I'll handle healer duties for one of those humanoid slots but man you're gonna have to pick between the girls for a mascot

CHOOSE YOUR FIGHTER:
Cookie, 14, takes the high ground, scratches everything,

Misty, 6, rolls around everywhere, softest belly ever
Cookie and Misty sleep on my parent's sofa. Cookie is an older tabby stretching her claws across the armrest, Misty is a.. greyish tortie ish cat curled up in a little fuzzy ball.

Yesterday was a VERY delicious birthday! We have so much cake oh my god

Been very much overwhelmed with love for my friends and partner today ❤️❤️❤️
A chocolate cake with brown ganache icing. Blue and pink candles are lit, and pink and white hearts form a border. It says 'happy 29th birthday!' in blue icing, with a heart!

We got my everyday engagement ring ❤️ It's so pretty! I hadn't considered how beautiful cabochon sapphires can be. This one has some facets in it, so when it catches the light, it practically glows.
A sapphire cabochon sits atop a golden ring on the fourth finger (where engagement rings sit). It has two sets of three small diamonds both sides. The same cabochon ring, but in a black ring box.

We had a lunar eclipse! Have a couple pics from ~3:40am. It's a shame I can't share the more zoomed-out ones for privacy reasons - from afar, the moon genuinely looked bright red instead of coppery!
The moon coloured red during the lunar eclipse, with slight brightness on the left side. A bright "star", aka Saturn, is seen in the top right. A later picture of the same lunar eclipse. The white glow on the left side has decreased, meaning the moon looks more like solid copper-red.

I love that my scholar always has this ditzy lil faerie with her. I can be facing off against gods or losing friends in dramatic sacrifices and Eos is just there like ":D" the whole time.

My gym asked us to try out their app, but... uh...

It seems a little bit WIP.
A screenshot of the Greenedesk app. The leaderboard tab is selected, showing two boxes labelled B - Test and an empty table that's misaligned with the screen.

Saw a hell of a show yesterday! RIP Kevin from Bendigo.
The entrance to the Regent Theatre in Melbourne. There's a bright green/black/white neon sign hanging over the classical theatre steps that reads "welcome to the netherworld". An image of the stage, lit in purple and red with purple and green lights around the sides. The stage has a neon red/white sign reading BETELGEUSE, BETELGEUSE, with an arrow pointing at a gap in the curtains pouring green smoke. The theatre's ceiling and upper rows. It's classical architecture, and every nook and cranny is lit in purple and green. A shot from the intermission on the way back to the stage. Dark rows of seats and hundreds of people await the show's continuance. The stage is showing a black and white spiral swirling, lit with lots of green and purple. There's a slight haze to the theatre from all the lights.

This is a LOT of eggs.
A number of different kinds of easter eggs laid out in rows. This was us counting our hunt's spoils to make sure we had them all! All of the eggs in one giant silver bowl! Our larger eggs and one of the baskets can be seen in the background.

The best thing about Easter is getting to hang out with my caaaaats
Cookie half asleep on the sofa's arm, hugging the arm and lazily looking at me. Misty, halfway through rolling around the floor, pauses to show her very fluffy belly. She looks sheepish. Cookie, flobbed on the floor, stares at me. This is her way of telling me to pet her. Misty stares down the phone, all fat kitty sat on her own paws. She looks kinda serious!

Foul behaviour.
og comment: its always disgusting when mods take away POC reply from author: Sorry you feel that way. To me, her skin color looked more fictional than representative of a real-world tone. If she were originally blue, would changing her color also be an issue? If you see the original as accurate representation, then I’m glad you can enjoy the game as it was designed. This recolor doesn’t make the character—or anyone—any more or less valid. It’s just an option. Mods exist to let people customize their experience. I just want people to enjoy their gameplay the way they choose. Not everything has to be a racial agenda, and not everyone has to conform to your idea of representation. Leaving a rude comment instead of starting a respectful discussion doesn’t do anything but create hostility. That’s more malicious than this mod ever was.

CHRISTMAS CATS!!!!
Cookie, longhair tabby, underneath the xmas tree posing for the camera among a variety of presents. Misty, fat shorthair grey tabby, sits on the outskirts of the xmas tree's nest of presents watching Cookie, who is chilling in the tree's depths among all the presents. Misty sits atop a cardboard candycane scratching thing, looking very content with life. Xmas tree in the background. Cookie celebrates xmas in her favourite place: a cardboard box. She's curled up and trying to sleep, eyes a tiny bit open to see wtf I'm doing with the camera.

get prepared for all the xmas cat spam
Misty, a soft fat grey tabby, seen through green fake Christmas tree branches and silver tinsel. Cookie, a teenage longhaired tabby, gives the camera a closeup stare. My parents' christmas tree! It's a Huge green tree with silver tinsel and gold & silver baubles in many shapes and sizes. My parents' second Christmas tree. This is a much smaller green christmas tree, and despite being decorated in reds and golds with gold tinsel, you can't tell much of the colour - the red lights colour the whole tree and room in crimson. Looks kind of evil!

Bushfire smoke has reached Melbourne.
Skyscrapers in the foreground. Above them, the sky is coloured orange-brown with smoke, and the sun is coloured a strange reddish orange. Bushfire smoke over Melbourne. The sun hangs above a skyscraper. The sky is coloured orange by smoke.

Place 4: Well I'd made up my mind when we went to go up and out of the 6 lifts, only 2 were working, the walls were scratched, and the lift doors were rusted.

The place itself was OK, but really dated & needs a bit more work than we'd like. Shit kitchen. Also too many bugs!

How about the VIEW tho
A view from 43 floors up showing Melbourne's city centre. The sea stretches along the far right in the distance, and between the urban forest of skyscrapers, you can glimpse the Yarra and Albert Park's lake. The sky is warm and blue, with few clouds, but the scene is still overcast by shadows from offscreen.

Place 3: Stunning. Genuinely - this is LOVELY. It's out of budget right now and the building ALSO has an outdoor pool, but this area is great, accessible, walkable, and has fab public transport. If the price drops here, I'd love this place. Kitchen's not AS good, though.

Here's the view.
A wide shot over the top of multiple skyscrapers. You can see Melbourne's docks and their bay to the left, and the entire city skyline in the centre of the image. It's a cloudy, overcast day, so the clouds look awesome.

PIE UPDATE

FANTASTIC. DELICIOUS. SPLENDIFOROUS. 10/10 no notes, Cherry Pie in Docklands do fantastic work.
THE PIE, sliced and with cream applied THE PIE, with half remaining. There's a box of breadsticks next to it. It's a little haphazardly cut into four slices because someone gave me the responsibility to cut it and I panicked.

"Hey Optus, my phone isn't able to make or receive calls."
[they transfer me to a senior after troubleshooting fails]
Case manager: "I tried calling you but you were unavailable. I will give you call back again."

...YEAH. YOU CAN'T CALL ME. BECAUSE MY PHONE *CAN'T RECEIVE CALLS*
Screenshot of the Optus conversation. The title of the conversation is ' Mobile Fault - Cannot make or receive calls'. The agent then says 'Hi Heather, This is Ruchiira your Op;tus Case Manager. I tried calling you but you were unavailable. I will give you call back again.' I reply with 'Hi Ruchira, you cannot call me because that is the issue I am having. My phone cannot make or receive calls.'

I don't share my gym prog here often, but I feel like doing so today! I'm having a rough health day so the fact I managed to still go is great.

Now time to go home and continue FFXIV shenanigans!
