did somebody order CONVOCATION GLYPHS 🗣️💯
Ktisis Hyperboreia... Yet again.
(On our today's run The Most Honorable Emet-Selch of the Convocation of Fourteen decided that he has much more important things to do than dungeon mechanics... and ignored almost every stack-up marker)
cute ffxiv villain picmixes for your myspace :)
They found a snowman that looks like Emet-Selch!
Do you ever think about how Emet-Selch's own rhetoric about the sundered world was the same one that caused the Final Days? The one that caused him to lose everything? He judged the sundered world. The people. Found them unworthy to exist. And eons ago someone else judged his world, his people and found them unworthy to exist.
How dare these malformed creatures exist? How dare they move on? While his own brethren have perished? And isn't what the Endsinger says? How dare the people of our star exist while so many civilizations perished? How dare we hope? To move on?
And that's why him saying "You will not end our journey!" is so important.
ffxiv really is just an oc maker that happens to be prepackaged with a jrpg mmo. after playing it for long enough you automatically sign a waiver saying you are now emotionally attached to this jrpg protagonist you made up. and you are

Happy Halloween! Here's Emet-Selch getting his face accidentally shoved into his wife's massive honkers as an excuse to gpose a goofy face on him.

Tama is boss
THE TRAINS HAVE CARTOON TAMAS ON THEM
Sad update everyone, Tama recently passed away… An estimated 3,000 people, including railway officials, attended Tama the cat’s funeral on Sunday, days after she died of heart failure aged 16. [x]
For those who haven’t read articles about it, the local shrine elevated her to a god. She’s now the Eternal Stationmaster and patron god of the station.
Beautiful.
Now I’m crying thanks
and a new cat was hired right?
yep! her name is Nitama (essentially ”second tama” or “tama II”) and she served under Tama as an apprentice before being appointed her deputy
she works very hard
Everytime this crosses my dash, I reblog. It is the law.
I’m crying at 11pm over train cats
Nitama, already now a mature cat (born 2010), has a protege named Yontama (fourth Tama, b. 2016). There is no information available for either the physical befellment or tragic self-disgrace which has removed Santama from contention.
^Nitama majestic, and below with Yontama
Yontama.
a legacy
okay but actually what happened to santama (or sun-tama-tama, which is her name because it’s a pun on santama) was that she was basically sent to train for the position in okayama and they liked her so much they refused to send her back
“Sun-tama-tama” (a pun off of “Santama”, lit. “third Tama”) was a calico cat sent for training in Okayama. Sun-tama-tama was considered as a candidate for Tama’s successor, but the Okayama Public Relations representative who had been caring for Sun-tama-tama refused to give the cat up writing, “I will not let go of this child, she will stay in Okayama.” [25]
As of September 2018, Sun-tama-tama is working as the stationmaster in Naka-ku, Okayama and appears occasionally on Tama’s Twitter account.
Every time I see this post there’s new info and it gets better
You are only allowed to scroll pass this after you pay tribute to the great Tama Station masters.
The shrine of Tama Daimyōjin (Great gracious deity Tama), next to the Kishi station where she worked.
Nitama presenting her yearly offerings to Tama Daimyōjin on the anniversary of Tama’s Death, June 23 (The offerings are presented by the company president, as Nitama is a cat and thus can’t hold the offerings herself) (Not pictured, but also present, Yontama)
you cannot pass without reblogging guys. i’m sorry, i don’t make the rules.
You can’t not reblog a goddess. It’s just what’s so. :)
So, fun fact- the manga Noragami has an arc where the main character, Yato (a minor kami/God that is down on his luck but trying to make it big time) goes to a council/conference for all the Gods in Japan.
And they are announcing the winner of the “up and coming god” award, and of course, Yato thinks it’s him.
But no-
ITS TAMA!
Always reblogging this.
Shintoism is such a neat belief structure to me - I was raised Catholic and there’s this constant sense that it’s functionally a solved system; the dogma is established and except for a new saint now and then it’s done growing.
The idea that you can elevate a new god is really nice, there’s something vital and living within that concept; that belief can and will grow with the world around it.
Genuinely bless any religion in which “we promoted this very nice cat to the status of god” is a thing that not only can theoretically happen, but isn’t even controversial or weird when it does
Waiting for people to fuck up so you can cancel them, gatekeeping, communities self-policing to the point of self-destruction, debating each other's validity, communities infighting over terminology, fighting over the Best way to exist, trying to define what a Bad Community Member is/does, vilifying those people.
Besties I think we fucked up and internalized the surveillance state or the omni-present judgment of god or purity culture or perhaps just maybe all 3
Yeah
idc if twitter gets deleted tomorrow but the fact that one of the most important and widely used social media sites on the planet is on life support because some dumb asshole has too much money to ever be told 'no' is so dystopian. like it doesn't even matter how universal and culturally entrenched something is, if a rich guy with zero common sense wants to fuck with it then he can easily do so
you want my hot take for the evening? people who dont like complainers just havent been exposed to good complaining, and will never know if they themselves have an inborn talent for the art of kvetching
good complaining is some combination of a) funny, b) animated and theatrical, c) insightful re: human foibles, d) inquiry into social trends and norms.it must ALWAYS involve at least a small degree of self awareness, and is often used to build camaraderie and maintain relationships.

Look at this point if something in a TV show feels off, my first, immediate response is, "who in the corporate office fucked them over?"
Wonky writing? Something feels rushed? Animation errors? First question should be, "Who was fucking over the production team? What were the censorship notes? Was this what the team actually wanted to do, or were they strong-armed?"
I think a lot of y'all are way too fast to blame the writers and animators for issues that wouldn't exist if the studio executives and the censors weren't fucking it up for everyone.
Pay the writers. Pay the actors. Pay the animators. And for god's sake, stop blaming them for industry-wide issues that the unions are actively trying to fight against.
I think Hythlodaeus would love being a Blue Mage tbh.
He already is very passionate about concepts and creations, he ran a whole bureau about it for who knows how long, and now he gets to try some of those abilities for himself? He'd have A BLAST with it!
WoL grabs his hand and runs with him toward the nearest apkallu in Eastern La Noscea like "oh you GOTTA learn this spell first thing!"
these pictures of slenderman at dashcon will forever be like my favorite thing ever
some of y’all have only seen like one picture of dashcon before and it really shows YES THERE WAS A BOUNCE HOUSE TOO!!!!
Hi!
I just stumbled onto Familiar Familiar on AO3 and have been reading it the last few days. It's a brilliant concept and I've been incredibly invested! I don't know if/when you plan to update it, but I wanted to thank you for the excellent bedtime reading I've had these past nights ❤️
OH MY GOSH THANK YOUUUUU!! 😭🙏💗 I'd been a bit unmotivated these last few months trying to untangle a slower bit that needed getting thru while still trying to figure out how to keep it engaging, and then I got a mean comment on it which also killed my motivation for a time, but I still have so many scenes in my head that need releasing in that fic, so I do want to get back to it!
