Today is the start of our winter holiday. Alex is off work until after the new year, so if I’m not around much on Discord or here, that’s why. I have one holiday artwork in the works, but I probably wont be writing anything this season.

Sitting in bed after working on holiday art late tonight, and Sibylla gets right between the pillows and coughs up a hair ball.

Looking at the ‘bespoke experiences’ we can arrange for our Adriatic adventure next summer, and there’s this wine and spirits tasting that starts at 9:30AM. Care to join me for some breakfast wine?

I’m on some meds that have completely killed my desire to eat anything, so I’ve been subsisting off egg rice for the last few days.

Each time I begin a new piece of art, I feel like I have forgotten everything I did the time before.

The most noticeable giveaway with AI ‘art’ for me having gone back to drawing this year are pieces that look like the most beautiful fantasy art of the early 2000s but the details are all off. The fabric flows weird, the posture or foot placement is strange. No one who’s that level would fuck it up.

I wish I was the type of person who felt comfortable cosplaying while traveling, because Alsace would make a lovely backdrop for TereDio cosplay. Not that I’d ask Mae to bring their armour on a flight. But I did have this wistful moment of thinking about beautiful cosplay photos together.

Deleted Spotify. I’d noticed the last time I listened to it there seemed to be a bit of music I had never heard of sliding into my new wave station. Nondescript kind of droning noise, so I moved over to YouTube. I suspect it was AI generated.

I need to start planning my next Dion costume in the event Yeticon happens. I’d like to not make this one in a month.

I can’t track cards, so I’m hoping they each reach their destination safely. If one doesn’t turn up and you requested one, I apologize. But if you’re in the US you should have them shortly. Worldwide, I don’t know how delayed USPS is.

I’m not sure if I’ll even have time to participate in the holiday challenge I organized. This last week was so weird and now I’m not sure if I should try to draw something instead of writing a fic before I leave for Paris. I want to do something but I don’t know if I will.

I will always be a little disappointed how glaringly obvious the unfinished or abandoned aspects of FFXVI are. Two and a half years later, I still wonder what this game could have been if it followed Clive, Joshua, and Dion. Kihel’s role was likely supposed to be impactful & integral. It wasn’t.

I’m not sure if I’ll get much written this holiday season, so I’m resharing last year’s #TereDio advent calendar.

Alex and I are going to cosplay Wicander and Tyranny at DragonCon next year so I can perch on him like a sleep paralysis demon.

I’m not sure if I’ll get much written this holiday season, so I’m resharing last year’s #TereDio advent calendar.

Thinking about Terence being completely wrecked by fucking Dion. There’s something delightful about him overcome by being inside the man he’s loved for years, submitting to Dion’s demands, as he’s the most demanding and dominant of bottoms.

Cards finally went out today. I wanted to mail them Tuesday but my stamps were delayed.

Alex’s grandmother passed late Wednesday night. His parents had been her caretaker for the last decade, and I was supposed to be staying with them for the 26 hours I was in DC to see my injector, but received a text as I sat down at my gate that she had been rushed to the hospital.

pov; You are Dion Lesage, the crown Prince of Sanbreque...and you don't wanna go to the bal blanc.

It’s snowing in Atlanta.

These past 40 hours have been an ordeal.

I have now also been awake for 26 hours.

At the airport playing can I open my phone in public or will there be cartoon dicks.

I’m hosting another #TereDio holiday event this December. Hopefully it inspires others to create this season. There’s no real rules, except no AI. It’s just for fun.

I recommend writers to revisit their works, especially if you’ve not reread your writing in a while. I forget so much of what I’ve written, rereading The Place Where Wild Wyvern Tails Bloom in one sitting tonight was a bit like reading it not as the author.

This holiday season, we are once again hosting a small challenge featuring four prompts that will run through January 6th, 2026. Please tag fanworks with #TereDioHoliday to be shared by this account. Each fanwork should focus on Terence, Dion, or both with implied current or future #TereDio.

Every time I video her she stops running as if she knows.

I’m going back to DC for exactly 26 hours to see my injector and I don’t know how anyone travels with one carry on. My toiletries alone for a single night take up half of a small suitcase. tbh I wish I’d booked an evening flight back home instead of staying. Maybe I can switch it.

Prompt IV: ‘There was a sound of revelry by night.‘ #FFXVI #TereDio #TereDioHoliday

Prompt III: ‘Tis bitter joy, as winter evenings wear to hear slow memories mounting from the past, while church-bells pierce the pall of misty air.’ #FFXVI #TereDio #TereDioHoliday

Prompt II: ‘For he would be thinking of love till the stars had run away and the shadows eaten the moon.’ #FFXVI #TereDio #TereDioHoliday

Prompt I: ‘In the midst of winter, I found there was, within me, an invincible summer.‘ #FFXVI #TereDio #TereDioHoliday

Sometimes I go look at my sister’s Instagram to see if she’s removed the tacky ass ‘Red Wave’ post from last November. She has not. Her husband is here on a green card.

I don’t want Logos to box in creators who’ve already had to navigate Ultimania contradicting the game. I know the VAs have said it’s their interpretation and encourage fanworks but I also know how sanctimonious people can get in fandom spaces.

As the #TereDio Christmas cards will swiftly be on their way, I wanted to share the print. The digital art will be posted closer to the holiday.

I swear I will get back to continuing the few unfinished TereDio fics I have going, but this year has been very busy. They’re not abandoned, just on hold.

Hi! I'm attempting to send out 🎄 Christmas cards 🎄 because I think it would be fun! 🥹 If you're interested in a card from me please fill out the form below! ⬇️ I will close it Dec 2nd. Cheers! 🙏

If you’re in the US and considering making custom cards, I recommend Minted. The cards turned out beautifully, and arrived within days of placing my order.

Christmas cards are ready for postage.

My Christmas cards arrived and they turned out so well.

"It's time to find out who we are. Once and for all." [Accept the Truth] 🌈 #FF16 #FFXVI #Ifrit

Alex once again telling me he wants to cosplay Terence with me.

Watching all these people out completely bundled up when it’s 40 degrees outside makes me feel like I’m Shiva.

I have a confession, I don’t actually know what the plot of Stranger Things is because I only paid partial attention to parts of earlier seasons.

For years I hosted Thanksgiving. I’m glad I can just go out to dinner today instead of doing that today.

Put up our decorations. Yes, you can really tell how much we live inside a church here. Also, my Italian mako green bike.

The strangest people will always be the ones you don’t know, who you’ve never once interacted with, who act like you’re a threat to them.

Less than 24 hours until I close the form. If you’d like a card you’re more than welcome to sign up x

Who else remembers bubble Christmas lights? My cousins always had these on their tree when I was a child. Back when all Christmas lights were a fire hazard. I only realized two years ago I could leave my tree lit all season because of the LED lights due to that being ingrained.
