i'm having an awful dilemma that is stressing me out but it's probably kind of weird...

my main in ffxiv is a lalafell. she's small and cute and i love her, and her gremlin energy matches mine. i feel like, if i were to represent the concept of "me" in game, this is it! even people i know have told me that i just have lalafell energy.

(a few pictures of her for reference, including a very crunchy picture of my silly glam)

i love being a lalafell. i feel like there's not loads of us in endgame, especially not high end content. i wanna be an inspiration to all the little lalafells out there that you can! do!! it!!!

so what's the dilemma, you might ask??

well, i have this OC, gemini. she's based on the original design for my warrior of light, and she has a twin, who is played by someone else in game, and they're miqo'te. i have done 99% of msq as miqo'te, and the small bit i did as viera i felt weird about, because my msq character is my OC! who is a miqo'te! not viera, and not lalafell.

i was thinking about trying this last bit of msq coming up in 7.56 as lalafell just to see how it would feel, but it honestly makes me sad to think about doing it as anything but miqo'te with my OC. but i can't afford to be swapping back and forth between miqo and lala every time msq comes around!

so i've kind of decided my options are...

1: just stay lala. do msq as lala, maybe make up a new lala oc to get invested in, try not to get sad about not using my OC design in msq

2: swap back to miqo'te, probably permanently or for a very long time, and just try not to get sad that i'm not raiding as a lalafell, or

3: get my alt, who is a miqo'te with my OC's name, caught up with msq by the time evercold releases, and use her for msq, while leaving my main as lalafell for raiding and dungeons and everything else, and just be really sad that i don't have all my glams and mounts on my alt, and also getting her caught up would be extremely time consuming, because she's not even done ifrit yet iirc.

anyway. strange problem to have ig. if only i was rich, or i could freely swap between lala and miqo....

#penguin rambles #ffxiv #i just dunno what to do....#another thing i don't want to deal with are comments from people being like “#oh good you're not lalafell anymore!!!!!#swapping back to miqo feels like letting them win #also i miss some glam stuff that just does NOT look good on lalafell

WHAT ABOUT DOOMED SIBLINGS

What if we were two sides of the same coin. What if i lived in your shadow all my life but found comfort in the darkness and dont know what to do once youre gone. What if youre the only person who understands. What if you have have no idea what i went through. What if we went through the same traumas but ended up with oposite conclusions about our suffering. What if i dont recognize you anymore. What if i see the ghost of my former self reflected through your eyes. What if it never had to go this way. What if this was the only way things were ever going to go

you really have no responsibilities as a melee dps. whole team could be falling apart around you and nothing you can even do about it but keep hitting the boss

#did havoc ghostwrite this #ffxiv #(this is also the reason i don't like playing dps i wanna HELP)#(i reprisaled the boss is that enough help)

at some point in your life you will be boiling fruit, water, sugar, and lemon juice in a pot to make a syrup or jam. the instructions will tell you to simmer for a certain amt of time. your timer will go off and you will look at the pot and go, "hm, this doesn't look thick enough. maybe i'll let it go for another 10 minutes." this is the devil speaking. it's only so liquid right now because it is at boiling point. it will thicken when it cools down. learn from the follies of my youth and do not let this happen to you

yokowan

at some point in your life you will be making a sauce or a stew in which you need to add cornstarch to thicken it. and you will prepare a slurry of starch in cold water and think "this looks like way too little starch to thicken this amount of liquid." this is the devil speaking. cornstarch instantly polymerizes at 95°C and if you add too much it will turn into an impossibly thick goop.

le-jardin-inculte

at some point in your life you will be making some sort of cream based dessert that requires gelatin to thicken it. and you will soak some gelatin sheets in water and think "this is too few gelatin sheets for this amount of cream." this is the devil speaking. it will thicken in the fridge and if you add too much you will end up with milk jelly

at some point in your life you will be baking cookies. you will take the sheet out after twelve minutes as the recipe instructs and the cookies will still be glistening and soft. "these don't seem cooked enough," you will think to yourself, "i should place them back into the oven until their edges are nice and golden." this is the devil talking. this is how you get dry, overdone cookies. the cookies will continue to bake on the warm sheet for several more minutes and then harden up after sitting on a rack for a while. trust the process. trust the process.

whitachi

at some point in your life you will be adding a small pasta to a soup and you will think "that is not enough small pasta." this is the devil talking. the pasta will absorb the stock and expand. this is how you end up with a soup that is a solid mass of soggy ditalini.

araceil

At some point in your life you will be adding garlic to a dish and you will think "that is not enough garlic." These are angels speaking. They are correct. Add more garlic.

Two dudes in my group chat have been playing league & slowly but surely have shifted from saying "wanna play league of legends" to "wanna play some geego legends". At this point their average post is just @ing the other and going "geegogagand?" and I feel insane

okay not to ocpost again but the worst thing about having an oc is sometimes they become The Character to you. and you need to talk to someone about it like wow I can’t stop thinking about The Character… but in order to do so you have to like sit them down and explain everything about your oc first. and then it’s just you explaining your writing ideas. i need to talk about them the same way i would talk about any random character i love to someone.

Just a quick comic about my wol, Balun, and an FC mate! The amount of times Nola has died over the years to my tank busters because she has moved into them is astronomical.
