Friendly reminder that purity culture kills your ocs.
Make your ocs ProblematicTM. Drown them in problematic traits. Let them make mistakes. Let them be terrible people.
Let them either grow or fall further into the pit. You and your readers/roleplay buddies/friends will thank you for it later.
The lalafell hate amuses me every time I hear about it on my dash.
Reblog this if you’re okay with people sending unexpected IC asks to your muse at any time! No meme prompts needed!
Filled with papers, the desk stands idle...but not for long.
Rhalgara, clad in dark blue informal garb, hopped up onto his desk. Cleaning up his hunting marks, he pulled out his journal and, with a smile, began to write.
Send “Rumour has it...” and a rumour about my muse in my ask!
My muse will then react to it being spread.
@thefreshpawofeorzea said these two are one in the same and I can’t even argue that. xD
BEST FUCKING ADDITION I’M CHOKING
Has anyone seen Peachie Momo?
Hey so…this is out of great concern, but has anyone seen or heard from Momo within the last few months?
She’s the Lalafell on the right. I know some things were turning south for her from some of the posts she wrote on her tumblr, but…I just want to know if everything is okay. I’ve asked around, but it seems like all of her accounts have been deleted, and several other people are also wondering where she’s gone. I vaguely remember a post she made on Tumblr a few weeks ago that was…to say it bluntly, concerning. I wanted to reach out to her more, but I was unable to at that time, and now….fuck. I truely hope she’s okay, because she’s very loved here in the Lalafellin and FFXIV community. I just– wanted to reach out beyond my friend circle to see if anyone has any clue as to what happened. Please let me know if you or someone else knows where she’s gone. Thank you ♡
Boosting this!! If anyone has had any type of contact with her, please let her know that she is cared for and that folks are worried about her!
Posting a chapter of a story you haven’t updated in ages
I feel like I should apologize to all of you.
I just hit 700 followers, and tbh, I don’t feel like I deserve any of them.
I don’t do anything particularly interesting. I don’t bombard people with my characters b/c I respect people’s freedom of choice, and I suffer for that. I just post screenshots and maybe some stories and hope for the best.
I’m not a good friend, I’m not a good RPer or RP partner, I’m not a good ANYTHING. I don’t have anything interesting to offer, so I honestly feel like I failed you guys.
I’m sorry I’m not as cool as I make myself out to be. You followed what you thought would be someone dope and instead got a sack of trash who likes Strawberry Dr. Pepper a bit more than she likes to admit and simply loves sharing her characters b/c it’s all she’s good for. I should also apologise for this sad post on your timeline. I’m not having a good night tonight.
I’m truly sorry, everyone.
You’ve got nothing to apologize for, Trish.
The questions and asks that you’ve gotten; they haven’t just been for your chars, they’ve been for you as well. And come to you you on their own volition, they have.
You are a good friend, Trishelle; people have not only liked what you provided, but they’ve gotten a chance to talk with you because of genuine curiosity, because of a genuine want.
And hey, I could imagine you’ve gotten a LOT of people into RPing in XIV, or helped enhance their enjoyment out of it, both here n’ in game. I know I’m one of em ^^
Cool or otherwise, you’re not just an RPer, you’re a person as well. And hey, we as people aren’t perfect beings, but we try :)

Important PSA
I see you all as -people- not rp vending machines.
So if you ever want to not rp with me, stop a storyline, have me reign in my level of interaction with you.
Just say so and it will be done, no questions asked no strings attached.
Your comfort matters.
You matter.
I remember that someone told me once that “If someone doesn’t want to RP with you, then they shouldn’t have to report to you.” That statement is something is something I will NEVER agree with, and I know I’m not crazy to not agree with it when I see posts like the one above.
No one is ever above giving another human being the common courtesy of kindness.
If you are an RPblog/RPer, please read this.
I read this and failed miserably in trying to hold back tears. I immediately thought of my babies, how I brought them and their stories to life, and my heart just filled with such an immense amount of warmth.
If nothing else, I live for them, b/c the joy in getting to write their journies is glorious.
✚ - Bandaging their wound
“This is why you should check your surroundings BEFORE opening chests, Rhal. You’re a hunter, you know the wilds are dangerous! Now hold still.” Trishelle’s voice was stern, but grateful that he wasn’t seriously wounded by the sanwa that attacked them.
“I know, it just caught me off-NGH!” He gritted his teeth as he felt the pressure of the bandage tighten around his wound. His grimace formed into a small, sheepish smile as he watched her finish up bandaging his arm. It’d been one of the few times she’s joined him on a hunt, especially one involving buried treasure. He was grateful to his friend for coming along, bringing along her thamaturgical expertise and skill with binding wounds. After she cleaned it off, she sighed and looked back up at him. “There; took a bit, but it’s done. That was the last map?”“Aye, that it was; now to buy anot-”“Rhal…”
“Fine, fine; I’ll let it rest.” As he and Trishelle walked towards the edge of the island before calling their mounts, he placed his hand on her shoulder, a small, yet appreciative grin on his face.. “Thanks, Trish.”
