2. Highlight a FFXIV blog that people might not know about, but that you would like to recommend to others; and

41. Highlight a FFXIV blogger who you wish posted more often.

(for the FFXIV Blog Positivity Ask Game!)

A blog that people might not know about, but that I want to recommend. Hmmm hard to choose. But someone who I have been mutuals with for a very long time - and who I definitely recommend - is @confusedau-ra.

As well as the adventures of Clara Lara (the titular confused Au Ra herself), this blog also posts many inspiring aesthetic pictures, reblogged FFXIV art and does a great job of celebrating the screenshots and gposes of others. A blog that I think might fly under the radar for a lot of people, but a real joy to follow and one of my favourite mutuals!

2. A blog who I wish posted more often - at least on Tumblr, as I think they are more active on the site formerly known as Twitter - would definitely be @phoebe-of-ivalice.

An incredibly talented writer and gposer, I am always very excited to see a new post from them. And despite being such an accomplished creator, they have always been very kind and friendly in every interaction I've ever had with them. Whilst I can fully understand that it's hard to spread yourself over multiple platforms, I can only hope those Twitter-types appreciate how lucky they are to have @phoebe-of-ivalice so active on their site!

Japanese only. I tried English at least once every expansion, but their voices just didn't click with me.

To be fair, Thancred and the twins sound okay in English, but overall the Japanese casting and direction are far superior.

(JP Y'shtola and JP Erenville all the way for me.)

I'm really not sure this poll will find its target audience bc I'm a small blog BUT I really really got curious lately so here we go.

Highlight a FFXIV blog with a variety of compelling OCs - perhaps so many that you're impressed they can keep track of them all.

&

Highlight a FFXIV blog that has made you think about a character or setting in a different way.

FFXIV Blog Positivity Ask Game. — OPEN

Thank you for the ask, @mimble-sparklepudding! Now, to answer them in order:

When it comes to variety, @yloiseconeillants's blog is the first one that comes to mind. The sheer amount of headcanons that go into every single one of her OCs, including their Ancient selves, are really something! They are witty and fun, and they sure keep things fresh, throwing my expectations out of the window every single time.

I'm sure everyone does shed a different light to their character or setting in their own ways, but @archaiclumina's Ren is one I'm still in awe. This intricate archival system that Ren uses is very very impressive, going beyond anything we can find in the canon. She really embodies the saying, "you do not want to mess with a librarian," in all aspects—her meticulous perfectionism is truly a force to be reckoned with.

Aside from their characters, the muns themselves are also cool and amazing people! I do recommend checking out their content to learn more about their blorbos. Let's support each other in this community and foster a positive, healthy relationship with everyone!

Thank you @why-raven for the tag!

Did this for Lidell since he's so new and needs to be fleshed out. Tagging @avaritia-ffxiv @justalittleraven @disaster-husbun @mist-touched and @zylphiacrowley! If you've already done it feel free to ignore or do for a different OC
