to really get into the spoilers for latest ffxiv patch
i'm really looking forward to the first scene of Shadowbringers: janine kicking down the door of the source - and by that i mean she throws obtuse the topaz carbuncle at the door as hard as she can and breaks through that way - and yelling at the top of her lungs "WHERE THE FUCK DID Y'ALL PUT MY DAUGHTER".
thank you, yoshi-p, for making the last boss area with cutscenes in gimlet dark* inexplicably have lighting so that i can see my character
behold my catgirl, #ffxiv tag
*i know it's not gimlet but at some point my brain decided it was a gin and lime cocktail so here we are
Stardew Valley confessions
@troodon honestly i'm starting to be lowkey suspicious of anyone who has played stardew valley and hasn't at least become friends with linus, if not outright waxes poetic about how linus would be a cool dating option
He's Just Good....
@envgen dear god, that's definitely so hideous that it has swung back around into something i adore completely. i say absolutely yes, 10/10 get that thing, and not just because i thought the abstract design was sea cucumbers at first
so who wants to buy me a whole bunch of tea in adorable tea bags shaped like various delightful critters, despite the fact that these are very expensive and also i don't actually like tea all that much https://www.ocean-teabag.com
@monorail GOOGLE HAS DEADASS SAVED MY BACON IN THAT EXACT WAY SO MANY TIMES LMAO....
i know i know i'm getting reamed by big corporations after my privacy but also "hey do you want me to make your phone play a noise so you can find it? yes? ok can-do" is a real big THANK YOU GOOGLE moment
today on "my adventures in #botw as divulged via bad mspaint": i still have a divine beast to go but i went to run around hyrule castle like an absolute mad lad anyway
anyway that's today's salt i suppose, and a reminder that the people who make fan content for you - fanfiction, fanart, fanmixes, etc. - do so for the low low price of nada, bupkis, and zero. please don't be pushy and entitled! please don't try to guilt trip them or harass them into giving you more free content to enjoy! definitely tell them how much you enjoyed it, and if you're genuinely worried about them, you can reach out in a kind way, but remember That's A Real Person Making This Stuff.
i mean i won't do this because god knows, if they haven't read all the explanations of this before now, the people this is trying to target would continue to not read any of what i'm saying, and so it would unfairly punish the people waiting patiently
but damn if i don't sometimes get irritated and want to yell I AM NOT WRITING AS OFTEN AS YOU WANT BECAUSE I AM DISABLED! I KNOW IT'S A BUMMER BUT CHRONIC PAIN IS MORE OF A BUMMER! YOU'RE GETTING THIS FOR FREE ANYWAY SO STFU!
in my darkest hours of fanfictioning, as i explain for the fifteenbillionth time of "yes i do want to finish Masquerade, but i want to finish it properly, and right now illness is preventing me from doing that, so i am trying to just push around some dreck to keep my hand in, pls stop yelling", i often consider uploading a new chapter of Masquerade that's just an author's note saying for every comment i get yelling at me to update i will be moving the time of that update back six weeks
@InspectorCaracal ...yeah, i totally am
all i'd get is either *cricket noises* or "great!! when are you writing more???????????????? update pls!!!!!!!!" as... per the usual...
at this rate i'll write it and the first comment is going to be
"you labeled this sidlink and also zeldalink and also "all of hyrule is now a polycule converging on link" which are all great things i'm into, but this appears to be a thinly veiled treatise on the domestic worldbuilding of the zorua?????"
a secondary obstacle is one part of my brain going "okay! here's your hurt-comfort setup! end of the game link's mostly dead, zelda panic-teleports them to the zorua domain, aaand GO" and got back a response of "no no wait the hurt-comfort can come later, let's plot out a comedy scene as all the sharkfolks run around in a panic trying to find clean clothes of some type for zelda to wear after she takes a shower. frantic sewing shenanigans is some choice comedy, right?"
