The Aery is now referred to only as 'Nidhogg's Gym' in my FC due to these particularly buff dragons
A mob in the Aery dungeon in FFXIV including two particularly muscular dragons.

Gridania starter here! I think I started playing on September 4th 2020, and I got 'Storyteller 1' on the same day as this - so I presume day 1 just involved me cluelessly following my friends around the Shroud
FFXIV achievement dated 5th September 2020 for 'Mapping the Realm: Central Shroud'.

I didn't grow up playing Animal Crossing and have only played New Horizons, so I love that I've JUST learned there's a villager called Roscoe. And they DRESS THE SAME
Roscoe, a horse villager from Animal Crossing. He wears a black leather jacket and is holding a cup.

Please behold HW Roscoe. His face is the same but the black hair, no glasses and no beard makes him look so BABY

Also please behold his magical floating booster seat so he can actually eat his dinner. I love playing a lalafell
Roscoe sitting at the dining table in Aymeric's manor. He has black hair in a ponytail with grey streaks, and his eyes are purple. Roscoe sitting at the table opposite Aymeric. He is sitting on an invisible booster seat of some kind so he can actually see over the table.

Last night Sian and I NG+'d some of the HW patches, and it was only then that I realised how much of Ga Bu's situation mirrors Roscoe's 🙃 Accidental summoning of a violent being in response to losing his parents? Check

We were unsynced, but I just had to summon Esteem for this
FFXIV screenshot from the Titan trial showing Titan's dialogue saying 'Mother... Father... I can't... I can't find you...' In front of him, Titan stands with Esteem summoned at his side.

Happy Ween! 🎃 It's time to repost Halloween Roscoe, who I have never redrawn even though I did this several years ago, because I think he peaked
Roscoe, a grey-haired lalafell, is waddling along in a pumpkin costume with a lollipop in one hand and a bag of sweets in the other.

I also found this which I think is the closest yet to how I draw his hair?? But I'm not committed yet. aaa I wish I could find The One hairstyle for him but I want to combine about 4 different ones. I love to make my life DIFFICULT
Roscoe facing to the side with a fluffy hairstyle in a half-ponytail. Roscoe in profile with a fluffy hairstyle in a half-ponytail.

Putting my clown nose on after the All Saint's Wake pictures because I forgot how much I actually really like Thancred's HW hair on Roscoe and now I'm conflicted

Happy All Saint's Wake from the Bramblewoods, who decided this year to dress up as people they greatly respect and admire... or in Roscoe's case, his fellow disaster girldad
Roscoe and Yuyuka dressed up as Thancred and Alisaie respectively, with the minions of each character standing on either side of them.

Bonus round!

The one in Ktisis got SUPER crunched somehow but I still like it

(No I don't have a left-leaning Dutch angle problem I don't know what you're talking about)
Roscoe stands in a corridor in Ktisis Hyperboreia, with the sun shining in brightly through slats in the walls. Behind him, the figure of his Azem stands with their back to the camera. My alt character Saran, a female Au Ra with pale blue skin, long pink-and-blue hair and blue fin-like horns, walks through a corridor with a black mage staff in one hand and a ball of fire in the other. Roscoe, dressed in a warm jacket and scarf, walks alongside a chocobo dressed in Starlight barding. Roscoe's Azem Euphony, a figure in a black robe with starry freckles, long white hair and white wings in place of ears, smiles towards the viewer. This one has some editing in Clip Studio.

These are all pre-7.0 so they're a little cronchy but I'm still very fond of them 💜
Roscoe, a grey-haired lalafell in a brown coat with a dark stripe across his eyes, stands holding the Azem crystal in his hands with his eyes closed and a smile on his face. Behind him stands his Azem, Euphony, a robed figure with long white hair. Roscoe's Azem, Euphony, a figure with black robes, long white hair, white bird wings in place of ears, and an astrologian globe. They are holding the globe in front of them and smiling towards the viewer with an intense look. Roscoe stands with his daughter Yuyuka, a blonde-haired lalafell in a green dress, on a deck in Sharlayan looking out at the ships. She has a cup of tea in her hands, and he is holding a burger in one hand and offering her a paper bag presumably holding more food in the other. Roscoe stands on a wooden deck somewhere in La Noscea, looking up at a dark sky with a galaxy arcing overhead. Beside him is a lighthouse.

Yeah this sounds about right
Screenshot of notes from a call reading: Rosco get your own try harder. I'm trying to find one. You don't want to take Easter one. Okay. I always was trying to find a different one, but I don't think.

My noise reduction app keeps turning on its notes function when I'm in a call and last night it attempted to capture our three Arkveld runs, with varying levels of success 😭
Screenshot of a recording of several speakers in a call reading: Here to help. My thanks, God. Fight the tail. God not again. What genius. There we go that much better towers ass. Where's the summoner? Jesus Christ. Trying to work out when it wants us to stand in these. Why is it spicy? Screenshot of notes from a call reading: What the hell was that? What the hell is this? What the fuck?

(Monster Hunter collab spoilers)

Ran the trial three times tonight, absolutely kicked my ass the first time but I think we got it by the second and third! Maaaaybe we'll try the EX at some point if we're feeling brave
FFXIV screenshot with five characters standing on top of the fallen Arkveld, a white scaly dragon-like creature. Five characters standing together on top of Arkveld: a blonde lalafell in a green dress; a white-haired miqo'te in a purple shirt and waistcoat; a blue-haired miqo'te in a Fall Guys shirt; a grey-haired lalafell in a long brown coat; and a purple-haired Au Ra in a sleeveless top and trousers.

They're the same size 😭 Little guys
Roscoe chatting to the 'Stray Felyne' from the Monster Hunter quests. They are exactly the same height. A close-up of the two of them chatting.

Too furry to be a lalafell, he says while looking at Roscoe
FFXIV Monster Hunter collab dialogue screenshot saying: A distinctive style to be sure, but it's undoubtedly a mark bill. No less peculiar than the client who delivered it, either. Too small for a Hhetsarro, and yet too furry to be a Lalafell. Whatever distant laid they hail from, I doubt I've ever heard of it.

HE DID IT AGAIN

HOW DOES HE KEEP DOING THIS

I had no idea Lost City of Amdapor (Hard) had changed, and got so confused on the first boss 💀 Literally just running around going "is this a bug??" because there were suddenly duplicates of everyone

Another repost from my twitter! Me and the other DRK sharing the same braincell on Cloud Deck when it comes to exactly the wrong time to summon Esteem 👍
Sketch of a bunch of FFXIV characters fighting the boss of the Cloud Deck. Roscoe and the other dark knight both use Living Shadow and their respective Esteems are summoned behind them. Continuation of the previous sketch where the boss becomes untargetable for the phase change, and the two dark knights are left standing looking at it, unimpressed. In the background, the black mage cries over their leylines. The two Esteems begin to chat about the weather.

I was going through my old FFXIV twitter which I don't use any more, and dug up some gems I never reposted here, so I'll get to doing that. Starting with this
Simplified sketch of Roscoe with exaggerated enormous eyebrows and a blank stare, complete with a speech bubble with a question mark in it.

If Goth Barbecue Dad is a style, that's Roscoe's. He wears almost entirely black with the odd pop of colour (usually reserved for loud floral patterns), along with black nails and a multitude of accessories. He'll also find a way to have his shirt open regardless of the weather
Roscoe in Solution Nine, doing finger guns with his tongue sticking out. He's wearing a sleeveless black tank top and trousers with black wristbands.

ROSCOE NO
PUT THEM AWAY
Roscoe with the animations from his Full Metal Machinist move, except he's not actually doing the move, he's standing idle. Something is very broken.
