Lalafell - Tumblr Posts
Over the weekend, I decided to try out the Cloud Data Center stress test that happened on Final Fantasy XIV this week. I made a little comic about the shitpost character I made on there.
As for my experience on the DC itself, It was certainly... an interesting experience and makes me both want to check out and stay the hell away from the NA Data Centers after what I saw in Limsa in Cloudtest 1.
I'm thinking of making some more doodles of my friends and I fecking around on there along with the shit I've seen on Limsa. Maybe I'll even get around to make one of those sideblog yolks for just FF stuff. (Mostly XIV stuff but also for other FF games I'm playing too)
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*
You know, I've been writing a lot of fics where Alphy absolutely rails Mono, but I have a little fic idea tumbling around in my head where it's just him and Saie hanging out in the new manor after Mono finished building it, and being too scared to go into the basement because of an ominous red glow and a horrific noise neither one of them can describe.
"You know, there isn't a zero per cent chance that Mono has a voidsent in there."
It's literally just the boiler.
And later Mono's like, "I'm so glad you two are getting along, but you're both the dumbest people I've ever met. Also, luv, your immigration papers are down there, and I'm not getting them out for you. Good luck, ya baby."
Mono: *Decks the house out with magitek*
Alphy and/or Saie: "WHAT IS THIS?"
There literally isn't anything funnier than them losing their minds over a toaster oven.
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."
"I'm going to say, 'I love you,' because that's easier on me, and I have to say how I feel to you—and I know you know that—but I'm going to be honest with you. I don't think I love, not like that, so what I really mean is that, 'I'm fond of you; I cherish you; you're very special to me'. I want you to understand that I don't quite 'love' you, but I do, in some kind of way."
"I know."
"You're not bothered by that?"
"Why would I be?"
People are going to read that and then immediately ignore what that means, aren't they?
Me: *writes a very complicated non-traditional relationship between two characters that is very explicitly laid out is that way because one of the characters is anattractional and, while sex-/romance-neutral, is mainly looking for someone to co-parent with, but that same character is neurodivergent and follows their religion's rules on dating and marriage because they're clearly defined and makes it easy on them, and their queerplatonic partner isn't on their radar for marriage because he's not the same religion and interfaith marriages aren't allowed, but also explicitly stops looking for a husband because none of the men they talked to would allow them to continue the partnership they have and that's more important to them than any theoretical husband, and then they end up getting married because the partner converts and they have a, "Hey, wait a minute," moment, and they agree to have a "traditional" relationship from then on but with the explicit acknowledgement that they're still more (queer)platonic than anything*
Also me: People are going to read all that and still think they're in a typical sex-/romance-positive allo relationship, aren't they?
Of Trolls and Head Injuries
This is set sometime between 6.0 and 6.1. Mono got seriously injured at the end of Endwalker, so the time between 6.0 and 6.1 is about a year.
I normally read and write very kinky smutfic, so I wanted to try my hand at something else entirely. I want to do more of these types of fics.
Everything you need to know about these two is that Mono is constantly throwing nemself headfirst into literally everything, it doesn't matter what it is, and Alphinaud frets about nem the entire time. And then uses anything as an excuse to baby nem afterwards. They also constantly bumble over each other but that's something else entirely.
Mono uses ne/nem/nir pronouns, but ne also uses they/them, he/him, or she/her, so if you're having a hard time conjugating nir pronouns, you can use one of those.
Enjoy!
You can also find me on Aethy.
>>>Read on AO3<<<
Mono likes to sit down outside and stim using nir magic. Usually ne likes to use nir starglobe, because Astrologian spells are peak Autism for nem, and also watching it spin around makes nem go brrrrr, but ne will also build up Requiescat so ne can do a Confiteor/Blade of Faith combo.
Yes, Alisaie often misinterprets nem stimming for training, and Alphinaud often has to tell her, "No, ne isn't training, ne's just doing that because it makes nem happy."
And her impatient arse is always like, "??? What are you talking about?"
Alisaie: "Listen, if Mono spends so much time training, then I have a lot to catch up on."
Mono: "Ooo hoo hoo hoo, pretty colours. 🤩"
I do also find it interesting that it's canonical that any abilities learnt after level 70 are all made up by the WoL. But a general theme around those abilities regardless of Job is repentance, self-sacrifice, fury, lots of heavenly/divine stuff, and it's like... Is the WoL okay?
But also in my head, thinking about Mono prattling on about Confiteor (Latin for "I confess"), and Alphinaud following nem around the house like, "Bubby? Bubala, are you okay? I don't think you're okay," is just so funny to me.
Mono: "This move is so cool."
Alphinaud: "I am worried for your mental health."
My lala Chupee,inspired by Cupid,he is a jealous troublemaker :D
another gaia client i got to work with twice for their lala oc !!
another lala OC!! a premonition, i got to do this a few months before i fell in the ffxiv hole
His face, once familiar, now seemed a strange and painful memory... (The original art of mine and @fernosaur‘s FFXIV characters was drawn by him, but I coloured it and really like it!)
Some more FFXIV portraits for folks who are leaving the static for one reason or another!! Gonna miss these beans.
So everybody remember this terrifying bedtime story?
Which Squeenix then followed up with this SCP internee?
Well we got another one.
What an adorable abomination.
Oh gods. Oh Gods! Please tell me it's modded and the accursed popotoes don't naturally have fangs. They do not need them!
gonna try my hand at this tumblr thing too!
I love having lalafell tanks because at first I always can't find them and it takes me a second before my brain goes "oh look for the small scurrying thing" and then my brain finally processes where they are
Giott my beloved
I made these period cramp YCH emotes for my ffxiv FC about a week ago and I still love them 🤣
