Hydaelyn told me lightwardens keep eating her oracles so I asked how many oracles she has and she said she just goes to the lifestream and gets a new little girl to empower afterwards so I said it sounds like she’s just feeding oracles to lightwardens and then her warrior of light started crying

seeing the discourse of the day being gridania actually trying to improve while limsa is way worse than most people assume is pleasantly surprising
ul'dah gets (not enough) flak from the story but we also should dunk on limsa; merlwyb throws the WoL at titan out of convenience, it's not subtle

*beating the drums* AND IS ALSO WHY LETTING BLENDS OF MAIN PARTY MEMBERS, EXPAC CHARS, AND NEW CHARS STAR IN SIDEQUESTS IS SO IMPORTANT AND INTERESTING AND SHOULD HAPPEN 100X AS OFTEN AS IT DOES!!!!!! LET THE THREADS OF THE WORLD MINGLE OUTSIDE OF THEIR RIGID BOXES FOR FUCKS SAKE

i agree with everything said here and I want to add to it: I think an unsung facet *of* shb's ability to make us care is letting us into the daily lives of the characters. all the bonds they've built up with others who aren't just the main party, what they've spent their extra time doing

yes ryne is a very popular character but i think people really sleep on her being the narrative glue of ShB

Everyone else involved in the plot had made their choice already, the Exarch went there to help no matter what, the Scions were going to fight even without his lies, but what about Ryne?
XIV community, talk to me.

I have something simple and easy. I wanna know your unfiltered thoughts about your favorite character(s). Let your favoritism unleash.

Replicating this art style is maddeningly difficult!
"Madoka Magica" was among the few sources of inspiration I could find that followed this eerie style, as well as French Illustrator "Guy-Pascal Vallez".

Below are my attempts:

The lack of lore is turning me into more and more of a modder, so I started working on a mashup for my main that I've been procrastinating on for years. Making good bangs is hard...

Very bummed about the removal of trash in Criterion dungeons, it was by far the most unique aspect of it, now it's three trials/raids with a corridor between them... I hope the bosses themselves have the mechanics to keep their pressure, but that's a serious blow to the content's place in the game.

I was in need of sappiness so watch, as after a long time spent getting back here, I reenact one of @rynegaia.gay's fics

you know it's a fic because in reality they would take years to propose. SE can prove me wrong by at least making them an official couple by 8.1 (please)

i don't know who they are but i love you all oddball pickers

i hope this becomes a somewhat recurring thing because i know some are more popular than others but surely not THAT much. the silly poll has to have population bias shale is NOT that low and i should've talked about how i want her to sm-

Another quick edit, this time for the new DD accessories!
The mod is just options to turn off parts of them, since I liked them but found them too visually busy next to old gear
option names might not make much sense but shhh i know what i'm doing
