Now that I have circles active - since I know it's not everyone's cup of tea, I'd like to contain ship-related talk to folks I'm sure would like to hear about it.
Like/reply to be included and you can, of course, ask to be removed at any time with no hard feelings. :)

We all had our moments in EW that made the whole journey worthwhile. Mine just happened to be Zenos and Papalymo beating the snot out of each other.
I will maintain forever that Papalymo could have offered valuable insight to the Ryne storyline in ShB.
Like he's been in Thancred's position. He knows exactly what its like to have a confused young girl wearing your dead bestie's name and face.
I think that would have
(The last one was attracting bots. Trying again.)
Awhile ago, I had said that if Papalymo had made it to ShB, he would have had an ongoing feud with the pixies mistaking him for a child, leading to a Merlin-esque tantrum.
I finally decided to buy it as a custom animation. :3c
"Hurry UP, Papalymo!"
"What have I said about manhandling me?!"
"Your stubby legs are going to make us miss the airship!"
"Which wouldn't be a matter if you hadn't slept in! You're a bloody clown, Yda!"
"Yeah, and you're the balloons I walk around with. Now COME ON!"
@sylessae
High school friend's husband hired me to do character art and graphics for his mobile game. We agreed on $400 for the whole package since I was out of work and desperately needed money at the time. When i was close to being done, he told me he couldn't pay me because he had
Wanted to recreate the ending of All Dogs Go To Heaven with Papalymo and Lyse.
Then I got horribly sick for a few weeks and postponed uploading it because I was like "This cannot be the last thing I ever post."
Anyway, here.
@ViviiVT
I had someone slap me and then send me a tell saying they'd reported me because it was against TOS to resemble an NPC. I asked why they sold the NPC costumes in the official store, then, and she told me to stop harassing her. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
@SouthSeaScion
I know, right? Between this and he and Emet exchanging grouchy old man vibes until they became friends, he would have upset the whole storyline.
Shoutout to the two catgirls who immediately began beating up the guy who gave me an unsolicited /slap while we were all waiting for ocean fishing. I have never felt more avenged.
tfw you have to talk yourself into handing off her mask to her sister because she needs it more than you do, not knowing the butterfly effect this is going to have on your life.
Didn't get around to sharing this earlier because I'm recovering from a concussion and it slipped my mind, but YO - look at this amazing commission from
@warawaserareru
;w;
I loved the outfit they picked out for him so much I recreated it in-game as his new RDM glam!
People really like assuming the worst of Papalymo or laughing him off as a forgotten ARR footnote.
But that little guy cared so much, and deserved much better than the write-off he got. He was holding so much back for others' sake, and I wish we could hear more about it.
I want to try something different
Who are the ffxiv NPCs that other people tend to complain about but that you really love? Tell me what you love about them :3
Sorry for the absence. I've been tunnel-visioning on PVP trying to get the garo mounts. I'm pretty awful at PVP, so you can imagine how it's going. BUT JUST IN CASE YOU CAN'T (profanity warning, btw):

"Well, duty calls. I'm afraid I must be off. It was good to visit."
"All right, but before you go... come here."
"Father... honestly, you're making a scene."
"Ah, the great Saviour of the Twelveswood is too important to hug his old man now?"
"*SIGH*"
I keep saying Papalymo and Yda would have loved Il Mheg, but I know Papalymo would have hated it.
Pixies constantly mistaking him for a child because they've never seen a lala, trying to steal him away, and four times a week he's gotta be like
I commissioned a gpose mod that isolates the scion striker's visor/mask as a prop and immediately chose pain. ;w;
I imagine, right thing to do or not, parting with her mask for Lyse's sake was not an easy decision.
Ive seen this going around. But how about we change it up?
Gposers and all those who just simply enjoy taking pics of your blorbos. Which pic do you think your iconic for? And let others reply to you with what pic they think you are iconic for 📸
tfw the realization dawns that Fourchenalt and Papalymo were almost certainly playmates when they were very small because there's no way Professor Totolymo and Louisoix were besties and DIDN'T make their kids hang out together at every opportunity.
"Hey, you guys got any Papalymo figures left?"
"S-Sorry, the what figure?"
"Oop, my bad *tears open the dimensional fabric and steps into a timeline that doesn't suck* Hey, you guys got any Papalymo figures left?"
"New shipment just came in today, here ya go."
help one of my friends who knows nothing of FFXIV but is well-aware of how much I love the cranky little man had a plush made for my birthday and I'm sobBING. He's too pure, I'm not worthy ;;
@Very_Merri
Yeah. Ordered $15 worth of food, spent $36 to get it here, only to be given the run-around by four customer service representatives who all had a different excuse as to why I was not getting my pizza emote. Never again.
@IamAMedicineMan
True, Skype became obsolete for a lot of reasons. But I recall the unwanted "improvements" to the UI being the final straw for the gamers. Discord was in the right position to absorb everyone and assured them they'd never be as tonedeaf as Skype was. And, well...
I'm not really a craftsman so I didn't expect great results from cobbling together a monocle for

's Papalymo doll, but it wasn't nearly as painful as I thought :'D
I love purchasing commissions and then promptly forgetting all about them until they turn up in my inbox weeks later. It's like Christmas morning :3

Thank you for the hours of gameplay, the friends I made, and for giving Lyse and Papalymo the closure they denied. I appreciate that more than I can express.
When you get invited to Halloween parties but your social battery is limited, so you end up eating treats alone in your apartment like a gremlin for half the night
I saw other people posting the glam you get for finishing and fully developing your island and I was sad because I thought I'd have to exclude the hat from the outfit to keep his monocle.
I did not realize it was part of the shirt. I'm so happy ;w;
I hired someone on Etsy to make a Pap/Yda pair of custom Nendoroid heads with OB11 bodies. I was a little worried when they shipped sight unseen but he just posted them in his latest commission advert and asdfghjk
Me: Do you think Papalymo had to take electives like choir when he was in the studium?
Friend: Maybe. If the VA can sing, the character can sing. I don't make the rules.
Me: *checks* .... Oh. Oh okay.
Lalapril Day 1 - Legacy
Overseer Sokles: "Should you find yourself without direction in a future lifetime, Charmion, I am certain I shall be drawn by the call to counsel you further."
Lyse's story. The grief and trauma surrounding her was very unique, but instead of using it to help build her as a character, they summed it all up in a monologue and swept Yda and Papalymo under the rug going forward.
There's so much backstory there we'll never know.
i want to know, what character arc pissed you off? what arc made absolutely no sense and every time you think about it you want to ask the writers why the hell they did it
Seraph!Lyse: Can you help me decorate my new house?
Seraph!Papalymo: Do I LOOK like an interior decorator to you?
Also Seraph!Papalymo: *installing a lavish bathroom absolutely no one asked for*
@memelonmelon
I've worried they might decide to reincarnate him later into a form the fanbase might find more appealing and all these people will come out of the woodwork pretending they liked him all along now that he's hot. I will scream. You'll hear it across nations.
Lalapril - Vigil
Night patrols in the Shroud were dangerous - doubly so when the need to rest crept in. As such, he and Yda took turns being on watch in hour-long shifts until morning.
"Yes, Antecedent, all is quiet in the Central Shroud. Should it remain so, we expect to arrive in Fallgourd Float by sundown. On the morrow, we'll continue onward to-- ... ... ... Yda!"
(her record is 32 flowers before he notices)
I like to think that Papalymo believes that all schools of magic ought to be held in esteem. He, therefore, strongly dislikes the blue being reduced to circus tricks/arena scrapping and insists on dressing like a proper mage while practicing it.
@FF_XIV_EN
You'll get most of the gear upgrades you need as you progress through MSQ. Don't feel compelled to blow all your gil at the armor vendor every time you're able.
HNNH. I bought this doujin about Papalymo meeting the Hext sisters, and I am feeling all sorts of things.
There's a point where Lyse konks out asleep, Pap and Yda take a walk to let her rest, and once they're alone Yda finally breaks down about their whole ordeal 🥺
I didn't realize how badly I needed them to be smol mage buddies until Papalymo tried to ask Lightning what was wrong, she told him to screw off, and Shantotto swung in out of nowhere to get his back. :'D
Logic: "The differences between plainsfolk and dunesfolk aside from their eyes are really subtle. Like REALLY subtle. No one cares.
Me: Understood. However... *installs Dunesfolk faceplate*
