#littevi's thoughts

A few words to all my US friends and mutuals (no, I don't know who you voted for and I am not going to ask, I just hope you voted how i would have done)

Saw the news, followed them the last hours. It is .. devastating, but, stay strong. I, as a European (Germany), still need some time to process what I saw. Can't even imagine how it feels for you. But please, don't lose hope. Times will pass. It will be hard, but it will pass... at least that's my hope. And I hope it will not leave the US in political ruins.

There is not much I can do from here but if you need something on a personal level, send me a message. Maybe I can help you, maybe by just listening.

I obviously didn't start with the Junelezen postings... and I will not start even though I am an Elezen player with every part of my heart and soul.

It is just... I struggle with gposing too much and I am rarely satisfied with my screenshots. So I will not stress myself with a prompt list

But I am so happy to see all those beautiful Elezen on the page here ❤️

IRL - stuff

I'll be completely honest with you... the German Election (where I live) is really affecting my mood... and not in a good way. I feel almost sick when I see the current results and there is literally no hope our far-right plague party will drop as much as I want them to drop.

I don't know if there would have been something, that could have been done different during election campaigns or if a ban of said party would have be sucessful... I just know... it will suck the next years

hey you all... a little follow up to the post for my US friends and mutuals...

I still have an open ear for you, if you need something but...

Things here in Germany are imploding on the top political level and I am somehow afraid of the future now too. There is a huge dispute in the government, the Chancellor fired one of hin top ministers. The governing coalition will prob break, we will have early new elections and I have no idea how that will end... and I am afraid tbh.

With all the s*** going on in the world, early new elections with a way too popular far-right party in opposition - at the moment - is the worst scenario I can imagine for my country.

More experiments with FFXV, Flagrum and Ansel. I have much to learn with the tools.

Yes, I didn't know Nvidia Ansel exists until a wonderful person here told me about it. I simply don't need it for taking screenshots in my main-game (FFXIV) - and it isn't relevant for everything else I play on PlayStation. And Flagrum is a really good tool and I have - after using it a few times - nothing to criticize, but I need some time to fully understand it and get the function into "muscle memory".

And I have to get a feeling for how much exposure I have to put on the screenshots so you can see them here in a proper way. My monitors are set to a rather high brightness so screenshots that are okay dor me, tend to be way to dark for other people (or even my phone >-<)

But I'll get it eventually. Just have to simply use the tools and not doing other things/playing other games ^^

Not participating in Junelezen myself, even though I am an Elezen by heart (real-life stuff keeps happening so I don't have time and/or inspiration) but

Omg, so many gorgeous Elezen out there ❤️ I love you all, I really do. Please keep on being beautiful, gorgeous, elegant, cute, sexy, whatever you want to be.

And thanks to everyone participating and posting things for Junelezen. You are the true MVPs ❤️💛💜💙

Goodbye - not forever, but for the next weeks

My girls went into hiding for the next weeks and so do I. I know, the pre-Dawntrail-Downtime hasn't started yet, but I don't think I will login with Yorina and/or Ilmie before it does. And due to RL-stuff I can not get into Dawntrail as soon as I want , so I will be away from this place here longer than initially expected.

Hope you all will have a wonderful time in Dawntrail and: see you in a few weeks <3

[miss-littevi]

I really want to have a Honkaisona... Is that a word? An OC in the Honkai Star Rail setting - that's what I mean :-)

Is that cringe? Maybe. Do I care? No. ^^

Played it just a few hours but I adore the style and atmosphere in this game <3

[miss-littevi]

Some words about Dawntrail and me

I am still not entirely hyped for Dawntrail tbh. I am happy we get new content - a new story, new areas, new dungeons and trails - but what we saw of the new content... not sure. But we will see.

What I am hyped for are the Hrothgals. I waited for them for so long and I can't wait to create one myself <3

I won't change Yorina or Ilmie - my Elezen are precious to me and the few weeks I fantasia'd them only made that clearer to me - , but I have already created a new character that will turn into a Hrothgal as soon as possible.

what brigns me to the original purpose of this post.. just wanted to put my future Hrothgal here again.

Her name will be Eraya - I derived the name from the surnames of the male Hrothgars and quite like it. I'm not sure yet whether I'll shorten it to Era or Raya, but that's a detail I will decide later :-)

For now, it is more important to get her to a ingame-state I want her to be. Meaning: leveling Gunbreaker and get through Bozja because that is her "RP" - background (yes, I think Bozja isn't as bad as people say, at least the "open world" FATEs. Delubrum etc. is on a different note thou. It is fun itself, but not with just approx 5 people - and you rarely have more than one full party these days)

Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays ❤️

Have a little bit of IRL stuff from me because I don't have much to talk about otherwise 😅

Korkeasaari, Helsinki (Finland)

Currently on vacation here in the north of Europe and really enjoying it so far. Yes it is cold. Yes, there are only about 6 hours of sunlight per day here. It that a problem? No. 😊

Pictorina

(because Pictomancer Yorina... Picto-(yo)rina... you know... ah, forget about it ^^ )

The job is fun somehow... the animations are entertaining. But it's a mage and the last mage I played was my Ice-Arcane-Mage (? was that a thing? I think it was, but I could be wrong, it is ages ago) back in WoW WotLK. I am not a mage person anymore so Pictorina will never be a real thing. Just bringing it to lvl 100 and never touch it again.

[miss-littevi]

Ilmie got a glow up in the new benchmark too. Had to change her eyes thou because her original eyeshape had some serious dark circles that I didn't like so I chose another shape that is also round-ish and looks somehow cute in my opinion

and her face shape (Elezen Face 1) had a similar issue with the lips as Yorina had... and they made it (in my opinion better) her too <3

[miss-littevi]

new benchmark makes me so happy <3

The screenshot the trailer takes look so much better in my opinion (other hairstyle but that shouldn't be an issue when it comes to comperability )

Old Benchmark with Meteor's hair, new benchmark with Yori's "trademark" braided crown

and they fixed the issue with the mouth!!!!!(as seen in the last screenshot the benchmark takes :)) )

have to take a look at the character editor now - brb ^^

[miss-littevi]

Big Sorry to everyone who followed me for FFXIV-content and now getting anything but FFXIV-related posts. I just don't have the energy for posting and I feel a little bit exhausted in terms of FFXIV-stuff as well.

To be clear: I enjoy the content I see - at least most of it - I just feel tired when it comes to my own characters and stories. So there is nothing new I could talk about...

[miss-littevi]

So, my new default team lineup in Honkai Star Rail might not be the most optimal one, but I am not known for playing "build-optimised" so I'll roll with it as long as I can... or when I find IL Den Hang somewhere (he probably is a better DPS than his "first form")

I just love both Hanya and Xueyi and since I am such a lover of sibling dynamic I simply can't separate them as long as it isn't really necessary.

I have a second version of the line up with Lingsha and Welt for when I need a healer and took Welt as "crowd control" character but I am not entirely sure if that is a setup that could work in a boss fight. We (I) will see

And for scale where I am in the story: Penacony. Weird story so far but I'll just wait what it has in store in the next quest steps. Will postpone my judgement of the story until I know what it is all about.
