CHAPTER 21:
A sweet 8 year old ancient annoying the crap out of Hades. Oh was this fun to write.
“I like his tail. I bet he’d be fun to climb trees with. Do you think it still hurts where you shot him, Emet-Selch?”
“That is NOT the same body I shot.”

Chapter 20: Going Haam
Summary: Some have grown tired of sharing in this couple’s happiness.
Rated E, but to my mind, the shoebill is the true star of the show here.

Wuk Lamat would be fun in fandom, just innocently and unintentionally ragebaiting everyone every day #FFXIV
I shouldn't be shocked, but I'm still always brought up short to realize how many people think "civility" means "white people speaking in relatively calm voices" no matter what vile shit they say.
Chapter 19: Wives
Summary: Worship holds no interest for Glori. Not true of her soul sister.
Just in time for maintenance!
And only 2 chapters to go!

I thought I was insane to attempt to write from Thancred's perspective.
More so for then trying Azem's.
And then I went and made up an antagonist.
But what fool would EVER consider writing from Urianger's?
So many thous. So so many.

Beta Reading Adventures:
He keeps substituting Elizabeth for Elidibus.
"I should just call him Beth."
Later: "I think you should replace 'beautifully deep voice' with something more descriptive - rich baritone, maybe?"
Me: "So, Baritone Beth?"
Yes, Baritone Beth it is.

Will we meet Halmarut in an upcoming patch? They were mentioned in the Pandaemonium epilogue - its release was delayed because of its relevance to the upcoming story.
I want an explanation for why the flora/fauna/people from the First & Source are both present in Living Memory's gardens!

Sands of Amber. I used to RP walk through Ahm Araeng just to have more time with it.
Because they asked
I don't know why or how it started, but I always leave exactly 3K with all my retainers. Makes no sense, but I cannot seem to help myself.
To her mother after she met him in Ul'dah: "In love with his own wit. Over-reliance on flattery. Textbook case of imposter syndrome."
In the present?: Best friend. Partner in crime. Home.

❤️ this one!
Thancred confessed a crass fantasy of the 2 of them in an alley in Ala Mhigo.
The crassness was the compliment - hero worship alienates her. She longs to be seen as a person.
And Thancred knows that better than anyone.

I just realized that Patch 7.3 is called "The Promise of Tomorrow."
There's still a chance I may have guessed right?
I really hope I am.
Because, if I am?
The possibilities are, ahem, "Endless."

Normal point 1st: When I played ShB, I used to AFK in this zone just to listen.
Geeking Out: This is a moment where I realized that I had a story in my head for my WoL.
She despises Ahm Araeng.
Everything about the damn place.

(2/2) And then staring after his first portal exit.
Ishikawa knew EXACTLY what she was doing. This is classic romance here.
(1/2) ShB NG+:
I've probably seen a dozen or so WoLs in the meet-and-greet scene with Emet-Selch. But it still blows my mind - EVERY TIME - that the WoL backs away when he approaches to beg for cooperation.
Our WoL does not back down. A blatant tell of unwanted attraction
#FFXIV | #Shadowbringers
ShB NG+:
Player: Ready?
WoL: Nope.
Player: Me either.
WoL: He fked us up good the 1st time.
Player: And bad, don't forget the bad.
WoL: I hope he likes my outfit?
Player: His eyes won't leave yours, save to glare at Thancred.
WoL: Ok, come on out ya smug bastard.

ShB NG+:
I'd say Alisaie knows, but then I remind myself that Glori has a nasty habit of lying to her on the regular.
Ah, what would have happened between these two had Emet-Selch not been Emet-Selch?
All that to say: One is never to old to play with dolls.
#FFXIV | #Wolcred | #Emetwol
ShB NG+:
Feo Ul: This is my sapling! Mine, do you hear!? Not yours and not the Fuath's! And anyone who so much as thinks about trying to seduce her will wish they hadn't!
Player: Ya know, Glori, this is called "foreshadowing."
WoL: Shush.

Oh, my dear, I've missed you.

10 months! This latest chapter took 10 months!
Writing, rewriting, fretting, oh my.
But! It feels really good that I found a way forward. Or, er, back?
Choose your own damn metaphor, lol.

3/3
Last night brought my very first S Rank since last summer.
And some asshat was /shouting throughout Ahm Araeng about Wuk Lamat!
Anyone who thinks this phenomenon is just a "reasonable" or "constructive" criticism of DT is utterly bullshitting themselves.
2/3
When I turned them back on? An onslaught.
Ceaseless Wuk Lamat hate in /shout and /alliance and /fc chats.
To me, WL was a straight up bro W(o)L. I loved her. Was I playing the same game?
I stopped doing hunts, quit my FC, and I ended up taking a much needed break from XIV in general.
1/3
I'm more fanatical than, well, just about everyone, about spoilers. Especially avoiding emotional spoilers, aka, "Oh wait until you get to THAT!" or "Omg, that song is a total banger!"
I'm after surprise.
So I had nearly all chats turned off throughout DT.

“Every time...something got in the way. Krile’s kidnapping. A reunion between Raubahn and Nanamo. Sri Lakshmi in the Griffin Room. I almost poured my heart out as we were opening Zenos’s grave”
“In fairness to U, the 2 of you have spent an unusual amount of time together in the presence of corpses”
wHaattT?
A row between Musk and...Asmongold?
I almost feel bad for leaving X.
Nah, that's a lie.
No regrets whatsoever.
Being the obsessive SokenStan I am, I often listen to FFXIV music at work.
And, wow, do I have to pause whenever this shows up.
The build-up of tension in the percussion, the cutting of the strings like blades through the air.
Just an EPIC battle song.
Underrated, I think.

Well, the irony also being that Moana's father was wrong, that Moana, like Azem, found happiness in not staying where she was, but in seeking itself. That thought makes me love this even more!!!
