there is a level of whimsy in looking at brio in sheer horror after having a gpose idea and asking yourself "how the fuck am i gonna make this work" that AI will never be able to replicate

For 2026, I really need to relearn how to do mashups because I'm tired of wading through 150 body types and/or pages and pages of dresses/feminine styles to try and find styles that suit my guys and work on basic ole B+ and TBSE. Guess I need to start cooking my own food.

When you're rp'ing with a friend and the lore starts cooking. 🤌

Don't know that I've improved that much over the year. I just kind of do what I do....so some days are better than others. I have started working more with lighting and VFX, so I guess that's something.

i go to bed. i am consumed by overwhelming loneliness. i stare at the ceiling. i long for something i can’t name. i question if i’m real. i see a funny little meme on my phone and laugh hysterically for several minutes. i get too invested in an unrealistic fantasy

No idea. Former oomfs who block me don't give reasons, they just do it.🤷‍♀️ I don't even know if/when anyone's mad at me.

Me looking down at my characters, making sure they're suffering enough

How I am walking out of 2025:

Hyperia: Nope, she's straight as an arrow Sanji: Panromantic/Demisexual

ai? Oh, you mean the brain melting machine? The stuff turning you into soup? The beep booping you need to come up with ideas for you? Inspiration for you? Research and learn for you? You yearn for the slop? Our ancestors etched drawings onto stone walls, and yet here you are, generating. Pathetic.

a ship needs to be a little codependant and toxic to be fun. It's fiction, after all. ships need to be a bit fucked up

my favorite meme for this time of the year

None of mine are the WoL so, for the most part, they're not that powerful. Without all her tech and prosthetic weaponry, Hyperia's just a regular person who's a decent fighter and very intelligent. Sanji...is something of a magical powerhouse if he taps into the full extent of his abilities. >>

Steam Replay calling out my hyperfixations. No, I don't buy/DL much from Steam unless I have to. (FFXIV not being on there for this very reason).

Looking back at the games of 2025 thread, I realize that Sanji's gotten ALL the progression and development this year. Poor Hyperia's stuck with just "I lost my arms and reconciled with my ex" and that's about it. Poor girl needs *something* to try and keep up with her husband!

Four games that defined my 2025. It's funny because all three of the other ones actually heavily influenced my OC lore for FFXIV in some way or another, giving me tidbits of ideas to take back and expand on my guys even more. 🧵 for those interested in the details....>>

In her domain.... (Experimenting with a few new looks for her) #FFXIV | #GPose | #HyperiaQuinntus | #OCs

Hyperia's not quite professional-level, but she's pretty good. Ice skating was definitely a thing back in Garlemald! She can go backwards, do turns, jump-spins, etc, but not at a competitive level. Sanji? He's holding onto the side (and/or Hyperia) the whole time. >>

For Hyperia, since there's not an "engineering" craft, it's a mix of Armorer (for external components/armor), Blacksmith (for the rough inner workings/weaponry), and Goldsmith (for the delicate inner workings/circuitry). Sanji? Culinarian...of course!

remember when we got the stone of azem and the dialogue was like "oh boy you better only use this in the critical critical moment when you need the most because power like this don't grow on trees huh don't waste it" and since then every single enemy has to face meteor and the pussycat dolls

Everyone bitching about the new techwear release and I'm just cackling happily at how much Hyperia's wardrobe continues to expand by leaps and bounds since DT.

If you're ever online wondering: "They probably think I'm annoying." "They're probably talking about me behind my back." Who gives a shit, bro? You can't do anything about that, but I bet there are plenty of others who enjoy your vibe, your creations/posts/whatever. Hang on tight to the latter.

Been spending a lot of time on Mateus RPing with friends, so Hyperia and Sanji tend to stay parked there more often than not. But when I go to 'port them over to one of their houses and they're not on the list, I get a brief moment of panic...until I realize I'm not on my home server.

good day to all the beautiful people that are lost in the sauce because it's the day after christmas but it doesn't really feel like it was christmas in the first place

"Fuck canon," I say as I continue sticking as closely to canon as I can.

people are saying do it scared, but you also gotta do it alone. you’ll miss out on so much you want to do if you wait til someone will do it with you. do it scared and do it alone

Just spending a little time in the Jianghu this Christmas. Exploring the lands and enjoying the scenery. #WhereWindsMeet

This can be a difficult and nuanced discussion, especially for people that are out of the tech loop. I try to break it down as AI = shit you've been using for over a decade. Predictive text. NPC enemy AI. Specialized machine learning. GenAI = shit built on stolen/scraped assets from the Internet

I'm just saying: the track record has historically been Not Good with accounts devoted entirely to directing Anger At Sin, particularly in how they tend to flatten every instance into the worst possible example of said Sin

Yup....that tracks....

Society when the internet realizes that 99% of "bad takes" are spouted out by bored idiots who are desperate for attention/a reaction, and just ignores them instead of feeling the need to engage and spread it to the rest of the internet.

I love my little wuxia protagonist....🥰 #FFXIV | #GPose | #SanjiKamakura | #OCs

I want people to think more critically over AI and understand WHICH AI is the kind ruining our environment (it's genAI). AI in general has been around for decades and fear mongering over anything labeled "AI" is doing more harm than good. The AI that detects cancer isn't genAI.

Still trying to fight off this flu/cold/whatever and my body decided to give me an early Xmas present! ... ...Shark week! (Yes, I'm using the same gif as last week because it just fits exactly how I'm feeling!)

If you show up to my door unannounced, and you're NOT here to say I'm the chosen one of prophecy, and whisk me away to a fantastical world on an adventure of a lifetime, you're not welcome.

This pupper is worth every gil coin he has spent to get him. #GPOSERS | #EorzeaPhotos | #Hrothgar

It's 4:30 am on a Monday and I have to get ready to go back to work after being sick for the past four days, but first...I must work on turning Sanji into the Wuxia protagonist he is....

A moot asked for a port of this hair to m!Au Ra so I threw one together real quick with some added weighting. I'm not subbed atm so I couldn't test it but I got the thumbs up it worked, lol. Still, if you find any issues, let me know. ☕ ko-fi.com/s/bc13adf1b6 XMA: xivmodarchive.com/modid/152308

Only NPC Hyperia came close to was Nero and it was more just a "coworkers with benefits" thing they had while working together on Ultima. No emotional/romantic attachments...just falling into bed together after a long day. They still keep in touch, updating each other on their latest discoveries.

This is...actually pretty accurate, honestly. poomang.com/en/t/2025yea...

Oh my lord...I need to learn how to port this to Au Ra (or have someone do it).
