he's not very used to affection

[riftdancing]

Vaniro possessed a side-eye which transcended mere annoyance; it was a masterpiece she'd honed to exquisite perfection over the course of her lifetime. The true power of this look, resided in the captivating and somewhat unsettling contrast of her eyes. One, a warm and inviting amber, the other a piercing, sky blue, created a heterochromatic spectacle that was both beautiful and deeply unnerving. To be caught within the orbit of Vaniro's sidelong gaze was often to experience a sudden and involuntary paralysis. The weight of her scrutiny, delivered without a word, was enough to halt both physical action and mental process. Like a silent judgement, a potent expression of her displeasure or suspicion, which spoke volumes more than any verbal reprimand could. The specific nuance of her disapproval may remain unspoken, yet the feeling of being thoroughly assessed and perhaps found wanting, was unmistakable. Vaniro's side eye was a formidable tool in her interactions, a non-verbal language understood and often heeded with immediate effect.

The Flowerbed - Famfrit (Primal), The Goblet, P39 W6

A combination café and garden-themed dance floor. Designed to serve individual guests, couples, and small parties upstairs. Settle down with a hot tea, relax in good company, or pick out an old book to read. The basement is open for a range of activities, including a stage for performance. Find some music and dance amongst the flowers. OOC: My first house build from 2021. I originally wished to run a venue with it, so it remains set up for roleplay. It was, at the time, inspired by the roleplay scene I had witnessed on Primal. Open for any kind of use.

Xak Tural cowboy meets a maiden from Othard and falls in love hard.

For context, Crowind1 finally got to Shaaloani and I thought to dress my WoL as a cowboy and hers was wearing clothes from Othard and we just went along with it. So we had our Primal horses from ARR trials and roleplayed like

"Well hello miss! I've never seen you around here before. Where're you from?" He asked while he rode alongside her.

"I'm from the East, Milord." She spoke gently with a smile that blinded him, his heart racing.

"GOds- "Milord" she says. Are you in need of a guide? A beautiful young lady such as yourself shouldn't be alone in Shaaloani. I-I'd be happy to assist if you'd like?"

✉ FFXIV RP Letters / Postcards ✉

The concept is simple: Send IC letters/postcards to other characters (via Asks).

You don't have to handwrite them either. Why not pick a font that best represents your character's handwriting, and type it instead? Then just hand it to the Post Moogles (upload it to the recipient's Asks).

As with real life letters, there's no requirements on length, or frequency. You can write as much (or little) as you want, when you want.

If anyone sees this and wants to write any of my characters, please hit me up. I also highly encourage reaching out to others to see if they'd be interested in such a thing.

It could also be a fun to extend RP to characters that you've seen around, but never had a chance to interact with. Timezones and DC locations have no power here!!

Something you'll want to establish before you start writing though, is how your characters know each other. Could be they simply posted/read a notice on a board about penpals wanted. Or maybe they met previously? Maybe they grew-up together?

Why not choose parchment that suits your character? Maybe they like pretty patterned paper, and always have a ready supply of stationery to choose from.

Or maybe they travel a lot, and just use a page or two from an everyday notepad they keep with them.

Or could they be the type that frequently forgets to write, and maybe only has a napkin or back of a flyer to hand when they finally do remember?

You could write about anything you'd like. Whatever your OC gets up to, or thinks about, and is happy to share.

Whatever you do: Have fun!!

"One good strike…" he murmured to himself as he neared, swords glinting in the sunlight, muscles in his arms coiled to spring and strike once he was close. The beast moved forward towards him and he prepared to dive for the worm's throat until his foot suddenly sank deep into the sand, eyes widening as he felt his center of balance shifting. Trapped in sand to his knee he let out a gasp as he crashed hard onto his chest, swords skittering to the side. Glancing up, he found himself face to mandible with his quarry, the two seemingly having switched places of hunter and prey.

SEA'S COMMUNITY COMPENDIUM UPDATE

We have a massive one today! Huge thanks to a close friend of mine who sent me every single bookmark of xiv resources she had. 💖

Additionally, a good handful of these resources were sourced from a list originally created by @rinhkitty, which you can find here. I have tried to include the more recent/active of the lot, so it's not a one-for-one. Thank them for a lot of the large scale resources you'll find below! ✨

As of 04/12, I have added the following resources (in no particular order) to Sea's Community Compendium for FFXIV Creatives:

LARGE SCALE

GARLAND TOOLS — Contains XIV resources such as Garland Data, everything database, crafting lists and equipment calculators; Garland Bell, gathering timers, collectable resources and hunt windows; and FFXIV Fisher, daily fishing windows, bait paths and catch checklist. Maintained by Clorifex Ezalor of Zalera.

TEAMCRAFT — Create crafting lists and collaborate with others, set gathering alarms, simulate crafting rotations, and more!

CAT BECAME HUNGRY - FFXIV ANGLER — Contains everything and anything to know about fishing including specific fish guides, location, baits, aquarium fish and more!

FFXIV - CRAFTING AS A SERVICE — Crafting information and planning for FFXIV!

FFXIV GARDENING — The FFXIV Gardening Database is a collection of everything related to gardening in Final Fantasy XIV: A Realm Reborn. It was created to organize and visualize the results obtained from crossbreeding.

SIGHTSEEING LOG HELPER — This tool will help those trying to complete their pesky Sightseeing Log by letting them know upcoming weather patterns for each zone!

EUREKA TRACKER — For everything and anything to do with Eureka mobs, tracking and weather patterns.

FFLOGOS — for tracking of items/actions related to Eureka.

FFXIVSQUADRON — A comprehensive tool that helps you assess the success rate of various squadron missions.

FFXIV CHOCOBO COLOUR CALCULATOR — Will calculate what chocobo feed you will need to get from your current colour to your desired colour. *rng not included.

FFXIV HOUSING — A site specialising in the documentation of all housing items available in game.

HOUSING SNAP — A compilation of player-made housing designs. Can be used for inspiration or places to visit!

MISC

NPC CHAT BUBBLES — Would you like more NPC chat bubbles for edits? Say no more! Created by @alexoisxiv.

OLD TUMBLR LAYOUT BY PIXIEL — While not XIV specific I know a lot of people aren't fans of the new Tumblr layout, so this is a fix that will revert it to an as close as possible approximation of the new one. I won't tag the creator as I don't think they're in the xiv community, but it's run by @/pixiel!

HOW TO CURSE LIKE AN ISHGARDIAN — Do you want to make the church blush? Do you want to incur the wrath of Halone? @stars-and-clouds has compiled a list of appropriate curses/swear words for you!

FINAL FANTASY XIV SIDEQUEST GUIDE - HEAVENSWARD EDITION — maintained by @chatty-moogle, this guide explores interesting sidequests in Heavensward that will give you more information about the lore, titbits about locals and other interesting information!

TRUST BANNERS FOR XIV — If you have ever wondered how people mimic the Trust banners used in XIV, look no further! @locke-rinannis has a template for you.

MAKING USE OF RECOMMENDATIONS — created by @autumnslance, this guide will help you make your recommendations tab useful rather than annoying.

BOTANICA EORZEA — A guide to the flora of Eitherys and her reflections, including fungi and seedkin. For reference in writing and roleplaying. Maintained by @tinolqa.

GPOSE TIPS — A tutorial on how to achieve clarity and detail in your XIV screenshots! Created by @aryalaenkha.

UI MACRO MENUS — A guide on how to use macros to create small UI menus for XIV. Written by @diskwrite-ffxiv.

TYPHON GATE RESEARCH — Created by @mcstronghuge, these are the statistically best places for your character to stand for the Typhon Gate!

CHANGELOG

HYDAELYN HEALTH HAVEN has been removed at the request of the owner.

Moved THE BALANCE higher on the list to reflect alphabetical sorting, excluding names that start with The.

Misc formatting as needed.

Added some additional clarification around large-scale discords/spaces; in particular: Large-scale community discords such as the XIV Reddit Discord, Hunts, GPOSE promotions and broad-space roleplay servers that harbour a large number of people and are publicly available to all. These may not have an RP focus but will assist in other aspects of the game. Also includes well-known tools/resources that are utilised by large groups of people and assist in gameplay elements.

Added a quick-jump menu to the bottom of each of the table of contents menus to assist in navigation.

Want to submit? You can either fill out the google form here, send me an ask with the relevant information contained on the Compendium, or join my Discord at SEAFLOOR (21+ only)!

I am sure there's probably a couple of things I have missed or links/formatting that might be broken. Please don't hesitate to let me know if anything is out of place. I'm going to take a break now. I'm pretty sure that's the biggest edit that's ever going to occur on this document!

"I could never find peace within myself, so I found it elsewhere, all around me. In the steady earth beneath my trembling feet, the soothing breeze upon my burning neck, the ever-crashing waterfall feeding a glistening, peaceful stream, and the inviting warmth of a campfire at night. All things nature felt a part of me more than any companionship ever could, they felt even more of myself than...me. I can't explain."

//My beautiful new RP reference by the lovely and talented @/erintatertots on Twitter! I'm forever grateful for the wonderful design she did for Ely. She managed to capture her in a way that no artist yet has: in her solitary, yet caring and loving demeanor.
