Ethrya Swiftstep is on the 🌙

may your suffering end, when it goes cool in there it goes COOL

We got so many kick-outs with no fakeout I was starting to think it didn't HAVE a fakeout

pain

I love the internet because it means community in so many ways but you have to actively choose to engage with your brain on, not just tune out & only skim the surface or assume everything you read/hear is right because someone says it loudly. do not offload critical thinking, that's THE core of YOU!

the #1 thing you can do to improve your own media literacy is never assume your own interpretation of something is The Valid Read. discuss it and turn it over and look at all the facets. frankly this is good advice for understanding ANYTHING. do not assume you are fully informed & you can learn MUCH

"ffxiv said dying is good I don't get it" twelve help

every once in a while I see a subreddit thread about what someone thinks the themes of part of the FFXIV story are and every time I regret it. the level of confidence people have in their minimal media literacy is sometimes kinda terrifying

IT KINDA IS

FFXIV screenshot of a lalafell riding a Yan mount in a volcanic area. "The Promise of Tomorrow" patch logo is in the bottom right.

Oh my god??????

FFXIV screenshot of a lalafell white mage player raising their cane, facing down Zelenia, a large feminine robot knight wielding a huge sword. Light pillars frame them with stone palace windows behind. The patch logo "Seekers of Eternity" appears in the bottom right.

I love taking these kinds of shots though I can never share them until later.

as a trans person one small thing you can do to protect me from jk rowling is not show me every piece of inane violence she spews

mine is blacklisted but I hope he blows up ten thousand materia trying to pentameld every single time

IT SURE DO

the most important thing you can do for yourself in life might just be finding some other people who feel like they can't people right in almost the exact same way you feel it and then you just all love each other really hard. there is nothing else like found family

The ray minion is fishing 😩 Ethrya is good at fishing but I, the player, am miserably unlucky!!

...you don't have to call me out like that...

‪Someone commented that this ray is female, so I looked up how, and to make a long story short I hope Big Man Splatoon had a nice pride month

I hope they print some more, it was already tricky to find!!

FFXIV MTG playmat featuring red, blue, and purple illustration of Hades, Sorcerer of Eld in his transformed state.

FFXIV MTG playmat featuring Emet-Selch with a manic grin gesturing widely with the shade of the city of Amaurot behind him.

the double-sided playmat goes RIDICULOUSLY hard

Congrats!!

FFXIV screenshot deep in the Palace of the Dead. Two lalafell players approach a room with just a single barren tree and a mindflayer standing beneath it, looking almost contemplative.

he's just hanging out. thinkin

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

FFXIV shot of two lalafell in black in front of the Crystal Tower. The left one is looking up at it while the right one is looking at their companion. Text framing the shot is placed like a movie advertisement and reads: "Beneath the Crystal Tower, an ever-changing adventure awaits" "Eureka Orthos" "Ethrya Swiftstep as Red Mage" "Vinalo Mabunalo as Warrior" "The Duo Descends March 7th, 2023"

I had so much fun with this couple years ago and we ARE doing it again.

wanna see a character or some art where they have top scars like mine (one long one, all the way across. no nips not required but gets bonus points)

FFXIV screenshot of two lalafell players looking at each other happily at night in Kugane with the city behind them. The left one holds a red and black parasol, while the right one has a broad white hat and black and red samurai armor with a sword. The shot has a white border with curved-in corners and the FFXIV logo at the middle bottom.

🏮 Night over Kugane 🏮
with @catmonkshiro.bsky.social before he goes back to Miqo'te!

this is so wild, my place just sends 'em in a looooong outer box

i want to make up for all the love you never thought that you deserved.

FFXIV screenshot of a lalafell white mage holding the first stage of the Dawntrail relic weapon for their job. They're seen from the side, balancing it almost vertically on one hand against a blurry backdrop of stone structures and large trees. The patch logo, "Seekers of Eternity", is in the bottom right corner.

FINALLY

The official car is TOO GOOD I stg. The little one is by @MarsaOvO.bsky.social, I had it thrust upon me a few Anthrocons ago :'D
