#send me FF16 stuff

[vprosper]

I'm very much still excited about FF16, and currently not in any discords as I'm too much of a noob to find them... Feel free to ask/discuss anything with me!

I think a lot of people are forgetting that on tumblr fandom used to be practiced very differently. now everyone fucks off to their discords or tumblr groups to discuss everything with a select few, making tags be nearly only used for posting some finished fanworks or not at all

a decade ago people didn't have tumblr groups. people didn't even have dms. if you wanted to talk to anyone about anything you had to make a post, or send an ask (which more often than not would get published and thereby become a post in the end too)

so next time you think "I have a fandom thought but I have to find a small group of hyperspecifically like-minded people to share it with in private" remember all the freaks you could be missing out on meeting by keeping the tags dead. use tags, make friends. fuck discord.

you didnt reblog it but I'm sending anyway ahahahHA

11/ What's something you saved up for and then regretted buying?

15/ Do you go down each aisle when you grocery shop, or only the ones you know you need stuff from?

21/ Last concert you attended?

I didn't reblog because despite being 31 I still live with parents and I'm a loser shut-in that is still trying to get somewhere through studies (kill me), so I'm sure I wouldn't be able to reply so many of those-

ANYWAY

11/ What's something you saved up for and then regretted buying?

Similarly to your situation...PS5

I literally bought it to play FF16 when it first came out and I didn't use it FOR ANYTHING ELSE

it's a fucking overpriced paperweight, I use my computer way more for like any other game (I should've waited for FF16 to come out in PC, alas...)

15/ Do you go down each aisle when you grocery shop, or only the ones you know you need stuff from?

Depends on the day. I'm usually pretty straightforward, but if I have a sweet tooth that day, I go around the ones with snacks and sweets and stuff...I always fall for temptation because I have no self-control

21/ Last concert you attended?

I've never been to a concert in my miserable life LMAO

but tbf I still think I would get too anxious in crowded places with super loud sounds- even conventions make me tense af so...

BYF:

Please dont use or copy my specific zenix design. Please. the big x-scar one specifically. this is over very private reasons, i did not mean for my design to get so popular with the fandom.

I won't reply to every ask cuz i'm at work a lot and im tired. i also tag them as #asks. if i dont post your ask for a while, just send in another one asking about it

I headcanon Zenix as an adult in MCD S1/Rebirth, then in his 30's in MCD S2-3. (Vylad too) so i draw/headcanon/ship him as such.

Some of my posts/grammar might be barely coherent please bear with me or ignore them. i got stuff in my brain.

I'm not really comfortable with minors DMing me unless it's something important or a question or a small convo.

Proshippers/incest likers DNI i do not respect you people in the slightest 👎👎

I'm the anon who made the request with the FF16 Girls. Unfortunately there aren't many wholsome scenes in the game that I missed exactly those kind of moments. But you wrote the drabble so well, as if it came from the game itself!!! 💕 Seriously, you are our FF16 writing queen and I love everything you've written now. When I have a bad day I always come back to your blog and reread your stuff because your writing always cheers me up. Thank you for existing and for enriching us with your writing!! ❤️

And also thank you for writing my request. That means so much to me! I was afraid to ask because it was very specific but I am so glad that I did. I just loved everything about it ❤️ and the last scene with Joshua made me feel so many emotions 😩❤️❤️

Aww, anon ❤️ This is such a sweet message - thank you so much. And to see that you reread my stuff is such an honour - you've put a smile on my face!

I'm so glad you liked it. Please don't be afraid to send requests - I really love receiving them. I've got a bit of a backlog in my ask box so it might take me a while, I've got some that I'm really excited to get into cos the prompts are so good (like yours!)

Thank you again so much xx

FF16 Blogging: I just got back from Kanver. Spoilers and whatnot.

I’ve only been playing a little bit for the last couple of days. And I don’t feel like I’ve hit any big “aha!” moments in the story.

Like first, after Twinside, was the “go around and see how shitty things are” quest where you have to help Martha’s Rest, Northreach, Dalimil. And basically, whatever Primogenesis does, exactly, it’s fuckin’ things up. The sky is all weird, there’s aether and akashic popping up everywhere, Ultima’s thralls are causing trouble, and governments basically aren’t a thing anymore on Storm, so there’s like anarchy and lots of bandits and other ne’er-do-wells are running rampant. Okay, got it.

Then you go Kanver to help Mid and Gav, except nothing really happens there. You’re too late to save the city, Harbard challenges you and then just kind of dies for no adequately explored reason. The most interesting part was Barnabas showing how powerful he actually is by giving you what-for. Annnnnd he’s kidnapped Jill. Great. I mean, I was gonna have to go to Waloed anyway. But I’m miffed she’s been fridged.

I guess it’s kinda cool that Joshua has had this whole secret service/CIA network at his disposal the whole time. But he hasnt yet explained how he came to find out about Ultima and its machinations. Also, and this is fandom-brain, but are he and Jote a thing? The way he kisses her forehead has a kind of intimacy, but it’s almost more fraternal. And there was something in the scene where he meets Mid and is all formal with her, which she doesn’t know how to take, that made me wonder.

I’m still trying to work out what Mythos and Ultima are, exactly. Like, in an ontological sense. Some of Harbard/Barnabas’s comments (“Mythos is everything”) have me really curious for them to nail that down, but I don’t know how much they’re really going to explain it. I guess we’ll see.

Most of what I have this time is stray thoughts, though:

I finally beat Atlas (at lvl 38), but damn if it didn’t take everything I had (including 2 Elixirs), plus Joshua and Jill’s help.

I dunno what’s going on with Oscar. But sure, send him to help rebuild Eastpool; there’s some poetry in that.

Lol @ Clive’s terrible acting in Dalimil. And also the clear LotR reference in the name Underhill. Doesn’t L’ubor even say something like “we don’t want to do the name Underhill a disservice?” Mmhm. I see you.

Some of the sidequests from the Hideaway in this bit were kind of fun. Clive’s a good teacher—the way he responds to the kids who are rebuilding Mid’s scales by indulging their questions while gently pointing them back on track—that was a really well-written bit that did a lot for him as a character in my mind. Also, I love the way he’s kind of afraid of Charon during that quest with “Wetlegs” and stuff. He’s a likeable guy—gruff, but with a soft, creamy interior.

So there’s that quest when you’re on the way to Kanver where you help the dying Republican soldiers deal with some akashic and, at the end, instead of being grateful, the guy you save is super pissed off cos he knows who you are and hates you. I let him live instead of fighting him, which I feel was the morally correct choice, but is that gonna bite me in the ass later? Cos he did swear revenge and all.

I forget exactly how it happened, but I have a note appreciating that they worked in the Phoenix Down. It’s such an iconic item.

Oh, and I finished the Quinten/Lostwing quest. There’s a lot in this game about like, finding purpose. I’d wanna play through it again with this in mind, but it’s interesting to see how it’s functioning as a piece of art created in the current socio-political environment.

I dunno. Again, I feel like I haven’t accomplished much in the past few hours of play. But I also feel like it’s the calm before the storm of the final push. Presumably I’m gonna cross over to Ash next, and whatever’s going on there is gonna be (had better be) crazy.

Just want to clarify that my intention isnt to write 2 things and then disappear again QKFKALFKSOD ff16 came out and now I'm reading again at work 🥴 but every time yall reply or send me stuff quick little snippets of writing pop up in my head so like. I'll probably just be low activity/slow reply while I'm here 👍
