HELLO i am bri, your local ornithologist, here to show you that this beautiful little baby is based off a real bird that can be found in central america and mexico.
they are called resplendent quetzals and they are the national bird of guatemala!!!
I AM FUCKING SOBBINGโฆ. i meant this as a joke but
@Weather_Maiden
got me a cameo from
@The_Ben_Starr
reenacting the soup store meme to help cheer me upโฆ Ben I am so fucking sorry, my guy JDJABFKSNF
there are tears in my eyes holy shit
ngl if i was a mamool ja mom iโd be pissed if my egg hatched into a blessed sibling. thats two mouths to feed now. like bro. in this economy??? no me jodas
you ever get a bad feeling about a person that everyone seems to like but you just can't shake off the feeling that they are kind of an asshole. and you really wanna say something but you don't have any basis other than "idk man vibes are off"
people going to the xiv english VA tweets and being like โi will never play in englishโ or โi only play in japaneseโ is so weird to me. like okay? why are you telling them that? they donโt care? what are you providing here buddy?
Now that the embargo is lifted...
It is my greatest honor thus far to share with you that I am the voice of Gurfurlur, Hunmu Ruk, Zereel Ja, and yes...Koana, in

I have more to say below, but to start, THANK YOU
@SquareEnix
for what's been THE highlight of my career.
i sincerely will never understand what drives people to just shit on something constantly that they will pay for it and then continue. i donโt get why some people play xiv when they genuinely donโt enjoy the story or characters. i guess the gameplay? but is it worth a sub?
hey white people in xiv, instead of trying to use racism as a way of farming engagement, why donโt you do something actually useful and listen to bipoc folks instead and stop using whats happening as a means of gaining likes and rts. thanks.
DID HE REALLY SUGGEST WUK LAMAT BEING IN LOVE WITH THE WOL WOULD HAVE MADE IT BETTER?
he is such a fucking narcissist dude. the man wants everyone to be in love with him, even through video games. holy shit. i hate this guy so much i wish i never had to remember him lmao
im just gonna say this but the difference between how people who are from cultures that were colonized by white settlers reacting to meeting sphene versus how some white people reacted to meeting sphene is very interesting to me
if you feel the need to constantly tell people how much you hate wuk lamats voice/va and then try and tell me that you aren't transphobic, i'm sorry, but i am not gonna believe you lmao
sorry i hate being that person and everyone is like โyouโre no funโ but this shit means a lot to many of us and i hate seeing it reduced to, quite franky, โiโm not latin and therefore i donโt have to tryโ
also just gonna say here that if you think this isnt rooted in transphobia, dont even bother replying and trying to convince me otherwise because i will just block your ass!
idk man i'm getting so tired of the disrespect here lmao... it reminds me of when someone suddenly made their character afro-caribbean bc they found out i was hispanic and had dated afro-caribbean men in the past. like. please. be fucking normal about this shit lmao.
As summer comes to a close, and the air begins to chill, autumn slowly makes it's way, and with it, the celebration of a certain apothecary's birth.
Come celebrate the coming of fall and Lina's birthday with me over at Hyrstmill in the North Shroud on September 20th!
the internet has truly given room for people to comment inane unnecessary shit. if you dont play in english and have nothing to say about the english voice acting, why are you going on tweets and being like โWELL THIS IS HOW I PLAYโ like nobody fucking cares buddy
its been nice lately to have people not be weird about lina being half-garlean. not every garlean oc is a fascist and there are so many of us who actually build lore off of it without being imperialism sympathizers. i promise we exist.
idk. we all met her and idk how people did not get the off vibes immediately. heritage found and its people were so telling that something was up. and yet the amount of โif anything happens to sphene iโll kmsโ was astounding to me
how did you not get those off vibes from her?
Ahhh!! im so excited to share this c//mmission i got from
@LBY2K99
of Lina! she looks so perfect, i love it so much, the pose and expression are so good! thank you so much for drawing my girl so perfectly! ๐ญ๐ค
i am a very serious 30 year old woman with a salaried job, a 401k, and a mortgage
i also dress my final fantasy xiv character up as sonic the hedgehog characters with my friends and make stupid macros in game and embarrass myself in public
i am free

THANK YOU TO EVERYONE WHO CAME TO CELEBRATE LINA'S BDAY AT
#autumnequinoxap
!!! it was such a fun night... i love y'all so much. seeing everyone made me so happy ; w ;
OKAY. the discord is done for the most part. i'll be sending invites to mutuals only and i'm sorry if i don't send you one (it isn't personal i promise, i am sending it to people who actually wanna be there and are basically friends of mine)
if you want an invite, reply!
and not saying you cant like sphene bc i think she is a fantastic villain and her story was really interesting to me. but im still like ??? man.
to put it in my friends terms: thats not pookie bear, thats Queen Victoria.
gonna plug here that resplendent quetzal populations are in decline due to habitat loss/deforestation of montane cloud forests. they are a crucial species not only ecologically as seed distributers but also culturally as they are considered sacred symbols to indigenous peoples.
man just... with everything going on i literally cannot with socmed and xivtwt.
protect women. protect trans folks. listen to victims.
i'm a survivor of SA on multiple accounts. i have been in very awful statics where men have used gender against me and others.
fuck it its probably been asked but i am sleepy and gonna nap so i gotta know
#wolqotd
does your wol/oc take naps or are they anti-napping? do they like their naps to be at certain times/places? with others?
all you need to know about playing viper is:
- start w dread fangs to apply noxious gnash
- do your dreadwinder combo and apply your hunters instinct and then swiftskin
- make sure noxious gnash is always up (dread combos)
- your instincts should always be up
- follow combo ants
IMPROMPTU MARSH ART PARTY!
I leave for field season to study sparrows in the marsh on and off for the next three months soon, SO LETS HAVE A PARTY~
details in ๐งตbelow!:
i think i need to make it clear that i know people can play and criticize the game. i constantly have criticized xiv in the past. criticism is fine! iโm talking about people who only seem to have hate and vitriol for the game itself and yet still play for whatever reason.
im off lock after i talked my thoughts through and did some personal reflection. im not gonna let gross weirdos get the best of me, but my dms are now closed. i dont anticipate opening them to anyone but people i follow again. this is for my own sake and sanity.
โจ๏ธHOT SPRINGS PARTY ROUND 2 ELECTRIC BOOGALOO BEFORE DAWNTRAIL!โจ๏ธ
DT is upon us! Since maintenance starts on Wednesday, I wanted to throw a final hurrah! So let's go back to the Bokaisen Hot Springs and party until we all say goodbye and hello to Dawntrail!
idk im latina and white passing so i cannot speak for others especially poc, indigenous and other latam folks. but ive noticed a trend and its just pretty interesting to me. i think our experiences really do impact how we view specific media.
