"mod what you want, but you need to get right with the idea that other people in-game are only ever going to see your vanilla model" is honestly a much more measured response than i expected, and it's honestly probably healthier for the community to discourage the development of a Mare successor

Crunchyroll started as a piracy website that would steal the work of fansub groups and lock it behind paywalls, which caused Fansub groups to literally encode messages during the "Brought to you in part by these sponsors" segments, warning viewers that if you paid for the subs, you got scammed

Genuinely Yoshi P continues to handle modders with kid gloves because as a gamer he Gets It and doesn't want to really fuck with it but as The Guy In Charge he is trying to tell you to shut the fuck up so he doesn't have to do something drastic about it.

anyway apparently you can't have TWO movies with female leads and the Power of Friendship saving the world if BOTH of them also are musicals, that's illegal or something

i see the bluesky variant of the Reply Guy is just as annoying and insufferable as the non-MAGA kind lol

HOKAY here's my chill lil alternative to FFXIVWrite (congrats to Moen on baby!). I’m throwing it out to the writing community as a super informal thing, not meant to “compete” but just give options! I’ll be using #XIVFictember for my fics if anyone else wants to join in. #ffxivwriters #ffxivfanfic

if you want to take your feedback to SE start advocating/asking for more inclusive customization, like body types, pronoun options, muscle tone, age sliders, etc!! a really basic one for example is separating au ra horns from face type. don't focus on the loss of mare, ask them to fill the void.

"don't yap about mods in public" and "we don't know if this was even squenix, let alone if it was caused by yapping about mods in public" are both true statements.

i don't think it's particularly wrong to say "we shouldn't talk about mods in public", especially right now.

I made a little something for xivwrite: a spreadsheet of the previous year's prompts, for all those who might want to revisit the past for this september! docs.google.com/spreadsheets...

feel free to make copies for your own editing purposes and whatnot

this celebration includes you no matter how many fics you've written, no matter how long it's been since you've last written, and even if you've never shown your writing to another person 🥂
happy fanfiction writers appreciation day!

TL;DR-
ffxivwrite is not happening this year because the event organizer just had a baby. life stuff has precedence over fandom stuff so grats to moen + i'm gonna do prompt fills i missed last year if i do it

mare dev got a C&D from squenix bc half these dipshits forgot the first rule of fight club
August 21, 2025 at 7:28 PM
it has come to my attention that DT is, in fact, on sale. so mayhap lmao
anyway tl;dr i have mixed feelings about DT and the direction the writing's gone. i'll play DT eventually, but like prob when it goes on sale or something.

[xiv critical]

i still haven't played DT in part bc of my hiatus, but tbh i haven't felt the urge. EW patch story was fun but hearing one of the werlyt writers was involved with DT's MSQ has been the nail in the coffin for my interest lol. sorry but werlyt is easily the worst side story in the game

Now that we are slowly moving to 8.0, where do you want the next expansion to take place next? There’s still a lot to explore for us!
