You know, writing can be really hard sometimes, but it’s a lot easier if you.. just.. you know, do it. Because not doing it makes it pretty much impossible.

Y'all wanna hear a little drabble from one of my OCs backstories?
Of course you do. *Hands it to you on a silver platter*
Tags: @forestshadow-wolf
The little kid buried their face in their tail. “They say I'm Emma...but I'm not Emma...Emma isn't right...I'm not a girl.” They looked up at Soap and Price. “I don't understand...” they whimpered, their ears flattening.
Soap hummed softly, kneeling in front of the small child. “Well, people feel like that sometimes.” He gently reached out and tilted their chin up. “What are you then, if not a girl?”
The kid made a sound like a curious wolf. “Um...boy. I'm a boy.” He said, nodding confidently.
Price smiled. “Alright then, little man. If you say you're a boy, you're a boy.” he said.
The boy nodded. “I wanna be like that really cool guy I see in one of the handlers offices, on the wall picture! He holds a lightning bolt and he looks super cool!” The boy sighed, almost wistfully. “I bet he wouldn't let these mean people hurt him...”
Ghost spoke up from where he was sitting in the corner of the helo. “Does he happen to be a god?” He asked, his voice light and soft.
The little boy looked up. “Uhhh...yeah! I asked the handler about him once! She said he was a Greek god, but wouldn't tell me more than that...” He whined sadly.
Ghost chuckled. “That sounds like Zeus, King of the Gods, God of the Sky, and Ruler of Mount Olympos.” He said, and watched the boy's face light up.
“Wait, that's so cool!” The boy said, his tail beginning to wag. “Is he super strong?”
“The strongest.” Ghost confirmed, glad to have brought a genuine smile to this boy's face.
Then, the boy tilted his head. “Can I use that?” He asked.
“Use what?” Ghost asked, leaning forward in his seat.
“The name.” The boy stated. “Zeus...feels right, if that makes sense. Do you think Zeus will be mad if I use his name?”
Soap chuckled. “I think he'd be flattered. Besides, if the name feels right, no one can tell you not to name yourself that.”
The boy's eyes lit up and his face morphed into the biggest grin they'd seen on him yet. “Then hi! I'm Zeus!”

now that you're done endwalker, could you talk a little bit more about andromeda? im curious about what she got up to/how she grew in all that time
YES I’D LOVE TO endwalker was BRUTAL to her. and yet she still pulled through with the indomitable human spirit
Previously On Final Fantasy XIV (Andromeda Elo Version) style recap:
as you can imagine, her obsessive belief that killing zenos would instantly reinstate her as a perfect hero circa. stormblood went… poorly. the brief period when people thought she killed him and not that he killed himself in front of her did make her feel a little crazy
and then she went to the first and that kind of put things in perspective. or more accurately, gave her a fresh new slate for her hero image and an excuse to ignore her previous flop era
there was her whole thing with emet-selch. anyways
on that note, the only real canon deviation i made to shb was that when she’s dying of light poisoning she does, in fact, run off to the tempest by herself with the intention of killing them both. this doesn’t pan out and instead she spends about a week hallucinating in emet-selch’s torment nexus until some very upset scions come get her. i’ve drawn a lot about this. i will likely continue to draw a lot about this
due to a cocktail of deep rooted mental issues and also the fact that he was truly just so miserable, andromeda doesn’t feel… great about putting emet-selch down. but instead of articulating this, because she’s convinced it’s not the “right” reaction, she bottles it up for about 3 patches
…until elidibus plays on her guilt and she receives azem’s crystal as a 1-2 punch. when y’shtola asks the wol after the fact if they’re okay i decided that she immediately bursts into tears
so now we arrive at the end times
there’s really no delicate way to say it but the garlemald arc was probably the worst thing she ever experienced. which is impressive, given her spring break amaurot excursion just happened.
(i loved it though it might genuinely have my favorite writing in this whole game)
as i’m sure i don’t have to spell out, being treated as a foreign invader in the place she grew up was kind of a lot. she’s incredibly sentimental about her homeland- for as much as she hates it for how it rejected her (and the atrocities) and as much as she never for a second regretted her defection, her feelings towards garlemald are not dissimilar from the way someone might crave the recognition of a family that has only treated them poorly.
in fact, her traitor’s title of viator was never actually official- zenos referred to her as such, but never made his knowledge of her garlean citizenship public because he dgaf. and yet, despite continuing to exclusively go by elo and hide her origins, she privately referred to herself as viator caecus without much thought, in an act of blinding self-unawareness. (but as her god i know the reason, and it’s that on some level she likes that being branded a Significant Traitor still means being recognized by her former home as Significant)
anyways, speaking of her family: they sure did live in the capital! andromeda is trying really, really hard to be brave and pragmatically carry out her duty as Eorzea’s Champion but like…her mommy lives here :(
in the first of many acts that mean the jig of her supposed eorzean origins is pretty much up, she starts asking everyone they encounter if they’re aware of the whereabouts of a woman named lucretia eir caecus (for ilsabard contingent business, obviously. not because she’s terrified her mom is dead.) without much luck. the twins simply do not have the heart to tell her that this is a hell of a long shot.
(ONE person doesn’t know where she could be, but they do know of her and muse that the rumors must be true then- that this minor city bureaucrat really did have populares sympathies, if she’s a contact for the eorzeans. this comes as total news to andromeda.)
(also eventually, inevitably this get back around to their intelligence and thancred pulls her aside and grills her until he realizes what’s going on and pivots to Oh My God it’s fine that you miss your mom?! you should have come to us helping you look for her is the least we can do after everything. this is the second time a scion makes her burst into tears.)
putting a pin in that for now. in from the cold was . a lot. i don’t have much to say other than that it felt especially cruel to make her drag herself through the ruins of the city she was raised in while wearing the body of the kind of person who made her life hell. also in general that zenos knew what he was doing when he razed her hometown to the ground to get her attention. fucked up duty btw. her desire to kill him with a rock is back.
after tower of babil/the moon/zodiark i deviate from canon a little bit again- she lets the scions do their mare lamentorum side thing while she goes back to garlemald to see what’s going on. not feeling great about maybe causing the final days.
and then she reunites with her mom!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! (<- part of her narrative that i had planned out as early as heavensward)
i want to draw this scene out in glorious detail but the long and short of it is that lucretia- who lest we forget, knows her way around a gunblade despite living as some military man’s obedient little wife for 25 years- had actually started trailing the ilsabard contingent from a distance once rumors spread that the wol was with them.
see, despite this not being officially public knowledge, she figured out that this “andromeda elo” was her daughter a long, long time ago, and it kind of snapped her out of the two-decade defeatist trance she put herself in for survival. (which is when she got involved in all manner of clandestine anti-state activities- she was rather dangerously close to getting in extremely serious trouble when civil war broke out and everyone kind of stopped caring)
so she followed them from a distance, falsely assuming that the daughter who ran away wouldn’t want to see her until finally getting caught and dragged in there
also she killed her husband in self-defense. allegedly. he was totally tempered i promise. he had it coming tho.
ANYWAYSSS that’s the chunk of edw i have the most detailed thoughts on. elpis was also incredibly harrowing due to um. her Whole Thing with emet-selch but tbh i haven’t fully digested the back half of the expansion yet because it is DENSE
(i do love it when two characters get one single transcendent moment when they're finally able to both understand each other though it makes me crazy)
two final beats that i think illustrate her mental state going into the finale:
when the final days descended, the number one thing that kept her from falling into despair was her reunion with her mother- while their relationship is far from magically fixed, the simple fact that she regained something she lost after realizing how precious it really was to her made her all the more ferocious about ensuring that she will never, ever give that up again
when zenos makes his final assertion that the two of them are the same, she rejects him- but this is because while it was once true, she has since outgrown that. she has outgrown him. and that’s why he loses.
...also she fucked drusilla at some point while learning reaper
#ffxiv#andromeda elo#THIS IS LONG. REALLY LONG but i added a bunch of pictures <3#thank you for asking anon. i love my daughter i love to talk about her

So, here's my plan:
I am going write down everything I'm doing around the house for the next few months, making sure that I do everyhing PERFECTLY, following EVERY SINGLE RULE my roomate made up, and even signing all the dates where I am not in the house (like when I am in my hometown, or even when it's a full day in university if I go out early morning and come back late evening) just to make sure that the times I got nothing done I got a valid reason (I fucking wasn't there).
I am going to do all of this, writing everything down as backup because my memory is shit, and the next time my roomate acts like a bitch and complains about whatever the drama of the day is I am going ballistic. I will have my backup and I will be ready to defend myself with concrete proof because I AM DONE.
And if she's still acting all cold and resentful, all because last time I dared to defend myself and talk back, then she's the problem. And I will tell her to her fucking face: if you're not able to see a genuine attempt at making things right and the good will to want make up for past mistakes (even if she fucking exagerated them, but I will cut this part out for the sake of peace), and everything is always bad and wrong, then you are the problem.
It's not my fault if you're never happy, and it's not my job to make you feel better.
#she's fucking insane#an evil part of me really wants to rattle her out to our landlord for some of her... legally questionable habits#and yell at her things that I know will hurt#I am not doing any of this though#not that she fucking apreciate or notice it#even less she shared the courtesy#she talks big about and empath and caring about others#but it's easy when the others aren't the people close that you see on a daily basis#i didn't see her try to understand me when things are bad#meanwhile i let slide many things i find annoying just because i know they are good for her#because i know she's not in a good place#figures that someone else fucking acts like this towards me#no one ever shares my courtesy or notice me trying hard#i am always the evil one#sooner or later i will actully be mad lose control and act bad#then you'll see#there's a reason i fight so hard to always keep myself under control#elo stuff#rant

Hello, everyone! I'm not dead! As usual, I'm just busy raising a toddler and playing video games. Oh! and writing, actually. Perhaps I'll post about that at a later date.
Find me on Discord or Instagram, if you like. Email's cool too. Text, even. I know some of you have my phone number.

I’ve been painfully in a Jak and Daxter mood lately, and I would love to reblog a TON of great art, but frankly there just isn’t that much and I’m very T_T about it.
...So I guess I really ought to just finish working on that fic I’ve had sitting around since 2010, haunting me.

"each bar plays our song" > africa by toto, often played in bars, included in kaylor playlists, and referenced by taylor directly in cornelia street > wildest dreams was filmed in africa featuring a giraffe in the same scene where she's wearing a golden dress > that song uses her heartbeat as the drum beat > "my broken drums, you have beat my heart" > "i hear the drums echo in the night" > "in the middle of the night, in my dreams / i know i'm gonna be with you so i take my time" > it's gonna take a lot to drag me away from you / gonna take some time to do the things we never had" > "there's nothing that a hundred men or more could ever do" > "i used to switch out these kens, i'd just ghost" + "i'd go back to dudes who give nothing" + "long story short, it was the wrong guy" + "i never trust a playboy, but they love me" + "some boys are trying too hard / i forgot their names now" > that's why it hits different > "i bless the rains down in africa" > "we bless the rains on cornelia street"
huh, id never payed close attention to the lyrics of this song before, thats pretty cool!
sidenote.. does africa play in bars a lot?? ive lived in japan since before i could drink so my entire drinking life has been spent here and i dont really have a grasp of american bar music 🙈

I hate that rock for me a just baseline, unless it’s like CLEARLY rock. Like I’ll hear any sub-genre of rock and just think it’s generic good music. Especially any of the sub genres that are ‘softer’ rock.
This shit is doubly embarrassing considering the fact that I’m a musician, like, I’ve been doing this shit for ~11 years. I should know how to identify genres by now.
#rock#music#soft rock#leo/need#l/n#prsekai#sol talks#it me!#my post#Anyways my sister just told me that leo need is rock#This post applies to a lot of my musical tastes tbh#there are a lot of bands I just thought were ‘a band’ and didn’t realize did rock#I didn’t realize ELO was rock for the longest time#Also people get surprised when I tell I like rock for some reason#I mean I mostly listen to dad rock(or I guess more specifically… yatch rock *tears*) but I can listen to harder stuff#it’s just not in my MO since I don’t KNOW as much of the harder stuff so I just stick to what I know#I will never forget the time some was surprised that I liked Jethro Tull???#he’s not super loud or anything#It also happened with G N’ Roses or Aerosmith ( I don’t remember the song/band but it was in that genral area)#NOT ME GOOGLING AREOSMITH AND IT HEAVY METAL!?? THAT SEEMS WRONG#yah SEE WHAT I MEAN!#most sources said hard rock but apparently they at the very least metal influences(also blues)#this is like me finding Blue Oyester Cult is Heavy Metal/Hard Rock(even asked my metal head friend#uuh… as I was about to say I’m don’t listen to enough Hard Rock but I do like it! I just need to sit down and culture myself#Even though I artistically understand and as a singer respect the technique behind death growls I’m not the biggest fan of bands/songs that#use that. But besides that I fuck with most rock. I mean I fuck with metal if it’s clean#I mean I do like screaming or those like small growls just not full on growl if that makes sense#tbh I’m bad at identifying genres point blank unless it’s obvious#like songs can have vibes but I’m ass at telling apart genres
