[jqupohtia]

Character Profile: J’qupoh Tia

Name: J’qupoh Tia

Alias/Nicknames: Jacques Clouseau (temporary alias) / Poh

Race: Miqo’te - Seeker of the Sun

Age: 29 at beginning of ARR / ~33/34 if we ignore the time bubble (1 year for ARR/ 1 year for Heavensward / 1 year for Stormblood/ a few months on the Source for Shadowbringers (but closer to a year on the First) 1 year between post ShB and Dawntrail)

Height: 6′3″ unless his sister is around, then he's magically going to gain an inch (quite literally thanks to glamors) because his baby sister is not allowed to be taller than him. He does not care that he's already ridiculously tall for a Miqo'te, he must be Taller.

Gender: Male

Orientation: Grey-Ace/Demi (?), Panromantic

Birthday: 9th sun of the 4th astral moon

Relationship status: Trapped in mutual pining hell with G’raha In deep uwus with G’raha Tia / (Co-WoL AU) partners with G'raha Tia and a small lizard girl (@/cibbyfxiv's wol Cybelle Dormin)

From: Technically Sharlayan/Idyllshire. Was born in Doma while his mother was travelling for work for Saint Mocianne's Arboretum and raised on the road for most of his life. Only lived a few years at the colony, and by the time he returned again in his 20s, it was abandoned and being scoped out by adventurers and goblins as a potential settlement. While he never had any official position, he was around for the establishment of Idyllshire and put in a lot of work to help build the settlement up. His talents lie in conjury, weaving, botany, and illusions, using glamours for anything and everything.

Likes: Treasure hunting, weaving, sweets, mint, traveling, naps 

Dislikes: Wastefulness, cold/frozen foods, seeing books not being taken care of, the Forum, Sharlayan wastefulness and lack of care for the environment if it’s not their home anymore, being forced to sit still

Story and other assorted ramblings under the cut. May include spoilers for Endwalker as I add to it.

Update: editing a single tumblr post is kind of a pain with how much i have so congrats! I'm just going to link the 35+ page ever expanding google doc. Very much a work in progress. Spoilers abound, but outside of the sections marked by relevant patch they're marked.

Current layout is not very mobile friendly, I am working on it u_u

If ANY of yall EVER do this shit to me, im deleting every single fic out of spite.

If I ever catch one of yall doing this to another author and I know youre a follower of my work I will block you personally on every platform

None of yall are the fic police. I DESPISE genai. I think its an insult to art, humanity, and the planet itself. But aint not a single fucking person here qualified to pick apart a strangers fic looking for a gotcha moment to make yourselves feel superior. If you think something is ai you can ask the author (most are proud of the ai use and will just tell you straight up) if they say yes you have your answer and can warn people. If they say no and you dont believe them you block and quietly keep it between you and maybe a close group of friends. Spreading misinformation is DANGEROUS. And NONE of you doing this shit are anywhere near qualified to do it.

THIS GOES DOUBLY FOR ARTISTS.

[hodari-pavels-good-boy]

Posting this here from my main too bc I feel that strongly about it

You dont get to witch hunt and scour peoples work just frothing at the mouth hoping someone messes up so you can publicly humiliate and gang up on them. Fuck genai and every single poser and lover that uses it but if you are not 1000000000% certain that something is made with it you shut. the. fuck. up.

Pathetic loser behavior on display here

[mintedwitcher]

I'm about to get mean because this shit? this pisses me all the way off.

"hurr durr these very common writing practices are SUPER OBVIOUS AI TELLS!!!!!!!!!! obviously this is an AI invention and not the result of AI being trained on THOUSANDS OF REAL FUCKING STORIES!!!!!!! we're all very intelligent!!!!!!!"

I hate yall. I hate yall for fucking ruining fanfic with your goddamn motherfucking AI obsession. "ooh there's em dashes!" YEAH REAL WRITERS USE THOSE. "there's long paragraphs!" YEAH BECAUSE THATS HOW PEOPLE WRITE STORIES.

we're not "writing like AI" - AI is writing like us, because it fucking stole from us in the first fucking place.

I've never used AI in my work, not ever, but guess what, my fics are ALL written like that. long paragraphs, long sentences, em dashes and hyphens and other grammatical tools, because I fucking know HOW TO WRITE.

quite frankly, if you think these things are "genAI inventions" you're just telling the world that YOU DON'T READ ENOUGH.

[thatdisasterauthor]

And you don't put spaces around em dashes???

[thebibliosphere]

Right???? Like, tell me you don't read books or know English grammar rules without telling me you don't read books or know English grammar rules and are trying to use it as a gotcha for people who do know what they're doing.

Fuck outta here.

(Also, yes, you'll see spaces around em dashes in journalism, but for fiction and academia, it is the expected norm to not have spaces. Some people add spaces out of personal preference, but the expected norm in fiction is no spaces.

Now, if you're using an en dash, those should have spaces, but em dashes and en dashes are not the same thing!)

[voidvelociraptor]

So, my family all play the critically acclaimed mmorpg Final Fantasy XIV with free trial up to Stormblood and level 70 with no restrictions! And the dungeons in DT gave my sister seizures and we haven't been able to play since. She's still recovering. In the meantime, I have acquired Easy Eyes and I've been hammering away at the dungeons and trials of DawnTrail to make this shit actually safer for her to play. And obviously I'm finna share that hard work with all the migraineurs and epileptics that want to get through the game.

My plan is to work backwards (I started on the EW dungeons today) and get all the dungeons and trials safer. The norm and alliance raids are gonna take A While, mostly because I have to run them with people instead of the trust and there's so many more effects to sort through.

In the meantime, if you didn't know, EasyEyes is a plugin for Dalamud (ie it's a mod). You can import presets into it to block all the vfx in the preset without having to run the duty and manually block everything yourself. That's obviously not safe, hence me doing it. You can find it on xma (Safer DT Dungeons and Trials). It's a zip folder with each dungeon and trial labelled as individual presets. You just have to hit import and pick them, super easy.

Please be aware that it's super difficult to turn off vfx in the background, and I left a lot of small vfx untouched for aesthetic, but I very much took out everything glaringly obvious, or that my sister explicitly complained about, and more. Some of the vfx turned off are going to make it harder for you to position yourself to avoid attacks, so please keep that in mind, but safety trumps a healer's feelings!

I'll post each expac as I finish them and I sincerely hope more people are able to get back into the game because of my work.

Heads up, UK friends.

Discord has implemented the age verification requirement system per the upcoming law going into affect later this week early, so prepare yourself for other sites, which may include Tumblr given the intent is to target adult content which may affect here because of how it still does get posted here, even if the intended targets are the actual site for it.

As of writing, the official petition to have the Online Safety Act repealed is close to 30,000 signatures, but it's barely enough to garner much attention to where it may be dismissed by Parliament, or may get discussed but not getting to where it'll be repealed to actually figure a system that doesn't carry the risk of private information getting leaked.

So again, please help spread and sign the official petition here.

[anotherlongstoryshort]

Do you want to scan your face or provide photo ID for every online platform you use? No? Then sign the petition.

As of writing, it is close to 55,000 signatures.

At 100,000 signatures, this petition will be considered for debate in Parliament. Keep building pressure.

The focus of online safety should be on public education, regulation of AI, and responsible, platform-driven content moderation.

Not censorship, and not putting user data at risk.

I truly don't get why the common stereotype of tank/healer MMO couples is surly toughguy tank and anxious people-pleaser healer because every time I queue in as a healer I can feel myself physically turning into the devil

[osterby]

The actual healer archeytpes are Bones McCoy, underpaid pre-school teacher, and sadistic dom.

The actual tank archetypes are meathead himbo, parent trying to drive the car while the kids fight in the back, and masochistic sub

[capriccio-ffxiv]

You'd think that DRK would be the masochistic sub and sometimes they are, but I personally find DRK to be the long suffering dad (gender neutral) who pulls up to the drive thru, orders a single black coffee, and leaves.

GNB just has Don't Stop Me Now by Queen playing in their head at all times.

[valkatra]

#have also seen many healers who are like middle aged white women 10m late to work honking their manicured hands on the car horn#maam this is qarn normal and the tank is new we Are going at the speed limit

Please participate in my research (also, if you say other, please put it in the tags/comments !)

[moniquill]

Geocities, bitches.

[skyhon]

WHAT I am shocked that AO3 isn't higher what the hell??

[moniquill]

AO3 was founded in 2008.

It did not yet exist when many people first started reading fanfic.

I, for example, started reading fanfic online in the year 1996.

[reasonablywittyatbest]

Yep, 2002-ish but as i was thinking about it I'm not 100% sure it was fanfiction.net it actually may have been Geocities, I do remember it was Yu Yu Hakusho fanfic

[hxneyfarm]

Happy pride month specifically to folks on the asexual and aromantic spectrum who oftentimes feel isolated and left out of the conversation. You belong here as much as the rest of us and I hope that you are all loved in a way that is comforting to you.

"mmh did you know that creator you like also posts 🔞 content? did you know that? don't you think that's weird? don't you think we should keep this space-"

i booked a front row seat to the devil's sacrament and you're blocking the view

just go back to the 1660 new england hole you just crawled out of and eat barley for a week to atone for your sins or whatever

[marithlizard]

" "I booked a front row seat to the devil's sacrament and you're blocking the view" is one banger of a thematic statement. Shirt material.
