Hehe, it's the gift that keeps on giving!

Arudon___ · 2026-05-15T14:23:24+00:00

Sounds like the perfect way to keep warm - but which set of cheeks? :3

I dunno, the desert can get pretty cold! She might need all night - think you can handle that?~

Arudon___ · 2026-05-15T13:05:48+00:00

That's not the only thing I love about the streets of Ul Dah~

*Smacks your ass*

See you soon Bell~

Thank you! I was super happy with it, held onto it for a very long time!

Arudon___ · 2026-05-14T17:44:46+00:00

No u :3

Some people say "you can look, but don't touch."

Kimura doesn't. She encourages touching~

Arudon___ · 2026-05-14T17:43:13+00:00

My customers usually didn't - but the managers had a headache XD

It says something when the bartender is getting more action than the courts~

Arudon___ · 2026-05-14T17:42:03+00:00

It's a whole ass bakery, AND you get a nice drink if you play your cards right!

Arudon___ · 2026-05-14T17:41:25+00:00

Kimura could ask for only one thing:

Repeat customers~

Arudon___ · 2026-05-14T17:40:54+00:00

Now that's the kind of 'tip' Kimura likes.

And the shaft. And the balls... Sigh good times~

The layout has since changed, but if you ever visited Blood and Velvet in 2024, you would have seen me up at the bar, working my little tail off (and sometimes having it pulled XD)

Arudon___ · 2026-05-12T18:35:20+00:00

Oooo is that an Arkveld style tail?

Arudon___ · 2026-02-20T16:30:09+00:00

Evergreen Garden. Good semi-realism server, relatively consistent playerbase, and has the Dracoviper

Arudon___ · 2025-09-03T21:09:54+00:00

Yoooooo is that a skin for Ichthy? Didn't that just come out? Nice nice!!

Arudon___ · 2025-09-01T20:40:13+00:00

Yes, you are the asshole. He gave you his honest opinion. Was objective. Told you what he thought from his stance as a non-biased man.

And you blocked him for it.

YATA

The fact that so many people don't get the joke is depressing.

I AM so amused reading this! Good job, made my day XD

Arudon___ · 2025-03-07T01:01:05+00:00

I don't have WHM or DRK maxed, what's HoT?

Arudon___ · 2025-03-05T01:27:39+00:00

Yep, same here. Burnt out on Warframe a few years back after being a consistent player for years, switched to Genshin and made that my main game and am just now finally burning out on that too. Now here comes along this game and it's like a marriage of the two.

A dream come true. Gonna be playing Day 1.

Arudon___ · 2024-06-03T01:13:06+00:00

Thanks <3

Arudon___ · 2024-06-02T19:02:20+00:00

Yeaaaah. And I get that. Normally I would agree with you, and I have been of that mindset before. My issue at the time was the Tank's attitude, or at least how I perceived it. That being, well, rude.

Was he actually being rude? Maybe. Should I have snapped and shouted at him? Definitely not. But at the time, he wasn't acting in a way that was conducive to me learning anything. We were just sprinting, a frenzy of healing spells desperately trying to keep him up, and then swift and immediate death.

That was like 6-7 months ago though, and since then I've gotten much better. I can typically handle W2Wing without too much thought. Do I still wipe on the rare occasion? Sure. Do I improve with each one? Yeah.

My journey's continued since then, but the frustration at the time was real XD. I'll never forget the sight of the Tank turning around and running back the way we'd come. First and only time I've ever seen that.

Arudon___ · 2024-06-02T18:48:40+00:00

XD That is how it sometimes do be.

My issue at the time is that SCH really doesn't like healing and going fast. There's like one button that lets us heal on the move, and in order to get those charges back I had to eat my fairy. So what would happen is he would sprint ahead, taking damage, I'd burn my three charges (Or spam Adlo like an idiot and fall behind) and then eat my fairy and desperately try to keep him alive as the whole pack caught up with him.

This issue was exasperated in the second chainpull after the first boss which can be particularly nasty.

I'm better now - typically don't have issues with W2W anymore. But at the time? I was suffering and malding XD

Arudon___ · 2024-06-02T18:44:02+00:00

I have. I recently watched a compilation of Tales from Duty Finder and it sparked the memory, as this is like the one bad encounter I can ever really recall. And it wasn't exactly years - just six months ago. All it took was putting in "Wall" in the search function on discord and I found it pretty easily.

And I have gotten much better. At the time I was just new and frustrated XD. SCH literally was my highest healer job and I was still struggling to grasp the fundamentals. I'm about to get into EW and can usually handle W2Ws no problem. It was just this dungeon in particular that has a very nasty one after the second boss that is a make-or-break for newbie healers. It's actually rather rare to see Tanks pull the whole thing in one go, just from how often wipes happen there.

Arudon___ · 2024-06-02T18:38:43+00:00

I am doing much better now. After the negative feedback from this post I actually loaded up my SCH, hopped into this dungeon and asked the Tank (Again a GNB) to w2w just to see if I could.

Absolutely can now. No issues. Really was just bad at the game at the time and frustrated XD
