So I woke up entirely convinced that tumblr made a meme about cockatoos. In my dream there was news of a pair of cockatoos that have been together for so long that their owner decided to get them married. And it resulted in memes like these

But at some point they broke up, and people were devastated by it resulting in posts that just said BIRD DIVORCE like so

I woke up and thought it was real for 20 minutes, and now it’s your problem now too

A cat and his blade

I had a little bit of a neurospicy moment I've been encouraged to share! "How many times has this guy flipped his dagger? Hmm?"

Well, I did the maths:

Rogues' Guild was released in patch 2.4, and assuming he came with it, that occurred on October 28th, 2014; 3,742 days ago.

If we assume he has engaged in this activity non-stop since that time, disregarding maintenance, DDOS, and other biological functions, that comes out to: 89,808 Hours; OR 5,388,480 minutes; OR 323,308,800 seconds.

His rotation appears to be on a 7.5 second repeat with 6 knife flips each rotation; lending to: 43,107,840 rotations; OR 258,647,040 flips of his blade.

From @yzeltia 's Starlight prompt list: Day 12: When You Believe

Together they had delivered him unto the clutches of death, once more believing a miracle would be performed; expecting more of him than was expected of any other mortal, blessed or not. When one by one their individual sacrifices were undone, their souls and bodies reclaimed to stand once more beside him, hope burst from spark into an inferno... 'they would prevail'. Yet how could they? When emotions were fleeting, fiddly things which lacked the consistency that finely tuned aether did, how did they hope to lay low such a formidable foe? 'yet they tried'...

Everything grew bleak, and then more so when familiar teleportation magic wrapped about their forms, suddenly they were no longer facing Meteion's might, but once more 'safe' within the confines of the ship... A collective exasperated sigh, followed by panicked voices and footsteps filled the hull as hopelessness and helplessness set in - followed by fervent prayers, mayhaps naive hope that once more a miracle would be performed.

(G'raha and Estinien are in the ship... hush up... their models were NOT cooperating and I conceded to their iron-willed resolve)

From @yzeltia 's Starlight prompt list: Day 11: I'll be Home for Starlight

"I'll be home for Starlight," Haurchefant had promised, determined to take leave to stay with Brychar for the holiday... "I promise," he said again with a warm smile only Haurche was capable of, warming Brychar's soul despite the chill that had set in from Ul'dah to Ishgard. The funeral was a week before starlight, while the many in Ishgard railed against the strife; enough others decorated the streets and public buildings, bringing a false sense of cheer to the air that grated against Brychar's resolve. As he took the long walk to the church, the place where Haurche had been murdered, he cursed every semblance of joy and festivity, gritting his teeth and clenching his hands in righteous fury... a fury which saw him through the service, Edmont's public breakdown where guilt and regret broke through his stony stoicism, where Artoirel and Emmanellaine leaned against one another for support. How can I go back to that house? he repeated in his head, fear that he could never face that family again resting deep in his soul;* I failed them... I failed him...* tears burned down his face, no distraction, no facade could stop it as his quiet cries grew into sobs, to wails which garnered attention from near everyone else in attendance. Strong arms wrapped around him, holding him tight. For a blessed moment he didn't care whose they were, a fantastical part of his brain imagining them Haurchefant's, yet when he finally blinked through blurred vision, Aymeric sat beside him, cradling his head against his chest. "Shhh..." he shushed soothingly, choking back his own tears... "I've got you," he reassured him...

Nothing remained of him by the time the service had ended... He stood with Haurchefant's family, Estinien and Aymeric, and a few other select individuals who had been close to Haurchefant where they descended into the catacombs. There they laid his body out on a frigid slab of marble; gawdy Brychar winced, knowing that was not how Haurchefant would wish to be remembered. He's going to be cold... he found himself thinking in agony, darkly laughing at himself for thinking it mattered... Once the vault was sealed they made the long journey back to House Fortemps, where Edmont once more broke down as he gifted Brychar Haurchefant's shield, a broken but poignant acknowledgement of forgiveness... Conversation was sparse, the shield tucked against his chest as he solemnly waived over his shoulder as he was once more accosted by the cold, hugging it tighter despite the biting edges of metal as he wandered towards Aymeric's. No words were exchanged between him and Aymeric's steward, no words exchanged with Aymeric who let him be, walking with him to the parlor so prettily decorated. The silent pain of reality closed in on him as he crumpled to the couch, that shield, the demandable shield that had failed him... his only tether to himself and the world... "You lied," he muttered with a gasp, tears stinging his eyes... "you lied... you lied... you lied..." he repeated over and over, energy he didn't have flooding from him... "you lied..." he whispered, head resting against the edge of the shield...

From @yzeltia 's Starlight prompt list: Day 10: That's What Starlight Means to Me

Though Aymeric enjoyed, thoroughly, much of the festivities and todos of the holiday season, he also found lazy mornings like this to be just as enjoyable, if not more... simple pleasures, conversations, sweets and tea... As he sat in contentedness, it dawned on him that much of what Starlight meant for him, since a child, was time spent with people he cared for - no matter what it was they were doing.

From @yzeltia 's Starlight prompt list: Day 9: Free Day (All Together)

By some grace of the star they were able to congregate, all of them under the same roof at the same time... With much bemoaning from a few *cough, Estinien and Thancred* holiday sweaters were pulled out and they dressed into comfortable outfits...

"I really don't see the purpose of this," Estinien growled as his hair was unsuccessfully brushed from his eyes...

"Memories," Aymeric answered swiftly, "now quit your whining and smile!"

The photographer himself couldn't spare a jovial smile as they fell into a comfortable layout, the taller naturally falling to the back with arms and hands finding purchase on shoulders, hands within one another without direction... "Ya lot 'ave done this b'for, aye?"

"Yes!" Estinien grumbled, "too many times..."

"Not with all of us! Now quit your tantrum before I give you a reason for one!" Aymeric threatened.

Twelve attempts were made before they finally settled on a picture agreeable to all, most notably G'raha's eyes were finally opened in the last one and Brychar was actually looking towards the camera rather than dreamily staring at the others... "This is the one," Aymeric said fondly.

From @yzeltia 's Starlight prompt list: Day 8: Moonraker

How long I've wondered where you were, where you hide when duty ceases to call... How I long to see that smile for me and naught else, to feel your touch and your love... How long I've dared not long for such things, for when will we meet, a year; a decade; a century? How lucky I am to now see your smile, feel your touch, feel your love...

[just-a-geeky-therapist]

From @yzeltia 's Starlight prompt list: Day 7: Die Another Day

He needed to break the cycle, He closed himself away from everything that brought him warmth and a semblance of belonging... Yet those things, those people were persistent... Even in the throws of his self-sacrificing proclivities, the desire to wait for another day, to die another day... but not today...

[just-a-geeky-therapist]

From @yzeltia 's Starlight prompt list: Day 6: The World is Not Enough

They'd known how to hurt, how to heal, between them knowing what they could show one another - what they needed to conceal.

Long had he desired to talk, to touch, what he'd wanted driving him to desperate... this new world, this mortal world... was not enough, yet too much.

As a mercy his aether found its way to him in those last moments, cradled in uncanny arms, the wisps of lavender reaching out to him, beckoning him, once more to be with the one he fought for for so long...

"Welcome home, Hades... it's your turn to rest," the soft voice calls to him.
