Okay My Lil 2 Cents For Any New Users Here From Twitter:

One of the worst parts of current internet culture is that it makes good old fashioned complaining so difficult. I don’t wanna cancel anyone or bully anyone, I’m not trying to form a hate mob I’m not calling anyone out, i just wanna bitch about something. Because complaining is fun, good for you, even. Is that too much to ask? Where is the room for shooting the shit?

I know its fun to be like omg twitter is dying lets goooo

but its really sad that we're losing yet another form of human communication and years of information because of another ceo baby manchild. I'm going to lose contact with a bunch of friends i've made because of this and it sucks

K - Know It All - Are they a Know-it-All? Do they actively seek out new knowledge? How do they behave around others how have a great amount of knowledge on a topic?

Sena isn’t in the traditional sense, but I think there’s a lot of overlap between his cynical worldview and him thinking “I know more than you!”

Even pre-ARR, he thinks that most people are bad, which is something that gets reinforced pretty regularly. But for more concrete, specific topics…

He does want to get stronger to protect the handful of people he actually cares about, and actively pursued that! But him being so cynical sabotages his progress - he doesn’t always want help, which he equates with helplessness, and he doesn’t trust that many people, which means finding someone else to teach him things can be super hard.

He thinks people with greater academic knowledge are just nerds, though.

5 and 6 for the ffxiv asks?

5. Which, if any, of the major cities or cultures does your WoL/OC consider to be their childhood point-of-origin? Why did they leave? Do they go back and visit? How do they feel about coming from this place?

Sena is technically from the Steppe, but he left pretty young and doesn't remember it well. He spent some time just trying to survive, and doesn't really consider anywhere specific to be "home", which is a bit of a downer, but it's definitely in a "home is other people" sense.

He does go back there for story reasons (still working out the logic since Stormblood is his villain arc, admittedly), but it's a weird experience for him, which is made weirder by how much NPC dialogue there is specific to Xaela (Hien's "you may not have been born here" line actually really rubs him the wrong way).

6. Has your WoL/OC ever canonically fantasia'd to another species? Have they considered doing so? If so, what made them choose that species? How does that affect their relationships with those who were born as the species they changed into?

Sena has not; he's very protective of his horns and scales and losing them again would weird him out.

If he did Fantasia, he'd probably be a catboy. Not much reason behind this other than it just feels right.

(I sometimes just drop art here and run, but I’m lurking to read the tags! Would also like to apologize to new followers because I’m still getting an insane amount of spam bots!)

I want to repost the Ardbert piece on here, but it’s like, what are the hidden rules of tumblr art posting (like how Twitter had all those “BEAT THE ALGORITHM” tips)?

Still don’t quite know how much to / what to reblog / etc, but I’m lurking!

Spin this wheel to get a word and this wheel to get an animal. Congrats, this is now your new MGS codename.

Reblog with your codename btw I'm curious-

whenever someone is like "[X] is so good but you can't just recommend it casually bc it has every trigger warning under the sun" that in itself is a recommendation. all the truly good shit needs a minimum of 5 disclaimers or it can't possibly reach the level of visceral catharsis necessary to be classified as a masterpiece. the funnier variant of this is when you come across a callout post for a piece of media that ends up reading like a recommendation instead
