I WILL TRIUMPH // OR I WILL DIE

Viera Comm, I love a cool scythe!

Why do they do it?

That woman she's speaking of also copied my carrd layout and writing style. Some people really haven't got a single original thought to share. While we are now on each other's block lists, she has adopted the name one of my OCs gave her character (which I think now is just a stand-in for herself). She also liked to use premade gposes then pass them off as her own work.

XIV is the first fandom I've actively participated in, and I've really enjoyed the experience. I've seen and heard of and experienced wild behaviors from others, but overall I quite like the community.

On being East Asian in fandoms ⸺

I will say that I developed some fairly solid walls about my character lore and my own culture and family stories. I've prev had White mutuals grill me for "cultural context" about a variety of things, and they clearly wanted it for their Asian-coded OCs (yet won't stop referring to 'em as "doll-like" despite my objections) to feel more "authentic." Even had White mutuals hound me about the traumas my grandmother experienced during WWII in China, and the war crimes the collective Chinese people suffered due to Japan's war efforts.

It broke my heart.

And now the older I get the less interested I am in sharing what I make. I still do, naturally. But not like I used to and many people have started to notice this. I keep things to myself or to a fic that I post on AO3. But even my FFXIV fics have all almost vanished. I haven't posted an FFXIV fic in 3 years.

Can you keep up with the rhythm ? 🕺🏻🐸

and yet! he does not like doing Any of this!!! he is still single in his 30s. he wants to quit his job and see the world, but won’t because he feels morally obligated to stay. despite having his pick of anyone in ishgard, he becomes enamored with the adventurer who not only arrives in ishgard as a fugitive, but immediately gets in trouble with the heaven’s ward and crashes into ishgard on the back of a dragon more than once.

he is the cause of awkward silence at alliance meetings on more than one occasion due to how passionate he gets, and he fumbles around when asking wol to dinner and can’t keep his emotions in check around them.

his adoptive parents (who were by all accounts a nice elderly couple) have passed on and the only family he has left is his birth father who mocks him for his idealism and does not love him; he is visibly ruffled when this is used against him in a debate. he loves sweets and gets excited about the starlight celebration and volunteers to hand out gifts to children. he has a dodo omelette recipe he uses to convince lucia, the literal garlean spy he spared, about the joys of cooking. this does not work.
