Mono: "I Just Think That Having Ul'dah Run By The Syndicate, Where Membership Is Dictated Entirely By

Mono: "I just think that having Ul'dah run by the Syndicate, where membership is dictated entirely by one's economic contributions, means that Ul'dah is going to be shaped by a particular person's very narrow worldview and interests. Ul'dah needs major economic and political reform."

Alphinaud: "I know that's what you think, and we are in agreement."

Mono: "So I am allowed to release Lolorito out into the Carteneau Flats and hunt him for sport?"

Alphinaud: "We've been over this: no."

Shout-out to all the plurals with F/Os.

🌼 Who just have F/Os and that's not a part of their system.

🌼 Who have fictives of their F/Os in their system.

🌼 Who are in relationships with their headmates and their F/Os are separate.

🌼 Who are in relationships with headmates who are also F/Os and that's important to their relationships.

🌼 Who are in relationships with their headmates who are also F/Os and it's very awkward.

🌼 Created systems or adjacent who made headmates of their F/Os.

You're all very valid! 💙

house rules, by rachel sontag

“No writing is wasted. Did you know that sourdough from San Francisco is leavened partly by a bacteria called lactobacillus sanfrancisensis? It is native to the soil there, and does not do well elsewhere. But any kitchen can become an ecosystem. If you bake a lot, your kitchen will become a happy home to wild yeasts, and all your bread will taste better. Even a failed loaf is not wasted. Likewise, cheese makers wash the dairy floor with whey. Tomato gardeners compost with rotten tomatoes. No writing is wasted: the words you can’t put in your book can wash the floor, live in the soil, lurk around in the air. They will make the next words better.”

And some Mono/Alphy/Estinien because I'm also thinking about them.

Mono, being a Lalafell, is very easy to pick up. But ne is also a solid 65 ponzes.

Yes, Estinien uses nem as a projectile, and usually his target is Alphinaud. Mono finds it hilarious. Alphinaud does not.

Mono also likes to be picked up and have them both squish nir face into their pecs because uhhhhh boobies.

Alphy has had Mono's blood on his hands on multiple occasions, but it's a different feeling altogether when he was the one who hurt nem.

He'd do literally anything for nem, so when he hurts nem, he does a damn good job of it.

Mono: Hey, I know this is usually something that you don't want to have happen, but it is a thing where you revive dead party members via resurrection magicks. Do you think it'd be hot to, like, stab me in the throat and then pump me full of Egeiro and then Taurochole or whatever?

Alphy, trying to hide his erection: Absolutely not. I'm not doing that. You cannot get me to do that. *Is going to be thinking about that forever now*
