Claire-de-lumière

Between beauty and decay, I wander. FFXIV gpose, scattered writing, and the quiet ache of thoughts I can’t silence.

WELP. If I want pretty fae things, I have to finally bite the bullet and do Palace of the Dead.

Okay, Anna. It's you and me, bitch. We've got days off from work, we can do this.

And I forgot the max level you can reach with PotD is 60.

SO.

The initial "well maybe I'll level SAM up with this" has proven laughably incorrect. (Everyone who actually knows how FFXIV works instead of just GPose is probably absolutely dying of laughter right now.)

Everyone's saying MCH is the one to use, so... Now we reset (thankfully I paused after floor 10 so I'm not losing much progress) and... start over.

Again.

(I wonder how many times I'll end up doing this.)

-wheezes on level 20-

how is it that I'm a caster main but struggle so hard with physical ranged...

Did...

Did leveling WAR spoil me?!

Well, I'm stuck with MCH now, so maybe this'll inspire me to finish leveling it out of PotD to level 100.

...but my ass is saving out now before I pull a Stupid from lack of sleep.

The only problem with having free time and ADHD is I end up determined to NOT (!) pull the "unstructured time + ADHD = rot away in reading chair while the Simpsons play in the background and I reread the same four Stephen King books" thing.

So I set GOALS! And I've accomplished two! (Deep cleaned the kitchen/cat area and now the living room). And... forgot that "get to level 50 in PotD" was one of those goals.

...but that's FINE I have MORE days and only two more rooms to deep clean before the usual housecleaning on Friday, I can DO this.

⸺ the love letter my hair is seaweed sweetened by salt brushed lovingly in the waves; it is ink swaths combed across parchment bearing secret meanings in every strand; i run my fingers through and feel how warmly it shines

Did you know Yein (and Sacheo) was born with a head of black hair? The white set in rather suddenly as they approached puberty. When I was too young to know better, I resented my black hair and made sure my mama knew this. It was a glaring flaw -- one of many that made me Asian and a target for verbal abuse and physical attacks by White kids at school. Nearing the end of three decades, I'm finally accepting more and more of the qualities that babby Iron was made to loathe. Now you understand the caption.

Memories in Binary The archives blur. But between light and static, ghosts still linger.
