tbh delightful tags on the Gaius post, and I absolutely agree he was a True Believer - as memeable as his dialogue in the Praetorium may be, it also 100% genuine: Gaius totally believes every word of it, to the extents that you even start seeing the cracks as he tries to rationalise how his worldview still holds true even as you defiantly refuse to fall to his superior Strength of a Ruler.

That Ultima fight is as much a metaphorical battle of ideologies as it is a straight up fight, and for as much as he tries to get the last word in... when he loses, his fundamental beliefs are as much of a burning wreck around him as the praetorium itself.

And not only did he lose - he survived. Everything he has believed up until that point tells him he should have won, or failing that, that he should've been slain by a stronger, more righteous ruler. Yet he both lost... and lived, and finds himself face to face with the bitter realisation that he, Gaius van Baelsar, the infamous Black Wolf, Legatus of the XIV'th Legion, Conqueror of Ala Mhigo, Favourite of the late Emperor Solus... had been played for a complete and utter fool.

imagining Ehryu fucking around with a scythe™ singing something like "Time to reaaap what you have sooownnnn~" at the top of her lungs before a terrified audience who previously indulged in some scytheless fucking around and are now having many regrets about finding out.

before: "hey little pink catgirl, gonna sing us a song?"

after: "by the gods, i didn't know that much blood could come out of one person..."

not even matt pacini in 3rd grade making fun of me for checking out all the dinosaur books in the library could stop me

[nhaneh]

but what are the file format specific options to customize import/export, Adobe? What are the dictionary values I need to set? Where can I find those?

Additionally: have you perhaps heard of a concept called Documentation? Because I think your documentation needs more of it.

[wine-dark-soup]

these were probably my first real attempts at using anamnesis and i actually still like them even if eos has a straight face on them fkdkjhfkjsf the natural light, the northshroud's hedgetree, chilling in her ovim wool coat... this is very her

Other people have such pretty OCs, please show me more of them. I'd like you to reblog this with your OC, preferably your favourite picture of them. Doesn't have to be pretty, or perfect, just your favourite.

This is my current favourite pic of Lizzy

Hey @nhaneh tell Old Kea that Old Kab says hi~

I’m pretty sure that’s everybody @v@ but I will update this with MORE tags if I find out I missed people 😤

Oh also the teensy blue bird is named Zaya…

This all happened cos I wanted to pose people watching in a tree…. But there was like, no people at all? Not even a little bit? So I gathered as many people as I could find publicly available and then kinda, Scrimbled them around as little as possible because 25 actors is a LOT of. It’s a lot of everything. Don’t do that.

Also why the hell does that tree sway 😭😂😂😂 [oh my god there’s a tag limit of 30]

✧˖°. THEN AND NOW EDITION FT. Sarrai, Azuma & Koret!

Sarrai is the only character I've done any edits with post DT update (don't look at me, I'm only just getting the bug back), but I wanted to show which OC's went through, in my opinion, the most dramatic changes!

The Sarrai on the right was a very early concept where I tried to mash her and Aryele together without much success (call it the WoW trauma, idk). She's had a lot of fantasias to get where she is and I'm ultimately happy with her look now.

Azuma was my first character to finish a MSQ! (The ARR MSQ, to be precise) I used to play her off and on when I was still mainlining WoW, but ultimately adopted her as my main her until halfway through Stormblood when I settled on Ashe and never looked back. I don't want to talk about how long it took me to settle on a name for 'lore compliance'.

Anyway, her look ended up changed because I had the idea to make a sunset themed au ra and I loved her so much I deleted that au ra and slapped a fantasia on her. I met @riftdancing not long after that, we became best friends, and I never looked back.

Kor... SDFKGJDFSHKJDGH. I can't look at her as a Midlander anymore; I'm literally like 'who tf are you girlie???' She looks WAY too dainty in comparison to her highlander self now, but I was still trying to work out the kinks of her story from where she was left in WoW, so it took me a bit to kind of settle on her having a highlander body in game but being multiracial (highlander/midlander) in lore.

Also a good reminder that gposing is a skill that gets honed with time because... look at 'em. SDFKJGHSDFJK

Tagged by: Technically I was going to just do it of my own volition but then I saw @iron-sparrow tagged YOU so I pointed at myself.

Tagging (I haven't checked who has done this, so apologies if you have already completed it!): @cindernet-exploded, @ser-corviknight, @lavampira, @riftdancing, @thefreelanceangel @this-is-ris, @sealrock, @allyennah, @nidstiniens, @ishgard @zylphiacrowley, @hares-and-hounds, @starforger, @nhaneh, @airis-ray... and you!

If you'd like a chance of being tagged, you can like my permanent interaction call here!

[beadea-ffxiv]

ignore that I've done this before

WoL as different NPC types (without taking new photos):

Romancable NPC

"Despite her distaste for revealing clothing, the warm night — and her trust for you — provides the perfect excuse for Na'el to wear something different.

(you can't romance her though. either you remain friends or she romances you.)

Quest NPC

"Na'el stares at the wall, fingers fidgeting for her paintbrush, deep in thought..."

Final Boss NPC

"The woman you once knew as the level-headed Student of Baldesion has shown a new side of herself; one whose determination and willpower will never die. Words won't help you anymore. You must fight."

(I considered doing something with a Reaper glam bc Na'el's RPR lore is that, instead of forming a pact with a voidsent, she develops a wolf-like summon named Shuck that bears the remnant aether and the emanated wills and spirits of her fallen comrades and friends. In other words, her RPR familiar is the chimera ghost of her lost loved ones. However, this pose was just too dope.)

(I wasn't tagged but I stole this idea from @nhaneh and @wildstar25, and I pass it along to whoever else wants to do it. You can say I tagged you. I won't mind.)

Minfilia! Optionally also F'lhaminn!

Oh, how Ariane loved Minfilia. She was the first real friend Ariane had made since the Calamity, also also Ariane developed a massive unrequited crush on her very early. I mean, she assumed it was unrequited, but she never found the courage to confess her feelings... so we'll never know, will we. She's never quite forgiven herself for living Minfilia behind in the watercourse, even knowing it was truly Hydaelyn's will... a part of her will always wonder what would have happened had she just put her foot down and said, "No, I won't leave you."

F'lhaminn asking how she could have lost Minfilia in the aftermath... well, Ariane understands, but it certainly didn't help, and that shame at failing to protect her friend lingers whenever she's in F'lhaminn's presence, and for a long time she's not sure if F'lhaminn's really forgiven her. (She may well have, this is just something that still haunts Ariane.) This is somewhat mitigated by learning about F'lhaminn's role in the death of Minfilia's father, and also by helping her solve the mystery of Niellefresne's body. It's difficult telling F'lhaminn what happened in the First, but it's also the beginning of both of them accepting Minfilia's loss and starting to heal from it. I'm not sure they'll ever be close, but by this point I don't think either of them harbor ill feelings toward one another.

Minfilia tied into a lot of Ariane's complicated feelings about Hydaelyn, and her feelings that the price of being her chosen was apparently to have everyone she loved taken from her over and over again. She started to make peace with that after Minfilia goes to the First, as she begins to understand it was her choice to accept Hydaelyn's call. Seeing her one last time in the First gives Ariane some closure. The romantic feelings have mostly faded by then; she just misses her friend, and wishes it could have been different, but she can let her go to a well-deserved rest.

[eriyu]

well now I keep wanting to imagine Ehryu doing pictomancy

an angry you tried star falls from the sky crushing her enemies while "please die thanks <3" in flowing eorzean script hovers above

HELP........... THAT'S EXACTLY HOW IT WOULD GO.

i'm going to have to pick up PCT on her eventually, and i try to avoid spoilers for job quests before doing them myself, but i so hope there are gonna be opportunities to make it funny.

I admit...

@sea-wolf-coast-to-coast Writing Challenge has always been an inspiration for me to write. 90% of my "RP style Writing" is done in either Discord or In-Game. My most recent RP endeavors have been through: https://iyalibeauty.carrd.co/ Outside of that, the mental fog that COVID has left me with made writing difficult. Most of the prompts I was able to do for #FFXIVWrite2024 were due to short ideas I had already in mind. This time around, I had not only a character idea, but, the idea that the character was not in the WOL position, but, on an educational thesis regarding "Sharded People", IE: people who were part of the same "Shard" living in the same occurrence ((IE: People on the Source, who were parts of the same Shard of a person. Rather than being Shards of the "1St and Source" but both being Shards of the Source based on in-game RP)) Now that the #FFXIVWrite2024 has passed, I am at a loss of inspiration. My screenshots are all accidental. I was more of a creative writer, but have really been lacking not only inspiration, but, drive to be more creative with my writing. This isn't a request for inspiration, just, an observation of why my Tumblr seems to really drop off now. As for my OCs: Sahxa is very happily married to her Snowcatte Rocker Paladin of a wife with twin Miqo'kitts. Rehna, who is really my WoL character, is happily mated with her Viera lover, and a student of Sharlayan now, on research for her Archon status. Lhei, has attached himself to a Miqo'te Dragoon, and is in the process of working towards Ishgardian Citizenship. Kohl, well, her story line is VERY NSFW and limited ;) I do have 3 alts: One is for Screen Shot Crimes only. The 2nd is the character I use for spontaneous RP, though the issues with creativity had greatly limited her story line, she is the most adaptable. The 3rd, is a "Single Class" character with a growing backstory based on the lore openings created by Dawntrail. I may be slow to answer, but, random asks based on anything listed above will be answered. This isn't a "give me attention!" post, just a heads up, for those I have been interacting with more. As an aside: @nhaneh has an AMAZING! ship! their screenshots, and image story telling is absolutely Beautiful! @alannah-corvaine has been someone I have followed since my very beginning on FFXIV tumblr and has often been an inspiration to my own writing. @autumnslance is a storyteller who is just so skilled in their writing, I can't say enough. They too have been a huge inspiration to my writing. @hares-and-hounds is a new follow, who also has proven to be in depth with their story telling, and they have a new FC worth looking in to. @fheythfully just seems to throw up Screen shots that make my brain write up short stories based around those screen shots. Though, I have only put up One based on a screen shot, my mind has created so many many more, but, they require God Modding their characters and I don't want to do that. @gatheredfates has an entire discord that I need to get over my anxiety and join. They encourage writing!

@mythraltia was a great person to RP with on Tumblr. We never got the chance to RP in game, but, it was admittedly In-Game RP that caused me to take the character I was playing in a very different direction, I have never forgotten how much, and how easy it was to be on the same page with our RP.

There are many many others to explore in the FFXIV community! From Slice of Life stories/RP, to long term Stories/RP, and one shot encounters! There is an Entire World out there! Enjoy your Explorations!

I just did a quiz for Valoren and the results are eerily on-point. Thought I’d share the quiz with y’all!

What is your character’s core?

https://uquiz.com/quiz/qjxGLU/once-youre-stripped-clean-whats-at-your-core

Valoren’s result:

behind the mask — you aren’t slick about whatever you think you’re hiding. glass shatters in your midst, blood spills, children scream. like some of your friends, your personality of choice is entirely artificial. the difference between you and them is that you can get away with it. you’re unknown, perhaps even to yourself, and your goals are complex and unknown. anyone stupid enough to fall for you is setting themselves up to be frustrated and confused, owing to your being ultimately unknowable. i hope you can find an identity that makes you comfortable.

Tagging some people that I think might be interested! No pressure if you are tagged, and please feel free to join if you weren’t! (if I missed you I’m sorry, I just went through my recent notes xD)
