ready to hear the collective sigh of relief amongst my friends that my lala phase is over tomorrow

something about the return of bunboy always seems to put the fictional universe back into balance and i haven't quite figured that one out yet

An AO3 Screenshot with a General Audience Rating and one archive warning around graphic violence, for a final fantasy xiv fic with the Warrior of Light and G'raha Tia for WoLG'raha week 2025. It shares the summary of the published fic for Day two, for which the prompt is Hurt/Comfort. The warriors of light in this fic are ones of a Co-WoL Universe, Kae-il Oronir and Baron Fulke, who are Bonded Partners. It is warned that this fic will contain spoilers from an Endwalker quest, In from the Cold.

The snow fell quickly and heavily. The sky remained thick with grey clouds of snow, obscuring any and every celestial body from view. With the brightness of the snow beneath the grey skies, the light of night and day remained the same. There was no knowing the time that passed from the world around them, and they could not bear to count their heartbeats to try to guess. It was what they heard first that told them they'd actually made it. There were many things they had feared hearing, but they had not expected what made this stomach drop, twist, and churn; Their voice. Notes: Kae is They/Them, Primarily nonverbal and uses sign. In the fic, signing is denoted by italics with double quotation whereas thought is denoted by italics and single quotation.

I unironically love how often and casually my partner makes a fucking liar out of me...

exhibit a: their day2 wol/g'raha fic

i owe them a gpose for finishing this! I believe i am, as the kids say, cooked...

a screenshot of the Classes/Jobs tab of a FFXIV character panel. It shows 5 lists of jobs types: Tank, Healer, Melee DPS, Pys Ranged DPS, and Mag Ranged DPS. The only jobs left to level to 100 are Dark Knight (72), Scholar/Summoner(72), Astrologian(67), Dragoon(73), and Black Mage(75)

in a shocking twist of events i think i'm going to max all of my tank jobs before my healers? so that's neat

I've very much taken a "it's gonna happen when it happens" approach to job leveling and only doing it when it seems like fun. Except scholar. Fuck scholar.

the only "intimate" moment my WoL has ever had with G'raha Tia was punching him in the face so hard that you could hear rock candy hitting stone tile for malms around

(spoilers I guess? iykyk)

Baron had a bit of a cranky phase in SHB, poor lad. He really missed his partner.

I love that my partner is a WoL G'raha shipper so much because it gives them so many new and interesting ways to hurt my feelings with their wordsmithing

a true delight

it was swallowed by a restful night's sleep, it would seem. alas, I am no match for the tired sleepy 😔

blah blah blah nuance, but, I'm thrice over my character limit so ✂️

anyway, errands time, ta

and then on top of what little education we do have being almost completely non-functional for most learning types, we've been constantly defunding it since we found out that we could! no arts or sciences, only sportsball and 'murica

source: i was a student in rural Ohio between 1997 and 2010

education hasn't been educational hardly ever or at all here in the United States with the exception of some higher education and advanced trades. People aren't taught how to learn or to create. they're taught to absorb, regurgitate, sit up straight, and fall in line

it's fun and cathartic to drag people on the internet for using chatgpt and not being able to create* without it

but at some point we have to examine the fundamental problem with our educational foundations that got us here

or the fact that we don't ... really have any...

Three panel comic. First panel is a featureless cartoon person sitting it a desk with a drawing tablet, happily saying "time to draw". Second panel is of the same person leaning close into the tablet screen, with a clock behind them, the pen laying on their desk, and three dots next to their head. The third panel shows the person and tablet from behind, with a screenshot of an empty digital art canvas. He asks "time to draw?" and in parenthesis at the bottom it says it has been 6 hours. Comic by Breadsticc Art.

it's one of those days I suppose

Been fighting myself all morning not to share and give attention to really BS news articles that support the destruction of our planet in some way, so instead I'm going to share this:

Did you know there is a company that sails organic and biodynamic food on ships with pre-industrial designs?

oh wtf 🤬

Free online vector editor & procedural design tool Open source free software. A vector graphics creativity suite with a clean, intuitive interface. Opens instantly (no signup) and runs locally in a browser. Exports SVG, PNG, JPG.

i tried graphite.rs a couple weeks and ago and it's a really promising little project for browser based vector design. open source, no login, saves files locally, has a lot of nice procedural tools and a good roadmap ahead of them..

still uses CPU to render instead of GPU though :/

evolution of the ffxiv community

in fact, it makes me froth at the mouth a little bit

just make a fucking party finder and stay on your own goddamn homeworld and it will work itself out, sweet menphina

the aether raider pipeline has me coming unglued I am so fucking irate about this game rn

this whole "you have to join a discord and fill out a questionnaire to be maybe put into a queue where you can consider being picked to join some random fuck in forked tower of blood while they mouth breath callouts into a vc and we wipe at the same prog point anyway" has to be my least favorite --

you are so right and you should say it louder

there's also a wallpaper that captures this effect but idr the name of it off the top. it's deep blue with gold embellishments

today is *going* to be a good day 🔪

the only acceptable use of AI is testing how quickly I can block your ass when I see you using it

period

if this is rage bait, it worked

very disappointing to see this coming from you
and I bet if you parse a few of those sentences into AO3 or other blog sites you could find the exact fic this AI stole from to "write" you this trash

do better

like i'm not even suggesting real working effort, but just sharing other people's ko-fi's and stressing the need to get them off a toxic nazi platform for like a skeet or two would probably go a really long way

i've already seen examples of this working in real time with independent journalists!

anyone on bluesky with a platform to spare could be really helping our community right now by helping independent writers build an alternate platform so that they can move away from substack

idk i just think maybe it's everyone's responsibility to help cleanse our community of fascism
