Don't worry about it being late. Everyone wish Dzunge of the Oronir a happy Mother's Day NOW!

Lunch break screenshots. I amaze myself with what I can do in twenty minutes with an in-game emote, simple shaders, and no posing tools. Practice gpose, and you'll amaze yourself, too. #ffxiv #gposers #reshade #eorzeaphotos #gpose #elvashaders

224. The sky keeps changing; I look for the same spring moon behind new houses. #haiku #poetry #spring #senryu

Still the best thing I've ever written. It's playable here. ngpmrdwf.play.borogove.io

"In one sword, ten thousand stances. In one stance, ten thousand strikes. To decide between one and another is to hesitate. To hesitate is to die. As the purpose of the sword is to cut, the purpose of the mind is to cut away all possibilities, arrive at certainty--and strike." #ffxiv #gpose

More experimentation. #ffxiv #gposers #reshade #eorzeaphotos #gpos

Two months ago I quietly made the decision never to seek out duels at the Bloodsands again, and it's made me significantly happier as a roleplayer.

The world is becoming harsher for transgender people right now. Darkness stretches before and behind them, and the pain is growing. Their wish remains simple — to love who they love and live true to themselves🏳️‍⚧️🏳️‍🌈 This is why we must join hands and change the world with compassion.

I completely forgot that years ago, I wrote a story about a Vath who became a samurai. It was fun. Here it is. docs.google.com/document/d/1...

Post a FFXIV meme made by you

Post a FFXIV meme made by you.

Samurai attends dueling events in order to make friends, accidentally intimidates everyone into putting her on a pedestal, accepts solitude as her lot forever.

Today while talking to friends, I was reminded of this essay I wrote after finishing Endwalker, about why this expansion matters to me, through the lens of Buddhism. No expansion will ever top Endwalker for me, but I loved Dawntrail. It's been a fun ride. docs.google.com/document/d/1...

"Do it alone."

Lunch break screenshot. Have this poem by Rumi that I read today: Go my friend, bestow your love even on your enemies if you touch their hearts what do you think will happen? -Rumi, Ghazal 838 #ffxiv #gposers #reshade #eorzeaphotos #gpose

won't you stay gone? #sunforged 🔸 #isletides

"how will we live tomorrow?" dawntrail you will never not be my perfect expansion

Did he appear Because I fell asleep Thinking of him? If only I’d known I was dreaming I’d never have awakened. - Ono no Komachi, 834 AD #ffxiv #gposers #reshade #eorzeaphotos #gpose

Reposting an old favorite, because it's such an unseasonably warm day today. I made this by positioning Saya in the water and having her swim backward to suggest reclining against the flower like some kind of water nymph. #ffxiv #gposers #reshade #eorzeaphotos

Fun with the new /conduct emote. Eyelid control + beam, eye tracking and head tracking. Pause the keyframe at the highest arc of her hand to align it with her eye. Use ReLight with a very low intensity and high blue saturation just between her eye and her hand. Desaturate everything else.

#ffxiv #gposers #reshade #eorzeaphotos

Yes, and yes, it is the point.

I'd like to think it's the aesthetic, to which I try to be completely consistent.

Outside of fun events like Summer of Blood, I never really liked Frontline, but I never hated it either. I could do it mindlessly and enjoy the few fleeting moments of success I found, keeping Battle High or ending someone else's. These new Frontline changes have robbed what little fun was there.

Oh whoops what do you mean I never posted this here (ffxiv got me thinkin about Them again)

Fenrir is bound by the chains of Samsara. #ffxiv #gposers #reshade #eorzeaphotos #kyrencinematic

I can say with confidence that Saya is the favorite of your followers.

Saya visits Sharlayan in the spring. #ffxiv #gposers #reshade #eorzeaphotos

What if you were in Saya's class and decided to sketch her instead of doing your homework? (A composite image made with a pencil sketch shader, courtesy of #gposingway)

Saya's eyes are beautifully expressive. She conveys so much just by the way she looks at someone. The new patch gives vanilla gposers like me eyelid control for even greater nuance of expression.

I'm a really big fan of this man. I read his book and he is the only person in the e-sports scene who both understands the deep psychological toll of burnout and how to get out of it. "Just learning one tiny thing every day was enough for me" is something he said that helps me with gposing.

Don't care didn't ask plus my skin glimmers in Azim's light.

223. Wren singing alone-- are you waiting for someone to talk to you, too? #haiku #poetry #spring

222. Sun in my window. First, put two feet on the floor; find out why later. #haiku #sentryu #poetry #spring

My polite and effective way of saying this is this screenshot and a heavy handed but gentle stare at…quite a few of you.

221. Fingers spread open to catch raindrops in its palm: new magnolias. #haiku #poetry #spring

Never do I feel more in need of hobbies than when work is rough and demanding overtime and everyone is in a perpetual state of crash-out mode.

Just some practice in the fifteen minutes I have before work. It's important to push yourself to do the things that give you joy, when work is busy and life is stressful. Starting is always the hardest part. #ffxiv #gposers #reshade #eorzeaphotos
