#Mei Mei plays FFXIV

[gamenu]

Fuck, and I cannot stress that enough, alarm pheromones.

[feliciadraws]

I might not be playing it, but since @mikanashii and I are both screaming about FFXIV right now, I had a go at designing my own would-be Warrior of Light character! And here she is! Her name is Lila Dawnefyre, and although she often gets mistaken for a spellcaster because of her glasses, she is actually a paladin! A native to Ul'Dah, while she's technically a squire, she still trains under the Sultansworn, in between being an adventurer of course. She's kind, sweet and breezy in nature, but on the battlefield she is an absolute lioness and never hesitates to protect her allies, and she can and will kick your butt if she needs to.

Oh and I also ship her with Haurchefant. Because of course I do.

That video of Cassidy’s magnetic grenade auto-seeking Mei across the map is funny but my Mei muse is just,,

[sunflowers-n-sass]

Wow, it's been a hot minute.

A lot has changed in my life since I last opened tumblr. I mean, my page still said I was 19 for fuck's sake. But I'm back?? Kinda?? I wanna use this as a space for me to be obnoxiously neurodivergent about the things I love but especially music and lyrics I adore.

Sooooo yeah! Hi again! I guess I should reintroduce myself (or introduce myself for the first time if you have no idea who I am).

My name's Ash, I'm a 21 y/o nonbinary lesbian who uses all pronouns from Ontario, Canada. Here's some silly lil facts about me! General Things: ‣ I have 3 pets, two cats (Jasmine and Persia) and a dog (Bowie) ‣ I speak somewhat passable French ‣ I'm neurodivergent! Diagnosed ADHD with suspected touch of the 'tism ‣ I love working in local community theatre ‣ I'm incredibly passionate about mental health ‣ I love learning about things and am incredibly inquisitive by nature ‣ My favourite musicians are Noah Kahan and Hozier by a mile ‣ My favourite game series of all time is Tomb Raider

Overwatch: ‣ My main tank choices are: D.va, Sigma, and Orisa ‣ My main dps choices are: Mei, Bastion, and Widowmaker ‣ My main support choices are: Moira, Mercy, Kiriko, and Illari ‣ I main dps/support, tanking scares me especially in Season 9 ‣ I play very regularly (i have over 400 hours help me) ‣ My current ranks as of writing this are Silver 5 (dps) / Silver 5 (support) but I've been on a horrific loss streak ‣ My peak ranks this season so far are Silver 2 (dps) / Silver 3 (support)

FFXIV ‣ My main's name is Aveline Bontensont ‣ I play on the Crystal DC ‣ I have a toyhouse page for all of Aveline's lore and I will talk about her incessantly if asked

If you've made it this far, thanks for reading all of this. I hope you have a good day! o/

[gutsncookies]

i hate when people say shit like "stop blaming the overwatch team, they're trying too" like ok?? if they put out s6 thinking it was balanced then they're genuinely brain dead. (besides illari her op ass release was, although still shitty, clearly just to earn even more money)

i can't help but compare ow2 to an actual good game, ffxiv, even if there are obvious differences and a game like ffxiv is probably easier to balance than an fps. STILL it's genuinely sad how little effort the ow team puts into balancing the game. they put out useless nerfs that very little people, if any, actually asked for and they never make changes to the heroes that people want them to change or need changes (roadhog) unless it's like super super op. even then it's like a whole season after so u need to play against some shitty meta for such a long time and i understand why ow got horrid ratings on steam. i only play it because certain heroes have play styles that i haven't seen in any other fps.

if there is another fps (doesn't even have to be fps tbh) with gameplay like tracer, sombra, mei, pharah or echo i'd love to know bc i so badly need a game with devs that actually care about the game.

Entry #10: Foster

FFxivWrite2019 Prompt #10: Foster X’unmei hadn’t seen Melfice for quite some time--or heard from him at all, for that matter. And she had been content with the fact for a while, in all honesty. It was true he had looked after her for a time, as close to father as, if not more so than, the Nunh who had sired her. It was true she owed her life to him. It was also true that he had killed her fiance and neglected to tell her the truth at any turn, and that the only reason she had him to thank for her own life was because, rather than rescuing her, he had let her die only revive her as some sort of lab experiment. He’d neglected to tell her that, too. Really, he’d failed to tell her a lot of things. Things were... complicated, to say the least. But she did remember being ill for weeks, confined to her bed with not even Vallois allowed near, and Melfice paying her visits, remaining at her bedside at her request, and even inevitably delivering the antidote to her illness. Perhaps she owed him for that, at the very least. He did always seem so happy to see her. And, conflicted as she was, a part of her enjoyed seeing him, too--especially seeing him happy. And so, she took it upon herself to pay him a visit, entering that familiar home. The state of the foyer in such disarray gave her pause, the Seeker of the Sun momentarily freezing. She remained still for long enough to hear the pitter-patter of little feet upon the marble floors, a sound that certainly didn’t inspire her to move.

What skittered across the hallway was not some eldritch horror (at least, not that Mei could tell), but a giggling little girl with a head of blonde hair and bare feet, gleefully scampering toward Melfice’s study. With the telltale jingle of jewelry, a slightly exasperated looking Shadiyah trailed behind the girl. Both were too focused on their goals at hand to notice X’unmei lingering just inside the door.  “Melly! Melly!” the child’s voice squealed, echoed by a sigh from Shadiyah. The young girl had nearly reached the entry to the study when Shadiyah caught up to her. “Dru, you need to leave him alone. He cannot play right now.” The Keeper of the Moon bent down, scooping the girl up into her arms. “He is busy working.” Mei’s feline ears swiveled toward the study at the sound of a slightly muffled reply. The voice that responded sounded somewhat fatigued, and undeniably belonged to Melfice. “Mm, no, my beloved. I could use a break. Come,” he beckoned, and Shadiyah complied, disappearing into the study with Dru in tow. “How are my girls doing?” X’unmei winced. She didn’t wait to hear an answer before she turned in haste to make her leave. Perhaps he didn’t really need to see her, after all. @which-can-eternal-lie @of-darkness-and-dreams @shadiyah-ffxiv

Getting to know me(me) (again-ish??)

One; Name/alias --

Real name is Nunya Biz, but I go by Infi or Ilma, depending on where folk know me from.

Two; Birthday --

Sep. 1st! I have no idea why the date feels satisfying, but it does.

Three; Zodiac Sign --

Virgo (Aug 23rd to Sep 22nd)

Four; Height --

I have no idea for sure, but apparently around 5 foot 4.

Five; Hobbies --

I have a lot. Besides RP and MMOs, I write fanfiction and original fiction, draw traditional and digital art, sew, collect porcelain dolls and various figures, and I write music as a side pursuit.

Then there's the cooking and baking... Don't get me started on reading. And crochet. And misc. miniature crafting. Or the other video games...

Six; Favorite Colors --

I'd have to say my favorite color of all time is pink. Hot pink, soft pink, pastel pink, neon pink, magenta to salmon... I love pink.

I also love reds and oranges and purples. Blues also come in closely; yellow is a color I'm very much "meh" on. Green... Overall, I'd say I hate it in general terms fjfjshhsjdjfh

Forest green, neon green, or pastel green. Any other greens are greens I Dislike:tm:

Seven; Favorite Books --

I haven't read it in a while, but I remember that I loved "The Cat Who..." series. It was just a fun time. I should read them again...

Warriors was another that I was head over heels for, a while back. Never finished the series, though -- I got to the end of the third arc, read a couple of the extra books, then fell out of reading them.

"The Secret Piano" is also a good book, but it's... Not so much a fiction book than a translated autobiography by Zhu Xiao-Mei. It was a bit of a difficult read (for me, at least), but it's definitely a good book to read if you're interested in what happened during the cultural revolution in China.

Eight; Last Song Listened To --

LittleJayneyCakes' cover of Regardless, Cannon Busters' ending theme.

Nine; Last Film Watched --

Oh god I don't remember. We're gonna count the last film that I chose to watch, since that's easier to remember. Think it was called "Olden Time"? It was an animated short film about an uhhhhh... think of Lumiere and Cogsworth from BatB? YEAH. Except with a TV and a windup cat doll. Old 50s-ish era TV set gets tossed out, meets a little windup cat doll. Things go from there.

It's a cute little bit of animation! Also sad at bits. I don't remember how it went, really, it's been around a year, at LEAST since I've seen it, but it was good. Do recommend.

Ten; Inspiration for Muse --

I've got so many, you'd have to ask for specifics, but a short list:

Eloise, Narua, Nim, Berriath, Tabitha, Carmen, and Fraeswys were based off of original/previous characters I've had in the past.

The rest are original to FFXIV-verse, and the starting point for them always has been "let's take a hook and build off that" (i.e, Yellow Dove: Maelstrom. Sechen: Xaela. Ryoko: Astrologan and Geisha.)

Eleven; Dream Job --

I don't remember if I've said it on my blog before, but my DREAM dream job would be as a paramedic.

My second dream job and the one I'm actually shooting for is to be a piano teacher. It's just... I love it so much, and the thought of passing on that knowledge and helping other people work to play it is just something that makes me happy. It won't be easy, but I'd think it rewarding.

Twelve; Meaning Behind URL --

Uh. Um. Hm. Yeah. I think it's obvious. Self explanatory.

My username tends to be Infiniteleft, and I play FFXIV now, so.... Yeah. Actually, you can also find my BNS blog simply by changing ffxiv for BNS. There's screenshots of Taiwoo (original Tabi), Carmen, AND Nim up there, I think. Alongside a couple of shitposts.

As for "Infiniteleft".... I have NO IDEA why I went with this, but. From what I've been told I told people, I really liked the infinity symbol when I was younger, and I'm left-handed, so I mushed them together because I needed a username. After a previous set of aliases which I won't disclose for the sake of my own peace of mind, this one stuck.

Tagged by: @benes-diction had an open tag so I went ham. Hi Jonesy.

Tagging: Gonna leave this one open, too, actually, with respect towards some people just wanting privacy for the first set of questions. If you wanna do it tho. Please. Go wild.

VOICE CLAIM(S): WS!Cap definitely was lip-syncing Ronan Harris’ voice due to the sheer multitude of VNV songs that were part of his character. But Ves specifically?? I imagine something probably deeper and more rough but I haven’t heard anything I liked in particular yet.

GENDERBENT FC(S): 

MUN QUESTIONS.

Q1: IF YOU COULD WRITE YOUR CHARACTER YOUR WAY IN THEIR OWN MOVIE, WHAT WOULD IT BE CALLED, WHAT STYLE WOULD IT BE FILMED IN, AND WHAT WOULD IT BE ABOUT?:

If it were up to me, the movie would be emulating a war movie in style, with muted and often cold colors and much darker themes and tones. Occasionally there’d be bursts of color or uplifting scenes to remind everyone that people are still human and contrast all the darker stuff, so a balance between the two. 

That’d be the most important part of it for me personally. Many references to all sorts of symbolism, though not too heavy-handed with it, allegories, metaphors, etc. To explore the spectrum of the ...for lack of better term, human condition.

Q2: WHAT WOULD THEIR SOUNDTRACK / SCORE SOUND LIKE?:

Completely orchestrated, done in a romantic style so that, in case someone weren’t watching the movie itself, they could simply listen to the music and imagine their own scene to it as the composition of said songs would ...in a perfect world, be very specifically tailored to fit certain sequences of emotion and whatnot.

And of course some violin/piano duet pieces sprinkled here and there.

Q3: WHY DID YOU START WRITING THIS CHARACTER?:

Ves is just one version of an old OC I’ve had for a long, long time. Maybe eight or so years. Give or take. He’s got several different iterations thus far.

Q4: WHAT FIRST ATTRACTED YOU TO THIS CHARACTER?:

My love for war movies and such to be honest. Along with my insane fascination and interest in historical narratives and European warfare and the like. Typically, Ves’ character is usually pulling all sorts of things from WW1 from fashion to mannerisms, and his whole world is constructed to emulate that as well (though, not set on Earth.) Not the FFXIV version of course because Ishgard is there, but other versions of him such as WS and his original counterpart.

Q5: DESCRIBE THE BIGGEST THING YOU DISLIKE ABOUT YOUR MUSE:

If I had to pick the largest thing I have against him (and I mean this character in general, not specifically FFXIV,) it’s the need for historical accuracy in most cases. I’m a die-hard for things like that and spend a lot of time doing research (usually just for fun but I get carried away easily.) Considering reference material isn’t always the easiest to find for really specific things from a time period that old, it becomes frustrating VERY quickly when I don’t feel I’m portraying him ‘authentically’ enough.

Elsewise, as far as his personality goes, he’s just like any dad. The need to always be right drives me absolutely insane. The good thing about him though is that he’s fictional and I can make him change and grow and learn. >:) Now that’s what I call sexy.

Q6: WHAT DO YOU HAVE IN COMMON WITH YOUR MUSE?:

We both love to eat and eat way too much too often and yet are like twigs. And we’re too particular about certain things.

I dunno, your characters technically are just facets of you.

Q7: HOW DOES YOUR MUSE FEEL ABOUT YOU?:

He’d be extremely annoyed but I don’t think he’d do anything about it. I am but a CHILDE.

Q8: WHAT CHARACTERS DOES YOUR MUSE HAVE INTERESTING INTERACTIONS WITH?

Thus far? There’s Lowrey who won’t leave him alone and is always trying to wrangle Ves in like a bucking horse, and they’re VERY entertaining to watch with their weird and aggressive banter (on Ves’ part anyway, he can’t stand the guy. Lowrey just rolls with the punches with a big grin and keeps on pushing. Ves is gonna clobber him one of these days for real this time. For REAL this time.)

And then there’s Ves and Caudecus’ very polarizing and almost jarring but still extremely funny interactions with one another. They’re roommates right now so, typical roommate shenanigans, laugh track plays here. There’s something sinister hidden underneath it all and I think Caud may just get a laugh out of stabbing Ves verbally, which is also something I enjoy laying witness to.

And of course, Mei and Ves. He has NO idea who she is, he just kind of met her out there in the wilderness I suspect and thought she was weird, but she’s very fun and loves to go exploring and flying too and that’s something he can relate to. Plus Mei displays a very clear sense of justice and that is something he appreciates VERY much. She’s just whacky and weird and a mystery but he likes it and doesn’t know why. It’s probably all the pink.

Q9: WHAT GIVES YOU INSPIRATION TO WRITE YOUR MUSE?:

Anime stuff probably, war stuff. I dunno, depends on my mood for the day. I don’t need inspiration, my characters are just on a roulette wheel. Which one do I feel like using today.

Q10: HOW LONG DID THIS TAKE YOU TO COMPLETE?:

About an hour, but I had to constantly rephrase things that didn’t make sense.

[lyllyan-weiss]

Hey guys!

Sans, Papyrus, and Alphys are now in FFXIV

On Diablos:

Sans The'lala

Papyrus The'great

Alphys Alpha

They are played me, so...yeah. I mainly made them to get a set up for FFXIVTales. Kinda see how each of the races fit with the characters.

But if you see any of them on, don't be shy to hit me up for a friends invite. Same with Lyllyan Weiss or Mei Luna! Who knows, once this comic starts rolling, there could be some Role play involved!

And there's Mei, one of the Human's characters.

[neonxasura-blog]

I guess I will finally kick this thing off. Will edit profile more later. My name is Neon Higryu, husband to Mei Higryu and today I’ve decided to start off my tumblr. I’ve been playing FFXIV since November 2013. I will follow back any and all FFXIV accounts. I will also be following some random ones to build up this page. Sometimes I will post other video games here as well, but mostly only FFXIV.
