My favorite elezen NPC, Stephanivien. 💙

I fell in-love with the machinist class as soon as I reached HW back then, but since I live in Narnia and play on Aether, my apm would make a sweaty raider cry.

So I ended up with DNC instead and ship him with my WoL, lmao.

ok so like. imagine. you're a high-ranking government official and one of your colleagues has announced his decision to step down and retire, and named his successor, so you and your coworker-bestie-husband(™️) go on an official administrative business trip to go meet said guy. and then you arrive and you find A Cat in the bushes outside the office. it's in poor shape but its microchip says it actually belongs to your other colleague-and-friend. you are bullied into taking the cat to the vet AND letting it tag along despite your protests. and you finally find the guy you were supposed to meet and the cat is like. staying in the room. where you are supposed to conduct aforementioned highly confidential job interview. and you try to shoo it away but the guy you're trying to interview is like No i want the cat to be there. Because i'm nervous. About the job interview. Let the cat stay. I trust him because my pet bird loves him :). so the cat gets to stay. and then you keep going and you bump into yet another old acquaintance of yours (now retired and living her best hippie life) (which is highly frowned upon) and she goes Oooooh! Is that my cat you've found? :) and you're like, what the fuck is the deal with this goddamn cat, but you can't say that outright because you are a government official on a very important mission, so you go "i wasn't aware you even had a cat? also the microchip says it belongs to our other colleague" and she goes "oh well no i don't but clearly this cat is wearing the collar i give to all my pets so it must mean he's come from the future :) where i will own this specific cat :) hi little kitty! pspspsp!" and you're like, what the fuck is wrong with everyone today? and then the cat looks at you and says "she's right. i come from the future. when everyone has been turned into cats since the world ended. also i will kill you in about twelve thousand years from now. fucker."

Win’s Carbuncle Adoption Drive!

It’s carbuncle season, and that means there’s an abundance of carbuncles that need loving homes! The Carbuncle Adoption Drive helps to bring carbuncles in need to people in need so that they can find their forever friends.

What’s It All About?

Adopt your very own stuffed pocket-sized carbuncle! You can bring home your new friend for only $15 — shipping included*. Snuggle, cuddle, squish — these little pocked-sized friends are here to help make your day brighter!

Each carbuncle is handmade and one-of-a-kind and comes with their own name and a short backstory so you can find the friend that is right for you! Or, leave it to fate and choose a blind-pick carbuncle, where you’ll be matched with and sent the carbuncle of your dreams!

Still not finding your favorite friend? Request-a-buncle instead!

Once you’ve adopted a carbuncle, your new best friend will be mailed to you, so you can enjoy snuggly, cuddly adventures together.

*Additional shipping charges will apply outside of the US/Canada — sorry!

Pros of Adopting a Carbuncle

Requires no aether to summon

Will not disappear if you walk too far away

Will not run away while attempting to fight the Four Lords (will also not help you)

Does not chew up shoes

Pocket-sized for easy snuggles whenever you’re feeling blue!

Won’t get strange looks posing them in front of God and the Arcanists’ Guild

Great listener!

So what are you waiting for? The Carbuncle Adoption Drive will run from now until the end of May (or until all carbuncles are adopted!) Check out the adoption page here to find yours today!

But wait…There’s more!

Want to make your own carbuncle friend instead? Check out the crochet pattern you can follow as well! Grab it at whatever price you want (even free) if you’d like!

If you’d like to support the adoption drive without adopting a carbuncle, you can! All proceeds go to the homing, care, and feeding of the remaining carbuncles (and their creator — thank you!)

Where are you all, fellow FFXIV players? Please raise your hand. I already follow quite a bunch of you here - but I want to see more. You got to start somewhere, right? It's been so long Tumblr. I used to be so active, screenshotting away, posting every day .. and then life made me stop playing FFXIV alltogether - resulting in me deleting Tumblr because ... it made me saaaaaaaaaaaad. Sob. But I Am Back. In FFXIV - and finally here. Been lurking for a while now, but where is the fun in just lurking when I could also annoy people with my mediocre screenshots. I mean, I was busy already here, heart-ing away at all the fantastic art you guys upload here all the time. But my stash of unused screenshots is growing and I need a place to dump them all. So ... let's give this thing another try. Hello again Tumblr. From me and my (non) WoLs. I will just dump some here, but .. there are more. It's an addiction people. It really is. Have a great day, Tumblr.

My entry for the FanFest EU 2023 art contest! I had the idea somewhere in my mind ever since I finished Endwalker... wanted to show the winding journey through the Aitiascope dungeon

I made it as a finalist, which I'm still so blown away and happy about...

have you ever shipped something so hard that you become irrationally happy and make a sound akin to steam escaping from a kettle everytime they so much as stand next to eachother

Julianne lore drop time.

Things locked into place for me doing mch questline on her yesterday (I'm likely raiding as mch next expac and Jules would be my alt for that to not mess with gear drops). Here's what I got:

- (former) Count Tarresson de Dzemael was the only high ranking member of the family who actually cared for Julianne. He was the one that fully embraced her adoption and was responsible for her getting treated as well as she did growing up, even though she wasn't true Dzemael blood.

- Julianne always had a passion for healing, and was studying the abilities of the scholars of Nym whilst growing up in Ishgard/joining the arcanist's guild.

- She is involved in the storyline of the MCH questline, but as a healer assisting with keeping the machinists up instead of "MCH WoL leading the charge"

- due to Tarresson's leave of the house (he's off in kupoland), no one else in the house liking that she was treated as well as she was by him, and Tedalgrinche's multiple attempts at sabotage of the MCH guild, Julianne found herself exiled from the House due to Tedalgrinche concocting an elaborate lie.

- after the events of the MCH questline Tedalgrinche walked back his statements, her name was cleared, but Julianne hasn't learned this yet.

- Tarresson himself recommended Julianne to Sharlayan as a wonderful choice for their Sage program and promised to vouch for any Sharlayan scholars who came to Ishgard to study the church in return, as having direct support from at least one if not more of the high houses of Ishgard would be beneficial.

- Julianne hasn't talked to anyone in House Dzemael since her exile save three, Tarresson, her former handmaiden Fayeth, and Jandelaine on occasion when she needs a hair appointment (she always enjoyed his skills with hair).

- Julianne has done well in her studies to become a proper sage, to the point of beginning to prepare to take an exam to be certified to practice the craft outside of Sharlayan.

- She is currently spending time abroad to learn other forms/styles of healing, as her studies in becoming an eventual archon (goal after sage) would be based on the benefits of applying other styles of healing with Sharlayan's Sage
