Started a new Palworld game with Amon and Scylla.

"Pallagans" is the obvious guild name!

Hey. Quick question. Have you ever heard any of Loreena McKennitt’s music? I think you would like it. Lot of it is based on old poetry. Quite bardish.

Would recommend starting with ‘The Star of the County Down’ or ‘The Mummer’s Dance’ if you haven’t heard her work before.

As a matter of fact...

Here is my Loreena McKennitt CD I picked up back in the late 1990s - we go way back! :)

You are absolutely correct to recommend her to me as I love her music! I think I discovered her through The Mummer's Dance (irony), which is what moved me to pick up this CD.

I don't believe I've heard her rendition of The Star of the County Down, but being a massive Irish/Celtic/Scottish music lover, I know the tune for sure. I'll have to check that out. Thank you so much!

For those who haven't heard The Mummer's Dance before, here you go! Well worth your time:

Happy Nameday to Zel and Zel-mun!

@lumei-xiv requested Gposes with favorite minions, mounts, or chocobos in this post to celebrated both mun and muse's namedays!

Naturally, the first choice was Cadu, who (along with Amon) wish you both the very best namedays can offer! Have some cake - just blow out the candles first! :D

It would mean a lot to me if you could leave me a nice comment if you read! Thank you! 🐉🩷

Tell me about a FFXIV fandom project or creative work outside of Tumblr that you’d like to highlight – whether yours or somebody else’s. It could be a AoW story, a comic, a blog on a different site, a carrd, a cosplay or something else entirely.

I would be glad to!

Do you know that @spotofmummery also has a more general gaming blog - @aywren? You may, in fact, already be following said blog (if not then you should be!)

But did you also know that they have their very own YouTube Channel on actual YouTube with videos and everything?

It's a YouTube Channel specifically for FFXIV players who are introverted, socially anxious or just a little shy.

It focusses on topics as diverse as in-game anxiety triggers, fear of roleplaying and (my own personal issue) apprehension around group content!

You can find the channel here!

I definitely suggest people subscribe and leave likes and comments and all the other things so beloved of the YouTube algorithm. Even if you're not an especially shy gamer yourself, this is definitely still worth supporting - after all more people feeling braver about gaming means more people for the rest of us to play with!

You can also find a link to the Patreon to support the project here. Which also includes information on all the comics and other fantastic creative work that they produce (and which I will cover one day in a future post).

Here's the latest video - go take a look!

Thank you so much for the signal boost!!! I’m incredibly honored! ✨

Sooo Zel's nameday (also mine) is in a few days (13th), can y'all show me your favorite minions? Or your character with whatever minion or mount is their fave.

Oh. And chocobos. I wanna see the birbs.

Hello friends! Come join us on Saturday

July 18th at 8pm EST

For our walk across the lands of Dawntrail! From scenic Tuliyollal, to the Golden City, and everywhere between!

The only requirements you need to meet are being through the expansion! If you don't have flight unlocked, please let us know! A couple areas require a little flight, so we can have a multi-seater available upon request! Otherwise, come one, come all! We'd love to see you there!

((I hope you feel better soon @diggingforkuponuts! I'm afraid I'm not home yet to access proper Gpose tools, but I can send you a support Cadu along with best vibes that you get out of the hospital swiftly! I was in the same position last year and understand that it can be really rough!))

-Mimble's Call for Support!-

[mimble-sparklepudding]

Mimble Needs You!

@diggingforkuponuts is currently in hospital and feeling understandably a bit rubbish.

I am putting out the call for you to post your silliest and/or most supportive gposes in order to help facilitate their swift recovery and cheer them up whilst hospitalised and linked up to machines that go "beep".

Remember to tag @diggingforkuponuts and give them some Get Well Soon vibes.
