This is a Geek Out account for FFXIV & my OC.
I write fanfic, I'm old AF, I'm ND & queer.
I have 0 facility w/ gpose. If I didn't prefer to write so much I'd consider doing something about that.
I'm currently on 2 journeys: NG+ for a WIP & a lore-dive on Substack. (And, yes, that's WAY 2 much.)

I shouldn't be shocked, but I'm still always brought up short to realize how many people think "civility" means "white people speaking in relatively calm voices" no matter what vile shit they say.

I thought I was insane to attempt to write from Thancred's perspective.
More so for then trying Azem's.
And then I went and made up an antagonist.
But what fool would EVER consider writing from Urianger's?

Beta Reading Adventures:
He keeps substituting Elizabeth for Elidibus.
"I should just call him Beth."
Later: "I think you should replace 'beautifully deep voice' with something more descriptive - rich baritone, maybe?"
Me: "So, Baritone Beth?"
Yes, Baritone Beth it is.

Will we meet Halmarut in an upcoming patch? They were mentioned in the Pandaemonium epilogue - its release was delayed because of its relevance to the upcoming story.
I want an explanation for why the flora/fauna/people from the First & Source are both present in Living Memory's gardens!

Thancred confessed a crass fantasy of the 2 of them in an alley in Ala Mhigo.
The crassness was the compliment - hero worship alienates her. She longs to be seen as a person.
And Thancred knows that better than anyone.

I've probably seen a dozen or so WoLs in the meet-and-greet scene with Emet-Selch. But it still blows my mind - EVERY TIME - that the WoL backs away when he approaches to beg for cooperation.
Our WoL does not back down. A blatant tell of unwanted attraction

I'd say Alisaie knows, but then I remind myself that Glori has a nasty habit of lying to her on the regular.
Ah, what would have happened between these two had Emet-Selch not been Emet-Selch?
All that to say: One is never to old to play with dolls.

Being the obsessive SokenStan I am, I often listen to FFXIV music at work.
And, wow, do I have to pause whenever this shows up.
The build-up of tension in the percussion, the cutting of the strings like blades through the air.
Just an EPIC battle song.
Underrated, I think.

Smut chapter - WoL & Thancred have linkpearl sex. On the surface, an act of cowardice by both. The subtext, however, is pure joy, so "Everywhere" fit perfectly. So much that I sprinkled, "Oh, I" throughout.
