looking for fellow vanilla ffxiv enjoyers just because i feel lame about my preference to not mod the game at all. i know this applies to console players by default, but i more specifically mean you're on pc and could, but have zero interest. you're just cool with how the game is by default.
tumblr needs a bookmark option. like I wanna see these some of these silly little posts again without having to have to scroll up and down the kilometres of reblogs I seem to miraculously build up. ugh.
of course i am hopelessly dependent on the carnal instincts that my curse has gifted me
this is my guy. his name is Vortex, and he's a human/bird hybrid guy (snowy owl + raven) that uhm. bears the curse of never being able to die, and if he does, he is reloaded into a previous spot in time--the defining factor that led to his death. he has grown to remember every cycle, and now toys with the lives of others because it's always of no consequence. he can just kill himself and everything will go back to how it once was, with none the wiser for it.
i quite like him
had a dream that someone made a homestuck plugin that let you see the characters going about their lives outside of the events of the comic and i had to recreate this image
Buck hadn’t planned on doing anything to show his displeasure at the sudden friendship between Eddie and Tommy, despite the fact that it sent hot, furious jealousy coursing through his veins. Really, he hadn’t. It’s just…well, he was just going for the ball during their basketball game…unfortunately Eddie happened to get pushed out of the way in order for Buck to get said ball.
Or, the one where Eddie gets hurt playing basketball. 7x04 Speculation/What If.
OP is following an incense recipe "Goose Pear Curtain Incense". It is named as such because in ancient times the bed is generally separated from the rest of the room with a bed curtain, and the incense is meant to be used behind the curtain at night.
Notes:
Some say the modern equivalent of "goose pears" (鹅梨) are quinces. Others say the closest equivalents are Chinese white pears, etc.
OP is likely using the modern definitions of liang/qian, but the amounts these measurements refer to have changed over time, referring to more and more. In general it's just a 10:1 ratio and however many number of pears you wish. (The recipe states 10 pears for 1 liang agarwood and 1 qian sandalwood.)
People interpret the steaming instruction differently. Some say the recipe says to steam three times, others say to steam until just after it boils.
The "dryness" mentioned in the video is a concept in traditional Chinese medicine. It is one of the six factors in nature and an excess of it hurts the lungs etc.
