On FFXIVSwap...

So @sasslett/Jess has been shadowbanned for the moment. I guess tumblr can't tell the difference between spam and community building exercises...

Direct contact with Jess is Jess Varlineau on discord. She is setting up a discord channel as I type this, which we may have to rely on moving forward.

Reblogs on this would be nice! Thanks!

my fav thing about having ocs is having a basic line of lore for them but as soon as someone asks me about them I completely bullshit everything I tell them. Yeah this wasn't true like 5 minutes ago but now it is

Wondering, as I answer asks and prompts for their history, if I'm contradicting a previous answer in which I also made shit up on the spot, but forgot.

I have done some major restructuring of backstory that required some minor retcons.

All because a casual IC conversation made puzzle pieces click into place that didn't quite fit before when past events went slightly different.

It happens. RP is a very dynamic form of fiction. :)

-looks silently at the five various Tumblr drafts of 5K words each-

And then you have to rapidly take notes so you don’t forget these Very Important Background Details that just appeared in a single RP out of the blue that didn’t come up in a year or more of other RP but which this single character interaction somehow brought up.

MOST FUCKABLE FFXIV LADY FINAL ROUND 👑

@khepri-sunscale and I wanted to get started on Au Ra August early and put together a prompt list just in case! Feel free to use if you feel inspired!

Mechanics

Maybe incredibly esoteric but I just love the weird names people give mechs

If you got any please share they're very fun to read

Fiance and I call any mechanic that involves swapping sides repeatedly "do-si-do" or "hokey pokey"

Whenever I move far away from the group: "I'll be over here if you need me" (sometimes "fuckety-bye" if I'm using Displacement).

When a tank buster doesn't hurt due to overleveling, we call it a tank tickle.

Doing a back-to-back melee rotation on red mage is called a "verwombo-combo"

PS: @ashenbun "welcome to quarantine ;)"

QUARANTINEEE.

That evolved into just any stand by yourself mechanic.

Though, sometimes it's "Stinky. Fuck off."

The stack mechanic is usually a screech of DONT YOU FUCKIN RUN YOU HO

When teaching someone mechanics, I tell them “you’re my ass warmer, this means you stay glued to my ass” and this results in shrieks of “MY ASS IS COLD! MY ASS IS COLD!!” if said person is standing in a mechanic’s path as opposed to the safe spot.

I writing evil or nearly evil characters more fun than writing good guys. I’m sick of feeling like people are going to judge me for my characters. I have a right to rp what I want and explain my characters actions, but not try to justify them. Because I know why a character acts a certain way doesn’t mean I think they are excused. The world isn’t black and white.
