Z <The Exarch's Champion> comms open

Couldn't find the OG post to link it (maybe I just thought I posted it????) but this is a followup to an older MM of mine~

#miqomarch Day 8: Formal
Being fancy isn't exactly Z's forte, but many things can be accomplished through spite

#gposers | #miqote | #wolgraha

#miqomarch Day 7: Forest
Even after all these years, I still find it spooky when you pop into The Shroud and Odin is about...

#miqomarch Day 6: Snow
The best part of Ishgard is walking around in the snow.

#miqomarch Day 5: Living Space
Home is where the pants aren't.

#gposers | #miqote | #wolgraha

*became* part of Z's lore. That's what I get for doing my catch-up post for missing yesterday before drinking coffee, lol.

#miqomarch Day 4: Weather
Rainy mornings under the big umbrella in the yard with a hot drink is the dream.

#gposers | #miqote | #wolgraha

#miqomarch Day 3: Favorite Mount
Oh no, there's two of them.
I can't help it- these things are so dumb looking and that just tickles me. I've loved Ixion for so long that jokes about it because part of Z's LORE and then they gave us a fire one 😩

#miqomarch Day 2: Job/Class
When you're a Bard, you never get to do the LB3, but MAN is it so fun to watch. I'm biased but it's my favorite one in the game- and I also main DNC. The smug, over-dramatic flourishes do it for me.

#miqomarch Day 1: Selfie

Took that literally this year~ This camera angle fought me every step of the way and then for some extra steps I didn't know we were taking.

👉👈 I'm trying to get back into writing my XIV fic, but I'm doing a lot of gposing right now with miqomarch coming up. I'm a proud Bard main with a G'raha-loving himbo.

Reaper Avatars come from pacts with a Voidsent, but like... who would do that when they could do this instead.

FUCK you're so right. I'll have to see if I can do it for Miqomarch 😂

🧵 10/10 Bonus because I worked really hard on this set and wanted a little meme treat:

Soooo since I haven't seen a #Miqomarch prompt list for this year, I'm going to use the one from the very first year I participated: 2021. I think it'll be really cool to see the difference in the two years since both I and the tools have improved so much since then. Also I need to get a head start.

I always redact bits because *handwaves at the whole internet*, but I just recently got new bits and changed the design~ It might look like this forever at this rate- I really like it! Exceptionally in-character.

Sometimes it's the little things that make a Valentione's great, like getting to try about a million different cake flavors. Worth getting beaten up by mammets for.

I met the guy. I am not immune to flamboyant bnnuy - I don't think anyone is.

#FFXIV | #gposers | #wolgraha | #DancingGreen

Yeah, i do have the full thing

Okay, so my friend showed me a picture of Aymeric to get me into the game at all since he's hot, then the obvious happened, but after that I was normal about most of the NPCs... But then... I can't be normal about him. They are going to destroy him.

1/3 of the next AIK chapter. Trust me, I feel crushing guilt every time I catch sight of its last upload date, but I also have to stop being so down on myself because it isn't helping the writing get done. So. I'm trying, I am. This is not my job and I hope to find joy in it again soon.

my creative brain- an easier part. I really, honest to gods plan on going back to AIK and my other fics, but right now I'm trying to fix my brain for the first time in my life and only recently has it been close to working. I don't have a time estimate for you, just a promise that I did write about

even for a short amount of time. I'm actually re-writing my self-published novel because of how much writing fic changed me for the better as an author; I'm hoping to have it re-launched by May. I obviously still love my boys, but posing is very different from writing and takes a different part of

out. I thought I was taking a break but I really hung up my creative mojo and didn't look back. I couldn't. I would pick at writing, do a sentence over the course of two hours, close the doc. I have written things that AREN'T XIV in that time because it was the only thing I felt anything about again

Depression sucks. A lot. I'm sure most of you know that. I have let mine spiral for about 4 years now, to the point where writing just seemed like a chore where it had once been what I lived for. I had moments where I powered through but I write SO MUCH AT ONCE that it just... fizzled out. I burnt

Since I'm already in both a personal sharing mood and a writing mood, I figured I'd finally talk about the elephant in the room: am I still writing my XIV fics. This will be a long thread. ⬇️

TLDR: I have had clinically diagnosed depression and it sapped my will to write(live). The answer is kinda.

Oh yeah, they're BOTH the wifeguy, actually.

As a filthy BRD/DNC main, Reaper is so far the only melee I've actually liked playing (I haven't even picked up VRP yet tho) and am having so much fun making edgy glams~ I DO have lore for Z's voidsent, and I promise it isn't going to be what you think 👀
