About

I'm not good at consistently tagging spoilers so I just don't. You have been warned!

I originally started this as a way to dip my toes into RP with my character Drenet Shaw, buuuuuuut I’m still trying to build up the confidence for that. So for now this is where I’ll post and reblog fanart, screenshots, and memes.

If you're an RP blog and I follow you it's bc I'm interested in your OC(s). But as stated above, I don't think I'm quite ready for RP yet... Soon, I hope! But not yet

You're always welcome in my inbox to yell about you WoL/OCs, favorite characters, or anything else XIV related!

I’m on Primal (Exodus).

Tag Guide:

#lookbook - glams I want to replicate at some point, or just really really like.

#flavor text - textposts/memes that remind me of Drenet

#drenet shaw - it me :D

that’s it for right now lmao

I love love love one-sided WoLxNPC ships. In a game where the platonic/romantic interpretation is up to the player I always find it so interesting when someone says, "Yeah this character is in love with my character, but they don't feel the same." I love the drama it adds! Why that character in particular? How does it affect their relationship?? Is it awkward? Did they come to some sort of silent understanding? Was there a confession and rejection somewhere along the way? How do the people around them feel? Is there a love triangle?? It's so JUICY.

But what really gets me is when the WoL is the one with unrequited feelings. Now THAT'S some good shit. You get all of the above plus more!! Why are they so into that particular character? Why doesn't the NPC feel the same way? Does your WoL get jealous or are they handling it well? Do they keep everything inside or are they forward about their feelings? Are they worried about it messing up their current dynamic?

It's such a fun thing to put your WoL through lol

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.

[mythandral]

they're doubling down too, by the way

For those who haven't seen the original exchange, here's the dogwater take from anon that kicked us off:

hApPy pRiDe 🏳️‍🌈😚 Here's to getting upset that other queers might imagine a fictional character with no established canon sexuality to be interested in more than just one gender.

Oh, and why not sprinkle some caaaaasual racism into it! Because fans "in Japan (and maybe other places idk)" might not recognize the same shitty gender-normative stereotypes as you. So true. We the Asians should def get a pass for homophobia because our cultures are just Like That™ or whatever the fuck.

Brother. Do you know any damn thing about queerness outside of North America? Yes, Japan (and maybe other places idk) has the same/similar cultural tells for queerness because (1) Western esp American media is a major influence on global culture, and (2) shitty gendernormative and sexist beliefs are worldwide and upheld to varying levels of severity.

Holy fuck. I know people of color don't exist in English dialogues about queerness except as window dressing, but please consider perspectives outside your own. Especially during a month that celebrates the diverse spectrum of queerness.

Anyway, here's the very questionable response NAC posted and is now crashing out over:

Even if they could relate to the anon's sentiments, their response is so fucking entitled and whiny. HEY, I'M THE VICTIM. I'M BEING OPPRESSED. WHAT DO YOU MEEEEAAAAN I'M BEING INSENSITIVE TO BI/PAN/OMNISEXUAL PEOPLE YOU'RE TAKING MY WORDS IN BAD FAITH.

Like, did you all know we can have very real conversations about gay erasure without throwing other people under the bus over personal player perceptions of a fictional character's sexuality? Mind blown.

Happy Pride. 🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️

everytime they cut back to Zenos, Fandaniel comes in saying WoL and friends brutally gored someone, Zenos gets giggly and blushy, there's a scene like this, and then we are back to the main story
