THE BURNING HEART

A friend and I went as phoenix & bahamut as our mat gala entry (matgala.com)

I was as nervous as I am about getting up on stage irl lmao

you can see the full outfit and our performance here (timestamped), we did a transformation gimmick: https://www.twitch.tv/videos/1985772519?t=04h28m56s

it was very last minute because friend's partner pulled out and he asked me to replace them on the day. but I'm proud of what we did! the artist in me had a blast figuring out the outfits

there was no gear in the colours i needed so i had to be creative with dyes, and I went through about 3 iterations and 4 haircuts before I settled on this one. it took about an hour and a half, and a frantic one at that thank you to choccy milk for the last screenshot

Yoshi-P, sir

what the fuck is Solar Bahamut

where did it come from

when did it come from

why I am junctioning it to Synnove's soul and her carbuncles

why the fuck does its big blasting attack leave behind Hydaelyn's crystal of light arcane circle

I need one fucking job quest explaining this shit Yoshi-P!!!!

Some of the yelling from SPACE chat today while we watched the PLL:

ONE

FUCKING

SUMMONER JOB QUEST

PRETTY PLEASE.

Believe in kindness, believe in other ff14 players carrying sprouts through unsync coils and waiting during cutscenes <3

day 11: machine

From the journal of Estelle de Laussienne, 1st of the 6th Astral Moon, 1 7A.E. Bahamut's Coils are breathtaking in their cruelty, really – and I am no stranger to it. I've seen the human traffickers of Vylbrand. I have seen the state-sanctioned violence against Duskwight and Miqo'te tribes under the boughs of the Twelveswood. I have seen the refugee camps of Thanalan, where Ala Mhigans fled their conquerors only to be exploited for labor and bloodsport in the land that was meant to be their refuge. I have seen the Witchdrop of Coerthas, where innocents are judged and executed without trial for imaginary crimes.  And yet it all seems like playground games compared to this. What level of ethical and moral perversion does it take to imagine a torture device as an infinite source of energy? I quite literally can't fathom it. And oh, the complicity -- the hundreds, if not thousands of laborers required to engineer and build it. I wonder how many hands the blueprints passed through that understood, deeply, the evil they were doing and proceeded regardless. I wonder how many did not believe it evil at all. To think the Garleans have the gall to use the Allagans as a boilerplate for their own empire and yet call us the savages.

Low quality screenshot, high quality me being in awe of my own character.

Panned around on a whim while doing Coils - Turn 5 unsynced. I may need to repeat this as bard (her main). For reasons.

Vierapril - Day 23: Raid

At the depth of 6,835 yalms, you and your companions are greeted by a breathtaking sight: a colossal replica of Dalamud, believed to be the device which regulates Bahamut's regeneration. The structure swarms with legions of the lesser moon's internal defenses, but through it you must go if you are to reach the main bridge.

Sorry, I got distracted. Y'see, there was this quest in Mor Dhona I've been wanting forever to get rid of, and since I made it all the way to Endwalker and this thing was still red, I finally went and took a good look at it, and realized it was for level 50... So long story short, it seems I missed a whole entire raid back in ARR. But that's fine because I can solo it now. And now I have some new orchestration rolls (the sad music is called "Answers" apparently), and this sweet as fuck Summoner glam. It's got butt wings!
