I'd planned to return after my vacation but something happened and I decided to extend my hiatus indefinitely. On this blog, at least. I still occasionally post on my main blog.
I'd fallen out with a long time friend I had made through this community. It was largely my fault. I over reacted to something and admittedly, it wasn't the first time. They felt like they had to walk on eggshells around me. I wasn't a good friend like I thought I was. Of course, me and my need to fix the situation went and made it worse by not respecting their wishes and leaving them alone. So I was blocked.
So I thought that was it. It should have been. Then I found out that they believed I plagerised some of their headcanons and gposes for a certain ship. If they had been telling people that I was a bitch, fair enough but stealing headcanons is something I would never do. I thought they knew me better than that. The headcanons I supposedly stole, were ideas that I had helped research and brainstorm with them. How can I steal something I helped create? Perhaps I'm wrong, and if I am, so be it. It wasn't malicious. I had been blocked and they have a much, much larger blog than mine. I didn't think they would ever see my writing and our writing style is very different I don't think anyone would think they were copying me.
As for the gposes, I have no idea why they think that. Most of my gposes for that ship were taken after we had parted ways. I was blocked by then, so there was no way I could have stolen anything. The few that weren't were my ideas anyway that I had taken whilst making screenshots for and rp we had going at the time.
I'm just typing this because I need to vent. I thought they knew me better than that. I know we fell out because of me and you have every right to be angry, but don't accuse me of things I never did.
Taking a break from FFXIV, not just because GW2 has me in a vice grip, but because I have family visiting in a few weeks then I'm going on vacation with my husband (it's our 10 year wedding anniversary!!). Letting my sub run out as I dont want to pay for time I won't be playing :>
I'll be back with screenshots when I return, probably. If GW2 releases me from its clutches. Maybe.
My 8 year relationship ended about 3 months ago and its been... an adjustment. I like doing the happy shots, but sometimes you gotta let the sad out too. I'm still learning to accept that being sad about it is okay.
It has been brought to my attention that there's Viera players out there greeting people with "Bunjour" and it's genius and I wish I thought about it myself
Wuk Lamat tilted her head. "I thought you said that auri women were small."
"Most are," Erenville corrected. "Khaliun is one of the few women I've met who doesn't fit into the sexual dimorphism common in most Au ra people."
"'Dimorphism'? Is she going to transform on us?"
Erenville's already flat expression flattened further. "'Dimorphism' is a scientific term. Like butterflies of the same species having different patterns depending on if they're male or female. I don't know the particulars, and it would be rude to ask, but she just doesn't follow the pattern of being small like most auri women are."
"Of course that would be rude to ask!" Wuk Lamat rolled her eyes. "It's like your faith in me to be polite has dwindled."
He shrugged. "Let's go meet with her before we're truly rude."
* * *
"I mean, if you're sure you want me," Khaliun said after they asked the all important question. "Most people find me then realize that I'm not Rowan and are mildly disappointed."
"Of course we want you," Erenville said. "You lead the disparate tribes of the Steppe across Ilsabard to Gyr Abania, not Rowan. Besides that, I heard that she and Urianger were recently married. Wuk Lamat needs someone with more focus than someone fresh off of her honeymoon."
"I can't argue with that." Wuk Lamat rubbed the back of her head. "If Tural is to remain in peace, I need someone who has worked with varying groups of people. Keep them coordinated. Though Papa has united us, there's a risk of it all falling apart if the wrong claimant takes the Dawnthrone."
The soft look on Khaliun's face made Wuk Lamat's heart skip a beat. "Even though I lead the Xaela to war... I'd love to keep a peace without bloodshed."
"Then it's settled! With your help, I'll be Dawnservant in no time!" Wuk Lamat grinned broadly.
Khaliun's soft smile broadened into a chuckle. A very dazzling chuckle.
"There's a few details I would have ironed out ere we charter passage back to Tural. And let's not settle for only one more body in our entourage."
"Oh, of course. The more the merrier." Wuk Lamat turned to Khaliun. "Who would you take with you to help?"
"I would take Rowan, but with how recently she got married I doubt I could pull her away from Urianger in any meaningful manner..." She had the most beautiful green eyes. "A'quexta and Thorsthal are still busy on their Island Sanctuary... The Students of Baldesion are down a few members, but G'raha is always itching for adventure and Krile has said she's felt left out lately. I'd say we start there."
"Baldesion..." Wuk Lamat put a hand to her chin. "That name sounds familiar..."
I think he would've matched his freak T-T or... outdone it, in some regards...
