I’m so used to healing that leveling up my Dark Knight has got me -mad- shy when jumping into roulettes without friends. 😅 I try to let people know I’m mostly fresh at tanking at the jump but I’m still anxious.

All set! Ready to tank and/or AFK in Limsa. 😂 I was originally gonna’ be lazy and skip the hip armor but peeps are right… it brings it all together. #ffxiv #viera

Making some changes to my fave tank glam for DragonCon. A few things to go but man, I love the black/sliver combo. 🥹 #ffxiv

SUCH DEVASTATION. I’ve never seen back to back Choco Meteors like that. Fucking wild. 🤣 I still won but Jesus. #ffxiv

The dynamic duo. 🥹 #ffxiv #ff14

I got the “Veteran Jockey” title so long ago but you can still find Goose racing in these streets. 😌 Bested a SS (Super Sprint) build buy crowding the line at the red blocks and forcing them into a hazard to drain what little stamina they had left. Necessary? No, but I’m petty at times. 😂 #ffxiv

Still stoked from my time in AZ (despite that dry-ass heat) at Calan Mai. Adjustments for sexy Mordecai due to that heat, but the fit kinda’ hits. 🙂‍↔️ #dcc #mordecai @katwyv.bsky.social as Carl

Oh my god. PvP in XIV is rough starting out. 😅

Attended my first bookish event out in AZ and I gotta say, it was a great vibe. 😌 I didn’t take many pics but I rocked sexy Mordecai in some variation or another most days. #calanmai #dcc #dungeoncrawlercarl #mordecai

Adventures in the rain. 🐰🎒 @boer_media (please, find him on IG!) killed it with this one after we got caught in some pretty bad weather and had to trek back to the car. Absolutely love this shot. 🥹 #ffxiv #ff14 #erenville #viera #cosplay (Tags in comments)

We decided to shoot in what’s arguably the worst weather I’ve seen in a long time. We did end up at Jollibee after and after some extreme confusion, the staff loved us when we let them know we’re from the collab game. 😂 w/ @juicecoser.bsky.social @en.finalfantasyxiv.com #ffxiv #jollibee

Ready for a DPS check at the bar? 😂 #ffxiv #ff14 #fanfest

"It was my duty to serve as the challenger's final test... and to ensure their hands would not be sullied!" Bringing the Tyrant to life at our Arcadion shoot meant the absolute world to me. I love this character so much, and I can't wait to share more of him! Credits below #FFXIV #cosplay #Tyrant

"What's your favorite color?" 🎨🫟 I had SO much fun cosplaying Sugar Riot at FanFest, and getting together with a huge Arcadion group for a photoshoot!!

Whenever I start feeling those post-con blues (and boy do I), I go through my gallery of photos from the weekend. So many good ones, but this one of @tsukiyakii.bsky.social and I hugging it out is just too damn precious. Almost impossible for me to be sad every time I see it. 🥹🥹🥹

Why does this give me strong album cover vibes? 😂 Anyway, I love the height accuracy here. For reference, I’m 6’3” without any assist. 🙂‍↔️ #ffxiv #ff14 #fanfest #ffxivfanfest #dancinggreen #sugarriot is @guavi.bsky.social (The best 🥹) (Additional tags in comments)

Got my first G’raha Tia photo back from @joeats.bsky.social ! I made most of this cosplay in 2020, finished pants/boots in 2023, and finally finished the staff last month. It was a journey! Staff 3D file: @dangerousladies.ca #ffxiv #ff14 #ffxiv_cc M’linda Chan (Balmung) @en.finalfantasyxiv.com

The bathroom lighting is unbeatable. So is Tyrant's ass. #FFXIV #FanFest2026 #Tyrant #cosplay

found this stage pic of me at #Fanfest by johncolasante (ig) - if you were on Glamoured to Life they have a bunch of stage shots of everyone! #ffxiv #cosplay #notgodzillacosplay

I didn’t rock DG in the Thav fit for too long but I love it. I’m def inspired to start learning more in-game dances/emotes. 😌 #ffxiv #ff14 #fanfest #ffxivfanfest

hi I'm gonna need a couple more of these drinks to get through the post Fanfest slump thank you

hands you a yan. hands you a yan. hands you a yan. hands you a-

One of my absolute favorite parts of FanFest was helping to pose people for pics. It meant a lot to hear how much people appreciated such a small gesture. 🥹

Dancing Green and Black Cat! 🥹 #ffxiv #ff14 #ffxivfanfest #fanfest @jp.finalfantasyxiv.com Black Cat (and maker of both costumes) @juicecoser.bsky.social Viera ears/wig @turtlesmithy.bsky.social & @malindachan.bsky.social Necklace acc. @dangerousladies.ca 📸 @s.l.visions (on the ‘Gram)

Schmoovin’. My absolute favorite part of this clip is just the perfect timing of randomly hitting the spotlight dance mechanic at the end and shutting off the spotlight. Like, it just couldn’t get any better than that. 🙏🏾 #ffxiv #ff14 #fanfest #dancinggreen #ffxivfanfest (Tags in comment)

On the topic of my other FanFest fit, it ain’t a con unless I’m getting stopped by security. 🙂‍↕️ @juicecoser.bsky.social’s expression is absolutely killing me here. You know what you signed up for when we left the hotel! 🤣 #ffxiv #ff14 #fanfest #ffxivfanfest #cosplay

Couldn’t groove -quite- as hard in this fit, but I did a lil’ schmoovin’ and groovin’ anyway. 🙂‍↔️

I need to give a shoutout to the #AOTA conference that happened at the same time as #fanfest. What a wonderful bunch of people to be so warm and open-minded! I’m 99% sure I jump scared quite a few people but the interactions were always pleasant and they were quickly down to clown. 😂 #ffxiv #ff14

Oh! My Glamoured to Life walk! I totally blacked out as soon as I hit the runway. All I remember on that first step was “Oh no, it’s carpet” 😂 Glad it came out well! #ffxiv #ff14 #fanfest #fanfest2026 #dancinggreen #dg #cosplay @en.finalfantasyxiv.com (Tags in comment)

Saturday night somehow managed to turn into a perfect storm of awesomeness that’ll forever be a core memory for me. From having the opportunity/privilege to help to pose The Man himself to sharing a drink with everyone that came out. Truly, thank you @en.finalfantasyxiv.com #ffxiv #ff14 #fanfest

Y’all. I am so incredibly honored that they gposed this fit. 🥹 Here’s a saucier fit (my typical WoL glam) that I rocked for a lil’ bit on Sat. #ffxiv #ff14 #fanfest #dancinggreen #cosplay

“Bro. You want a drink from the bar? Let’s do it together” 😂 I’m so flattered that Dancing Green was so well-received. Thank you to everyone sending stuff my way and/or tagging me, seriously. Such an incredible weekend. 🥹 #ffxiv #ff14 #fanfest #dancinggreen #cosplay (Tags in the comment)
