Vote For Blinky Jr.!

Friends!  I occasionally get crafty, and I needle-felted this little creechur for my best friend @adeat​ awhile ago.  I was so proud of how he turned out (pride is a rare occurrence for me hahaff) that I decided to enter him in the FanFest art contest, and he got into the finals!

Entry #C-21 in Crafted Physical Works

The story behind this little guy is that when adeat got his first house on FFXIV back in HW (I think?), I gifted him a little in-game stuffed Ahriman that I crafted just for him. We've since changed servers and houses a few times, but he's always kept this Ahriman on display somewhere and it warms my heart that he values him (and thusly our friendship) so highly.

Reblogs are appreciated!

I decided to do a video of me solo running Ahriman from FF1 with just a Black Mage.

I'm doing the Solo Class set on Retro Achievements right now.

Final Fantasy also had a lot of solid Iconic Enemy choices. Cactuar, Behemoth, Ahriman, Malboro... but does anything strike fear into the gamer heart quite like this?

Buer - CR8 Demon

For when you can't decide whether to use a demon or a ceiling fan.

Artwork is concept art from Final Fantasy VIII, copyright Squaresoft.

This is one of the more interesting and memorable enemy designs in Final Fantasy 8. In every other Final Fantasy game that has an enemy called a Buer, it's just a palette swap of the classic Final Fantasy enemy Ahriman.

This creature is pretty resistant to magic and pretty weak to physical damage. It's a magic specialist, and teaches other demons and curious humans about demonic ideas of magic, philosophy, and even medicine and herbalism. These ideas are largely focused around seeking the thrill of destruction, the glory of taking apart living creatures piece by piece, and very detailed and enthusiastic instructions on how precisely to accomplish these things. A buer's lectures are sort of like the charismatic sermons of a fire-and-brimstone preacher, just in reverse, praising the qualities that such a preacher would condemn. They excite other demons into a frenzied fervor before battle.

Some of this creature's lore is related to the 16th century mythological demon named Buer. The FF8 visual design is actually very similar to the depiction from the 1818 book Dictionnaire Infernal. Just with a spiral of wings instead of a spiral of goat feet, which is frankly a significant upgrade in terms of visual design.

Elemental Spell-like Ability isn't a real feat, but it's a metamagic spell-like ability feat that does exactly what it sounds like, and I included a description in the creature's special abilities so there's no confusion.

Buer - CR 8

Surrounded by a spiral of feathered wings that's surrounded by a larger spiral of leathery wings, this flying beast head hovers in mid-air.

XP 4,800 CE Large outsider (chaotic, demon, evil, extraplanar) Init +5 Senses darkvision 60 ft.; Perception +14

DEFENSE

AC 18, touch 15, flat-footed 12 (+5 Dex, +1 dodge, +3 natural, -1 size) hp 103 (9d10+54); fast healing 2 Fort +11, Ref +10, Will +10 Defensive Abilities magic reflection Immune electricity, poison Resist acid 10, cold 10, fire 10 Weaknesses vulnerable to bludgeoning, vulnerable to piercing, vulnerable to slashing SR 24

Spell-Like Abilities (CL 9th; concentration +13)    1/day—enervation (ranged touch +14)    3/day—elemental fireball (DC 17)    At will—death knell (DC 16), fireball (DC 17)

STATISTICS

Str 8, Dex 21, Con 20, Int 20, Wis 14, Cha 18 Base Atk +9; CMB +9; CMD 25 Feats Dodge, Elemental Spell-like Ability (fireball), Iron Will, Lightning Reflexes, Toughness Skills Diplomacy +16, Fly -1, Heal +11, Knowledge (arcana, local, planes, religion) +16, Knowledge (history, nature) +13, Perception +14, Spellcraft +13 Languages Abyssal, Celestial, Draconic; telepathy 100 ft.

SPECIAL ABILITIES

Concentrated Fire (Su) A buer can reduce the radius of its fireball by increments of 5 feet, to a minimum of a 5-foot radius. For each 5-foot increment it reduces the spell, it increases the spell’s damage by 1d6. This additional damage can exceed the spell’s maximum damage.

Elemental Spell-like Ability (Sp) Three times per day, when a buer casts fireball, it can change the damage type to cold, acid, or electricity, or split the spell’s damage, so that half is of that energy type and half is fire damage.

Magic Reflection (Sp) Once per day as an immediate action, when it fails a saving throw against a spell with a target of one creature or is hit by a spell with an attack roll, it can reflect that spell back to the attacker. The attacker is subject to the full effects of the spell as if it failed the saving throw or were hit by the attack roll.

I guess this means I didn't win the grand prize for Blinky Jr. but I wasn't expecting to anyway and this very apropos prize was all I really wanted! ...And I guess I held myself in meaningless and unnecessary suspense for 3 weeks because SE did outright say that the winners were chosen on 7/29, but that the actual prizes wouldn't be delivered until late August. Didn't read the fine print... I suppose its due to my two tiny human eyes, which lack the visual acuity and sheer cuteness of this one gigantic eye.

I love it so much! And look at the cute little wingy motif on the back where the tail attaches!

This also made me realize that none of Fal's current glams show his neckwear. It'll also be a challenge to find a glam that shows it off decently. But fuck it, we eyeball!

Final Fantasy 14 Update: Which is actually the first I ever made, huh ^^ Anyway, I wasn't THAT far in the main story because I spent ages getting sidetracked. This game is REALLY good at letting you get sidetracked. My current task was to chase the masked ascian. We first found out that he sowed discourse between the Ala Mhigo refugees and then fucked off into the Gridania woods where a lot of woman were killed and deformed. I was also pretty happy to see the classical Ahriman monster, it starts to feel like Final Fantasy ^^ Anyway, we found a button and had to ask like FOUR people to identify it and I finally did. A new dungeon is available now. On the way, I did some of the optional quests. I must say, I liked the one where we had to be the assistant of that arrogant scientist, that was a funny one.

Cancellations done wrong:

The Ahriman Arc and Season Sux of Highlander. A dragged out cancellation that made little in-universe sense and often destroyed long-established characterization.

The season finale of Forever Knight. Those who have experienced it will know why I hate it.

Good shows cancelled because they appealed to women instead of the targeted male demographic (and because the showrunners hated sci-fi and fantasy):

The Dresden Files.

Good shows cancelled for no apparent reason:

Firefly.

I have been bitter for a long, long time.

I’ll never forgive Fox for canceling Pitch. NEVER.

[A. With the Interpretation of Dreams, the dream makes its entry into the field of human meanings - cont'd]

[4. By failing to acknowledge that words, ultimately, require a real-world, grammatically correct expression to sustain them, Freudian psychoanalysis of dreams never gets a comprehensive grasp of meaning - cont'd]

[e. An inadequate elaboration of the notion of symbol is doubtless at the origin of these defects of Freudian theory - cont'd]

iii. But in the course of the analysis [of Schreber, vis., the symbol, as the surface of contact between outer and inner world,] Freud finally abandoned this attempt, and located his reflections on two different levels.

On one level, he established symbolic correlations which enable one to detect beneath the image of the solar god, the Father figure, and beneath the Ahriman image, the person of the patient himself

And on another level, he analyzed meanings, while this fantasy world remains no more than one possible expression of them

[On the level of symbolic correlations, by] reducing meanings to their most transparent verbal expression, he thus purifies them, proffering an extraordinary emotional declension, the magical framework of paranoid delirium:

"I don't love him, I hate him,"

"It isn't he whom I love, it's she whom I love, because she loves me,"

"It isn't I who love the man, it's she who loves him"

[On the level of analyzed meanings:]—declensions

whose first form and simplest semantic character amount to: "I love her,"

whose ultimate form, reached through all the contradictory inflections, emerges quite to the contrary as: "I don't love anyone at all, I love only myself."

– Michel Foucault, Dream, Imagination and Existence: An Introduction to Ludwig Binswanger's Le rêve et l'existence (part II: Man in his significance), 1954, translated by Forrest Williams

Eye Demon

This is a monster I remember being in one of the RPGMaker games I played with in my youth. I believe it is called an Ahriman. Pretty sure these things show up in final fantasy as well.
