I went back to it, and I went HARDER.
So you could go a little less hard. 💙
The FFXIV-Arcwolf Eorzean Date Converter app is up and running! Check out the Aught Revision that explains it all here:
Then go try out the app here!
Share it with your friends!
If you really liked the app and wanted to, like, support it and stuff, that'd be great too! Cuz of the whole "trying to get a job thing." This time the links are on the app. 😸

Welp, I tried Reddit. Thought it might be a good place to publish some work, so I went ahead and put it up there. My this thing: https://murderofarcwolves.substack.com/p/popping-ffxivs-time-bubble
Let's just say that it would be awful if the FFXIV Community on Reddit were to suddenly have to, as a group, face the Bene Gesserit Gom Jabbar Test of Humanity. Like, 98% of them would be dead from immediately ripping their hand right out of that box. So sad, a life lived only by instinct and wholly without self-awareness.
Sounds like my abusers. Glad they're gone from my circle. Now so is Reddit, thank goodness!
Honestly, something like this would've been awful if I still cared what strangers on the internet thought of me. As with my abusers, I now see them as the weak, terrified, little monsters that they are, keeping their boots on the faces of kind, empathetic giants just so they can see above their own self-loathing.
It's why I can be here. Because I am free to post, receive no interaction, and continue to post happily again tomorrow. And because you are lovely enough that you make it worth it to come back tomorrow even if nothing comes from my posts today. 💙
Thank you for that, BTW!
This is the power of compensatory ego-building, which I highly recommend for any kind person who's self-esteem has also been stomped to mush by weak, terrified, little monsters who we taught ourselves to fear because we didn't wanna be mean and laugh at them instead.

Finally, you get my FULL mathematical conceptualization of a 1:1 conversion between Eorzean calendar dates and Gregorian calendar dates.
Enjoy! (Or if you hate math, suffer!) But with love. 💙

EDIT: TFW you find you redefined a word instead of explaining it.
Oops, and fixed! The key moment:
True mathematical randomness: quarter lands on heads 100 times in a row with low probability but zero shame
Lived experience of randomness: actually stochasticity, not randomness

A revision? Already?! Whaaaaaaa....?! 🙀
You inspired me, @xeno and @kris_of_pnictogen!

Not yet, but that's the plan! I've already decided Macbeth will be Mhach's Archmagus, someone who takes the role first filled by Shattoto Shato.
I am most excited about who the three witches might be. I have an idea. I might pull back out the three Paragons that caused the fall of Troyv: Igeyorhm, Deudalaphon, and Halmarut. Not sure yet.
I just know with 100% certainty that Macbeth will be named The Tragedy of Sasankhu.
The Tragedy of Sasankhu
After receiving a void-prophecy that he would rule the vaunted Magocracy of Mhach, the ambitious voidmage Sasankhu Onkonkhu murders the High Arcmagus to seize the High Seat of Mhach.
His reign becomes a nightmare of blood and paranoia as he attempts to use void magic to prevent his power from fading.
Sasankhu's fate reaches its climax when he is slain by a rival who exploits a linguistic flaw in the prophecy’s logic, leaving the "Son of Life" to be unmade by the very shadows he sought to command.

Today I was asked what I was working on fiction-wise, and I realized why I maybe feel a little overwhelmed. :P
Right now I'm editing two diegetic pieces written or translated by my Final Fantasy XIV characters, including my Allagan adaptation of Shakespeare's Julius Caesar—Ĵwlŷs Kæsar (set in 3AE) by Liam Meri'a Morvelet (5AE), translated by a team led by L. Maxx Arcwolf-Kisne commissioned by his mother Joan Arcwolf-Dhivri (7AE)—and a quantum aetherophysics paper proposing a cosmological model for the entire FFXIV multiverse named the "666 Fractal Manifold Model."
On top of that I'm editing a fan fiction short story about my FFXIV characters on a mission in Dalmasca named "My Brother's Keeper," which is the story of how a Cain-type "big brother" figure does right by his Abel (by choosing to be his brother's keeper rather than shirking that responsibility) even if his Abel is a little shit sometimes.
Finally, I'm working on an original novel called Blank, about a mage with DID (and her fox-man friend) who uses her dissociation to save the world from the First Curse (the Curse of the White—the Araleuk) and a Roko's basilisk-type entity from the Yawning Abyss that is both the cause of our suffering and the effect of our cruelty towards one another named Mhosrow, the Mother of All Abominations, Queen of the Yawning Abyss. The name Mhosrow is a proto-Indoeuropean name meaning "the Maws that Belch Forth."
I don't know how I'm able to keep it all separate, but I guess it helps that it's all happening from the same "framework" in a pataphysical sense. Somehow. In my head. It just works. I can't pretend to understand why. XD

New lore just dropped!
button
An archaic word meaning “butt,” as in the butt of a joke. Notably, Allagan fashion had not used buttons in several decades, and buttons on one’s clothes had become a symbol of poverty or being out of touch with the times: a subject of mockery and ridicule. The last piece of common Allagan fashion to lose buttons was the undergarment, which retained a button-flap until it was replaced entirely by the advent of the zipper and other magitek adhesives. This is likely how the word “butt” became associated with the human rear end, and later with other objects that taper to a blunt end. Eorzean appears to have adopted the word “butt” in place of the earlier word “arse” some time during the Fifth Astral Era.
it was Ekkadite to me
In the Fourth Astral Era, many early scribes became proficient in ancient Allagan but had little to no knowledge of the Ekkadite alphabet or language. When a scribe or student encountered an Ekkadite quotation in an Allagan text, they would write “Ekadý pwgt; nå şadag tw’gyv.” Literally, this means “Ekkadite it is; it, one does not read.” The indirect pronoun gyv means “it,” and the contracted pronoun preceding it, tw’, is the direct third person pronoun “one.”
(I guess technically the translation of the second half is "doesn't read one-it." 🤔 )

Holy shit.... THE SHADE!!! 🙀
Villains, you did not so when your serwlån blades
Hacked one another in the sides of Kaĩsar.
You bared your teeth like opo, fawned like puk
And bowed like bondmen, kissing Kaĩsar’s feet,
Whilst damnèd Kaskå, like a cur, behind
Struck Kaĩsar on the neck. O you flatterers!—from Julỹs Kaĩsar (Act V, Scene 1)
That word? Serwlån is an Allagan name for the sickly deep blue that colors ceruleum, what the Allagans called serwlỹm. It also happened to match the color profile of the aetheric arcs that formed the bladed edges of late Middle Allagan melee weaponry.
