Congratulations. You've unlocked the next stage of friendship. You are now eligible to receive copious random lore drops about my characters and made up worlds

happy end of ace week from your local cryptid ace artist 🖤🩶🤍💜

my attention was grabbed in 2.0, the titan fight into the waking sands moment, but that was mostly for oc story investment as a hook. nidhogg tho made me pause and just go "holy fuck"

Final Steps of Faith, the slow walk up to nidhogg. it made me break out the /gpose function properly for the first time and really take in the theatrics and framing of the moment, the story

happy ace week 😈🤍🩶🖤

Ideal conditions for starting your passion project will never come. You will never feel skilled enough to make it. There will never be a moment where you stop being scared to start. Do it anyway. Do it badly. Do it scared. Just make that thing that’s clawing at the door of your soul; It wants out.

hey. do not. DO NOT. describe your poc characters as "exotic"

Happy Asexual Awareness Week to all my fellow Aces!

May you always feel loved, know that you matter and you're not broken!

Happy celebrations, friends!

🫳 #OurUnendingJourney 39: Somebody Else

Read on Namicomi

went on the usual 4:30pm cact train today, was quick and ez, nice even

logged in for hide n seek, checked out the ihnuxokiy spawn, immediately saw lots of "go back to aether" snapping in shout chat. lovely.

catch me ignoring weekend S rank days bc i'm not dealing with everyone biting each other for accidental/purposeful/trolling early pulls and aether + primal players going for the throat

This one scary, very tall elf who is so chill with murder is soft for one (1) undead fox ❤️

(tho some folks are of the opinion that primal is where some of the outcasts go, ie. ppl being kicked out of RP spaces elsewhere or raiding rejects from aether. my opinion is that hunt jackasses have DC travel, you will find them anywhere now.)

can't speak for much of aether's hunters behind the scenes, but there isn't a lot of chatter about primal other than remarking on the 5m pull time as "oh they're strict" and being concerned about how frequently and freely primal resets their S ranks.

there's a general disdain toward aether to the point where anyone moving there from primal goes "yeah i've heard x and y about their hunt scene, should i even try, etc. etc." it's just faster paced and less forgiving, you have to learn you won't make it to every S rank

1am addition, re: primal & aether snipping at each other. i sometimes get noticed in aether trains or crowds, haven't gotten anything more than a "haha p-mal" jab. some aether hunters got snarled at in the crossfire when there was an aether EPer making primal *and* crystal crowds upset last week

recently did a dynamis dawntrail S rank train but only managed 2 marks + an SS, called it a night bc it was 1:30am and they were each taking 14m bc folks didn't understand the pyretic debuff

oh wait, smth about how dynamis can and will have an hours long queue of S ranks ready to be pushed to public announcements...... i did one (1) hunt there as an aether resident, took 14-15 min to gather folks and kill a *stormblood* S rank, told myself it wasn't worth the time

anyways welcome to my hunt rambling, i love the hunt but it's been A Time watching primal and aether snip at each other behind locked channels since i'm still in the cactuar resident channels (and the contributor server) + now in the primal spawner lounge lmao,,,,

i don't really recall the hunt culture on crystal anymore, just that mateus' regular conductors kinda disappeared before i moved to aether and i only recognized train regulars, maybe a few S rank crowd regulars? still, 3m, don't reset if u can, ignore and don't say Diavolo's name, etc.

but their general attitude is that if you want to hunt, you'll be in hunt mode ready to sprint to that S rank, or you'll be spawning it yourself. if smth is early pulled, hold damage until 3m or the pull time comes along, and then go all in. kill it, move on, there are always more S ranks.

i respect the slightly more social aspect of primal's hunters, the intent to include others with their longer wait times, but i'm ngl i prefer the quick response, quick kill times on aether. complaints were present, yes, often from travelers who didn't make it to the mark.

like,,,, my blacklist from primal shout chat is just as long as the names i collected in two years of aether hunting, and its a matter of "angry, shouting, complaining, witch hunting hunt attendees" vs "Early Puller of the Month / 'git gud' jackass mindset"

resets on aether + crystal, rare, only for protecting sprouts or group spawns, risk a ban if a troll is vindictive enough. resets on primal? saw like, a dozen in my first week as a resident and was baffled. barring contributors, primal shout chat is also... really rough when smth is early pulled.

3m, 5m, or spawner pref across DCs. primal and aether tend to not understand and uh, say unkind things about each other in their respective hubs. (aether being seen as "lawless" and primal as "strict", even among their hunt contributors) i've been out of touch on crystal too long to recall oops

coming back to this later as a hunter with s rank announcement permissions and i'm jotting down what i know about each DC's etiquette and hrm
