A lot of xaela roleplayers are embarrassed by and ashamed of the culture that ffxiv's developers take pride in enthusiastically representing.

I can't sleep so went back to re-read my stories from #FFXIVWrite2025. This story was my favorite one that no one read. It's about choices and a knife. docs.google.com/document/d/1...

#wolqotd One piece of lore that I never get to use, for reasons that should be obvious: Saya practices shibari as an art form. I wrote a story about Saya and shibari here: docs.google.com/document/d/1...

My first ever screenshot of Saya (August 2020) and a recent one (2025). In five years I haven't changed anything about her. Eyes, skin, hair style. And as always, no mods at all. The community changes. The game changes. The world changes. Saya stays the same. I am proud of that.

I was very impressed by the level of research and fidelity of representation of Indian culture in Thavnair/Radz-at-Han. The developers and localizers exceeded my expectations. Here is a guide to the Indian cultural references present in Thavnair: docs.google.com/document/d/1...

The nine games that influenced who I am today. These are not my favorite games of all time (Okami, FF14, FFT are all missing from this list) but they are nine games that were formative for me in some essential way. my9games.com

Today is Holi, the Indian Festival of Colors. Holi is a celebration of life, the coming of spring, of love and passion. Happy Holi, everyone! #ffxiv #gposers #reshade #eorzeaphotos

What a surprise. A universe in your eyes. - Jill Scott #ffxiv #gposers #reshade #eorzeaphotos

Saya frequently makes sando for her friends. She's made ube, strawberries and cream, mango, and green tea sando. She cuts off the crust of the bread, too.

No, I don't. When I was younger, I worried often about the way my character was perceived in the eyes of others. I no longer feel that way. It's a very liberating feeling, to no longer have any interest at all in the way other roleplayers comprehend or perceive your character.

Whose woods these are I think I know. His house is in the village though; He will not see me stopping here To watch his woods fill up with snow. - Robert Frost #ffxiv #gposers #reshade #eorzeaphotos #gpose

207. First full moon of spring; For a moment, I'm still young --and the air, still sweet. #haiku #poetry #spring #senryu

A little bit of contempt is good for the soul.

I was inspired by the poster for "Kingdom" #ffxiv #gposers #reshade #eorzeaphotos #monsterhunter #kingdom

I was browsing my photoshop folder and found something silly I made a few years ago.

I intentionally wanted her appearance to evoke snow, ice, and coldness. She is pale as snow with white hair and blue eyes. I wanted her to seem cold and untouchable, so that the warmth underneath the surface is more unexpected. It worked a little too well.

Saya treats her sword with respect. Her sword is not beautiful. The grip is faded with use. The tsuba is missing. The sword has no name. The sword has taught her six lessons in her life. The six lessons of the sword: docs.google.com/document/d/1...
