Final Fantasy XI
Final Fantasy XI is the eleventh numbered installment in the… Okay, you know what it is, I’m just going to tell you about one of the storylines!
During the Wings of the Goddess expansion, adventurers will be sent back in time to experience the events of the Crystal War, a cataclysmic event that is the foundation for conflicts of the modern-day timeline. Should an adventurer choose to serve the Kingdom of San d’Oria, they will be immersed in the story of the Young Griffons—a group of children who would see themselves knights, many of whom grow into prominent characters later in life.
Among the Young Griffons, the player will find Bistillot, a shy boy who doesn’t like to be seen. With his penchant for engineering, shy demeanor, and lack of combat potential, Bistillot prefers to spend his time inside of an orcish war machine that he was able to repair to working condition.
He is often seen before he is heard, with his signature phrase, “HAAAALLOOOOOOOOO” being used to hail the adventurer. Through the course of the story, Bistillot finds his way, even contributing to the war effort with his engineering skills.
However, when another member of the Young Griffons is kidnapped and taken to the present day, the adventurer must return to the present day and reunite with the Young Griffons’ present selves! The adventurer’s first contact in the present day is Bistillot. When the adventurer hears the signature “HAAAALLOOOOOOO,” Bistillot approaches the player, but what the player sees is… a woman?? She introduces herself as Bostilette, a “friend of Bistillot.”
After the rescue mission, Bostilette comes clean. She is, of course, the very same Bistillot who was a little boy twenty years earlier. She explains that she was very sick as a baby, so her parents gave her a boy’s name so that she would be stronger and survive the illness. Once she overcame the illness, she was comfortable to reclaim her name and gender. Well, that closes the book on that story, except… I’ve decided that’s bullshit!
I have unilaterally decided that Bostilette is trans, the sickness she had was dysphoria, she stayed in the orcish war machine because she was an egg, and I hope you all agree!

been putting together this pokemon TTRPG. there’s a couple systems out there, but they’re all so damn crunchy with the combat. I’ve settled on just using showdown for actual battles.
putting together some kind of coherent world of what the fuck actually is pokemon is honestly the most difficultt part. like I tend to tell very political TTRPGs, but pokemon is just so obscure with what the fuck anything is because it’s a dumb RPG for kids. what is the government? is the pokemon leauge the government? what do most people seem to even do for work? presumably taxes pay for the pokemon centre? are officer Jenny and Looker the only damn cops in this entire world? what’s the regulation on owning a pokemon? how does the government control wild pokemon from starting a forest fire or blowing the electrical grid? just world building stuff like that
honestly, it’s strange when you consider just how fucking HUGE pokemon is as a franchise, and yet has little to no TTRPG spin off community as other media properties do
god I wish factorio 2.0 had updated the construction bot logic. I just hate that they randomly place ground tiles like concrete or landfill. just start from one edge and work to the other, god damn. this hardly seems impossible to program
My brain has been extremely active lately, and so I waa thinking about the famous webnovel. No I have not read more, but months ago I made a big noise about a certain scene but did not reproduce it enough. Forgive me, I was not in the meow zone. Now that I am:
The scene of all time, from Unjust Depths 5.2 The Queen
Carmilla sat on the couch, and patted her hand at her side, urging Victoria to join her.
Smiling, Victoria took her place beside the Duchess. It was rare that she felt so comfortable.
She relaxed against the back of the couch and let her body lean against Carmilla’s side, feeling her warmth through her tight clothes. Victoria felt the Duchess’ hand settle on her shoulder first, and then glide up the nape of her neck, behind the back of her head, up to the base of her fluffy brown cat ears.
Victoria’s tail swayed contentedly as Carmilla’s fingers traced the firm cartilage.
Her fingers were so slender, so soft, brushing over the ear flap from the base to the tip.
Victoria’s whole body stirred as the duchess stroked her so gently.
She closed her eyes. From her chest, she let out a soft purr.
“How is this?” Carmilla asked.
A trimmed fingernail scraped where her ears met her head, delivering a rough sensation.
At first teasingly, but then with a firm and continuous rhythm.
Victoria’s hands kneaded on the couch. Her hips trembled. Tiny, almost surprised gasps escaped the Shimii’s lips. Carmilla teased her ears in the exact way that drove her mad.
First a scratch, then a firm rub from the fingertip, bending the ear; draw back for another scratch; repeat. Faster, building up heat each time. Victoria pressed her body against Carmilla’s, moaning gently.
“That’s what I love to see. My precious Varisha, in the glow of happiness.”
Hearing the Duchess’ voice cooing her secret name while scratching her ears, while feeling the warmth of her body and the firmness of her grip. It sent a thrill through Victoria’s chest and down her body.
“Call me by my special name, Varisha.”
In the midst of her passion, Victoria murmured it. “Mishagh–”
She felt Carmilla’s finger moving faster. “Beautiful. Such a good girl.”
Victoria’s tail shot straight up, quivering. She started to bow her head under the intensity of that touch.
The Duchess’ finger slid down Victoria’s ears a final time before lifting off of her head.
Victoria’s eyes drew wide with surprise. Carmilla took her by the waist, pulling her close.
“You’ll get more scritches soon. In the royal bed, next time.” She said, winking.
Carmilla’s finger traveled down Victoria’s cheek.
She lifted the Shimii’s chin and bent down to kiss her. Gentle, brief, but reassuring.
As their lips parted, Victoria’s head felt airy with contentedness.
“Soon.” Victoria cooed. She was letting herself be vulnerable. Letting herself savor it.
I would greatly prefer if Unjust Depths had more of this. Or, maybe if all of it was this. Perhaps there is related fanfic I should be reading, but my gay fiction is alarmingly lacking in meowing, I find.
Any discord groups that would accept me during this time of needs perhaps 🤔
coming out stuff
I’m planning to visit my family soon, and I’ve been thinking about what to do regarding my grandparents. They’re old, rural Europeans and I doubt they even know what a trans person is. When I saw them this summer it that was the last time I boymoded, and that just made me feel bad, and I can’t just wear a sports bra and a sweater to hide things now, like I could then. What I’ve decided to so far is to just present fem like I normally do, and if they have questions I’ll answer honestly, but I won’t have a big coming out moment or be particularly insistent that they gender me correctly (at least for now).
Maybe it’s a bit cowardly, but I feel like it’s a good compromise so far, not actively hiding who I am, but hopefully not overwhelming them either. They probably won’t say anything either way, because they’re so ingrained in this annoying cultural idea that asking people anything that could in any way feel uncomfortable for you or for them is better left unsaid in every situation.
My girlfriend invited me to her steam family with her other girlfriends but I’m already in a steam family with MY other girlfriend and HER other girlfriends and you cant be in more than one. My massive library is in demand! But it sucks this is polyphobic!!!
Today has been shockingly bland. Maybe I should take a break from my work…
cw: autism sensory issues, genitals, shaving
I must be cursed with the most unlucky body hair genes ever, I shave my bits and bobs and my butt and the next morning it’s already grown back enough to have a little stubble and if I don’t shave again that morning it ends up rubbing against my panties and really bothers me, like, bleh.
Makes me want to just stop shaving so I don’t have to deal with the sensory problems but then ✨gender ✨ happens and it gets at me the same amount, if not worse. I hate my brain sometimes 
does anyone else ever sit back and think about how you could describe this election with the phrase “coconuts and mcdonald’s”
Checking my lab results, somehow my T got back to male levels (14.2 nmol despite my increased spiro dose, last test (with the lower dose) gave me 4, first one at that same dose gave me 1, pre-E I was at 14.1). Midterms have been throwing my sleep into a mess though so I haven’t been able to take them at a consistent time lately so I assume that’s the issue rn, and I only took it an hour before the test, but I wouldn’t have expected it to outright be back at male levels from that. Gonna have to figure out a time that I can stay more consistent on.
My E shifted a ton too, maybe because of the T being higher today and suppressing it? Last time it was 225 pmol, this time it’s 184. No dosage change.
Just got back from getting bloodwork, now to wait for results and hopefully I can get my E upped a little.
cw: Blood
Seeing my blood in the vial, I’m always struck by how it’s such a lovely shade of red. This happens to me often with particular shades of colours, and I guess my own blood is one of those now. The dark red is such a deep and beautiful shade, and even the bright stains on white cloth are utterly delightful, such a… almost happy shade of red. This is probably weird to think about though.
8·6 hours agoIs there some word for music you listen to while… down
Thomas Bergersen is quickly becoming that for me
waking up with no power, and then discovering the fucking fuse for the oven is the thing tripping the breaker. I had to test so many god damn things to narrow that down
I got approved for a bridge welfare payment while my disability application processes
