Butts 'n Stuff

if you're ok with an incessant amount of boops reblog this so I can get those other 2 badges <3

Whenever people talk about funny lore facts about ffxiv, it's always the "guns are named that because they're blade-less gunblades" thing, so let's share some more fun facts about this crazy-ass setting:

-The word "War" is derived from a demonym, just like "Vandalize" comes from the vandal people that sacked rome. There was a tribe called the Warriors who were so good at fighting that the word for someone who fights good came from their name, and "having a really big fight" was named after that.

-The people of Eorzea use chocobos instead of horses because horses aren't native to the continent. --Unicorns were, but they were hunted to extinction.

-The reason ffxiv uses a different spell naming convention than other final fantasy games ("Fire II" instead of "Fira" for example) is that they used to use the old system, but the amdapori ruling council got tired of having to come up with new names whenever someone invents a more powerful version of a spell, so they passed a law enforcing a numerical system instead.

-The Viera have no sexual dimorphism until puberty, and treat males not as a different sex or gender, but basically as divinely appointed super soldiers.

-Each of the Seeker tribes actually have a totem animal, usually one that shares the first letter with that tribe. For example the Y are the Jaguar tribe, and the G are the Gryhpon tribe. There are also a Dodo tribe (D) and a Marmot tribe (M).

-Certain Keeper tribe names are said to have originated in the first astral era, meaning there are keepers out there with family histories stretching back over 10.000 years.

-Dunesfolk used to be nomadic, and built their homes on the backs of adamantoises.

-Dragons are from outer space.

Saw a post like this with negative outlook so I asked for it to be fixed

BTW I think we should focus more on Embracer deliberately picking the last day of the month to shut down Volition so they wouldn't have to pay for their health insurance for September

And not to mention announcing this exactly the moment Starfield embargo ended, hoping that the hype and news coverage of Starfield would bury the news that they shut down one of their more popular studios

BTW reboot wasn't even selling poorly and was predicted to be "decently profitable".

The reason they decided to fire 200+ devs wasn't because of reboot's failure, but because they were supposed to have a deal with Saudi Arabia that fell through, so now they gotta fire thousands of employees to make up for the fact that they lost billions in acquiring studios cause they counted on earning back that money from Saudi Arabia deal.

Volition is the 2nd studio Embracer shut down this month, and Gearbox was also hit by massive layoffs cause of Embracer.

Gotta love monopolies!

Finished commission for @sunnyeel of their boy Memory!

big nasty is here 👀👀 wonderful art by @mabaki !

a horrid lack of mullets among my gw2 ocs 🤨🤨🤨 need to fix that posthaste ✂

update btw

So I did some work on Adam for @joasakura because I’m on an alien kick and she wanted to see what I could do with him. I basically made him 50x fuzzier and his ears look a little different. There’s a second one for a size reference to Tiff the Tiny Alien. He’s so big y’all

and fuzzy

SCREAMING

Giant alien show cat vs. tiny alien sand dolphin XD 

THANK YOU SO MUCH

So excited to share once again the delightful art fab did for me of Adam (and their Tiff) if they were in their native forms and not as the humanoid chaos gremlins they are on earth.

Or, as my dear @writerofblocks likes to call him “giant neon throw rug”

(Seen here stealing eggs from Bridget)

It’s him, my favorite menace XD

(And I maintain my descriptor, he is a throw rug)

I was. so confused for like 30 full seconds on how my own art showed up on my dashboard years after I drew it and then realized who was reblogging it. I still love those goofballs

Small interaction between Vorias and @mab-aki ‘s salad boi,only bc they dared interact with me.
