Anyway, it's worth remembering that a lot of things people cling to as Canonical Evidence of their Totally True and Objective Viewpoints on the characters in FFXIV is a lot of times based entirely on incidental side dialogue, often a single line and the possible readings or implications one puts upon it.
This isn't a bad thing, mind; we all do it, and in some ways it's necessary, to comb through dialogue and quest text and side content to get scraps of characterization, lore, etc to base our roleplay, fanfiction, fanart, and analyses on.
It's why I'm often insistent on finding and having context and backing evidence for things, particularly lore analysis. And there are multiple interpretations in a lot of cases--and especially depending on which localization is being used, or if removed content is being considered or not, and so on.
There've been times I think an interpretation is really off (and sometimes if feeling spicy have argued it) given other evidences--or I have missed evidence and context others are going by!
And sometimes people will read the same lines entirely differently, for uncountable possible reasons based on our myriad lived experiences. Things I've had to remember/be reminded of a few times, and so now try to caveat with "I feel" or "I think" or "in my opinion" when giving my own take or rebuttal, if I do.

okay I don't normally do these things but was tagged by @unsavorie and already in a music music mood so here we go!!
"Shuffle your ‘on repeat’ playlist and list the first 10 songs that play, then tag 10 people."
"Don't Go Insane" - DPR IAN
I was obsessed with with one recently
"Loverboy" - young friend
and this one last year
"cough drops" - almost monday
and this one, recently again
"Something Super Sweet" - Rory Webley
and this one, again last year, and also a lot. i made up a dance to it
"*Equip Sunglasses*" - Hot Mulligan
I have been, am, and will probably continue to be obsessed with this one for a long time. I love it so much.
"ARE WE HAVING FUN YET?" - Negative 25
I also liked this one quite a lot but less than every single one so far lol
"Edge of the Earth" - The Beaches
this one i only very recently discovered, like within the last week, I cannot believe it made the list because I did not think I listened to it THAT MUCH 😅
"Sleeping on the Ceiling" - Friday Pilots Club
I wasn't obsessed with this one but I like how he says one of the lyrics so I always let it play, also this band has been making their way into my playlists more and more lately
"bl00dbath" - rosecoloredworld
this band got advertised to me on instagram not that long ago and I heavily fuck with at least three of their songs
"Addiction/Prescription" - poptropicaslutz!
this one has been my listen-again when it comes on shuffle lately, it's a mid yet fun song and I fuck with it. also I could have swore I'd heard of this band before but I went through their other songs and didn't recognize or like any lmfao
I was doing this and thinking "wow these are all such good songs that I love listening to" then it occurred to me that this is my on repeat and not my general playlist. on repeat means something 🤦
and I tag:
@vanguard @striders @letsrevince @hungry-hobbits @fluffy-flock @starssystem @langleyavenue @tenttle @adhdalistair @walnutsupreme @toadcroaky @babyprime
and anyone else who wants to do it!
#sorry im not tagging everyone's urls here#audio#about me#music rec#song rec#long post#also you dont HAVE TO but i was extra and made mine links

20 Questions for Fic Writers
Thanks @cha-melodius @hippolotamus @mammameesh @kiwiana-writes @happiness-of-the-pursuit for the tags. I'm sure I've done this before but I can't find it to see how long ago!
How many works do you have on ao3?
84
What's your total ao3 word count?
591,653 but that's inflated by a number of collabs, I think the number is closer to 400-450k
What fandoms do you write for?
RWRB, 911 LS and SC (rarely these days)
Top five fics by kudos:
Excluding any collabs (there's a couple in particular that are right up there)
Everybody needs good neighbours | RWRB | E | 14.3k | neighbours au
to the victor, the spoils | RWRB | E | 19.4k | lawyer au
yours for the afternoon | RWRB | M | 4.6k | coffee shop au
what, like it's hard? | RWRB | E | 65.1k | lawyer au, the prequel
I want you, I need you, oh baby oh baby | RWRB | E | 7k | college au
Do you respond to comments?
Yes, I try to! I'm not always prompt but I do respond to almost every comment
What is the fic you wrote with the angstiest ending?
Happy endings only here. I do have one unpublished Tarlos ficlet that's kind of a Queen Charlotte inspired future fic that is the saddest thing I've ever written which is the result of @howtosingit saying "whatever you do, don't think about X" which of course meant that I did and I wrote it in a fever dream, cried then buried it in my gdocs.
What's the fic you wrote with the happiest ending?
All of them hahaha
Maybe the ending to what, like it's hard?
Do you get hate on fics?
I've gotten some strange comments but I don't know that I'd class it as hate, as such (thankfully)
Do you write smut?
nah yeah lol
Craziest crossover:
It's not a proper fic, but I wrote this in response to an ask about what would happen in Alex & Henry, David & Patrick and Carlos and TK all met.
Have you ever had a fic stolen?
not as far as I am aware!
Have you ever had a fic translated?
Nope
Have you ever co-written a fic before?
yes and I love it! I've done collabs where we each write a chapter, one where we each wrote a chapter and then fully co-wrote the final chapter, a full co-write with @welcometololaland (that ended up morphing into each of us alternating chapters), and I'm in the process of another co-write with Lola atm.
All time favorite ship?
you can't make me choose
What's a wip you want to finish but doubt you ever will?
I don't like to say never, but probably the SC paint & sip au
What are your writing strengths?
based on the comments I get - smut with feelings, banter/dialogue, characterisation
What are your writing weaknesses?
World building, pretty metaphors, I'm far too fond of run on sentences to the point where if I was beta reading my own writing there are SO MANY sentences that need to be cut down so that the reader can breathe.
Thoughts on dialogue in another language?
If it fits the character, I love it! I generally ask a native speaker to help me with translations for accuracy
First fandom you wrote in?
Schitt's Creek
Favorite fic you've written?
I don't wanna choose
I've got no idea who's done this already but I'll tag @welcometololaland @everwitch-magiks @clottedcreamfudge @indomitable-love @three-drink-amy
@never-blooms @freneticfloetry @strandnreyes @heartstringsduet @reyesstrand
@indestructibleheart @orchidscript @maxbegone @carlos-in-glasses @beautifulhigh
and an open tag if anyone hasn't been tagged and wants to play 💖

So, I just want to talk about Dead Boy Detectives for a minute.
I first met the Dead Boys some time around…2007? 2008? when I first read Sandman as a teenager. They were immediately precious to me, maybe because I too was bullied—both at school and at home. We also share a birth month and year, which has always felt significant to me (Sandman #25, which introduced them, has a cover date of April 1991, and yes, you do now know how old I am).
After that first introduction, it took me another 5 years or so to read (I think) every other story featuring my boys. I didn’t have a lot of money, and my local comic book shop wasn’t super well stocked, or super welcoming to a femme teen/young adult. I spent a lot of time finding random back issues and trades on ebay—a collection my mother threw away when she decided she didn’t want my “crap” at her place back in 2013.
Now that my life is a bit more stable, I’ve been slowly rebuilding my collection. I treated myself to the DBD omnibus for Hanukkah last year, and it’s as wonderful as I remember. I’ve now watched all 8 episodes of the Netflix series as well, and I’m just so…incandescently pleased with it. It’s creepy and silly and poignant, and it definitely lives up to the spirit (ha!) of the comics. These boys have been so special to me for so long, and I really hope folks watch the series as avidly as I have.
I don’t think I’ll ever really be able to put into words what the Sandman Universe, and especially Charles and Edwin, mean to me, but it’s 2 AM and I’m feeling emotional, so I thought I’d give it a try.
Anyway, go stream Dead Boy Detectives, because I desperately want a second season, and I know there are many more adventures out there for our boys 🖤💀

What type of villain are you: Airis Ray
Tagged by @gatheredfates thank you for tagging and thinking of me! 💖🌺
No Moral Compass
You are cold, analytical, and you strive to be as objective as a person of flesh and blood can be. Either don't understand the concepts of good and evil, or you understand it perfectly and think it's a load of bull. Some may call you selfish, some may call you unfeeling, but you're just doing what you believe will yield the best results, plain and simple. Why bother with petty ideals of right or wrong when you can do what will actively help those you give a fuck about? Your goals may be selfish or noble or anything in between, but you will not let anyone make you feel like garbage for going after them. You couldn't care less about what people brand you as. You just care about getting shit done by any means necessary.
Quiz
Well, well... Unexpected😊

20 questions for fic writers
Hey @cha-melodius thanks for tagging me in this!
How many works do you have on ao3?
23
What's your total ao3 word count?
329,905
What fandoms do you write for?
RWRB and A Marvellous Light (The Last Binding trilogy). I've been thinking about writing for We Could be So Good by Cat Sebastian since I read it last week. I loved it so much I binge read 3 other books by the same author straight after, and then turned right back to WCBSG. Book rec for everyone who's not read it!
Top five fics by kudos:
Deep Blue
Just Like That.
Oxford Days
In His Wildest Dreams
A tie for fifth! Have One (On Me) and Tumbled Down and Tangled Up
Do you respond to comments?
Yes! Unless they're a bit dodge lol
What is the fic you wrote with the angstiest ending?
This is the question that reminds me I've done this game before hehe. I'm only interested in happy endings so this is hard to choose, but Don't Wanna Be A Fool For You is quite angsty and ends just as they're getting over the angst, so I have to go with that.
What's the fic you wrote with the happiest ending?
I always write happy endings, BUT, if I must choose, I'm gonna go with a non-RWRB fic here. in your room, like a temple is an epilogue of sorts to A Marvellous Light, and it makes me SO HAPPY to have written this settled future for Robin and Edwin.
Do you get hate on fics?
Not usually, though I did get a couple of annoying comments on my first threesome fic from people who thought their own vision of monogamy for Alex and Henry was something they had to come and tell me about 🙄
Do you write smut?
hahahahhaaaaaaaa yes
Craziest crossover:
Never done one
Have you ever had a fic stolen?
Not as far as I know
Have you ever had a fic translated?
No! Someone did ask me about translating Deep Blue but I don't think they've followed through with it. I'd love it though
Have you ever co-written a fic before?
No
All time favorite ship?
Alex and Henry
What's a wip you want to finish but doubt you ever will?
Oooh, I don't have any WIPs on ao3 to feel guilty about. What sits on my hard drive is between me and my atheist god (also me)
What are your writing strengths?
Yikes, ok! Here are things I like about my writing: I like the way I write smut that's super emotional AND super hot, and all the different ways I've come up to make smut scenes different from each other (because writing them can sometimes feel repetitive from my perspective). I like the way I play with rhythm in sentences and build tension in scenes. I like the way I build emotional and sexual tension in a piece overall. Please no one drop into the notes to tell me they disagree 😂
What are your writing weaknesses?
I CANNOT come up with external obstacles! Whenever I'm trying to plot something out and I'm trying to come up with BIG PLOT REASONS to keep people apart, my brain just freezes. I love internal obstacles, the emotional reasons why people choose to do the things they do, but as for external things to move the plot along (think Jeffrey Richard leaking emails, Queen Mary telling Henry how to live his life) I'm just... ultimately uninterested in them. Which is fine if it's a choice, and I love a lot of writing just like that, but I wish my brain could at least TRY.
Thoughts on dialogue in another language?
Like it.
First fandom you wrote in?
RWRB
Favorite fic you've written?
Haha good one. Changes all the time. Current fave: Paper Chains, I think (a personal stab to my heart how much it's underrated). I tried something new for me with the structure, and I think the emotional punches hit so hard, I'm so proud of it. Or maybe the new one for RBB, called Foxden Park. Coming soon!
No pressure tags (and sorry if you've already done this and I've missed it!): @thesleepyskipper @firenati0n @welcometololaland @inexplicablymine @sparklepocalypse
@onetwistedmiracle @tintagel-or-cockleshells @historicallysam @cultofsappho @14carrotghoul
@suseagull04 @magicandarchery @itsmaybitheway @porcelainmortal @anincompletelist and anyone who fancies joining in! 😘

hi res, I have a question i hope you don't mind answering and it's regarding fic writers and comments lol, I'm not a writer so idk, but usually my comments on ao3 (on your fics and other author's) are just to say like 'thank you I loved it' or to share quickly if I loved the characterization or an specific quote but something like quick and short lol, and then I go back to tumblr and make my specific comments and questions to the authors and you lol but, is that like something you like? or do you prefer or is it more encouraging to you to get more elaborate comments on ao3? instead of here? would love to read your thoughts regarding this
I love either or, all of the above! Every author is different. I personally really enjoy getting specific asks about why I made that writing decision, or asking about why I included a certain line/character. I also really love the comments that pull out certain lines and talk about the reader’s reaction to them — anything where there’s feedback about what I created makes my brain feel really good.
I cherish any comments folks are willing to leave me, as long as they’re not mean or snide. And I love answering asks on here. I will say that I’m not always able to respond to comments over on ao3 because I miss them easily if they sit for too long, so leaving me an ask is probably better if you have a question or thought you want me to respond to.

Based on the way my father somehow independently stumbles upon, consumes, and likes all the media I've ever watched, I'm almost afraid of him finding Batman and eventually starting his own competing Tumblr page.
