Welcome to the FFXIV Blog of Deotle Bird

This blog is centered around Final Fantasy XIV and the antics of the character Deotle Bird.

Doodles and Gpose pictures would be posted here. Often reblogged from @fireheartedmonster if they are commissions or stickers or vice versa. Spicy works will not be found here unless heavily censored.

About Deotle: https://deotlebird.carrd.co/

Quick tips about the Viera:

Deotle Bird is a play on "Doodle Bird" a nod towards his predecessor Bird and his artistic antics

Despite the name, Deotle doesn't exactly like being called "Bird." Though, he doesn't get angry about it

Not on his model, but he has white freckles all over his body

Deotle's favorite snack are gyashi greens! Though, it doesn't seem to bother him that its a chocobo snack

Canonically, he is married to Gideon Erhart. His husband is Ace and allows Deotle, who is Poly, to bond with other characters

Things I have learned from my birb friends

-Vultures are way smarter than people give them credit for. Turkey vultures have stolen my heart and fascination. They’re also incredibly loyal. Grimm especially follows me everywhere, and comes looking for me every afternoon without fail, a highlight of my day.

-All kinds of birds love music. The raptors especially come flying when they hear my banjo, because it carries further than my guitar. Singing also is an effective befriending technique.

-Wrens have schedules. I am honored that their morning schedule includes coming to my window to say good morning by serenading me after chattering excitedly as I greet them.

-Robins whine, meaning of said whine is unclear at this time.

-Hawks wag their tails when happy! And they sound like a squeaky dog toy when making their happiness noises.

-Happiness is stored in the birb.

-They learn their names

Overall, I’m delighted with how my bonds with the wild birds are developing. They just like attention.

So, I've been thinkng. Since I found my tablet, I want to try drawing? Even though I can only draw pretty mean potatoes! Since trying to get my writing noticed isn't working as well as I'd hoped (Takes a lot of patience, of which I do not have ((rn at least)) and my patience for drawing art is very minimal, I need the practice~) So hey, writing or drawing, if you want something done, I'll do it (Don't expect it to be godly though, again, potatoes. Still wouldn't mind writing requests, but hey, if you want a doodle from me, I'll draw it to the best of my ability (Might take a bit though, i get really antsy with it)

WOO FEEL ALIVE AGAIN BABY Lately I've been having depressive moments, trying so hard not to lose others and trying so hard for things that were probably hurting me more than helping. In turn though, I almost lost someone more important than that. Someone who should never be forgotten by me. Myself. I started questioning why I kept going and when I wanted to give up I just couldn't do that no matter what. I wasn't able to be fully myself and happy because of that. I guess I woke up? I let my environment and others define me even if deep inside I knew who I was. I almost lost myself that way. Then I realised I've never felt more alive then when faced with something challenging, I never liked things being easy for me, handed to me on a silver platter. It made getting over the hurdle so much more satisfying and worth it. I've never felt more alive then when I was myself. I'm a dangerously determined person who doesn't really know when to give in even if the odds are stacked against me (also when even I myself want to quit apparently). Also a very stubborn person xD. I mean, I did pull out the black pebble in 6th grade when it was so highly unlikely that it might as well have been impossible. In my little 6th grader head 'I'm going to pull out that one black pebble' I pulled out a black pebble. Never forget who you are, neither people or your environment can define you. You all got this! Thank you all for being there for me at my lowest < 3

Don’t know why I always had the delusion of everyone being in love with me

well I mean I do know the reason but, I don’t get why I let myself create that delusion and just go along with it.

I mean sure I was sort of neglected and mostly alone since everyone found me annoying and obnoxious in a bad way for the longest time which lead to not ever being able to know/learn the difference between friendly gestures and romantic gestures

and so I just assumed everything was romantic. I didn’t even know how to tell love from simple fondness of others

But after everything, that just made me realize I didn’t care about what the person was, I just cared about who the person was and that if they were willing to give me a chance then that’s all that matters. My friends helped me realize a lot about myself in source and I genuinely am extremely grateful for that

Welllll So, I can't draw, my hands are way too shaky for it right now (Not sure if this will be true to the future but we'll see) So I'm going to stick to writing! In that news, I got 1k reads on my story apparently, although that's probably all my edits with the odd people actually reading it. Oh well, still quite a milestone. Also, I want to say, I'd love some asks about it, if anyone has actually read it xD. Or art or whatever Honestly don't be shy xD.
