I said that I started leveling SAM because I wanted the Amaro mount, but that was only a half-truth, as the primary reason was for Fal to do this cosplay of my favorite consumptive iaijutsu master:

Ukyo Tachibana from SNK's Samurai Shodown series of fighting games!

When I was a kid, my older brother and I had a bootleg Japanese copy of SamSho IV that we played until our thumbs bled, and Ukyo was always a favorite of mine. His simple color palette, the elegant conservation of movement in his stances and attacks, the fact that he rarely even faced the camera, and yes, you got me...��his bishonen looks and aura of tragic romanticism.

I'd been thinking about doing this it since SAM became a thing, but what really lit the fire for me to actually do it was this prophetic fanart that my bff and fellow 90s fighting game enthusiast @adeat did for me awhile ago - the original hangs near my monitor and I absolutely love it!

Happy All Saints' Wake!

I’m doing a li’l bit of FFXIVWrite on Joey’s Tumblr @without-school-or-style. Feel free to visit if you want.

Also, I’m both parts excited and nervous to announce a silly little project I’ve been chipping away over the past year or so. I debated whether or not to do it, but with the remake coming just around the corner, I’ve decided to do it.

It’s a Ranma 1/2 and Final Fantasy XIV crossover image series!

That is, the Ranma cast in all current FFXIV classes up to Viper and Pictomancer. I did my best to pair up the characters with classes that fit them. Anyone who wants to block, I’ll be using the tag #RanmaxFFXIV.

The pictures will be in black and white. I’ll do my best!

It's February 14, which means that it's not only Valentine's Day, it's Joey's birthday!

Joey is my WoL. Out of all my characters, he is one of the oldest, having been around for 25 years, possibly even greater. Words can’t express how much he means to me. His determination, kindness, and passion have been—and continue to be—a source of comfort and inspiration. No matter how many times he stumbles and falters, he keeps trying his best, which gives me the courage to keep trying my best, too.

Thank you to all the wonderful people who have had the patience to be his friend, whether here in Eorzea, on Ragnarok Online, or anywhere else. I hope the adventures we’ve shared together were as enjoyable to you as they were to him.

Here’s to many more years of adventuring in Eorzea!

Falerin Arcita: Then and Now

I couldn't help but steal this idea when I saw @lynxden reblogging a bunch of very sincere and heartfelt versions of it from various folks that were a pleasure to read.

Aside from job-hopping and changing hairstyles a few times, very little has changed about my boy. I still have all of the free fantasias SE has given us over the years and never bothered with mods. But Fal's consistency has always been a source of comfort for me. He's seen me through the deaths of both my parents, three jobs, a new house, a nervous breakdown and recovery, losing a cat and adopting 2 new ones (one of which I had to bottle feed,) 2 bouts of COVID, multiple back injuries… You get the idea.

So here's the very oldest screenshot of him that I could find, from waaaaaay back in... 2.3, I think? Protect, Stoneskin, TP, gear getting destroyed when you got materia from it, and whatever they called that thing where you needed a representative from each stat to do limit breaks, I think?

So what's changed?

He started as a Bard, but then when HW hit and it became the Bow Mage, I found out that I loved Summoner.

I enjoyed doing the mental gymnastics of working Summoner into his backstory... but then EW did a total teardown and rebuild that I sort of hated.

After that there was a dalliance with Dancer for about 2/3 of an expansion - which I didn't bother working into his backstory because I was Too Tired by then, and he's always been the one who plays/sings the music rather than dancing to it.

...and now I'm full circle back to Bard.

As for his backstory… That hasn't changed much either, and I never have decided exactly how much he's aged. I have THOUSANDS of words worth of stories for him, but most of them are just slice-of-life, dialogue or introspection. No big action set pieces or thrilling dramatic turns, or explicit smut, just… living. His is a story of how many forms love can take, and learning to move past one's own shame and guilt over expressing that love selfishly. Now if I could just get those stories all up on Ao3 which would be easier if I didn't have 10 years worth of them that aren't in chronological order. I'm about 40% done with that.

His story has been more or less constant- I've just fleshed out the details. The most notable additions to his story have been that he spent part of his childhood in a burlesque house, he found a Bard soulstone thanks to @adeat's character Reonora Aestethe who is now his best friend (who is chatting with him in that first screenshot,) he met and is and trying to form a relationship with his estranged father, spoke with Bahamut's ghost, befriended a still-imprisoned Tiamat (who saw that coming?) got to talk with the spirit that keeps him alive, and most importantly he reconciled with his old friend/crush Alain whom he hurt a long time ago.

At any rate, I love my son who would be 10 years old if he were my actual son, and I'm glad he hasn't changed much aside from him becoming a more mature and better person. I appreciate you if you read this!

Character Theme | Teremy Itsubishi

What instrumental track would play in the background of your character's story during their most meaningful moments? 

Tagged by @theimperialnuisance. Thank you so much!

Way back in the day, when writing Justice, I was looking for a song to play during his more pensive moments. I landed upon this song and it stuck since. Most of the time I have some kind of long-winded answer or deeper meaning, and then other times it's nothing more than "I picked a song randomly and it fit serendipitously." orz

Justice takes place in 2008 and @abeat and I were writing this story before then. Been so long ago...

If anyone reading this wants to do this meme, go ahead!

[without-school-or-style]

Hello! To anyone who just happens to stumble upon this blog, I will be doing FFXIVWrite on this account since the entries for this month will be Joey-centric. I’ll make an announcement on my main Tumblr, @adeat, when I get a chance.

This year I thought to use the wonderful Citadel oracle deck to determine the NPC or influence Joey encounters in each prompt. An upright card will be helpful, a reversed card will hinder. For anyone interested in oracle decks and like to write or do tabletop campaigns, I highly recommend this one! It’s a combination of oracle deck and world/encounter/character prompt generator. Beautiful and highly versatile.

Also, I have to change the header and icon. Joey hasn’t been a lalafell since the beginning of Endwalker. orz

Höll på att glömma veckobrev idag o.o Min måndag har bestått av att försöka få igång nya datorn, så fattar mig kort innan jag går och laddar ner AdJob. Blir bilder och låt idag, chockerande. Mycket sparad inspiration för foto på senaste, ska nog ta mig ut och köra lite någon dag tror jag.

Låten för dagen är Adeat Ibhoora av Ahmed Fakroun

🛌— What’s their pillow talk usually like?

HNNGG this one was so difficult to answer for some reason XD I think cause I haven’t really explored this part of Kien (yet) but I shall do my best to answer!

I’d like to think that with his way of saying goodnight, it would very similar to his pillow talk. Whispered sweet nothings until he or his partner falls asleep, running his hand through his partner’s hair, interlacing his hands with his partners or cuddling very close with quiet purs until they both fall asleep. Just basically a mix between silly small talk and quiet admiration and all the fluffiness that comes with it XD

Thank you for the ask! @adeat ^^ <3

2. Can they dance?

You, my friend, are asking a bard if he can dance? Indeed I can! I was born to dance!

((Amon isn’t always the most coordinated guy and sometimes gets tangled in his own long limbs, but he can dance and really does enjoy it.))

12 - Dowdy

Today, she had done it. She had put on an outfit that had made her so unappealing, so dowdy, that Lavender felt sure she had overcome even the mightiest of curses. She had pulled up her hood to cover her ears and everything. She obscured her face. Her outfit made her resemble a wild woman of the woods more than a trendy dancer.

Surely today and for the rest of the month, no one would bother to hit on her while she wore her spriggan jacket, along with the matching boots and pants. It made her look like a giant child hunting for hatching tide goodies rather than a single woman nursing her wounds and cursing her bad luck. Lavender would almost be willing to bet on it.

Had she made that bet, she would have lost. Spectacularly. No matter how many times the corsage had vexed and tormented her this month, she never imagined that it could possibly work out here, southwest of Black Brush Station, hiding amongst the spriggans that hung out around some subterrane of some sort. All Lavender knew about it was that the Scions had received reports of the Warrior of Light going in there sometimes with a lalafellin lady. Not that it mattered at the moment.

All that mattered was that a lalafell had appeared. Out here. In what could qualify as the middle of nowhere.

"Spriggans are cute, but not as cute as you!" the high-pitched voice proudly declared with a big, shining smile on his face.

Lavender looked down with at the lalafell with a mixture of dread and morbid curiousity. How had the corsage worked even when she had been very careful to not even show off her figure? What could have possibly attracted the lalafell to her?

The lalafell’s demeanor changed then, giving her a seductive look. At least she thought it was supposed to be seductive, it was hard to tell with someone whose face resembled a baby. He even wiggled his eyebrows. "I could just eat you right up, cutie bunny. Want to see my brass blade? I have the brass balls to go along with it."

'What in the name of Menphina's Love is this? Is there some rule that every encounter brought on by this stupid corsage has to be more outlandish than the last?' Lavender thought as she looked around for an escape route. She really did not want to give up her hiding spot again, and she was running out of ideas of where she could teleport to.

A whistle sounded in the air. An actual spriggan appeared behind the lalafell, scooped the tiny baby-faced man into its arms, and ran off. Lavender wondered what was about to happen now when someone else appeared.

"You all right? I saw you looking uncomfortable there and thought you needed some help. I apologise if I got the wrong impression." A smooth, velvety voice asked her.

Lavender slowly ran her eyes up the owner of the voice and did her best not to gape like a fish. The man wore the traditional outfit of other males like himself. They barely seemed to contain his statuesque physique as her eyes slowly roamed up his perfectly formed body and eventually landed on his face.

She could not recall the last time she had laid eyes on such a gorgeous viera man. His handsome face was framed by his sun-kissed blond hair that covered his ears. The most striking feature about him had to be his red eyes that made his pale skin really stand out. Lavender felt the sight of the man steal her breath away.

The viera man waved in her face, eyebrows raised in concern. "Hot desert sun? I have some water here if you want. I didn’t drink from it." He started rummaging his bag then.

Lavender blinked, having been knock off the cloud of her daydreams and back down to reality. As the viera man kept rummaging through his bag, she realized something. No cheesy pickup lines. No longing glances. He had not been affected by the corsage. Why?

The gorgeous viera man belongs to @adeat. Thank you, as always!
