Everyone on Tumblr rn

Not gonna doom and gloom about the state of things but:

If you’re an FFXIV player and going to be posting a lot on Twitter soon, reblog with a link. It’s a bit rough trying to find everyone’s info and it’s really easy to miss it so this is an easy way to at least find those who are looking at twitter as an option.

Mine is: https://twitter.com/ArcFFXIV

#ffxiv #twitter #or just follow me I guess that works too lol

Todd Howard made it to Stormblood.

Todd quit playing FF14 and go fix Fallout 76

Guess I'm done with Tumblr now. While my content is largely SFW, I still can't continue using a site that bans all adult content. I'm not okay with that. So, where is everyone else going? Lol

i had some Thoughts™

So fucking true.

I only seem to attract men, or at least male characters, in FFXIV and this is a problem for me because I'm not interested in men lol. Like, I don't know what I'm doing that's giving people the impression that I'm gay. To be clear though I'm straight, Arc's straight, it's in the character info lol.

I’m not tanking anymore.

Haven’t logged in yet today and this isn’t due to any specific event but the more I think about it the more I just have literally no interest in tanking in FFXIV. There’s just so much salt and toxicity directed at tanks (and healers) that it’s just not worth it for me anymore. No joke I’d rather wait 30 minutes in queues for every single thing I do than continue tanking. It’s nearly a daily occurrence that I run into just toxic shitty assholes in DFRs and being on tank just makes me a bigger target for people. Honestly, this is the biggest reason FFXIV lacks tanks in my opinion. There’s so much shit thrown at them by the other roles and the expectation to essentially be perfect is too much. The lack of options may not help the issue but the community is driving them away and it’s 10000% not encouraging new players to be tanks.

admit it, we’ve all fantasised about slow-dancing in the kitchen barefoot in our pyjamas at 2am in the arms of someone we love while old romantic jazz songs play softly on the radio

Well here’s some incoherent rambling bs so you’ve been warned.

I have an issue with actually talking to people and having anyone around to actually talk to. Like no joke I can’t remember the last time someone on any site/method of communication reached out to me first. It’s practically never and when it does happen it typically doesn’t last.

So why don’t I reach out first? Great idea except when I do that I tend to just get ignored or if I do get any response it’s pretty short lived. Also I don’t want to be the one reaching out every single time, I just feel like I’m annoying the person at that point.

Honestly I just want there to be some effort from both sides, not just one. This has been an issue for me for years though so it’s probably my fault, I mean I’m the common denominator there. There’s just something wrong with me where I’m not someone anyone wants to talk to.

Expect Wildstar Refugees

As most of you might know, Wildstar shut down today. It, in my opinion, had an amazing and thriving RP community that remains passionate about the game even now after it’s been shutdown. Many of them are looking for a new MMO to go to, and many have expressed interest in FFXIV. If you see any of these guys, please treat them well, be nice, and be respectful. They were all great people, and it really sucks to have your game of choice shut down like that.

I’m sure it goes without saying, but please give them a warm welcome.

I welcome all Wildstar refugees to FFXIV. Also we might be getting Viera soon, coincidence or power move? Lol

It’s so true.

…I almost killed myself

I put on my sunglasses, to hide my swollen eyes, over my tears. I cried all my makeup off. Went inside to have a milkshake. I don’t know why. I wanted something to drink as I figured out what I would do. I got a soda and a milkshake. Medium. The cashier looked at me and with a line around the corner of the counter he rushed away from the counter “Hold on “ he yelled to a coworker.

I filled my soda and went back and saw him looking all over. I go up and he gets close and says “I made it a large”.

That was seriously enough for me not to do it. His kindness. Someone went out of their way and as I went back in my car to cry I realized I could muster through a few other days. A few more weeks. Then I came down from that panicky high of anxiety, depression, and pain. I finished my shake. And it was enough time to let me feel better. I… I’m alive. I’ll make it through.

Try and be nice today. Tomorrow. Something as much as a smile. It helped so much.

Thank you man at McDonalds.

The milkshake saved my life

blackheartseverywhere

I hope you all can read this and remember to be kind

The smallest of gestures can save a life. My Mum answered her phone when I called and I am alive today because of that.

badsciencejokes

I’m glad you’re here.

It’s a phone call, a milkshake, a friend.

badsciencejokes

I feel like I shouldn’t keep reblogging this but when I do more people see what kindness can do…. I don’t know. Love everyone as yourself.

nunyabizni

Nah, keep rebloging it. It gives hope.

walked sobbing around a city once wearing a summer dress in mid-september thunder and rain. basically dragged myself into LUSH as the smell of the store always made me smile. the shop was empty and dead due to the weather, just this blonde short woman behind the counter who smiled at me. i stared at her feet and asked ‘do you have anything for people who are scared a lot?’ (i was so out of it i had no clue). she showed me two bath bombs, one pink and one blue, and said both were good - i chose the pink, paid for it and left. i then sat at a bus stop clutching the LUSH bag in one arm and my prescription meds in the other - i’d lied and ordered a refill so i could just drift away with sleeping pills. when the bus arrived and i was out of the rain, i decided to have another look at my bath bomb, smell it and what not. opened my bag and saw she’d put the blue one in there for me as well and written on the receipt ‘feel better soon :) hope you like x’.

no one had ever been so selflessly kind to me before, i didn’t know what to do with it except hang around long enough to use the other bath bomb.

If you’ve ever said “she’s too tall” you’re an absolute coward lol

trans-girl-waiting

I’m so about how popular this post is, tall girls are so good

arcjurado-blog

I see people posting about how men apparently refuse to date women who are taller than them but I was always told the exact opposite. I was always told that women want absolutely nothing to do with any man who is shorter than them. I think there’s a conspiracy to keep short men and tall women apart.
