The Blue Swallow

Sybelle Cassantar @ Balmung, Crystal DC. A blog where I toss all my FFXIV-related shenanigans.

[theblueswallow]

// Things I’ve been doing:

1. Slowly paddling my way through the MSQ

Which, by the way, was a real bitch because I’m a thalassophobe. I put a pause on it for almost a week because I had to muster the courage to swim underneath the two sharks circling around The Ruby Sea ;;w;;;

2. I GOT A HOUSE! Plot 1, 17th Ward on Balmung. It’s still quite empty as I’m brainstorming ideas on how I want to furnish it, but I got my little garden plot going, and the ‘bos are happily fed in their stables. <3

3. Making a Fat Cat appreciation gallery.

Juuuust kidding. I’ve been toying around with Gpose and learning how to make gifs. So far my attempts don’t seem to work for Tumblr, BUT I’LL GET THERE! Once I’m satisfied with my attempts I’m definitely going to dump them on Tumblr.

4. Got married in-game! feat. @liott-monar​ ‘s candy cotton cat as the husband and the guests that have attended (I’d tag them if I knew their blogs ;w;)

5. RP’s! ft. @valiantstrust​ Lovely people with lovely characters getting together as often as time permits - if you’re on Crystal DC, live in an European timezone (CEST/BST) and are looking for people to play/RP with, I warmly recommend you throw us a glance!

// Hello to all followers, old and new!

I realize I haven’t been very active on Tumblr - and that’s because I’m 110% active in-game instead! I’ve been really enjoying myself playing FF14 that I’ve practically forgotten I even had a blog up and running.

So if you’re ever looking to get in touch with me - please don’t be shy! Feel free to poke me in-game (Sybelle Cassalantar@Balmung) where I’ll be running around like a squirrel unable to decide which nuts to go for

OR

You can add me on Discord (Tybresa#9200) if you are interested to RP! I’ve been doing Discord RP for much longer now than doing real-time RP, so that’s where I’m most comfortable writing and where most of my creative energy is being funneled into.

OR

You can send me an ask! Both my inbox and submission box are open, anon or otherwise. I’d love to hear from you, whatever thoughts you might have - whether to vent, get excited with or just tell someone about that cool cloud you saw earlier today.

I’m not as mean as my girlfriend makes me to be, I promise.

Covenant of Ash LF Members & Contacts (Not an FC)

Who We Are

The Covenant of Ash is a secret sect that has operated out of Ishgard for hundreds of years, headed by the small and mostly unnoticed Vieremont family. They are considered heretics by the Holy See and - if caught - usually end up with a long drop and a short stop off the Witchdrop. This is very rare, however, as the Vieremonts are extremely good at protecting their flock. The beliefs of the organization stem from conjury and thaumaturgy, as well as taking it further into White and Black magic. 

They are a philanthropic organization, offering healing services and charitable outreach. They also believe that when a person dies, the wisdom of their life is held in the tiny bits of residual aether that are left behind. There are rites that are performed to capture that aether, ergo, that wisdom, and pass it down to others. There’s more, but this is the most distilled version of their beliefs.

We are not an FC.

If you want to play with the Covenant, you need not leave your FC. This is based off Discord and Linkshells for communication and in-game RP.

Who We Are Looking For

Arbiter: Marius’ partner in leading the organization, his protector and the enforcer of the secrecy of the Covenant. Combat experience is highly recommended.

Members! We are looking for people who are interested in RP of themes including philanthropy, healing, outreach activities, but fair warning, darker themes may apply including cult behavior, ritualized RP, dealing with death on a variety of levels, combat encounters and the like.

If you are interested, please reach out to Marius Vieremont in-game, message me here, or on Discord (I’ll add my discord tag when I get home).

Reblogs of this are extremely appreciated. IN FACT, I am running a raffle! Each reblog will count as one entry - likes do not count! Winner will be drawn on 9/27 via random number generator and will win $30 worth of Mogstation swag! Tumblr has no affiliation, liability or connection to this giveaway.

// Thanks for the reblog, and thank you for the compliment in the tags.

Oh gosh suddenly I feel shy!

It’s absolutely no problem! I’m happy to try and help people find RP contacts even if I’m too shy to reach out to them, or a puddle of anxiety. I’ve also been striving to make little comments on things I reblog so I’m glad you noticed!

We should try to do RP things in future! Probably! Maybe! After I’m done hiding.

For anyone curious, find Sybelle’s LFRP post here and consider playing with this interesting-sounding character~

[theblueswallow]

// No worries, I get exactly where you’re coming from - I sometimes do all these things as well!

Take your time <3 And I’m always around so whenever you’re ready, drop me a line whether in-game, on Tumblr messenger or Discord! And this applies to anyone reading this, because y’all awesome like that

One hour, two hours, three hours, four Here comes competition, here comes more five hours, six hours, seven hours, eight Feeling hungry again, despite having ate

God damn it SE, housing needs buffed!
