Final Fantasy XIV

There is always hope, so long as we reach for each other.

Happy Nameday to @feistierermine. I suppose what Mimble (and me too I guess) loves most about the world is the people living on it, with all our flaws and our virtues and our potential for bringing goodness into each other's lives...

alphinaud's heavensward and stormblood outfit has these lapel things and these glove things

y'shtola's heavensward and stormblood outfit has this gem on the collar

alisaie's heavensward and stormblood outfit has this red pin on the lapel and a red gem accent on the belt

lyse's early stormblood outfit has a smaller red gem on the blue gem necklace

and g'raha's outfit has smaller red gems on his big necklace.

i think these might be in reference to the post-arr quest Ancient Ways, Timeless Wants, where Tataru gets a bunch of "blood pearls" with the intention to make everyone charms with them. they're red pearls! these accents don't really look to be made of pearl, but... idk, it feels like a reference.

anyway, the outfits which were explicitly designed by Tataru (not counting the ones that were constructed by her but designed by someone else, like the stuff Y'shtola, Urianger, and Thancred have been wearing since Shadowbringers) that do not have these accents are pretty much just the ones intended for the WoL — neither the Scion Adventurer attire, the Scion Traveler attire, nor the Wayfarer's attire have red gem accents — but when presenting the WoL the Scion Adventurer set, Tataru does mention sewing the blood pearl charm into the lining, so it is explicitly in there, for the Adventurer attire at least.

Were Robyn to see a glimpse of Humble's past through the echo, she might see any number of significant moments - but one possiblity would be his first fight against a Primal, when he faced The Lord of the Inferno in Southern Thanalan.

This was the first time that the significance of of Hydaelyn's gift truly began to dawn on Humble, although just how far it would set him apart was not yet apparent (which was probably just as well at that stage).

Hello friends! Come join us on Saturday

For our walk across the lands of Dawntrail! From scenic Tuliyollal, to the Golden City, and everywhere between!

I would be glad to!

Do you know that @spotofmummery also has a more general gaming blog - @aywren? You may, in fact, already be following said blog (if not then you should be!)

But did you also know that they have their very own YouTube Channel on actual YouTube with videos and everything?

It's a YouTube Channel specifically for FFXIV players who are introverted, socially anxious or just a little shy.

It focusses on topics as diverse as in-game anxiety triggers, fear of roleplaying and (my own personal issue) apprehension around group content!

You can find the channel here!

I definitely suggest people subscribe and leave likes and comments and all the other things so beloved of the YouTube algorithm. Even if you're not an especially shy gamer yourself, this is definitely still worth supporting - after all more people feeling braver about gaming means more people for the rest of us to play with!

You can also find a link to the Patreon to support the project here. Which also includes information on all the comics and other fantastic creative work that they produce (and which I will cover one day in a future post).

Here's the latest video - go take a look!

Hi, everyone! Lulu's and my nameday is coming up soon! It's going to be on August 14, and I guess now it's my turn to post a nameday prompt!

I'm a big animal lover (and surprisingly, so is Lulu!), so I thought for my first ever prompt I'd make my theme, well, animals! Show or tell me about some of your favorite XIV critters! Whether they be mount, minion, or mob, I'd love to see them! This is open to all mediums, too! Gposes, screenshots, art, writing, etcetera, I'd love to see it!

The hastag is #lulu's menagerie and feel free to also tag me!

Happy (belated) birthday @rhalgr!
