I just want to apologize for my recent absence. I am holding a dozen excuses and here is this blog post to talk about what I have been going through in the past months... and now I can finally explain what actually happened.

[2D cel-shaded Drawing of the S-rank Hunt Elite Mark The Forecaster from the Living Memory zone in Final Fantasy XIV]
Drawn, written, and designed by Floon Drif of Faerie](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:mqpkr376ova4mdhcs3o3jo7x/bafkreicagnalbvaqkx4hvrntewca4qfstm6jnf5hwuqp7xtyf2lp4fuefy@jpeg)
![1. The fight starts with a tutorial of sorts. You will see each variation of weather status and which AOEs correspond to them. These will be telegraphed!
2. The Forecaster will have a long dialogue about the forecast, but you can just look at the icons on its status bar. They should be in the same order that the mechanics will go off in.
The Forecaster: "Reacquiring data... Thunderclouds will give way to ferocious gales then sizzling heat!"
82.5% The Forecaster [Cast Bar]
[Status Symbols representing Hyperelectricity, Gale-force Winds, and Wildfire Conditions, as they would display below a boss's HP bar in-game]
When the cast “Weather Channel” goes off, the AOEs will go off in sequence untelegraphed.
Hyperelectricity -> Gale-force Winds -> Wildfire Conditions](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:mqpkr376ova4mdhcs3o3jo7x/bafkreigd2d2tnbru5oswg3s475vqdc3nqlphq5ws62qjgdoqiilyjeddyy@jpeg)
![3. The Forecaster may have a secondary dialogue about an error. Read this one to see which weather is being overwritten. The new weather condition will take the place of the overwritten one.
The Forecaster: "<bloop> eRrOr! Revising forecast... Expect blizzard conditions, not violent zephyrs!" (the words "blizzard" and "violent zephyrs" are underlined)
82.5% The Forecaster [Cast Bar]
[Status Symbols representing Hyperelectricity, Gale-force Winds, Wildfire Conditions, and a glitchy version of Blizzards, as they would display below a boss's HP bar in-game]
[Drawing of my viera wol with squinting eyes]
"I'm a FFXIV player. I don't know how to read."
Hyperelectricity -> ("Gale-force Winds" crossed out) Blizzards -> Wildfire Conditions](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:mqpkr376ova4mdhcs3o3jo7x/bafkreihtkh2gy74m5jasqrldbw53yfl546pyryivolkvspwwoz2zq7uo4m@jpeg)
![Quick Reference
A table with the headers on the left-hand side that signify: Icon, Status Name, Name When Overwritten, AOE Shape
Status Name: Hyperelectricity
Name When Overwritten: Shocking Storms
AOE Shape: [A circle surrounding a boss hitbox] Out is Safe
Status Name: Wildfire Conditions
Name When Overwritten: Searing Sunshine
AOE Shape: [The cell of the table is filled except a safe circle inside the boss hit box] In is Safe
Status Name: Gale-force Winds
Name When Overwritten: Violent Zephyrs
AOE Shape: [a giant rectangle starting from the front-half of the boss hitbox] Back is Safe
Status Name: Blizzards
Name When Overwritten: Wintry Woe
AOE Shape: [A Giant Plus sign shape centered on the boss hitbox] Intercardinals Safe
The Forecaster also does “Flood Conditions,” which are just telegraphed, targeted AOEs that you can run out of.

Bloodborne x FFXIV
Been thinking about Bloodborne again lately... almost forgot I made this a while back. It's a pretty old drawing, but it's not bad #FFXIV #Bloodborne #art

Ursula le Guin, on the accusation that fantasy is an escape from reality
![[“Fantasy is escapist, and that is its glory. If a soldier is imprisoned by the enemy, don’t we consider it his duty to escape? The moneylenders, the know-nothings, the authoritarians have us all in prison; if we value the freedom of the mind and soul, if we’re partisans of liberty, then it’s our plain duty to escape, and to take as many people with us as we can.”]](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:hppum4l25hcczzffastsicpq/bafkreihuubdwcftfkvvlnepoaf6pfxqulryfp7ydrydi5fe2pflwz63wgm@jpeg)
