Botanical Healer

Heh. I suppose Aarna counts. She was originally an alt I made for no other purpose than to let me RP at a friend's venue while Vinalo was on their honeymoon many years ago. She was also a Lalafell named Fafachu Fachu. I only ended up using her maybe three times, and then sat unused for two years.

Honored to have witnessed @mcstronghuge.bsky.social murder someone right before my own untimely demise.

Dhelmise is a pokemon that I managed to fish up in my UltraSun playthrough and gained a great appreciation for. It's haunted seaweed that has STAB on three types! I love it.

I'd normally not issue a 'correction' for something like this, but I had a brain blip and defaulted to the wrong rock and ground attacks. Now they can actually make use of that high SpAtk!

Competitive viability? Highly Questionable Thematically appropriate? Extremely

Working on that Pokemon card thing, but I think this is still my favorite shot of WoL!Vinalo. Something about it works just right. #lalafell

YEAH YEAH YEAH!

I JUST WITNESSED KINGDOM HEARTS MICKY MOUSE ON STAGE AT THE #GATEWAYFATE DRAG SHOW

The co-healers are ready for the day! ✨

So many stickers! It was an absolute delight to trade with so many wonderful folk. Several cases of 'I RECOGNIZE YOUR LITTLE GUY FROM BSKY!' And so great to see a few friends in person!

What I've learned so far at GATEway is that real people who leave their homes love lalafell, the haters are just weirdos 😂

Halfway through #Gatewayfate sticker trade and I'm completely out of stickers! Whew!

#Gatewayfate time! Heading off to get badges!

GATEway!! Super excited to see everyone there!

Sometimes you just gotta take a simple shot that makes you smile. #lalafell #ffxiv

Oh yeah! I'm gonna be at GATEway FATE! Find me around (almost certainly with @ethryaswiftstep.bsky.social ) and I'll be delighted to trade stickers with you. I'm really looking forward to seeing friends there!

They really don't have one. At best, they look mildly disinterested.

Hello new followers! I'm an avid XIV player and roleplayer, and this is where I show off and talk about my dear little healer, Vinalo Mabunalo! I mostly post little lore bits and gposes, but sometimes some other stuff too! You might even see some stories I've written from time to time.

I remember reaching the first instance of memory removal during 7.0 and feeling my gut sink so hard it nearly hurt. The very idea of memories of loved ones being completely removed is so mindrendingly horrifying to me. I probably would've screamed if the story put a Regulator on Vinalo.

Drew my WoL (@ethryaswiftstep.bsky.social) for stickers to trade at GATEway FATE! Super looking forward to it!!

Vih-NAH-low Mah-boo-NAH-low Like most traditional Lalafellin names, it's more or less pronounced as written, the only correction I sometimes have to make being that the first syllable is 'vih,' not 'vee.'

Somehow this is more awkward than Vinalo just standing on the seat. It's another case of feeling *smaller* on a min-height au ra than on a lalafell. I mean it's hilarious, but goddamn.

well ok

Farewell to Summer #ffxiv #au_ra

Sometimes I have to stand in awe at my team's absolute dedication to avoiding fighting the enemy in Frontline. The second a B-rank spawns halfway across the map, the team abandons fighting as if the point capture is needed to cleanse their souls of the sin of conflict.

And then you go and do it again. #au_ra #ffxiv

Because I'm a spreadsheet sicko, I made a little cheat sheet for the various noun/adjective forms FFXIV uses for people and places. I'm sure I've missed some, but these were the ones I was able to quickly find in the lorebooks and the wiki! 🔗: docs.google.com/spreadsheets...

Vinalo answers completely truthfully. To them, their age is just a showing of how much life they've experienced, and that they've persisted in all of it. Recently turning 40 hasn't done except have Misha joke "Ohhh! You are going to catch up with me soon!" with the goofiest grin possible.

LUMULL! SHORT! STORY! WAUGH!

I think I briefly played Mystic Quest quite some time before, but VI was the first I played for real. It was actually *after* I played Chrono Trigger on release. It's not my top favorite FF at this point, but it still holds a very special place in my heart.

Well I'll be damned! Part of me assumed Terranigma would forever be the 'got an English localization, but not a North American release' game.
