Tonight, goth tunes with @xianaforever.bsky.social and @eightbitwitch.bsky.social. Gposes by @hazelknutte.bsky.social and myself.

"Caught between dreamless slumber, And the demon that lives in your eyes. Lightning moves with your thunder, Burns the moon and the stars in the sky. Cross my heart in your fire, Kept my soul by your side. All the years of desire, Wash away in your tide."

"Your talismans can't help you now, So cast them to the stony ground, We can't evolve much farther if we let them weigh us down. We worship the rivers and the seas, We worship the stone, The only gospel that we know is encoded in our bones."

I serve as a photographer for two virtual nightclubs in FFXIV on a weekly basis. Apocrypha is our goth club on Sunday nights and Ravish serves up techno on Monday nights. And this last night’s Apocrypha was amazing. More pics in the comments.

Half an hour till spookytunes!

POV: You've been hand to hand fighting with Tsaya. She's small and skittery. You haven't been able to lay a hand on her the whole fight until now. You've just landed a solid blow that knocked her back several feet, but instead of seeming dismayed, she looks like this...

"Like a lazy ocean hugs the shore, Hold me close, sway me more. Like a flower bending in the breeze, Bend with me, sway with ease. When we dance, you have a way with me, Stay with me, sway with me."

Ravish is into our second set of the evening with Adanell playing. Her techno beats have people dancing their butts off.

And speaking of pics of other people from tonight's Apocrypha set...

Normally when I'm at our club venues I do pics of our guests, but every once in awhile I like to sneak in a fun one. "Khajit has done nothing! Khajit is innocent of these crimes!"

Tomorrow!

Tonight!

Where the clouds pull apart, Where the moon changes faces, In the quiet secret places, Are you there? Shine on friend, Goodnight, Why, then, the darkening of the light?

So many gorgeous people here tonight at #RAVISH!! Missed us this week? Remember, we're here every Monday so come dance with us next time!

Ravish is packed tonight! Need a little techno to pick up your Monday mood? We have you covered! @xianaforever.bsky.social is on decks now with Neon Abby up next. As always, @hazelknutte.bsky.social and myself are snapping pics of our guests!

TECHNO TECHNO TECHNO! It's a Ravish Monday again! This is one of my last regular spots to play around in EDM space and I do love techno blending, some hear us out! We're hosting @neonabby.bsky.social tonight and would love to have you with us! #ffxivvenues

Here we have Kira Dazkar whose parents fled the Azim Steppe along with her when she was a teenager to escape to Garlemald. She grew up amid Garlean society, but with the recently ushered in peace, has begun to explore Eorzean culture. (By which she means Eorzean parties with Eorzean liquor...)

I have been lax on pics lately. Work has been all consuming, and recently I am fighting off a bout of the flu. But Halloween is one of my favorite times of the year, so... "Tender lumplings everywhere, Life's no fun without a good scare. That's our job, but we're not mean, In our town of Halloween."

Spookytunes time!

In roughly an hour!

"I want to reconcile the violence in your heart, I want to recognise your beauty is not just a mask, I want to exorcise the demons from your past, I want to satisfy the undisclosed desires in your heart."

We're into our second DJ's set this evening with Wednesday Gyaddams, and people are dancing their butts off.

Sunday October 5th 8pm-10pm: Xiana Forever: www.twitch.tv/xianaforever 10pm-12am: Wednesday Gyaddams: www.twitch.tv/wednesdaygya... GPoses of guests by @hazelknutte.bsky.social and myself! We hope you join us this evening for our first round of October Spooky Tunes!

I tried out some Silent Hill f. Look you… you’re not fooling anyone. I know a fox spirit when I see one! #SilentHillf

Tonight!

“When I was a child, Everbody smiled, Nobody knows me at all. Very late at night, And in the morning light, Nobody knows me at all. Now I got lots of friends, Yes, but then again, Nobody knows me at all.”

Don’t worry I have absolutely no skill with a spear

We're halfway through our Monday night here at Ravish, and the Techno is flowing. Come join us!

Thankyou everyone for showing up and making it such a busy, energetic night at Apocrypha! If you want see more photos from the venue then you should DEFINITELY check out my colleague and sensei in the arts of gpose, @jhanaveyl.bsky.social ! #ffxivgpose #ff14gpose #gpose #gposers

Hot on the heels of last nights goth sets at Apocrypha, tonight we bring you our regularly scheduled techno and tentacles. Come down and enjoy some high energy sounds with us at our new location!

So many lovely faces at Apocrypha tonight. I truly cherish the time we get to revel in our gothiness. It really is often the highlight of my week. Thanks to those of you who come and dance with us, or drink with us, dress up with us, or just hang out and enjoy the music with us.

The days grow shorter and the night's longer. Now is *our* time. Join us tonight for spooky tunes and friends at Apocrypha!

You push and pull me like gravity I fall for you every part of me You push and pull me like gravity Insanity I'm losing my mind 🌠 #gpose #viera #miqote #julietteffxiv #ktoyatia

"Slaves of fear, From the moment we're born. Yeah, we want to feel love, Or we want to be numb. Slaves of fear, From the moment we're born. We want to be different, But we don't want to try too hard."

Last night’s Ravish was our second event at the new venue location and we were pleased to see lots of people joining us for some Techno and Tentacles!

"They cut the bloodline in the center, And injected this hated strain. They cut the bloodline, they left it wanting, Feeding on this youth's remains. And she goes: Give me the life - give me your love, Give me your innocence - give me the blood."

She's late! She's late! To a very important date! (With you?)

"We laugh through the pain we cry to the stars, We don’t understand why we need each other's arms. She cuts me up like a knife but if feels like fun, She scares me in my dreams, I just can’t run. Oh, Oblivion, Oh, my obsession."

And her version of the collab. :)

"I've come to understand that bliss, Is quite impossible and if, I'll ever find a way, I'll claim another life. I've come to understand that kiss, Was quite impossible and if, I'll ever find a way, I'll halt the turn of time."

Two hours until our regularly scheduled night of Goth Dance music! Tonight we're featuring a 4 hour extravaganza by Xiana Forever! Tune in and listen or join us directly at the venue.

I don't care if time just passes us by, I can stand the change, But not the cruelty. Too many promises, Too many lies, Too many faces for me to know. Sometimes I sit among the markers And contemplate my next life Says something less sympathetic- "a little more unconditional respect was buried here"

Don't forget to rest. Don't forget to hydrate. Don't forget to give yourself grace. Don't forget to sharpen your antlers and claws. Don't forget to disappear into the darkness between the trees and find yourself again in the shadows.

Ravish's final night at our current location is going well. Next week we'll be at our new home, but for tonight we're gonna batter the walls with our bass beats. www.twitch.tv/xianaforever 's set is going on now and soon we'll switch to www.twitch.tv/dj_adanell . The dance floor is packed!

It's time!

This. A million times this. Almost every creative I know has struggled with this at one point or another. Make your things. Share your experiences. Even if you can’t see it immediately you are enriching the lives of those around you, and that makes the world better.

On days like this In times like these I feel an animal deep inside Heel to haunch on bended knees Living on if and if I tried Somebody send me please Dream wars and a ticket to seem Giving out and in Selling the don't belong Well, what do you say D'you have a word for giving away? Got a song for me?

"All the little children, All dressed in black, With their darkened eyes, And holy artifacts. Mamas watch your babies, Keep them safe and sound. Don't let them play in graveyards, Don't let them find this out."
