The Nightmare Stalker from Born in Chaos!

You can call him Pookie too (IYKYK).

Boethiah Ash dye, from the Seasoned Difficulty Daedra Slayer achievement, advertised as a Purple Dye...It's just GREY and BORING.

Was anyone else INCREDIBLY disappointed with him. IDK why my brain thought "woah we are getting a werewolf? awesome!!" but then it was just A Dude™.

they threw a Bird, a cat, a little robot and a flame atronach as one, but we couldn't get a Werewolf Behemoth...or honestly i would have accepted an Argonian using the Werewolf Lord polymorph, because we don't get like any Argonian Houseguests/Assistants.

I suddenly find myself unseasonably warm.

So basically...I decided to see if MAYBE i have any weapons from the raid I could dismantle. (Especially all the chattering bones i had gotten from Morgeth)

and I am so sad to say that my Curated Nation of Beasts has the shader on it.

I am very torn because I've had this in my vault for many years, Curated Wepons used to be very rare and highly sought after due to their perk combination (which i think sometimes had Unique perks that are otherwise unobtainable?)

I basically kept all my Curated weapons in the vault because to me they were neat collectibles.

But i cannot believe that i would have to possibly give up my Curated Raid weapon...

is there any way to save the shader and the gun? Do I HAVE to dismantle the Curated gun (which i dont think exist anymore), to obtain the shader? The game lets me favorite the shader, but it does not actually exist in my collections.

I know it comes from Last Wish Raid, but I have never ONCE seen an item with this shader on it and I fear I never will.
It sucks that this is so RNG dependent. I have done the 1st encounter in the raid and Riven (for 1k Voices) so many times and i haven't seen it drop

I wanted to change my name because the one I had felt like it was getting stale...
but now I see that I am not allowed to change it whenever I want?

This Area is honestly what I've wanted aesthetically from CE. Exploring an actually lost, ancient civilization's world that they left behind.
The overgrown, almost Post-apocalyptic vibe really sets the mood and atmosphere to me, and is something I've always thought was really interesting.

A world that was once inhabited by a civilization long lost, they may be gone, but the world still continues on without them. We don't know what happened, but we know they aren't here anymore.

Pathways, houses, and other structures are overgrown and collapsing. Cars are left behind suddenly to rot and decay in the middle of streets, as if people were simply doing their daily routine one day, and were forced to leave, or worse.
I believe if this was any other game, we would have found bodies, bones, physical bodily remains of some sort. but obviously this is a side content zone, and i'm sure they can't get too carried away with environmental storytelling skeletons.

To me, this zone is reminder of why we need to take care of our little rock, and the people and other living beings on it, in this unimaginably vast emptiness of space, and why I wish more people would CARE about their fellow Space Rock Riders more. We don't have magical McGuffin >!Space Bunnies!< to whisk us away if things ever got really bad.
Our time here will one day come to an end, the planet will move on, hopefully.

My little melancholy rant aside (I'm sorry for waxing poetic here), if there is one thing I want somebody to take away from this:

Even though the world can sometimes feel cold or unfair, I still believe kindness matters a lot more than some people think, especially in our Modern times, with modern struggles. The world does not care about you, and it does not care about anyone else. HOWEVER, small acts of kindness and compassion can change the entirety of someone else's life.

The opposite is also true, so remember that the next time you feel the need to ignore, demean or belittle someone, regardless of your personal feelings towards them. You never know what somebody could be going through. In an uncaring world, the best thing we can do is care for each other. We do not have to accept cruelty as normal.

We are the children of calamity,

Shards of the picture we were meant to be,

Old commission i got 4 years ago from Xoddran. Originally based off of Final Fantasy 14: Endwalker. I just wanted to share it here because I like moody lore stuff like this.

My FA link for the art: https://www.furaffinity.net/view/48039306/

here is hoping the tier 4 cosmic stuff does not take as long lmao

Also thanks to Cosmic Exploration,I got all my Crafters to Level 100, which is something I never thought I'd be able to do. (I did start from level 60 technically from lazily doing GC Turn-ins, but it got way too expensive at that point)
