Em 🌃 @ FanFest Prep

Is it really me if I'm not binding the edges as needlessly beautiful as possible? Anyways the undershirt is done! The studs were super fast to insert, it gives me hope that I won't be spending too long setting hundreds of these later on the coat!

I certainly have the drive, just not the time for scheduling 😂 wouldn't be alternate lore, just another outcome, hoping it's not the Ascian one though given they said on the live letter they expected this to be a relatively fast prog for racers. I'd be disappointed if the Ascian one isn't harder!

I do not have a group yet and I don't know if I have the energy to put one together myself

Time to think about 7.5 ultimate I guess

Creative Conversations with Rath Games "No parties, no market board, no retainers, no NPC support, just Solo and his trusty axe Bill," Rath Games narrates in his Solo Only videos. Yet in our interview, I learned that the community which has grown around his challenge series has been just as much a part of his journey as the Funny Final Fantasy XIV Solo Man himself.

Tomorrow, March 14th, @rathgames.bsky.social is taking on Hades solo. But today, he's chatting with me about his journey as a content creator that led him into his now iconic Solo Only, and the community that has grown around his challenge series.

Best guess is about a year from now

On the other hand if people can be fucking normal then hell yeah, Luzaf! I do hope this means we get to fight Odin, I love Aht Urhgan and will look forward to this regardless. But I'm begging people not to be weird about this elvaan we all adore.

I'll say it. I don't want Luzaf in XIV. People are already whitewashing Prishe to hell and back, I don't wanna see what they'll do to Luzaf.

He's one of my favorite characters and I would love to see him, please don't misunderstand, but if they lighten that man's skintone I'll be physically ill.

#FFXIV Patch 7.5: Trail to the Heavens

📅 Part 1: Tuesday, April 28
📅 Part 2: Early September 2026

I am unfortunately a stage fight and want to actually Have Weapons not just as a con prop rip. I'll make it work one day

Aeneas is my FFXIV Warrior of Light, and Ty is short for Tyrant, the raid boss I've been working on a FanFest cosplay for! Very self indulgent characters for me

Thank you friend! I was having a real "trust the process" moment last night where I started hating it but I'm back in the flow now. I can't wait to get started on all the little details!

Aeneas and Ty having a quiet evening in, holding hands and leaning on each other while lounging in his Solution 9 penthouse. Quiet conversation and soft touches and so much trust and adoration. Gods they make me so sappy.

And with this all the pieces are constructed and I can move onto all the detailing. While this looks like a lot, I'm barely a third of the way through everything that I need to make for him.

More examples of my perfect seams and the way I've put together the lining. Yes, the color blocking and details are also on the inside of the coat and yes, I'm crazy enough to add them.

Main body done! Though I think I might tweak it a little tailoring-wise once I finish up the lining. I want a little bit of a slimmer waist on it

My desire to have all of Tyrant's weapons vs my complete lack of desire to make them

Alliance raid... Promathia... Nag'molada please... just a crumb...

I love my static so much. I don't believe in blessings but I do believe in people, and they've been my only constant for the past 5 years. I'm honored I get to play with them day in and day out.

Finishing the lining and main body both tonight was an overly ambitious goal: I'm 90% done with the main body and 50% done with the lining. Will get that done tomorrow, and then hopefully I can move back to the pants for detail work!

Some fun seams for yall to look at. I take my color blocking so seriously

I'm hard at work piecing together all of these blocks today! Hoping to have both the main body piece and the lining assembled before raid time.

I need 3 of them

Are there any Tyrant body pillows yet? I'm genuinely asking

selling pax east saturday badge!

i bought it a while back and forgot and i now have too much Life stuff going on and won’t be able to go
$75 (i will express ship it to you if you’re not nyc local)

"You should cosplay Zeno from RE9!" Bro I just already look like this

Also hi if you're new here: I had a spinal injury in the beginning of 2021 that compounded existing chronic pain from my previous profession. I was only cleared for exercise again a few months ago and I'm ecstatic to take advantage of that.

To have even ONE thing to feel good in my own physicality again is so huge. I can't express how happy and proud of myself I am for pushing to this point in my recovery.

Weights will never even approach what I could do before, I'm too broken for that, but having supportive friends monitoring what I do to avoid further injury means I'm able to build at least some muscle again. I have no need to bench almost 3x my body weight anymore lol.

My mile run is down to 8:21 and I'm kind of in shock. Just a few years ago I could barely walk and I'm almost back to my <8min average. I truly never thought I'd be able to do this again.
