You may find me in your notes for a few different fandoms so I wanted to clear things up!

Hi hi! I'm Batty. ✭ I am 30+ so I am a fandom old. ✭ There may be spice in my posts or reblogs and I prefer people to be 21+ before interacting with any of my blogs. ✭ I lean heavily into self indulgence and things I love. Cringe is dead and I'm too old to entertain a child that's embarrassed to enjoy something.

As this is my main account, I figured I might need to make a pinned post that can serve as a landing page instead of just my OC roster post on an OC's page.

My general art blog is @batty-rambles-on ; my AO3 is rambles_on but it doesn't really have much of anything on it right now. That will hopefully change in the near future lol

My favorite OC is Elena and I love to shove her into all my favorite worlds; you can find her blog at @wanderingstarshard though she will pop up in my other general blogs. She is 100000% self indulgent in every way and explores a ton of my favorite tropes and cliches.

She is from our world but her body was shredded on the passage to whatever world she's been tossed to; as a result, she's essentially a soul taking on a solid form. Colorless, like she's spun of starlight; inhuman and eerie. Oft wears black clothes and obscures herself entirely because of this. She's a mage that's best with healing and defensive magic. The journey did break parts of her soul off and she's missing pieces; gathering them up will help restore some lost memories of her world and some of her lost power. (Others that found the pieces believe them to be relics of strange magic and they can be tricky to find and get back in some cases.)

She's either going through the story line, is a companion to the main character, or is entirely derailing it into an AU.

You can find my FFXIV OC Character Roster Post right here. This is the post that was previously pinned on my blog. Most of them have their own side blogs linked from that post; my WoL and her FC shares a blog. It will be updated as soon as I figure out Mirka's character lol

My Baldur's Gate 3 related blog is @lost-in-faerun where you can find related reblogs and OC content.

My Dragon Age related blog is @rambles-on-dragon-age where you can find related reblogs and OC content.

I must not fall victim to disgust. Disgust is the heart-killer. Disgust is the little-death that brings total apathy. I will face my disgust. I will permit it to pass over me and through me. And when it has gone past I will turn the inner eye to see its path. Where the disgust has gone there will be nothing. Only I will remain.

Just gonna say that insisting that any character has to be gay or straight is reductive to a game that does not imply canon romantic/sexualities. It is also reductive to queers as a whole. Insisting that a flamboyant man has to be gay is homophobic and biphobic at the same time. You can have your personal headcanons and also not be biphobic about it either

[the-irreverend]

And stay safe everyone!

[galpalaven]

anyway that xiv comic fragments' author is an out and proud biphobe so do not put his shit on my dash anymore thanks 🙏😊

[birues]

for those who want to know the url of the biphobe, it's @/nights-at-crystarium

after his blantant biphobia he has chosen to ignore people who have called him out and also has the audacity to act as a victim as if he is not the one who is outright hostile to bi folks. he also thinks if he grows big enough, his biphobia will be more acceptable.

Illia has finally been remade on Dynamis. ♥

So I will be posting more gpose of her soon.

Will be updating/rewriting her profile as well I think.

Happy holidays from the Philippines! 🎀🌠

I would like to preface by wishing everyone a great end of year celebration! Everyone has just been amazing through their support and we are beyond grateful.

Sadly, on behalf of our family, I am once again asking for help. After a tough year and a super typhoon that destroyed our home, we are unfortunately at wits end allover again.

My government scholarship — that was supposed to be used not only for my studies, but also for our everyday expenses like food, electricity and water, AND the holidays so we can also celebrate — was delayed even more. It's been seven months and we might be looking for another 2-3 month wait. Because of this, our family will not be celebrating Christmas this year. But I hope that maybe we might be able to have something for the upcoming New Year's.

This is the link to our PAYPAL 🎀 — and any amount you can spare is a great help to our family during this time. A reblog is also always appreciated!

Again, thank you very much for taking the time to read this. Happy holidays, everyone! ♡

⛑️Please help our family get through this calamity‼️

Hello, everyone! This is my second-ever post asking for mutual aid, but this is the first time we are genuinely in a state of panic.

Super Typhoon Uwan (International name Fung-wong) landed in the Philippines last November 9, lasting for almost two days, and my family and I are dealing with the effects it left behind. We were in the extremely high-risk warning areas during this time, with typhoon wind signals that reached almost 184km/h. The country itself is still recovering from the last typhoon, Tino/Kalmaegi, and has already declared a National State of Calamity. (DOST-PAGASA and National News)

Thankfully, our family is safe. But after the initial downpour, the winds left considerable damage to our home. It has torn apart the entire half of our house and dragged the roof down with it. Given our current financial situation, my family currently lacks the funds to fix anything AND buy emergency food/medicine while the city recovers; as well as no means of work while the powerlines are still being repaired. My family and I just really need to make sure we have enough funds to get through until we get back on our feet.

We would greatly appreciate any form of help! Even aid in spreading this post will mean the world. Thank you, and please stay safe out there!

Some platforms do not work for us in the Philippines, but I do have PAYPAL and KOFI! I also attached more images for proof below the cut. Again, thank you very much and stay safe! ♡

In need of urgent help for educational funds, medical care, and bills. Thank you for taking time to read!

Hi and hello! My friends finally convinced me to post after months of being knee-deep in debt and I hope people will make time to read through. I am posting as the first-born child of a lower class family from the Philippines, both for my parents and my two siblings in school. Any amount will help us greatly.

---

As of last year, our family has fallen really deep in financial problems to the point that food and other amenities sometimes become unaffordable for a week.

My father (53) had developed long term chronic pain from a failed stroke treatment during the pandemic and is now a registered PWD. My mother (44) is a self-employed seamstress with slowly declining eyesight which we could not afford to get checked. I have two siblings both in school, with a brother (13) in highschool and a sister (21) in Veterinary Medicine college. I myself (24) recently graduated with my bachelor's, and eventually pushed through to apply for master's studies in Biology, hoping to finally get a better job soon.

Unfortunately, in order to graduate as soon as I can, I had to quit my job as a university researcher working with the Department of Health. I am currently looking for a scholarship to cover my own costs, but their funding will not be available until later this year. This country also provides little to no financial aid to its poor and disabled, and will not even provide jobs below the minimum wage even for people with college degrees.

Without a steady source of income, the bills for my tuition, siblings' educational needs, parent's medicine, and general utilities (food, water, electricity, etc.) had piled up. My father took in loans to keep us afloat but we have no pay this month or the next.

In this month and August alone, we are short on about 30,520 Philippine Peso (roughly 540.04 USD). This covers loan payments so banks don't come after us, miscellaneous school fees for my siblings and I, and bills to keep a roof over our heads.

Hi, everyone! This is my post on my backup account. I've never done this before and would've preferred to find a solution on my own - but deadlines are slowly approaching and we're not getting any closer to the money we need. At this rate, my parents will only take our more loans to cover up other loans just to make sure we stay in school. I'm working on getting a scholarship and maybe a part-time job, tho it'll be nearly impossible as a full-time Master's student for a demanding course like ours.

A boost is greatly appreciated! And if you want to help, any amount means the world!

Thank you, everyone 🩷

He is risen

[rambles-on-dragon-age]

Kinda tired of sitting at my desk for 30mins to an hour, tops, before my body gives out on me.

I love my screen tablet, it was one of my biggest splurges that I researched for years to get. But it's too large to hold on my lap or move around comfortably and the arm goes down only so far and my chair goes up only so far and I'm left with my arm at weird high angles. Wasn't so bad before the dx, but now I get so tired so fast and everything hurts.

CFS & fibro & DDD kicking my ass on the daily is getting old fast.

I can't find my old tablet between the multiple moves from the fire, so I will need to scrounge up funds for a new cheapo tablet so I can draw while in bed;; thankfully I still have my old laptop to use.

I don't often get on here on my phone because I don't know how to shut up and typing on a phone is a pain AND the app is finicky as heck. So I'll probably gather up a bunch of pillows so I can sit up in bed and use my laptop to type and write/browse here again instead of fighting to be at my desk and just making myself more tired ;;;

[illia-ast]

Pulled from my bluesky.

Two from #catfeap and two from #lowfiartparty, all on different days.

I'm resigned to the fact that sitting at my desk with these conditions is untenable. Trying to get used to my tablet with some sketches is just wearing me out.

I love having the big screen tablet, but I cannot get into a comfortable position anymore for using it for more than an hour or so a day.

I put together a list of stuff to help me draw from bed on my laptop, starting with a new cheap little tablet if I can't find my old one. It'll be an adjustment again but I'd be much more comfortable and hopefully able to actually put out art and writing more.
