Tini and her allies defend South Tidegate in Limsa.

Tini and her Warrior buddies: Eynzahr, Broken Mountain, Curious Gorge and Whiskaet.

Four huge Roegadyn...and one tiny Lalafell warrior. 🤣

She's so...small. It's so hilarious, I love it.

Spookytober Snippet (1): Rachel's Revenge. Rachel wakes up in a strange place, not knowing where she is or what time it is. What will she do? A preview of a horror short story. Post is up now in my prose blog, The Coffeehouse.

Morroyo loves new cultures and getting to know people from different places. He will ask a lot of questions about language, customs, cuisine, etc.

He's been technically retired since the end of base EW, but he couldn't resist the chance to go back to Tural. (He's been there before).

**HIGH PITCHED SCREAMING**

Reading Rainbow emphasis is encouraging kids to read. The focus is not on teaching them to read. The mission is reading should be fun!

We are all readers, worthy of literacy. LeVar Burton said “but you don’t have to take my word for it” because he wanted us to look to the books. That’s the beauty 💚

Never drew a lalafel before, so had to correct that😣

Morroyo and Tenzen combine their might against Koryu.

The Samurai and the Mage

Tenzen and Morroyo

Reincarnations side by side? The whole Four Lords questline seems to imply so. For Morroyo's lore, this could explain his affection/interest for Far East.

North: AVOID

Instincts #avoid threat
yet some actively seek it
so they feel alive

South: SEEDLINGS

#seedlings fight their way
to feel the sun, wind and rain
shiver in the cold

The oracle tossed a handful into the #bonefire. The flames devoured the knuckles like a greedy pet. Red and yellow flares rose, formed a hand, then dispersed just at quickly.

"You must act. Do not delay. All hangs in the balance, hero. Do not stay cowardly, or all will be lost."

Three in the morning
#abitingwind sweeps through
bears shiver in long sleep
the last of shriveled leaves
whirled away to far lands
the raven caws
as it locates its new lair
and lands at
the top of my house.

Tini and some Lala pals hanging out in Mor Dhona.

Tini and some lala friends have a dance circle in Mor Dhona. 🕺

Illustration with G'raha Tia and Raih'a playing classical instruments. G'raha is sitting in a chair with a trombone, as depicted on the official vinyl cover, and Raih'a is standing with a stylized dizi.

What I learned from this is that the trombone is extremely difficult to draw. 🤣 #wolgraha

Tini, her Great White Tschuninoko and her pint-sized chocobo, Chickobee.

It's been a rough day today, starting with a visit to the dentist (never fun) and dealing with all sorts of family headaches. I have a few comfort characters in FFXIV. Morroyo is one of them.

Tini's another one. She's my comfort potato. I can just do Heavensward MSQ and not deal with roulette.

Alphinaud: "Enough! Enough, I say! If the Gnath have truly brought forth their deity from the aether, we must face it together or watch our hopes fall apart! All now rests upon this primal's defeat." Tini: "YEAH, WHAT HE SAID!"

Tini (sort of) speedruns through Heavensward:

Tini ends up on the most headache-inducing road trip...ever. She wonder how Alphinaud ends up being the voice of reason here.

Also Tini: "How to do I get here...without flying???" It's weird having to find aether currents again...

The staff glowed with an evil pulse that went deep into its core. The #hexwood looked like liquid glass, topped with a dark purple orb with a ruby red fire within. The light drew the eye, mesmerized the mind in a trance.

And it was mine.
