I think one of my favorite pretend details in a fantasy world like FFXIV is that many people probably find Hyur-esque little ears charming...so small and round...

LRP the delicious unpacked horror of calebmc's background is catnip to me specifically. Give it to me

Not Sorry for Loving You -
"I love you. But not in the way that you want me to."

"I hate that I fell in love with you.
Why did I fall in love with you.
What do I do with this love for you."

alphi and g'raha look at lala, who is holding up a piece of paper. g'raha gives a thumbs up.

lala, holding her drawing, which is of a very flirty alphinaud who appears to be making a kissy face with twinkle stars.

wide shot of the three of them.

"It is a great likeness, is it not, Alphinaud? She's so very talented!"

"You pay me a great compliment indeed, darling."

Alphinuad wonders if he has ever made that face in his life but he is not about to ask.

I'm crying at Raha being so supportive lmaoooo

Illustration of a redhead woman clutching a piece of white clothing against her naked body, hunched over and in shock. Blood covers her hand and lower body as something faintly immaterial is striking through her chest.

you're a wound in the force

Izzie's Ancient is Diana -- mostly because I enjoyed the themes of Artemis for her, but Diana being her Roman name reflected instead her outsider status.

I recently considered changing it to Brigid (oft red-haired goddess of poets and blacksmiths and spring, among others). Haven't yet lol.

it has the same cheesy 'its not x. its y' construction CONSTANTLY as some kind of standin for a mc-drop moment of insight (it's shit)

our work guidelines state people are not allowed to use AI for oped submissions and we still are finding that shit. people just DO NOT get it. yes even you drafting with chatgpt and then editing it is NOT ALLOWED. if you want to thought lead, think actual fucking thoughts. god.

i love how this reminds us that Eorzea is legit kind of a backwater place BUT IT'S OUR BACKWATER PLACE...you know!!!

“We left because we learned what all colonizers who come here learn: that this is a bitter place, a miserable continent, hostile and cruel and unbidden to the wills of outside infrastructures,” Y’shtola says. It is a neutral, flat statement; not challenging the doomed intent of Sharlayan, but not flattering it either. “The only people who might grow to love Eorzea are those with the unfortunate circumstance of having been born here.” Alphinaud is silent beside her. It is unnerving to see a boy once so eager to speak his mind now always on the cusp of biting back his tongue. “…You were, you know,” Alphinaud says. “Born here, I mean. Even if it was in a colony.” “Aye.” Y’shtola looks out over the vista at a grand, abandoned city she cannot and will never see again. She makes the pantomime of glancing back to Alphinaud, lest he catch on to the reality she is not yet keen to disclose to him. “As were you.”

This isn’t long enough to port to AO3 so I’m just going to repost the little thing I wrote during Alphinaud and Y’shtola’s Heavensward patches roadtrip. It’s funny reading it now having learned the full context of their backstories, haha.

AI is the “asbestos of the internet”

I just want you to imagine izzie during all of these interactions lmaooooooo

comic Jullus approaches Alphi, who is standing in the snow outside Camp Broken Glass. Jullus: "I thought I might find you out here." Alphi: "Jullus...!"

comic Jullus and Alphi stand in the snow, their arms crossed, talking as they look over the ceruleum field. Alphinaud. "Forgive me. I do not mean to be so melancholy. Nor do I wish to add to the burden you already bear. I did not expect this separation to be so trying as it is proving to be. I spent a year away from her on the First. I thought, 'surely this could not be as bad'."

comic Jullus and Alphi stand in the snow, their arms crossed, talking as they look over the ceruleum field. Jullus: "Except she was not your wife when you were on the First. Things have changed now. You have changed now. You return from Tural not only a Warrior of Light and some sort of moon god, but a husband besdies."

comic Jullus and Alphi stand in the snow, their arms crossed, talking as they look over the ceruleum field. Jullus: "Women have a way of changing us, whether we realize it or even ask for it. When I first met you, you held a torch for her, though you were not aware of the depth of your feelings at the time. When you came back, you had accepted your feelings, though you believed she did not return them. But you could not let them go."

the garlean restoration sitcom continues +
