Doing the magic dps role quest for DT. Did the guy use the idol thing to brainwash the kids? Because what he wanted was to be the "hero" of Radz-at-Han.

Also what the fuck does he have against fungurs?

Hythlodaeus, Themis, and Hephaistos standing over a sleeping Emet-Selch: Hades, the WoL went to the Thirteenth. Hades. Hades, the Thirteenth. Hades--

Emet, shoving an aetherial pillow over his head: ABSOLUTELY NOT. NO. FUCK OFF.

Pretty much every single person on the Source and First:

The Warrior of Light/Darkness is a perfect person who has never done anything wrong, ever. A true hero. We love and respect them.

Pretty much every single Ancient on Etheirys:

Azem is a fucking menace to society. We placed a tracking device on them so we'll know if the latest volcanic explosion has anything to do with them (it always does). Yesterday the esteemed Emet-Selch started crying from frustration in the middle of a meeting. This is a regular occurrence.

Alisaie has been Best Girl for a while now, but Endwalker really just makes me love her exponentially more.

How hard is it to be in the shadow of a sibling you love beyond measure? You’re one of the two youngest students ever admitted to the Sharlayan Studium - but you entered half a year later, your brother will always be the first and the youngest ever. You graduated with what amounts to a master’s degree by the time you were 16 - but you didn’t graduate with honors, you’re compelled to point out, while your brother did. Your brother was and continues to be one of the most popular students of the current generation; you, meanwhile, admit that you literally never had any friends who were close enough to be invited to your home while you were in school. 

Despite all this, you are the one who stubbornly sticks to a topic long enough to solve one of the greatest magical/aetherical problems of your time, not because it’s your lifelong topic of interest or because you want the acclaim, but because you’ve half-adopted two younger children who are affected by this problem and you refuse to leave them to die, slowly or otherwise. Maybe you’re not the one that does the research or comes up with the theories, but you’re the one who doggedly pursues the angles until the people who do have the research and the knowledge open up to you and discover the combination of facts that work. You drag Eorzea into a cure for tempering not by being the most brilliant or the biggest expert, but simply by virtue of having a heart big enough for everyone and enough stubbornness to fill it twice over.

Being stubborn is your superpower. Being stubborn, and caring far, far too much. You’re 20(ish) years old and you’re prickly and quick to anger, and you’re sure that the brother who stands next to you and looks exactly like you is always going to be just that little bit better than you, not that you hold it against him in any but the most standard of sibling ways. But little do you know that there are people out there who think you’re the dashing hero, who look at you as you throw yourself between danger and anyone in its path and think you are someone to be emulated, someone to admire. You, just as you are, with no thought for anything to do with your family. Your heart defines you, not your last name.

… I adore her, is what I’m saying. I absolutely fucking adore her.

Got several relic memories while reflect farming in Bozja. Also figured out how to actually farm both essences and clusters. Need the essences for the cluster farm. Got a lot of memories from that when I did it a few days later.

So between those things for some reason I remembered the Eureka part of the Challenge Log Monday night/early Tuesday morning before reset and I fixated on completing it. So I went to Pagos and leveled a bit there (my first time there and I basically remember none of the story so I need to go look that up on youtube).

Then all the guides said you needed to have done an Anemos weapon and I still had rather a lot of crystals to get so I went back to Anemos and got them. There were some very nice people there actually. Didn't expect that after midnight on a Monday/Tuesday. So I basically timed out of the instance because I stayed so long and got another level too but I got all the crystals I needed and the feathers so I decided since I'm using Scholar to do stuff there I'll do that weapon.

A side note I'll have all 3 relic weapons for Scholar from ARR to SB once I complete this which seems kinda weird? I think my thought process was the ARR one looks cool, I have the ARR one and need to get rid of it->do the HW one, and for Stormblood I just listened to the guide that said having Selene/Eos would make leveling and grinding in Eureka easier.

I hate monk it makes no sense but leveling to 70 will make the arr relic much quicker when I eventually get to it. I will actually have more space in my inventory/retainers if I get all the relics I have left to the Atma stage so I'm going to do that…probably this week. (yes I know I have Genshin & HSR events/quests to do but I'm avoiding them for some reason)

I opened up the triple triad tournament thing because I've been doing all the challenges I come across for some reason so I figured do the tournament get the card and grab the mount eventually. Anyway the reason I'm mentioning this is that i changed my language to just German to make sure I'm only battling npc (I think it works like this).

I apparently never changed it back. I figured this out because I'd been sitting in an Alliance Raid roulette for 90+minutes at #1 on the list and yet it never popped. Every roulette that I tried except for the msq roulette was over 30min wait. So right before I freaked out completely I realized that I had change the languages and didn't remember changing them back, lol.

Guess who wiped themself out trying to carry a large Emergency Kit up the brick and stone porch stairs and into the house. ->me<-

So my palms are bruised, one of my knees is torn up (the same one I scraped up when I crashed my bike a few years ago...I can actually see the scars from that still didn't expect it to last so long), and several toes on the other foot are sore and scraped but not bloody because that's how I tripped. my sandal caught the step, my toes landed on the step, and I couldn't recover so I fell.

Of course dad decided that this was the perfect time to say that its a good thing I was bringing in an emergency kit with the implication (which he has said before) that since I'm not bleeding out or unconscious I should just walk it off and mom came to me a minute after I finished patching myself up before I managed to eat breakfast and demanded I get up and do the dishes and I'm like with my legs and feet all fucked and my hands a mess? But she didn't really take it back.

I'm remembering more and more that I didn't just move out to avoid watching my mother kill herself slowly. But I can't actually make myself do anything about moving out.

Well, shit. This also means that showering and doing my hair are going to be painful for a few days. *&^%$#

I kept refreshing the update page of FFXIV while it was in maintenance. Logged in the moment that I could after the early finish notice went up.

The Novice Network when I logged in just had me in it. It was so weird but also so cool.

[tpwrtrmnky]

girls with adhd playing long rpgs like "i am overwhelmed by the state of the save file i left off with last time my attention arbitrarily fell onto this game. time to start from scratch."

[tpwrtrmnky]

"yeah i fucking love this game. i've bought it on console and pc, and then the remaster too. i have no idea how it ends, i only get 40% of the way through the main story each time"

So did anyone else finish EW and go back to do some more of the arr/hw relics and then stop and stare at the screen because suddenly what we're feeding our relic to get stronger sounds a lot like dynamis (hello crystalized dynamis in different colors, your name is atma, nice to-I fucking hate your rng).

[darkandlightdance]

Welcome to sudden hyperfixation mode!

I spent yesterday completing a couple steps of the Shadowbringers Relic. I did something like 50 FATEs (I restarted the quest and got an aditional 20+) and 4 runs of Delubrum Reginae. But that was all I did yesterday.

[darkandlightdance]

So I got my SCH to 99 and put on the artifact gear and managed to clear the light stage of HW relics finally. Managed to do the Savage raid in 2m24s on average with an ilv of 600. Pretty proud of that.

I was also the madwoman who decided to farm all the Atma that I need for the 6 ARR relics I haven't finished yet. Took three days (yesterday I only had to do 1 more Atma but it counts) to get all 72 Atma and I never have to do it again on this character.

Now I need to see if I can stack the HW astral/umbral crystals so I can get rid of my completed relics and unlock the replica versions.

Got most of my Zadnor FATE items but only a few of the CE items. Trying to figure out if I should try and camp there this weekend and get them that way or simply always have duty finder up to get them that way.

edit: Yes they stack! Only 2 inventory slots!

Okay so I'm kinda dumping all my ffxiv liveblogs tonight even if I havent actually managed to finish the last bit of 7.1. I spoiled myself about what happens because I could tell that there was going to be something dramatic and I sometimes manage to actually finish a scene when I know how it ends. Liveblog starts:

finally finishing the 7.1 alliance raid quests. Well that's a weird reaction to being asked if you created the guy like everything else in this area.

I did some MSQ!!! This is going to be a Koana forgiveness thing isn't it. On the one hand healing is nice, on the other some people are just assholes. So changing the narrative on what happened when he was a kid isn't necessary. Yeah big bad happened in the past but making the timeline line up with when Koana was found…I don't know…it just doesn't hit right for me.

Also, Koana, the switch from doing everything he can do be different from where he came from to trying to die for a rroneek…That was too quick a change. The bit before the fight where he finds he likes them was actually pretty okay. But liking them and trying to die for them are different so that was jarring I guess.

Erenville keeps being the mvp for keeping calm and being competent. His new look and keychain are great. :)

Okay…one this is not going to go well lady, he's shown no interest in you so suddenly having a kid is not going to change how he feels about you positively. Especially if you sprung it on him because he seems pretty damn surprised. Two, was not expecting that breakdown. Sucks but at that point in time he's not completely bugnuts crazy?

Oh…Can someone tell me why the child ruler of a high-tech city is still wearing stained and worn robes that match no one else in this tower…need to check outside but pretty sure they don't match anyone else in the dome either.

Thinking about that guy's reaction to the kid. I think that its very interesting how differently I read the dialog when I was reading it in script form online to how the scene actually happened. The tone of voice for those lines wasn't really a self-absorbed asshole it was a man who didn't know the kid existed and thought he'd fuck the kid up if he got involved.

I'd really like to know where his fixation on having to prove himself came from.

[darkandlightdance]

fuck my gacha luck. I just want Illuga. Instead I've gotten 4 copies of Goro...Thanks for completing my cons but I still want Illuga.

Hoyo needs to let us rate up several 4stars in the standard banner so we can actually get some of these characters.

[darkandlightdance]

100+ pulls and a Geo dps but I finally have Illuga...I just have no more pulls.

[darkandlightdance]

Finishing the last few parts of the EW Tank role-quests. Kan-E really did just repeat herself after getting info from the guys at the place where you first torture yourself with relic weapons. Don't know if it's the depression or the fact that I'm kinda tired of Eorzea making us do everything that has me not very interested in these quests.

Ah…Kan-E isn't the Seedseer Council you and your younger siblings? Or are you guys the only White Mages in Gridania? I know there was something special about those three.

Also is anyone going to investigate why the dead wife died? The meds just not working after if looked like they did shouldn't have happened without some kind of follow up even in that kind of society. (unlike what happens in reality)
