Art I got from PastelDeity/PastelDaemon of Hikaru Aosora from the I/O books, who was not a morning person even before getting stuck in the gameworld. He started life being a short, childlike Pixie as commentary on the Lalafell in FF14 (and the ways people play as them and play around the childlike appearance of potats) - but honestly, everyone looking at a grown-ass man and seeing a delicate child became a useful simile for being transmasculine as the character developed. I’m putting up the first book for free, chapter by chapter, on Archive of Our Own but if you’re impatient you can read the whole thing here and if you like it you can buy an ebook here.

And this is why it's much better just to refer to your home as 'Earth.'

"In practice, most of us do. There's a potential ambiguity problem - Mundus more or less means Earth - but for the playerbase talking about our homes, the ambiguity is actually helpful."

Ask anything huh... alright what's everyone's favourite gear set?

"I'm actually really fond of this set, lucky enough for me. What's it called, the Shah of Xia set?"

"Honestly I haven't been playing this game long enough to, uh, know? I picked up the titty armor set because it looked stupid and to show off for the stream. I'd honestly like to lean further into the Viking aesthetic later with something like this set.

"Once I've got the cash, I definitely want to lean into the armored princess look. I've had my eye on the Silk and Steel Set."

The only problem with the Dragon Under The Stones set is that it requires a sufficiently tall and impressive staff and hat to complete it."

"Shit, let's get stupid. What's the point of being in a fantasy world if you can't wear five inches of enchanted silk and get away with it?"

*leaps into view Obi Wan Kenobi Style* Hello There.

"Ah. General Blackheart. Then the playerbase is stranded elsewhere, too. What news from Caelibyrne?" Art of Hikaru by Pasteldeity

oh no i forgot how the quest goes, it's the mortar and pestle right? I keep thinking it's the chalice.

"If you're trying to do the Lost Temple of Ubasdjet, yes, you want the mortar and pestle. You'll need it to grind beetle shells and resin for the incense altar."

How can Hikaru drink anything and have a satisfying experience through a moustache that bushy?!

Hikaru: "One must make sacrifice for Art." Ace: "A straw."
