i think the funniest part about people constantly shoving c!purpled in with bench trio because “they’re all minors so they have something in common ^_^” is that, canonically, c!purpled has more common with c!hbomb than basically any other character

[aha-chuu]

Don't wish on the weapon banner... just don't...

I feel like most of my issue with a lot of shrines is I always have to get the chest too. but also sometimes the extended Get A Treasure puzzle is way easier than the shrine puzzle itself and that's just insane to me

[space-ninja-fashion-show]

Still a bit shaky at using Mr Math Man for lanthorn hunting on account of whatever monster decided to make eximus nonsense go through the Rift, but he's really fun when I'm not trying to get him killed

He got me Trinity in three runs today (well, first run was Lavos on public, which is apparently a sort of hell, so I decided fuck this! Solo Limbo! And he made it actually fun) and I fed him one of my grand total of Two (2) Amber Archon Shards bc he's a bit slow at doing the funny circle thing

I just watched RRR and that was some of the coolest shit I've ever seen

[floralquafloral]

15 match win streak 😳

[cloudspsychiatrist]

Well, I tried completing all of the palettes in side order, but I can’t do it with the final weapon. Good enough for me, I guess.

[longwinded rambling nothing to see here]

im actually really close to being an adult though and its kind of really exciting. i feel a little bit sick and awful, and my present moment isn’t going very well, but i feel like it’s going to be possible to feel satisfied? and idk that’s an exciting idea. like one day i’m gonna be forty and bearded, and i won’t think about oliver anymore, and i’ll be in a band, and i hope i’ll be less sick or i’ll know how to deal with it, and i’ll be publishing writing one way or another, and i’ll be a connected member of my family, chosen or otherwise, and i can watch over the garden wall every day if i want to, and i will bring my very own broom to everywhere i live, and i’ll have a good electric guitar and a full sized acoustic cello, and i’ll make jewelry all the time and if i’m healthy enough or i have a friend to help with walks, i can have a dog. and there are a lot of big and unrealistic things that i want in life, but one day i’ll be able to see clearly, and sleep as much as i need to, and people will recognize me and i’ll help as much as i can, and i will make art and love so many people, and maybe i can cook.

Was just getting a piece leveled for a second set of these artifacts so I don’t have to switch when I want to use them on Lyney, and the flower I was leveling ended up being better than what I had on Wanderer. Now Wanderer has 200% crit dmg without a crit weapon and 98% crit rate since artifact set and cryo swirl. In combat, he gets up to 270% crit dmg.

Truly the only artifact domain I have good luck in lol. (I mean, I had Lyney at like around 160% crit dmg three days after the patch came out. If only the luck went further to other sets lol)

[scorpiusmalfoylovesoscarwilde]

coming out as an academic victim good lord I cannot do this anymore

Month 4, day 7, Keen has base color, slightly more defined wings, and a halo now :D

...also if you weren't paying attention to my tags yesterday, yeah, he named himself Keen.

they announced one of the main writers for FFXIV: Dawntrail is the one who wrote the Shadowbringers trial series, "Sorrow of Werlyt", and the amount of people going "ew no that's the one that redeems Gaius" drives me kind of insane

That storyline takes Gaius and says "Behold this idiot, watch and be stunned as everything he ever said to anyone turned out to be fucking obviously wrong. Watch as the fascist imperialist philosophy he ingrained into his beloved children makes them run to their deaths, even as he pleads them not to, and they tell him to fuck himself and do it anyway. Marvel as he watches them die by your hand, you, who destroyed Gaius himself at the peak of his life, and he can do nothing to stop it", and that's a redemption arc to people

The only surviving kid only makes it because her brother acts to protect her, she doesn't make it because of any act of Gaius'

The entire story is literally "In case you somehow missed it in ARR and most of Stormblood, everything Gaius believed in was horseshit and there's no such thing as a 'noble general in the evil empire'". All his meritocracy bullshit vanished the second he was gone, no-one but his own children believed it or held onto it, and the empire put someone directly opposed to that belief into his old seat when he vanished. No-one cared, no-one else "believed", the Empire was never about that, it was only propped up in his own singular legion by him being there and the second he was gone the legion dumped it and moved on and only Gaius was too naive and stupid to see it.

I mean for fuck sake, the Empire digs up the chemical gas weapon he explicitly had sealed away and destroyed all record of after he's gone and if it wasn't for a particularly dedicated and enterprising catboy and his comedy crew of hardcore engineers, it would have caused the eighth apocalypse

Even the follow-up in patch 6.4, of the family portrait, isn't some "aw he good now" thing. The family portrait you help organise for him has to have four of its six members be projected onto the scene via a machine's reconstruction of them as normal people because they're dead, they threw their lives away because the ideology Gaius taught them meant they could only think to die fighting and nothing else. That's his loving family portrait: four ghosts stood at his back as his last living child smiles through her pain.

"well the people of Werlyt didn't kill him for conquering them" they let him clean up the mess he made (which meant watching his children be killed) and as "thanks" they're letting him stay there to live out the last third of his life or so attempting to atone by fixing the damage he did.

He's 56 at the time of ARR; the Empire he gave 3-4 decades of his life to is gone, it's a smouldering ruin, all but one of the people he loved is dead, his surviving daughter is scarred by the path he led her down, and what few friends he had are also dead. He learned that his beliefs were all horseshit and pretty much everyone around him except for himself knew it, he must live knowing that those beliefs got his children killed, all that he achieved that he once considered "good" was for nothing, he learned that the cool old emperor he idolised who had no magic but built an empire by pulling up his bootstraps and who told him that magic and gods were bad was actually an ancient incredibly magical sorceror attempting to resurrect his own god.

That's not a redemption arc, he's the most owned man still alive in XIV
