I was very lucky ~ I got to play the whole of MSQ back to back, as I started playing 9 months before DT was released 🌺 A lot of MSQ ended up shaping Buns and how she is, so her core has been so story driven!
Outside of that mythology and literature are huge influences, and... 👇

Pranks often go over her head ~ poor darling really does take everything very literally 🫣 If she tried to prank someone (highly unlikely!), she would 100% give it away through giggling, talking too much, and being over excited!

🐇Reaction 1🐇
"I get what you're trying to achieve with her! It's joyful and layered and exploratory~"
☠️Reaction 2☠️
"I get it... But she's the MOST annoying OC ever fucking created. WHY would you make this?"
Honestly, I love and welcome both reactions, because they're both so damn real 🤭💗
#DumbBun
✨ Don’t be afraid of humour ~
🌸 Writers block? Sometimes you need to write the end to get the beginning ~
Mostly…
🫧 Get off track ~ some of the best plots are ones you never planned, but one character did one thing and another reacted unexpectedly and now you’re here and it’s excellent!
#DumbBun
It. Is. A. Fucking. Timeline. Nightmare.
Sooo “present” Buns is after being the WoL, so after the game… which is on going… So she is constantly evolving and it can change mid RP 🫣
I can write her during, before and after MSQ, and keep(ish) a non-dated timeline but NIGHTMARE ☠️

Putting May through July together, as this wasn’t necessary a time of growth but instead working out if I was still 💕Vanilla💕 or suddenly ✨modded✨
Looking back, so many of my favourites are vanilla ~ or mostly with just the bunny tail (we really should have these in game) 🐇 also…

I still can't believe this is my gpose~
It took so much fucking work, and so much of what you see now comes from this and my general obsession with Ophelia as a character 🥀
Thought I'd (finally) share the process, which started by taking a serious gpose and extras for details...
#DumbBun ~ 1/4 💕
To-do list: Actually share the unnecessarily deep lore I've created around these two darlings and gpose their story 💗
"Them" is so precious to me, I almost gatekeep it for myself as if that keeps it safe ~ but really all that does is stagnate the story. And only sharing will change that 💗
#DumbBun
Be kinder on myself 🎀 learning to create outside of feelings of stress and leaning into my trauma ~ even the comedy comes from a dark place, and I would love to learn to create from a place a joy or simply peaceful being 💗
#DumbBun | #wolqotd
And in the end of February to middle March we reach the first NSFW gposes…
….And by NSFW I mean well placed limbs, swords, a Rick Roll, and pink friends 🐙🫣 Goddess they were fun to make!
It’s strange looking back because I don’t remember when I stopped being funny with my gposes~
#DumbBun ~ 1/2 💗
Well team ~ we made it to the ((vanilla)) tentacle porn 🤭🐙
Y’know… I’m still so fucking proud of this and love it so much ~ it’s just so damn STOOOOOPID and for that reason alone it is possibly my favourite of all time 💖
#DumbBun
February was 1000% a “what-the-fuck-am-I-even-doing” month 🤭
Admittedly some pretty big outside of gposing things happened, but it was definitely a time of falling back on old habits and not sure what I wanted to gpose (this is a theme… brace for August 🫣) or do!
BUUTTTTTTTT~
#DumbBun ~ 1/3 💕
Second half of January was when I became armed, dangerous and absolutely couldn't be trusted with posing tools 🤭💕
Seeing old gposes where I was just trying different things, and for the first time experimenting with photoshop and story telling is such a fun reminder of what...
#DumbBun ~ 1/2 💕
Doing something a little different over the next 2 weeks! Looking back at my gposing journey 💕
Starting in January ~ fully vanilla and spending a lot of time playing with emotes and pressing pause a 1000 times to get the right moment 🤭
It was also when I starting posting here…
#DumbBun ~ 1/3 💕
Buns is like marmite ~ you either love being around her or want to sew her mouth shut and throw her in the ocean 🤭
She’s oblivious to this and moves through the world as herself 🌸 Buns is never phased finding out someone doesn’t like her ~ “I’ve been through a lot so am a lot!”
#DumbBun | #wolqotd
✨🍓 Going more simple, verses her deep wants and needs~
💖 Food, food, food, and more food~
💖 When the Scions are together~
💖 Feeling of grass between her toes~
💔 Anything that’s constricting~
💔 When she’s separated from Hazel~
💔 Smell of metal and concrete~
#DumbBun | #wolqotd
2 weeks before Dawntrail released I finally saw "To Be Continued" on MSQ ~ and into Pandæmonium we went 🤭
I'm obsessed with Dante and vampires so y'all can probably imagine the excited of the Endwalker raids 💕 I adore Pandæmonium and...
1/2 💗 #DumbBun | #wolqotd
💗🌸 Exodus on Primal 🌸💗
My IRL friends have all been playing FF14 for years, but I didn't have a way of playing thanks to the thieving twat that was the abusive ex. Left. Finally got a gaming laptop ~ here is where the FC and my friendies are, so here is where I am! Simples 😊🎀💕
#DumbBun | #wolqotd
Me: So, you can't say all clothing~
Buns: But-but-but... FREEDOM OF MOVEMENT!
Me: You move perfectly well in raids ~
Buns: ...
Me: Okay so into AOE's but we do ✨fine✨
Buns: ...
Me: Please?
Buns: FINE ....Skinny jeans.
Me: ?!?!?!
Buns: I REALLY like freedom of movement~
#DumbBun | #wolqotd
Despite being innately hilarious ~ she never actually joke! Buns laughs easily, but is very earnest and sincere with her own words 💕
With that said… Puns and sarcasm go right over her head, but if you take the time to explain a pun Buns will then repeat it to everyone else 🤭
#DumbBun | #wolqotd
🎶🎤 Buns would absolutely forget to sing an actual song herself ~
~ She would be there loudly dancing along and cheering for her friends who are singing, then sing a weird combination of all the songs on her bounce home once they’re stuck in her head 🎤🎶
#DumbBun | #wolqotd
My retainers are my OC’s from written roleplay ☺️💕
It started with Rose, who now canonically plays FFXIV! Shes a tank with no fear, 8 stacks, and a smart mouth 🫣 she very loudly sits there and judges me as I play… VERY loudly~
They’re now my lil retainer dopamine boosts 💗
#DumbBun | #wolqotd
“Perxy Pinxi, reporting for dailies!”
✨🎀 Instantly falls over her own feet as she attempts to salute 🎀✨
#DumbBun | #wolqotd
🥤🍿 STORY SNACK TIME 🍿🥤
Chatter box right up until the film starts ((worrying everyone around her as she eats EVERYTHING)) then leaning forwards and not blinking as she gets lost in the films story~
~ I kind of wish cinemas were a thing in Eorzea now, she'd be so damn happy✨
#DumbBun | #wolqotd
💗🎀 Buns has no concept of shame ~ embarrassment is something she just doesn't feel.
Buns doesn't view embarrassing situations the same way as others ~ life happens and it happens to everyone, so why be ashamed? She laughs or doesn't even notice these "embarrassing" moments 🌸
#DumbBun | #wolqotd
🎀🐇 Well, my friends keep taking print screens of it, so you tell me~
#DumbBun
Love this question 🎀💕
Definately cleaning her ears every morning 🌸 I’ve always had this picture in my head of her sitting up in bed, and just eepily and carefully pulling her ears through her hands to clean and fluff them as she slowly wakes up ~ it’s very much comfort to her 🐇
