I've been thinking about this again, and I if I can get myself to focus on the fiddly bits for long enough I have a gpose idea.

bethan walker's delivery here was immaculate, as was jbailey's raha fanboying however the waver in rob's voice when estinien says "would someone mind explaining what is going on?" is absolute PEAK and such a perfect subtle but massive shift for estinien lmao youtu.be/njT3zXodLso?...

Dawntrail has been out for how long and I STILL occasionally catch myself running down the pier to the For'ard cabins instead of talking to the innkeep.

I made the choice to go back to school for a public health degree a few months ago. My online program works in 6 month rolling semesters, which means my current semester ends in January. I need to buckle the fuck down. If you catch me posting another fic this month please yell at me.😅

Heels and Kings 5k words, WoL & The Tyrant, slight canon divergence (not romantic) (aside from the inherent romance of a man punching another man) Encountering the man known as the Tyrant once more in Heritage Found, Sahri resolves to draw out his flame. archiveofourown.org/works/76725936

🥺🥹 gosh, I sure do intend to try

I don't have a January gpose, since I really only started gposing in March of this year aside from a handful of attempts back in '24 - so here is the oldest gpose from this year and one I took a few days ago. I feel like I've grown a lot!

#7.4spoilers I think it's kinda criminal we couldn't tell Lumull "It's ok, this is not the first train I had to kill" with an ominous tone.

I haven't been able to get this Tumblr post out of my head since playing through this arcadion tier

fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuck

Btw, @healstick.bsky.social who brought wonderful home-made cookies and pastries to our dnd game also got me THIS for Xmas I don't know that I've ever been read for filth quite so succinctly before lmao

oh you know.

Rain'li is actually significantly weaker in combat than he was before Endwalker, lacking the speed and strength he once had. He now leans on his ability as a caster, his wits, and capable companions in a fight. If a decently strong opponent were to get him on his own, he would not escape unscathed.

We finished our dnd campaign!! 🥺🥺🥺 three whole years of drama, shenanigans, love and murder and violence all culminated in a GREAT last fight against a would-be-god big bad tonight... and there were even character-themed cookies 😭💕 our epilogue made me so emotional, now I gotta draw CHARACTER BABIES

We wrapped up a 3 year DnD campaign tonight and it was *amazing* All of the players managed to survive, and it was an appropriately incredible grand finale, with revisits of old favorite characters and an epilogue and everything. A dear friend even made themed cookies!! (lrt) I'm very happy

Now that they've been presented to their recipients, I can share the final pieces. I adored having the opportunity to commemorate the end of this three year story by creating these recipes based on my friends' characters. Thank you for sharing them with me. Info on the individual cookies in thread!

The fact that Alphinaud is the flex healer NPC in great gubal library is really funny. He can be healer or DPS, but Y’shtola, who at this point is still very much still using the conjurer icon, can only be DPS. She said Stone. Stone. Stone. Stone.

and also raha. less dynamic than i'd like, need to find more male pinup poses again #ffxivnsfw #gposensfw #grahatia #freiaposes

I realize I already answered this question earlier with writing, but I ended up reflecting on Gateway Fate and how proud I was of getting to be a part of that event. It felt amazing to be able to give back to this community like that and I can't wait to see it continue to grow.

HAPPY STARLIGHT! With Dulia Chai & Chai Nuzz 💖 #shmiart #FFXIV #FFXIVART

In November of this year I had a story that I wanted to tell that wouldn't leave me be and it resulted in Not Alone, an 8000 word reflection on Ultima Thule that was also my first foray into fic writing. I've written three other shorter XIV fics since then. I'm really proud of them.

Just received this photo of one of my cats from friends who are checking in on them while we're out of town and I'm. Look at her. I love this cat.

next opponent ➤ brute abombinator

I am safely arrived in another state after a full day on the road, so of course I had a great gpose idea while I was driving.

do you ever think about how in like all supplemental material for xiv y'shtola is almost always drinking some sort of caffeinated beverage. her cookbook recipe has you put two shots of espresso in her drink. someone make her take a fucking NAP!!!

Final batch of cookies just has to chill in the fridge, then they'll go in the oven first thing in the morning. Then it's road trip time to go deliver them in person!

Happy Starlight~🎄 #ffxiv #🐍🐱

It feels a little weird to consider resolutions when I've only recently started creating, so I really just want to keep at it and continue to grow my skill and my confidence. And maybe get over my fear of writing smut.

気分で再掲シリーズその2 罪喰いサンウリ とか

Hi, I'm Ishmi! FFXIV has me by the throat and will not let go. It has also been a huge source of happiness and comfort to me while going through my medical misadventures. I love it very, very much. Also, hi, sorry not sorry, using this to follow everyone I can >:]c

B’alith smelled so wholly of himself, resin incense and vanilla soap and that curiously perpetual whisper of ozone, and he was warm and solid and safe, and he was *home*.

Baking update: realized I was out of ground clove. This is, in fact, excellent news, because I still have a bunch leftover from making kinderpunsch and therefore yet another excuse to use my mortar and pestle.

Got my latest fic up just in time to count for Christmas! With What Our Mothers Left Us, 4.4k words, WoL & Krile (non-romantic) This is a one-shot of Sahri & Krile bonding over their past in the Neon Stein. It DOES spoil the 7.4 MSQ, be forewarned. #7.4spoilers archiveofourown.org/works/76447821

"Surely the apothecary thing is just IC for Rain'li." No I am dating their player and I can tell you they're just like this.

Considering how much I've enjoyed the process of creating recipes for my friend's D&D characters, I am contemplating turning that same attention to some FFXIV characters in the future.

Mwehehehehe

Ishgardian Fashion (And its roots in 13th-14th century fashion) It's easy for those all too unfamiliar with historical fashion to mistake the clothing style to be something from say, the Edwardian era. But! I am here to tell you that couldn't be further from the case. Let's talk about why.

Buscarron, you can't keep doing that every time you see him, he's in his thirties now. #gpose #buscarron #starlight

Hello! I gpose a bit, and I started writing somewhat recently - and then found myself unable to stop. My fics so far have all been of my OC Rain'li and his relationship with the story and various NPCs. I am currently lost in the rarepair mines, send help. archiveofourown.org/users/Healst...

Downright giddy that I'm about to get to use the Feelings Realization tag.

MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!! I meant to post this way earlier, but please, enjoy some Koana under your tree! 🤭💚 #gposers #koana
