☪: Have you ever flipped off someone?

Not directly no.

I’m not very confrontational nor do I think of things like that in time to actually do them.

Do complex puzzles intrigue or frustrate them?

“Frustrate me.  I don’t like puzzles.  I dunno if y’know this but I’m more of a ‘hit it til it works or breaks’ kind of person...”

Anna once punched a boy for trying to look under her skirt and teasing her when she was young. She was scolded by her parents for being unlady-like and that it was likely the boy just liked her. She then went out and punched him the next time she saw him and told her parents it was just that she liked him. She was grounded for two weeks.

@its-morphin-time-xiv radiates passion and creativity. You can just tell how much love and time has been poured into Belladonna, and seeing their amazing content appear on my dashboard always inspires me. gifs, comics, screenshots, writing - their drive shines through. On top of that, I really adore Belladonna’s aesthetic. Marrying Super Sentai with FFXIV is something I’d never even thought to see, but it works! I’m admittedly uninitiated into that genre, but seeing all the gif sets and images posted make me really want to look into it.

@lighter-than-ahre is a great bean. While plans to RP never quite got off the ground (time zones and my constant inability to keep in touch with people, huzzah), the interactions I have had with her have been really lovely. Kind, passionate, creative - seeing their sketches and art show up is always great, and despite having never met Ahre IC, what has been painted of the character - both literally and figuratively - tell a great deal about how well-realised she is.

My turn!

Send me “My turn!” for dialogue my muse would have while in a party with yours.

Otte Dreamwalker and Jamie Goldenhearth have joined your party!

• Starting Dungeon: “It’s good to see you again, Mister Goldenhearth. Let’s hope this run will be an uneventful one. ”

• Assisting: “Allow me to help.”

• Being Assisted: “Thank you, that certainly made things...a l-little faster.” (If no Bodyguard is summoned)“Thank you, three people makes things faster than one.” (If Bodyguard is summoned.)

• Idle Dialogue: “I am curious about the spells you seem to use. Perhaps we could discuss about them over some tea sometime, maybe exchange knowledge?”

• Witnessing Jamie KO: “...I should’ve worked faster.”

• Reviving Jamie: “Do be careful next time, Mister Goldenhearth.”

• Finishing Dungeon: “There, we are done. I am looking forwards to meeting you again, though perhaps in a little less hectic circumstances.”

Bonus: Otte is quick to pick up on the lower amount of DPS Jamie brings into the dungeon, and tries his best to make up the difference by working harder with his own spells, mostly focusing on Jamie’s target instead of going his usual DPS routine, except on the occasions when the Huyr’s Bodyguard is summoned for aid. And, with Jamie, Otte also makes an exception with his usual avoidance towards using the LB, opting for using it first if possible. 

He also holds back on the critique and blunt words, keeping up more polite and pleasant talk instead.

🐺- A memory about being alone

“I’m sort of use to being alone. Once mum and dad.. well I didn’t have anyone.” she shrugged her shoulders before fingers made their way to the back of her neck. “A memory of it? Umm that’s hard. I guess after Dad.. I couldn’t afford to keep the house and.. well I spent a most of time on ships when I could and when I couldn’t.. I’d find trees and string a hammock.Some of the worst were the cold stormy nights. Couldn’t keep a fire so tarps and bundling for warmth. I.. it was sort of miserable being by myself. I mean I.. I still had it good compared to a lot, don’t get me wrong. But.. it.. I don’t miss those nights. Not like that..” 

Original Prompt

Commendation Tip No.8: DPS

I know it’s difficult to get that pat on your back when you leave duty as a DPS. But fear not, for if you follow these easy steps, you’ll be accumulating countless commendations in a matter of minutes!

Step 1: Queue up as DPS.

Pick your preferred DPS class and queue up for the duty you wish to enter.

Step 2: Change class while queued up.

As a DPS, your queue to get into your preferred duty will last anywhere from 453 to 666 hours. Use your time effectively by changing to a tank or healing class, and spamming FATEs while your queue is active.

Step 3: Leave queue.

You might notice that your DPS queue is as infuriatingly long as an eternity damned into Satan’s blazing hellfire. This is were you need to realise that sometimes, it’s entirely A-okay to give up.

Step 4: Re-queue as healer or tank.

You will enter your duty within 5 or so minutes. And everyone freaking loves you already for filling the two roles most people don’t want to play. Good on you, friend!

Step 5: Profit.

Reap your benefits. You deserve it, buddy.

“I was driving myself apart from my family, due to my addiction of spamming Guildhest roulette to get commendations. Now, having followed these simple tricks, I’m slowly able to reconnect with my family and pursue my dream of building a house out of commendations.” - @drazirae

“I never felt appreciated in my duties and it was plunging me into a great sadness. Now that I have learned to feign interest in random people whose names I don’t know, and likely never will or want to know, I finally feel valued when I receive their commendations.” - @tinyqote

My turn!

and  have joined your party!

• Starting Dungeon: “Ah.. Well if you were going to go without a healer.. I can assist.”

• Assisting: “Sir Jamie you’re drawing too much attention!”

• Being Assisted: “.. Good catch. Thank you, I owe you one.”

• Idle Dialogue:  “...” or “So how are your other trade routes doing..?”

• Idle Variant, after combat: “I am glad you brought your guards. You pay them well, right?”

• Witnessing Alley KO: “All of the gil in the world can’t save you from the finality of death, but I shall see that you will not realize it this sun.”

• Reviving Alley: “In the name of the Matron..”

• Finishing Dungeon: “I pray that your other trade routes will be more safe than what you are trying to accomplish here.”

Maril has always treated Jamie in a manner that the mans title seems to command; being on her best behavior. She does however not trust the man at all, for all of his charity, and all of his words, she knows that most men like him do not work with the best intentions in mind. Thusly, she would only reluctantly agree on entering a dungeon with him, not that she would ever reveal that in blunt truth.
