๐ My long over-due, and potentially FINAL mixed diary poast here๐
In which lies the current patch, the BTS Concert, and the conclusion of my Bookmaking class! Onward then, let's go, let's GO ๐ซ!!
I think this time I'll go from newest, to oldest๐ฟ!
NEWEST new, I'm really enjoying the new patch with my friends. Well not right now, right now I'm writing this which isn't nearly as fun-but I AM WATCHING my friends enjoy the game, I'm Kefka leering as my Frontlines friends kill something other than other players for once. This is them, arent they the cutest ๐ฆ??
๐ฃ All that's missing is Draepr, who's waiting on me to come help him with something
-I'll make this quick I swear!!
In really EXCITING XIV news, TEN count it TEN๐ฅ new people are joining my fc!! We've never had such an influx!! They're all long time old friends who were just on other servers, that's all. We want to be able to do 8.0 together, so this is the best time to secure those spots to ensure we can do so!! Ah wait, can we back up a little though..it's not MYYY fc๐ฆ, I'm just the gluttonous lazy mascot who is constantly caught sneaking company funds for cute outfits. JUST so we're clearrr ok moving right along then๐จ
๐ชI WENT TO THE BTS ARIRANG WORLD TOUR CONCERTTTT๐ช
๐ค I was at the Stanford Day 3 (Tuesday) show! ๐ง
Afterward, I immediately started planning how to attend another one ๐ซ
Listen..it's an AMAZZZING SHOW. And I have been to about 30 concerts in my life. Rock, dance, rap, orchestra, pop-I've been to it ALL and I can say without a doubt..that BTS concert was the best I'd ever been to in my life. The lights, the FIRE, the fireWORKS, the VOCALS, the looks, the experience with other FANS everything about it was just insane ๐ช I can't believe I was lucky enough to get tickets again!! Onto more shots ๐ธ
๐๐ MY HUSBAND AND MY WIIIIIIIIIIIIIFE ๐๐
๐จ NAMJOON..Namjoon namjoon namjoonโค๏ธ...oh..be still my beating heart..
He was so so handsome. Truly gods gift to this undeserving world. THAT'S A MAN!!!!!!!! And ๐ฅ Jimin...Jimin jimin jimin ๐...my beautiful wife...FOR HER, I'D GO TO WAR!! I was screaming, and dancing, and hootin, and hollerin alongside total strangers-the guy in front of me was SOOO LOUUD I really appreciated it, because I can't scream that loud, but he could, and he was bringing EXACTLY the kind of energy we needed. Thank you, anonymous Suga fan in front of me who was recording the concert on his nintendoDS whatever the heck that was ๐ข๐
โก๏ธHONESTLY If you can afford to go, 1000% recommend to go for it ๐ต
There are other artists I'm thinking to see too, but if I can, I'll see BTS again this year too. Maybe not, but maybe so. I'm glad I got the opportunity to see them at least once though. -and I finally got that damn Armybomb light stick!!! OOO I was going NUTS trying to get that!!
๐งญ That was that ๐!
Ah, the traffic leaving took a solid hour to get out of the parking lot alone...it's a crazy amount that attend, really. What was it, 50,000+? I miss all those Armies. They were so so so nice. Well, I'll be seeing them again pretty soon anyway! Here was everything I got;
๐งฅTHE SWEATER IS SO COMFFYY๐ชด
I scoffed at the $150 price tag ๐ but OOO I havent taken it OFF since I got it-well clearly I have, but its my #1 choice for when I go out now. So soft, so cozy, so stylish, just everything!! All the freebies were SO SO SO cute too!! Alright, so the whole world is wondering..are you finally free from that bookmaking class?? ๐Of course I am! ๐ At last, it ended. I made a xiv/life themed junk journal, and other classsmates made other cute sentimental stuff too!
๐ชป Mine is the first one! ๐
๐ I did a Coptic Binding book as my final!
TERRIBLE DECISION ๐๐ฝ๐ฅ DO NOT DO THAT EVER anyways so I think it came out very cute despite being a total mess. The one under was a classmates who is Army too!! She went to Stanford dates the weekend just before I did. Her book was INSANELY cute, filled with some of her favorite BTS songs and lyrics ๐งธ I was so glad to see HOME in it because HOME is one of my favorite BTS songs too!!
๐ฉ Another classmate made a book out of steel because she's a welder, and another classmate loves nature and stuff๐ฆ, so he made his out of clothes and hide and made it so it hung from his outfit, and was full of nature survival tips. The girl next to me did a Fairies book, and the other girl did a Football chart folding book. It was so many good ideas. Even though that class was insanely hard, at the end I was sad to leave it. It's always sad when memories end, to me. Well, new ones coming soon!
๐ฐ The final things for me to share...New girly favs, and new blog..!? ๐ฆ
๐งผ๐งดHere are some of my current new favs๐!!
I think the packaging on the dolly collection is SOOOOOSOSO CUUUTE!! Additionally, I was so weary about trying Skala because some people said it was eh, but actually it makes my hair curl very very GOOD!! I want to try a few of the other versions later this summer โ๏ธ Aahh, Iโm very much looking forward to laying around in face masks for the next few weeks๐ซง๐ธ
๐ชท ALRIGHT so โจ
There are a lot of times that I just want to share something personal. Thoughts, feelings, songs, moods. But that doesn't always feel right here ๐ค so I decided to do a spinoff blog that's mainly just me thinking ๐ญ Sometimes crosspoasting from here too, but I think that more real life oriented blogpoasts will likely just be moved over there entirely from here on out. JUST to keep this one more creative, while the other can be more direct and also a bit spammy๐ OK? SO that then, is over here! Not for any particular audience, it's mainly just for ME ๐๐ฝ but if you like ramblings, then there you go too ๐
Thank you sooo much for making it ALL the way to the bottom, I know this was very long. but I've been very busy!! I hope everyone also been doing very well, and I'll see you all in Frontlines๐ฆ!
๐ซง The LONG AWAITED (it was only a few hours ago..) PART TWO ๐โโ๏ธ!!
In which, you see what has kept me from Gposing next ๐ !
(Those things I mentioned earlier, remember that??)
AND SO I went to a Beekeeping workshop thing ๐
Did I want to be there? No. Was it really hot outside? Yes!
So those were two really really great circumstances that joined hands at once.
Mmm sooo the gist was something like...bees are really sensitive-cant relate. Uhmm aaand queens are very important-CAN relate. Mmnn and thennn...ah, it was really so hot out โ๏ธ๐ฆ I was wearing overalls too. Alright, focusing. Bees are of great importance to the environment, and queens are chosen very carefully. They're also marked very carefully too. You have to wear lots of gear, and everyone gets stung the hell out of. Well. Anything exciting will always sting you every now and then, won't it? That's the funnest part. Don't believe me? Let me show you-ah right, the rest of this post.
SO. Those white crates up there are FULL of bees ๐ฏ
๐ซ They were just buzzing all over in there. Likely was a queen in there as well. You order them off the internet, and they're delivered just like that! Then, in the right picture there of course, is one of the honeycombs. Something about sugar water..VERY critical crucial information, I just can't recall it right now as it's quite late, but the moral of THIS story is. Isn't danger a little fun? Where are your eyes going..
๐ฟ Back to my own personal hell, here we have more bookmaking๐ !
I didn't finish that one yet and it's been 3 weeks, so I hate that for me, but the one underneath it was a box book๐ฆ! I finished that at least! It took a few hours and honestly, was kind of the funnest thing we did so far. I takes a few pieces of hard cardboard, book cloth, decorative paper, and some good oll PVA glue.
๐นRosey, isnt it?? ๐
I bent the teachers rules a bit-but I had to!! For the sake of creativity..๐ฉป
๐ Moving right along then, I went to some garage sales๐๐!
I love these because its a great way to get neat old stuff, and also I love a good bargain on bumming around the house clothes. I didnt picture them, but I got a big ol haul of oversized shirts and sweats that were as good as new from the house down the street from mine-all for $1 each๐ธ!!! Now they will see me at the local mart in them-isnt life fun?! Communities are great, remember to get involved with your local one, ok anyway so
One lady left out a box of stuff for free ๐งบ๐
So I took the paper photo cutter thing, the neck rest, and the teddy bear๐งธ !
The old Disney movies, tin can, and Mayor from NBC were from a house on the other block. 25cents each!! SOO good!! I don't know why, but I like collecting old VHS's now.
๐Now, you may be wondering (you weren't), well, what will I get myself into next..?
..
...
....
๐ชฉI'll be going to see BTS next!!!! ๐คธ๐ฝโโ๏ธ๐๐ฝ๐๐ฝ๐๐ฝ๐คธ๐ฝโโ๏ธ
In a 2 weeks actually. YEAHHOOOO!! ๐๐๐๐
Same as FanFest, I entered the little lottery thing. and sure enough, I won tickets to this too! ๐ช Crazy miracle, because I had gotten tickets to the 2020 tour which of course..didn't end up happening๐ฆ I never thought I could get into Arirang, but here I am ๐ซฐ๐ฝ!! I've already got my outfit picked out and everything!! There's so many songs I hope to hear, but anything at all from them will be amazing. Who's my bias..? ๐จ Namjoon of course!!! Aahh..what a time to be alive..well!! That's all for now!!
๐บ I have lots of plans for Aeras content (like always) ๐ฟ
When the semester ends, I'll have more time for that. For now though, its back into the study cage for me. Thanks for reading! ๐ซง
It's time for a full out Diary poast ๐ Part ONE๐!
๐งธ In which I share my adventures at FanFest 2026, Beekeeping, Bookmaking, & Community events! HERE we go
AND SO I went to FanFest ๐งณ๐
-Along with about 20/30 other friends + FC members โฅ๏ธ!!
My original plan was to attend in EU, because there was no way in hell I was going to Vegas, HOWEVER this year it wound up being in Anaheim!
Everyone in our group joined the online raffle๐ช
Naturally, only half of us won (me being one of them!!). So, those that won simply shared their winning tickets with one who hadn't, and that's how we all got in ๐ซ
We all either piled into the same room, or bought rooms in the same building, so that was super fun and comfy running along the halls to each other! Anyway ah right, I'm getting ahead of myself here. So the journey itself ๐ฟ
For transportation, my friends all flew in, but I took the Amtrak๐!
๐ I'd never been on a train before and always seethed in jealousy as I sat in traffic, and a train breezed by! SO I decided this would be the perfect time to try it out. I had absolutely no idea what I was doing. Luckily, every step along the way, someone helped me out! Strangers are very kind when you're visibly lost and scared for your life๐ฆ
๐ซ The trip time in total was about 12 hours or so. If you asked me though, I'd say it was a blink-because I slept the entire ride both there and back home. There were transfer points though! 1 hour train, few hours on huuge cushy bus, then rest of hours on final train. I rate the experience a full 10 out of 10. It was really pretty to watch everything go by, and there was plenty of space, and everyone was so nice and some were also coming/going to/from FanFest. Everyone else was curled up sleeping just like me ๐ฆฆ !! Alright, onto arrival!
Arrival was the best night in my whole entire life ๐๐ฝ๐๐ฝ๐๐ฝ!!!
I love my friends so so so much-we actually had a blast.
-After I found them anyway, GOOD LORD!!! โ๏ธ The amount of work it took to even FIND everyone was NUTS!! I had to keep telling people where I was, and it felt like trying to find party members during a rank hunt or something!!
Anyway though, Day 1 was straight to BUISNESS๐!!
We went to the KeyNote/LiveLetter and it was soo LOUD!! Everyone was so excited and cheering-and so were we. Also, some people sitting around us were funny or also crazy to hear as well. I will not repeat the things here, but WHAT A TIME that was. Seating was very good! Kind of difficult if you're short like me though ๐. but if I sat up as high as I could, I could see Yoshida and crew just fine! It was wild to be honest. There he was!!! In person, shiny rings and all!! He walked by my friends too, and Keiko almost bumped into us once as well. INSANE ๐ฉป
The cosplay was SOOO GOOD!! ๐ป๐นAs was the piano show!!!๐ผ๐ค
Everyone did such great jobs and came up with such creative ideas for costumes. Made me really want to come up with something even cuter next time around๐ก!! The performances and gameshows and everything was sooo fun. I think the main downside was just that..there wasnt enough time. You couldnt really do them all. A lot of stuff, the line was so long, they would close it! I wish FanFest would be more days over that..plus, I want to see my friends for even longer...forever if I could ๐งธ!!
๐ At the end of day 2, we all know what everyone was juiced for the most...THE PRIMALS๐บ๐ค!!
It was SOOOO GOOOOOD. OMGGG-I had never gone to concert of THIS type before, so I matched the moves of my friend in terms of cheering patterns with the light stick! I didnt have a FFXIV lightstick, so I brought a Kpop one instead LMAO but I borrowed the FFXIV one for the picture-it came out good, right??
๐๐I cant even say how much fun it was๐๐ฉท
It was so fun, in truth it made me sad. I remember looking around thinking, "this is end of it, huh. after this, we all leave for the last time. and then we'll go our separate ways". My heart was in my stomach a little. I didnt want it to end. I was mourning a memory while it was still occurring. I'm a little sentimental like that sometimes. I talked to my FC member about it too and everything-oh I was going THROUGH IT ๐ญ!! I went through it even worse on the way home tbh, I actually cried on the train home (some friends cried on the plane home too, so it wasnt just me ok!!) But it's alright, because I know we'll all see each other again ๐ซถ๐ฝ!! I think if you want to go to FanFest, do everything in your power to go. Do whatever it takes!! It's a time that will touch your heart, likely for the rest of your life.
After The Primals, we went to go eat ๐๐ง๐!
We all got our Jollibee's codes, and ate really really good, and then went to get some beers at a corner mart, and drank the rest of the night away ๐ป bonding and reflecting about our places in life. I WANTED TO STAY FOREVERR but alas...I already paid $100 for a ticket home-AND SO I BOARDED THE TRAIN HOME well after almost missing it because I didnt know how to use uber, and then the uber driver was aggressively hitting on me the entire drive there, going as slow as possible to keep in the car๐ง-AND SO I FINALLY MADE IT TO THE TRAIN STATION!!
In a cunty cheetah print outfit, to sleep in style in Coach. Honestly? Coach and Business had 0 difference. So if you try to take it, both are just fine. I guess Coach was just more peaceful though, less people ๐
Well, back home again ๐ด!
I went to a community science/machinery event where I made cute little dogtag thingies for my character using an XTool machine. I attached the black one to my FanFest goodiebag purse murse ๐!
There's even more to say, but I ran out of space for this post, so onto the next one then!! See you there! ๐
BACK AGAIN with another FFXIV + Real Life, Diary entry! โ๏ธ
๐ฟ As I near the end of my very first college degree ๐ I find myself with just a smalll amount of free time, and so that's where all these new ideas and poasts are flowing from!! That also means that I actually get to play the game a bit too, and see my cute friends a lot too, and so this is from when one friend won a new Medium!
Well not like the day, in fact it was several days later I believe-but I GOT there when I COULD and THAT'S all that counts๐!!
๐ธหห๐ขึดเป๐ทอึโง๐ฉทหThere was also the Little Ladies Day event!๐ธหห๐ขึดเป๐ทอึโง๐ฉทห
I thought it was super duper cute! The FATE was also a neat idea! Kinda made me a bit lazy to get extras of things like the trees and decor though. But I got quite a bit still anyway!! Maybe 5 trees, 2 poasters, and the a few of the little picture stands. Naturally naturally of course of course, I also got all the ๐glowsticks + the big shirt with the cute guy on it.
In my real life!!!; ๐ This semester I decided that I would like to suffer in a new way that I hadn't thought of before, and so I enthusiastically enrolled in a book making class ๐!! I regret it three days a week, alongside a Chemistry major beside me, who told me that out of every class they've had so far, this one is the hardest one of all๐ฆ! Here is my progress so far โ
I'm never going to do anything like this ever again, do not take such a class if you value even one smidge of your sanity.
So!, I've also been spending quite a bit of time in the city ๐!!
It's in my name afterall-my IGN serves as a double entendre; Batman, but also, the city that is very often called my name as well ๐! Which I love and adore and personally believe is the best place in the whole entire world ok moving right along then.๐
๐จ Part of my degree requires that I study the architecture of buildings, and learn the origins of where the designs come from, so after having a little hair appointment๐ฆข๐ซง I wandered around and really took a careful look at all the unnoticed art around me๐บ
๐ That last one is POV: You are on top of a very tall building, and looking directly up at even taller buildings.
I love my city more than anything ๐งธ I decided this night that no matter what happens, I won't ever leave. Even if the current times cause a big disaster, I will accept that this is where I die. But I hope not, but if I do, do you know that I loved you? Thanks for reading ๐ฅฐ and until next time! ๐๐ท๐๐ฐ๐
Hello ๐ฟ I made a RP Profile thing a while ago but didn't have time to share it, but anyways, here it is! I love love LOVE the little Play Theme button! I think it's funny how it can pop up during PvP...my apologies to those who have been viciously attacked by Aรฉras (๏พฯ๏ฝฅ๏ฝ๏ฝก)
Additionally,
Every season, I decorate my house to match the current holiday, and so I wanted to share what my Valentines house looked like ๐๐ ! I think I'll keep it this way up until of course, Easter! Hopefully they add more cute bunny related furniture ๐
Naturally, I am very VERY excited for the upcoming housing changes๐๏ธ
Not just the increased item limit ๐๏ธ but also the interior shape shifting as well-which won't be THIS patch, but will eventually come out later down the line. For now though, the increased item limit will keep me QUITE busy!! I'm already thinking up crazy ideas ๐, and I can't wait to make my house even more RP friendly๐!!
