Highlights of FFXIV: Shadowbringers

The villain striding into your mysterious ally’s sanctum to talk about how great naps are

Negging a man into building you an enormous robot

The time when a tram that is crucial to your quest to save the world has fortunately been kept in maintenance by a bunch of guys who just really like trams

Finagling your way into a highly exclusive decadent hedonist city by pretending to be artists because somebody just threw their previous artist off a balcony 

The forest with your friends who worship darkness who are in conflict with some other guys who worship darkness but are, like, weird about it

The villain testing your resolve to face him in the final battle by making you stand in line and get a permit

New event glam = new glamor shots. Love this set, but don’t love how the tie dyes.

AND he's nice. it's so awesome. shoutout to maxima i hope you enjoy your caesar salad in the teacher's lounge today king

Punch or Hug: Estinien "Wyrmblood" Varlineau

Punchability Propaganda: I HATE HIS STUPID GUTS. “OHHHH IM THE AZURE DRAGOON. THE ONLY AZURE DRAGOON!” BITCH NIDHOGG’S EYEBALL COULDNT RESIST ME AND MADE ME THE SECOND AZURE DRAGOON. BUT DO YOU TELL ISHGARD? DO YOU EVEN TELL YOUR BESTIE AYMERIC? NO. I BEAT YOUR ASS AND THEN YOU HAVE THE GALL TO CASUALLY BRING UP THE TIME YOU TRIED TO KILL ME LIKE ITS A FUNNY HAHA MEMORY. AND THEN LIKE SOME DUMBASS YOU CONVENIENTLY FORGET THAT NIDHOGG POSSESSED YOU ALREADY AND GET YOUR HANDS ON BOTH OF HIS JUICY EYEBALLS. YOU DIDN’T EVEN THINK OF OFFERING ONE TO ME! ME! THE SECOND AZURE DRAGOON WHO IS CONVENIENTLY HERE AND COULD HAVE PREVENTED YOU GETTING POSSESSED. AND ON TOP OF THAT YOU STOLE ALPHINAUD FROM ME. I WAS THERE ALONGSIDE HIM WHEN ALL OF UL’DAH WAS AGAINST US BUT INSTEAD HE LOOKS UP TO YOU JUST BECAUSE YOU TAUGHT HIM TO COLLECT FIREWOOD. THIS ISNT EVEN ALL OF WHY I HATE HIM. FUCKING PIECE OF SHIT PISS RAT WHO CAN’T EVEN DEAL WITH MOOGLES FOR A FEW MINUTES WHILE IM BUSTING MY ASS DOING FETCH QUESTS FOR A STUPID MINION LOCKED BEHIND TRIBAL QUESTS.

Huggability Propaganda: He needs to be socialized and domesticated like a feral kitten.

So, a couple years ago, I made up a little #ffxiv daily challenge. A mutual suggested I do another one for Inktober and the 10th ARR-iversary sounded like a good excuse!

Draw, write, screenshot - whatever you'd like! Use the tag #FFXIV10NPC31 to share your work.

Ideally start October 1st, but feel free to do this whenever, if you're interested - it's just for funsies.

Also, interpret the prompts as you like! Some characters (coughEsteniencoughG'rahacough) will fit multiple ones.

A Realm Reborn Week complete!
