she/her ⢠late 20s ⢠multifandom ⢠BEWARE FFXIV SPOILERS  ⢠icon by @bluecaeriart ⢠here's anything I find funny, pretty, interesting or inspiring. I love stories, no matter what medium they are presented in!
I'm waldwasser (she/her), multifandom blogger in my late 20s. I do art sometimes, but I'm mostly just here to reblog things.
If you're here for FFXIV, you can find stuff about my WoLs under the read more, as well as under their respective tags. It's mostly (vanilla) gposes, bits of lore/backstory and the occasional art piece ^^
Cute icon is by @bluecaeriart <3
Susumi Koizumi
Age: 26 at the end of EW
Race: dunesfolk lalafell/duskwight elezen
Sexuality: lesbian
'Canon'/main jobs: White Mage, Bard, Dark Knight
WoL status: it depends! Usually 'just' an echo-blessed member of the scions and backup to @rajian (who is the WoL in their shared canon), but I also enjoy thinking of her as the WoL in her own right.
Currently in: almost caught up on MSQ
Significant relationships: Rajian Koizumi (long term friend, now wife), Lyse (friend and former crush), Arenvald (B-team scion colleague and friend)
Personality: cheerfull, stubbornly optimistic, approachable, nostalgic, probably too forgiving for her own good
Backstory: Born to a prosperous minig family in southern Thanalan, Susumi's childhood was quite sheltered. When her father's shady business dealings led to the deaths of several workers in his silver mine (and he tried to lay the blame at Susumi's feet), Susumi ran away from home and made her way to the Twelveswood with vague plans to become a conjurer. After a nearly disastrous run-in with monsters in the Shroud, and a timely rescue by @rajian, she started her new life as a conjurer and woodworker, and shortly after got embroiled in The Plot of FFXIV.
Spent the Endwalker patches as a duskwight, due to an unexpected reaction to some magical root vegetables (you can probably guess who's responsible...). But I'm back to potato form for Dawntrail!
Fun facts: does woodworking to relax; hates fermented food
Hnaba Yascaret
Age: 143
Race: rava viera
'Canon'/main job: Bard, Paladin, Dark Knight
WoL status: is the WoL
Currently in: Shadowbringers
Significant relationships: Alphinaud & Alisaie (younger siblings/mentor-mentee relationship), Y'shtola (respected friend & magic theory teacher), Arenvald (friend, occasional much needed voice of reason), Haurchefant (start of a romantic relationship during HW), Yugiri (romantic relationship during StB)
Personality: driven, outwardly calm, focused, protective, should stop suppressing some emotions
Backstory: Born in the Golmore Jungle, she left after an encounter with a garlean patrol lead to the death of her partner. Since her home was too full of sad memories, she left and set out to travel the world. After about two decades of travel, she settled in the shroud, joined the leatherworkers' guild and became part of a Keeper family, where she took on the name 'Hnaba'. After a few relatively calm years in Gridania, the plot of ARR came calling.
Fun facts: loves coffee and making gear for her friends; hates (air)ship travel (she gets motion sick...)

med people are so annoying "This family's 8 year old child who was about to go through a major surgery and kept crying that she was hungry so they pitied her and gave her food, she then had a heart attack in the surgery. They're so stupid đ" girl they didn't know that could happen or why it happens. it takes so little time to explain to them that will happen instead of telling them "no food" with no explanation 10 times
"Before surgery, your bodyâs reflexes that protect your airway are relaxed by anesthesia. If thereâs food or liquid in your stomach, it will near certainly come back up and go into your lungs, which can cause choking, a severe lung / heart infection or even a heart attack. Thatâs called aspiration, and it is life-threatening. It's hard, but it's only a single day to prevent near certain death. Not eating or drinking beforehand massively lowers the risk and helps prevent these life threatening situations under anesthesia." <- TIP: patients have brains which allows them to receive information just like you
I have four kids. Iâve had one or another of them need some kind of surgical procedure that requires anesthesia four or five times over the past 15 years.
This Tumblr post is the first time someone has explained to me *why* I couldnât feed them before those instances.
Iâm not stupid. I understood that just fine. Hell, my kids would have understood that just fine. But no one bothered to tell us.
i did know this before having kids (i have six). we have a kid that's needed multiple procedures requiring anesthesia. and every single time, i am asked multiple times if i'm sure he was not given any food or water after a certain point.
every single time i have had to say, "i understand that if he had food or water, he could aspirate it into his lungs under anesthesia. i am not lying to you." THEN someone would make a little note and i would stop being repeatedly asked.
not a single time was that risk explained to me. the only reason it came up was because i already knew. i still don't understand why it isn't standard pre-op counseling or pre-op check information, when me as a parent acknowledging the actual risk also put THE MEDICAL STAFF at ease because i conveyed that i had informed understanding as reason to not lie about giving my kid food.
"maybe some people will get nervous and refuse surgery" okay so they need more counseling about risks and anxiety, not less information in a way that actually does endanger their child or themselves!
My partner was fired and I've missed a lot of work lately due to chronic health issues; things are scary. If you like my blog or just want to help me out, we could really use a helping hand.

I don't know who my intended audience is here, so whoever needs to hear this, I am begging you to learn to participate in conversations that are about things you aren't interested in.
Part of socializing and having friends is being a good listener even when you don't actually give a shit about the subject.
Your are hurting other people's feelings when you bluntly respond with "Anyway..." and then change the topic.
It can not always be about your preferred topic.
You are being rude. Yes, even if you are neurodivergent. You can be both autistic and rude.
I had a lot of fun being part of the NPC Mini Bang event over at xivnpcbang.bsky.social the past few months, during which I got to draw this huge mural/comic of one of my favorite FFXIV characters, based on a story by @quillofevernight ! <3
Big thanks and kudos to the mods running the event and everyone who participated, this was a lot of fun (and now that I'm done, it's time to go catch up on all the art and fics đâ¨)
So while SecUnit is rebuilding itself after the catastrophic shutdown, it has this exchange with Gurathin:
"I don't want to be a pet robot."
"I don't think anyone wants that."
After which, we get this sequence of events:
Arada offers it a job. Gurathin says she should pay it with hard currency cards, which can be used anywhere it travels to. (We learn later that Preservation citizens use a complicated bartering system, so Arada might not have considered hard currency otherwise.) Then Pin-Lee comes in, gives SecUnit some hard currency cards just to have, as well as fake IDs that Gurathin specifically made for it, and tells it that it's not a pet.
LIKE.
Up until the "pet robot" exchange, SecUnit has said two things: "Fine" and a canned buffer phrase about searching for information. The first full sentence it says is "I don't want to be a pet robot." Gurathin holds his shit together until heâs with Pin-Lee (maybe others, but definitely her), and then immediately crashes out hard enough that the two decide to make sure SecUnit has enough hard currency cards and fake IDs to stay on the run forever if it'll make it feel slightly less like a pet robot.
This goes beyond down to clown. They're the whole damn circus at this point.

i love olruggio witchhat so much. heâs a sun-coded black cat. heâs a lethally chronic procrastinator. heâs a girl dad. he lies to the police. his magic is warm. his kids bully him and theyâre right. heâs in a decade-long magically induced situationship, but he doesnât know itâs cursed and heâs in it for love of the game. heâs lowkey a celebrity but chooses to live in a cottage on the countryside with said situationship and their four children. he sleeps on the couch. he was a crazy child. heâs a bit of a picky eater. he has chronic anemia and is two minutes away from passing out at all times. he hates hurting things so much that he struggles to kill a disgusting giant leech. heâs a burnt out gifted kid. he is begrudgingly excellent at one of his jobs and on-purposely atrocious at the other one. he has a baby face and is nearly unrecognizable without his beard. he carries an enormous, inexplicable guilt. heâs the skyâs kindest, most radiant star. heâs the perfect man
i think everyone who is worried about their skill doing content in ff14 should watch an ultimate world race. if you have ever felt like shit for not immediately understanding a mechanic you've never seen before, you will be Spiritually Healed watching the absolute best players in the world spend multiple hours and 20 pulls just to make it 25 milliseconds further into a fight. you will watch people just completely fuck mechanics that they have successfully done 30 pulls in a row for no other reason than they're tired and their brain shidded. no matter what your skill ceiling is, the trajectory of gaining competence follows pretty much the same arc. be soothed
Also shout out to Gurathin, who had the funniest opinion arc ever re: Murderbot, from "Am I the only one remembering that this thing is a lethal and untrustworthy weapon?" to "Yeah, yeah, you hate my guts. This kid is fucking hilarious."
(Edit: I do know Secunit is an adult. Gurathin is just middle aged and kind of an asshole.)

the Murderbot Diaries opens from the point-of-view of a character who, from essentially the moment it gained (clawed its way to) free will, has made decisions based purely on two very specific motives:
to self-soothe and self-educate (through media consumption)
to protect the people around it
and this protagonist, who deescalates violence at every opportunity, who takes a thousand personal injustices in stride and only strives to do better, whose first-and-worst-and-most-brilliant act of self-reclamationâliterally reclaiming its mindâwas fuelled not by its need for freedom but by a desperation to never be forced to hurt anyone against its will ever again.
this person, when choosing a name for itself, a name it has full reason to believe no-one else will ever learn, a name it uses only in its thoughts, a name that serves solely as a personal reminder that it is a personâchooses MURDERBOT? i am thrashing writhing screaming into the palms of my bloodstained hands BABE
