A crudely drawn comic in ms paint of Gaius Baelsar having a conversation with Makoh'to, my WoL. Gaius says a modified version of a line he says in canon, "That such atrocities continued unabated is proof of the rot that spread through out the empire." Makoh'to looks blankly at Gaius before saying with a tired and slightly pitying look, "Gaius. It's all rot. The empire is the rot." The last panel is Gaius shutting his eyes in frustration. The text "I would have known" is repeated twice with the certain letters drawn over in red that spell out "I knew."

did this in ms paint so i would just finish it. gaius... the empire IS the rot #ffxiv #ffxivart

Thought I'd throw it out there in case I worried anyone, but I do still plan on making Gaius merch when it strikes me. Part of my break from cmsn work is to work on cleaning up my merch files so I can get samples made soon :)

it's not everyday you get to watch a friend meet one of ur favs for the first time! i gotta be prepared! 😊

i told them what quest to ping me for so i can watch them (rubs my hands together like a fly)

actually had to look this up bc remembering things chronologically is not my strong suit. they will meet him eventually i just got so excited lol

THEY'RE STREAMING IT FOR ME

helping a friend do The Burn for the first time and while they recapped like "alphi was being helped by some guy with a bunch of masks... i don't know his name yet..." and i was like "after this ur gonna meet someone very special to me :)" HEHEHE

Page 1 of 2 of a comic. Panel 1 shows Gaius Baelsar turned away as someone off screen says "My dear pet, it's time for walkies!" Panel 2 shows a close up of Gaius's eye as he turns to look at the source of the voice. "Walkies?" he thinks. Panel 3 shows Gaius suddenly wearing a spiked dog collar and having doggy paws and ears. There's a leash attached to his collar. He looks surprised by the sudden transformation.

Page two of two of a comic. Gaius is shown in the top panel having awoken from his dream (nightmare?) because of someone knocking at his door. There are papers scattered in front of him and an empty mug with water stains below it. The bottom panel shows him answering the door. Makoh'to says, "Good day, Gaius! Would you like to join me for a walk?" Gaius immediately says "Yes" as imaginary dog ears and wagging tail appear on him.

A scribble of Neil Vana, Fragile, and Cliff Unger all smoking. Their cigarettes in various states of burning.

inside you there are two wolves...

The amount of highlights I have for his performativeness with his colleagues, then highlighted passages where he does those same things or holds those same beliefs (or much worse) is lmaooo. Theeee world's most insecure man. Fascinating. 😂 This could so easily be a satire about someone in 2025...!

I haven't finished reading it yet but I've been getting thru American Psycho during my downtime at work so I can watch the movie to see how they translated it - I do love seeing inside the (fictional) minds of terrible, terrible people. He's so performative in the beginning and is crashing out now.

had to repost that last one bc i forgot his third eye smh. also forgot to resize my images lmao

Thank you, Green! I hope we both find some peace in all of it 🥹

🥹 I still have a lot I want to share about Gaius and Makoh'to, separately and together, but I'm filling my time with more hobbies away from xiv (altho still... somehow ends up being centered around those two LOL) I'm glad you like seeing Gaius around! He's a fun character to rotate in my mind.

yeah, i think i'm content with the few ppl i really connect with and have gotten to know because of my silly posts. it feels like a disservice to them to constantly yearn for acceptance from strangers when the people who care about me were here the whole time!!! 🥹

me remember what happens when i have free will

aw, ty!! 🥹

A redraw of a popular meme comic. In the first panel Makoh'to and Gaius Baelsar are walking together around Terncliff. Makoh'to is holding onto Gaius's arm while saying, "Like... Y'know, nyah!" Gaius looks at him blankly, going, "What" The second panel is a close up of Makoh'to bringing his free hand to his face like a cat's paw. "Nyah!" he says in a cat shaped speech bubble. Gaius is off screen saying "Stop."

this is canon for them 😽

A colored doodle of Gaius Baelsar, Allie and Makoh'to taking a selfie together. Makoh'to, grinning, is the one holding up a modern looking phone for a selfie. Gaius is leaning over so he is closer in height to Makoh'to and Allie. There is a small smile on his face. Allie looks up at the phone camera with an equally small smile.

-accepted by this space. It was depressing me ngl. I just post hcs, thoughts, and doodles sometimes 😂 I still appreciate the support everyone's given me over the years (if you're from the other site too) but yeah! Nothing is really changing tho. I just feel the shift a lot more these days.

Not to get Real Talk, but I'm in a peculiar place where I've distanced myself from xiv spaces as a social community and now it's just like, hey, this is my account where I post my doodles which mostly happen to be xiv related. I still enjoy chatter here and there but I'm no longer trying to feel-

Death Stranding 1 & 2 Major Spoilers This one's for the three people who played DS1&2 and follow me... symbolism time!!! Got this vision beamed to me for a simple composition - the three characters who are heavily involved with the beach, and being stranded on the beach, all smoking. Interesting the characters we see smoking in DS1&2 are on the other side (permanently)! Fragile is freshly lighting up since half of her still walks among the living. I chose to put her in the brightest light because of this - she's the newest one to this poor group. She's looking ahead - at the viewer? Past them? Because she's still connected... with business left in the physical realm. :) I tried to portray her looking a little sad / guilty for not being able to protect Lou at the beginning. Cliff's cigarette is burnt out, given the timeline of this piece so he's made his peace. I chose to put him in great shadow for this reason too, even though he would still be lit a bit by the flame. That's also why his eyes are closed. Then Neil is the closest, almost overbearingly close. His cigarette is midway through burning as he has things left he needs to do. The close-up of the shine in his eyes is in the shape of BB Lou... and a soft orange glow is on him to represent the first area you meet him. His gaze is intense, focused on something off screen. He is hell bent on his goal - protecting Lou! And if all their cigarettes were full length, they would converge at the flame. A sense of duty drives them all on the beach (and beyond...) Ok lmao ty for reading

Notes for this one! Major spoilers for both games ahead!!

That is to say - hilarious of me to give Gaius tinnitus then experience the cold dread of hearing it in the dead of night. I would be cranky too if I couldn't escape a whining in my head (well, I *was*)! For Gaius it's just a minor punishment and reminder of his past.

I've gotten to a point where it doesn't cause a dreadful wash of anxiety when I notice it, but earlier this year I developed what I'm guessing is stress triggered tinnitus which is sooo funny bc it kicks in whenever I see something that induces stress for me. Alert that I'm getting overstimulated!
