My hottest take about Heavensward I guess is that Haurchefant should have come on the Dravanian road trip. For being such a major character in HW we get to do surprisingly little with him until the very end. Just imagine: Ysayle like "I will expose the truth and tear down the Holy See," and Estinien all "I'M GONNA STAB NIDHOGG SEVENTY-SEVEN TIMES" and Haurchefant in the middle like, "Is it not a sign of Halone's blessing that we are here together, comrades all, working for the good of Ishgard!! 😊😊😊" He'd have been so proud of Alphinaud for building his little campfire. And he'd have fucking loved the moogles.

I dropped a few more chapters of Fal's story into my Ao3 - of particular note, my first two batches of Eorzean dirty limericks, which have already garnered 2 and 4 notes in an hour, respectively. Which is actually pretty good for my being a total recluse in the FFXIV community, and unknown in the Ao3 community (does it even have a community? I don't even know.)

...I'd be uploading them much faster if not for having to convert them all from .wps *wailing and gnashing of teeth* but I'll try to drop a few more tomorrow.

In other news, I never bothered with the 7.0 Benchmark, but I guess that may have been a good thing considering Yoshi-P apologized for it. I know they said they promised to light dark-skinned characters better, which could go badly (please don't whitewash Fal,) but frankly I'm mostly worried about them sanding off those statuesque face #4 cheekbones.

I mean, look at them. Anyone who would destroy those is a monster.

The young fisherman took the esteemed guildmaster Wawalago's cheeky advice of "A fisher's most important boone is his drink" very literally...

character playlists always should have the following:

song that is pretty accurate to the character’s story

song that doesn’t fit the character at all but i was thinking about them while listening to it on loop

song that has one or two lines accurate to the character’s story

song that just kind of is the character’s vibe

song that i desperately wish they would listen to because i personally like it

song that fits the character so well that it’s scary

unsure why this song is in the playlist but it’s so ingrained in my mind as 'part of the playlist' that it would feel weird to remove it

still love the vague implication that etheirys originally had earth-like ecosystems until the ancients started creating and releasing 58.693.486.946 fucked up concepts per year and that's why hydaelyn is Like That now

this is why we have to do roulettes every week lest every abandoned building and wayward barrel becomes instantly overrun with fire breathing slimes or whatever the fuck

The Construct 8 minion is canon for Saeed. Whilst being a fun little companion, it makes a GREAT calculator for when he's gotta divvy out gil to his gang.

Also can confirm... I main a male Midlander but GOD do I love Roe ladies. Silent Spring here is an alt and these are bad screens from an old computer but she big and I'm love her.

I always thought this screen made her look like she was a kindergarten teacher getting the kids together for storytime.

And a closeup for no reason other than the fact that I love her color scheme.

[grabbing your shoulders] listen. the next time you make a character in ff14 i need you to make a max height femroe. it doesnt matter how big her tits are or how muscular she is you just need to make her max height. it is the ultimate way to experience the game where you are taller than basically everyone in the msq other than varis and zenos

you are a head taller than emet-selch

even max height male au'ra pcs can't fucking measure up to your esitmated 7'3" ~ 7'4". the only people that can be taller are max height maleroe and so few people do max height

join the honorable cause of Tall Women
