#IntroductionPost

Howdy! I'm a 40+ year old #LadyGamer with an avid love of all things #Fantasy!

You can find me in #FFXIV, #Palia, #FieldsofMistria or some other cozy game -- plenty of avenues to meet me on!

Mostly, I just like to help folks and chill. So let's just vibe and have some fun!

Behold, the beautiful art that @lilyia.bsky.social did of my midlander hyur from #FFXIV. She's a wonderful artist and well worth following for all the pretty artwork she puts out! You never know, she might even open commissions again at some point! ^.~

Another portrait for @casualcatte.bsky.social of their character Gospel.

This was fun to do, final fantasy characters are so extra and their outfits are always detailed. My muse got a little carried away but I enjoyed it very much.

Don't waste your time and effort on people who won't return it. True friendships or relationships are about give and take. Stop giving leeway to takers, find people who give you as much as they themselves receive.

3 years ago I promised a goodbye gifts to those in my server upon retirement. Sadly my health turned for the worse. It really hurt too much. But now with my implants removed and my pain disappeared, I can tackle art again. So I'm keeping my promise. The first, a character from Final Fantasy 14 #art

Xochitl talks to the gladiator-turned-adventurer, Lewenhart Steele, about bygone days and the nation of Tural. I never know what the Quicksand will suck into my orbit on any given night.
