Wanderings of an Elven Catgirl @4lyx - Tumblr Blog

You're back!

...maybe 😊 I'm dipping a toe back in, definitely. I'm crazy busy and don't have time to write/post like I used to, but I've MISSED it - and everyone! Update post soon. Some things have changed!

Only the WoL can travel to the First and back. Lorebreaking like that is why no one want's to RP with people like you.

See, usually I’d snortgiggle to myself, delete this and go on my merry way, but recently, a friend of mine was so harassed by people nitpicking how he played his character that he felt his only recourse was to delete the character.

Therefore…

-ahem-

Fuck you. ^^

Look, I get it on some level, okay? I really do. RP is a collaborative writing effort and it’s really hard to write collaboratively if everyone’s playing off of a varying lore set. It can be remarkably difficult to RP with someone who wants to play their character as being a voidsent, an Ascian, a sin-eater or even from another world.

(Spoiler alert: My Annalei d’Latu is a direct transplant from GW2′s Tyria. And yes, I have that as her backstory! And yes, it’s lorebreaking! And yes, I don’t care!)

You know what you do about people that frustrate you with their refusal to adhere to the Lore™ you personally feel is unbreakable?

You don’t talk to them.

Don’t RP with them. Don’t talk to them. Don’t nitpick their fun.

Trust me when I say I could find a thousand ways to nitpick your character creation, backstory, writing style and RP choices. I could tear it into shreds and call you a hack writer, a miserable excuse for an RPer, boring, etc. etc.

Guess what I do? I just don’t.

If I don’t like the way someone RPs or the way someone writes, if I don’t like their writing choices or their character, I keep my mouth shut. Why? Because it’s not hurting MY fun any to let THEM have THEIRS. Literally no one is making you look at my blog, at Summer’s story or at ANYONE’S fun playtime stuff that doesn’t mesh with how YOU interpret the FFXIV lore and world.

Quite honestly, all you’re doing is being insufferable. And I promise you that insufferable is a lot more damning in the long run than choosing to bend lore and have a little fun that isn’t hurting anyone.

Imagine being so miserable that you go in people’s ask boxes telling them to stop having fun.

If you want green card from the director and producer so bad, anon, here it is Source: [[ Link ]] Interviewer: This is a question on behalf of the game’s roleplaying community. Many players, who do not act as if they are the Warrior of Light, but rather pretend to be everyday adventurers, were excited to create stories that take place on the First but saw that the game’s narrative didn’t really allow travel for “normal” individuals to end up there. If players want to pretend their “normal” characters can travel to and play on the First, is that okay? (I promise this is a question that many of them eagerly await an answer to.) Yoshida: Hrm… Personally, I see video games as something that gives you the freedom to play however you like. So, if you, the player, believe that you can travel to the First, then so be it, right? We have yet to reveal everything about who the Warrior of Light is, and whether they are the only ones who are special. Furthermore, the definition of a “normal individual” seems a bit vague here, as well. I think the power to believe and the desire to persevere are the biggest elements that drive progress in an individual, and so if you believe that you as a character can go to the First, then wouldn’t that be enough? A life dictated by someone else is no fun anyhow, is it?

I dunno how to tell the original anon that you don’t get the right to try and stop people having fun just because you personally don’t like that brand of fun yourself.

Do you also go to people and children in the street who are playing, idfk, football or another sport you don’t like yourself as an example, and tell them that their fun is wrong, anon?

Anyway, while I try to stick to lore to some degree I have the hugest amount of respect for those who are lore breaking or extremely lore bending when RPing cos of the amount of shit they get in the FFXIV community.

So long as they’re not being a dick or a bigot, let people have fun, dude. It’s really not that hard to unfollow people or ignore their posts.

Important enough to come back from the dead to reblog this. Lore-wankers, gtfo, you’re not welcome.

note to self

stop wondering about her, how she is, who she’s with, what she’s doing. stop remembering the good times like that’s all you guys had.

stop torturing yourself.

life will go where it goes for both of you, and right now, there are other things.

Happy fucking 2020

I have no idea how so much shit could be fit into 5 days, but here we are.

do you ever have a really perfect daydream

but then it starts to hurt

because you realise you’ve filled it with all the things missing from your life and you’re suddenly hit with the fact that it’s not real

and instead of being a happy refuge from reality it becomes a reminder of the gaping holes in your heart that only fantasies can fill

it’s too complicated to talk about with anyone but it’s all that’s been going through my mind. i would talk about it with you but it’s about you.

cash app link culture was popularized by sex workers who are now routinely banned from the platforms they were instrumental in building. pass it on.

bimbocracy

all your favorite cash apps built their platforms on the backs of sex workers and then banned sex workers when they got big enough to run shit without them. square cash, circle pay, venmo, gift rocket, even fucking patreon. all patronized predominantly by sex workers at first, all banned sex workers as soon as they got off the ground.
