I wasn't sure if I wanted to attend, but I won the player exclusive lottery and would like to see my friends, so I'm confirming I will be at FanFest next year!

I will also be planning a FFXI meetup, so please be on the lookout for those details as we get closer! See y'all there!

There's having a niche favorite from a less-played game and then there's the way I am about Nag'molada

Why does bathroom lighting continue to be a cosplayer's greatest selfie ally when it's impossible to do makeup properly in it?!

Lore has always been mine- and Aeneas'- first love. Please talk to me about it at any time!

#Aeneas: me!

This is actually why the Ea in FFXIV also kind of look this! They're also souls that have discarded corporeal forms, and even other enemies in a FATE in their Ultime Thule zone (i forget the exact one) has other forms of disembodied souls of the Zilart from this part of XI.

I am still so overwhelmed by this gift I received from @meteionapologist.bsky.social at GATEway FATE this weekend. There's a longer story behind it, but the sentiment behind it genuinely rocked me to my core. Thank you so so very much for such a heartfelt gift!

Truly the best part of @gatewayfate.bsky.social is getting together with friends and sharing our passion for FFXIV in the same space! Huge thank you to everyone who attend panels with myself, @frostymog.bsky.social, @rookuri.bsky.social, and @fisherfruity.bsky.social this weekend too 💞

Debuting Calyx today!

Trying to describe how incredible GATEway FATE is once again this year, and I simply don't have the words yet. Too much fun with so many friends, I'm dead tired and can't wait to go again tomorrow!
October 19, 2025 at 5:57 AM
Heyo! Here's where to find me at @gatewayfate.bsky.social this year! All 3 panels that I'm on are on the first day, but I'll be there all weekend so please don't hesitate to come say hi, ask me about lore, and grab a goodie bag of stickers and extras from me 🩵💜
October 12, 2025 at 8:26 PM
I finished con crunch which means I finally officially have a lineup for @gatewayfate.bsky.social this year! I'm very excited to see everyone next weekend!
October 11, 2025 at 2:31 AM
With this, he is DONE! And I can take a break!
October 11, 2025 at 1:50 AM
Belt details because this is by far the most logistically challenging part of this design. Fabric glue is going to carry some of this I fear
October 11, 2025 at 1:10 AM
Lots of more hand sewing later, the cuffs are on and came out better than I could have dreamed of. The end is in sight so I'm pushing through to finish this cosplay tonight!
October 11, 2025 at 1:09 AM
I heat shaped and sand foam for the 3 dimensional cuff and pseudo-belt pieces before wrapping them in their base fabric and securely tightly with adhesive. This gets the piece done, but I'm back to hand sewing lace and appliqué hell this evening!
October 10, 2025 at 8:35 PM
My stickers for GATEway FATE this year are by @iovitus.bsky.social! Aeneas and Lae'knaught, each of my gals!

I'll have extra meme stickers and some of my gold-foil Aeneas trading cards as well, so please expect a goodie bag of stuff if you run into me 💞

And a try-on because I couldn't resist. I'm actually so thrilled with how it's coming together omg

Much sewing and swearing and more hand sewing and swearing later: the sewn portion of this coat is complete!
October 10, 2025 at 1:00 AM
Doing this again for the lower sleeves
October 10, 2025 at 12:58 AM
Next tier is the gold caps and oh man were these a logistical challenge. I'm using a combination of interfacing and corduroy as the core, with pinched gold backing to help the round shape, topped off with manual appliqué stitching for the details. This sets me up for the actual sleeve nicely though!
October 9, 2025 at 9:25 PM
Making good sleeve progress today: the next tier of corduroy that I for some reason decided to pintuck is on! The nature of the fabric means it maintains its own structure.
October 9, 2025 at 9:25 PM
With the main body of the coat done I moved on to the sleeve caps! These are pintucked for the custom seams and were cut based on the original muslin draft I made. This is where I stopped today for the sake of taking a break. Tomorrow hopefully more sleeve progress.

All of the flatlined edges have handmade bias carefully sewn on in continuous strips with mitered corners. Not my best work tbh but at this point I don't really care; I'm having fun working on this and it's giving the effect I want it to.
