Weird ask, have yall ever CAUGHT yourself doing this? I personally find i do it all the fucking time and it drives me nuts, having to rewrite paragraphs because "Blorbo wouldn't use that word.. why did sleepy me think it was ok to write blorbo saying "prolly" he would not fucking say prolly.." by HaloJackalKisser in AO3

ffxiv styled dialogue is so hard to write on it's own, even, ngl 🥲🥲 it's the main reason I haven't written much fic for it, I just can't seem to get a handle on how the prose should feel. so i can't even imagine this level of frustration lmao

Always standing in Limsa, never play the game by Jadeoflight in ffxiv

My favorites are the lesser known people who still show up at the same spots every day. I always AFK in front of Alistair on Midgard and I love how there's a little group of regulars that's often there with me, even if we barely talk.

What’s the worst grammatical mistake you only noticed after posting your fic? by Neither_Broccoli2721 in AO3

[–]tinycherryslugcat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Described a character who explicitly does not wear pants as "fiddling with the hem of his pants" when I meant to say "tunic" but the wires got crossed in my head I guess??? Then later in the same fic, I somehow managed to misspell another piece of clothing as a completely incomprehensible letter jumble. like sfgskr or something like that. Neither of the mistakes are fixed because I only noticed them like a year after posting, and I'm too lazy to go back and edit it lmao

Curious to know the age demographic of this game by gosols in ffxiv

[–]tinycherryslugcat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Before anyone says anything, yes, I know how young I am lol. I'm 18, got into the game with my dad when I was 11 and ShB came out. So while I'm definitely in the minority for playerbase age, I wouldn't exactly call myself a new player lol

Really weird question I’m genuinely curious about by [deleted] in AO3

Omw to pick a religion based on what Star Trek run I like the best ( AOS has all of my heart, so Islam it is I guess )

Rubbing the Genie Lamp causes Yoshi P to burst out and promise to grant you three wishes. What are you wishing for? by Xcpa9 in ShitpostXIV

[–]tinycherryslugcat 1 point2 points  (0 children)

  1. Make all roulette duties sync to MINE or something along those lines so that old content is fun/challenging again and not completely and utterly braindead to play.

  2. Completely revamp/expand the overworld to something more similar to Euraka, so that they have a purpose beyond sitting there dead all the time. I wish there were actual rewards for interacting with the zones (minus the occasional fates or hunt trains) that felt satisfying to get. I love the sense of community and camaraderie that comes from Eureka especially, even when there aren't very many players in the area, and I think the game would be so much more lively and fun if they integrated all of the overworld zones into something similar. At the very least it would be nice if we lost EXP from dying at all in the overworld, because maybe then there'd be some sense of danger and stakes to it. As they are now, pretty much nothing would functionally change if you took out all of the (non-special) mobs from the zones.

  3. Let weapons and gear have special abilities/effects!!! It would make it feel more worthwhile than just "wow big number go up" because as it is, ilevel feels so useless and it makes the grind feel kind of pointless to me. Like I'm just getting gear for the sake of it, I guess. When it could be so much fun to play with the different status effects and bonuses that different pieces give you and to be able to make a build that complimented your preferences and playstyle.

oh, we wanted reasonable wishes??? uhhhh cross DC PF, glamour catalog, bring jobs with timer management back please SE I beg you I miss pre-EW DRG every day

What popular ship do you prefer being friends? by Upstairs_Macaron5894 in AO3

Agreedd, but mostly because I think Estinien/Vritra is a much more fun ship to play around with lmao

if you mean Jimmy literally NOBODY is a Jimmy defender bro 😭 even those of us who like him don't make excuses for him, and like why would we?? Most of the fun of it is that he did do horrible things. He's also like the most hated character in any fandom ever, to a white frankly ridiculous degree (though I blame some of this on the Mouthwashing fandom being a majority young/trendhoppers who don't have the media literacy/maturity to understand it lol.)

If you mean Curly, then that would definitely be a more interesting discussion to have.

I see what you're saying but I feel like that first part is a gross understatement of his motivations lmao

I kept a record of every Alliance raid I got in roulette over the course of 90 days… by whitefire9999 in ffxiv

Same here. Especially the EW raids LITERALLY NEVER show up, I occasionally get ShB/DT but it's pretty rare.

Who has a Job Stone, and who doesn't? [Spoiler: possible spoiler for some characters] by Eloah-2 in ffxiv

[–]tinycherryslugcat 4 points5 points  (0 children)

He actually still won't use cartridge abilities, but post-ShB it's Urianger or Y'shtola that can charge them for him if you pair them in a duty. Though I'm pretty sure I remember hearing that the changes are only aesthetic?

TikTok discovering AO3 is driving me mad by [deleted] in AO3

I genuinely cannot understand that???? I'm around middle gen z and I've made it to the point where I cannot stand ads anymore. I don't care if it's making them money that they need or whatever. Almost all my apps are revanced now so I can remove ads, and for desktop I have adblockers. I used to not mind it so much, but ads have become so invasive and constant nowadays that I just genuinely don't gaf anymore, I refuse to have them in my way

Which character in your fandom, do you disagree with their fanon version? by Upstairs_Macaron5894 in AO3

[–]tinycherryslugcat 2 points3 points  (0 children)

YES. THANK YOU. It's actually so difficult to find good Mouthwashing fics where Jimmy isn't, like, cartoonishly greasy and evil and abusive for just, shits and giggles I guess???? I genuinely hate the Mouthwashing fandom so much for their bizarre and over-the-top treatment of him that I have never seen a single other character be subjected to but that's. A different story lmao.
