The Cat Apocalypse

Meow's it going?  I love art, books, games, history, cats, and chickens.  Desiree (AKA KittyPhoenix, CatApocalypse, Kimiya). She/they, bi/pan and happily married.

A couple of my favorite recent pose studies I've done. Much more motivating to practice when you turn everything into your WoL!

[kimiyaxiv]

A silly thing I think about every time I run Porta in this (non-canon) glam, especially since they're not friends in ARR.

It doesn't occur to her that she's so short, most people can see down her shirt without levitating many yalms overhead anyway 💀

[kimiyaxiv]

Happy Thancred Thursday! This practice sketch is one I did last week. I'm pretty comfortable with drawing my WoL now, so I've been working at getting the hang of drawing him. Even six months ago, I wouldn't have expected *this* to be the ship, but here we are 😹

[kimiyaxiv]

Maybe they should have brought Alphinaud, because tbh there's probably only one braincell between Alisaie, Lyse, Gosetsu, and Kimi at any given time.

Based on this interaction with Alisaie lmao

[kimiyaxiv]

There are a couple kids in the Brume who will throw snowballs at you if you approach them, early on. Unfortunately, Kimi's temper sometimes gets the better of her.

The last of the Six FFXIV NPC Fanarts is complete! G'raha Tia, as requested by an FC mate! Yeah, taco cat is not a fresh take, but I was pretty ready to be done with the set, tbh 💀😅

[kimiyaxiv]

I've neglected to share a lot of my posts from art parties and events here, so have this sketch from Kimi's experience joining the crab cult at an All Saints' Wake party last month 🦀

(I am most active on Bluesky nowadays!)

Happy anniversary!

[kimiyaxiv]

Sketched a quick comic after witnessing this dialogue while doing Heavensward New Game+ lmao. Kimi knows exactly who told him that, and he is clearly a bad influence on her precious children.

[kimiyaxiv]

Gosetsu, as requested by an FC mate! A less conventional depiction, since I really enjoyed his part in the Endwalker role quest in Doma, small as it was. And the Suzaku Cane is so pretty!

One more to go!

[trylonandperisphere]

Wow. The patience, kindness and calm communication skills. Outstanding.

This made me cry. I wish all situations could be handled as perfectly as this

[fatsexybitch]

I just want to point out the core of what the diffuser did in this conversation

They recognized that the mother was also expressing a vulnerable truth about herself - that she felt like a bad mother because her child was expressing gender feelings she wasn’t equipped to help with - and met her where she was, a concerned parent with limited information - to point her where she should be heading, research and resources.

Im going to make more of an effort to stop reflexively pushing people away when they express biases and make more of an effort to hear the underlying fears when i can

“it’s easier to love ourselves when we feel loved as ourselves”

damn that is so  powerful though

Beep boop! I look for accidental haiku posts. Sometimes I mess up.

I passed peer review! Thank you. I think these are important skills for everyone to learn. x

[kimiyaxiv]

A lot was going on, and I kinda forgot to post here as well! To catch Tumblr up, the Cornservant and Gaia were requested by FC mates for the Six FFXIV NPC Fanarts Currently, if you partake in the shorter-form social media, Bluesky is the place I'm most active with everything and Twitter is... still hanging in there lol.

[kimiyaxiv]

I attended the Art Party segment of the Exquisite Corpse/XIV Funeral event, and got a couple sketches done between other busywork and lunch! Verrot was the host, for his nameday.

[kimiyaxiv]

Was super tired and forgot to post this here! Second of the Six FFXIV NPC Fanarts is Iceheart, requested by Aerumna in my FC!

Much as I find making nice lines satisfying, I don't often like how they turn out, so I'm liking this cleaned-up sketch look at the moment. Just gotta avoid using that as a crutch to get away with flawed construction lol 😬

[kimiyaxiv]

"Are you my Nhaama?"

First one done for Six Fanarts of FFXIV NPCs: Magnai Oronir! Had a lot of fun with him, tbh 😹

Requested by kadenight_ on Twitter!

[kimiyaxiv]

Turned the TJPW photo of Mizuki into a FFXIV Pictomancer using Hammer Stamp, after one of the besties sent the photo to me a few days ago! Using Kimi's current Picto glamour 😸
