Your friendly neighborhood bun boi with a hyperfixation on crafting (reluctantly participatory in most everything else in FFXIV).

I am so very tired.

(Next grind on the list: Ishgard Restoration, because apparently I'm THAT kind of masochist now.)

Also, I did indeed gpose all over that bitch (kind of).

Giant sparkly moon tryhard spotlight brought to you by insomnia and an unabated raging crafting obsession.

How has Exodus not progressed far enough to spawn the next upgrade yet, my fingers are falling off (from crocheting while macros do their thing)

What... what is my life

(I doubt I'll beat the FSH main allegations, but I swear this was 80+% from spamming Red Alert missions)

Hell yeah, now I can focus on CE! (Unless the not-a-static needs a DPS sub, anyway...)

Robo-bitch finally gave me her scythe.

(She's still a bitch, though, having not dropped a single set of wings despite all of my not-a-static's blood sacrifices...)

TIL you can climb up some of the mountains in Sinus Ardorum to put Etheirys behind you.

(11.4, 13.4; you can walk most of the way up the spine of the mountain.)

"But when will I see you again?" "Oh, never, never!" "Never?" "Well, maybe someday!" "When? Tomorrow?" "Oh, no!" (Seriously, though, if I didn't have to face the wrath of my not-a-static, I'd never leave the moon. >.>)

Day 26: Cultivate

I giggled... a lot while making this. (Look, if I can't make tiny veggie minions sacrifice one of their own in a weird little veggie cult ritual, what's the point of learning Brio?)

There are certain problems where Raex would have preferred to use a much more... personal approach. (There are few villains who are wholly unredeemable in this story, but this one... this one can burn forever in all seven hells for all I care.)

When asked how he managed to gain access to a top-secret government facility in hostile territory to 'borrow' their equipment, Raex shrugged and muttered something about "hidden talents."

"IT'S ALL CONNECTED, CAN'T YOU SEE?!?"‌ (A bit of personal lore, I occasionally make memes for my not-really-a-static's EX nights... so most of what I've made for Vierapril is about 180 degrees away from what I usually ab/use Gpose and GIMP for.)

#Vierapril Day 28: Favorite Job

(Alt text for description/rambling!)

#vierapril2025 . #viera . #ffxiv . #ff14 . #gpose
At heart, Raex is still a little goth bun with homicidal tendencies. (I would've gone with alchemist, but at this point I might as well change things up a little... plus reaper is the melee job I fell in love with when it came out in EW, and that love has only grown in DT.)

"Look, don't get me wrong, I'm still going to come help... but could you little buggers maybe do this when it's light out and not raining?!" (The answer was 'no' because they had to ride at dawn to defend their honor in the First Hopefully-Annual Novrandt Demolition Derby.)

(Alt text for description/rambling!)

Years ago, at his lowest and loneliest moment, Raex contemplated breaking the wheel to spare his future self. (If you've done the sidequest "Nhaama's Sweet Embrace," you'll know what the Dotharl do in this place.)

The suffering has only just begun. (His rover in the background is celebrating getting its batteries juiced up for the umpteenth time...)

Cosmic Exploration is both fun and grindy, and I finally have a fancy relic pickaxe to show for it.

Cultivate: Occasionally, Raex sends the mammets away so he can indulge his green thumb. (What are those mandragora up to in the background? That'll be another little secret for Day 29!)

(Alt text for description/rambling!)

Sky: The glow of the ambient aether makes it hard to fall asleep, but if it isn't quite pretty to look at. (Gloom is far more colorful than you'd expect a weather condition of that name to be.)

"BANZAAAIIIIIIIIIIIII!" (I will be... so incredibly disappointed if the capstone mount for DT isn't biblically-accurate angel wings. Gimme eight of them bitches, right here on my bun boi's back.)
