AND he's nice. it's so awesome. shoutout to maxima i hope you enjoy your caesar salad in the teacher's lounge today king

Piece done for “Freedom through Technology: A Garlond Ironworks Zine”! Something of a companion piece to the Scion roller coaster one.

Be sure to check out the full thing here: https://commiss.io/listings/0alD It’s amazing! (There is a SFW and an 18+ version.)

a wol question for you! in form of a poll!

and this is for like which characters you have that hold the title in your canon

for example, I have three characters in my canon that all hold the "Warrior of Light" title!

"The free trial actually goes all the way up to level 70 nowadays which means you can play all of the base game and the first two expansions with no restrictions on playtime"

Punch or Hug: Estinien "Wyrmblood" Varlineau

Punchability Propaganda: I HATE HIS STUPID GUTS. “OHHHH IM THE AZURE DRAGOON. THE ONLY AZURE DRAGOON!” BITCH NIDHOGG’S EYEBALL COULDNT RESIST ME AND MADE ME THE SECOND AZURE DRAGOON. BUT DO YOU TELL ISHGARD? DO YOU EVEN TELL YOUR BESTIE AYMERIC? NO. I BEAT YOUR ASS AND THEN YOU HAVE THE GALL TO CASUALLY BRING UP THE TIME YOU TRIED TO KILL ME LIKE ITS A FUNNY HAHA MEMORY. AND THEN LIKE SOME DUMBASS YOU CONVENIENTLY FORGET THAT NIDHOGG POSSESSED YOU ALREADY AND GET YOUR HANDS ON BOTH OF HIS JUICY EYEBALLS. YOU DIDN’T EVEN THINK OF OFFERING ONE TO ME! ME! THE SECOND AZURE DRAGOON WHO IS CONVENIENTLY HERE AND COULD HAVE PREVENTED YOU GETTING POSSESSED. AND ON TOP OF THAT YOU STOLE ALPHINAUD FROM ME. I WAS THERE ALONGSIDE HIM WHEN ALL OF UL’DAH WAS AGAINST US BUT INSTEAD HE LOOKS UP TO YOU JUST BECAUSE YOU TAUGHT HIM TO COLLECT FIREWOOD. THIS ISNT EVEN ALL OF WHY I HATE HIM. FUCKING PIECE OF SHIT PISS RAT WHO CAN’T EVEN DEAL WITH MOOGLES FOR A FEW MINUTES WHILE IM BUSTING MY ASS DOING FETCH QUESTS FOR A STUPID MINION LOCKED BEHIND TRIBAL QUESTS.

Huggability Propaganda: He needs to be socialized and domesticated like a feral kitten.

Draw, write, screenshot - whatever you'd like! Use the tag #FFXIV10NPC31 to share your work.

Ideally start October 1st, but feel free to do this whenever, if you're interested - it's just for funsies.

Also, interpret the prompts as you like! Some characters (coughEsteniencoughG'rahacough) will fit multiple ones.

A Realm Reborn Week complete!

Stephen, from ARR to EW.

This was my Fan Fest entry, which... I wasn't completely happy with, but turned it in anyway. I completely spaced it and rushed something.

A Li'l Zero

Round 2: Maxima quo Priscus vs Seto

"Maxima is a very lanky fatherly man and I feel like he would give excellent hugs."

"Poor thing misses Ardbert so much, he is the goodest boy."

Do you think, during down times, Lucia just starts dumping “Lord Commander” stories on Maxima at the Camp Broken Glass table?

Estinien and Lucia really should be commended for the amount of energy they expend trying to keep or get Aymeric out of trouble.

No need to worry his pretty head about this.

Ser, please sit down.

Whoops, failed to keep him out of trouble. Better fix it.

How do you keep a man who took a knife to the gut from moving around? (Spoiler: You don't. He rushes into more danger right after this.)

At least he's appreciative?

Never gets to join for the fun parts. Mad about it.

Some of these, maybe? https://www.tumblr.com/stephenfairbrook/tagged/ffxiv%20chibi%20collection

Getting some charms made. Gonna turn the coaster pic into a 3” one, but also getting some 2” ones. I can do four designs total. Any requests? Preferably already completed works.

I’m debating being totally self indulgent and making one of Jayih’a, just because I have a chibi I was gonna make into stickers and… kinda forgot to.
