20-something y/o, any pronouns (they/them preferred). FFXIV: Elspeth Belrose @ Seraph. Probably some kind of multifandom, though I tend to rotate between specific hyperfixations. RTs may be 🔞.

IT HAS BEEN DONE!!!!!!
A Final Fantasy XIV screenshot from the Arcadion M8S/Howling Blade raid, showing the "Duty Complete" victory screen. Another Final Fantasy XIV screenshot from the same M8S raid, this one showing the "AAC Cruiserweight Tier (Savage) Complete!" victory screen.

M8S PHASE 2 HAS BEEN REACHED
Screencap of Final Fantasy XIV gameplay, showing the phase transition of the Howling Blade savage raid. Howling Blade, transformed into a monstrous new form, looms over the party, while saying "No matter what becomes of my body - defeat is not an option!"

Joined an M8S party which somehow took me all the way from Decay prog to seeing Terrestrial Rage!

Now let's see if I can replicate this tomorrow.

M7S cleared!!

I'll probably do M8S on Monday. Tomorrow I procrastinate on finishing up my Bozja relic.

Re-upload of the second image because it somehow turned out blank when I uploaded it:

PUDDING ALONE IS AWFULLY DULL, DON'T YOU THINK?
An FFXIV screenshot of M6S's infamous add phase. A Dark Knight is tanking the following enemies: Sugar Riot, three Mus, a Yan, a Feather Ray, and a Gimme Cat (but not a Jabberwock, which is on the edge of the screen moving towards someone else). The Dark Knight is staying alive thanks to Living Dead, but the timer's only got 6 seconds left on it so they'll die soon.

Status update! I cleared M5S last week; not quite the week 1 clear I wanted but I'll take it.

I don't know when our static is gonna be doing M6S, though. I really want to get the Yan Ranch experience sooner than later, but for the sake of my mental health I won't PF it.

Dropping by for a little bit to show some wonderful sketch comms I got from @/nightlyvel.bsky.social, of my FFXIV WoL Elspeth and my Legends Arceus OC Morgan!
Two sketches side to side in a portfolio. The left is a Hyur from FFXIV wearing armor and carrying a sword over her shoulder with a confident smile; the right is a Pokémon Trainer in a hat and short kimono, wearing a serious expression

3. The Day The Earth Blew Up: A Looney Tunes Movie

This was very funny, and more cleverly written than I thought it would be. Give it a watch to support it (especially after WB tried to bury it)!

Gonna tell my kids this was Yugioh 5D's
Call the Spirit Dragons WUBRG Enchantment Dragons you control have indestructible. At the beginning of your upkeep, for each color, put a +1/+1 counter on a Dragon you control of that color. If you put +1/+1 counters on five dragons this way, you win the game.

Me going through Yoshino Nanjo songs because she's gonna be singing for 7.2's Unreal, and listening to Only My Railgun for the first time in 13-14 years:

I have created a new glam around the Inferno Jacket!

I have half a mind to make this Elspeth's canon casual outfit post-Solution Nine. Not quite Everkeep fashion, but drawing from them a little bit.
Screenshot of my Final Fantasy XIV character standing in the Empyreum district of Ishgard while carrying a glowing sword over her back. She has short red hair and is wearing a black-and-white biker jacket, blue pants, and rimless glasses. Standing next to her is a tiny cactus person flexing their muscles.

age yourself with a cartoon you watched as a child

This particular incarnation of Transformers is what introduced young me to the wonderful world of giant robots.

Personally, I think my parses are kinda funny. You can tell that I just did not care for reclearing any more than it took me to get DRK BiS.

If you see this, I invite you to post a picture from your device without explanation.
A Twitter post from Rata/Rank10YGO, which is quote-retweeting his own post from June 19, 2019. The quote-retweeted post reads "I do not know with what cards Master Rule 5 will be played, but Master Rule 6 will be played with Normal Monsters and battle traps". The quote-retweet from Rata, dated to September 29, 2024, just shows the Japanese logo for Yu-Gi-Oh! Rush Duel.

Image of a pizza where every other slice is taken, leaving half of a pizza which looks like a rotary fan. The pizza slices are overlaid with effects simulating purple electricity, and in the center of the pizza is Wicked Thunder. (disclaimer: this is also not my image either)

Image of Honey B. Lovely overlaid over the image of a traffic quiz, which originally depicts a three-way intersection with one car per lane. Three of Honey B's Alarm Pheromones arrow markers are overlaid over the three cars, one each. The top text of the image reads "Let's see who can Alarm Pheromones!" while the bottom text reads "what's the correct order?" The top two replies (both sent from the same person) read: "all 16 at same time" "but watch out" (Disclaimer: this is not my image, I don't take credit for making it)
