I'm dying over here because someone asked about the difference between Khan and Khagan wrt Pritzker. I explained, since I know this because of my learnings and because I play Final Fantasy XIV. See, video games are educational!

Posting another pic of my lizard boi because I do love him. He's wearing the Turali Traveler's Shirt over the Nomad's Trousers of Casting; he's genuinely fascinated by how similar Turali clothing patterns are to many of those on the Steppe.

Ogdred: TREATS!

Me: Nope, it’s not 3 yet. You still have 25 minutes left. See? Two and five. *holds up fingers*

Ogdred: *wonders why Mom is waving her fingers around* TREATS NOW!

He voices one of my favorite Final Fantasy XIV NPCs, Lord Commander Aymeric de Borel of Ishgard, aka the prettiest man in the game. I love his voice.

I have no idea what you’re talking about, so here’s me with a bi pride dinosaur on my head. (RIP Oolong) @mostlybree.kitrocha.com

I came home and crashed and now it’s 2 am and I’m eating rainbow sherbet out of my Gaius mug while I doomscroll and read fic because this is my life.

Ogdred is not impressed.

I feel like a former Sharran asking for purple mushrooms for a pizza is a red flag. Also, I love mods.
