Happy Caturday #cats

Wife is finally awake so I can snuggle her a few minutes then pass over feeding the 7 abandoned week old kittens and sleep.

I'll let you know! Right now juggling time with a group of kittens that were abandoned at our shelter that have to be fed every two hours. It's why I haven't had much to say today, because the comments I have about whoever did that are unkind. But I think I want to do more! So far at least.

Did my first in game RP tonight at the Mystic Materia Oasis. It was very fun, even if I was a bit anxious. And for the three people that RPed with me, thank you.

Appreciate the work you're putting into it, have a few more pushpins. Don't mine the poptart crumbs.

It's such a hard place to be. I wouldn't wish it on anyone, but take it one day at a time. Find those small things. Hold onto them with your whole heart. It's so scary knowing what is coming, but that doesn't mean we forsake the good we have. I send you the best, friend.

Take care of yourself too. I am so sorry that you had to carry this weight in your life too, but I believe in you. If you ever need to talk, I'm here.

I just did the Dark Knight quest chain to level 50...

And I am...

No longer a bard main. Now to rehydrate.

And yes, I know it gets better, I've never seen it but I've read that DRK has the best class quest in game.

I'm not mad, I just have to explain to my IRL wife we're marrying an NB catgirl. We foster cats, we're lesbians, this is the obvious next step, clearly.

I may attempt to make Xelo a carrd tonight. I hope it's a lot of drag and click because if it requires more than that I'm in deep trouble.

Link to the song I think is just their song. I love Nightwish.

Write that thing. Pluck it outta your soul with rusty pliers. Hit the keyboard like it owes you money. Write whenever, wherever you can. Tell your story. Make the words dance. Whatever you want—a novel, a short story, an agent, a movie—it all starts with the writing.

Exactly how I feel every Thursday on paperwork days. May your AAAAAHHHHH!! be swiftly finished.

And to everyone here, thank you for being so positive and encouraging.

I don't discuss politics online, and while I have no intention to start, it's important for me to say my brother might still be here if politics had been different. And I fear for those in shoes like his.

Once Upon a December You were so pure. Truly. The world was just too damned dark for you. To this day I wish I had seen that before it was too late, before you burned so bright your light guttered out. I wish I had known ...

docs.google.com/document/d/1...

So I'll be sharing that document for those who wish to read on why I, December 8th, 2024, decided to start playing FFXIV.

As for what G'xelo has done that I didn't expect? Existed. And everything afterwards.

Document is in the next part of the thread.

I have no intention of sharing super specific details, namely because there are people - my parents - that I don't want to know anything about myself or my family, or anything I do.

This is also why I don't share IRL pictures or names of my spouse or son. However, over lunch break I finally wrote.

I haven't shared a lot about my personal life, aside from anecdotes.

I did mention that I watched a lot of the game played by my brother in another post.

December 8th, 2020, my brother took his own life. He suffered from schizophrenia, but for him, FFXIV was just his safe place.

I am VERY bad at technology and social media, and deleted my wol question. But it was basically:

What has your character done that you weren't planning on.

Sorry for deleting it, but here is my answer, of course, in a thread.

🧵

That is one of the 5 million things I have changed. Two weeks ago I wasn't even going to play this game, and now I've found a community of people I not only want to get to know, but that have inspired me to chase dreams I left behind.

Even if I don't know who I'll be shipping with yet.

Holy batmobile, Batman, the gamers liked the question!

Thank you all for answering. I will do my best to make sure I slap a heart on every single reply!

It's always so much joy to see people talk about their characters. I am working on my own answer, which is heavy and personal, but worth it.

WFH day means I get to listen to Nightwish while filing paperwork and checking budget propositions for the next quarter.

Listening to "Sleeping Sun" on repeat and wanting to gpose pictures of Xelo's journey. The lyrics, the voice. Perfection.

"I wish for this nighttime to last for a lifetime."

Man... y'all ever just look at your moots and go you're so cool but I am awkward as FUCK and have no idea how to interact with you :<

Tonight might be an early rest night. Regardless, going to plop the social media to the side and wish you all well. May your day or night go well.

Remain strong in your beliefs. Trust yourself, trust your heart, and be kind first to yourself, then to others.

Most of all, do no harm, take no shit.

I didn’t realize the sapphic was so strong here, that pleases me. Let’s go lesbians!

He got in trouble today at daycare for biting another kid, no harm done, he was just being playful, but bless my wife for the empathy on the urge to just bite people sometimes.

And for those worrying, yes, she has explained that it's bad, and that he will get in big trouble if he does it again.
