Rain'li, Contrarian Chirurgeon

I've had some very limited energy lately, but I decided I'm still going to engage with miqomarch - I'm just not going to stress over it. I'll do the prompts that grab me, and I may not get them done on the day of, and that's going to be okay.

An orange-haired miqo'te is standing next to Loifa on a cliff overlooking the mountains behind Idyllshire. The miqo'te is looking down at a sage soulstone in his hand while Loifa stares out at the stars.

It's more rare, but yeah. Seasonal depression can have a reverse pattern where it shows up in summer instead.

Thank you. I'm certainly trying my best.

You're not the only one I know whose depression has that pattern, actually. And thank you.

Thank you. I've got good people looking out for me and I'm trying my best.

It really can. Kind of came out of nowhere this time. I'm trying my best 💙

Thank you. I'm sorry you're there, too. 🫂

I'm sorry if I left anyone feeling ignored, but I'm hoping to start being around more again. Hopefully I can find some energy to poke at at least a few miqomarch prompts as well.

I want to apologize for being so absent lately, especially right as I feel like I was just starting to make new friends here. Seasonal depression hit me hard this year in a way it hasn't in a long time, but I'm doing what I need to take care of myself and feel like I'm starting to recover.

In the wake of everything happening with Discord, I feel the need to share this again. It's one of my favorite essays.

If you're as mad as I am, I think you'll find it vindicating and maybe a little hopeful that we've been here before and are still around.

thinking about ala mhigo post-liberation, after decades of imperial rule and the horrors of the mad king theodoric before, bringing back holidays and cultural traditions that were never truly lost

Oh ...oh I never considered this

Happy International Fanworks Day! #IFD2026

The energies of life, they move about Sahri with reverence, distinction. Unlike a padjal, but certainly not common in any sense. There is something about her…something truly peculiar. 'Is this girl a Hearer, like her guardian?' she asks the elementals. The wind stirs, a whispering chorus floating to her ears. 'She belongs not to us,' the elementals tell her. 'She belongs to the crystals. We dare not interfere.' 'She belongs to the crystals? What do you mean?' Kan-E presses, frowning. Her question lingers in silence, longer than the last. Eventually, though, the whispers return. 'The crystals,' they sing. 'The mother of all. The life which pulses far beneath the soil. This girl is chosen. Her destiny etched on the flow of time. She is the balance, and we dare not interfere.'

This fic will see Sahri to the end of the Gridania starter story & continue my retools of the archer and lancer quests. Ch 1 out now, about Kan-E meeting Sahri as a child and their reunion!

LRP My incredible friend @bramblefix.bsky.social surprised me with this Rain'li and Raha and it was incredibly sweet and I haven't been able to stop staring at it for days. Please look at those catboys. They're in love (and heat)!

It's THEMMMMM 😭
I'm still crying over this.

a trans miqote man and G'raha on their knees together, naked. G'raha is rutting him furiously from behind while caressing his hip and chest. Both are flushed and panting. catboys in heat :D

Older fanart of Hraesvelgr from FFXIV that I have recolored a bit and attempted to clean up! A white, feathery dragon with many wings and great, black horns mid flight, looking into the sky in grief, tears flicking into the air from his face.

Old, REALLY old Hraesvelgr fix-up

I love the First Brood so much!

adrianfridge: Height gap romance except the shorter one is frequently depicted in situations where they are contextually taller. The taller one sitting while the shorter one looms over them. Both of them lying in bed with the taller one's head pressed to the shorter one's chest. The shorter one straddling the taller one's lap and leaning down for a kiss. The taller one on their knees as the shorter one tilts their head up. Please, it makes me go feral

For the size difference enjoyers. 🫶

the part of playing xiv where you just rotate the camera around your character like they're a rotisserie chicken

I am always doing this.

Oh, I believe it. His monologue when they fight is especially masterful.

Andy's acting is incredible and I will forever insist "Especially the Lies" is one of the best bits of dialogue this show gets.

God it's so good. I forgot until it started playing that this was the next episode in my rewatch.
