alex playing FFXIV

i genuinely feel like thancred and urianger are less gay for each other and more lifebonded in the sense that both is absolutely convinced that the other would immediately die within 10 minutes of being without him

bonus estinien:

estinien: come with me. into an empty bedroom. and close the door

y'shtola: something must be wrong

urianger: something must be wrong

thancred: hot

y'shtola: i'm playing hard to get. i'm desirable. i'm a challenge. i'm worth the effort

urianger: she hateth me

thancred: oh yeah she's pissed

urianger: now hath i stared significantly at mine object of affection for near half a bell, adoringly, so as to conveyeth mine heartfelt intentions

y'shtola: urianger must be thinking really hard he's zoning out

thancred: fuck what'd i do now he's glaring

thancred: i would absolutely have sex with you

y'shtola: ugh so he definitely doesn't want to have sex with me

urianger: what couldst he meaneth by this

tonight's topic of nonsense discussion:

scion polycule but everyone has a different love language so they're all signaling availability and thinking they're being rejected

the real reason we need to bridge the gap between the Source and the First is because Ryne deserves to go to Sharlayan and make literally everyone uncomfortable AND THEN reveal that Thancred is her dad, which only adds to the discomfort

god i miss shadowbringers so much

I think for soloing purposes I'm happiest doing up through about floor 60, mostly just because I like opening chests and hunting the Hoard, so having the ability to just run 71-100 when I want to get BOOKS is really, really nice honestly!

First personal clear of Pilgrim's Traverse achieved tonight!

something something skelly joke i guess

"did you go buy the moonward bident specifically so that you could go running around with gigaros" I SURE DID

the path up through tartarus is looking a little different than usual...

back on my #hades bullshit for the #ffxiv halloween event!

* this is not meant to be read as a cutesy "oh he's oblivious to how gorgeous he is" way. He hates being perceived (it comes with his long history of being a fantasy terrorist engaged in guerilla warfare) and gets defensive and wary when people stare at him (because of how hot he is).

Summer falls vaguely on the "cute" side of average, but people tend to perceive her as more attractive than she objectively is because she's manipulative about how people perceive her.

Niko is the exact opposite, jawdroppingly handsome without effort and constantly baffled by people thinking so*

Matching couples costumes with Thankwehd the chocobo!

relevant to both your pursuits

"fashion some sturdy leather sacks" I AM A CARPENTER

the thing I feel like it's important to emphasize is that Niko being hot has absolutely nothing to do with me wanting other characters to find him attractive. His hotness is the fourth most important thing about his character AT BEST. It is an afterthought. It is an "oh yeah, and".

Every so often I forget how hot Niko is and then I load up his account to do one of the FFXIV holiday events or put some levels on one of his off-classes and I just. WHEW. No wonder everyone he encounters want to jump his bones because DAMN.

AND FIX HIS FUCKING FACE

remember 6.4 when Thancred resurfaced for 30 seconds, tanked one dungeon, had Urianger tell Zero that she should flirt with him, did not in fact flirt with Zero, was a wifeguy about the WOL, foreshadowed Koana, and then vanished again?

i'd say "good times" but that was shit actually GIVE ME MY BOY

in other news i'm bringing this back to try to manifest Yoshi-P putting Thancred in 7.4 to foreshadow 8.0's plot somehow

IT HAS ONCE AGAIN BEEN LIKE TWO YEARS MY CROPS ARE WITHERING MY FIELDS ARE BARREN LET ME SEE MY BOY

this is so lazy it's actually comical

Dawntrail just don't give a single solitary fuck does it

OKAY SURE I'LL JUST SEW THESE BOARDS TOGETHER I GUESS

WITH MY NEEDLE

BECAUSE I AM CLASSED AS A WEAVER RIGHT NOW

[yok huy allied society spoilers]

homie i am classed into WVR right now i am honored that you think so highly of my skills but what the FUCK do you think i'm going to do with A SEWING NEEDLE towards this effort

just gonna STITCH YOU UP SOME SOUP TUREENS i guess?????

i hope he trolls aymeric on the regular, preferably while he's drinking tea next to some important government documents, like HEY HOW'S MY DAD'S FAVORITE SON DOING

hilarious move by artoriel would be going "bet" and abdicating his title after he gets a taste of how much it sucks to be in the House of Lords so he just straight up retires and foists it off on us anyway

now a moogle shows up every expac asking us to vote on a public works project or some shit

A picture of a field in Wolekdorf in Il Mheg. Three figures, viewed from behind in a line, look out over the field. One has a frog head, is dressed in a dapper suit, and sits on a rainbow leafman. The second has a frog head and pink pixie wings. The third wears a long gown and pink butterfly wings. The second and third are entreating dark forces with the malevolence emote. The mood of the image is whimsical yet wistful.

the correct way to do Deep Dungeon is as fae creatures entreating dark forces to enable them maliciously in their schemes
