Slice of Stuffs

Aikirees and I leaning against a chalkboard with 'Blog Stuffs' written on it.

Been really wanting to figure out how to post and talk about general things along with everything else, so came up with a general header for when the time arises. There will be a lot of these as we get closer to the end of the year and it gets a lot busier.

Starting off, after what I believe has been 8 months, I have finally returned to Mastodon**. Asterisks being that there is no way for me to return to the capacity of it like back before the hiatus, but it is really good to return and see everyone once again. The return was incredibly warm and heartfelt; thank y’all and I really did miss y’all dearly. This won’t affect anything here as I still prefer to post here, and have come to really enjoy it over all that time.

Star Bunny will come back, eventually – I think there’s two or three big posts in regards to that to get sort of caught up to where I am there. I hit a major burnout with it as once it gets up there in levels, it starts to feel like hitting granite with a paper pick axe. Don’t get me wrong I love that fact that I can fly around the known Star Trek universe and see/do things, but it’s gotten a lot slower to progress is all.

Meanwhile, back in Eorzea, just recently we all took out the first four Normal Raids of Dawntrail. Those are so gosh darn fun! They did a really wonderful job with balancing out the mechanics and the fights themselves making them very fair in regards to how they all work. A couple of them are a bit bonkers as a Black Mage, but we’ll get there! The story will be interesting to see how this goes down across all the patches it will be added in – 7.2 being the next set.

Fashion Reports, we’re still a bit backlogged for those, so whenever I can those will go up on Fridays until we’re caught up. Think there’s about six or so left unless we add more to the queue.

We had fun working on the new airship parts with only a couple of pieces left to do now. We’ll have double the flight power soon enough! Probably will work on a submarine soon thereafter now that we have those unlocked as well. Over on the right is our crafting outfits; we’ve had those since we hit Level 90 back in Endwalker. I kind of doubt we’ll change them even at 100 unless something comes along that we like better.

Think that’s all that comes to mind at the moment. There’s RL items too, but probably will just put any of those in a separate post if I want to share. Y’all have a wonderful day!

The Rising 2024

The finale to the Rising fireworks display.

Happy Rising 2024 y’all! May the memories of past journeys fill everyone with wonderful thoughts, and here’s to many more adventures to look forward to ahead!

The event this year was lovely as always and the fireworks were just so as well. We ended up hanging around to watch the entirety of the show, and a bard behind us started to play ‘Answers’ on their harp. It’s always nice/emotional to hear that song, and it felt very fitting to hear it during such a time. They did a fantastic performance, but before we could turn to listen more closely, they had already headed out. Thank you for such a wonderful performance.

Along with the event itself, the little bonus visitors at the end of it were a nice touch too. To a journey filled with many adventurous moments with wonderful memories ahead. Until next Rising~!

Dawn of a New Day

Me watching the sunrise over Costa del Sol.

Was taking care of a hunt the other week, and happened upon seeing a very lovely sunrise just outside of Costa del Sol. Always nice to take a quick breather between all the tasks to enjoy the scenery every once and a while.

Speaking of mornings, good morning y’all! Kick some tail today – y’all got this!!

Reaching for the Skies Again

Laureine and I in HQ's workshop building part of an airship.

I decided to work on another airship to help the now rank 41 U.S.S. Voyager with surveying the skies. Miss Laureine was around to work on some woodworking quests, so she as well as Juli assisted with acquiring materials to get the first section underway!

This new one will be airborne in no time and soaring the skies in no time!
