Hello again, my dear Wanderers!

I know, I know, "Ki'to, it isn't February yet!" But I have an announcement all the same.

As you all know, Starlight is fast approaching, and with it the time of gift giving and spending time with those dear to you So, to celebrate, we'll be collaborating with the Starlight Initiative this year in their weekend of gift giving!

I present to you,

A Starlight Stroll

Starting at 6:15pm (EST) each day on December 20th, 21st, & 22nd, we'll be gathering at Mih Ketto's Amphitheatre in Gridania to carol (*cough* /songbird) for 30 minutes, and pull in as many interested people as possible to come walk with us to the Starry Garden where the main event shall take place! The more the merrier!

The walk itself will take about 15 minutes, with a quick pit stop in Coerthas in case anyone doesn't have /throw!

So, bring your friends, your favorite holiday outfits, and your most festive mount, and come wish Eorzea a Happy Starlight with us!

Everyone who participates will get a gift upon arrival, so make sure to think about what you'd like to ask the Saint of Nymeia for this year!

We're looking very forward to being able to fulfill as many wishes as possible again this year! :>

We are still welcoming volunteers and donors with open arms! If you would like to fulfill a creative volunteer role of artist, writer, or gposer, we have a form you can fill out here.

Starlight Initiative 2024 :: Updates!

Hello! I hope November has been as good as it can be for everyone!

Thank you to everyone that has offered gil so far! It's been amazing to see the gil stores go up in preparation for the Weekend of Gift Giving!

Speaking of the Weekend of Gift Giving, it is currently being voted upon for which weekend of December that we'll be doing it on! In the meantime, we've updated our Discord with our new volunteer roles, which now includes a space for dedicated GPosers as well!

We plan on announcing the date for the Weekend of Gift Giving over this upcoming week! Please look forward to it! :>

On the topic of our creative volunteer roles:

These new volunteer roles are to denote people who are willing to go out of their way for winners who entered into raffles for creative works they may be interested in!

If you are interested in volunteering your creative efforts to give something to someone to make their Starlight a little more special, please fill out this form! You don't need to join our Discord to volunteer! We'd appreciate if you did, but there's no pressure to do so.

This form will allow us to keep all our creative effort volunteers organized and paired with raffle winners who want something more of what they're willing to offer! No worries about doing multiple things for several people, though! Once you're paired with a winner, that will be all that we ask of you!

Those that volunteer their creative efforts will have until the end of February 2025 to present their prize! If, for any reason you can't, please let the Organizers know so that we can see what we can do on our end!

Looking forward to making this an amazing Starlight with you!

It can be difficult to find other roleplayers these days, but if you're one, enjoy talking about your characters and want to meet like-minded folks with whom you might be able to roleplay, I have just the community for you!

You can join us freely—no need to wait for an invitation—and post about your OCs, events, share resources and basically everything you want that's RP related o/

[starlightinitiative]

I had meant to do up a post about this for ages but, unfortunately, work got in the way. However, I am very excited to announce with the Tumblr community changes that SEAFLOOR can now be freely joined! You do not need to message me or find an invite link; you should be able to join purely through the community. 🦑

For those unfamiliar with SEAFLOOR, the community primarily houses:

A permanent link to the Compendium.

Updates around my single-word question drive and character question drive (or any other project I take on).

Any content created from the drives including gposes, fic and art, whether reblogged or submitted by myself or members.

Other member submitted content, including the aforementioned drive work should they wish to promote it. It does not have to be connected to any of my projects—I want to see it.

Resource gathering including, but not limited to; prompts, commissions, how-to guides, tools, etc. Anything that doesn't quite fit in the Compendium but is worth boosting (though posts that fit will also be reblogged there, too!)

Event, character profiles, looking for content/rp/free companies and more. Anything and everything to do with networking in xiv.

Anything that isn't covered here but you think is in line with the spirit of the community and what I'm trying to foster.

There are some rules to joining the community but nothing major, just check out the pinned post before you join. ✨

We're also affiliated with the following other communities that you should join if you're interested!

⭐ Final Fantasy XIV 🐋 FFXIV Roleplay 📸 FFXIV Photographers

Right now members are posting their FFXIVWrite work so, if you're interested in getting you work seen/engage in a mini hype squad, why not check us out?
