I like writing about women, weak and strong, pathetic and heroic. I like writing about men, ditto. And all the variants of men and women, beasts and demons. ~ Tanith Lee
Hi!
Walk with us through Eorzea
Worlds apart, thousands live their lives. Some briefly, others extending their years far beyond what they should. Some happily, others awash in tears. There are good and evil, noble and selfish, timid and foolhardy amongst us all. {FFXIV Main; Anon is ON --

Blog Guide for the Unwary

Individual Characters:
  (I mean I have… a LOT of them but these are the four main girls)

image

C'allie Kyho: a Seeker of the Sun raised tribal-style and believes every “nunh” is a failure, save her father C’kyho. Her life is full, due to her being polyamorous with four spouses and one “side piece,” as well as dealing with a growing collection of children and one fat fuck of a cat.

Annalei d’Latu: a Veena Viera psychopathic murderous bitchbunny extraordinare who lusts after magical mastery, blood, aether, and mint desserts. (Not necessarily in that order.) She’s viciously married, easily angered and quick to violence. So she’s quite the catch!

~  Carrd, Blog, Tag 
   –Seifer d’Latu (Anna’s IC husband, played by my OOC husband)

Summer Bellmayne: a mystel raised in Il Mheg by the pixies with who makes a very, very comfortable living writing overblown romance novels. Rather like her fae relatives, she’s capricious and cruel and cheerful and friendly. 

Carrd, Tag

Esti Kyton: a Seeker of the Sun raised… on the edges of a thriving tribe, she went from the frying pan to the fire when she left home. An aerial acrobat, a barista, a gentle heart, and a wounded soul, she just wants to be at peace. Perhaps one day.

Other Subjects: 

Rogues’ Gallery Carrd 
  (Look, I make a lot of alts for Discord RP I might as well have a place to list them, right? This has the ones like Leti-Mao and Pythia and Ilya.)

Angel’s Warrior of Light AU
 (I was fine not having a WoL until Endwalker punched me in the face, so now I have Meli Iliakos and her “Scions of the Seventh Noonish” adventuring friends who’ve been fighting alongside her and the ACTUAL Scions since their first encounter with Titan.)

Screenshots 
  (So, so many screenshots…)

Landscapes 
  (Eorzean scenery!)

Asks/Replies

OOC Blather

I’m Angel! I play FFXIV (Mateus on the Crystal Data Center) and spend a good 90% of my time in the game stuck in GPose. I work graveyard shifts, so I’m not a member of any RP FCs (alas!) and honestly, in game RP is a thing of the past 99% of the time. I’m married to Seifer d’Latu’s player, spend most of my time consuming books, love horror movies and good stories. I promise I only bite my husband, so feel free to wave at me if you see me in game (probably on Anna) or ping me if you just want someone to chat with!

It’d been the delight of his life to show her the beauty of his home. And a memory he disliked greatly now, for it’d become so mingled with horrors that even he looked on the landscape with sadness.

‘I did this to myself, I did this to myself’ is what I chant over and over again as I go through five Tumblr drafts, one (badly outdated) Carrd, several family tree diagrams, three folders of screenshots, five separate Discord servers/RP archives, and a handful of Notepad files to try and organize this gods damned tribe.

…so… so many Kyhos to add… so many notes to compile…


It's been a bit since we did a headcount, kupo! Especially in the wake of social media being weird; this might serve as a good way for people to connect with each other. Please like and reblog this post if you are an active Final Fantasy XIV blog focusing on one (or more) of the following: roleplay, writing & worldbuilding.

It does not matter how active you are at all three, only that you participate in some of it and would like to follow more likeminded people.

The bigger this post gets, the more people can have a look through and follow people they like the look of! You can also use the reblogs to give a little blurb about yourself or even make you're own separate post tagging @mooglemeet that I will reblog for extra traction!

This headcount was posted 8/19/2023, to help gauge overall activity of users on it!

Waiting for clients involved hours of tedium. Leti-Mao usually didn’t mind, but on some particularly lengthy nights, it felt as if she could feel every minute aging on her skin.

She is your student and you are the master. Though that relationship is sacred and meant to be respected, it is time to transition from that and see her as your betrothed. You and I both know that I do not expect you to suddenly fall in love with her Hayate, for that shift in dynamic will take time, but time is what this relationship between you two will grant her. To extend her life is a boon that I will gift her.

She has never known love, and for someone like her, who has seen her share of demise and deaths, who manipulates the world around her, it is best to keep her away from others who would utilize her for their own purposes.

Even merchants can not be trustworthy, he has proven that. I indulged her whimsy because I am a sentimental man, I took on the contract because she asked this of me. However..

..if he were to fall, to be killed because she could not protect him, because he could not protect himself, it would break her heart and cause her spirit to wilt.

I refuse to lose another daughter to grief.

Treat her delicately, like a work of art. You already harbor care for her in your heart, show it to her more than before. Keep her company while he is overseas; I give you permission to take to the markets, to the theaters for her favorite plays, continue to train her, keep her distracted. Allow the public to see you both together.

Let her forget him, her heart will mend, for time and your company will ease the aches that she will endure.

I will deal with her ire, and perhaps my guilt will eat away at me.
But I will not suffer her to experience such loss..

-finally starts playing through Stormblood-

Guess I oughta get this done on at least ONE character…


🤷 - did they ever ruin something they couldn’t have out of spite? (any)

…Anna will ruin anything out of spite because she is … absurdly spiteful and vicious.

One specific example is Kona, a ‘friend’ of the d'Latus, and Dawne Strider, cousin to C'allie Kyho. While Anna didn’t particularly want to keep Kona for herself, she also did not want Dawne to have… anything. At all. Including vital signs.

In the… complicated history she and Seifer share, Anna developed a ridiculously overblown hatred of one particular redhead named Dawne. Discovering another one existed, and this one had all of the qualities that’d made the original such a problem, well…

Kona, lonely and directionless, struck the first few sparks of connection with Dawne, only to be rather baffled by the woman abruptly leaving. He never got the truth of the matter–which involved a bribe and a threat issued to C'allie, resulting in Dawne being abandoned alone on the Steppes–and 'moved on’ to moping about in search of someone to resolve his loneliness.

Which is when he crossed paths with Summer Bellmayne and then lost all control over the direction of his life.

Anna, content to have Dawne far, far away from Seifer, didn’t pursue the blind Keeper any further, provided she never again showed her face anywhere near the d'Latus. And she’s vaguely aware that Dawne a) didn’t die and b) is settled with a mate and expecting their second child.

For now, keeping tabs on Dawne’s existence is enough as Seifer’s neither mentioned her, gone looking for her, hit on another redhead, or done anything to indicate to Anna that it’s time to eliminate the annoyance permanently.

Killing Dawne would upset C'allie, shatter Bear, Dawne’s mate, and upset Narasen and L'upus, as Bear is the only family friend they have from their younger years. It also would bring nothing beneficial to Anna’s marriage and likely make Seifer roll his eyes before avoiding her for a couple of days out of sheer irritation.

Would she still do it?

Absolutely.

And one day, she will.
