-R E C L A I M-

so, i actually learned this from a discord i’m in, but i haven’t seen a post about it here on tumblr, so i thought i’d share, because it’s super beneficial!

it’s really simple!

start off by logging into the alt you want to be tenant to your personal home. open your task manager, as well. start teleporting somewhere - anywhere! in the spare moments before your teleport casts, force-quit out of the game.

immediately get back in the game, but this time, log into your character with the house. player search your alt, who should, if you quit the game in time, still be logged on, and send a friend request! it’s actually that easy, i was surprised.

then, clearly, log onto the alt, accept the friend request, then log onto your main, make them tenant, and voila!

I had to do some extra noodling because my client wasn’t closing fast enough. This thread on reddit has some good tips if it’s not working for you through the task manager. 

Long story short, my girlfriend ( @pudgy-puk​ ) and I need to find funds on short notice to replace a computer that got smashed up while travelling. The airline may end up paying up in the end but it turns out that doing computer-based work without a computer is really kind of difficult! And not having a computer for the 500 years or so it’s going to take them to actually look at claims would be kind of inconvenient.

If you’re interested, email me at [email protected] with the subject line ‘Commission’, or send me a message via tumblr!

I’m going to be handling commissions stuff via my own paypal and sending money over to Teg, because this is actually selling stuff and so I need to do invoices and such. She’s uncomfortable with me posting her paypal here because real names, but if you’d like to support her directly, shoot a message to [email protected] and talk to her! (I’ll probably end up drawing you stuff if you do that, too, ngl.)

i have been thinking a lot lately about lizert costume design. because all the important leader types of the three important tribes (sadu, temulun, cirina, and magnai) do diverge some from their people’s three-primary-color-coded uniform. sadu is just wearing shorter shorts and different sandals, temulun and cirina wear the same robe as the rest of the mol, just dyed white and pink (respectively) rather than red… but then there’s magnai. the most radiant brother magnai, The Sun, azim’s chosen, ruling over a people who revere the sun and consider themselves the descendants of him and dress the part, is walking around himself all in dark, drab, colorless blacks and greys. and i’m sure part of the reason is to do with needing magnai to seem intimidating and impressive to the players, as the standard oroniri get up is …very much not that, but it certainly would have been possible to preserve the uh. sunny qualities while making him scarier. and yet, no! the only sunny yellow and golden things about magnai’s character design are his eyes, the highlights in his (very dark) hair, and the glowing gold cracks in his axe, and when one has a sun-themed character who is mostly dark and colorless except for little golden bits, what kinda–

Ever since I spotted @issom-har ‘s post about epithets, I’ve had this idea rattling around in my head. Today seemed like a good day (thanks to free time \o/) to knock it out!

So, you want a picture of your character in a swimsuit? You want to support some good good causes? How about both?

Make a $35+ donation to either the Southern Poverty Law Center or NAACP’s Albemarle-Charlottesville Branch* and send me a message with proof, as well as a reference for your character and your choices of background, pose and swimsuit and any details you think might be good (colours you might prefer for your character to wear etc.).

Five open slots for the moment.

Rules!

This is aimed at the Final Fantasy XIV community, but if you’re willing to deal with that then non-XIV characters are fine!

Canon characters are fine, as well as your OCs!

I’m happy to draw male characters for this, but I only have versions of the custom swimsuits for female-presenting characters. I can wing ‘male’ versions of them or stick to the ingame suits!

Feel free to use this art for all personal uses, including printing it out for yourself or for friends. If you need a high-res version for the latter, feel free to ask!

I may well be streaming my work, so please be okay with that!

too often since the nhaadam were oronir granted safe visits to dotharl iloh, in koko’s opinion–especially this oronir.

“what is the traditional way, amongst you dotharl, to woo a wife?” magnai sounded less the prissy radiant brother than usual–he spoke to koko like some kind of comrade, a particular ally given the nature of this particular quest.

“i know you mean sadu.“ koko waited briefly before lifting attention from the pile of arrows needing fletching, before looking to magnai with eyes full of disdain. "for a warrior of her stature… you would do well to present her the skull of her enemy, gilded and full of the finest kumis.”

magnai was less inclined to squirm at that than koko would have liked, only frowning at koko’s deliberate provocation. “…i see. very well. whose skull, then, would she most desire as a goblet?”

So during a radio interview, Yoshida gave out an answer for a similar request. Below is the JP, and I’ll put a translation beneath it. It’s not out of the question, but hard, from what I understand.

Q. ヘビースモーカーの私としては喫煙エモートが欲しいのですが全世界でサービスを提供しているFF14では厳しいとおっしゃると思います。 例えばモグモグスモークキャンディをくわえる(モーグリ族がモチーフの棒付きキャンディ、くわえると爽やかな香りの煙に包まれる)といったものなら可能なのでしょうか？ A. レギュレーション的には多分ありなんだと思います。 ディスクリプタ(業界規約でこのマークをつけておけばこれはokみたいな)があれば…。 喫煙はいけるし実は新生の頃にシドに電子タバコ(ガーロンドアイアンワークス製)を吸わせようとしていたが 実装コストが間に合わなかった。 それが実現していればシドモデルの電子タバコのグッズが作れていたはず 喫煙者に厳しい世の中、なかなか難しい。 質問にあるような「いい香りのする」ものならありかもしれません 面白いので考えてみます

Q.

I’m a heavy smoker and I would love to have a smoke emote but I think it would be a bit difficult since FF14 is putting out its service globally. For example, could it be possible to implement something like a Moogle Mog Smoking Candy (a stick type candy that has a Moogle motif, and when put in the mouth would emit a nice scent) instead?

A.

I think this would be possible under the regulations. As long as there’s a descriptor (something in the industry agreement that would mark this as OK)…

Smoking is actually fine and during ARR we had planned for Cid to be smoking an electrical cigarette (Garland Ironworks Brand) but the implementation costs couldn’t be met.

If that had become a reality the Cid model electrical cigarette goods could have been made.

As the world is strict on smokers, it is rather hard.

Just like in the question, “something that has a nice scent” may be possible.

So I roleplay a male au ra in a female model and had joined a Xaela rp discord channel. A member there asked if I could even do that when I answered that there were NPCs that were already like that. They didn’t believe me, told me I was lore bending by making a smaller stature male au ra, and suggested I make my character half aura half hyur instead. I told them I wasn’t going to change my character and I wasn’t asking permission to play my character how I was.

Here is an NPC that is cannonly a male au ra in the female model. You can find him at the north gate of Reunion.
