       Here are two recent #GPoses I made! This first one is #Maxx trying to help #Joan out with her new exotablet at home. She's struggling with it.Joan: "I don't get why they're called windows when they're boxes."Maxx: "They're like windows to a mysterious realm where your documents lie hidden. Or like a window to the void that allows you to see your #voidsent minions."Joan: "Oooh. OK, that makes sense. Don't read into my ability to relate to the voidsent minion thing."Maxx: "Already have."Joan frowns.#FFXIV #FFXIVRP #FFXIV_Miqote #HoJi #HeraldsOfJijivisa #GPosers

       @raccoon OMG She's amazing! Samurai or red mage? Or Cramoissaire? (That last one's just a joke, but in my RP canon, there's a secret cabal of red mage samurai who call themselves the Cramoisaires, a reference to an old Ishgardian word for "red.")

       @raccoon Oooh, that's so wonderful! I really want to commission something big one day, but I have a ways to go before I get there. One day, though! In the meantime, I'm really grateful I can still make cool pictures with the tools we still have!P.S. Joan is a red mage too! She actually helped her uncle to add the samurai skills to the cramoisaire job style. She was trained by her late best friend Wyra'a, who was trained by an Ishgardian noble named Camilla, who was trained by X'rhun! Her samurai job training came from a ronin who also trained her late fiance. (She lives a dangerous life. 😭 )And since X'rhun trained Alisae, that's how many degrees of separation I have from her. XD

       @raccoon HA! XD You know, I'm not gonna say that wasn't meant as an advertisement....cuz it was a little meant as advertisement. 😹P.S. I've been so tempted since I made this comic to write a version of "Knights of the Round Table" for Balmung's ERP community. XD

       @raccoon This is the most racoonphobic thing I've ever heard of, and I'm horrified! You know my boyfriend sometimes lets me starve (he doesn't) by allowing the refrigerator to be unfull for HOURS at a time. HOURS. I've died before, probably. I'm not a doctor. Singing the song of my people keeps me going.It's a cruel world we live in. /j

       @raccoon I'm ngl. When it comes to Balmung's Quicksands.... sometimes you can just make a character and go.Stranger: "I've just arrived in Ul'dah, and I need....refreshment."Random miqo'te: "I'm... drinkable."1970s porn music begins to play.

       @raccoon It really feels like it is some days. XDIf you want quality ERP, then you have to do the work. :PP.S. If you want quality long-term RP, then just pray they don't randomly reveal themselves to be a Nazi sympathizer two years down the road, cuz that shit comes outta NOWHERE sometimes. 😭

       @raccoon Hell fuck yeah, you are! :blob_rave: Then the good 'ol fashioned way it is! It does work best that way. Some folks will occasionally surprise us will bad behavior, but most people will do their best and be amazing. :D

       @raccoon ERP or RP generally? I run a little RP group myself on FFXIV, and those are--unsurprisingly--harder to find than ERP venues.

       Four years ago, #Maxx #Kisne traveled back in time 19 years, to our timeline, in order to save our star. All he brought with him were his clothes, his weapons, and his trusty #chocobo #Rocket.In #FFXIVRP terms, this is backstory, and Rocket has been with us now for the better part of four years of RP.Today, one of #Joan's chocobos, #Rime, gave birth to a brood of chocobo chicks that includes #LJ's brand newborn baby chocobo, whom she has named Rocket because "he boo and he go fast!" Which I suppose are fine reasons to name someone Rocket to a three-year-old, I suppose. 😂 The picture of the adult man and the giant blue chocobo are Maxx and Rocket in the present (and they're about 19 years ahead of us in terms of their age and maturity). The picture of Joan and LJ with the two chocobos, where it's the little chick that's blue? That's LJ (Maxx's current timeline variant) with baby Rocket. 💙 #FFXIVMiqote #GPosers #Chocobo

       @raccoon OMG right? The picture with the chocobo and the baby together KILLS me. 😭 https://eldritch.cafe/@ceruleanarc/115251868835450735Also, Gposing a chocobo (or several, I suppose) was super fun. XD

       @raccoon Since you love #chocobo, putting this one up for you! A friend of mine sent me the meme below. In response, I put three of my characters' chocobos in the same exact position to replicate the picture exactly.Because if any bird deserves to be called a dinosaur, it's the honorable chocobo. 😝 I was very proud and gave my friend, who also loves chocobos, many happies.#FFXIV #GPosersP.S. The chocobo in the far back with the black hood is Rocket. The blue chocobo in silver armor is Aldis, Rocket's grandfather (but not this Rocket, the other baby Rocket from the current timeline XD ) and Rime's father. 😊

       @raccoon All three are my chocobos yeah! Rocket and Aldis, as I mentioned. The last one, the yellow one, is Switch, and he belongs to LJ's nanny.

       @raccoon And then there's Rime from the other pictures. That's Joan's current battle chocobo since Aldis is starting to get pretty old.Rime is the white chocobo pictured below. She's Rocket's mom (the baby, not the adult).

       @raccoon You can't change battle chocobos IRL. Game mechanics don't permit it, and it wouldn't make much sense. You can change their color and name, though, for RP reasons!Aldis is still an NPC, but he's retired now.

       @raccoon Oh that makes sense why you'd ask!There are no solo pics of Rime because shortly after coming home with Joan, LJ helped Maxx dye all her feathers red, which resulted in very bright pink feathers.So while cosmetically, and IRL, the change is exactly the same, in RP, one change is a replacement of parent with child and one change is dye, bad ideas, and lots of energy. :P

       @raccoon This will help!Random Joan trivia: Aldis was originally named Argent (silver in Ishgardian), but Joan changed his name after finding Argent again in honor of the man who purchased her freedom from the bloodsands.
