Ultimate Dreadwyrm Grimoire Dreadwyrm (Attire) of Casting Dalamud Horn FFXIV SUMMONER BUILD THREAD; LET'S GO! It's taken me *years* to earn that book, and now that I have... I feel I'm finally worthy of creating it. Perhaps it will become my magnum opus of SMN book props.

The art makes this look really cool. I have the artists credited on my Tomestone bio, but I want to make sure they are properly credited here too. Banner art: deviantart.com/darkhhhhhh Portrait art: floatyskyeart.carrd.co

Every year, I get the COVID and flu shots, and every year, they kick my ass. This is the first year I'm able to see exactly how they affect my biometrics.

This fight honestly dumpstered my self-esteem in ways I can't really explain (and I've been raiding since 1.0), but I'm glad my group finally made it through (plus a very helpful friend).

Link's new OoT outfit is nothing short of an absolute GIFT to cosplayers. It seriously looks SO FUN to make. All the plant/natural fabric elements...

This is the new litmus test, I guess. LOL.
How do you feel about the Zelda Ocarina of Time remake graphics?

It feels weird to feel so out of place with the FFXIV raiding community nowadays. I really don't feel like I belong anymore, and finding people with a similar mentality going into Evercold is not going to be easy if possible at all.

I went to eat a KitKat, and... there was literally no wafer inside. I have never had this happen to me. I'm 38 years old. I don't know what reality is anymore because now I know what a KitKat tastes like without a wafer.

I drew my Carby so people would know which spot I am intending to take for Exaflares

Adventures in Eorzea might be one of my greatest hobbies, but Vana'diel will always be my home.

I have mixed feelings about posting something "controversial." On the one hand, I know I now have the self-control to not engage rage baiters. On the other hand, I am creating an environment where *other* people might fall prey to it. Life is too short. Don't waste your energy!

I try to appreciate a creator's vision when absorbing any piece of media. As long as I can understand what they're going for, I'll enjoy it regardless of how well it might have been executed. You may disagree, but I loved Wuk Lamat. She offered us unique situations/perspectives.
Wuk Lamat is a great character and I’m still convinced the two main reasons Americans dislike her is because they either have main character syndrome or they got swept up in an anti-trans culture war

Being a Legacy player and seeing how much the "raiding community" has changed over the last 16 years has been just downright depressing for me. Seriously. My fondest memories are from my ARR/HW/Stormblood statics. We didn't know it at the time, but those were the good old days.

Before I go to bed, I just want to say I didn't think things were perfect back then. They just felt better. PF has never felt like home to me. Beyond joining to help friends, I tend to avoid it for high-end content progression (Savage/Ultimate). I have always preferred statics.

How the tail *should* have worked onstage in Berlin. So sad that it failed because I set the limiter just a teensy bit too short... #FFXIVFanFest #ffxivcosplay #Cosplay #Peacock
