Have finally changed my phone screen. This is my chosen image. Rufus in his Yakuza get-up. Filling in or replacing Aidios on the throne, as he should, while his daughter is perfectly poised.

I finally felt well enough to draw for the first time in a long while. 😌 #Trails #Kiseki #Falcom #RufusAlbarea

Rufus Albarea, circa CS1-CS2. Not entirely finished until I get my arcylic paint markers so I can detail his cape. BUT, that said, I feel I'm getting better at hair now. Aidios knows he's got enough of it.

Last thing. Bareahard-themed blanket. Dark green, light green, white, and trimmed in gold. It's far bigger than the picture suggests. All made by @tcregan.bsky.social Very soft and immensely warm! It's all prettier than our cameras can show.

The Ironbloods have managed to kill the Sept-Terrion of Water. Osborne tanked. Lechter ran support, and Rufus...took his usual position. You're welcome, Zemuria.

In non-Trails related stuff, here is a cheese ball by @tcregan.bsky.social It has become Lapis' impromptu pet.

For those who are fans of the Albareas and let's players who actually like talking to everyone and delving through the Trails games.. www.youtube.com/@PharaohFiasco Pharaoh Fiasco is brilliant, funny, and he actually LIKES Rufus. He's awesome and I highly recommend him.

Going to post a few things and then, I think, I'm gone.

I know that I'm not 'entitled' to an answer. No one is ever entitled to much of anything. But it still makes me want to go nuclear when I'm made to wait for a response that isn't coming on a query I've made however long ago. Esp. if it pertains to an actual business.

I can't believe it's only Monday.

And, as usual, credit goes to @tcregan.bsky.social for the newest addition! Osborne is...kind of thankful.

Lechter is finished! Anime boy hair will be the death of me. Some day I'll figure it out. His outfit was far less fiddly than Jusis or Osborne's.

Is it still summer? Debatable. Did I finally finish my piece for the #TrailsSummerParty ??? Well…. #ironbloods #kiseki

Just my boyfriend and me... And little brother makes three. Now also featuring Sky Daddy! No, really, all noble dates must be chaperoned by Father and Younger Brother. It's a rule, Lloyd. All credit goes to @tcregan.bsky.social for the Lloyd, Jusis, and Osborne! Rufus is getting his family!

The littlest detective. Crossbell's very own Lloyd Bannings. Still working out how to make the hair better. Next up... 🤔

Playing Ever Crisis because I'm a masochist and want Before Crisis. Which isn't here yet. It's a gatcha and I leveled the hell out of Sephiroth. He will now be running about in his long, black, leather coat through all the heated swamps. With his hair, the man will overheat. His turn to suffer now.

Guess who opened a ACG shop to shill five hundred Jusis keychains ^^ Okay there are other characters too (I wonder who) But its still mostly Jusis~ Consider checking it out? 🥹🤍 It's a POD style shop with international shipping! Please note spoilers up to Reverie‼️ acggoods.com/store/tofus-...

Have learned that I can handle a bit of bad gameplay so long as the story is fantastic. If the story is bad, however, not even sterling gameplay can save it for me.

지금도 너무 좋아하는 게임이라 5주년 축하하고 싶었는데 바빴어서 이제야 ㅜㅜ;;;; 15년뒤에는 리메이크도 나올거라믿는다~(그만큼 좋아해)

Good morning Albarea Brother Lovers ﾟ.+:｡∩(・ω・)∩ﾟ.+:｡ Everyone else get lost

Happy Lunar New Year!! Thank you @iwonn.bsky.social for this amazing piece! #FF7 #FFVII #RufusShinra #TsengoftheTurks #RenoftheTurks #ElenaoftheTurks #RudeoftheTurks

I rarely do this. But I very much wish to plug @iwonn.bsky.social comms. I reached out to them long ago due to them having already drawn Rufus Albarea. They were extremely kind, patient, and gave me some of the best fanart I've ever seen. Highly recommend them!

Rewatching Sailor Moon now is weird. Jusis the nerd. Joshua bossing around Arianrhod. Estelle still being the main character while crushing on both Elliot and Lloyd, while Mueller is macking on Elliot. It feels like bad fanfic.

#kyndontlook #rumidontlook Reverie spoilers My custom Jusis and Rufus hugging acrylic stands are finally here 😭🤍🤍🤍 They're taller than I originally wanted them but it was considerably cheaper so v(o´ з｀o)♪ The brothers shrine will be set up one day trust 🙏

TC is currently making a Bareahard inspired blanket for the winter. It's impressive how greens, whites, and gold go so well together. Hands down, Albareas have the most gorgeous house banner out of all of them.

And a big thank you to Haneda for having new Rufus products. Tenuous thank you because shipping now is an absolute pita.

#創の軌跡Anniversary ただいま戻りました。しばらくエックスの創の軌跡5周年企画に集中してこちらを留守にしておりました。という事でエックスにポストした絵の数々をこちらにもペタリ💁‍♀️

創の軌跡５周年おめでとうございます！ ８月いっぱい限定公開でこちら創本web再録してます↓ xfolio.jp/portfolio/sa...

I just wanted to say a personal thank you to those who liked and reblogged TC's amigurumi's. They were the first ones TC ever did and everything is a learning process. This may not reach everyone, but I wanted to put it out there that you guys made TC really happy. Glad to see fandom being nice.

Finally FINALLY going to see DC Douglas in person! Fuck, I have so much to say! And so much for him to sign! I didn't think I'd get a chance since there's not many conventions near where we live and going to CA isn't feasible due to, ya know, money. So damn happy!

TC's statements without context... "I stuffed Lloyd's head with Osborne's hair but I forgot to put the backings on so now Lloyd's eyes are popping out of his head."

Oof. His hair was really hard to do and I'm not 100% satisfied with it. But at least the clothes came out nice. The littlest Albarea.

@tcregan.bsky.social isn't fully satisfied when it comes to the hair. I, personally, think he's adorable. There are a lot of little details in his clothes which are fantastic. Tried taking pics at all angles. Please like and tell TC they should keep going with these!

NO RUSH!!!! Jusis must be perfect! Or else Rufus will get stabby. I am very much looking forward to him!

Front and back closer up shots. I love his little goatee. Finding colored 6mm eyes in bulk is...not doable. At all. The black eyes always come in a large set, so for now they're sticking with those.

Time to introduce grandpa to granddaughter! The littlest Blood and Iron Chancellor was done by @tcregan.bsky.social! First time doing an amigurumi and I am damned impressed.

Finally got Father and Son!

Northern War: gatcha game is what happens when you make a cash grab and have no idea who the chars are or their dynamics with one another. So yeah. It's pretty loyal to the anime.

You guys should be reading this! In fact, you guys should be reading ALL of eri's fics. Rufus is consistently perfect. A sarcastic, sassy thing that's written with love and care for him as a character.

Speaking of, I still can't believe that people thought this stringbean motherfucker was Cedric. That was some serious copium or glue people were sniffing. You can say 'C' must stand for Cedric. You can also say that 'C' stands for Carl Regnitz. Carl's out for revenge after CS1-4. Governor's back!

おはよう。

I wish they had group chats in Trails like they do in Dragon Age. Just every so often, your party talks to one another depending on the group. In Reverie, if you've got the Ironbloods in your party, they'll start talking about things we didn't see. Or Rufus and Jusis could talk in the background.

Rufus with Jusis and Lapis.

I feel like Rufus could really benefit from a ride-along Jusis. I feel like Jusis would probably superglue that sucker to Rufus' arm. I feel like Jusis would put a voice recorder into it so that once every five hours, it would say, "You should call me."

Things I was deprived of from Cold Steel: 1) Osborne teaching Rufus how to drive. Ishmelga nearly died that day. Mostly out of fear. 2) Osborne teaching Cedric how to drive. Have you ever been flipped off by the crown-prince? Someone has that tale to tell.
