Fun FFXIV memes and things;

‘_____ the Twelve!’

Referring to any slight inconvenience as ‘the Calamity’

‘SICKNESS MUST BE PURGED’

The horrors of the DPS queue time

‘Who’s in control of the marketboard?’ ‘who undercut my item??’ ‘…a Lalafell.’

Lalafells trying to ride/cling to an Au Ra’s tail (and possibly being flipped into the air)

The players that run around naked no matter where they go–yes, even in Coerthas

‘Don’t marry _____, marry the choir moogle!!!’

S L O P P Y

Everyone pretending to be horribly afraid of wiping Cape Westwind

THE Teledji Adeledji face. (You know the one)

The lust for Ser Aymeric

*Everyone does the Manderville*

photobombing someone’s /gpose at the very last second

Playing a Lalafell and being /petted or /hugged

‘Who made this mess?!?’ ‘….The Allagans/Garleans/Ascians!!’

Having a favorite Scion of the Seventh Dawn and lamenting their lack of screentime

People crying when Answers begins playing

People screaming when Answers begins playing because you’re about to be Tera Flared

forward and back~forward and back~~

Everyone singing Good King Moggle Mog or Ravana’s theme when the fight pops

Lalafells’ questioning why they don’t have a Hyurian ‘mount’ to carry them around wherever they go

Waiting through maintenance/down time–especially the night before a patch

Waving to every FC member you catch sight of regardless of whether you’ve spoken to them or not (extra: saying ‘same FC!’ ‘SAME FC!!!’ in chat)

Gathering and a fate or hunt mark spawns right on top of you

the supreme hatred for the 15,000 moogle quests in Churning Mists

Aether currents

Being the sole crystal guardian during Frontlines and watching the oncoming teams rushing at you with clear, murderous intent

 Sastashaaaaaaaaaaa

Someone changing the BGM in your FC house/your own house to ‘Pa~Paya~’ every time you leave

Doing cute /gposes with NPCs

Gorging your chocobo so it changes color

*hushed whisper* ‘death stick’

Forming a parade in any town and watching the line get longer and longer

[mihri-the-sasscatte]

Size comparison of Y’gathok, the Ceaseless Hunger and Bjorn, our level 20 Goliath Barbarian.

[professorsparklepants]

Hey quick question: why the FUCK do you have that

[kittyopteryx]

Imagine, from out of nowhere, your dm casually slapping this thing down on the table like any other encounter.

[mooretimetoplay]

“Yeah, the fight will start in a sec, uh…I’ll give inspiration to whomever helps me get this fucking box out of my car.”

[necrowemancer]

https://www.reddit.com/r/DnD/comments/7asxci/oc_ygathok_the_ceaseless_hunger_final_boss_of_our/ This is the reveal of this ridiculousness during their game

[jelloapocalypse]

Please watch this reveal video it’s kickass

[creepsandcrawlers]

FUCK ME  the reveal video

“CHRIS??????”

[tanoraqui]

“Um, I don’t think our plan is gonna work.”

Always reblog Y'gathok

DM:*Pulls out Y’gothok* *Turns on “Open Your Heart” by Crush 40*

[sensicalabsurdities]

Wow that DM really goes above and beyond

[cryptiddesi]

Reblogging Ygathok because it’s been one year since we fought him!!!! It just popped up on my timeline today!

Happy one year anniversary, our precious Old God boi!!!

[mihri-the-sasscatte]

One year ago today, this boy was revealed.

And for you guys, I have great news: I have the stats of Y’gathok complete and a general design for “how to use him” done. However, an adventure guide is incoming to teach you how to integrate him into any of your worlds!

[stormynight3]

Finally back to ffxiv after a break!! Got to hang out with these two for a little bit before the maintenance happen.

Small Roleplaying Tips For RPers With Anxiety

Over my past years roleplaying I’ve put together a list of small things I occasionally need to remind myself of for whenever The Anxiety™ comes to town. Hope it can help y’all out as well!

This is not an expectation: Nobody expects anything from you, and you don’t owe anyone 1 thing. You are here for YOU and nobody else, anyone who says otherwise needs to be cut from your life bcos u don’t need that. snip snip.

Who said you had to be the best?: I find myself often trying to just be the BEST because I think it will stop me from being anxious, but it really just makes it worse. Focusing on only being the “best” takes the focus away from the fun of it.

You can’t please everyone: This goes for more than just roleplaying, but there is such a component in anxiety that makes this extremely difficult to accept. Take a deep breath and just say it until you hear it. It’s okay, people will get mad at you, you will have bad interactions; such is life.

Icons/Promos/Art/Themes do not equal quality: I used to think I would never be quality until I had all those things, but really, it’s in the writing and interaction. I can list endless blogs that have beautiful graphics and resource, but the writing? I’ll pass.

Find your community: Probably one of the most important things I’ve learned. Surround yourself with bad people and you will have a bad time. Find the right people? Buddy I promise you’ll be having a ball.

Other people’s perception of you does not define you: Another really important thing I’ve learned. Every single person you meet will see you differently than the last, and it will always never be how you actually are. These people only see a screen and words, how can you expect them to see everything you are?

Everything is okay: And that’s it. Everything is fine. Your brain might be running itself all up but when it comes to the facts- you’re okay.

[cherrypikkins]

So to be a Warrior of Light, you must…

2.0 ARR: Be swift as the coursing river

3.0 Heavensward: With all the force of a great typhoon

4.0 Stormblood: With all the strength of a raging fire

5.0 Shadowbringers: MYSTERIOUS AS THE DARK SIDE OF THE MOOOOOOOOOOOOOOON

[thoodleoo]

memes that would exist if ancient greece had tumblr

“blocked and reported” becomes “ritually ostracized and reported”

tons of pics of featherless bipeds that people claim are men

*picture of a random animal* is that zeus

callout posts about homeric heroes

reblogging posts from warriormale and claiming that plato wrote them

responding to weird asks with “i know only one thing, and that is that i know nothing”

instead of making gal pals jokes, people make ‘priestess of artemis’ jokes

*in response to mention of anyone, real or fictional, dying* “tag your iliad spoilers”

archaic smile reaction images in response to uncomfortable situations

Elizabethan Peasant 1: Lo, hast thou learned to read?

Elizabethan Peasant 2: Verily, and to compose as well.

Elizabethan Peasant 1: With haste, then, how is the word “i cup” composed?

Elizabethan Peasant 1: what ho, I know a sporting jest! What art thou when thou art a peasant and art occupied in a privy?

Commissions (Updated)

I’m potentially going to exchange to San Diego next year, and I will probably need some funds.  Plus, I want to write more!  I’ve decided to lower my prices for reasons.

Prices may go up in a few months.

Pricing

Fiction: $0.01 per word, $7 per 1000

Explicit: $15 per 1000 words, $7.50 per 500

I Will Do:

Fanfiction

Original Work

Explicit Work

OCs

Character x Reader

I Will Not Do:

Kinks I’m uncomfortable with (if you want to check, IM me.  Chances are I’ll probably be ok, there’s just a few I won’t be good with)

Explicit content with underage characters

Incest

I hold the right to decline any request.

I am welcome to requests from any fandom, but I am more inclined to accept requests from series I am familiar with.  This includes JoJo, One Piece, RWBY - check my MAL on my navigation for more.

Payment

Payments will be done through PayPal.  My Ko-Fi will also be available (please consider tipping if you like my work!).  Transactions will be made after the fic is complete and posted.  If you are unhappy with the work, please tell me and I will attempt to correct it.  If you are still unhappy, you will not have to pay (Please don’t abuse this).

Contact

Please contact me through the messaging system on tumblr (not ask, the messenger)

However, you can email me

[email protected] (paypal and ko-fi)

If I haven’t responded within a week, shot through an ask and I’ll get to you.

The Request

Please use this format for the request

Fandom

Characters/Bios (for OCs)

A summary of what you would like to see (relationships, genres, events, etc)

Explicit/Non-explicit

Expected word count

Expected Time

Of course, this will depend on how life holds up.  Expect about 2 weeks for 1000 words, but it will probably end up being 1 week.  If I cannot meet that deadline, I will contact you.

Thank you for reading.  Please consider supporting me :)

depression tips™

shower. not a bath, a shower. use water as hot or cold as u like. u dont even need to wash. just get in under the water and let it run over you for a while. sit on the floor if you gotta.

moisturize everything. use whatever lotion u like. unscented? dollar store lotion? fancy ass 48 hour lotion that makes u smell like a field of wildflowers? use whatever you want, and use it all over. 

put on clean, comfortable clothes. 

put on ur favorite underwear. cute black lacy panties? those ridiculous boxers u bought last christmas with candy cane hearts on the butt? put em on.

drink cold water. use ice. if u want, add some mint or lemon for an extra boost.

clean something. doesn’t have to be anything big. organize one drawer of ur desk. wash five dirty dishes. do a load of laundry. scrub the bathroom sink. 

blast music. listen to something upbeat and dancey and loud, something that’s got lots of energy. sing to it, dance to it, even if you suck at both.

make food. don’t just grab a granola bar to munch. take the time and make food. even if it’s ramen. add something special to it, like a hard boiled egg or some veggies. prepare food, it tastes way better, and you’ll feel like you accomplished something. 

make something. write a short story or a poem, draw a picture, color a picture, fold origami, crochet or knit, sculpt something out of clay, anything artistic. even if you don’t think you’re good at it.

go outside. take a walk. sit in the grass. look at the clouds. smell flowers. put your hands in the dirt and feel the soil against your skin.

call someone. call a loved one, a friend, a family member, call a chat service if you have no one else to call. talk to a stranger on the street. have a conversation and listen to someone’s voice. if you can’t, text or email or whatever, just have some social interaction with another person. even if you don’t say much, listen to them.

cuddle your pets if you have them/can cuddle them. take pictures of them. talk to them. tell them how u feel, about your favorite movie, a new game coming out.
