i grow older and older with every expansion. i can't believe i've been in this fandom almost 7 years now. my wife says every time she makes a joke about sprint and tp, people are like WOW YOU'RE OLD AS DIRT! and i'm like, yeah. heavensward was our shadowbringers. it brought a lot of people into the fandom. both my wife and i showed up b/c it felt like other final fantasy titles. we're both fans of xii, so the political plots were especially interesting to us.

dawntrail is refreshing because, to me, it highlights the charm of older expansions while incorporating the lovely threads of newer expansions into its fabric. you can see the team slowly learning from its previous mistakes, though there are still mistakes! dawntrail feels to me the most quintessential final fantasy xiv storyline we've had for a long time. it makes me excited for the future. the team will keep learning and we'll see more interesting stories come alive in the years to come.

Hi everyone!

I am...so sorry that I've gone radio silent on this blog. It wasn't my intention, I just had a huge drop in my mental health and I just did not have the spoons to deal with anything but some reblogs on my multi and doom scrolling on tiktok.

Anyway, some news! I have been working on clawing myself out of the hole, and then my chronic pain flared up bad in my leg, and the doctors finally discovered -- drumroll please -- I have a tumor! It's just doin' it's thing under my kneecap, growing...causing pain...shifting ligaments... Ya know. It's most likely benign, but there's a small chance it's not, and so I'm scheduled for surgery in literally a month.

I'm going to try and slowly get back on here, if anyone misses me! Because I really miss you guys! The stuff in my drafts is put on hold until I can reclaim muse for them. In the meantime, I'm always lurking on my multi, so you'll know where to find me!

When Millie said this in the newest episode;

I was like haha! Nice Oz and Mammon are picky bitches.

And then it hit me.

During the Mammon's musical episode when Fizz was getting all anxious. He was LITERALLY scared that he would lose everything if he lost the competition. That Oz would kick him out of his life if he stops making the money. He knew Mammon would have made his life living hell.

We all remember what Fizz said to Oz; "You're with me because of who I am at my best! I'm barely WORTH of working with a King of Sin because THIS is who I am! Without all this I'm just nothing, and Mammon made me this. I owe it all to him" Where Fizz loves Oz, he still knows deep inside that demon royals aren't always the sweetest when it comes to imps.

Imagine living in a constant fear of your own boss who beats the shit outta you just so you can keep the things in your life. Because without Oz (and Mammon) Fizz could not survive alone.

Like my friend @hellpride / @greedonya / @originalribbing (yes Pepsi GET TAGGED now that I can't boop you) it's a dog eat dog world in imp culture.

But this is just me rambling, I might be wrong. But this is now my headcanon.

Why did no one TELL SHOVEL SHE WAS POSTING ON THE WRONG BLOG

[puzzledmemories]

((hi. um. i disappeared for a couple weeks. i did not mean to disappear for a couple weeks.))

((i'm very sorry. the fatigue just was not letting up on me after i was sick. i've barely done anything outside of work, haven't touched my computer a whole ton, i've been helping train people at work, i've spent most of the time i disappeared resting, i was also super depressed for a good chunk of it, and really stressful things were happening at work and kinda still are which drains me. and now i feel super anxious coming back because i'm worried people are gonna be mad i disappeared, which i feel bad about. i've been trying to get myself to post back on here that i'm back and start being active again for about 24 hours.))

((the fog in my brain finally cleared up most of the way for me on Monday (the 23rd). I also had a lot to do on Monday, a lot of taking care of my physical health things. and i had a lot to do after work today, too. Which Has Improved My Mood and Given Me More Energy, but also wore me out. i feel like i finally have thoughts in my head again and can think and am capable of writing! but also it's 2 AM so i'm going to try to be back on tomorrow because i need to sleep soon.))

((i've seen that i have a lot in my inbox, and i know i had that magic anon with shark going... i'll continue threads with that if people are interested in it, and i'll "finish it out" the way i originally planned to. and if people wanna start new threads with that magic anon in the next few days i'm also good with that. i have other magic anons in my inbox but i'm not sure if i should be touching those right away or not. that's just my anxiety yelling at me.))

((i'll reply to threads i had ongoing too, but if anyone wants to drop any of them bc it's been a minute, that's totally fine, no one should be blamed for that and i won't be upset over it or anything. rp's all about fun and we should do the things that are fun and if something doesn't feel fun anymore then it's all good to move on to something else. i really really need to respond to dms too, because i've barely touched those, either. idk if i'll be able to poke on at work at all tomorrow but i really really want to respond to people.))

((my brain just kind of shut off and communication was really painful in the sense that being on my computer was. hard and bothering me. it's not so bad now.))

((i'm gonna commit to start being on here again tomorrow though, and really try hard to hold myself to it, i've missed everyone on here so much and i've thought about you all lots. sorry for long post, i felt it was warranted after kinda disappearing, though...i'm sorry about that, i just really wasn't well for a bit))

*dusts blog off* I promise I have not forgotten Eve, just was distracted with other fandoms but I want to take a break. I need to redo and clean out her blog here. So if you are interested to remain mutuals please like.

Otherwise I’m going to be updating my rules and adding some verses here tonight then a starter call later. I want to be more involved with more fandoms as the invincible fandom is very small currently.

Hi, I used to RP on tumblr when I was 12-14. I was mostly active in 2015-2017. I literally remember following you back when I was active. I’m 21 now. I can’t believe you’re still writing here! That’s an insane level of dedication. In the time your blog has been active, I graduated middle school, high school, and am now in medical school 😭😭

Hello Anon! It's so nice to hear from you! That is absolutely INSANE to think about. First thing I want to say is CONGRATULATIONS on graduating and on getting into medical school! I feel honored to have been a constant in your life. I hope schooling is going well and thank you so much for reaching out! Here is to many more years to come and I hope medical school isn't too rough. Remember to rest when you can and feel free to reach out to me whenever!

fuck lore strictness. seriously.

i don't care if you're a spongebob squarepants oc adapted for xiv. that's way more interesting and endearing to me than a character pretending to belong 100% to the game. fan content will never be canon and that kind of authenticity is both pretentious and impossible. unless you're part of the actual writing team, your work will always be fannish. and fan content is only at its best when it interprets, creates or transforms its source material. that is how art is actually made. by pushing boundaries and commenting on the themes at play.

plausibility and its degrees are there to let people in. i don't care whether they want to opt into the world of that character or not. "it's too much of a stretch" is not the fucking same thing as looking down on people for being cringe. but it's often used as a cover for judgment and elitism, and that's literally the opposite of what the ffxiv team is about.

yoshi p said, if you believe it can happen, it can happen.

square enix is a company that wants to sell a game. if the demand in the fandom is strong enough, or even if their own rules get in the way of telling a profitably interesting story, they will even change the lore or disregard it altogether. that's what leads to inconsistencies. and, honestly, consistency is not necessary to understand the themes of the story. if you want to make it happen, you can interpret as you please.

obviously, media literacy is at an all time low. some people break the lore without even thinking about whether or not it's even the same game anymore, or if they'll find any partners to be compatible with them based on how much they deviate. there are people, in the same vein, who literally say, "if it does not exist in the game, there is no basis for this idea and we will reject it." that kind of conservative nonsense is full of pretension and repression. both directions lead you into nonsense and, depending on the person's biases, move them to write stories riddled with unintentional bigotry.

i used to think my meteor survivor one punch man himbo would be seen as the lowest of the low. nope. people i know, thoughtful people, enthusiastic people, have been treated like shit because of this attitude of elitism. yeah, yeah, it's nothing new, but it fucking sucks. we're all playing dollies. most people prefer the playing part of roleplaying without actually behaving as writers. but the ones who delude themselves into thinking they are good writers, then go on to treat others like they are less than, is fucking ridiculous.

anyway, i'd much rather play with foster's home for imaginary friends adopted for xiv than pretend to an imaginary standard unrooted in compassion or the spirit of real creativity.

In light of things happening, I just want to make it clear that I do not tolerate minors anywhere near me, especially in the rpc. I'm turning 29 soon, I don't need some uppity teenager thinking they're above the fucking law.

Look, I get it, puberty is hell, and hormones are racing. Teenagers get horny just like adults -- most of them anyway -- but that doesn't justify putting innocent people in danger just because you wanna get your rocks off. I'm an actual fucking victim of CSA. COCSA if we're going to get really technical, and that shit fucks you up more than you ever realize if you've never suffered such a thing. And I pray to any god in the universe that you have not, it's horrendous.

If you are a minor, DO NOT TOUCH MY BLOG. Not only will I report and block you, but I'll warn my mutuals to report and block you too. This is your one and only warning. I try to be kind, but if you put me or anyone I care about in danger, that kindness is gonna turn into a frying pan smacking you in the skull, Rapunzel style.
