcanon universes with your buddies because every time I'd make a solid play (Squall in the upper-left, for example) I would be like

sometimes i don't write anything for several weeks and then wake up one morning and bust out a narrative dissociative episode featuring two centenarians having nasty tragic UST before finally fucking about it and then, like, killing each other

god i love emet/exarch and all its wild potential

the other day saw a PF up for a HW light farm so i joined because farms make the serotonin go brrr

after our first run the PF owner, alarmed, was like "oh no you didn't have your relic equipped"

and they were WILDED when i was like, oh no, i'm just here to make this take 31 total seconds for you

It makes me actually insane that we used to have writing this funny, and how phoned-in the allied societies of Dawntrail come off by way of comparison.

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
November 9, 2025 at 3:21 AM
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

god i miss shadowbringers so much

First personal clear of Pilgrim's Traverse achieved tonight!

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.
October 22, 2025 at 1:18 AM
in other news i'm bringing this back to try to manifest Yoshi-P putting Thancred in 7.4 to foreshadow 8.0's plot somehow

IT HAS ONCE AGAIN BEEN LIKE TWO YEARS MY CROPS ARE WITHERING MY FIELDS ARE BARREN LET ME SEE MY BOY
