I Lalafell and I Can't Get Up ✨ @bexplaysffxiv.bsky.social · Oct 18

Hello and welcome to my FFXIV account! 💫

Meet Roscoe!
🔸 Semi-retired adventurer/Warrior of Darkness
🔸 Adoptive father of Yuyuka, Warrior of Light
🔸 Dark-Knight-turned-Machinist
🔸 Your lalamigo from Ala Mhigo

Here you'll find MSQ/lore rambling, gpose and glams!

I think I mentioned this as a possibility before and then immediately forgot. Whoops

Me not long after drawing up a new reference for Roscoe that took me 12 hours to finish: what if I gave him a mullet though

It's very obvious from talking to me for approximately 5 mins that Shadowbringers is my beloved favourite expac, but honestly, I subbed very early on in in the game - especially for someone who, when downloading it to join my friends, went "ehh I'll probably play for half an hour and uninstall"

I realised I didn't answer the question properly but that would be base ARR, 2.0! I will admit I did take some time to get invested in MSQ, I always paid attention to it but I didn't start to pick up all the small details til I hit late ARR (and then later when I replayed it on my alt)

The attack on the Waking Sands was the first point I had a strong emotional response to the story and started to get fully invested, and by the time I had completed the bloody banquet and entered Ishgard, I was hooked and started properly building Roscoe's lore 👀

XIV community, talk to me.

7.4 is on its way, but I wanna know, which patch made you fall in love with XIV? It can be all the way to the 1.0s or as recent as 7.0s.

It's the WORST, honestly part of the reason I haven't been gposing so much lately is because I've DC'd quite a few times while in gpose and I'm not sure why - it seemed to get worse during DT patches. I hope it's better the next time I get inspiration 😭 Thank you!! I'm so hyped to see yours!

Just normal at the moment, but we might try the EX at some point! I don't know when I'll get round to doing some more runs of normal but I can give you a yell if I do! 👀

Thank you so much!! 💜 The Azem crystal one is my all-time favourite gpose. The galaxy one was taken on a whim when I was just in the area doing a quest and I was surprised with how much I liked it!

I Lalafell and I Can't Get Up ✨ @bexplaysffxiv.bsky.social · 6d

aaa thank you so much Cardi!! 😭 That one is my all-time favourite gpose I've done, I had to set it up twice because I DC'd the first time before I took any pictures, but I'm happy I went to the effort to do it twice over. I'd love to see you do something similar with your boys!! 👀

Bonus round!

The one in Ktisis got SUPER crunched somehow but I still like it

(No I don't have a left-leaning Dutch angle problem I don't know what you're talking about)

Roscoe stands in a corridor in Ktisis Hyperboreia, with the sun shining in brightly through slats in the walls. Behind him, the figure of his Azem stands with their back to the camera.

My alt character Saran, a female Au Ra with pale blue skin, long pink-and-blue hair and blue fin-like horns, walks through a corridor with a black mage staff in one hand and a ball of fire in the other.

Roscoe, dressed in a warm jacket and scarf, walks alongside a chocobo dressed in Starlight barding.

Roscoe's Azem Euphony, a figure in a black robe with starry freckles, long white hair and white wings in place of ears, smiles towards the viewer. This one has some editing in Clip Studio.

Perfect 10/10 no notes. I love it. I hope she has a lovely time playing with her dolls :)

I Lalafell and I Can't Get Up ✨ @bexplaysffxiv.bsky.social · 7d

These are all pre-7.0 so they're a little cronchy but I'm still very fond of them 💜

Roscoe, a grey-haired lalafell in a brown coat with a dark stripe across his eyes, stands holding the Azem crystal in his hands with his eyes closed and a smile on his face. Behind him stands his Azem, Euphony, a robed figure with long white hair.

Roscoe's Azem, Euphony, a figure with black robes, long white hair, white bird wings in place of ears, and an astrologian globe. They are holding the globe in front of them and smiling towards the viewer with an intense look.

Roscoe stands with his daughter Yuyuka, a blonde-haired lalafell in a green dress, on a deck in Sharlayan looking out at the ships. She has a cup of tea in her hands, and he is holding a burger in one hand and offering her a paper bag presumably holding more food in the other.

Roscoe stands on a wooden deck somewhere in La Noscea, looking up at a dark sky with a galaxy arcing overhead. Beside him is a lighthouse.

Yeah this sounds about right

Screenshot of notes from a call reading:
Rosco get your own try harder.
I'm trying to find one.
You don't want to take Easter one. Okay.
I always was trying to find a different one, but I don't think.

I Lalafell and I Can't Get Up ✨ @bexplaysffxiv.bsky.social · 8d

My noise reduction app keeps turning on its notes function when I'm in a call and last night it attempted to capture our three Arkveld runs, with varying levels of success 😭

Screenshot of a recording of several speakers in a call reading:
Here to help.
My thanks, God.
Fight the tail.
God not again.
What genius.
There we go that much better towers ass.
Where's the summoner?
Jesus Christ.
Trying to work out when it wants us to stand in these.
Why is it spicy?

Screenshot of notes from a call reading:
What the hell was that? What the hell is this?
What the fuck?

(Monster Hunter collab spoilers)

Ran the trial three times tonight, absolutely kicked my ass the first time but I think we got it by the second and third! Maaaaybe we'll try the EX at some point if we're feeling brave

FFXIV screenshot with five characters standing on top of the fallen Arkveld, a white scaly dragon-like creature.

Five characters standing together on top of Arkveld: a blonde lalafell in a green dress; a white-haired miqo'te in a purple shirt and waistcoat; a blue-haired miqo'te in a Fall Guys shirt; a grey-haired lalafell in a long brown coat; and a purple-haired Au Ra in a sleeveless top and trousers.

They're the same size 😭 Little guys

Too furry to be a lalafell, he says while looking at Roscoe

FFXIV Monster Hunter collab dialogue screenshot saying: A distinctive style to be sure, but it's undoubtedly a mark bill. No less peculiar than the client who delivered it, either. Too small for a Hhetsarro, and yet too furry to be a Lalafell. Whatever distant laid they hail from, I doubt I've ever heard of it.

I Lalafell and I Can't Get Up ✨ @bexplaysffxiv.bsky.social · 9d

The amount of baking-related items Khali'ra's brought is actually absurd at this point, and I can't bring myself to throw any of them away even though both our FC house and my room are completely full

Khali'ra please my inventory 😭

I Lalafell and I Can't Get Up ✨ @bexplaysffxiv.bsky.social · 9d

HE DID IT AGAIN

HOW DOES HE KEEP DOING THIS

I actually didn't realise Zero's attire included the earring, after saying that it was an EXTREMELY Roscoe-core (Roscore?) earring. But also do I want to pay £7 for an outfit just for the earring 🫠 Please make accessories separate Square. I know you won't but pls

I FORGOT you also can't use a controller in GW2. Man, this game really HAS spoiled me

I Lalafell and I Can't Get Up ✨ @bexplaysffxiv.bsky.social · 13d

I really have the itch to try GW2 again but I fear XIV has spoiled me - knowing that in this game I went from an "I'll never play tank or healer" DPS to finding melee DPS the hardest role to play, the thought of not being able to change classes later on is terrifying 💀

Unoptimal? Unoptimised? I don't think any of these are words but you get my meaning 😆
