ME TOO ;_; my PF had just filled
Kyle NOOOO 😭
“How is chaotic alliance raid going?”
My friends and I started a book club but we’ve only read 2 books, did not stick to a schedule and just binged them, and now are paralyzed waiting for the 3rd book to come out in January because of the ending to the 2nd book.
I don’t think this is how book clubs work 😅
These are rookie numbers as I just started using Spotify consistently partway through the year but the duality of me:
Taylor Swift and Masayoshi Soken as my top 2
I just like to think about the fact that maybe Johnathan Bailey and Ariana Grande and Cynthia Erivo and Jeff Goldblum talked about their previous projects and maybe…maybe he mentioned G’raha in FFXIV and maybe showed them a little cutscene or a recording of one of his lines 😌
When I see wicked I’m wearing all of my G’raha Tia related merch 😤
Just thinking about how I binged and sobbed through Endwalker for 3 days and that was one of the best times of my gaming life 🥹
