La Casa de Xio

Idle musings and random shitposts from a deranged viera who's been hit in the head way to many times because that's the only way to tank dammit. (FFXIV [Elemental-Tonberry] / Genshin / Zelda / Misc)

People told me to go touch grass but there’s no grass to be found. What do I do now?

[la-casa-de-xio]

The tiny viera have made the huge mistake in giving ya gal access to heavy machinery. Crazed laughter could be heard 'round the moon as I started running over moon plants.

[la-casa-de-xio]

So anyway, I was out and about when I ran into one of Y'shtola's sisters, who immediately asked if I wanted to explore a magical book and eat random things. As a viera who thinks with her stomach more often than not, I am 100% down to eat random things, so I said yes, even though I have a healthy fear of books.

But turns out I didn't have to read anything which was great, and I even got so smack a gigantic evil fish at the end so all in all a fun adventure and I even made a new food buddy.

Transcendence Trailer - "Sudden Snow" | Genshin Impact

Sleep well, sleep well, children of this world...

Fear neither the dark nor the deathly stillness,

For the divine has promised you unconditional love.

Awaken, awaken, O storm with neither root nor source!

If blessings are so generous, so selfless,

Then why has mercy never reached the winter?

[la-casa-de-xio]

Holy shit it's finally here. The tsaritsa looks amazing, and sure all us lore nerds were like "Yeah the Heavenly Principals killed her husband, that's why she's waging war" but fuck we never guessed she had a kid.

Hyped as fuck for the next version.

Everything is conspiring against me this month to ensure I have no money, I just had to have an MRI, my yearly kendo fees are now due, Sandrone is releasing in a week and it's the steam summer sale.

I pray for my bank balance.

"The Final Gift" Animated Short | Genshin Impact

Here lies

Alain Guillotin

Founding Director of the Research Institute of Kinetic Energy Engineering

White Cavalier of Protection

Lord-Artificer

May the waters protect his soul

May he be troubled by suffering no more

May the waters guide his soul

Safely across to the other shore

"Regrettably, there's nothing more to say."

Just discovered the new portrait mode in gpose and so had to give it a go. Glam secure, it's time to level Red Mage.

On a side note, I need to find more rings to use in glams, I've been sticking to the ring you get for clearing floor 100 of HoH for so long.

[la-casa-de-xio]

Viper leveled to maximum! And yes, I AM keeping the pink weapons they are fab as fuck.

Once I worked out what I was doing I quite liked the job, although it does get very busy in higher level content. While leveling I was constantly reminded why I don't like melee DPS when the bosses kept spinning like a top and I'd miss my positionals. My fellow tanks in Hydaelyn, you don't dance like your feet are on fire when there are no orange circles on the ground.

Anyway, time to finish the role quest then next up it's time to design a red glam because we all know Red Mages go faster and do more damage when wearing red.

[la-casa-de-xio]

Awww yeah just pump that stuff straight into my veins, this is the good shit right here. Also welcome back dress sphere system.

So if you've heard any maniacal cackling in my area of Australia that's because I have started my villain arc, as I am now directly stealing the magical electro juice STRAIGHT FROM THE SUN itself.

No longer am I reliant on the power company burning unclean things in order to boil water, I am now creating clean, artisanal electro juice on my very own rooftop.

The electricity wizard, speaking to me in Australian Tradie Cant (dude sounded like he walked off a Garn video...) assures me that the sun electro juice storage box can hold lots of sun juice so even when the Sun fucks off for a nap I can still use all the devices which drink the electro juice without fear.

This pleases the Xio, this pleases the Xio a lot.

Happy Birthday, Fischl!

"The violet radiance upon your chest has not escaped the gaze of my Auge der Verurteilung. Such is the thread fate has spun for you...

In the name of the Prinzessin der Verurteilung, you are hereby invited to Immernachtreich to spend this fate-ordained day by my side."

"What Mein Fräulein means to say is, your bow tie is lovely, and she would like you to spend her birthday with her."

"Meow."

"The Prince says it would be his honor."

[la-casa-de-xio]

Turns out strangers do hand out soul crystals and now I'm a Viper. Dunno what I'm doing except pressing buttons and spinning two swords around really quickly.

I think I'm getting dizzy tho.....

[la-casa-de-xio]

So I popped on over the to the first shard because Titania needs my help with stuff, and also because I am an absolute sucker for positive reinforcement. The feelings I get from being called stuff like "The best sapling" is pretty much what I imagine drugs are like.

It's just a shame that I can't do much because queues are dead on my DC. Can't wait for the DC changes so I have a bigger pool of people to draw on.

Through Form Is Truth Revealed

"This world is beautiful, more beautiful than you or I can imagine. So go. Do what you want to do, and seek out your own desires, my child. Just remember, your life belongs to you."

— Alain Guillotin's last words

"You would always say nasty things and act indifferent... But I've always known you to be brave, kind, and strong... You will always be my best friend."

— Columbina, bidding farewell to Sandrone's remains

"Today, we gather here with heavy hearts to mourn our friend...

"...Though the world took so much from her throughout her life, she chose to save it nevertheless. And even though she gave so much to those she called her friends, we have no choice but to bid farewell to her in this way...

"May she rest in peace in her homeland, where she shall lie reunited with those she had loved and lost...

"May we meet again one day, in another land, at her tea party."

[la-casa-de-xio]

Columbina is moping about my teapot waiting for her wife. Just gotta wait a few more weeks.

Everyone else: Description of how their Hexerei skill works

Fischl: I am the bone of my sword. Chuuni is my body and darkness is my blood...

[la-casa-de-xio]

This Viera got a steam train, they fucking love trains. Choo Choo.

[la-casa-de-xio]

Holy shit Mihoyo fucking cooked with the latest AQ. Like god damn that was amazing, and as someone who does every world quest, story quest and event it was great to see so many things intersecting and resolving.
