A picture showing Senah the Bandit, shrugging and looking at the camera with a look of disgust. "Pirates love that shite!" Unless they don't.

Senah The Bandit (Probably): Does not know what Crypto Currency is; Still sells it to you
Senah is pictured shrugging, her hands part, fingers splayed, eyes wide, smile insincere. Retirement wasn't without its challenges. Trading in the forest thickets of the Shroud and the ever present dangers of the Elementals, the Wood Wailers, and everything in between for the raucous life that Limsa Lominsa afforded her, Senah found herself talking her way into and out of trouble. "Listen, don't even worrrrry about it," she'd purr, a simple statement, "We're gonna solve everything, just wait and see, ease into it, no reason to get pent up! We handle our business, everybody gets what they want! Its the opposite of compromise, everybody wins! Just give me some morrrre tiiiiiime!" When in doubt, purr a li'l, pirates love that shit.

A brief selection of my primary classes, and the weapons I use for them, with details put into the Alt Text:
The Red Mage Chicken Knife, available from the Stormblood Collector's Edition - I like it for being a red mage weapon that isn't a foil; Red's experiences are more with swords like you'd see the paladin class use, so she follows suit with her Red Mage weapon. In my head, instead of the Riposte > Zwerchhau > Redoublement combo, its the old Paladin Rage of Halone combo when she hits you with her sword; Ms. Badfakename is not a precision fighter. Red prefers it because it looks silly: if you're not taking her seriously, thats not her failure. The Gunbreaker weapon, High Steel Gunblade - a quest reward from initial unlock of the class, and also craftable by your friendly neighborhood Blacksmith. Red's history is that her starting village existed under Imperial occupation, and not particularly by the most technologically advanced parts of the military - their efforts were medical instead of militant. So, plain weapons like this weren't uncommon when Red was growing up. Its likely this is one such weapon she was trained with, chosen for familiarity rather than for imposing size and heft. The Machinist weapon, Quick Silver, available for 600 Poetic Tomestones from various vendors in ARR starting cities and Aelina in Mor Dhona. No matter how advanced and fancy technology gets in Final Fantasy XIV, no matter how modern clothing gets interspersed, I think a weapon that solidifies a "industrial revolution" era age is a good suitable fit for anything: plus, its exactly the kind of classic long barrel rifle that feels fitting for the time, even if my glamours are a bit ostentatious comparatively.

#Nekovember Day 20: Kunoichi

Scouting's a good job, mate.
Senah, in the Peaks of Gyr Abania, dressed to scout in the Alliance Aiming set, dyed hunter green. She has a hand to her ear, answering a linkpearl - in the background, a statue is headless, destroyed by Garlean soldiers, no doubt. The Eorzean Alliance's march through the Shroud and having their hand forced into mobility into Gyr Abania and Ala Mhigo by Ilberd Feare's false flag operation brought opportunities to escape, to evade the heat of capture: and Senah followed. Sneaking along with the Maelstrom scouts as if she belonged, she found herself put to work: first, to steady footholds as the Eorzean Alliance marched, then second, to destabilize Garlean pockets. After a time, there was a call to send scouts into the Ghimlyt Dark and beyond - there was an amassing, and people who could sneak in and past and see what lay in wait were valuable, with the Warrior of Light in absentia abroad in Yanxia...

I like a good Lunar Envoy set for my Dragoon outfit, which isn't particularly FANCY CREATIVE, but I love the capelet, and feel like its a fantastic fit for a mobile class like Dragoon, all bouncing near and far as it is!

Playing with lighting and filters on a Sinday #xivnsfw

...I'd seen someone on here mention using Bright 4, the stock filter option, and wanted to see if I could get good results with it, too.

#Nekovember Day 15: Flame

It Got Personal.
The camera is set from behind Senah: we see, before her, a member of the Brass Blades and a Wood Wailer both, setting aside their national differences to capture the bandit. Senah brandishes a spear and hides her face behind a helmet: she will not go gentle into the tense night. There was a point when the gang became as family. Lived as family. Fought as family. Stole as family. Faced consequences as family. Senah aspired to give her share to her children; her Family - a bastardization of a Miqo'te clan with Senah as the Matriarch - had ambitions, had goals, had dreams of comfort and riches and wealth beyond measure and saw only what they could reach and took more than they could carry and spent others' lives to take what they wanted. And in the Shroud that night, there was an awful fire, in the Shroud that night it burned in the chest of the woman who would be the most dangerous among the forests; in the Court of the Queen, the Shroud itself would stand in silent judgment screaming for only the Hearers of Gridania to hear its bloody yowling, and in knowing who they screamed of, they turned a deaf ear to the suffering of those undesirable of the Elementals further.

#Nekovember Day 14, Pirate

Megafauna Catgirls of the Past, Today; art is commissioned from @puppypresident.bsky.social (who has comms open right now)
A rendered art piece of a younger Senah dressed in leathers and spikes, with wilder, large hair, reminiscient of the 1980's "Mad Max: Beyond Thunderdome" film's Auntie Entity as played by Tina Turner. Senah wasn't all bluster and bluffing. There was a time when a threat must needs be made good on, after all. But if one watched, and one witnessed, and one thought, and one learned from the prey animal that was before them, they could speak: could speak large, could speak loud. The little merchant bastards from Ul'dah, for example, were insured: Senah knew it meant if the carriage driver and the birds were left safe, the merchandise was forfeit - something people from Ul'dah would write off their ledgers, had considered it lost already. The important things in that capitalist utopia was money, and money forfeit today was nothing compared to money forfeit over time: if you wanted to make an enemy of a foreign merchant, you attacked their bottom line. Senah did not. It was a production, really: you sighted your prey, you watched them, you moved through the Shroud's brambles like you lived in them, like you belonged in them, and when it was time, you threatened from them, you made your case all reasonably and clearly, and you reminded the little carriage driver that all they had to do was leave the goods, and they could be home in time for dinner, a little shaken up and a little scared but no worse for wear! But you don't make it personal, no, Gods no. You never make it personal.

#Nekovember Day 13, Mechanical
A picture of a clash of weaponry - we are seeing Red Badfakename in the harsh purple lights of Vanguard's hallway from behind the shoulder of Senah the Bandit; Red is dressed in a manner fitting the weeb equivalent of a Solution 9 fan. Red is **Pissed.** "When I think of the chances to do something GOOD you keep squandering, it makes me sick to my stomach! Piss off, already! Nobody here needs to suffer your delusional righteousness!" A POV shot of a clash, Senah the Bandit blocking Red Badfakename's Gunsword with her spear's stave. She is very calm about it, from behind her cheshire cat's smile. "You think of me? You're too young for me, little godskiller, but I'm flattered."

#Nekovember Day 12, Candy

Well, okay, its cake, but they're functionally the same, right? #xivnsfw
Senah is pictured from behind, standing in the waterfalls of the Shroud, nude and water soaked as if the picture caught her mid bathing. Tension, but she is at ease. To be a predator is to be efficient in movement. Do not do in ten steps what can be done in five, do not do in five steps what can be done in two, do not do in two step what can be done without stepping at all. Senah confesses to bluffing, will grin so easily and speak so softly, will confess so readily that she's speaking to speak, she's appealing to good sense and reason: we don't need to fight. Your life is precious, your goods are items on someone else's ledger. Just let the cart of goods go. But sometimes you have to fight. Sometimes, you have to remind everyone exactly who the FUCK you are, and you are the Queen of the FUCKING Shroud, and no dipshit sword possessing some dipshit adventurer on horseback is going to make people more tense than you are, because that's a fairy tail and you are a REAL GODS DAMNED QUEEN. OF THE BLACK SHROUD.

#Nekovember Day 11, Nun

"Rosencrantz and Guildenstern are on my back and I've had it-"
Senah, in raiments more befitting an anime nun rather than a proper devotee of any of Eorzea's Twelve, stands before the Sanctum of the Twelve to pray, and somehow, you suspect you're about to hear the most heretical messages ever commit in the name of Menphina, which will undoubtedly be a flowery amount of language that can be boiled down to "Fuck nasty."

#Nekovember Day 8, Wizard

"This is how they let you dress when you open books and throw magic about all day?"
Two women are standing in a photograph, in the foreground a young woman out of focus - in the background, Senah, dressed like someone on retirement. They appear to be having a conversation, and contradicting her words, she's smiling. "Its not like back in the old days, Ma, you can't assume there's a front line when you're - C'mon, stop fidgeting with my jacket, the others going to Sharlayan are gonna laugh at me," the younger woman says, Senah insists on pulling her jacket lapel taut more intently. "I never imagined you'd be a WIZARD," Senah marvels, pausing long enough for the younger woman to interrupt. "Arcanist. Summoner, I suppose, the way the Maelstrom gave us these stones, but- but not a WIZARD thats some stuff out of a fairy tale," she protests, but Senah keeps speaking over her, rolling forward. "You and your sisters deserved better than I could give and I did my best to give better besides," she continues rolling on ward. "Ma, you did your best, probably," the younger interrupts again. "...and the reward is you're going off to that li'l nerd island! I've never been. You'll have to give me a postcard!" "You'll have to not be in a gaol to recieve it." Senah winces - this, of all the things her daughter could say, lands quickest. "...I told you three. I'm done. For good." "Like last time? And the time before?" "For GOOD." "Until you need something out of one of your dead drops, and you go back, and since you're there-" "...look, its hard. You don't get it, you're a kid, but-" Their boiling argument is interrupted by the sound of a horn, from the docks of Limsa Lominsa, the younger woman looking towards the sound and back. "That's last boarding call. I'm going. I'll send word when I come back: be here. Be present. And answer some damn questions honestly for once when I do." The younger woman leaves, and Senah's left: alone. Looking aside and a bystander judges, jerking a thumb over a shoulder: "My kid's a swiving WIZARD. Wonders never cease."
