Bonus - melanistic Savannah cat was a CLOSE SECOND because I mean LOOK...

But the black viper is much more dangerous to humans (so the severity comes across better) and the fact that they don't have a "tell" before striking meant they're perfect for him...

But oh my god -
A photo of a melanistic Savannah cat which has a pitch black coat, a long slender body, and long legs. It's standing among tall beige wild grass with a serious looking expression on its angular face.

I've always wanted to do one of these!
But I've woken up with a migraine for the past 3 days so I had to use old gpose for it
An alt text of a mood board for my Drow oc Durafein with nine panels. The first is a cropped image of an asymmetrical black shirt with a deep open front revealing a masculine chest. Second is a plain color panel of a deep grey tone with neutral undertones. Third is the gpose of Durafein where he's holding a black fabric mask over his face as if he just put it in place and he's mostly in shadow but a band of light from a window is illuminating one of his crimson red eyes. The second row begins with ghost flowers. White stems curve at the top where a pale white bell shaped flower blooms. They're delicate and somber looking and are associated with mystery and death. The middle image which serves as the center of the panel is a gpose of Durafein in dark draped assassin attire hanging off the edge of a stone building by gripping a beveled ledge. He's holding a sword in his other hand, pointed downwards and cropped out of frame. The last image of this row features a closeup of a black viper snake coiled on a branch. The snakes are especially dangerous because they strike without warning. The first image in the last row is a cropped photo of white hair loosely pulled into a simple looped bun at the base of the neck which is an alternative way Durafein wears his hair when he needs it up. Bottom center is a long dark stone corridor with bands of light passing through archways giving a sense of depth with a pitch black arched stone doorway at the end of the hall. The final panel has a dark thorned background with the text "Death does lurk in the dark, and I am it." By Marin Vale.

Hi I'm a weirdo who journals my favorite gposes like it's the 00s or something

(I just got around to printing the text I'd made to fit the space lol)
A journal page that won't open flat because the journal is too stuffed at this point but even with a slight curve obscuring everything it's clear that there's three printed gposes dated 7/21/25 of a male Elezen in heavy silver and black armor with black angel wings. In the first printed pic he's standing alone holding a sword and shield with a white circle framing him against a grey background. Next to that is a print of the same character with a female Duskwight/Drow in his arms with her head rocked back and her eyes looking skyward. It's meant to be more Forgotten Realms "Drow" coded because in the space between the images there's a large sticker of a spider web with dew drops on it and small silver flowers with skulls in the center of the blooms decorate both images. Holo foil washi tape of a spider web underscores the first photo. Beneath that the text "And what is it to cease breathing, but to free the breath from its restless tides" is printed in two different distressed looking fonts. Beside that is a print of the armored character inclining his masked face towards the character in his arms and cupping her chin with his armored fingers. The bottom of the page is one long strip of spiderweb washi tape and a spider web sticker decorates the bottom of the last pic

Not my usual aesthetic but I need to show everyone what I put him through in-game

Also pretty much the only way I can show him smiling.
He smiles in canon, just not under circumstances we'd call "good"

#GPOSERS | #Elezen | #Duskwight | #ElezenHours
a grey Duskwight Elezen wearing a shiny light blue cat hood with long white fringed bangs hanging over his light blue eyes. He's smiling brightly and standing casually against a bright colorful background. He's wearing a cropped jacket made of shiny blue fabric with white trim and pink quilted lining, pink straps run down the sleeves. His nails are painted light blue to match and he's wearing shiny skin-tight blue shorts and thigh-high black legwarmers with pink and blue strapping with black shoes that have matching pink soles. Large black angel wings frame his figure and a thin white frame has been added to the background to encircle him. Light-colored sparkles randomly float through the frame giving it a whimsical appearance.

Spooky scrip grind
A photo of a steam deck screen playing FFXIV with a crafting window open for a lvl 90 collectible craft that's almost complete. In the background a movie is playing on a TV but it's slightly out of focus. Those familiar with the film will recognize it's an iconic scene from Hell raiser.

I genuinely forget how funny this mount is until it jump-scares me when it pops up out of my roulette.
smol Elezen is smol

#FFXIV | #Elezen | #Duskwight
a screenshot of an FFXIV mount sort of shaped like a jellyfish with a round purple and blue glossy reflective top and a glowing white ring with small rounded "feet" protruding beneath the ring. Inside the round blob-like mount is a tiny elezen who appears to have been shrunk down and is now suspended inside the shiny and sparkly dome-shaped creature.

Bound by the invisible chains of blood

#GPOSERS | #Drow | #Duskwight
a gpose screenshot of a female Drow with long white hair spilling over her shoulders and a white halo ringed with swords floating behind her head. She's wearing a silver circlet across her forehead with two lower pieces framing her cheeks. Her eyes are bright red and she's got a wicked smile as she looks down at the camera. She's holding her right hand up, fingers curled towards her casually. Her pointer and middle finger are heavily armored with long silver spikes at the tip of each fingers giving the impression of long nails. She's wearing a black dress with a deep V front that's bound at the waist by leather strapping. Her left hand is reaching down and resting just above a male Drow's armored shoulder plate. Her sharp armored fingers grasp lightly at his throat. He's wearing a simpler and duller silver circlet over his short white hair and he's staring straight ahead with ice blue eyes and a cold expression. His armored fingers grasp the hilt of a sword in the foreground which is pointed down and he seems to be resting on. He's wearing heavy black and silver plate armor and you can't see it in the shot but I did pose him with a matching shield but I ended up with a zoomed in shot instead.

A little belated birthday gift for @ahollowgrave.bsky.social
Two male Drow with grey skin and white hair wearing black attire. Durafein is standing to the left with his leather-clad arms folded over his chest, the silver plates of his gauntlets catching the light. He's wearing a sleeveless black top which leaves his midriff exposed. His pants follow the deep "V" of his hips and are fastened low with a black tie. His head is tilted upwards, his red eyes staring down at the camera with a slight scowl. Viedyn stands to the right with his arm casually resting on Durafein's shoulder, his heavily armored fingers resting lazily against his brother's arm. Viedyn is wearing a more elaborate layered top that leaves one arm and his midriff exposed. His pants rest mid-hip and fasten with a white tie. His chin is tilted slightly downwards and he's smirking towards the camera with an intrigued gaze.

Since it's patch day, everyone can see Durafein's (eventual lol) Daughter, as a treat.

#GPOSERS | #Drow | #Duskwight | #Elezen
A female Drow with grey skin that has warm undertones. Her eyes are a striking teal green and her cheeks have dark freckles. Her pointed ears are a mid-length compared to other elezen, and she's wearing a black sleeveless top with ornate embroidery and matching sleeves. Black shorts lace up in the front and there's a glimpse of a tall boot at her thigh. Her hands are on her hips and she's giving the camera a cocky smirk.

🎶🎵 This is my Island in the sun🎵🎶

(seriously tho don't sleep on islands)

And if I can't have everything
Well, then, just give me a taste

#GPOSERS | #Drow | #Duskwight | #Elezen
A closeup portrait of two drow. The male in the foreground has grey skin and short white hair with bright cerulean blue eyes and long pointed ears. The female behind him has darker grey skin, bright crimson red eyes, and long white hair. She's gripping his chin and tilting his head towards her, she's leaning towards him with her lips parted and her eyes narrowed, glancing at him as if she's suggesting something to him.

Oh yeah and... Durafein has a daughter (and a son, she has a twin brother who is definitely my backup character)

He undoubtedly sired children while serving his noble house but he had a pair of twins he actually helped raise about a century after the fall
A photo of a mini figure holding a dark bow and shrouded in dark grey and black with a hood and a mask over the lower half of her face. The mini is sitting on a tablet screen of her character sheet next to a portrait of a half-drow with light grey skin, freckles, and teal green eyes. Her name is listed as "Aleniyah" and she's level 6

Lost in surrender

#GPOSERS | #Drow | #Duskwight | #Elezen
A male drow with long white hair, dark grey skin, and red eyes laying on a red velvet blanket. Multiple hands from off-camera are touching his chin, chest, and hips. Another hand is holding his wrist above his head. His lips are slightly parted as if he's breathing more heavily and his eyes are heavily lidded.

HAPPY FRIDAY!
Posting this early (with permission) because everyone needs to see it right now.

Sort of a "surprise comm" from @lunareth.bsky.social I only knew it was going to be Durafein! ^_^

She always draws his hair extra long and I always let her cuz it's gorgeous
A black and white drawing of a male with pointed ears with his arms over his head as if he's lazily stretching. His body appears lighter against a jet black starry sky. Long strands of hair are tucked behind one ear and fall over his muscled shoulders. The ridges of his abs are defined, flexed by his body stretch and the Adonis lines above his hips dip low, disappearing behind the artists watermark.

My Half-Elf Eriyah! She's my D&D character from the same table as Durafein! She kinda developed a crush on him.

But when I started FFXIV I wasn't aware of the wildwood+duskwight relations (or total lack of)

That lore annoyed me and I REALLY like Viedyn so she got bumped for Drow content
A portrait of a pale Half-Elf with freckled skin, auburn plaited hair, and teal eyes wearing a black and teal outfit. She's standing against a lush background of yellow and orange foliage which gives the impression of fall.

(Here's a nice neutral one!) A few times a year I drive past this water tower in SC that has caused car accidents and been repainted who knows how many times because it's supposed to be a peach but it looks like a butt

Back from vacation and what did I do instead of gposing?
a drow with short white hair and medium grey skin wearing (out of character) modern attire in blue and black. His large black jacket has turquoise blue lining and it cropped to expose his middriff. His black pants have turquoise blue stripes down either side with black straps across the thighs. His tall black boots have turquoise blue laces. He's standing atop a white board with four gold prongs below pointing towards the center beneath the board where a glowing orb of blue/white is centered, some sort of power source to make it hover, perhaps?

I'm so bad at conventions.
Am I floating around in costume? No I'm playing FFXIV while eating frosted animal crackers but my badge is pretty!

Offering additional insight from NC - I could go buy these at the mall right now and they're ✨on sale✨ just need a photo ID. No permit or classes required.
Handguns don't require a permit to purchase but do require a background check OR a permit.
No permit or classes required to open carry.

Have a cozy corner of my island while I drown in crafts

#FFXIV | #EorzeaPhotos | #FFXIVScreenshots
a small outdoor bath with stone steps and light wood walls surrounded by purple, pink, and blue plants. A tree with colorful lanterns is positioned to one side of the steps. Inside the bath a glowing lantern hangs from the small roof and a cat is sitting on the floor beneath it looking outwards. A large purple wisteria is growing to the side of the outdoor bath and a grey stone pathway leads off into the background, lined with glowing lanterns, to an unseen destination.

Decided to try a 4-man "Oops all tanks!" run of Asphodelos: The First Circle (Savage)

It works VERY WELL (in fact it makes it a breeze each tank can take a turn cheesing the knockback mech instead of swapping)

We are gremlins and we love cheese prog, the more ridiculous the better honestly.
a screenshot from FFXIV of a flat arena with purple tiles and a purple glow around the outer edge, in the background large black iron cages are suspended by chains and a large black metal gate is framed with barren twisted leafless trees. Four figures stand on the arena, one a female Miquo'te with purple hair holding a large black battle axe with a blue glowing blade. To her right is a male Miquo'te with black hair and a long chainmaile outfit with a simple weapon sheathed on his back. In the center stands a tall male elezen in silver, black, and white armor with his arms crossed. To his right, closest to the foreground, stands a short lalafell with blue hair, his arms are folded over leather armor and a large axe is sheathed on his back.

Sorry - cozy vibe break
Of all the grow spots I mooch - this one is by far my favorite
a dimly lit room with a tan tiled floor and tan stonework walls and pillars. There's a small fountain on the back wall outlined with gold designs and a light blue inlay. In the foreground a large stone pillar with a curtain seems to separate rooms and in the foreground a more elaborate fountain with matching gold decorative trim and light blue inlay pours into three stone pillars with plants growing out of them. Three plants with small white buds are sprouting up from each indicating that there's a (functional) flower pot within each pillar

What an absolute gift to the "shoulder appreciation club" holy-

#GPOSERS | #Elezen | #Duskwight | #ElezenHours
A screenshot from FFXIV of an Elezen with dark grey skin and short white hair wearing black and blue headphones touching two fingers to one of the ear cups as if he's listening to something. His back is towards the camera and the light is generously outlining his sculpted shoulder blades which are visible beneath a tight white shirt.
