Prototypes are done for GATEway FATE “Sticker alternatives”. I am by no means skilled at bead craft, but I put some of those old school summer crafts skills to use and this is what I came up with. I might mix up some with different words and skill. I can 100% guarantee none will match…

I have a growing stack of Mermaid Scales. Every time I go ocean fishing I try and get more. They are pretty and shiny… While my bun collects them I feel like they belong to my AuRa who has a sea motif going.

Started playing Pokemon Violet. I have a few issues with the game, but overall I am enjoying it. Honestly main peeve is Dachsbun… it’s fairy… but can only naturally learn 3-4 fairy type moves… it mostly knows normal or dark type moves. Other than that, I love the bread dog!

I have found who I most align with in Genshin. Xilonen She can’t keep plants alive, likes chocolate and naps, while she dislikes water with no flavor and customers who go “oh I’m not in a rush”. Also her skating idle animation is fun. #Xilonen

I actually ate lunch AT WORK instead of snacking all day and eating one big meal for dinner. I haven’t done that in years. These three meals I would gladly repeat. I don’t like carrots, the curry made me like and eat ALL the carrots… 😓

I’m with you Jigglypuff… Mondays shouldn’t be a thing… #PokemonSleep

Three more completed. ✅ Weaver ✅ Goldsmith ✅ Leatherworker Three more crafters to go, then on to gathering.

Got Frying Pan about 12:15am Wednesday before bed. Needed scripts for Soul Crystal crafter swaps, went to see Bunboy former Shrub. Finished Alchemist by 11pm last night. The hard part was finding a video to watch while crafting. The extra 50% after finishing 1 relic is amazing!

New Month, New Skircle. Looks like the last time I checked was 4 months ago. I really should do this monthly just because I can…

Side note: 8.0 date I’m now going with the theory of it being right after Tokyo FanFest

All Cosmic Relics finished as of last night! The DoL ones were the most painful, but the 7.3 changes made it easier and more enjoyable. Prior to patch I was prepared to just skip the DoL relics as the missions were too tight on time, & waiting for GP between each mission dragged on.

Based on these dates, prior FanFest dates, & expansion releases: it’s looking like early 2027 for 8.0? 🤔 Historically Tokyo has taken place 3-6 months prior to release, leaving time for media tour. Options: A) Expansion will release right after Tokyo B) We get more than .5 patch C) LONG Slow Time

Vs My Most used Skill

FFXIV “Confession” My least used skill as a White Mage main. I think I’ve used it twice in the past 3 years…

🤔 Growing up, Pokemon kept me entertained on road trips. Final Fantasy has fueled my love of fantasy & sci-fi. Bottom line is my favorite Patches & Expansions of XIV topsters.org

Ten’s ashes arrived home today. This came with it. Truly unexpected, but most welcome.

Mom called while I was at work. Looks like today’s the day Ten crosses the Rainbow Bridge. 🌈 He was my first dog. I hope Topper (my other dog) won’t get too depressed afterwords, I don’t think mom could take loosing both in a year. I knew it was coming, but I’m still crying. Love you Ten

🙂 Lots of faces I recognize.

I really enjoyed the #PokemonSleep Cresselia Darkrai event. Managed to get to Master 15, I don’t think I’ll see that again for awhile. The Eeveelutions were teasing me all week. With all the new styles I saw this week I’m close to unlocking the Lake!

I’ve been keeping up with #Pokemon Sleep. I already tracked my sleep prior with a smartwatch for health reasons, so I figured why not. It’s been fun. I like seeing what my friends find. Of all the pokemon I’ve friended this is one is a fav. It’s cute! Just wish had more recipes that used Corn…

This morning he appears to be doing better. We’ll be going day by day. He’s the last of his litter, his sister passed in December, so we know… he’s 14. First puppy photo I have of him vs most recent. He got so fluffy!

I normally pick fire starters… sometimes if I don’t like the final stage I’ll pick something else (points to Alola)

I know for a fact the only reason Genshin is in there is because I was liking so many January character birthday posts...

Last Up - #FFXIV Crafting. Synthesis to the Left Quality to the Right Line 3 - Utility Line 4 - Macros that change as the patches do Upper Right - Food

Here's a look at my main 3 #FFXIV battle classes. White Mage, Pictomancer, Dancer. Healers are all similar set up. 1 - Basic Heal 2 - Lv2 Heal 3 - AoE Heal 4 - Esuna 5 - "OH S***" button (Benediction) For DPS I tend to make line 1 single target skills and line 2 AoE skills.

I use collapsible hotbars. Been using them for a few years. I tend to keep all my job switches on the vanishing bars. Took me months to get them to work right, but I enjoy playing this way. I also like having visual space between icons of different types. #FFXIV

My mom knows I have pain fairly often now, so she got me some gummies for Christmas. 😓 I think I’m good for a year plus.

Yeah... I play a lot of 14...

Well, no sleeping in for me this weekend. It’s a bit of a drive, but I think it’ll be worth it. Excited 😁 #LotR #Movies
