Before I forget about her until the next patch - the side by side of Ma and 'vanilla' Ma. I love them both to bits. 😍

I don't see it often and since we have more slots for clutter now, I'll drop these here. You can float the cherry piles in the onsen by changing to another exterior, placing the pile down, and swapping back to the sukiya-zukuri exterior. It'll put floating sakura petals in the water! #ffxivhousing

oddly satisfying 🔥

Jinbei love ♥ They're just so friend shaped totally in love with this cutie! #ffxiv

day 29: promise ·º•★ #AuraApril #AuraApril2026 #gpose #GPOSERS ★•º· As long as I draw breath or until we find your corpse, I promise I will never stop searching for you, my love - til death parts us, til we meet again in the aetherial sea. (featuring my vanilla oc and her faithful chocobo)

I… failed to plan ahead for the last few days of Aura April with the patch, and I’m sad. I have had a lot of fun with it! I’ll try to do some vanilla make up shots tonight but it’s gonna be pretty hard to do “promise” without the ability to crime in my (unsubbed) husband 🫠

the 3 alliances in the evangelion raid waiting for the first-timers to finish watching their cutscenes

Move you've watched more than six times with a gif

day 26: gaze (free day) ·º•★ #AuraApril #AuraApril2026 #gpose #GPOSERS ★•º· using today to work on lighting - white piece-y hair problems, still learning how to reduce the blur on it. getting better though!

day 21: light ·º•★ #AuraApril #AuraApril2026 #gpose #gposers ★•º· when the homie's plot was laid bare... I played through ARR - ShB in a 4 mo span before the EW release, and I knew who the Exarch was all along. Was so glad to have the dialogue option in this scene to call him by his name.

Every single article I read about Madonna at Coachella mentioned that she’s 67. Not one article I read about Nine Inch Nails at Coachella mentioned that Trent’s 60. ISN’T THAT WEIRD? It’s almost as if everything Madonna has ever said about misogyny is true, or something. 🤷‍♂️

day 20: shadow(bringers) ·º•★ #AuraApril #AuraApril2026 #gpose #gposers ★•º· convenient overlapping challenge timing! I love this shot so much

I saw someone on here arguing the other day that you don’t own a book, you only own a license to the book and the book itself is a token of the license. I assure you, I own my books. I can lend them out. I can read them aloud to my child. I can sell them to other people. I can hit you with them

day 11: rain [ #AuraApril ✿ #AuraApril2026 ] As a storm looms overhead, Ma and the Tyrant have just put down a stampede of katobleps outside Electric Potential. A snippet from a story in Ma's breaking bad arc, in which she reunites with the former Grand Champion.

day 10: heavens(ward) [ #AuraApril ✿ #AuraApril2026 ] "Are you ready? To face him?" "I will do what must needs be done." "And what is that?" *broody emo boy stare into the distance* A scene from outside the Rookery, Ma and Estinien, Heavensward

day 9: heartache [ #AuraApril ✿ #AuraApril2026 ] The moment the Scions return from Treno and learn that Ma's husband has been missing and unreachable for days... 💔

day 8: stars [ #AuraApril ✿ #AuraApril2026 ] I was going to be brave and publish a short intro to Ma's current lore arc today... and today I learned that it takes weeks to get an AO3 invitation. 😅 So here's a snippet and some gposes instead.

OMG the Runway Walk emote on him?!?!?!?!?

the psychic damage of being online and aware this morning is staggering

day 7: blade [ #AuraApril ✿ #AuraApril2026 ] "You know it isn't over till I say it's over No more little angels sitting on my shoulder So give me the edge of a blade and a time and a place And I'll leave them cold and pushing up boulders" - Sleep Token "Look to Windward" 🎶

Humanity's first direct look at the full Mare Orientale on the lunar far side. Usually hidden from Earth, even Apollo crews missed a complete view due to orbit and lighting. This basin appears as a narrow feature on the right limb, just past the dark Grimaldi crater.
