Cinder Surprise returns from vacation next week! Are you ready? If you're like me, you might get flustered in the moment and struggle to remember all the steps to give yourself the best chance of catching the Big Fish. Maybe this little song I wrote will help you out! #FFXIVParodies

TEA update: couldn't be prouder of this group. Halfway through p3 on only our second night and that's a week between sessions. Starting next week we do two back to back nights a week and I can't wait!

I wasn't sure if I wanted to attend, but I won the player exclusive lottery and would like to see my friends, so I'm confirming I will be at FanFest next year! I will also be planning a FFXI meetup, so please be on the lookout for those details as we get closer! See y'all there!

Apologies; I've gotten to a point of having to share personal shit online for help. I'll explain more in the replies but the TL;DR Beat Cancer, but Lost my Job and Bills hit hard and I can't seem to land anything yet and shit doesn't stop 🥴 Geniunely any little bit helps ko-fi.com/martineeni

I didn't have grand arts for both 11/11 day because recently I'm progressing CoP/Typhoon stuff Here's quick doodle for the Pocky day as had no energy to give more on it OTL

due11um regular-person-disguise kammie for @casuallyars.bsky.social because i love inflicting psychic damage on my friends

I refuse to lose at nisi chicken

Starting now!

I feel like folks often forget that I started at the tail end of 5.4, literally the week of the live letter ahead of next patch. Granted, 5.4 was also the patch I caught up on because I went from start to finish on MSQ in the span of five days...

BUS BUS BUS! This year, my craft a long item is a GIVEAWAY and not an auction. They’ll announce a donation amount (eg $5) and every multiple is one entry. MAY LUCK BE EVER IN YOUR FAVOR WOLs! @emunarum.bsky.social @dangerousladies.ca desertbus.org/2025/prize/V...

See you in a few hours!

Hey #ffxiv fans! My robes (with some pattern/file assistance from @dangerousladies.ca and @emunarum.bsky.social ) will be in the Craft a Long for @desertbus.org next week. As a blind person who spent a ton of time in hospitals from birth, giving back is super important to me. 1/2

Let's get down to business To discuss the con docs.google.com/document/d/1... Want the full XIV experience as you read things over? Be sure to play Machinations from your orchestrion player!

Fruity and I want to bring you fish lore directly into your home! Please tune in to what has become one of my panels ever, learn a lot about fish and world building, and ask questions! I'm so excited to do this again for a livestream 💞

📢 Weird, but true! Fish Lore Panel LIVE (again!) This Saturday @3PM EST, join @emunarum.bsky.social and I for a live recording of our @gatewayfate.bsky.social #FFXIV panel "Weird, but True! Fish Lore, How 'Fish Lore' tells its own stories!" Audience is welcomed to participate! Links⤵️

There's having a niche favorite from a less-played game and then there's the way I am about Nag'molada

Good things are possible and we don’t have to settle.

Halfway through p2 in the first raid night feels so fuckin good you have no idea. My white whale... Alexander is in sight...

For our new followers: We run a free digital library for researching game history! We have over 4000+ out-of-print game magazines and hundreds of development documents, press kits, event guides, and more archive.gamehistory.org

This is almost half a year in advance, but I've had a lot of interest in a guided tour of the alliance raids leading up to the release of the last one. I AM planning on running that a week or two before the release of 7.5, and folks who join are also invited to run the last one first-thing with me.

A little reminder to everyone.

You know what I'll own it. Would.

TEA group has been summoned... tomorrow, we ride for Perfect Alex

Why does bathroom lighting continue to be a cosplayer's greatest selfie ally when it's impossible to do makeup properly in it?! #cosplay #FFXI #Melvien

while y'all are here do the raiders on bsky know about the TEA Toe Zone

Is anyone brave enough to see my unfinished Ocelot playlist

I'm so thankful to get the patch date and specifically the Savage date so far ahead of time. Makes it way easier to coordinate teams and the world race itself. My PTO was already approved! (Plus no holiday race thank the gods)

Anyone who bet against me for the January RWF date pay up lol

Hey all, I'm not one to ask for money, but I'm out of work since May, and as a blind person, my job hunt has challenges beyond normal searching. If you're willing to spare some, I have donation incentives, including patches, embroidery comms, and more. Thanks. ko-fi.com/post/If-You-...

Can you tell I love Odin FFXI

"Thou dost fight with an ardour that exceedeth mortal bounds. Thine is but rage for rage's sake? Thy true desire is granted, and mine own as well. Rise, my knight! Thou shalt serve me well." Odin, Sleipnir, and the North Star of Vana'diel 💙

Today is tattoo day!! I hope this fixes me

Guys what if I show up in only FFXI cosplays would that be funny for what

Show me your donation receipts to your local food banks (redacted as necessary) and I'll mail you one of these Perfect Groove stickers that didn't make it in time for GATEway FATE. I only have so many, but I'd rather they go to something that will help people.

Hey if anyone actually wants to do TEA with me before the new year please send me a DM!

Is there any interest in my setting up a PO Box?

The applications for Guests, Attending Professionals, and Performers open in just a few weeks! Who do you hope to see at #DragonCon2026?

Oh man, I forgot about this gem from @gatewayfate.bsky.social. @katwyv.bsky.social is just too powerful. 🥹😂 #ffxiv #ff14 #ff9 #ffix #viera #cosplay #beatrix #gatewayfate Ears by @turtlesmithy.bsky.social Chocobo helm 3D design by @dangerousladies.ca

Lore has always been mine- and Aeneas'- first love. Please talk to me about it at any time! #Aeneas: me! Photo/Edit: final_egirl (IG) Prosthetics: @turtlesmithy.bsky.social #cosplay #FFXIV #FFcosplay

We've shared con hauls, cosplays, and sticker trades; now let's highlight the presenters! Thanks to the hard work and expertise of @crystaahhl.bsky.social, our exhibit hall panels and Sat night entertainment are available for archived viewing at www.twitch.tv/gatewayfate. Did you have a fav panel?

While I'm talking about Odinpacts leaving a mark, happy almost-one-year anniversary to this tattoo! I'm getting an additional Odin tattoo to accompany it next week :)

In FFXI, pacts with gods leave a tangible mark on the soul. Promathia was disembodiment, Hades left ardorous brands as a two-way street, Chaos manifests the eyes, and Odin's marks reflect the bearer.

We'll see you TOMORROW! For All Tanks Wake at Aquarium Sophia!

Is anyone ready for my FFXI conspiracy theory about how Kam'lanaut escaped an Odinpact

🧡Store is OPEN !🧡 iovitus.etsy.com XIV leftovers + restocks are all live! Including Namazu bags, Roulette Shakers, and more! I'm pushing out things slowly so if something is out of stock let me know and I'll see if I can pre-order it!

Just look at him (I can’t stop). 🥹 Finally commissioned @atelierapricity.bsky.social for art of my WoL and I can’t recommend them enough. Amazing to work with, start to finish. Will deeeef be a return customer. #ffxiv #ff14 #viera #apricityart #pandorasparadox #art

Ough I've hit the emotional crash where I feel like I'm crawling out of my skin. Time to enter manic productivity mode.
