Higher and Higher Testing some things out in my sketchbook. Based on the trees along northern California pasture and the striking memory of egrets in a empty blue sky. Also that very last shot in Cowboy Bebop, goddamn.

Zenos punched Claude so hard it split his cheek open and damaged his eyes such that he now has to wear glasses. Still, in way he's glad the scar will persist.

Possibly the best photograph taken of me and my partner, ever. Eat your heart out Frank Frazetta & Tom Jung!! Taken at Glacier Point, Yosemite National Park.

Happy Pride to my queer lil' dude 🌈 Warrior of Light, Claude Dubois

I didn't intend to make this at first, but that screenshot with Zenos turned out too perfect. Based on this post: www.tumblr.com/borealing/72...

many such cases

I HAVE TO LIVE!!!!!

Like, y'all, I cannot emphasize enough how often I'll think about Zenos getting to live a full life, growing old with my WoL, Claude, and it makes me dizzy. I just want a modicum of grace and kindness for this man.

my kink is seeing zenos final fantasy happy and living a fulfilled life

Thinking about how Zenos loves to collect weapons and turn them on the very people who would wield them against him. The katana he collected, as well as Shinryu.

#ShinryuAP group picture, such lovely people! Glad to see that #Zenos still has fans

"Get 'im, lads!!" Glad I peeked into the #ShinryuAP for the last hour or so, saw some familiar faces!! :D

And day to day, life's a hard job, you get tired, you lose the pattern. You need distance, interval. The way to see how beautiful the earth is, is to see it as the moon. The way to see how beautiful life is, is from the vantage point of death.

[7.5 Spoilers & Thoughts] AAAUUGGHHHHH GGGHHHRTHGHGHHHH [BARKING BARKING BARKING]

Claude and Estinien bonding over their shared willingness/eagerness to eat the local wildlife. =_= My hobo boys...

#wolzenos #zenoswol LAUGHS LOUDLY I took this quiz from Claude's perspective with Zenos as partner in mind and... YEAH...

Happy Mother's Day! 💎✨

Something something the quantum entanglement of narrative foils, the way they are connected on a fundamental level, forever, inextricably.

... I really gotta start posting the posts I draft instead of jotting them down and forgetting about them. I've had some really weird synchronicity things happen in the last few months re: FFXIV related topics.

If I can't have Zenos back at least give me Nero. Come on, there's gonna be EVAs! Give me that messy blonde Garlean!! Which one? Yes.

me: I need to write a fix-it fic where my WoL goes and gets Zenos and helps him see that life is worth living also me: life is not worth living So I don't have writer's block per-se but do you see the issue? (P.S.: Evercold is making life a Little worth living, but girl, it has been a Rough Year)

I love your little Wyra'li!! 8w8 ❤️

"So how's your Monday going?" I'm watching the Marahute rescue scene frame-by-frame and crying. This movie really did something to my brain as a kid. It still does things to my brain.

Hello all! ❤️ ✨️ Here is my shop and other ways to support me!! I'll need all the help I can get in the wake of this changing everything QWQ/ Thank you so much for the reblogs and likes! TTWTT/ • etsy.com/shop/Etherel... • etherelleart.carrd.co

I love Alt text because so often it'll say "And over here is [detail]" And I'll be like "Oh shit! I did not see [detail]!" It adds another dimension of experience to looking at art and I like that :>

i'm so frustrated with any narrative that treats the founder of a violent system to be more sympathetic than the violent product of said system and then have it go completely unexamined by the other characters, the writers, or the fanbase

what if my ultimate moment of self-acceptance was realizing i was willing to give up everything to die with you after one last battle in the quiet embrace of the end of the universe but you loved me too much to actually let me and we were both boys

I am fascinated by the plurality of being that the Warrior of Light is. How many dudes can you use to shore up one individual before he ceases to be “himself?” Theseus Ship kinda guy. #ffxiv

Hurting myself today with this one, lads Erin go Bragh

Happy St. Patrick's Day, New York.

Thinking about WoL as Orpheus and Meteion as Siren. "Orpheus joined the expedition of the Argonauts, saving them from the music of the Sirens by playing his own, more powerful music." "Our song of hope, she dances on the wind higher, oh higher" #FFXIV

omg, I was so enraptured in the AU joy of "the WoL as Zenos' hunting hound" that I failed to see the canonical truth: the WoL is a storied weapon/blade that Zenos sought to collect.

Hourly Comics Day 2026! I took notes all day, drew a little the day of, and I hope to finish them slowly this week. But I'm working on a Valentine's Day gift, and that takes precedent! Here's what I have thus far... #hourlycomicday #hourlycomicsday #hourlies

Listening to "So It Goes" like

I feel like I should be able to walk into a therapist's office, say "I've been listening to Florence + the Machine on repeat for a week just to feel something" and they would write me a prescription to fix whatever specific brand of Wrong that I am

"em dashes are AI" i didn't memorize alt+0151 and option+shift+hyphen to be accused of such treachery

It was my found sibling @etherelleart.bsky.social’s birthday recently and this was my gift to them~ Their #ffxiv #WoL, Wyra’li, sneaking a moment with the studious #G’rahaTia <3

How does anyone write a book, all I can seemingly produce is pages and pages of disjointed rambling. It's getting so long as to be unmanageable. How does anyone manage to write anything coherent in long-form prose, oh my god

To all the Zenos enjoyers and Zenoswol people especially: I see you, I appreciate you. Thank you for making and sharing your art, I love seeing what you've drawn and written, I love your ideas and thoughts and theories. It's been a rough year, thank you for providing a bright point in the darkness.

Sooner or later you're going to want to make your guy be the special-est little guy, just the coolest little quirky fellow. No one with OCs is immune to this.

you live inside me， the same way i live inside you. a mobius strip， a snake always swallowing its own tail. mutually assured destruction， or mutual deification. mutual consumption. i will be the house that holds every part of you.

lmao, Claude is player 4 😂 He had a lovely childhood in Gridania, he just doesn't remember it, nor anything else from before the fall of Dalamud.

Kansas "The Pinnacle" is a very (bad end) Warrior of Light kind of song. Also the line, "Drowned in tears of awe" goes so fucking hard.

"A cenotaph is an empty grave, tomb or a monument erected in honor of a person whose remains are elsewhere or have been lost." I've often felt that Claude would probably erect a cenotaph to Zenos, a designated place where he could mourn and be unwell in private. And then I get hit with this:

His battle chocobo, flying black chocobo, and a giant magical spriggan who carries him around in a basket (and is tiny and follows him around when not deployed).

In the woods lives a man, 10 fulms tall or taller, hair like molten brass in the sun. But the most uncanny thing about him is the conversations he can be heard having with himself. Those who overhear him swear he speaks with two voices... #zenoswol #wolzenos

The Legatus and His Hunting Hound - First Kiss #zenoswol #wolzenos An AU where Claude—or rather, Claudius—and Gwladys (Gladiolus) are dumped in Garlemald instead of Gridania. Claudius joins the military, and when he is cursed with the Echo he catches the eye of a certain young Legatus…

Meme redraw! #zenoswol #wolzenos I could have made Zenos bigger tbh 👀
