i am no longer asking, you WILL look at my lizard

lahabrea i understand you now

It might not even be related to XIV at all. Could be a dark web type selling DDoS as a service and hitting a big, public target like an MMO is just how they demonstrate their capacity

i do think its very fun that everyone in the msq (especially those in positions of power) thinks of the wol as their little hydrogen bomb that they can throw at ppl whenever they see fit and there is very little concern about the possibility of them getting injured. maybe the drk questline was right

Stormblood will forever have a special place in my heart for daring to present problems for which there were no perfect solutions.

it is so insane to see the current patches talk abt a populace radicalized by their avoidance of difficult subjects. and then watch the fandom & the story continuously tip toe into perfect resolutions so no nations are in conflict, no innocent person suffers from tempering, aether sickness, etc, etc

Gotta say: I've seen that "I wish WOL would get hurt more" post many times this week, and every time I vividly recall the mid-Heavensward backlash over WOL getting hurt "too much." Especially the posts/vids/"discussions" about how WOL getting drugged was uniquely "unsafe" for marginalized players.

we could've had it all...

Bringing back subsurface scattering for au ra horns

bug a salt in classic yellow

turtel can i introduce you to the bug a salt. it's like a flyswatter, if flyswatters were little shotguns that shoot table salt. i got one and it has drastically improved my spider-hunting experiences

Sphene and Calyx drawn in the style of Dexter's Laboratory, with the title 'Calyx's Laboratory' beneath them. A tall, widely smiling Sphene (specifically Simulant Sphene) is sitting atop Calyx's head as he looks to the viewers with an irritated expression, one hand balled into a fist and the other holding his tablet.

"Sphene, get out of my laboratory!" 💢

In the leadup to 7.0 they mentioned wanting to do a CC overhaul at some point after the graphics update... fingers crossed

it's true the best part of making blorbos is traumatizing them

i think she would be very normal about owning knives

more like cake-i amirite

big tail identified... peak au ra design

i desperately need the world to understand that y’shtola is not the mom of the scions. she is the wine aunt. the mom is urianger.

IT'S LUNA TUESDAY

Lho'to is good-looking in the way that people who take care of themselves are. Clean, fit, confident. He does have the nicest hair of all the Scions though (Y'shtola annoyed she can never get her tail as full and glossy as his)

TMW you're the only Au Ra in the party

anyone else ever think about how emet-selch was such an insufferable theatre kid as solus that his grandkid banned theatre in garlemald

"character casually reveals they are an expert on subject nobody thought they had even heard of" is such a delicious trope. yeah give that blorbo unexpected depths. force everyone else to reevaluate everything they think they know about them

Impresario: "Not so long ago, our ultimate goal was to drown this realm in blackest night and usher in a long-coveted legend among my kind: the Night of Devilry, where our leader, the Great Gourd, would rise again and strike terror into the hearts of men. But as a few voidsent compatriots have recently taught us, there lies a reward even sweeter than mortal fear. One that fills our hearts and satiates our souls─gratitude! One taste, they said, and we would be unable to deny the fulfillment it brought us. Thus, the Circus abandoned its malevolent ambitions to pursue honeyed words of appreciation instead."

I am sometimes uncharitable towards ffxiv's narrative but "you see, we voidsent celebrate halloween because it fuels our praise kink" is the kind of writing you simply won't find anywhere else

Like the literal, actual plot of Copperbell Mines is that a billionaire's mining company is paying you to murder slaves because they are violently resisting their captors. And the narrative says it's ok because they're not legally people!

It's all fucked but I don't think SE is ever going to change
