"Dwagon Cabana"

Siren, Mist Ward 23, Plot 53

Finally re-did my small after having it be the same for well over a year. 

Tried to go for a more beach-ey look since it’s in the Mists

Siren, Mist Ward 10, Topmast room 28

Finished re-doing my apartment

I tried out a lot of new things and tried to work with the 100 slots we get!

Some of the floating took time, especially getting the alignment right and putting in the riviera beds to make camera collision, but i'm so happy with the results!

I want to try something different next time but for now i'm pretty satisfied with the look, feel free to drop by if you'd like!

gpose experimenting with the vanilla lighting settings and filters. The last screenshot is the same lighting settings, but with reshade on top. 

vanilla gpose is pretty nice tbh once you know how to properly light your character and mess with the brightness and built in features. I only wish that it’s dof settings were a little better.

Sometimes you make a few changes to your own WoL to freshen things up

Getting a little personal on my xiv blog don’t mind me

I’m ngl 

Yoshi-p’s comments on historically accurate reasons (which is bullshit) as to why ff16 won’t have poc have really boomed me on being any kind of excited about ff14 stuff

It’s so frustrating and sad in ways I cant explain unless you yourself are also a brown or black poc. 

I’ve seen people try to explain a way around his words saying stuff like ff16 isn’t ff14 but it doesn’t change the fact that

naoki fucking yoshida said these words himself Not the specific writers on ff16 not some random person working on ff16 who aso happened to work on ff14 naoki FUCKING yoshida

no amount of saying it’s not the same games changes that this is what the person currently working and will be working on ff14 has said and believes.

it makes me feel awful and slimy for simply existing.

I don’t care if people still play the game or not it’s not like i can dictate morality or whatever because regardless of whether or not people play ff14, the damage yoshi-p’s words have done can’t be reversed

yeah

idk i’m just feeling super down 

for the love of god, listen to your brown and black poc friends

don’t try to give them the “look on the bright side” talk, thats not what they need right now. If you’re not a person being directly affected for the love of god don’t do this.

Let the people who are the most affected  by this be disappointed and upset.

I’ve been wanting to do character stuff but keep wimping out last minute LOL 

gotta motivate myself to post some stuff, even if it kinda sucks

Halloween costume! 

I call it “We Have Dracthyr at Home”

I—okay. Listen. Do I run around a lot in this game? Yes. Do I spend an unnatural amount of time looking for RP locations that perfectly match a scene I’m looking for? Probably. But over the course of years, I’ve found some pretty cool spots. And I’m going to share them with you!

Maybe you’ll find inspiration to start something new in these areas, or maybe it’ll help scratch an itch for a scene you’ve been wanting to do. Who knows! Just take them!

Also, these are locations found outside of major cities and aetherytes. This list is for people who want to get out into the overworld and away from crowds! (I’ve also tried to find places that are free of hostile mobs, NPCs, and FATEs.

I’ll likely make more posts for other zones, but the three starter regions are accessible for characters of all levels, and a good place to start!

Locations under the cut!
