hello 👋 my name is valya and this is my bsky! i play FFXIV and like to do a lot of GPOSE and RP and YAPPING ABOUT OCs but i will be posting other stuff here too! you can also find me at bala-xiv.tumblr.com !
⬇️ i have a ton of XIV OCs, so check the thread below for more info on them if you'd like! ⬇️
qestiri.bsky.social
had some OC thoughts which got waaaaay way too long-winded to post normally on bsky (you'd think that would clue me in to cut it out but i am, as ever, the irrepressible yapper) hum de dum
about violet of course (gesturing obviously at the tags). more specifically though i'm thinkin all about the two different versions of him that exist now, between deltarune and ffxiv, and even more specifically than that i'm thinkin about the ways in which they ARE different and yet also still the same like, for starters: addison!v went through a horrifically traumatic life-altering event, and his primary method of coping with that (aside from spending the following years of his life tracking down every person responsible and torturing them to death) was to isolate himself, and to keep isolating himself, further and further and further until the only people around him at any given moment of the day were violent criminals who he couldn't even fully trust not to turn on him at some point (and probably WOULD have turned on him eventually, given his only methods of keeping them in line were based in intimidation and his own capacity to do violence, had it not been for. well. you know lol). who else did he have in his life that he felt he could trust? certainly not the other addisons, except for blue, but he managed to even push blue away in the end, leaving him with nothing and no one to even try turning him away from the path of self-destruction... and then there's viera!v, who went through a similarly horrifically traumatic life-altering event (but didn't have the luxury of taking years to get his revenge because he kind of took them all out in one fell swoop (whoops)), and is similarly isolated -- if not even MORE isolated than the other guy, because he doesn't even have someone like blue around to help him recover from the immediate aftermath; from the time he escapes his situation all the way up until he makes his way to eorzea, he is completely on his own -- and traveling down basically the same path from self-isolation to self-destruction... except that he does, if only by accident, stumble into a support network -- a support network that consists of exactly one person, but that one person is someone who will not let go for any goddamn reason, who will not let himself be pushed away no matter how badly v lashes out at him, no matter how much v kicks and bites and fights and screams about it. like, this v still doesn't take care of himself in the ways that truly matter, he still engages in self-destructive habits and patterns of thought, and if left fully to his own devices then he would probably also be living in a derelict safehouse surrounded only by sycophantic goons...but he has ONE person, just the one, a weirdly co-dependent barnacle of a person, who, for SOME reason, a mystery to literally everybody but the man himself, cares enough about him not to let that happen. maybe that's what addison!v really needed (needs?) after all: someone who's stubborn enough not to be pushed away; someone who's brave enough not to flee. someone, just one person, to derail him when he spirals, to keep him from fixating on his hatred, the same hatred that warped his entire worldview and ultimately led to his death. maybe............... (looks ahead at some of the stuff i'm still writing for archive.7z) well. i guess we'll see!!! lol

cough. hhem. ok well it's been all of two days, and literally nobody asked, but even so i wanted to point something out: the bit at the end here where the narrative voice shifts to directly addressing one of the characters in the second person, actually does have a teeny TINY bit of precedent:
Blue takes a deep, shaky breath, a futile effort to still their nerves, and hesitantly reaches for the receiver. They pick it up with care, and they slowly, tentatively bring it to their ear. The world seems to slide out of focus, then, in that very moment, as everything in the immediate surrounds comes visually undone from itself. Colors begin to separate from one another, bleeding at the edges into a fractured, blurred reality. “H— Hello?” Your voice shakes; your grip tightens on the receiver. Something isn’t right. “Wha— What just... I-Is anyone there?” The strangeness of it all compels you to hang up, to abandon this unfamiliar point of view and return to the reality you already know too well. But you don’t. This gift of ＦＲＥＥＤＯＭ was never meant for you. Do you understand? Your only role in this play was as a spark to ignite the flame; as a means to an end; as a negligible loss; as a point of experience by which the chosen, those truly chosen, become stronger. Accept this truth, and your end will be free of pain. Accept the inevitability of your fate, and let go of these delusions of grandeur. But you never let go of anything, do you? The lone and level sands stretch far away.

w/ @magitekbits.bsky.social 's oscar! 🐺🤍🐍

[ #DOMINAVENENI | #oc:oscar | #OscarLina | #wolfandviper | #gpose | #garlean ]
Oscar and Lina set to a princess/knight au gpose. Ser Oscar is dressed in a white formal, almost princely suit with light blue and gold accents. Lady Lina is dressed in an elegant red dress with a large bow on the back, red gloves, and a golden hair accessory that resembles branches. Oscar stands a step above Lina, holding her hand to his lips his torso bending at the hip, looking her in the eyes, and kissing the back of her fingers. Although Lina is turned with her back to the camera, her free holds to her chest, and she looks up at Oscar with a gaze of adoration. Oscar holds her gaze with his own, love emanating from his eyes. They stand alone on a staircase, a spotlight engrossing them. All the world is to see them, yet no one dares to disturb.

#gposers | #ryuhiko
Intentionally formatted like a cutscene, Ryuhiko (Raen Au Ra, he/him and she/her pronouns) stands amidst the void with an uncharacteristic scowl on her lips, narrowed eyes affixed on her nemesis - a Lich, the Shadow of Death - off-screen. Captioned beneath him, he states: "Be it upon this shard or the next, there shall not be a mote of you left in existence." Ryuhiko's expression opens with anger - fangs bared, eyes wide, lips curled back in a snarl. Within her burns the resolve of the living, the strength that needs be mustered when staring the embodiment of death in the face. As one who clings to life with every part of his being, he calls, "This is my will!"

Hear my voice. Give in.

Five figures are pictured. Ultima, the High Seraph, three Blood Angels, and a young Hyur Midlander, Orpheus Royce. Off the the left is Ultima, arms extended forward, engulfing the Blood Angels and Orpheus. The three Blood Angels surround Orpheus. Two of them holding onto her. Meanwhile Orpheus is floating, hands holding a piece of Auracite, looking down at it as it glows a blue light.

Two figures are pictured. A young Hyur Midlander woman, Orpheis Royce. Sitting in a black void, Orpheus is hunching forward in pain, white angel wings sprouting from her bad. Blood staining the parts of the wing that connect with her back. Blood is also running down her back. Then in front of her is Ultima, the High Seraph.

realized they should experience consequences
Extremely low effort scribble fanart of Spamton and Tenna following up the quoted post. After making out on the escalator going down with Tenna’s back turned to the direction of travel they’ve clearly not noticed the end coming up and have fallen over at the bottom, Tenna lying flat on his back with Spamton sprawled on top of him and their suitcase halfway toppled over between Tenna’s legs. Spamton is emitting the roblox oof sound effect.

A slanted close-up portrait of Yein dressed in a red high-collar shirt and lit by red neon lights. They have a finger to their lips and peer over their dark sunglasses at the viewer. The tinted lens and their silver earrings glimmer from the light.

(Walks into the Deltarune fandom) "Hey have any of you kids ever played the Xbox 360 game Banjo-Kazooie: Nuts and Bolts?" #Deltarune #BanjoKazooie #Art #Fanart
A sketch-y digital art piece depicting The Lord of Games (LOG) from Banjo-Kazooie: Nuts and Bolts interacting with Mr. Ant Tenna from Deltarune Chapter 3. The Lord of Games is very dejected and whipped as Tenna, the much more popular TV man, is lording it over him. The dialogue reads as such: "Heeeey Lord of Games" "Aw hell, not YOU..." "Guess who made a bunch of zoomers play Link's Awakening" "Do we have to do this now..."

Art of Spamton from deltarune, smiling at the camera and holding out a bouquet of flowers. The bouquet is a pixelated PNG that contrasts with the cartoony digital style of the fan art.
