Drow XIV @drowxiv.bsky.social · Dec 20
Intro Post

My content:
-Drow OCs brought into FFXIV
-Occasional shirtless male Duskwight
-Possible suggestive content (flagged)
-Non-Explicit

I curate my online spaces. I may not always follow back and I may block certain content. That's on me.

Questions or WCIF - please DM!
Two male Duskwight Elezen standing with a grey stone wall in the background. The one on the left appears shorter and is standing closer to the camera. He has long white hair and wears a black mask over his nose and mouth. His eyes are crimson red. He's wearing flowing black attire that appears fitted at the waist, armored arm guards, and he's holding up a short bladed weapon in a defensive position towards the camera. Behind him and to the right is a taller Duskwight. He has short white hair and wears a black and silver circlet. His head is tilted to the side and he appears to be smirking. He's wearing heavy plate armor that has a layered and wicked looking pointed design. It's difficult to tell at a distance but his eyes are an icy blue. He's resting an armored hand on the other's shoulder as if to hold him back.

Me: "Okay I'm going to resolve to yap less, focus on OCs more. I really want to aim to be one of those cool OC accounts where people can just vibe and appreciate OCs."

Me less than 24 hours later: "BUT DID YOU SEE THIS NEAT HELMET REFLECTION!?"

I'm beyond help lol

Nobody was going to tell me you can see the reflection of the dressing room when you try on the Powersuit Helm?!?
A cropped screenshot from FFXIV showing the "try on" dressing room window with a grey background. A large reflective space helmet is zoomed in and fills in most of the window leaving very little grey background showing. A room with rugs and furnishings is visible with tall pillars, high ceilings, and a bright light source.

My "stop infantilizing yourself and fictional characters" post is doing numbers and while I stand by that 100% (of course), an addendum I have is that there is nothing more boring & broke than judging fictional characters by the same standards as real people.

Try the grey stuff - it's delicious!

(No, seriously, don't lick him he tastes like sweat & leather)
My OC, Viedyn. A Drow with grey skin and short white hair wearing a silver and black circlet with matching armor smirking at the camera. A close-up photo of "The Grey Stuff" from Disney parks. This version (No idea if they still even serve this, who knows) is a white chocolate cookies & cream mousse with a red velvet and raspberry filling. The cookies & cream seem to be finely blended which gives the white chocolate mousse a grey appearance. It's piped in a spiral on top of a biscuit and decorated with edible pearl sprinkles.

You can take him in a fight right?
Another ffxiv screenshot of the Tyrant because I’m unwell. He’s holding a great sword while facing the viewer

LRP -

Most of my OCs are just D&D OCs created in FFXIV for funsies & gposes

10/10 highly recommend

It's especially fun (to me) to dress them up in "modern" "AU" outfits

Should surprise nobody that I -really- like white hair. I think my absolute favorite combination is white hair with grey/silver eyes (My alt Vhar will demonstrate!) Most of my retainers have this combination with complexions from fog grey to gunmetal grey.

I dunno why I like a lack of hue so much
a cropped headshot of a Viera male with medium grey skin, white freckles, and light grey eyes. His hair is long and white with two braids at the side of his face with silver fastenings to hold them. He's wearing a black jacket and fingerless studded gloves, visible as he's holding his chin and smirking at the camera in a way that makes him look like he's considering what he's seeing.

Durafein's Daughter, Aleniyah
Lovingly referred to by her party as "Glass canon"
Has a secret & unrequited crush on a Warforged
Comes up with ridiculous plans that work 80% of the time
Accidentally ruined the DM's plans 3x and counting
A shadowy figure in a dark stone corner with an arrow drawn and held at the ready in a dark wood longbow with silver detailing. She's standing in shallow water and the light coming through the stone corridor is catching her arm and part of her chest as she readies her bow. She's wearing leather with metal armor reinforcing her shins, knees, elbows, and her right forearm. Her leather is a mix of black and dark teal green. Her skin is a light/med grey and her long white hair peeks from beneath her black hood. The hood hangs low over her face so only her nose and mouth are visible, a confident grin can be seen on her dark grey, lightly polished (they have chapstick in D&D right?) lips.

Inside me are 2 wolves
One of them wants to be cool and mysterious and post thirst traps and leave people wanting more

The other wants to yap about bonding over feeling like an outcast, the damage of societal expectations, and the corruption/weaponization of religion as a means of control & wealth

Durafein & Viedyn come from a Forgotten Realms-esque subterranean totally-not-Menzoberranzan city I haven't named because I'm lazy

Since Viedyn falls with the house and Durafein escapes, it's ultimately unimportant. Durafein doesn't think of it as "home" since there's nothing to return to

where does your WoL/OC/NPC come from?
is it a canon area or some village you made up for them?

I really wish there was a way for FFXIV crafters to buff nearby crafters.

It would be cool to let FC-mates pitch in even when they're under-geared or encourage crafting huddles in main cities and relic areas.

#GPOSERS | #Duskwight | #Elezen

Stood in normal-ass mechanics, but damn I looked good doing it.
A Duskwight Elezen with short white hair and grey skin. He's wearing a black leather coat with a cowl neck and overlapping details down the front. His arms and neck are clad in metalwork giving him a futuristic appearance. A black halo with a glowing blue ring hovers behind his head and he holds a glowing white chakrams in each hand. His simple black pants are close-fitted and expose his knees, although they're partially protected by knee-high boots with blue laces. He's standing on a futuristic-looking blue and purple background.

Color the night

#GPOSERS | #Duskwight | #Elezen | #ElezenHours
A Duskwight Elezen with grey skin and short white hair leaning into frame, staring at the viewer. Long fringed bangs hang over his blue eyes. His lips are pulled into a slight smirk. Black earphones with bright blue trim partially cover his ears and glowing blue earrings hang from beneath them. He's wearing a double-layered black leather choker with a silver and blue charm dangling in the hollow of his throat. The light purple lighting is catching the curve of his collarbone and a plain black shirt peeks from beneath a blue and black coat. The same Duskwight Elezen as the portrait, now seen full body. He's resting on the ground with one leg propped up and bent at the knee with his arm draped lazily over it. The other leg, closest to the camera, is resting against the ground, bent at the knee, with his foot tucked under his other leg. His other arm rests on his lowered knee giving him a casual posture. He's wearing a long black and blue coat with fur trim around the collar, black fingerless gloves trimmed in matching blue, and tall black boots with blue laces. Large black wings arch up from his back and extend off frame. The background is a mix of light neon blues and purples against deep navy blue and black.

tweaked the FC yard to be a little more private
loving the Zormor Stone Lanterns with the Hedge Partitions

#FFXIVHousing
a night-time screenshot of a cozy Ishgardian yard with large Ishgardian buildings rising in the background. The yard has a stone and iron gate, tall hedges form a sort of 'fence' around the front perimeter with tall stone lanterns sitting in gaps between the hedges. Tall willow trees hang over two cozy stone bath houses and a large stone fire pit with benches is centered on the two bath houses.

Better late than never!
Went up as a scheduled post yesterday on my Tumblr but I couldn't get around to re-posting here til today :P

So happy Friday! I managed to Gpose every month (just barely!) which was my goal for 2025 so I'm pleased.

#GposeWrapped2025
a dark graphic with a black frame showing 12 slots, each labeled for a month of the year. The center reads "2025 GPOSE WRAPPED" in all caps and "Final Fantasy XIV" is written below it. The images depict my favorite gposes for the year, mostly depicting my Drow OCs, Durafein and Viedyn.

Whispers of danger
from the shadows

#GPOSERS | #Drow | #Elezen | #Duskwight

I finished this at 11:52pm last night so I'm counting it for December
A male Drow with long white hair and red eyes leaping from a shadowy alcove with two narrow swords poised to strike. He's clad in black with a black mask over his face, his right arm is crossed in front of him, partially obscuring his masked face, and his fingers clasping a black grip are barely visible in the shadows with a glint of a blade's edge. His left arm is raised behind his head holding the other sword behind him.

Absolute FAV - this has been my phone background ever since!
It was directly inspired by the "Play" scene from Interview with a Vampire (the old movie - not the show version)
And it was meant to be kinda "Angel of Death" vibes OR "Romantasy" vibes OR both depending on the viewer!
A fully armored male Elezen, holding a female Duskwight Elezen in his arms. She's being held against his chest with her back supported by his left arm, pointing her shoulder towards the viewer. Her skin is grey toned and she's wearing a sleeveless black dress with black decorative metal pieces resting on her shoulders, functioning like straps. From them long ornate chains with ruby colored jewels hang down over her chest. Her eyelids are tinted red with eyeshadow and her lips have been darkened black with lipstick, causing the edges to catch the light. Upon her forehead there's a simple black crown that juts downward at her temples to frame her face. Her back is arched and her head is tilted back, gazing directly upwards with half lidded eyes and parted lips. His armored fingers can be seen gripping her side just above her waist to support her, his large shield partially obscuring her arm behind it. His other hand appears to be delicately caressing her neck with heavily armored fingers that come to points. He gazes down at her through the empty sculpted eyes inset into his black helmet's visor. The background is dark grey and once again a glowing white circle appears, this time behind them both, framing the way he's gazing down at her.
