sorry to keep harping but the thing is. like. people pretty much universally have profoundly complex and richly textured lives outside of the internet. like everyone you'll ever meet will have their share of complicated relationships, personal struggles, identity issues, et cetera. and these people will likely have deep inner lives and senses of self that an outsider is not easily privy to yk. but then you get all these Posters with a superiority complex who log into the fandom blogging website, see a fandom blogger blogging about fandom, and for some reason forget that other human beings have a rich inner world and assume that this little niche interest site somehow represents the totality of the fandom blogger's life and that they can deduce some sort of damning portrait of a Life Consumed by Media from the fact that they sometimes blog about fandom on the fandom blogging website. and then they make stupid ass posts like the aforementioned. it's so pretentious and self important and mean spirited with zero substance. Banished to the salt mines for 10000 years

*stands in a bowling alley angrily tapping my foot as I notice everyone around me doing nothing but bowling* it's so fucked up how obsessed with bowling everyone is. nobody has an identity outside bowling. these people must have no sense of self when they aren't bowling. unlike me... if only I could write some sort of post to enlighten these poor fools...

FFXIV JOBSTONES: DAWNTRAIL

reblog for sample size !!

one of the most infuriating things about becoming an adult is when you realize that it actually is 10x easier to solve problems by making a phone call vs literally any other communication method

it's kinda comforting to me when my friends are a little annoying or longwinded or abrasive or tired and inarticulate, or they don't do the exact politest thing in every interaction, and stuff, because I know I'm sometimes annoying, or take up a more than my share of conversational space, or forget to ask them questions, etc etc, and... like, I'm always working to be nice to my friends and to get better and better at friend-ing, but it just makes me feel more human about it :}

anyway I love you friends plz know I'm not counting, in fact I feel great affection toward you even (especially) when conversations go less than Perfectly Ideal

I'm not proud to say it but this line from a 60 year old detective novel made me re-think some things about friendship

This is what Radaway was made for

Radaway, ladies and gents 🤌

I made playlists for Ena💕

You can hear them on hear👇

If you don't use Spotify, I also made youtube versions too

The Radiant is her normal title, but The Dying Ember is when she was very traumatized. Especially when after she met the Ivory wraith on the blood moon, or captured by Eden, sent to underground farm and underground brothel, asylum etc.

These two have a structure that circulates with each other. She can be The Dying Ember, but also can return to The Radiant.

As long as her love is with her, she can be strong again

this doesnt seem like a popular opinion on here but sometimes i like when characters die. sometimes its needed to raise the stakes and sometimes its the end best befitting of the character and sometimes its needed to move the narrative forward and sometimes its the only way a character would believably leave their story behind and sometimes it just spices things up a bit. sometimes its fun to watch characters die . sorry
