About the Blog

-This is an 18+ only blog. No exceptions. Minors will be softblocked, come back when you're older.

-Empty blogs with default icons will be reported as spam and blocked. No exceptions. I will not check your likes or your following, if you look like a bot you will be treated as a bot.

-This is my main account and is multifandom! Currently the main interests are FFXIV and Critical Role, with Borderlands and Fallout mixed in. I try to tag alternate fandoms but am inconsistent. You get what you get.

-This is not a follow4follow blog. I have not done and never will do follow4follow as it is the antithesis of curating your space. Nothing personal, but please don't expect a follow back.

-This is not a Rules As Written blog! While I enjoy using as much canon detail as possible in my storytelling, I am not beholden to it, and will bend or break it to suit my tastes. If you're someone who will treat written canon as gospel with no room for interpretation, or someone who looks down on people having headcanons that differ from established lore, you are not welcome here.

-I do try to keep FFXIV spoilers to a minimum, but it is not a guarantee. I will tag expansions pretty regularly, and will tag spoilers as "[expansion/patch] spoilers". There is no 2 week embargo bullshit here, it's extremely rude to both new players and to people who don't have the time or energy to blast through a new expansion in only 14 days.

-WCIF friendly! I don't currently have any custom/private mods aside from scaling, so if you see something in a gpose of mine you like you're welcome to ask.

About the Blorbo

Name: Kitali Moonblade

Pronouns: She/Her/Hers

Main Job: DRG/NIN hybrid

Age: Mid 30s

Kitali is the daughter of two mercenaries, part of the Xaela diaspora who left the Azim Steppe before the tunnel to Yanxia was sealed off. She has no memory of living on the Steppe and instead grew up in Doma, and considers herself Doman. She lived in Othard for almost two decades before splitting off on her own, eventually finding herself in Aldenard by way of Gyr Abania.

In a word, Kitali Moonblade is unsettling. At first glance, she’s stoic and standoffish and spends more time observing than participating in a conversation. Even people who’ve known her for years are still surprised by her. She doesn’t make friends very easily but once she’s decided she likes someone, they’re stuck with her. Her trust is hard to win and easy to lose.

-"Can I say hi if I see you in game?" Absolutely! I just ask that you a) not be a creep, and b) that you actually SAY something, don't just toss a bunch of emotes at me or immediately open gpose right next to me, that makes me really uncomfortable.

-"Can I draw your OC?" I would prefer to be asked first but yes!

-"Can I ship my OC with yours?" No.

-"Can I write fic of your OCs?" No.

-"Can I draw my OC with yours?" Friends can ask. Otherwise no.

-"Can I make 18+ creations of your OCs?" Absolutely not. Hard boundary on this one. If I want 18+ stuff I will either make it myself or commission someone else.

Timoria (she/her)

Timoria is Kitali's Ancient. Before taking the 14th Seat, she worked as an anthropologist with a focus on how new and existing creations affected their biomes, including other civilisations outside of Amaurot. She worked very closely with the concept creators of Elpis and her feedback on how creations behaved outside of the confines of the facility was essential. While not one to make concepts herself, she's collaborated with Hythlodaeus and Hermes on occasion.

Her tag is #Timoria

Vaisha Soveniss (they/he)

Vaisha Soveniss is an herbalist and occultist living in the Southern Shroud. They're one of the more radical members of the Redbelly Wasps and are loudly prejudiced against Gridanians, doubly so as an unrecognised Hearer. Their aetheric balance is slightly tipped towards fire, making them a natural thaumaturge, which sets them at odds against the conjurers and elementals of the Black Shroud. They eventually leave the Shroud entirely to learn at the Thaumaturge's Guild in Ul'dah and become a black mage.

Their tag is #Vaisha Soveniss

[100493503004422]

refusal to participate due to self consciousness is actually more embarrassing than participating. it took me a very long time to figure that out. abject fear of embarrassment is actually causing you to do things that are more embarrassing than what you fear. you are gonna be embarrassed anyway. let go and be free

[ghsot]

everyones got that fic they chip away at like michaelangelo sculpting david. and brother? its penis month

[ghsot]

asked my friends if they knew what i was referencing and they said no. we all know that post where someone divided how long it took michelangelo to sculpt david by it's size and went "yuuuuup. whole month spent on penis" right. sure, my search history is full variations upon "michelangelo penis month tumblr" to no avail, but we all know it. right.

[itriedonce]

Hi, that was a MBMBAM bit. But i see you and i hear you and i dont know if someone already said something

[ghsot]

oh my god youre right.

[transformativeworks]

[ID: Screenshot of a transcript.

Travis: Yeah. It well--but it's seventeen feet tall divided by twenty-four months means that every month he crafted point seven--so like about three-quarters of a foot. Right? So, nine inches. So yes, I could say that just statistically speaking, there was a wiener month.

Griffin: Okay. "So how was your September, Michelangelo?" "It was, it was intense."

hello!! I'm nonbinary and demisexual. I dabble in a lot of artistic endeavors, but lately I've really gotten into 3D animation and modding through Blender. You'll commonly see Vira and Burakh here, under the tag #lionhearts ! Here's some recent art I've made of them:

I haven't written in a while, but the lionhearts do have an FFXIVWrite series from 2024!

It would mean a lot to me this year's Pride, to see acknowledgement and celebration for queers of color of every stripe. Often it feels like BIPOC are an afterthought in Pride celebrations, not only left unacknowledged, but further marginalized by the intersection of their identities. And yet the weight of queer history roars with the resistance of people like Marsha P. Johnson and Silvia Rivera who did not stop fighting for liberation until they passed. The uprising at Stonewall itself is a culmination of years of queer activism.

When it comes to conversations about queer suppression, especially as shown by the attitude inspiring this post, we often see takes that certain people inherently don't "understand" gay coding or any number of nods to queer identity, simply due to the circumstances of our birth. I'd like to bring attention to the fact that many people in the world are still unable to openly call themselves queer of any kind of identity, without being severely punished by their own governments. At the same time, BIPOC in the USA especially Black and Indigenous people, regardless of their queer status, are policed and killed every day for the most frivolous reasons; and queerness amplifies the danger they face on the daily, especially if they are perceived as being gender-nonconforming. I'd like us all to remember what we think of as 'normal' now, like posting about queerness and being queer online, is an incredible, incredible privilege that people lived, fought, and died for. Our elders died dreaming that we, the future generations, have a chance to breathe and love together.

Stereotyping a whole kind of people, or blanketing a nation's attitude onto the people who live there, feels extremely antithetical to the history of the term 'queer' as a community and as a movement of liberation. Personally speaking, I was practically raised by a butch while we were both navigating the complexities and danger of being queer, in a country whose textbooks promote civilians to punish homosexuality by stoning gays or putting lesbians into house arrest, whose laws criminalize private citizens' sex lives. I saw firsthand the discrimination she could not shake for the entirety of her work, how she had to bring her own friends as advocates for her because her coworkers and administration disliked her, the way our organization suffered due to the perception of her as a corrupting influence on the band kids she trained. She shepherded us through the most successful years of marching band our school had ever seen, and her reward was to be kicked out of the school the moment my class graduated. Luckily, no worse outcome happened that I know of, but we all saw it happen. She had no partner that I knew of, and she never spoke of her orientation publicly, but that she was so gender-nonconforming as a butch was enough to mark her for life.

Instead of performing that violence of erasure, let's uplift and truly see each other, and continue the hard work of our forebears where we can. We must, we must strive to give the next generation (and our peers right now) a better life.

Reblogging to amplify both prevs, but I'd also like to invite everyone to reflect on the shitshow witnessed yesterday by our little corner of the XIV fandom.

I don't care if that artist sent themselves the anon ask. I don't care who anon actually is. What I want to highlight is just how prevalent their bigoted way of thinking actually is in queer spaces, particularly when it comes to White queers.

The truth, whether we accept it or not, is that White queers — especially but not just cis gay men — still benefit from their Whiteness. And rather than using this position of privilege to uplift Black queers and other queers of color, so many are instead content to maintain the misogynistic lily-white status quo. (You bet your ass White women do this too.)

The wrongful assumption that existing within a marginalized group like the queer community exempts them from being discriminatory. False. Racism can and does manifest in the alphabet community, as can any other -ism.

These are the same people who, when faced with very real criticisms, invoke their queerness like a multipass that absolves them of their own prejudices and bigotry. How can I be racist? I'm gay.

Black and other people of color who exert any sort of pushback may be accused of engaging in the oppression olympics or playing the race card, as if being marginalized were a fucking contest. Hey, losers, you don't get a gold medal for being the most oppressed and attacked minority on the internet.

Queerness should never be a shield against criticism or an excuse to skip past any introspection over the privilege of Whiteness. Queerness is simply who we are, not a get-out-of-jail "gotcha" pass.

Make sure you don't accidentally punish people for communicating their needs and boundaries. When someone cares enough to have the uncomfortable conversation, that's a compliment and a clear sign that they are invested in the relationship. Yes of course it's uncomfortable to hear that something you've been doing has been upsetting someone you care about when that was never your intention, but people generally only bother to have these conversations with the people they want to keep around - the people they trust to care. If they just didn't like you, they'd probably just try to avoid you. So make sure you don't make it into a more punishing experience than it has to be. Try to see the care and the trust behind the criticism, even when it triggers uncomfortable emotions. It's a good sign that they're there telling you.

have you ever seen the spirit of interest visibly leave someone's body because it happened to me with a stranger on the trail the other day

the problem with personality tests and other similar quizzes is that they assume you know things about yourself. Which is simply not true
