Another screencap from Final Fantasy XIV of 8 players posing around a downed Tyrant. About half the party is congregated around a male Au Ra collapsed on the ground. Naughty cat who did not press LB3.

big fan of The Women In The Sea Will Kill You conceptually so this opening is just insane to me

Screencap of lyrics:

Open oceans, crushing waters,
deep regrets of mothers daughters
open rifts, to cast adrift a
ghost ship sinking,
abyssal dreaming
to sleep, to fall on a safe shore...

A screencap of my Warrior of Light, a pink-haired Miqo'te man, from Final Fantasy XIV. He has a somewhat severe expression, particularly in his narrowed eyes and implied furrowed brow (concealed by large heavy-rimmed glasses).

not my ass getting blindsided by CLOUD STRIFE

An image of a result from the Final Fantasy Soul Resonance quiz going around. It reads:

Your FF Soul Type
Cloud Strife
94 (Top 3%) Resonance Score

You are someone who keeps standing even while broken.
Your memories have lied to you—they always have—
yet the hand that grips the sword never wavers.
You learned long ago to carry pain alone,
to build walls so high that even you forgot what's behind them.
But something moves in you before thought can stop it:
when someone falls, you are already there.
That contradiction—the distance you keep, the fights you take—
is not emptiness. It is the shape of someone
who refuses to stop caring, no matter the cost.
The real battle was never against Sephiroth.
It was against the voice that said you were no one.
You are not no one.
You never were.

SOUL QUOTE
「If not me, then who」

RESONANCE MUSIC
▶ Those Who Fight Further

HONESTLYYY so many ppl around me after twitter went Full Nazi Bar expressed that they would rather just. quit socmed than have to move all their shit again. in light of whatever the hell this is, even i'm like "bro if this ship goes down i think i'm just going to log off"

excerpt from an article about bsky's current moderation snafu:

"[...] they can deal with that. You're driving them to quit social media entirely and retreat into more private forms of online communication."

row 1: final fantasy x, lost odyssey, fire emblem path of radiance, pathologic 2, the elder scrolls iv: oblivion

the same pink-haired catboy as the prior post, this time with shorter hair and windswept bangs. he is wearing large, rectangular black glasses, fingerless gloves, and a black jacket with an unbuttoned collar over a white shirt. there's a large sword strapped to his back.

"It's not a crime to take a break, little star." i should do post-processing on this but i'm already late for maid day so just take it with the last of my finals week energy #lachyrail #serenbraid #gposers #maidday

Two dragon boys in maid dresses are on regal, marble steps. One of them, blue-skinned with shoulder-length blue hair and a long blue apron dress, has his hand on his hip and is holding a broom with the other. He's slightly above the other boy on the steps and looking down at him.

The other dragon boy is pale with longer blonde-silver hair. The camera is peering over the stair bannister, so he's only visible from the waist up. He appears to be sitting, and is wearing a more decorated, frilly maid dress in pastel yellow.

A close-up of the boy in the yellow maid dress sitting on the steps. He's looking up at the camera with a small smile and an open hand, as if in conversation. The hem of his skirt cuts off at the knees.

A close up of the boy further up on the steps, looking down at the camera with a furrowed brow and pursed lips.
