Meanwhile in Final Fantasy XIV I'm wearing this nonsense.

After my husband pointed out my taste in clothing, I decided to fully embrace the "where's my wife" fit.
A screenshot from the game Pokémon Legends: Z-A, showing the female protagonist in her hotel room. She has brown hair and olive eyes, and is wearing an olive jacket paired with a white undershirt, brown cargo pants, black gloves, and olive high-top sneakers. Her outfit and the moody atmosphere invoke the "where's my wife fit" meme, referring to the tendency of horror game protagonists to wear neutral green, brown, and grey outfits while looking for their missing wives.

The other day I got to see one of my bucket list rocks, ultramafic mantle serpentine from the Lizard Complex in Kynance Cove. This stuff was once scraping the bottom of Earth's crust and got shoved to the surface by plate tectonics.

I nerded out.
Kynance Cove seen from the cliffs above, with a clear blue sky and milky blue-green water. The cafe is nestled on the cliff side. A large, rough rock on the beach surrounded by sand. The rock is dark in color with deep red and green bands, and is highly fractured. A close up of a rock with a hand for scale. The dark colored rock has splotches of smooth apple-green mineral running through it, as well as streaks of dark red minerals. A close up of a rock on a sharp gravel pile, with a hand for scale. The dark colored rock has splotches of a green mineral and is riddled with cracks.

Out touching grass in Cornwall.

Unfortunately some of the grass was stinging nettles.

I picked the wrong book to read on the plane.
An exert from the book "The Lie of The Land" by Ian Vince. It reads: "All of which brings us to this book, which is not meant for the amusement or edification of geologists or landscape archaeologists. If you are a member of either of these esteemed professions, you should put this book down and read something else, because there is nothing here for you. In fact, the contents of this book will, in all likelihood, ever so slightly irritate you."

I'm trying to change the emoji in my Discord name for my trip to the UK.

This is the stupidest problem to ever have.

#BetterBuffalo I had to fill out an affidavit because they didn't have my information on file despite me bringing my voters registration card and my ID with my address, confirming my registration and polling place online, and having voted there since 2004, but I voted damn it.

I'm camping at the Herkimer Diamond Mines and I forgot to bring spoons.

Today we went on our first Manul pilgrimage to the Utica Zoo and met the majestic Pallas's Cat, Tate. I even got his merch.

I unintentionally took an uncomfortable screenshot
A screenshot of the Shiva Trial from the game Final Fantasy XIV. A female hyur astrologian has just been frozen by Shiva's Diamond Dust while doing the /visage emote, holding a phone-like device up for a selfie. Shiva has placed her foot on the hyur's head. The text box reads: "Shiva: And scatter them like dust in the wind...". Flying damage text reading "69" is falling down the screen.

The final count.

(All of these came as Occult Crescent drops except one, the last Azurite. It took me 2 days farming OC then giving up plus 1 day farming fates to get the final one)
A screenshot from the inventory menu of Final Fantasy XIV, showing a spread of Demiatma items. The count is: 3 Azurite Demiatma, 4 Verdigris Demiatma, 3 Malachite Demiatma, 6 Realgar Demiatma, 6 Caput Mortuum Demiatma, and 9 Orpiment Demiatma.

And finally the 2024 Discord banner! This is one of my favorites because I love how the flag came out. I had draw Pictomancer so many times that month... why must the outfit be so detailed...

I hope ya'll enjoyed the art! (I hope I have ideas for next year and get them done at a reasonable hour...)
Fan artwork from the game Final Fantasy XIV, depicting a moogle wearing a pictomancer outfit. They're standing in front of a brick wall that's just had the Progress Pride flag painted on it. The ground and their outfit is splattered with rainbow colored paint.

In the home stretch, here's the 2024 Discord Icon. Dawntrail was just on the horizon and since I was drawing a Viper Moogle for the main icon, I wanted to draw a Pictomancer Moogle for the Pride icon. The hardest part was actually the paint swirl...
Fan Artwork from the game Final Fantasy XIV, depicting a moogle dressed as a Pictomancer. Their outfit is covered in rainbow splotches of paint, and they're surrounded by a magically painted circle in the six colors of the Gay Pride Flag.

So, uh... after drawing the 2023 Discord Icon at the last minute I got REALLY tired and jokingly drew this placeholder banner, intending to replace it with something more substantial the next day. Everyone demanded that it be kept up the entire month. Yaaaay less work
Fan art of the game Final Fantasy XIV drawn very badly in MS paint. It depicts a Loporrit in sunglasses and a Pride Flag bandana flashing double peace signs, standing in front of a waving rainbow flag that reads "GAAAAY".

The 2023 Discord icon. I'd recently gotten back from visiting a Trans friend who'd just had their bottom surgery, which inspired this theme. I also created this Pride frame that's now a permanent fixture for our Discord icon, even outside of June, to show that our server is a safe space.
Fan artwork from the game Final Fantasy XIV, depicting a moogle in a field of Elpis flowers. They're holding a single flower that's glowing in the pastel colors of the Transgender Pride flag. The image is surrounded by a circular frame with the stripes of the Gay Pride flag crossed with the stripes of the Transgender Pride flag.

The 2022 Discord banner, featuring Livingway and a parade of carrots. I drew the individual art and my husband put together the banner. As we know, Loporrit have no biological sex and find gender to be a charming quirk, so I'm sure they'd excitedly show support for every kind of person on Etheirys.
Fan artwork from the game Final Fantasy XIV, drawn in the style of a propaganda poster with a distressed paper texture. It depicts the Loporrit Livingway raising her fist while wearing a Progress Pride flag bandana. On the left of the image are several marching Loporrits carrying Pride Flag colored carrots. From left to right, first row: Genderfluid Pride, Polysexual Pride, Bear Pride, Transgender Pride. Second row: Pansexual Pride, Intersex Pride, Aromantic Pride, Bisexual Pride. Third row: Nonbinary Pride, Lesbian Pride, Asexual Pride, Gay Pride. The text reads "Your time is come".

Here's the 2022 Discord icon. We're in Endwalker, so it has to be in spaaaaaaace.
Fan artwork from the game Final Fantasy XIV, featuring a moogle in a space suit standing on the moon with Etheirys in the background. The artwork is a parody of the famous Apollo 11 Flag Planting photo, with the moogle planting the Progress Pride flag. There are a few Loporrits watching in the distance.

Also from 2021, this is a special r/ffxiv subreddit icon made to celebrate the subreddit reaching 500,000 subscribers. Since it happened during June, I was sure to put him in a Pride Rainbow colored waistcoat.
