Gonna be starting a XY game in preparation for ZA’s release next year, but I don’t know which starter to choose! I know Fennekin is good in early game but both Chespin and Froakie are also really good mid- and late-game

Scheduling this for Sunday morning as a reminder to myself to NOT FORGET TO USE MY FUCKING PORTENT DURING DND TODAY. Feel free to yell at me about it if you want me to help me not grumble at myself later for whiffing a roll that I could've passed.

ok. i see u complaining about how long it takes to get to shb, how are you supposed to get your friends into the fucking WONDER that is shb when they have to get through all of The Other Stuff First
I used to have this problem with Homestuck, people who wanted to skip to the trolls, or pass on the intermissions. I will repeat what I said then now:
The later stuff is mind-blowingly good BECAUSE of the setup slog. which is also fun btw, you’re having trouble selling it because you keep saying it’s a slog. it’s good storytelling! yes even arr and sb (i didn’t say it was the best storytelling!! but i’ve seen way fuckin worse!!!). You need to spend 300 hours with the characters and to watch them grow gradually for a LOT of the little character moments to even register later on, and i’m not even talking about the ascian reveals. estinien is a completely different character. thancred’s deep-seated issues have been brewing subtly since 1.0. the socio-economic political climate of the universe is SO important and SO well set up by the arr random task/fetch quests (BABY INCONSEQUENTIAL QUESTS. YEAH THE STUPID ONES IN THE INTRO PRE-SASTASHA SEQUENCES WITH THE NPCS YOU DONT REMEMBER. THOSE.) and that info is integral to character decisions made in every expansion afterwords, and is built upon consistently. the consistent build-up of the lore is, in my opinion, almost entirely the reason ffxiv’s writing stands out against other games of the genre. and it’s BOLSTERED by the fact that it’s a live service game with a shit ton of expansions you HAVE to play through single file when you start fresh. narrative games are usually 15-20 hours. ffxiv is giving you 500+ in msq alone (won’t get into how much the optional and side quests support the storytelling as well).
It’s like one of those long-running book series. you can’t ask someone to read Just the last book of animorphs and expect them to understand the narrative implications of what’s happening, or to get attached to the characters enough to care. that attachment and understanding is built by spending time and reading the other 1500 books prior. shb should not be treated as a stand-alone. in fact it’d be a bad standalone. it’s good BECAUSE there’s 500+ hours of playtime required to get there.

Big sis Anya!!
I love the idea of twiyor having another child and Anya having a little baby brother 🥹🥹 I was debating on the hair color and whatnots but ultimately went for black hair since it’s a dominant gene :D
UPDATE:
Thank you for all the love on this art, i didn’t expect it ; A ;
Thank you for all the name suggestions for baby Forger as well - I got a bunch of them on twitter and I think “James” is my fave :D (bc James -> James Bond, i really like the joke fdsoghdf)
lmk if you want to see more of Anya onee-san from me in the future! I really enjoy drawing sibligs sheningans haha

might be a bad take rn but if you are invested in an artist's personal life to a point where you cannot engage with their art without relating it to the artist themself you're probably doing it wrong

every single day i think about the fact that vil risked his life, his youth and beauty and his incredible worldwide fame to dive into the underworld and save idia, which is the same thing that a certain disney hero did for his girlfriend...
and yet somehow, idia/vil remains a rarepair. so unfair smh.

me, making a PC playlist: is Marina really an appropriate choice for an exhausted, four hundred year old grizzled war mage?
me, a split second later: what the fuck am I talking about. that's the demographic Marina makes music for.
