Highlight a FFXIV blog with an OC who has a really compelling backstory. :)

One????

FFFFFFFFFFF-

They're like Pringles, I can't stop with just one.

@sealrock has ... so much backstory to Paris and their family. Just... so much lore... I'm annoyed at the fact it's not laid out in novel format for me to read. *taps foot impatiently* [Also shout out to my eternal beloved, Kirke.]

@ahollowgrave's Odette is another character with enough backstory to provide me with at least a solid trilogy. Which I am waiting. for.

@riftdancing and @gatheredfates need to give me Siyoh and Azuma's stories as an interweaving narrative. They can each write a couple of chapters. [Another shout out to my other eternal beloveds, Z and Blink]

@notorious-sparrow ... okay look, I love Yein ( @iron-sparrow's main) and Yein is Our Beloved. However, I am deeply curious about Sacheo and I want a book. Now.

@rylen-ashworth is okay, I guess. (<3 gotta needle you, my dude) And he's written a character with a solid backstory that actually affects how the character acts in daily life, which I find particularly rare in RP communities. (Trauma, yeah, people reflect that, but also how does their backstory affect how they interact with others on a friendly basis? Etc.)

@shroudkeeper / @gentlekami needs to deliver a trilogy to my desk on Kikyo within the week, thank you. I need to read novels about her.

@luck-and-larceny and @dumb-hat also need to deliver a trilogy to me about Malika and Evander, with additional overlaying chapters. I particularly want one that's Malika editing Evander's written memoirs of things they did together.

...okay I'm really going over my limit so...

@faustinebellamy and @argentrenard and @kestrelvylbrand and @gray-morality and @this-is-ris

...and @justatheo...

okay there I'll shut up now

... What if Pariah Dark was a giant kinda like other extremely powerful ghosts in the series? Sorry I just can't stop thinking about the image of a giant castle and Danny waking up in a giant bed because the Crown sensed his distress at being possibly vulnerable with his parents around and spirited him away automatically to what is now his Lair as he was sleeping. Immense confusion some hilarity and a bit of sadness.... Just how I like it.

I have recently acquired this "rabbit" and we can't decide what to name her. She is a Jersey Wooly and everything in the world sticks to her fur.

She looks like shit right now but don't worry I'm brushing her every couple days and making sure she has plenty to eat. When I rescued her she was matted and a little under weight, but that's all being taken care of.

Animal crossing and ROTTMNT crossover — ???

[hoss-bonaventure]

nat and jackie’s relationship drives me NUTS! you’re telling me that nat was the one who buried her bones? the one who wrapped her so delicately in cloth and carried her across feet of snow just to make sure she’s at rest? the one who sat down with her in the wreckage of the plane and give her the most meaningful sendoff she could’ve gotten? nat didn’t NEED jackie the way those girls did. they way they wanted her was carnivorous and clinical, one-sided. they ripped away her sanctity, her autonomy, her literal flesh. they feasted on her and tore her from shred to shred because even in death, jackie gives. nat didn’t NEED to put jackie at rest, but she did because she knows what’s it’s like. after all, isn’t nat also just a pile of bones in the middle of the forest, just giving and giving and giving? nat didn’t NEED to give jackie that good-bye, but she did cause she’s a giver and a lover and she knows that’s going to kill her the way it killed jackie.

One thing we do not give Midoriya enough credit for is training to be a hero while someone he admired was watching. he had to go from normal nerdy teenager to OFA user & hero school hopeful in like ten months while his idol was literally right there critiquing his every move. have you ever tried to do anything ever while someone you admired was watching you? this truly was my anxiety academia

Redd will never stop being the absolute funniest Animal Crossing character to me. It's illegal how underrated he is. He's got either a londoner or new yorky accent depending on how you read it. His logo is a blatant ripoff of Tom Nook's. He's fuzzy. He wears nothing but an apron. He's a bastard. He's clever. He's amazing at art. He does not utilise this talent in a genuine way. He painted the Mona Lisa at least 5 times but with angry eyebrows and no other change. He went to art school. He's divorced from Tom Nook. He has a million cousins. His old colleague now works for his ex instead. He lives on a boat. He has to hide said boat from Tom. He doesn't even know if half his art is real or fake. He's a kitsune with no powers so is essentially just a normal fox. He recreated an entire stone tablet and the only thing he changed was he made it bright blue. Blathers hates him. He's an enemy of the state. He openly admitted he was crazy before realising that was a bad sales technique. He replaced the adjective with 'jolly'. In old games people were blatantly racist against him being a fox. He has the same criminal motivation as Nick Wilde. His name is just the colour of his fur. His password is a spiteful jab at his ex. He's REDD.

He's just so damn FUNNY.

What I think Miseinen does well that we don't get to see a lot is the equivalent level of emotional and physical desire between Haruki and Jin and how they interplay and intertwine.

For Haruki his true interest starts with the kindness Jin shows. It sparks something in Haruki to get to experience this. It's heartbreaking to know he hasn't truly felt cared for before. And that kindness made Haruki yearn to be close to Jin in a way that was clearly new for him.

I saw someone list out on mdl how Haruki tested Jin's boundaries presenting it in a negative way. And when put without context I can see why someone would feel that way. It's not for everyone, but this kind of push and pull feels so realistic for people who are not used to expressing themselves with words, especially if they are newly experiencing these types of feelings, especially when it's clearly confusing for each of them that they are both men.

The second kiss is really when Haruki goes over Jin's boundaries and he apologies and promises to step back, but when they come together again, Jin has experienced Haruki's absence as well and discovered he doesn't like it.

So the promise although made, quickly disintegrates between them because they are speaking in other ways.

All throughout their story they trade in gestures - acts of service - wound tending, inviting Haruki to come to Jin's place, Haruki smelling nice for Jin, Haruki showing Jin the movie he wanted to see and sharing other movies with him, Jin inviting Haruki to the film screening, Haruki taking care of Jin when he's sick, Jin giving Haruki a gift in return.

All these scream "I think about you" in a way neither of them are used to experiencing. They're both isolated via violence or neglect. No one is choosing them. But they are choosing each other.

When Haruki pulls Jin down on him in his excitement after Jin invited him to the screening he asks "Am I being seduced?" This could be interpreted as simply because Jin has fallen on him and they have that tropey moment when Haruki is flirting, but I take it as being actually sincere, more fueled by this feeling of being chosen that he has never experienced before.

So yeah, Haruki has clearly been trying to seduce Jin, but from Haruki's point of view, everything Jin has done has been a seduction and drawn Haruki to him.

And I really liked how that's played out so far. The emotional center is so strong and earned. I can't wait to see the next episode.

I need someone to make one of those cozy 3-hour ASMR ambiance videos with the comforting crackling of a fireplace, raindrops tapping on a window, the occasional thunder rumble in the distance… and the muffled sounds of the Loumand fight through the wall.
