You shouldn't. I used to be one of those assholes too, just reformed. I've found it so liberating to be open minded and accepting. I explore so many things now that I wouldn't touch with a ten foot pole before because LORE. If people come at you, just say 'Hey, I was a jerk back then and I'm sorry, but I've had time and opportunity to think and realize how wrong I was'.

I’m uncertain anyone would come after me like “You used to hate this, you cant do it now!” Kind of thing. I’ve noticed and talked to some of the people from back then and we’ve all changed in that way actually. And we all seem happier for it, I think. Or at least having more fun than we used to.

I’m more so.... how to explain. The thought of “is this really okay?” always lingers in my mind. Even if it really is okay because tbh who the fuck cares and YoshiP said I can do whatever the fuck I want haha.

MUN QUESTIONS.

Q1 : If you could write your character your way in their own movie,  what would it be called,  what style would it be filmed in, and what would it be about?      

A1 :  Either a heist movie where a past comes back to haunt a main character, or a fantasy-like origin story with a solid horror background.

Q2 :  What would their soundtrack/score sound like?          

A2 : Her spotify playlist is kind of all over the place. Lots of minimalist female-voiced semi-electronic music.

Q3 :  Why did you start writing this character?        

A3 : I moved over to FFXIV after a very long time of playing WoW almost exclusively and I needed a reboot. I had a very vague character concept in mind when I started through the MSQ and by the time I was through ARR I had a much more solid grasp on the character.

Q4 :  What first attracted you to this character?        

A4 : Her initial concept was much more shallow and I liked the idea of some grifter who could change herself to fit almost any situation.  

Q5 :  Describe the biggest thing you dislike about your muse.

A5 :  She tries a little too hard to get people to like her.

Q6 :  What do you have in common with your muse?          

A6 :  Wanting people to feel good about themselves.

Q7 : How does your muse feel about you?        

A7 : 'Is it so hard to just take a break every now and then?’ 

Q8 :  What characters does your muse have interesting interactions with?          A8 :  Anyone with their own secret pasts or criminal backgrounds, quiet people who need a boost of reassurance.

Q9 :  What gives you inspiration to write your muse?    

A9 :  Music. Interesting in character interactions.

Q10 : How long did this take you to complete?

Another thing to remember is some folks play on a PS4 and don't always have time to reply in party finder chat. So I try to take silence after I make a suggestion with a grain of salt. Especially if they don't reply, but do seem to take my suggestion and run with it.

Yep. Goes back to how some people often attribute intentional negativity to so many actions when really, there are so many other reasons people don’t or can’t respond as one thinks they “should”.

When honestly, it’s probably one’s own anxiety or irritation convincing you the other person is being more negative than they really are. Our own perceptions can color a lot. I tend to assume most people mean well but are bad at expressing that (because many times, they are), unless they’re being quite obviously derogatory, swearing at people, or other blatant purposeful nastiness. But on my bad days I know I “see” more negativity in DF chat, too. When having a bad day, and recognizing that, I tend more toward silence than trying to help or defuse, too.

Actually ran into “silence as a response” not too long ago; my friend was trying to encourage a tank to use his tank buff in a low level dungeon. My friend ended up using the wrong skill name (because it’s different at low levels now? easy to forget), and the tank never responded in chat--but did end up finding and turning on their tank buff and the run got much smoother. My friend also was like “oh yeah, sorry, I called it the wrong thing, forgot the low level skill is X” and we continued on.

ldskgjsldkgj thank you to you as well! ;----; It means a lot when I receive this, it cheers up my day! Thank you! ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥

Cadette absolutely adores the beautiful calm of the night.  The world appears as something different entirely under the pitch dark blanket that is the night sky.

She does not, however, particularly relish hunting or other risky ventures by night.  Beautiful as the dark is, it presents its own host of dangers, oft unseen until they are already upon those who would venture outward.  Though an advantage in the right situation, it is the greatest weakness in the same moment.

You’re a sweetheart! ♥ Thank you, we’ll keep that in mind! :D

Thank you!  It really and truly does mean a lot to be complimented so highly on my writing (especially since it had been years since I was serious with it).
