For Aoife: 3, 6, 13 because it's funny

For you: 20

This one is also going to be long!! and since I already answered 3 on 1nky's ask I'll just do the others

6. How does your oc feel about labels? Theirs, or in general?

Ok, assuming that xiv world has sexuality and gender identity labels the way we do (havent seen evidence to suggest this is the case yet, doesnt mean it wouldnt have them, etc etc), i don't think Aoife would be too keen to slap a label on herself. Polyamorous sure, but I think she'd feel some discomfort with advertising that she's "bisexual" - not that she's uncomfortable with her wlw thoughts, but since she's such a public figure, she wouldn't want to be held up as an example of "bisexual rep" or called a "bisexual icon" when she's mostly been involved with men. She would feel nervous about taking space away from people who express their bi-ness more visibly.

(disclaimer aoife's opinion on this is not reflective of my own, i have no problem being open as a bisexual while also being married to a man and i know that being in a m/f relationship doesn't negate my bisexuality)

13. Would your oc be open to a poly relationship? Why or why not?

LOL. LMAO. i know you know the answer to this but i appreciate you asking it for the funny anyway

Aoife is a poly force of nature with 3 current boyfriends, 1 genderfluid robot partner, and 1 guy i still count as her boyfriend/actively ship her with even though he's been dead for most of my time playing this game.

Aoife decided to go the poly route after she and Aymeric both realized they were also in love with Estinien at around the same time. The two of them ended up talking it out with each other and decided to try to make it work. They both pitched the idea of a relationship to him shortly before he left Ishgard post-hw (this is part of why he left lmao, he needed time to think about it but did eventually accept). Later on she added G'raha and Omega to the pile with the others' consent. Aoife only really does threesomes with Aymeric and Estinien though (and Omega in 2 different bodies, but, shh)

ANYWAY. Aoife's reasoning for her poly r/s is that she simply has too much love in her heart to confine it to just 1 person, and she'd rather everyone just be open and honest with each other. She gets different kinds of emotional fulfillment from each of her partners and feels like she would be unsatisfied just having to pick one of them.

20. Have your ocs helped you in self discovery? How?

you also know the answer to this one lmao. Anyway Aoife was the reason I realized/was finally willing to admit I was bi myself. Like not to be like "final fantasy made me gay" but final fantasy did make me gay. I love my wol as an extension of myself but i also do very much want her to be my girlfriend. you understand

i'd always appreciated women aesthetically but didnt think i was interested romantically or sexually (despite you know making 5 different asami sato clone female love interest ocs in college and thinking this didnt say anything about me personally. god i was so obvious about it). playing as aoife and enjoying dressing her up in sexy outfits for ME was what made me realize that hey yeah i think i do like women and i can feel comfortable saying that openly now

bc i mean LOOK AT HER. LIKE JESUS CHRIST

anyway yeah. women hot

My partner @rukewastestime has left a critter in my care.

How shall I care for them?

[brontozaurus]

WOOPS I typoed and meant to say Net, not Nest. Nest was uh, kind of self explanatory XD;

Net: Has there ever been a Pokemon you had difficulty catching?

So fucking many, but I’ve got to split the honour among Raikou, Entei and Suicune in Silver. I never caught them on my original game. Oh, I tried, but I couldn’t get them to stay still long enough to weaken or capture them. 

(It also didn’t help that the Fast Ball, theoretically the best option for these guys, was glitched and didn’t actually give a better catch rate for anything other than Grimer, Magnemite and Tangela, for some reason)

Oh, man… ) : Stiiiing, I’m so sorry all that happened. That was an awful move from your boss - when you get your next job, they better treat you right. *Hugs* All the luck, dude, and look after yourself! Please talk to us if you need to!

rukewastestime replied to your post:Sting's Life

jhdg HEY STING YOU’RE COOL I’M SORRY BAD STUFF HAPPENED, GOOD LUCK WITH FUTURE STUFF AAAAA /hugs tightly

I'm alright guys! Really!

Just... bitter right now. If I had know that they would do this I would have sought work at another place with telemarketing. A place selling new stuff every day and not always that great or even functional stuff. But they at least knew that people came and went with short notice so they gave payment from the start...

I don't know... I trusted this company so that was why I went to them. They call and sell to old customers that need refilling for their products and I thought I would be allowed to do that. But they only told us that we had to make customers to sell to old ones. 

We were three people that started Monday the 13th. One left that same Friday and the other one last Tuesday. I was getting used to things and I could have stayed longer, but I didn't sell well enough for their taste. 

So now the veterans in the company is continuing their work and they get the customers we managed to get them as old happy customers that they just have to call when it is time for the refill... So... We got to sell to the hard customers. And they to the easy ones... And I can't help but think that I could have done a lot better if I had gotten to talk to old customers and LEARNED how to sell to them first before being let loose on the new customers that required a lot more persuasion. You know? Learned how to talk on the phone before going through the lists and loosing them more customers than I got them because I didn't know how to sell them something. But no! All the old comfortable customers went to the veterans...

For Aoife: 3, 8, 14 and 39.

3. How do they put themselves to bed at night (reading, singing, thinking?)

I like to think that Aoife would want to read before bed, which is something she did a lot as a child - but since she usually sleeps in an inn I think she mostly prepares for bed by laying out the next day's outfit and making sure Edison and Sorrel have their assignments for the morning.

8. What were they told to stop/start doing most often as a child

Aoife had to be told to do her math homework u_u she didnt mind chores but often went out of her way to avoid math assignments (much to her merchant parents' chagrin)

14. What animal do they fear most?

I actually had to give this some thought because I'd never really thought about it? As an adventurer she's used to being around (and killing) animals of all shapes and sizes so I'd never considered her being afraid of one...

i can think of animals she doesn't like looking at but not any that put the fear of god in her lmao

39. How easy is it for them to ignore flaws in other people? 

This depends entirely on if she likes them. she is known to ignore qualities in her crushes that would otherwise be glaring red flags (g'raha's idolizing, omega's having done a lot of murder) and is quick to forgive friends for their faults. if she doesn't like someone, though, it can take ages for her to let it go.

1nky Recounts a Part In Endwalker In Greater Detail Than Usual Part I

so it hit me that I literally will not be able to post screenshots on Twitter from Endwalker anymore, however Vague, because basically every single detail I wanna comment on is a Spoiler.

So I decided to just have some commentary on This Part In Particular - or namely, that Part Between Levels 86-87, I Think

Anyway, enjoy.

YES.

You bastard. You maniac. You dipweed.

I missed you.

And Hythlodaeus has been given a face! Much more prettier than I'd originally imagined, after meeting him as a Shade.

Some things don't change over the millenia, huh?

Well, you do seem notably Happier right now.

doN'T be FUCKING MEAN

You know, when looking for Hermes, this wasn't what I was expecting.

Meteion's Cute, but reeks of Experiment Going Wrong. ) :

The Soul behind the Final Days, everyone.

I would like to thank my partner @rukewastestime for helping me bully Emet-Selch a little.

Granted, Hythlodaeus may be caught in the blast, but I think he'll just find it Funny.

Oh, okay. Ahem.

in retrospect this ended up being relevant

Maybe not intentionally, but the way you are right now, you seem kinda like a Powder Keg in these circumstances. ) :

) :

YOU

... I have been slightly Wary of Hydaelin since Shadowbringers, but with that said, I am Super Happy to meet her heart.

OH SHIT???

I kinda love that. Of course she was also an Adventurer of her time.

... but then of course she notices the Time Travel Shenanigans immediately and the jig's up.

alright how badly have we fucked up the timeline

heheheh

i'm sorry my dude but you look a lot like Xemnas Kingdomhearts

Also Many Thousands of Years of Depression and the death of half your people in a society where Suffering had little impact/occurrence means you will Cope Badly.

look I know it's a cultural difference, but there is something jarring about all these people going "Man, I can't wait for you to die! : D You deserve it so much!" Venat: ... thank

I really liked this part. :' ) Talking with the person who retroactively gave us this quest to begin with, asking how our adventures have gone - and us telling it all to her. I Noticed that Haurchefant Emote, too. :' ) alright this is where I stopped playing my last session, and the next part will be the Rest Of Elpis.

where uh

Hm.

[that1nkyone]

I’m being Trapped. She’s so clever and Good.

@rukewastestime

[that1nkyone]

I'm watching The Muppet Christmas Carol, have you seen it? :D

I have!!! I was sadly not a Muppets kid growing up, but @rukewastestime learned I hadn't seen it a couple years back, and sat me down to watch it.

I should see it again this year. :' >

[that1nkyone]

I'm so glad you're being responsible and Adult, so you can wake up early and play Sonic Adventure 2 Battle.

Ruke

[that1nkyone]

Uh-oh.

(Made a little Avatar set for myself and my boyfriend @rukewastestime. Time to go ham on the spooky month!)

[that1nkyone]

In which Ruke and 1nky discuss the newest Sonic movie poster.

1nky: dude i'd spent all day trying to forget that

Ruke: they made a poster from his dick's pov

1nky: I'M REMINDED

1nky: OF THE FUCKING SONIC DREAMS COLLECTION

Ruke: y eop

1nky: THE SONIC MOVIE IS JUST MAKING ME THINK ABOUT THAT COLLECTION

1nky: SPECIFICALLY THE ONE GAME WHERE YOU TICKLE SONIC'S FEET, GAZE INTO HIS SINGLE VORTEX OF AN EYE AND GET PLANTED INTO A REALITY WHERE YOU, THE HEADLESS PROTAGONIST, IS NOW A WELL-TONED VERSION OF SONIC.

Ruke:

Ruke: you've taken it too far

[that1nkyone]

my dude @rukewastestime and i telling it like it is

(i dunno what we’re standing on, maybe a huge sign with said infodumping)

[that1nkyone]

Tonight in: Ruke and 1nky talk about Deep Things.

1nky: The world's a weird mix of miraculous and unfair.

Ruke: Yeah.

Ruke: Like

Ruke: there are a lot of people in the world

Ruke: something might seem very unlikely, either good or bad, but we have so many people doing so many things

1nky: Yeaah.

Ruke: Someone wins the lottery every time they hold one.

Ruke: that's maybe not strictly true, but

Ruke: i'm a maths major, i have to think about these things XD;

1nky: Oh yeah, definitely.

1nky: Like, numbers and patterns and statistics are a Big Part of it. Pretty much all of it, really.

1nky: but looking at it's like looking at a several-litre-filled tank of alphabet soup

Ruke: Some of those letters are gonna form words.

1nky: Some of those words are gonna be nasty.

Ruke: If you put in spaghetti-o's by mistake, then they'll all be spooky

1nky: And what if the person stirring all that soup gets tired?

1nky: ...

1nky: I don't know where I was going with this.

Ruke: ...

Ruke: I would love to know the end to that thought.

1nky: well

1nky: maybe they take a bath in the soup to replenish themselves, and eat some of the soup. And the soup would be still for a bit, and maybe be stuck. But the person would resume their job and maybe make more soup to replace what they've taken.

1nky: And the soup goes from being still to spiralling out into new formations of letters and the cycle continues.

Ruke:......

Ruke: i think you need to drink some water
