Cog's Corner

A Final Fantasy blog (which used to be about FFXIV roleplay but who am I kidding it’s just my personal/general FF blog now) that's totally about a goblin tinkerer named Cogflox Twinklygears and her eight "assistants." {Baithin Alberona} {Azionne Melisandre} {Edge Marbrand} {Gogonegi Momonegi} {Granny Moss} {Linini Mooglesworn} {Siz'ir Johcandalo} {Yue Dustdreamer} All on Balmung! {Majv Saga} {Pachi Jovas} Zalera

Gonna make a pinned post I guess

Name: Matt, sometimes I use Cogs (as in a XIV OC, Cogflox), Baithin, or Flibbertigibbi on other sites though

On tumblr since: like 2010 (🤮)

Currently writing: Opera Omnia: Opus Divinitas, a fanfic continuing the story where Dissidia Opera Omnia left off at the end of Act 4. Also dabbling in some original fiction.

Hi! This is my tumblr where I mostly reblog posts about various FF games and occasionally yell about them in the tags. I have played every single main game and almost every spinoff and I genuinely love them all. Occasionally you’ll see other fandom posts but it’s mostly FF.

Favorite games: XIV, X/X-2, and XII

Currently playing: FF Explorers, last played FFXIV Dawntrail

I’m also a bit known for Distorted Reality, an Avatar: The Last Airbender fanfic.

XIV characters: Edge Marbrand, Baithin Alberona, Azionne Melisandre, Granny Moss, Gogonegi Momonegi, Linini Mooglesworn, Siz’ir Johcandalo, Yue Dustdreamer (Balmung), and also Pachi Jovas, Majv Saga (Zalera). No, I don’t really play them all anymore :(

FF games I still need to play/finish: Dirge of Cerberus, Lightning Returns (mostly done), Dissidia Duodecim (mostly done), FFXV Comrades DLC, My Life as a King/Darklord, Chocobo Fables, FF Explorers, Vagrant Story (I’m counting it)

Sorry, I do not have a consistent tagging system because I’m just too lazy.

FFXII Week - Day 1: Favourite Character

Judge Drace
Could it be I am simply enamoured by an older lady knight? Could it be that she has the rawest lines in the series? Who can say...

PROMPT #8: [EXTRA CREDIT]

When Rosenheim had promised his daughter he would go on a vacation - her precise command had been for him to "stop haunting the Sandsea for a single bell" - he had committed himself to finding the most remote place he could reach on his own two feet.

He had not expected to find fun activities for adventurers already there awaiting him.

"Oooh!" The Miqo'te girl's ears fluttered with what he could only assume was delight as she surveyed the pages of the journal she'd given him. "You went through an old Garlean fortress? Filled with test subjects?"

"A few times, in fact." But she had already explained the rules to him, in meticulous detail: such exploits only counted if he had completed them within the past week. Even the Warrior of Light herself would be hard-pressed to retain her status as savior of the realm under such conditions.

"That sounds to me like it's worth an extra-special sticker!" The girl rummaged about in a little pocket at her waist, then pulled out a holographic rendering of a mandragora and placed it firmly upon his journal page. "There!"

"Wait a moment." He shook his head, then pointed to the middle of the grid, still only half-full of stickers. "There's an empty space right there. That would make it a double win."

The girl laid a finger on her chin in a rather terrifying facsimile of contemplation for one who had seen so few namedays. "But I think it goes better here! Mr. Mandragora likes the corners. See?"

He snatched the journal back from her without any signs of acquiescence - one did not, after all, negotiate with terrorists - and gave its contents another scan.

The next, most feasible items on the girl's checklist were a regular Maelstrom patrol for signs of Leviathan summonings, and an expedition to one of Sharlayan's northernmost research isles.

Rosenheim snapped the journal shut, placed it on the girl's desk, and left it there as he strode back to the aetheryte plaza.

"W-Wait!" she called after him. "Where are you going?!"

He offered no answer: even on vacation, he was not in the habit of shouting his destination for all and sundry to overhear. Only when he teleported back to the Sandsea did he procure his linkpearl and dial Ashelia's frequency.

It had to be nearing midnight in Tural, but wherever his daughter was, she picked up the call amid vibrant music and shouts of laughter.

"Everything alright?" she asked him - and her voice, damn her, was smug.

She knew as well as he did that if he was to board a ship, he would sooner take one to somewhere with a cold drink waiting for him at journey's end.

It’s not like I drifted here on the tides of fate. I’m here because I chose to be here.
