With the end of summer upon us, It's time to take a break and come together for some spirits and company. Join us tonight for open world, walk up role-play out at Buscarron's Druthers in the South Shroud of Mateus. There are always new faces to meet and new stories to tell. #ffxiv #ffxivrp

A pair Xalea and a duo of Miqote sit within Buscarron's Druthers. The warmth of the fire gives comfort when the rains had recently finished outside.

We did a "character from a hat" bit in our RP 201 panel at #dragoncon2026 to showcase, in a brief way, how we turn concepts into characters. I can't stop thinking about the blind Au Ra optometrist, in Ul'dah and his associate namazu hairdresser we were promoted with. Time to level a Xaela now.

Aurora over Raisting Earth Station with Moon - From Simeon Schmauß (stim3on.bsky.social) - flic.kr/p/2pQoiDV

What a crazy night, we went into it not expecting much since the solar storm was forecast for after sunrise in central Europe.
However, before the sun had even set, I got the alert that the first CME had impacted Earth, so the chances immediately looked a lot better. What then unfolded surpassed even our wildest expectations.
We ended up driving to this satellite ground station south of Ammersee in southern Bavaria and just when we arrived we spotted the first diffuse pillars north of us.
We experienced three waves of incredibly strong Aurora, especially for our rather Southern latitude. During the second wave we saw individual pulsating filaments dancing over our heads. What a breathtaking experience!

Many thanks to Christopher for accompanying me on this adventure, Max for being an all round great guy, and Sebastian who lent me his wide angle lenses that made these shots possible.

Maybe you don't want to spend $12. Maybe you're a little stubborn. Maybe you just like having options. You're in luck. 🧵 An excessive thread on how Zero's Luminary Attire compares to the (mostly) Heavensward-era gear it's based on. Not quite sure who I made this for, but it was fun.

Belle fell in love. When Beast realised, he raged, which made him realise he, too, had fallen. He could not, and would not, compete. He respected her choice. As the last petal fell from the Rose he sighed. His servant would not become human again, but would forever remain Library.
