now playing ー ✦ A Jellyfish Playlist~

lucidiot gave me the idea to include a glossary of all the strange terms my friend Eggy and I use, since it’s become such a part of my vocabulary I forget it might not be something others are familiar with. so, as per his suggestion, here goes a glossary of as many terms as I could think of in what I will be calling “Egglish,” the shared language Eggy and I use. many of these terms are final fantasy xiv-centric because Egg and I met playing ffxiv. x3
