I like pretty things. I say dumb things a lot. I like RPGs, MMOs and Gacha. I'm literally the worst. DMs open, whatever you wanna say! 18+ NSFW etc... just covering bases for the future.

If anyone tried to DM me (yeah right) lately and couldn't it's because Bsky's dumbass, idiotic and downright stupid Age Verification bullshit reared its ugly head again when I thought I had it sorted already. I corrected it now and it should be fine. Hey Bsky, stop the nonsense.

Embarrassing Memory Unlocked: In high school home economics we once were told to make "Banana Boats" and I literally tried to form a Banana into a boat like form. I had no idea what they even were.

Great... suddenly Dalamud won't connect to any of my custom repos and I can't even update approved plugins. The Discord is no help just smug refusals and copy/pasting links to VPN or SmartApp stuff. This sucks. Zero indication what changed because I have never had this issue before.

The only major change for me is Windows 11 26H2 and it still technically works but I've no clue why it suddenly won't connect. I hate shit like this so much it legit stresses me out and I dunno. Life sucks this is just another rotten cherry on top of the lousy pie I'm choking down I guess.

Outside my house because nobody ever visits! Haha... hah...

#wolqotd / #wolquestion What is your go-to AFK spot? Do you just plop your WoL down in the main plaza of a city, or do you have a special spot?

Random thought: I hate modder drama because I just use things I think look nice and every once in awhile I get some attitude for using a mod made by someone that's a piece of crap or whatever and I'm like "I don't care I just use stuff I like" but I sometimes think I should care I dunno.

Ephemeral Attire is complete! An elegant and ornate floral-themed outfit utilizing the forget-me-not embroidery from the new MSQ set. I wanted to make something that really showed them both off. The corset was reshaped to be more like one instead of a Big Belt. Helios | Ko-fi | #bkmods

"It's big boobs day" they all said, "it's gonna be great fun!" Alas, it's actually big booby day, and it won't be fun for anyone... (Except the booby) #LomasiXIV #BPose #BPosers Fashionably late, also because of impostor syndrome but hey; Lomasi with a booby she can't handle, that's a first.

Remember all the (playful) debates about what the WoL and Lyse were *really* doing up on Rhalgr's Fist? An argument can be made in the same way about Wuk Lamat and the WoL at a certain part of the MSQ dealing with the cabins. I like to believe it because it would make the worst people even angrier.

Missed out on final boat gatherings but sadly performance causes large ones to not be that fun for me. Too many people are not considerate at all with how much load they put on everyone else's machines. We don't all have PCs from the future. Yeah it's a bit whiny I apologize. x.x

Small rant for no reason: I think a main issue I have with RP communities in games like FFXIV or others is that a lot of people tend to gravitate to one or two "hubs" and stay there. There are whole worlds out there to use but relatively few actually do so and I never understood why.

People in the quotes remind me of those localization purists that just want the dry Japanese to Other Language 1:1 or weird prudes uncomfortable with raunchy humor. If you've ever seen the Alisaie comparison talking about Alphinaud swimming you know what I mean. He's fantastic and always will be.

Saw a post making fun of someone's modded character "over there" in screenshot form with their full in-game name in view along with others around them. Can we not? I don't care if you think someone's look is cringe or whatever that's something we just don't do.

The Party Boat is back. Please show some modicum of decorum and don't get normal players seething about modders again. Ya'll remember what happened last time.

Sunshine, seaside fun, and plenty of reasons to dive into an official blog highlighting the upcoming Moonfire Faire's return! 👀 sqex.to/Rdrfg

Almost a week straight of cool, comfy weather I almost forgot it was summer but of course today Nature had to remind me that it still is and give me a hearty middle finger with humidity and heat. :))))
