Primarily an FFXIV space with a smattering of assorted other interests, plus writing and the occasional personal post. Not an RP blog.

Since Garlemald is cold most of the year…

Do you think Cid and Nero know how to ice skate or ski? What about sledding?

… Yeah, these are some of the thoughts I had after watching some of the winter Olympics. Imagine Nero figure skating or Cid skiing! XD

I see your skiing and figure-skating Garleans and raise you curling Garleans.

…curling Ishgardians, too.

@tehjai, your thoughts on a Garlean vs. Ishgardian curling match?

okay so

Ishgardians use good ol corn brooms because that’s TRADITION and TRADITION IS IMPORTANT and they still deliver with backswings and play outdoors

garleans use the BALANCE PLUS brush-head, are all ripped like Thomas Ulsrud, definitely have the hogline tech in their rocks and use fancy delivery stabilizers

Cid and Nero share a patent on the garlean slider.

they would rather not talk about how it came to be

For reference, Thomas Ulsrud:

*heavy breathing*

ANYWAY yes yes and yes. Though I can’t imagine either team wearing crazy pants a la Norway…

…The Sharlayans do, though.

(Also mixed doubles: Aymeric and Lucia vs. Gaius and Livia. Because it would be awkward and hilarious.)
