when all of sheila's experiences (esp. her trauma) shaped her personality and made her into the character she is, how do I still make her feel like Sheila when I put her in an AU where none of those experiences ever happened?

i couldn't figure it out, so now she has quantum immortality

I also think modding is fun (sometimes) from a technical standpoint... I like learning how the game works even if it's just superficial knowledge compared to plugin development. I may only have a baby's understanding of blender, but it's still a new skill I learned BECAUSE of modding ffxiv, yanno?

👀 23...

and also it's kind of funny to be like "you must answer my riddles three to find my mods on my bsky profile"

Whether it's beefs between modders or, like, that weird drama a couple months back where certain individuals got caught ruthlessly shitting on popular vanilla mashup creators (especially ~girly~ mashup creators lmao that shit-ass comment is burned into my memory) for asinine reasons.

Creator hashtags are something I associate with modders who have waaaaaay bigger followings than I do, and I feel like I'm trying to keep under the radar for as long as I can because being popular in the modding community is... not a good thing, based on what I've seen over the years
