Absolutely sucker-punched by the sudden realization that Alanis Morissette's "Everything" should be on B'alith and Zhai'a's ship playlist and now I'm all weepy about catboys again 🫠😭

I finally took a crack at trying to make a ship playlist for B'alith and Zhai'a! It's a little all over the place, I think, but it's not really how I usually think about music so it was a fun challenge to try out. 😊

Speaking of mages and differing approaches to magic (and magic as foreplay), I wrote some more about that in Giving Ground for last year's Rarepair Week. :3 #ffxivwriters #ffxivfanfic

I genuinely think there are fun and interesting dynamics to be explored between any combination of jobs/classes, but unsurprisingly I have a bit of a soft spot for WHM/BLM pairings in particular. 😉

ff14 was truly a godsend for millennials who grew up in a climate where making mary sue ocs was the greatest sin and can now make the sexy perfect goddesses that they wanted to make when they were teenagers

The gang who goes to the First is the same as it is in MSQ, but one very important person *doesn't* go: B'alith's youngest sister B'intana, who's been the tank to his squishy caster ass since ARR and is suddenly forced to figure out who she is and what she wants when she's not living in his shadow.

🎉🎉 ITS TIME!!🎉🎉 Get cosy with our FFXIV zine, Day to Day! Open from Sept 22nd to Oct 30th!

oooh, it's their anniversary and you wanna read about catboys getting hitched so bad~

This is how it feels from the other side, it's great.

8. Trial The true test of his resolve: the desire for another cup of tea versus a sleepy mooncat. #MiqoMarch #MiqoMarch2025

I mean... I'm not saying this is what B'alith and Zhai'a's handfasting vows boil down to, but I'm not *not* saying that either.

Mages at rest. #gposers #wolzhaia

I also think it's fun that this makes B'alith and Zhai'a's anniversary a movable feast of sorts, since the date shifts forward every year they renew their vows. 😄 I imagine they'll continue to mark the equinox as a day of personal significance, but the actual ritual bit drifts.

#SixSentenceSaturday: something sharp against skin Why do you wear your hair so short, Zhai'a? So your husband can be tempted by how bitable the back of your neck is? #ffxivwriters #ffxivfanfic

Diversity win! Both of these cats are bisexual!

It's Miqo'te Monday and I have a very self-indulgent #wolqotd: Show me your suncat/mooncat ships and tell me a little about them! How did they meet? What's their relationship like? How do they accommodate their differing circadian rhythms?

catboys are like high-energy working dogs, you gotta make sure they get enough enrichment (sex) or they start destroying the furniture (experimenting with forbidden magic again)

'bout the same as the first one, honestly 😄 (from A Little Patience)

this came to me right before i fell asleep last night and i needed to get it out

Gonna go even further: don't refer to it as "consuming media" when doing this. You aren't a consumer - it's not a product. You read books. You look at art. You watch movies and/or videos. Be careful about word choice. Reject "consume" and REJECT "CONTENT." IT IS ART. YOU ARE ENGAGING WITH ART.

autumn equinox tomorrow, you know what that means (I am going to be so, so normal about catboy handfasting anniversary)

lmfaooo i was trying to find this one cuz i wanted to make the joke that koana likes.... Gadgets... and... u know .... 🥝🍊 (yy dialogue is a little crusty but w/e)

It was @catmonkshiro.bsky.social's turn to host the map night so he picked a "bad glam" theme and, well. people leaned in!

It's yaoi posting hours: here's some old dirty favorites from the vault 🔞🍆🔞

🔞 Loifa does have a favorite mount, yes. Though if he called him forth with a whistle I think Orion would lose his mind. #lorion 💠

I saw a post go by earlier about looking at a character's canon dialog/lore for clues about what their kinks might be, which I have now since lost, but when I say I built B'alith's whole dynamic with Zhai'a around literally the very first thing he says to the player I am 100% not exaggerating. 😄

and I hope your shadow and mine will always be next to one another, blending (your honor their friendship is so important to me it makes me nauseous) #art #illustration #digitalart #ffxiv #ffxivfanart #graha #grahatia #krile #fanart #artist

One of the things I've really enjoyed about writing these two together has been exploring the ways in which B'alith's reaction to how Zhai'a kisses has changed over the course of their relationship. He's still not very good at it, but it's such a perfect reflection of the kind of man he is.

'bout the same as the first one, honestly 😄 (from A Little Patience)

the real trick in Enemies to Lovers is not getting characters to fall in love it's getting them to truly despise each other first. vague dislike and mild distrust because of extant circumstances isn't enough. i need actual enmity, real archfoe bullshit. i need to see them make each other bleed.
