Remember everyone, it is the Year of Dads! In particular, the two dads I want to support are Cyan and Tellah.

I don't have time to start trades yet but I wanted to get this in early so everyone remembered the Year of Dads!

Real answer - rather than just push it forward all in one go, I've slid noms forward three months from CXX to now, and while I may slide it a bit more forward more in the future, it won't be anything more drastic than a week or so.

Raijin

Trading 5 nominations for Raijin

Exdeath

Filling out my noms for now, why not. I'll see if any gain steam. I'm probs not gonna be able to support these properly anyway, but I like them and haven't been able to save them yet!

I am officially retiring (unless Aki makes it back in)

Just cutting the cord

welp I'm obligated to add to a Belle nomming even though I can't really juggle another character

Belle

I was prepared to wait and see if there was anyone someone else really wanted to push, since I'm relatively content with Y'shtola and Emet-Selch. Any of the Scions would be reasonable noms, Endwalker didn't introduce too many new characters, but in terms of leaving a big impression, Hydaelyn or Hythlodaeus would probably be up there. Then in general terms, Cid Garlond might be one of the most widely liked characters that hasn't gotten in yet?

also allow me to update you on all the new dffoo characters announced since last smfffc: Braska, Lunafreya, Minwu, Dorgann, Jack Garland, & Fusoya

There's a decent chance I don't participate this year - after moving back west it doesn't line up with my schedule as well and I don't want to literally lose sleep over these anymore - but I see some cool cats in noms so there you go

Anybody want to do 10 Narshe Moogles

Prompto

with Braska and Dorgann this year perhaps the way to get Rikku considered is to make her a dad
