Happy Pride!

Happy Pride everyone! Here are all of my main OCs' ships with their respective pride flags.

Surprise! Even the lone M/F ship isn't straight!

Lalapril 2026 Day 15: Phantom

I originally had something else in mind for this post, but I couldn't resist the urge to get back to vampire AU.

Always remember folks: if your servants are concerned about some supernatural force stalking you, you listen!

Vanilla Gpose Challenge 7: Landscape

And so Altun and U'nyashima arrive at the Azim Steppe. Altun's birthplace. They arrived too late for U'nyashima's healing arts to change the fate of the Kahkol tribe. However, their time on the steppe would forge a new future for themselves, for the Kahkol tribe, and for the star itself.

This has been a really fun challenge to participate in. Doubly so with my and @laliluluho's couple alts. I hope you have all enjoyed getting introduced to Altun and U'nyashima. There will be much more of their adventures to come.

Vierapril 2026 Day 14: Home

Home isn't always a place. Sometimes home is a person. And in that case a simple umbrella in a rainstorm can feel as warm and welcoming as the most well appointed manor house.

Lalapril 2026 Day 14: Witness

Clare wasn't sure why she felt compelled to lie. Perhaps sometimes when a hurt runs deep enough we aren't willing to share that burden with the ones we love.

Vanilla Gpose Challenge 6: Rest

A brief respite in a storm of blood. A late night trip to the hot springs turns to early morning for the two young lovers seeking comfort and shelter in warm waters and warmer embraces.

[beyondaethericdreams]

Oh what's this? You appear to have caught the eye of the lady of the manor. She wants to know if you would like to stay for dinner. It's awfully late. Should you?

Scroll on to reject her invitation. Click on the Keep Reading to stay for dinner.

Oh dang she was a vampire, and she drank all your blood. No one could have predicted this.

Happy Nameday to @avampyone, and Happy World Goth Day to all my fellow enjoyers of the darker things in life.

Vierapril 2026 Day 13: Generations

[beyondaethericdreams]

Answering @caffeinated-moogle's questions from the replies here for anyone else who may have been a bit confused by this post.

This is taking place about 20 years after Dawntrail. That is indeed Bunzo and Erenville's daughter, Cahciua. I have shown her once before in this post.

As for that mysterious red haired viera: Bunzo certainly seems to think that's his mother. His recollection may not be the best though, as he hasn't seen her face since he was 4 years old.

Consider this a bit of a teaser for my WIP fic of Bunzo, Clare, and Lulu searching for his home village.

LalaprilMay 2026 Day 13: Aim

Emerges from my tomb coughing and shuddering to finally continue these prompts.

[beyondaethericdreams]

Two young lovers, freshly arrived in Kugane. Surely their comrades won't begrudge them a moment to appreciate the beauty of the sea.

Could Altun easily jump up onto the railing next to U'nyashima? Of course. But she gets to be cute when she wants to.

@laliluluho and I are both trying to make an effort to get more screenshots and gpose as we play through the MSQ with these two. I hope you all enjoy getting these little update posts as we continue on, and I'm planning a proper intro and back story post for Nya-Nya once I finish a couple other projects.

[beyondaethericdreams]

A very happy 9th wedding anniversary to @amalthea-felsblood's Marian and Estinien.

Estinien claims he has time for a quick training bout with Bunzo before his anniversary plans with Marian. Bunzo isn't sure, but also isn't going to argue. Sorry if your husband is late, Marian.

FFXIV Vanilla Gpose Challenge 4 & 5: dark/LIGHT

U'nyashima's scholar training has made him well equipped to bring light to dark places. Whether vanquishing undead or banishing voidsent there is usually only one thought on his mind when in battle.

"Oh my gods she's so cool" 😍

[beyondaethericdreams]

Vanilla Gpose Challenge 3: Pastel

When Altun was asked to be a bridesmaid by her Twin Adders colleague, Scarlet, she was surprised and delighted. Equally surprising, but much less delightful was her bridesmaid dress.

Ever the supportive boyfriend, her dear Nya-Nya chose a complimentary shade for his tuxedo. Altun was not thrilled with his decision.

[beyondaethericdreams]

Vanilla Gpose Challenge 2: Action

Neither torrents of rain nor Nidhogg's rage could deter the young lovers from leaping into action to save Altun Kahkol's dragoon mentor from the great wurm's thrall.

[beyondaethericdreams]

A safe night (You take my self, you take my self control)

I'm living in the forest of a dream (You take my self, you take my self control) I know the night is not as it would seem (You take my self, you take my self control)

I must believe in something, so I'll make myself believe it (You take my self, you take my self control) This night will never go

Happiest of happy birthdays to @fourteenthz! This post is a collab with my dear @laliluluho (who might have another post coming up later 😉)

Thanks for always being such a fun and lively presence in this community.

Vanilla Gpose Challenge Day 1: Portrait

U'nyashima Tia was born frail and sickly. His mother brought him to Limsa Lominsa to seek treatment for his condition from the arcanists' guild, and over many long years he grew into a healthy young man. In his 16th summer he was inspired to join the guild himself.

Little did he know on his first day as a fledgling arcanist just what path his studies would lead him down, and who would be walking that path with him.

This was a lot of fun, and I found some vanilla gpose options that I never knew existed. I'll definitely sprinkle the rest of these in as I continue finishing up on lalapril and vierapril.
