Fun fact: Ivona’s reaction to Marius here is the same reaction I had to my brain when the idea of adding Yotsuyu in this arc came up. Now just wait a couple months until I actually do something with it.

Since today is a thinking/yapping day and not a posing day... Eula Thavnair thing: It seems like one of the logical places to go for someone who has to stay away from the empire and its enemies (Varis would probably want her killed since he was against Meteor and the alliance I need not explain) -

Stormblood is just Zenos trying to get Ivonne to unleash all her primal abilities (she absorbed Garuda in 3.4), but she´s holding back during fights like Rhalgr´s reach because she does not want to risk killing or tempering friends/allies and her girlfriend just to take him out. -

Currently drafting ideas for a more "casual" outfit for Eula and idk what kind of vibe I wanna go with. Of course she´s Garlean nobility, but she´s been out of that loop for a bit. Maybe something from her time in Thavnair between ARR and Stormblood (I need to expand on that as well tbh)? -

I have been itching to adapt an actual villain oc to this verse, but like. I tried with Val and we see how that turned out lol.

Funny parallel between Ivonne and Akina: Former villain/calamity bringer "aunt".

I should cook more night´s blessed influences for Akina. Her mother was one of them before getting together with the father (a Lakeland resident) and deciding to move to the Crystarium to have their child grow up in relative safety there. That being said, I have not even given these parents names.

Healer who “rescues” you out of a safe spot and then dies himself to the next mechanic while you return to the original safe spot. Swears up and down he saved you. Specimen…

On a different note, I am glad I went with the matching vests instead of the original vision I had for them at this stage. Feels more "bought/scavenged in the same place". Just with minor differences in the gloves/boots because one is more about punching and kicking than the other, of course.

I could have sworn we had a scene where we were physically on the Ragnarok and able to walk around in it in Endwalker, or am I misremembering? The plugin designed for accessing these kinds of areas sadly does not want to spit it out...

Would this have been a better angle?

I think Livia gets some kind of cuteness aggression whenever Samira makes this kind of sopping wet cat face.

Beavonne "Void Viper" should probably have a lot of gaze mechanics, considering Beatrice´s moveset as a dungeon boss. Something something "All eyes on me" before temporarily petrifying the audience...

Rhalia “the mad sun” Azem… I should pose you more.

I don’t want to be at work, I want to pose Livmira kiss….

WHY ARE YOU SO CUTE

"Solid ground, how I missed you... Now we´ll just keep improvising, right? Make enough gil to get by, to get better gear... And I´ll be home soon enough. We didn´t die in that damn gaol, we didn´t die on the journey here, we´re not going to die in this place, right?" "Right."

I love how much the phrase "I have to believe that" defines my characters...

Fem Highlander animations are a blessing and a curse. More of the latter because neither of my Highlanders really fit the very overexaggerated reactions 90% of the time...

Now that I think about it, the Xtremes... Combining the elements of fire and water... That´s Akina´s whole thing tbh. I mean like she can wield the elements like how we use fire and ice for Black mage, separately, but just imagine her unique LB3 being some kind of giant geysir type attack.

I am going to run into a fucking wall in like 3 years when I become the same age as Ivonne.

Akinacore.

Eula eventually becoming strangely affectionate with Ivonne. In the sort of "pat on the head and kiss on the forehead" kind of aunt way. Resting on a couch together and they both have that "blank stare that says a thousand words" on their face.

Ishgardians when their lush green home country is suddenly turned into a snowy wasteland:

I need to pose/write a scene of Ivona during her deployment in Doma "interrogating" a rebel captive. Where we get to learn why she so absolutely abhors the use of torture in the present day :)

I love the ship itself and most art I see of Vamp x Honey, or "beedsm" as people dub it, but I am still throwing my WoL at that bat. Ivonne is also poly enough that she wouldn´t care much about her girlfriends also having girlfriends.

Healing magic as aftercare

We’ll have 8.0 before the end of the year huh?

Human form Beatrice is just kind of comic relief half the time because she does not care as long as she gets snacks or unless she has to fight. Ivonne domesticated that void queen. It’s my version of a Zero ship.

Akina but she’s casting Recluse’s ultimate Or Revenant’s. She has some Rebenant energy.

OH IVONNE WILL BE BAKING FOR THE GIRLFRIENDS

I think it would be funny if Licia and Antonius (Ivonne’s dad) got together because of some situation they had to fight their way out of. Like just A: “Can I ask you out if we survive this?” L: “You can have my hand in marriage for all I care…”

I have several in fact Akina: As Ivonne’s shard from the Fist, her main contribution to the MSQ is in Shadowbringers. She’s there for all of 5.0-5.3 and takes part in Eden and the Nier raids. Through some means she gets the ability to travel between reflections and joins Ivonne and co once the -

I saw this first image and immediately thought of Vamp. Look at my hard dom bruh.

Reminder that Ivonne is in fact bisexual and has slept with men before. I feel like that doesn´t really come through because of course the current polycule is nothing but women.

Ivonne "I just need a head in my lap" Frigis. Mental health restored by having a girlfriend use her thighs as a pillow.

LRP Ivonnecore. Whenever she is asked why she can play the stalwart hero so well and how she hasn´t lost it along the way yet and she just answers with a frustrated "Because who else will do it?"

Need less ‘the call to heroism has inspired me to be who i was always meant to be!” narratives and more “this fucking sucks and I don’t want to be here but someone has to do it and goddamnit it looks like that’s me” narratives imo.

My love for fictional imperials who have done horrible shit does not transfer to real life imperials who are now in the process of doing horrible shit. I feel like that needs to be said right now. Fuck those guys.

Thinking about how in 4.55 after the battle against Elidibus Zenos, Eula is there alongside Estinien to rescue Ivonne from certain death. They just kinda acknowledge each other´s dragon-ness but will not comment on it because there are more pressing matters. And they´re both off before Aymeric -

4. Of course Ivonne will sit next to the newest addition to her polycule, Vamp. Honey might want to relocate to seat 6 after a few hours because things will happen. Nothing explicit, but they will be an annoying couple on flight.

Valentine "I feel no less a stranger no matter where I go" Toxis.

“come back.” ❄️ #ffxivart #ysayle #heavensward

Yeah my Bluesky bio has no info regarding my person in it and it will stay that way. I used to have my age in there but after repeatedly forgetting to update it whenever I got a year older, I just stopped doing that. Lmao.

Evil creature.

[Several years before the 7th Umbral Calamity] "I cannot leave you to despair on your own at this late hour, ma´am. Know that I´m with this plan as long as you are." "I´m glad that you are, but... Truth is I don´t even know what I´m doing here. Or where to start, for that matter."

Do I even want to know what has happened in this fandom this time?

Rrrrrre🅱️enant... Top tier vocal stim btw.

We finally killed the everdark bug. Fuck that fight.
