I was going to make a collage but I figure the least I can do is tag some of the amazing people in this end of the year project.

In no particular order I want to thank @feralkwe.bsky.social @vampyrofswords.bsky.social @narathemiqo.bsky.social @elezenpirate.bsky.social

Some gposes of this. First one was us testing them out. The shots work so well with the faux-VHS thing I've been playing around with when editing too😊Creating the wave and splashes took so many hidden actors to add battle effects and emotes 🤭

New mod 👀 @arctinae.bsky.social gave me the idea and we selected/created a few styles and also a template to add your own images to the board!

Link below!
Text on image: COSMO SURFBOARD, A cosmoboard mod made by Bumblebread. Image details three surfers catching waves on their custome surfboards. Seven surfboards are off to the right in different colors highlighting what the mod can do: the first one is black and orange, second is glowing orange, third is bright orange, fourth is glowing blue, fifth is deep blue, sixth and seventh are custom preview images with the help text saying: "Place your image here but make sure it goes a little outside of the lines for the edges of the board. Remember to delete this template once your image is placed. Have fun. :3"

2025 gpose review 🥹 It was actually super hard to choose a favourite for each month and I had so many that could have gone in any of the spots. I'm proud of all of them though, and had so much fun coming up with ideas this year.

My 2025 GPOSE Year in Review

Variety is my strength as I find new techniques to incorporate in my work over time. I look forward to learning more next year.

My favorite gpose activity was definitely the camp series. Hope to be ready for it again next year.
A collage of 12 different images over the year: Top left portrait: October photo of the Iron Maiden cosplay from graveyard keeper. A very All Saint's Wake styled photo with Dr. Arctinae accompanied by two bats. Top middle landscape: December's photo of Dr. Arctinae surfing on a surfboard out in the middle of Costa del Sol. Water is splashing in the background. Top middle portrait: January's photo of Dr. Arctinae sipping tea while in the brand new leisurewear set. Top right portrait: July photo of Dr. Arctinae in Sinus Ardorum posing with a cigarette on his lips. Middle square photo: November photo of Dr. Arctinae holding his arms out to the camera with a dialogue prompt over his eyes saying, "Do you really think you're in control?" Middle 5 cutouts: September photo of a Bunker NPC who displays five different actions - Shrug, Neutral, Scared, Upset, Conversing. Lower left landscape: March's Photo of Dr. Arctinae holding Corben like a soft fluffy baby in Sharlayan. Lower mid polaroid: June's photo of the First Annual Camp Arctinae with all the camp's staff posing together on their first day. Bottom left landscape: August's photo of four men in the same outfit are lounging about the thawed northern woods around a campfire while an ominous orb hovers in the background lighting up the area in swaths of red. Bottom middle portrait: February's photo of Dr. Arctinae holding up his tomestone. He stands in an area of Pearl Lane in Ul'dah that is covered with torn posters and graffiti. Bottom middle landscape (inside February's photo): April's photo of Dr. Arctinae, an auburn haired man in black & white tie ensemble (bouncer's suit with diadochos leggings) striking a fighting pose (Viper PVP LB) up against a dark and stormy night sky with flashes of lightning in the background. Bottom right portrait: May's photo of Dr. Arctinae and his bluegrey chocobo, Princely, dressed and ready to attend Camp Arctinae in a summerish forest.

Was it love at first sight?
The compulsion, the breathless yearning, to be with her.
Two silhouettes of a PC and NPC, one on the left with his hand outstretched and the other with her arms folded across her chest. In the background is an EKG readout of a faster than usual heartbeat.

Small spoiler but Bumble made me Deep Blue and Red Hot's surfboards. He even made it to where it could be painted with different colorsets. It's one of my favorite things. Look at him, like a kid showing off his gift from crimmas.

Running from the past. She can't tell them that they were best friends in the world she was pulled from; seeing them in Sharlayan while her boss does business is a painful reminder that this is not the world she knew.

Are you ready to face the Trickster and the Nightmare for the Tag Team titles!?

My friend Hiyori Kubane requested this and I was only way too happy to oblige!

"Best I can do is a tech deck" and "I don't know I'm not your fucking mom." I cracked up so hard today.

QRP with alt text. <3 I love our free company shows.
A six panel comic detailing the Trust's take on "Cinderlla aka Bumblella". In the first panel Dr. Arctinae dressed as the fairy godmother (in a garden gnome outfit with blue wings) is smoking a cigarette and saying, "Sup, I'm your fairy God... whatever. You will go to the ball, etc. What do you want." And Bumblella in a fairy princess outfit, /wow's at him saying, "The script says you're supposed to give me a pumpkin carriage?" The second panel details Dr. Arctinae throwing a mini tech deck (skateboard) at Bumblella, "Best I can do is a tech deck, kid. Good Luck." The third panel details Dr. Arctinae leaning up against a post smoking a cigarette as Bumblella looks at the tech deck in wonder going, "I guess I need to be home before midnight, right?" The fourth panel details Dr. Arctinae with his hands in the air going, "I don't know? I'm not your fucking mom." The fifth panel details Dr. Arctinae looking at the camera as Bumble squints at him going, "Are you sure you're my fairy god-whatever?" The six and final panel details Solenae and Aphra, the directors of the play in suits and ties saying, "I don't think any of that was in the script, Aphra."

We've way too much fun at the company plays.
Presenting "A Starlight Carol" from last year.
Dr. Arctinae as Ebenezer Arctinae in the first panel up on a balcony. He's in a huge fluffy nightgown and night cap looking down below saying, "You there lad, what day is it? What time is it?" Bumble as Tiny Bumble looks up to Ebenezer Arctinae and says "Fuck off it's wednesday!" The third panel swaps back to Ebenezer Arctinae with a mad look going, "You fuck off!" The final panel focuses on Aphra and Solenae as they look confused going, "I don't think that's in the script."

For Starlight this year the Arctinae Trust put on a performence of "Cinderella". The Director discovered it's very hard to keep your actors on script 🤭

Some photos from my summer adventure. It was so foggy and damp in the first picture but I scuttled around d searching for cool rocks

Bumble canonically just wears whatever he finds wherever he happens to be. So when he gets a new piece of gear from a dungeon and is now wearing an entirely mismatched outfit it’s canon and actually how he dresses a lot of the time.

Does your OC make their own outfits? Have a special tailor for them? Buy them in markets and hope they are to size? Or something else?

Another Ubique advert because I realised I never do the big group ones with the secret 4th member 🤭She is their tiny guard.

I was thinking about how Bumbles sister is actually the warrior of light instead of him, but she just wants to work at the bakery instead of saving the star.
So here she is doing her best to avoid that responsibility 🤭

Some new flyers up on the boards in Ul'dah 🤭 It was going to be just the Ubique advert, but the shape I made it didn't fill the whole board so I added a Mr Meowstoffelees, the original conjuring cat, and Adam and the Antoise ones
