Casual FFXIV account. Probably not spoiler-free. Very occasionally NSFW. Will definitely be used to figure my wol's actual lore.

Replay progress: 3.0 cleared

After finding out that the Eorzea Encyclopedia font is Adobe Calson Pro, I jumped into a rabbit hole of fonts! Here is small suggestions for free/payed fonts.

(brain whirs to life) averting 8UC bad end is kinda implied to hinge on the summoning to the first working, and with black rose already doing some awful work in post-stb, then 8UC probably started in earnest in a war very soon after the effects were discovered

right, does that make sense?

fluctuated so wildly between "everything i write is so out of character" and "i'm the only one that understands this character" that i'm in shrodinger's self-hatred

dragons pair bond for life
elementals are violent about the things they claim belong to them

i am thinking about this

my brain refuses to let me go back to doing msq until i control the bees, so this is my lot in life for the next week or so, i think.

i neeeeed to read detco to prepare for book club, but i also desperately need to put my brain to rights

so over the last couple days i've written almost as much as the last thing, except it's not even close to done yet, and also. nsfw.

so to satisfy my brain, i'm posting an out of context excerpt

i was looking for something entirely different on my old xiv twitter, and found this instead. this is probably still true tbh.

morpho! i sort of conceptualize butterflies as a physical manifestation of the elemental dwelling within her, and the whole metamorphosis thing embodying the change she underwent (once as child, once in shb) with regards to the elemental.
a light #wolqotd :

do you have a "canon" minion for your wol that they actually keep around with them through the msq? if so, which minion and how does it play into your wol's story?

that's been on my mind all day but i am always embarrassed about my delulus

i should be less embarrassed about my delulus

haurchefant is a... very interesting character to try to conceptualize for a wol that has no overt romantic or sexual interest in him whatsoever.

outside of that, as a player of xiv, i find g'raha's poetic waxings to be more easily handwaved than whatever the fuck haurchefant had going on in jp

i've already talked a little about how i'd been trying to figure out a wolship for a while now, and had character dynamics with y'shtola or kan-e i wanted to expand upon, but it never seemed to work out naturally in any way.
XIV community, talk to me.

It's easy to say who you ship your OC with, but tell me how you came to your pairing. What ideas were going through your head when you made it?

(Note: this question is based on your thoughts and feelings, if you get upset, that's on you.)

questionable anatomy aside, i just wanted to concretely visualize what i thought the aether trails would look like. i wanted to try to base it off something, and the meridians seemed like a good enough option. so, that, with a bunch of artistic liberties lmao
