She's been through a lot and still smiles and heals people when she can ;u; My lovely white mage~

Oh also, its Final Fantasy XIV's 10th Anniversary since their rebirth (relaunch after a fail attempt) and they soar as high as the Phoenix :D

Happy 11th anniversary FFXIV! My husband and I began playing it in the 3rd closed beta in 2013 and wow it's been over 11 years now since launch. A lot of friends who started with us have pretty much retired from playing or are on their way to retirement. It can be pretty sad seeing everyone growing up and moving on while we're still grinding away. 😅

Admittedly I feel like this game keeps my mental sanity grounded (provided I avoid any difficult content and pug PFs lol.) It's nice to sometimes kick back and go off to grind some fates with just the two of us. My husband wasn't really into MMOs and I'm the one who's dragged him through a bunch of them but this is the only one that stuck for this long for both of us.

Just want to give a shout out and thanks to those few of you folks who like and reblog my little screenshots here. I've been moving my FFXIV stuff around between twitters, flickrs and instagrams but hoping I can finally settle here for the long term of the game. Compared to 2012-2013, Tumblr's gotten pretty chill so I like being in my quiet little corner here. 😙

New painting of my girl Kouri with hydrangeas 🥰 Sometime ago, I’ve taken a love towards hydrangeas and thought the vibrant colors compliment her signature silver hair and eyes so well.

It is that time again!

Year 6. This game has held me hostage for 6 years

Anyway, I really need to make more lore for my WoL. I say that a lot, but I just need to find more time to do so.

Year 6, man. I may not have been there from the very beginning of this game (1.0) But this time I'll be there for the very beginning of this new adventure. Can't wait.

On the 22nd sun of the 6th Astral moon, Rornir and Urianger were bound by handfasting across the bridge in Kugane Castle royal gardens.

A year passed, and the threads which wove these two fates together still hold as strong as they day they were bond. A year of personal growth, exploration, happiness, love, adventure and a hope for a future. Threads from the ceremony were woven into bracelets that each wear everyday. A single thread was woven into each of the rings. Rornir cast his ring wood, a Doman Dogwood. He had Urianger's ring cast in moon meteorite. A representation of their differences unified by love.

The traditional theme of first year was "paper". They participated in a paper fan dance and trade, they both made their own design and during the dance, the fans were traded. They then posed, at the behest of their besties, Alex and Thancred, for a secret fan kiss.

They then participated in a lantern lighting ceremony. They wrote their wishes and hopes and thanks on slips of paper, tied to a simple lantern. They lit it together and lifted it to the sky. A symbol of hope, ever burning fire, a prayer even to Rornir's patron, Suzaku. Rornir was surprised at how seriously and thoroughly Urianger had done his research.

They then had dinner at Rornir's favourite little shop. Rornir knew the owners grandparents, and had been a patron since the shop opened. He's witnessed the family grow through generations, a sweet Auri family. The current owners are his good friends and helped Urianger plan a special meal. When they docked, Alex and Thancred had arranged, per Urianger's request, a sea of red and white carnations. Another traditional representation for a first year anniversary.

As other friends Kugane residents departed (Rornir is Othardian born and spent most of his time in Kugane, so being a WoL from the East is a bit of a celebrity, and he and Uri currently live in Shirogane, so visit often) Rornir and Uri took one last photo of a sweeping kiss. As Uri seemed to have planned everything, Rornir had to have a moment of spontaneity.

They then made their way to one of Rornir's favourite spots, sitting on a wire across the rooftops. They sat in silence beside one another, gazing at the city that was their beloved home and up to the stars. They retired for the evening, flush and eager with love. After an intimate evening, they curled up together....and probably still haven't left the bed this morning.

Congratulations boys, on a happy first year of marriage. And thank you, as your little creator, for making my days happier and filled with love and laughter at your little lovey shenanigans.

(Sorry its late, I took these yesterday but by the time I finished it was late, and they'd have been lost to the algorithm and I want these to be seen. I'm very happy about them)

Fall and Rise

Delen's arc starts out as a citizen of a nation occupied by Garlemald, and before long she ends up alone in a foreign country where she's free but with almost no motivation to move forward, until an Eorzean pretty much takes her by the hand and encourages her to embrace her new home and come into her own.

Delen is a determined woman, even though she debuts in the story as a frail, small young girl in what was likely going to be the worst time of her life. It takes her a while to stand up from that blow, but it's only because of her grit and determination that she perseveres and finds the strength to keep going, and eventually even to seek martial training and become an adventurer herself.

Putting all these outfits side by side I think really highlights my design phylosophy for this character. Delen was born in a totalitarian country and she chooses to dress in a traditional, understated way in an effort to attract as little attention as she can get away with, with the ochre of her clothes accompanying the crimson of her hair. As she finds new indipendence she moves toward a more sporty style and complementary colors, mainly green and blue, and in her adventuring getup she decided to add a touch of red as well. Pretty much always present however is a white top, an element of clothing that she personally favors and that I feel brings all her designs close together.
