On Nemisae Durdael

Hi all.

You’ve likely noticed the past few days the name Nemisae Durdael coming up a lot on my blog.

Over the past several years I have watched her stalk, creep on, harass, sexually harass, guilt trip, and manipulate many folks across FFXIV. I know people that cannot go to RP events without having a back-up plan available in case she shows up. I know people that have had to lock down FC houses so she didn’t show up and stalk them in their own homes, so to speak. I know people that she’s made so uncomfortable that they stopped going to events, or stopped logging in entirely because as soon as they were online she’d be bugging them for something or another.

I am certain I would have become a target if I wasn’t friends with one of her former targets, @mythroscat​, whom she had the audacity to lie about to me.

The way I put it makes it sound mild. It’s not.

Please read the following posts. If you have been targeted by Nemisae, I encourage you to add your voice and your story. If you’re friends with her, I encourage you to listen to what people say and don’t let her continue to get away with acting like this and treating people this way.

It’s about time she stopped.

Rest in peace, Your Majesty.

“Ahem.”

Another question by Moogle Mail: "Dear Emperor Varis, What does one have to do to make it on the list of cats allowed in the palace? Slay an Eikon and leave it on the doorstep, or just an Ascian? I figure worse comes to worse, I can try sleeping with your grandfather but I wanted to be polite. Signed, Hero Hikara. P.S. If this letter doesn't come with a box of Fudge Brownies and a bottle of Ishgardian Firewhisky the Moogles stole them." //HeroHikara-wol

dear fudge cat

firewhissy?? no wonder it’s a little-- strong

(( It looks like maybe Varis wandered off or... something, as the loop on the ‘g’ just keeps going off the page. Zenos’ writing takes over. ))

Hero:

A dead Ascian on the doorstep will do.

Regards,

Zenos

Your Radiance, this the Royal Physician. I’m terribly sorry, but it turns out that you have liver disease. You need to stop drinking. P.S. Please don’t kill me.

Were you my Royal Physician you would not hide. I fear my doctor, not the other way around.

P.S. She would already have taken care of the issue and I would have awakened at my desk with a new scar and a note stuck to my forehead reading “You’re welcome, asshole”.

This tweet gave me life

[emperor-galvus]

*bows respectfully* Your Radiance, if I may...I have long been curious about your opinions on your fellow Final Fantasy emperors.

"I know little of them.”

(( I’ve never actually played II, XII, or XV. Varis would likely view Gestahl from VI similarly to how he views Solus, and that is uh... he doesn’t have a high opinion of his grandsire now that he knows things (though I get the impression he didn’t really have a high opinion of Solus even before that). Gestahl’s lack of shits given for people and his singular desire to just... have an Empire would likely irritate Varis, who actually seems to give a shit about his people. ))

Your eminence, forgive me. I will have to postpone our meeting as the Warrior of Light and lackeys seem to have grown fond of me, though I take no pleasure in denying this meeting, I will use the time I have to dig deeper into the Elkion slayer's past. ~Nina Wyndia.

“It is simply not possible for me to even begin to describe how barren the field in which I grow my fucks has become. Stranger: I am surrounded by enemies within my own palace and you seek to waste my time with what is likely the undoubtably tragic background of one of the Warriors of Light?

“Please. Do not bother.”

When's the last time someone called you by your first name?

... This morning when I awoke to a... surprise visit.

[emperor-galvus]

Your Radiance, please grace me with your infinite wisdom, for I have a most pressing matter at hand. A matter of spending one's days in abject despair with no feasible way up or out. What is one to do in a situation where they are powerless, yet told they are at fault for being there in the first place?

Should the one telling them such nonsense be someone that can be... verbally corrected in a manner that would not pass in the Senate, tey may be informed that until they manage to dislodge their cranium from their rectum so that they may see things from a viewpoint not their own, they ought keep their mouth shut lest one shuts it for them.

Failing that, shoot them. ‘tis their own damned fault.

Incorrect FFXIV Quotes [43/??]

[emperor-galvus]

I don’t know how I ended up shipping Percy with Varis, but I dug this hole so now I’m going to sit in it and think shippy things.

[emperor-galvus]

Emperor, this question is like beneath you. It has come to my attention that the individual to whom I have been betrothed is unfaithful. To what degree should I repair the match, seek another, else plot the slow downfall of their house?

“Execute him.”

[emperor-galvus]

Hey wine dad, what do you think of Zenos' cat? (Question is offered with a bottle of very fine wine, possibly to reduce the chance of getting shot for disrespecting the emperor)

“He named it ‘Bloody Murder’ purely so he could bellow those words as he roved about the palace,” Varis flatly said. “Murder is a ragged beast that has seen better days. And yet...”

He glanced down to the rough-looking cat in his lap, whose cereuleum-engine purr paused only briefly when Varis paused petting him.

“... I am thankful for his presence and the comfort he brings to my son.”

(( ROFL after I wrote this I thought, oh, what if they’re referring to the legion of Miqo’te that Zenos attracts. Well. You don’t WANT to know his thoughts on that. >_>

@beasthuntergalvus for mention! ))

[emperor-galvus]

(( This is my phone background now I just. Yes. ))

The  recipe of a good evening: a good book, good wine and all the cats.

castorre replied to your post “Getting to Know: The Goddamn Emperor of Garlemald”

"Technically, Your Radiance, a mimosa is a morning beverage. Were you to have a particularly bad morning..."

“... Is that so...”

[emperor-galvus]

Getting to Know: The Goddamn Emperor of Garlemald

► Name ➔ “Varis zos Galvus.” ► Are you single ➔  “No.” ► Are you happy ➔  “Are you serious.” ► Are you angry? ➔  “I may soon be.” ► Are your parents still married ➔  “In death, does it truly matter?”

NINE FACTS

► Birth Place ➔ “An estate on the outskirts of Garlemald proper.” ► Hair Color ➔  “... Really.” ► Eye Color ➔ “Gold.” ► Birthday ➔  “...” ► Mood ➔ Varis frowns. ► Gender ➔  “Male.” ► Summer or winter ➔ “Winter. All is quiet, interlopers are hesitant to brave the storms.” ► Morning or afternoon ➔ “I am not permitted wine before the afternoon...”

EIGHT THINGS ABOUT YOUR LOVE LIFE

► Are you in love ➔ “...” ► Do you believe in love at first sight ➔ “No.” ► Who ended your last relationship ➔ “An eikon ended it.” ► Have you ever broken someone’s heart ➔ “Several times, I imagine.” ► Are you afraid of commitments ➔ “I am a married man in a position of power. Only cowards fear commitment and I am no coward.” ► Have you hugged someone within the last week? ➔ Varis snorts. ► Have you ever had a secret admirer ➔ “I would not be surprised.” ► Have you ever broken your own heart? ➔ He appears thoughtful for several moments and glances away. Apparently he’s not answering that.

SIX CHOICES

► Love or lust ➔ “Lust and I have been more frequent bedfellows of late. Love takes time I do not have.” ► Lemonade or iced tea ➔ “Cold tea is an abomination.” ► Cats or Dogs ➔  The fact that he has one rather rough-looking cat in his lap at this very moment ought to make it obvious, and the trio of Abyssinians milling about at his feet should do the trick if the first one doesn’t. ► A few best friends or many regular friends ➔ “A few close confidantes, though I would be a fool were I to assume that even those closest to me would refrain from plunging a knife into my back were they to have the opportunity.” ► Wild night out or romantic night in ➔ “A night in. My duties make quiet evenings a luxury that I take advantage of whenever I am able.” ► Day or night ➔ “Night.” He raises his glass in a toast.

FIVE HAVE YOU EVERS

► Been caught sneaking out ➔ “Mm. As a boy I was oft caught sneaking out of the house with my dearest friend. That was short-lived, military life did not give opportunity for wandering about.” ► Fallen down/up the stairs ➔  “Pushed, more like.” ► Wanted something/someone so badly it hurt? ➔ “In my younger days, as a hot-blooded young man. I did get what I wanted in the end.” ► Wanted to disappear ➔ “Yes.”

FOUR PREFERENCES

► Smile or eyes ➔ “... A genuine smile is indeed a rare thing.” ► Shorter or Taller ➔  “Shorter, considering my particular preferences.” ► Intelligence or Attraction ➔  “I do not find fools attractive.” ► Hook-up or Relationship ➔  He doesn’t seem interested in answering that.

FAMILY

► Do you and your family get along ➔ “We do not.” ► Would you say you have a “messed up life” ➔ Varis barks laughter, but says nothing otherwise. This is his third glass of wine. ► Have you ever ran away from home ➔ “No. I have wanted to, however.” ► Have you ever gotten kicked out ➔ “No.”

FRIENDS

► Do you secretly hate one of your friends ➔ “I understand the importance of keeping one’s friends close and enemies closer. In my line of work, one must know that this is an inevitability.” ► Do you consider all of your friends good friends ➔ “No. That sort of thought is how I would find a knife in my back.” ► Who is your best friend ➔ “...” ► Who knows everything about you ➔ “My wife. I dare you to ask her, the response ought to be amusing.”
