Finally made a carrd - this is still a work in progress, but I'm pleased with how it's coming together so far and I really appreciate everyone who encouraged me to try it.

Vaccines save lives.

Since I saw multiple posts about exes and past relationships last night, I've got Rain'li's on my mind. His first romance and first ex was Koana. The two fell for each other when they were both students. Rain'li, the asshole, broke up with him in a letter when he ran away to Eorzea.

Not to be too on brand over here, but one of my biggest pet peeves when watching a movie is literally any time someone immediately yanks a foreign object out of a stab wound. No!! Don't do that!!!!

Just released: Draw & Sheathe for SGE VFX mod

Features 9 colors for draw/sheathe at the moment, and considering adding more/separating the draw & sheathe colors for a mix-and-match option. Lemme know if that's something you'd want to see.

PWYW (or free) at my Ko-Fi now: ko-fi.com/s/f67691715f

Sorry for the US politics, scroll past if you don't want the bummer, but fuck.

Meningitis. They took *MENINGITIS* off the childhood vaccine schedule. The recommended vaccine schedule was 17 doses when I woke up this morning. It is now *11*. People are going to die. Children are going to die. Fuck.

Porn and erotica are important and societally valuable forms of speech, and the defense of them, in the face of state and church attempts at repression, is a necessary political act.

I think Koana's patience has just about run out. B'alith's luck, however...

Reminder that the stealth ending to the Ala Mhigo half of Stormblood is hidden in the Endwalker healer role quests. They are very much worth your time if you haven't done them yet.

Thank you so much to @healstick.bsky.social for the opportunity! It was an absolute pleasure to create this piece of Rain'li, and for the festive month too!!

And that's the Stormblood MSQ finished! Going through that story on a healer really feels like it gives you a lot to chew on.

If it makes sense, sure, but there are so many ages that I just look at and go no???????? This game is for some reason allergic to the idea of major characters that are over 25, and that's not my problem. I stuck a pin in the time bubble and give the expansions about 12-15 years to breathe.
#wolqotd (kinda)

The Encyclopaedia Eorzea books provide ages for NPCs: how do you "treat" this piece of info within your own wol's lore/timeline?
Are they canon? If so at which point in time? Or do you adjust them to your personal timeline? Or perhaps it's all the "1 year time bubble"?

I've been using this replay to drink in as much lore as I can in the little moments between quests, and I *love* the small worldbuilding details like these soldiers in prayer.

I remain confused by the fact that Gyr Abania has lochs and Il Mheg has lakes.

I was referencing Encyclopedia Eorzea III last night, and a new Rain'li character trait just dropped.

As far as MMOs or MMO-adjacent games my only other one at the moment is Warframe. (Psst, come closer - do you want complex science fiction and deep character writing in a non-exploitative free game with a passionate dev team who hired a romance author to write their dialogue system?)
Sort of a #wolqotd but more for the players, because I'm curious:

Do you play any games other than FFXIV? Or is FFXIV the one for you?
