Note about tags and spoilers on my blog

This is how I tag my stuff in case you wish to block certain types of posts:

  • #aethris art - Finished digital and pixel art
  • #aethris wip - Works in progress
  • #aethris meme - Quick memes (excluding fully redrawn/rendered meme art, which goes in the art tag)
  • #aethris text - Random text posts and thoughts
  • #aethris ask - Ask answers
  • #aethris notes - Notes about other posts

If you wish to avoid specific content and/or spoilers for FFXIV, this is how I am going to be tagging my posts from here on:

  1. #a realm reborn / #a realm reborn spoilers
  2. #heavensward / #heavensward spoilers
  3. #stormblood / #stormblood spoilers
  4. #shadowbringers / #shadowbringers spoilers
  5. #endwalker / #endwalker spoilers

I am aware the game is old but not everyone plays at the same pace. I’d rather tag my stuff this way so even people who are brand new to the game can still gaze upon my accursed creations without risking being spoiled.

As for Limbus, I will be tagging story specific posts with #lcb canto [#]

Once I was doing fieldwork with someone from Europe and said “careful, there’s a rattlesnake over there.” And she rushed over like I’d said there was a quetzal.

I said “Ma’am please, we’re three hours from a hospital!” and she said

1.) I don’t understand how that can be

2.) But I’ve never done fieldwork from a car before (!!!) so I’ll take your word for it.

3.) Did you just call me ma’am? Like a cowboy?

We drove through the Los Angeles megacity together — and at one point were stuck in traffic.

“Heeeey”, she said, like someone gently broaching a topic I should have noticed, “Why does the lane next to us have diamond shaped symbols on it?”

That is! A subtle and friendly way of asking why we’re sitting in traffic when there’s a carpool lane Right There! I laughed and pulled into the lane and started driving.

Unfortunately. That isn’t what she was implying, she was genuinely asking. So we were stuck in traffic, she asked about what was clearly a breakdown or emergency access lane, and I laughed and started driving in it. She was Alarmed.

“Hello! Excuse me! We can’t drive in this lane! No one else is driving in this lane!!”

“Oh! I should have said — this lane is for people with more than one person in their car.”

“That is RIDICULOUS. You are lying. You are lying about what this lane is for and we’ll get arrested! (ma’am it’s fine but if it weren’t it would be more of a “ticket” situation) we’ll get a “ticket”! (Ma’am again it’s fine but were it not I alone would get the ticket) because that IS NOT the purpose of this lane. That is a RIDICULOUS lie.”

“I’m sorry, I should have said — I thought you were being subtle about my oversight. Please observe the carpool sign.”

“I don’t know what a carpool is and I don’t believe you.”

“How about you look at all the cars stuck in traffic and see how many have more than one driver, and if there are at least five I’ll get back into the traffic jam.”

“FINE!”

<a pause>

(With dawning horror) “none of these cars have more than one person in them.”

“I know.”

“None of these cars have more than one person!!”

“If you weren’t here I’d be right there with them.”

“OK but there was no train to where we needed to go.”

“There’s no train to where they needed to go either.”

“HOW.”

Later that day:

“I know McDonalds and Burger King sell Burgers, but what does Wendy’s sell?”

“Burgers”

“And Sonic?”

“Burgers.”

“Jack in the Box?”

“Burgers.”

“In’n’Out?”

“Look, It’s burgers all the way down.”

She hopped off a plane, went camping on Catalina with her husband and his lab, and then I showed her a rattlesnake, dragged her through heavy brush, took her (food) shopping in Beverly Hills, illustrated American car dependency and love of burger, and threatened to shoot someone trying to break into our hotel room. (I did not have a gun) She speed-ran the US American experience in eight days.

no nuance for the choices, elaborate in the tags. regularly means making an conscious effort to find and listen to songs in a different language of your own volition and not just letting them play on the radio/hearing them at work/other situations where you are not in control of the music

no judgement i’m just interested if that’s a contributing factor to the prev poll

@ prev sure thing o7
