I'm also MelodicBlue, but I have Sprout pals & I try to keep them un-spoilered, so late game stuff is here. Unhinged about #Norvrandt, #EorzeanMuseums, but also #LoveAndDeepspace

Same XD ❤️

I still have *some* of my VHS tapes (and a VCR to play them on), as well as a ton of DVDs (the DVDs are not pictured here).
Photo of a narrow wire bookshelf holding at least 4 shelves worth of anime VHS tapes, from Cowboy Bebop the Movie, a number of the Dragonball Z and Sailor Moon movies, multiple Dragonball Z sagas from the TV show, Princess Mononoke, Neon Genesis Evangelion, and the original Ranma 1/2. Behind the shelf, hanging on the wall is an old Final Fantasy X wall scroll.

I caught my first Aquamaton! Another ShB Legendary down! Only Lancetfish continues to evade my hooks...
Screen snip from Final Fantasy 14 showing Melodic sitting on the bridge at Seagazer Shoals fishing hole in Kholusia. A fish print of Aquamaton has appeared in the center of the screen overlaying the fish-catch pop-up that includes the name, icon, and level for the fish as well as the size, 72.8 ilms in this case. Text across the screen reads, Data on the aquamaton is added to your fish guide.

I mostly avoided the Oracle of Stars event because it was too risky, but I did manage to get the purple ears so I could finally dress my MC up as my WoL!

#LaDS #LoveAndDeepspace
Melodic, Love and Deepspace MC version, sports long flowing purple hair and purple eyes, and has purple cat ears patched atop her head. She's dressed in a fancy, sleeveless black gown with elegant jewelry around her neck. She smiles gently at the person behind the camera and music notes drift in the air around her.

I am forever obsessed with their hands and the nature of touch between Sylus and MC. Like, even taking sexual things out of the equation, Sylus has beautiful hands. There's so much narrative significance in how their hands touch and I just love it so much.

#LoveAndDeepspace #Sylus
Two hands, frozen in the process of connecting and intertwining fingers during a dance. The upper hand is smaller and more delicate, wearing a wrist-length fingerless glove, her fingers slightly curling towards the hand below. The lower hand is larger with long, elegant fingers. A black ribbon winds around the hand and wrist up towards the elbow, almost like a boxer's wrist-wraps. His fingers lightly support the upper hand, index and middle fingers caressing near the top of her palm, while his ring and pinkie fingers and thumb curl around her wrist.

Y'all! I donated to @fauxycreations.bsky.social 's charity fundraiser during the All Tanks Wake stream and won the doodle raffle, and last night my WoL was adorably immortalized in doodle form! Please perceive her in her Fisher Pan-Glam singing songs about catching Big Fish!
A digital chibi doodle of Melodic Cerulean, the purple-haired moonkeeper miqo'te dressed in bright blue boots, yellow pants, and a bright pink shirt that represent the pansexual flag. Her ears poke through the openings on the sides of her brown, leather angler's hat, and a set of sunglasses with purple lenses are perched on her nose. With one hand over her heart and the other flung out to her side, she closes her eyes as she cheerfully sings, and her left foot taps a beat. All set against a decorative mint green and purple background with perky yellow music notes. Art by TheFauxSnyder

An inflatable frog? Ah no, es un elote!

This delightful Cornservant gave me popcorn when I have them one of my stickers!

#GateWayFate
A person with pale skin, blond hair and wire-rimmed glasses poses while wearing an inflatable costume of an ear of corn, still partially in its husk. The same corn cosplayer, but zoomed out to show the patterned wrap around the "hips" of the corn, showing it's not just any ear of corn, it's the Cornservant from Final Fantasy 14 Dawntrail! In the background other attendees at Gateway Fate socialize and build with LEGO.

Did you buy tickets for the FFXIV Fisher Aquarium Meetup from @fisherfruity.bsky.social but you did NOT sign up for the bus, i.e. you are getting yourself to and from the aquarium, then you will come see me to pick up your tickets (and pay if you haven't yet)! We are INSIDE by the pumpkins.
A fish mural points towards the glass paned entrance to St. Louis Union Station Aquarium Melodic, a brown-haired White woman in a black apron with a yellow chocobo on it stands in front of a boat full of pumpkins in the Aquarium lobby. She's wearing a white N95 mask, a dark blue fish bandana, and a headband with three blue exclamation points.

As much as I like writing Sylus/MC fanfic, I really enjoy any opportunity to include Luke and Kieran. They are the second set of twins in a video game that I've adopted and I want so many good things for these boys. This is a bit of a sad-ish moment though:

#LoveAndDeepspace #LADS #Sylus
Excerpt from a fanfic written on Ellipsus: He'd even almost laughed when they'd told him that they wanted to serve him so they could stay close and see if anyone out there is actually strong enough to kill him. Over the next two years, Sylus had accepted them as his hands and taught them so many things--weaponscraft, demolitions, interrogation techniques...but also driving, motorcycle repair, shaving, videogaming, music appreciation-- "Hey." Luke quietly interrupts their reverie as the sun starts to dip lower in the sky. "Do you think she could do it? Kill him, I mean." Kieran frowns. "You know...she gets stronger every time we see her. I think she could, maybe. If not now, then someday." Luke sighs, unusually somber. "Honestly, even if she can, I kinda hope she won't." "Yeah. Me too."

Did you know that he glows in the dark? :3
God of Annihilation Zayne stands with Goddess MC in the Glint Photo Studio using the space galaxy backdrop. They are turned to be out of the light to the point that they're almost just silhouettes, but all the gold trim on Zayne glows in the dark, as does the golden chain of power binding the two of them together.

But this time, my beloved "Indicator NPCs" said something different. This indicates Thunderstorms B which is for 6 classes instead of 5 and brings MIN and BTN back into action after being left out of Thunderstorms A entirely.
"Severe thunderstorms are approaching!" "If the storms get too close, we're in trouble..." "It's time we prepared the backup systems."

In case you didn't know, there is a trio of NPCs that appear when the Red Alert 5m warning pops up at the top of your screen. They have a conversation that indicates which variant of Red Alert you're about to have. I've been reading the same hint for a few weeks now for Thunderstorms A:
"Severe thunderstorms are approaching!" "Our machinery could be in grave danger!" "We'll need to ensure we have ample supplies."

This has been absolutely incredible! I legitimately spent the last two matches for #TeamSnackables like this:
Close-up of Melodic the purple-haired Keeper of the Moon miqo covering her mouth with her hands, staring in shock and amazement.

No matter how many times I go there, my brain always reads the title as "Esports". Every damn time.

Yesterday's Coils of Bahamut stream with Colin and Bethan was absolutely amazing! Go watch the VOD! Although I used my EU Melodic for his Syrcus Tower run, I simply had to bring Meowlisaie over from Goblin for Coils, and was thrilled I could make it into the group for Turn 1 of the Second Coil!
Another shot of Alisaie and Meowlisaie from the cutscene at the start of Turn 1 of Second Coil of Bahamut, standing side by side and showing how similar they are. The text box for Alisaie's dialogue reads: How strange. Why could we not see all this before? Party member portrait from the start of a dungeon: Meowlisaie Leveileur, Red Mage. Meowlisaie, the white-haired femme miqo dressed up as the NPC Alisaie, glares at the camera in frustration, her tail fluffed up and tense in the background. Set against a red background, she's shouting something indignantly. Black action lines frame her pose with intensity, with a blue and white exclamation point in the bottom right corner as an accent piece. A party of adventurers stands with Alisaie at the start of Turn 1 of the Second Coil of Bahamut. From left to right, a Miqo'te Dark Knight dressed as Fray, a pink-haired Raen Au Ra Warrior, a tall, white-haired Elezen Summoner, a pink-haired Lalafel White Mage, a pink-haired Viera Astrologian, the young Elezen NPC Alisaie, a white-haired Miqo'te Red Mage dressed identically to Alisaie, a black-haired Viera Viper with reddish-pink highlights, and the silver-haired Elezen Bard played by Colin Ryan.

Here's Melodic Cerulean, having fun in the sun with the camera emote after doing some cliff-side fishing in her Pan-glam!
Melodic, a purple-haired, pale-skinned moonkeeper Miqote in an angler's hat and pink, short-sleeved button-up shirt smiles at the camera, while holding an instant camera of her own. A photo sticks out from the top of the camera, as if it had just been taken. The sun shines down on the carts and tents of Tulliyollal in the background. Melodic dressed in an angler's hat, pink shirt, yellow pants, and blue boots (like the pan flag) sits on a stool at the edge of a cliff, fishing into the abyss below.

Last minute quick-paint entry for the #EMNPrideFish, 'cause I'm a messy noodle of a Pan!
A cute, hand-drawn line art of an eel like from a coloring book. The eel has been colored in messily with digital watercolor in the pink, yellow, and blue of the Pansexual pride flag.

Due to DC-travel and housing limitations, we're hosting this event at The Norvrandt Visitors Bureau; this Dynamis-based facility is more accessible, with an event space on the main level and a gallery of exhibit previews upstairs to give you a taste of what you'll find when you visit our museums!
A lalafell dressed as Tyr Beq from the Pixie Dreamspinner allied society quests poses with their arms flung wide, encouraging the viewer to look at a mini-exhibit of the Longmirror Lake region of Il Mheg. Above against a pink floral partition is a painting of Lyhe Ghiah, the Fae castle that sits in the middle of Longmirror Lake. Directly below it is a painting of the Deepwood Swim, which has been set inside a fish tank with Poecilia and Mirrorfish, and a Stuffed Fuath to represent the explorable zone beneath the lake's surface.

So I don't usually participate in #XIVRarePairWeek but after spending so much time on the moon studying the Red Alerts, this guy is really growing on me. Might be fun for my research (and interest) to be canonical for Melodic--I'm loudest about G'raha but she's got a sort of poly-pile of her own.
A handsome Elezen man with short, blue-green hair with mint streaks that flops over one of his two gold-hued eyes stands with his hands on his hips, surveying the activities of the exploratory base in Sinus Ardorum amidst an Astromagnetic Storm. Etheirys can be seen in the background.

Here's the card with alt text for screen readers!
Magic the Gathering Card: Namazu Trader. Art of a cheerful Namazu (anthropomorphized catfish) in festival attire leans on the counter of a warmly lit wooden stall, holding an oval-shaped gold piece in its left fin. Other gold pieces are scattered on the countertop. Card text: Creature - Fish Citizen. When this creature enters, you lose 1 life and create a Treasure token. Whenever this creature attacks, you may sacrifice another creature or artifact. If you do, surveil 2. (Look at the top two cards of your library, then put any number of them into your graveyard and the rest on top of your library in any order.) 3/4. FFXIV Andrea Montalto. FF Square Enix & Wizards of the Coast.
