#ask blog ff14

[mimble-sparklepudding]

Highlight a FFXIV blogger who answers OC (or other) asks with really interesting responses.

A really obvious answer would be @starrysnowdrop!

She really puts a lot of effort into really thoughtful responses to asks and I love learning more about Hali and her relationship with Aymeric. Sometimes, when I've asked about something slightly obscure, she will take the time to research the lore and and put together a really interesting response - which always feels like quite an honour!

One of my favourite blogs on Tumblr and one of the nicest bloggers too!

[neighawolf]

So... It's been a while since I last logged in here. Longer still since I properly did... much of anything here, outside of a few scattered posts. Part of me had been kinda dreading coming back here but looking at when my activity really dramatically dropped off, I think I understand what happened.

So, way back in february of last year, I was bouncing between a lot of things. I was running around doing a bunch of stuff to try and secure a new job, and I did manage that- A big component of my not being here was just me adjusting to having to work again, after being unemployed for almost an entire year. It was tough to get the right structure going, but I managed it. And despite starting college just a couple weeks ago, I've mostly managed that too so far, I think.

But that isn't... the main reason why. Probably. I think.

You see, what else happened in february, was that I got booted from a community I'd been a part of for years. It encompassed my involvement in a card game I loved, as well as the FF14 free company I'd been part of at the time. Someone who was, at one time, a good friend of mine misinterpreted something, and was so incensed by it, they took some things I said out of context and absolutely slandered me to the mod team of that community. (Yes, it actually is as bad as it sounds. I checked.) As a result, I was privately labeled some pretty nasty things, and shunted from their discord server without so much as a word. None of them would speak to me, none of them would even give me a chance to tell my side of things.

Obviously, that stung. A lot.

It had me pretty dejected about a lot of stuff, for a really long time. Probably why I mostly got off of here- I retreated to a different blog where there was less pressure (self-imposed) and more freedom for me to just, kinda, do whatever I wanted without fear or worry. I needed space and freedom to move myself around how I wanted for a while. And then that led to me feeling bad about not coming back here, which made me put off coming back here even longer... You see where this goes.

But at this point, it's been a year and a half. I'm pretty much over that fiasco, I haven't spoken to any of those people since, and they've evidently been content to leave it alone too, given I haven't had any mobs of angry pitchfork-wielding card game players coming after me.

And recently, Kako came back! She's RPing again and that's fun to see. I know a lot of you I've still been in contact with regardless, her included, so most of you probably are already aware of a lot of this stuff, but writing all this out is part of my process, so bear with it. The important thing is, after a lot of time and thinking about things, and seeing friends return to RPing and watching things happen from afar... God, do I want to get back into it with you all.

I very likely still won't be super active, but I'm going to at least try to be consistent. This is supposed to be my main, after all. I'll probably take the next week or so to clean up the muse list, cut a bunch of stuff, get a bit more focused and the like. Not that I'll actually stop playing any given muse- I'm wont to flip-flop between characters I enjoy, and I'm loathe to let fun interactions pass me by just because a character 'isn't on my muse list', but I ought to give myself a bit of structure, at least.

So... I'll try to be here every day, at least. Even if it's just to check in. This'll be a fresh start for me, I'd say, not that any of my old lore or whatever is getting abandoned. It's just... It's been a long time. It'll take some easing back into things for me, so I'm not even going to worry about whatever asks have been left to rot in my inbox, stuff like that.

Given it's been such a long time, some of you may... have blogs that I'm not currently following, cause I've missed them or what have you. So uh, if that's the case, please shoot me a message so I can correct that.

[gatheredfates]

Hello my lovelies! 🦈 You might be asking yourself 'Sea, this is weird, You don't update during the week!' and you would be correct. I was supposed to push this update out by the end of my long weekend as an addition to this; however, due to a bunch of irl stuff I won't go into here, it was delayed. I have endeavoured to rectify it now rather than waiting out the week so peoples' resources are properly showcased. This will not be a common occurrence!

However, as of today (06/04), the following resources have been added to Sea's Community Compendium for XIV Creatives.

FREE COMPANY / COMMUNITY FOCUSED / EVENT SPACES

The Final Fantasy XIV Tumblr Community — A public Tumblr community where you can share FFXIV content and meet other players.

*NOTE. Tumblr communities are currently in beta and cannot be joined/applied to directly at this time. You will need to request an invite from @spotofmummery in order to join. When communities are out of beta, the disclaimer on the Compendium will be removed to properly reflect its public status.

LORE

The Rabanastran Record — A resource on Dalmascan lore, history and additional notes incorporating missing information via FFXII content. Is regularly maintained and updated when new information is given in game/lorebooks or on request. Created and maintained by @stalwart-spirit on tumblr.

Pandæmonium Raid Series Transcript — This is a full transcript of the quest dialogue, battle lines and NPC dialogue from all of P1-12! Created by @divinitymanifest.

MISC

FF14 Battle Portrait Tutorial — Have you ever wanted to create a battle portrait for your WoL similar to the ones you see in Endwalker story events and dungeons? @twitter-sakuranokaze has put together a guide on just how to do it!

CHANGELOG

A 'lore' checkbox has been added to the google form to better reflect the update to the Compendium's sorting. It was the one part of that change I forgot to do, so it's now up-to-date!

Free Company / Community Focused / Event Servers has not been updated to Free Company / Community Focused / Event SPACES to better reflect Tumblr communities and potentially encompass other smaller communities not easily covered by Large-Scale or Misc.

Bookmark links to certain resources have been added/amended. Again, not sure why they broke... but they're working now!

Want to submit? You can either fill out the google form here, send me an ask with the relevant information contained on the Compendium, or join my Discord at SEAFLOOR (21+ only)!

Is my space suitable for the Compendium? Most of the time, yes! Below the read more is some more information/stipulations. Again, all the below information is accessible on the document! 🐡

Below are the following things I do not accept on the Compendium:

Personal/Single-Character LFC ads.

Content intended for or can be used for bullying, harassment and OOC gossip. E.g. ‘Secrets’ blogs, receipts, callout posts, etc. This does not include in-character tabloid blogs used to generate RP.

Communities that do not have an RP/writing element (large-scale exempt).

Anything I find personally distasteful or goes against the spirit of this project.

Common-sense rule applies.

FAQ.

I want to put my community on the compendium but we have an application process. Is this okay?

Yes! Just note somewhere in your application that's a requirement. The only thing that is mandatory for the Compendium is that you must be open to new members or have a public-facing/accessible facet. There's no point advertising a community if no one can join it in some way!

I want to put my community on the compendium but I only have x number of members —

Also totally okay! People don't start with large communities. Activity is a must but, whether your server has two or two thousand members, if you're looking for new people to join, I'd love to help you find people.

I want to put my community on the compendium but I worry its too niche?

Okay, and? If your Eorzean Fishing Alliance has four members but you roleplay every second weekend, I still want to know about it.

What resources/communities can I add if I'm not the owner of them?

Mutual consent is extremely important to me, so anything that isn't a large-scale community OR a publicly accessible resource must be endorsed by the owner/admin/moderators in order to be added to the compendium. I operate under the assumption that a resource posted to a public space (tumblr, googledocs, youtube, etc) is open to all. A large-scale community is one with a significant member count or openly advertises itself as being accessible to everyone for whatever purpose it serves. If in doubt, please get in touch with me. I'm happy to contact your community owners for you!

How active does a community need to be?

If you find a community has not been active in about two/three months, send me a message and I'll take a look at it. Communities have ebbs and flows, especially event spaces that may take hiatuses depending on member interest/life events. I'm not strict in my implementation provided a space isn't dead. If a link or anything is broken, absolutely contact me about that.

I have [insert a question not stated here]?

No drama! Send me an ask or use the #Compendium channel in my Discord!

[wyrmguardsecrets]

Holy crap, do you people seriously have nothing better to do with your lives then accuse everyone of being 'sex addict, pedo, pedo defender, sex addict defender, stalker, stalker defender, fucking leprechaun hyponotizer or some shit. Have you all thought about just playing the game? Most, if not all of us don't give a single fuck about someone's private life. You can block and move on. Championing that this hell blog is somehow superior to twitter and its 'fake' accusations is nothing short of hilarity and foolishness. You all do realize you're turning those actual terms into buzz words right? If these people are THAT bad, report them to blizzard. Im 99.9% sure that is something they have to investigate. But you won't do that because then you can't be anonymous, dragging literally people who just died through mud, or anybody else that doesn't suit your fancy. Today its TOA people again, Tomorrow it will be argent guild #83829 The Weekend will be back to Gilneas Oh hey look more AI art shit, lets debate that 4 million times in a 24 hour period. Next week we will be back on trump or ff14 vs wow, or how frogs really are turning people gay. Go out get some sunlight, touch your wife. Go ask someone of the opposite or same sex to dance or get a drink i don't judge. Do something then constantly post the same shit rehashed over and over and over and over and over and over and over. 99.9999% of everyone on this server just wants to escape reality for a few hours a day and unwind from the stresses of real life. I don't give a single iota of a fuck about gilnean defender, TOA people, people sucking up to TOA people, or anything else. Fuck. Change the damn subject and move on.

congrats or sorry that happened

Highlight a FFXIV blog with an OC who is particularly loveable or endearing.

Highlight a FFXIV blog that is completely different to yours, whether in terms of focus or style, but you really enjoy.

Another example of a blog with an OC who is particularly loveable or endearing would be @nyarumi-nyan and the very cute Satien.

Obviously it would be rather bad manners to actually tell Satien he was cute - or even endearing - as he would be very embarrassed and possibly even slightly cross. But he is a very loveable sort of character, with strong morals, a firm sense of duty and fluffy little slippers...

2. I think most FFXIV blogs are completely different to mine, given that mine is really rather silly, but I suppose a particularly different example would be @mrlarkstin.

Aside from the fact the writing and gposes are of notably better quality, there's a general difference in focus and tone. Whereas I tend to be too shy to even put a vanilla "sexy" glam on my characters in-game, over at @mrlarkstin people are having polyamorous relationships with dragons, they're engaging in a bit of inter-species slap and tickle with various types of Mamool Ja, eggs are being gestated, unhealthy inter-personal dynamics are being explored. The whole thing is off the scale, or possibly on the scales, depending on your point of view.

So yes, really very different sort of blog to mine, but all very interesting and much recommended.

for the ask game — c'oretta's feelings on urianger!

also not really relevant but i was wondering where your tumblr username originates from? guessing it's related to dark autumn but she's a bard, right? or is she a lancer too?

This is where I remember I actually have a document in my files where I figured out my OCs feelings on the main Scion cast and several world leaders, and vice versa. C'oretta on Urianger, for instance: Urianger is so smart and funny and honestly everyone needed to figure that out much sooner and if anyone ever breaks his heart C'oretta will turn them into a pretzel OK? :D He's a bro! And she appreciates his patience and his eloquent way of speaking.

Urianger finds her energy and intellect endearing, she's always been able to keep up with him and is very helpful at trolling his comrades. She also got the closest to figuring out his scheme in HW, and what his plan was in StB even, which is almost scary. She only didn’t figure out ShB cuz she wasn’t in the First with them.

-

The blog title does have to do with Dark Autumn, but unsurprisingly that simple of a title was long taken when I got around to making this side blog when she was still my only character. Dark actually did begin as a Lancer/Dragoon when I started playing in early Heavensward. It was a part of a challenge to myself to try not only DPS, but melee, as my time in WoW was entirely on tanks and healers, with some ranged DPS I was bad at, but melee was worse (I legit got angry and couldn't play my paladin if I tried to go Retribution spec, I hated it so much). FF14's longer GCD and combat play works much better for me! I took all 2 years of HW to get through ARR cuz it was my side game at the time. I tried Bard in 4.0 after finally catching up to main story and fell in love with it (as it had actually been completely overhauled in StB from turret caster to the current mobile form).

In character lorewise, Dark is a Gridanian Lancer, and studying at the lancer and archery guilds together is how she met Aeryn, as Dark got back into adventuring after a long and necessary break from it (she'd been at Carteneau as part of the foreign levy with her then-free company; all handwaved backstory, I did not play 1.0). Dark and Aeryn also sought out Jehantel together. Aeryn's the one who went on to become a Dragoon, thanks to her then-secret backstory, while Dark excelled at Bardic skills that Aeryn treats as more of a hobby/flavoring to her spellcasting. Dark's "canon" tank job is Warrior, though she knows a smattering of most of the martial jobs; while I've leveled all the jobs, she cannot IC spellcast anything beyond level 10 or so. Just no ability or aptitude for it, nor does that bug her as Aeryn's own difficulties troubled her. And in the end, Dark always falls back on the Gridanian methods of archer and lancer. They're practical.

So it's still my blogname, and it'd break far too many links to change it, it's printed in some fanzines that way now, and it'd just feel weird to try to change it to something else after *checks sideblog's age* Heck, 9 years.

[most-fuck-able-ff14]

aaaaand with that our final poll is out in the wilds. I'll go though all 64 (63 cause magnai vs magnai was more of a gag poll) polls and do a tally of who magnai is and isn't more fuckable than BUT I have a job interview tomorrow so we'll see how much time i have for that!

I hopes you guys had fun and enjoyed this till mini tournament! I think the blog will actually go silent until me and the other mods play though dawntrail because we do want to do another whole cast tournament again (and hopefully it will be bigger so we can get ALL the men!).

Mod Fisher will still advertise other ff14 poll blogs and tournaments, so feel free to send a ask our way!

See you later! -Mod Fisher

[fayeastria]

Alright, feels like I should also create a pinned post to introduce myself here.

Hi! I'm Faye, came to Tumblr during the Reddit changes and technically a returning tumblrina (though that was years ago). I'm a sapphic transbian who loves any yuri from fluffy to lewd.

Apart from reading manga and books, my hobbies include (but are not limited to) video games, writing, worldbuilding, and DMing ttrpg campaigns. My favourite multiplayer game is probably FF14, so if you're on Chaos or aren't and wanna play together anyway, my DMs are always open.

My DMs and asks are also open if you just wanna chat. I love meeting new people and am usually too shy to initiate DMs, but I love chatting with people similar to me.

Dating @catherinekal, so check out her blog if you see this!

hello this is a ff14 blog to release my friends from the hell of having to listen to me talk constantly about my WOL. i'm here to eat glue and put shitty arts & crafts together. wolgraha. SFW, ask box is open. WCIF friendly.

blog is full of spoilers and i will no-life all new story content on patch day so i tag spoilers by both expansion and patch for tumblr savior purposes, e.g. "#heavensward spoilers" or "#6.4 spoilers"

↠ tags of interest: #my wol: estelle - everything creative i do specifically for my WOL. the tag where i watch her rotate on a lazy susan for hours a day #my writing - posted fics, drabbles, prompts, etc. #gpose - shots & glams that are not specific to my WOL #my gifsets - i make gifs and immediately deposit them into a dumpster roevember 2023 - hell month hell month hell month

Having cut her teeth on Ishgard's nobility, Estelle is a political animal to the core: personable, patient, good-humored, well-spoken, charismatic, a little too interested in power, morally flexible, and allergic to the truth.
