Final Fantasy XIV lifer and roleplayer, occasionally other things. (she/they/he any/all enby) (pfp by https://matchasakura.carrd.co/ )

My Boys (FFXIV OCs):
Darien - https://dariencadell.carrd.co/
Daen - https://disdaenful.carrd.co/
Yeeeah, launch was 08/27 lol. I was actually surprised they included the open beta ones, but I guess it ran through into launch?

EONS HAVE PASSED. EONS.

I'm a lifer.

I DID IT! IT'S STILL FALL! I title things by date, so I know I started it in July of last year, ughhhh, but gosh darn it, it's done and delivered.

Guess now it's time brush the dust off the old epic.

WELP! September is over and I failed to finish my "highlander" story for #FFXIVFinishItFall In my defense, I got sick twice in a row and didn't get back to it until, uh... 3 days ago? But I finished Ch.2, so I'm calling that a win! And October's still fall, so I'll keep trying!

Sooo... I don't know these people and am merely a lurker on their periphery, but this gave me a curiosity that I feel compelled to force on the people who know Darien. THIS IS WHAT I MEAN. I cannot change his hair! He becomes a completely different person if I try! No matter what the change!

Cool cool cool. Love being extorted by Microsoft. It's my favorite thing. Couldn't just do the same thing they've been doing for as long as they've been doing things, could they? Must enshittify wherever possible. 🙄

Not that there's any light to be found in these. And I only post this because I finished the first one!

✔️pirate!

Real problem is I have new things I want to start, fffff.

So I don't think Darien does a whole lot of cute, despite his semi-himbo nature, but I idly scrolled through the pictures I have in case any of them jumped out, and this one made me laugh. 😁

Love the chance to bring up the gull. Followed Darien home from ocean fishing one day and is now a strangely permanent fixture. He tries to keep it out of the house, but it's harder than you might think. He forgets it's even there; it's so omnipresent. Possibly Darien's actual best friend.

I... I'm trying to stay true to character, but... the chaos is so damn strong lolololol

If you see this, post your top 5 on repeat

NO APOLOGIES

I switched to Deezer about a month ago, but I haven't done a long replay session recently anyway

Pretty Little Baby actually makes no sense to me. EMELINE's STRUT is next on the list and that I've replayed a LOT.

I have... done this/do this for special occasions. There's not a whole lot Darien would "never" wear, but some things need a promised payoff to convince him.
July 18, 2025 at 2:47 PM
Another one! I can't believe it's the first time I've bothered to do literally any PvP ever and the reward is a heckin bug lol

I, uhh... Darien doesn't have the kind of morals that would make this a problem. He'd sit with chin in hands and listen to the man talk until there was nothing left to say. 😏 Another one for the "I could write it" books that I'll probably never write. Thankfully, Darien never went to the First~
June 14, 2025 at 3:58 PM
The actual earliest shot of him I have is this, 9 days earlier, but I apparently wasn't nearly as screenshot-happy in 2013 as I am now. 😄
June 8, 2025 at 1:54 PM
I love when this comes up. Darien in 2013, fishing. And Darien in 2025, still fishing. But now he's on the moon.

without downloading any new pics where are you mentally
June 1, 2025 at 4:26 PM
No, seriously. I had a flashback to Ashley's uber-pixelated PS1-era face and immediately thought "DARIEN?!" Ashley's way cooler than Darien, but I think I might have unintentionally infused Darien with a fairly high dose of Ashley's "sad edgy man who hits things to fix problems"-ness.

Root beer. 😈

I could see him being deep into the cola wars, but on like the side of something no one cares about, like RC.
May 19, 2025 at 4:06 PM
I, uhhh...

This: is why I always queue DPS for 8-24 man roulettes, *no matter what* it says is in need. This was healer in need. I don't know how much longer it was going to make me wait, because I got tired of scrolling and logged out. TBF, it's off-peak during a content lull, but still, I shoulda gone DPS.

That one. As a toddler, got hold of a lance and tripped over it. Technically the first time he died. He has no mental image of himself without it, so it follows him. (Also two pairs of glasses lol)
