Music of the Muse
Music is a key part in the creative process, and I know there are a lot of writers out there that have whole playlists for their muses. So, let’s see about sharing some of what goes into these characters we write for!
Send a symbol and I’ll send a song. Will give context upon request!
🎵 - Theme music
⚔️ - Fight music
⌛️ - Character’s theme as a final boss.
🎉 - Victory music
👢 - Traveling/wandering music.
🔮 - A song relating to the character’s use of magic.
💛 - A song relating to family
💗 - A song relating to a friend (Provide a character name!)
💖 - A song relating to love
💔 - A song relating to heartbreak
🍺 - Drinking/Intoxicated music
💋 - A song for sex
🍼 - A song relating to parenthood
🚿 - Song the muse might sing in the shower
💀 - A song relating to death/mourning
🏠 - A song relating to home
🎭 - A song to fit a certain mood/emotion (Suggest one!)
🛌 - A song that matches the muse’s dreams/nightmares (Pick one!) Special thanks to @windandscales, @houserosaire, and @zoetic-grimoire for giving some suggestions/general moral support while I over thought the ever living fuck out of this.
Been a while but music is always fun!

Writeblr Event Interest Check
Hey writing community!
This is an interest check for a weekly writeblr “event”. I use the term VERY loosely because this event is no commitment required with minimal effort involved so you can jump in whenever you have time/energy!
What I’m proposing:
Every Friday, I invite you to hop in my inbox and share something you’re proud of in your WIP. Some examples include (but are not limited to!):
A phrase/sentence/excerpt that you especially like
A character you LOVE
Your favorite worldbuilding element
Or just the fact that you’re falling in love with your WIP again!
Why should you join this event? What do you get out of it?
I want to see your writing! 😍😍😍
Exposure to the writing community! I have 980+ followers. When I publish the excerpt you send in, your work is getting a big signal boost!
Connect with other writers! Do you see a WIP excerpt you like? Do you see a few authors who write in the same genre as you? Drop them a message and tell them how much you enjoyed their WIP excerpt!
An encouraging and positive atmosphere to share your writing! Maybe you’re a lone wolf and you don’t have many friends. Or your family/friends don’t support your writing. If you share your work in this event, you will ALWAYS be supported!
General FAQ
Do I have to sign up for this event? No signs up necessary! I’ll post a graphic, announcing that it’s Friday, and you can send in your content whenever you want!
I don’t have any writing that I want to share but I have OC art/maps/other artistic content. Can I send that in? Absolutely! If it pertains to your WIP in ANY way, you are welcome to share it!
I don’t want to share my work (copyright reasons/shy/etc.) Can I still participate? YES YOU CAN! Feel free to send in a generic message, gushing about your WIP and how much you love working on it! The point of this event is to share your writing joy in any and all forms! ♥
I want to send something in but I don’t want you to publish it. Is that okay? That’s totally fine! Just let me know in your message if you don’t want it published and I’ll respond privately!
Can I share fanfiction? Absolutely! Any and ALL forms of writing are welcome in this event!
EDIT 6.1.2021: THIS EVENT IS A GREEN LIGHT!!! We’re doing this!!
Please keep signal boosting like CRAZY and welcome other writeblrs out there to join in the fun! I can’t wait to see what you send in!! ♥♥♥
100 Days Of Writing - The Process
Here’s how we’ll do this, starting tomorrow.
Make a post about your writing every day. While I hope that you’ll add a lot of words to your stories, I don’t want us to focus on wordcounts. I want you to think about your stories, your characters, your motivation for writing.
Any sort of writing is valid for this: original fiction, fanfiction, non-fiction.
I’ll be posting a theme or a question each day but you don’t have to use those. You can reblog from my post or make your own post with a mention of @the-wip-project and under the tag #100daysofwriting. Your post can be as long or short as you like. You have to warn for mature subjects and keep those sections under the cut of a :read more: .
I encourage you all to read what other writers say and reblog with comments if you have ideas and get inspired. Keep everything respectful and don’t give unsolicited criticism.
I’ll try to read and react to posts but over 50 people have registered for this via the form and more than 200 have reblogged the post to participate, so please have mercy 😜, I may not get to everyone’s posts.
I’m probably in a different time zone than most of you but I don’t think that’s a problem. You can post whenever you like and look around what others posted when it is convenient for you. And anyway, you know where to find this blog, right? 😍
Tomorrow we start! 100daysofwriting

FFXIV MSQ-related asks
As a community, we don’t talk nearly enough about how the MSQ impacts our muses’ life and what better than a meme to remedy that? Feel free to reblog to your heart content.
(Huge thanks to @flood-of-shadow for helping me with the questions and proofreading.)

Did they think that sending contingent in the Sea of Clouds was a wise choice or was it a waste of resources better used against dragons?

Another battle at Carteneau, this time side-to-side with the beast tribes against Garleans and primals. Did you muse hear about it? What’s their opinion on the subject?
Old character, new blog looking to follow some folks. Please reblog if you have a FFXIV RP/IC blog. Thank you!
REBLOG THIS IF:
You love taking screenshots
You’re down for RP and wanna plot something
You want more people to RP with
It’s okay to reach out to you to talk
Bonus points if you’re on Crystal DC!
I am not immune to the trope of "character overextends themselves in a bout of god-like power and immediately passes out afterwards".
Bonus points if they do a superhero landing and / or crack a one liner before collapsing.
Double bonus points if right before they collapse into a puddle the last thing they see is their friends / love interest sprinting towards them at high velocity.
what you should do if you see a fic/character/ship that you don’t like:
-hit the back button and/or scroll past it, and read/view something else.
-go write your own story/make your own art with your own OCs/ship/etc.
what you should not do:
-whine on anon like a passive aggressive coward
seriously, you contribute nothing of value whatsoever to your fandom when you do this. no one is here for your sense of entitlement to fan content or a bunch of rancid vibes from an internet stranger. go create content yourself. you’ll see just how quickly your willingness to be a dick to someone over their ship or their art or their fic will change, when it’s your time and efforts on the chopping block.
Whose it gonna be kupo?
General reminder that Final Fantasy games love to recycle names and concepts and certain things are shared between games to keep them in the same series. However.
Just because something is in a prior game doesn’t mean that lore holds exactly the same in FFXIV. Cid is different in every game—in a couple the Cid is even a villain. The viera have similarities to the FFXII viera—and are related to the retelling in the StB raid series—but they are different characters in similar yet differing circumstances and with different influences. Ascians share some traits with characters in FFXII too but that doesn’t make that lore definitive for our red masked frenemies.
If the devs of Final Fantasy XIV say “this is our lore for these characters/concepts” that is the lore for this game. Do whatever you want to it in roleplay and fanfiction (the devs encourage that!) but don’t try to argue “but the lore!!!” When your source is a whole other game.
This is the story Yoshida, Oda, Ishikawa, and company are telling us, using influences from the series because FFXIV is a theme park and love letter to the franchise. And its own story with its own characters.
Also Yoshida is on record at other FanFests for saying let people enjoy things and RP whatever so just stop telling people it’s “wrong” what this team is writing instead of how it was written by a different team for a different game you have fond memories of playing a decade or two ago.
Also also, folks melted down over no bunny bois 2 years ago and now we get them and not only do people pretend the ladies haven’t existed this whole time but it’s “wrong” to have viera dudes playable cuz of lore in another game and on the First. More than padjal white mages exist and a ton of black mages too despite the legality of those jobs, and lots of playable miqo’te men. “The lore” refers to general world state anyway, not player populations, but again: just ignore what doesn’t work for you and work with what does.
9S: Wait, how did you know about our mission? It was supposed to be top secret!

(Guess who's back? It's only been, uh... 2 years since the last update, LOL. But the androids' ask box is OPEN so please submit questions for 2B or 9S to answer! I'll be updating once a month, I hope you enjoy!)
