Long post

The past: in summary.

The Steppe:

Mizuki was born on the Azim Steppe to the Arulaq tribe. She's the oldest of four. As per their tribes traditions, the eldest of the family would become a reaper to protect their tribe and guide their spirits when they died. Mizuki didn't want this. She skipped her training to explore the Steppe. Which got her into a lot of trouble.

She has a chance meeting with a dragon that spurs her desire to learn magick.

Eventually she is forced to partner with a great spirit (voidsent) and that year on her thirteenth summer. She takes part in the Nadaam and the influx of loud shouts/screams, fighting, sent Mizuki into a melt down and she unleashes a powerful spell that silences the Steppe and claims victory for her tribe: the only time they would.

An argument occurred with her father and he told her to get out. She is picked up by chance by Camélia a great sage who took her under her wing.

She meets Y'shtola during her 13-14th year (need to figure out how old she was during the Calamity) She is then taken to Sharlayan during the panic of the summoning of Bahamut.

The Sharlayan Years: 14/15? - 20/21? <due to change

Mizuki spends all of her years studying. She's very quiet and withdrawn during this time. Mizuki takes an interest in botany during a trip to Labyrinthos. Which links to her learning alchemy. If she couldn't learn the healing craft of her master, perhaps this would be just as good! She could help people this way. (it didn't help)

She joined the Studium choir, in hopes it would make Camélia proud.

Mizuki works herself into the ground: a lot. She is at the top of her classes and publishes several theses. One Camélia hates the most is: about how Mandragora can help keep the land healthy (will think of a good title)

another was: the origin of magick.

The early years of adventuring/ARR

Mizuki teams up with Cyneweard and Ghyslain two wildwood Elezen. They sought treasure and status. Mizuki was fresh out of Sharlayan and they thought having a renowned scholar of Sharlayan would help them. It did not. A few months in Cyneweard dies in a dungeon.

Mizuki gives up adventuring for now. Goes to Ul'dah and further studies at the thaumaturge guild and picks up Blue Magick which helps earn her some extra gil. She makes a name for herself within the guilds and a few years past she finds herself being swept up into the Scion business. Y'shtola is overjoyed to see her again.

I will add more!

Couldn't pass up the chance to make this meme with Tha'li and T'su — it fits them way too well.

This is really casual but

I’ve been really enjoying drawing people’s WoLs. Would anyone be interested in commissioning me? 🤔🤔🤔 you’d get a full color pic and a timelapse of the process w/your choice of music (or I could choose)

I’d take suggestions but I would feel bad not doing everyone that submitted, which would be potentially really overwhelming. Just DM or comment on this, and reblogs are appreciated!

I think I’ll have 5 slots. That seems really ambitious but just in case

A very happy birthday to @ravandfriendsxiv!! Thank you for the wonderful prompt. I hope you day is at relaxing and filled with laughter!

Wedding Rhyme OC/Ship Asks.

“Something old, something new, something borrowed, something blue.”

Originating in Lancashire, England, the rhyme represents tokens that bring good fortune, protection, and prosperity to the marriage. Each item carries specific symbolism: "something old" represents continuity; "something new" symbolizes optimism for the future; "something borrowed" brings good luck; and "something blue" represents love, purity, and fidelity.

Something Old: The past, legacy, roots, and what still lingers.

What is a possession from their past that your OC refuses to part with?  What does their lover or spouse think of this item?  Do they appreciate its significance to your OC?

What family or cultural tradition or belief has shaped your OC’s attitude to love and relationships the most?  Have they questioned or rejected this wisdom?  Or do they find comfort or purpose in this connection to their heritage?

What memories or information do they have regarding their parents’ relationship?  To what degree doe this influence their attitude to their own relationships?  How aware of this are they?

If your OC could revisit one moment from their romantic past, without changing it, which would they choose?  A first meeting?  A first kiss?  A satisfying end to a doomed affair?  Or something else entirely?

What family heirloom might they hope to pass onto their descendants, or at least those they leave behind when they die?  Would those to whom they leave this inheritance fully appreciate its significance?

Something New: Hope, change, beginnings, and the future.

What is something new to which your OC’s lover or spouse has introduced them?  Perhaps a new and exotic food, a unique world view, or a particularly compelling new sexual technique?

What is your OC most looking forward to in the next chapter of their romantic (or sexual) life?  Do they even have a clear plan or idea about what will happen next?

How has being a relationship (or variation thereupon) changed your OC?  Has it made them calmer and more risk-averse?  Or more confident and assertive?  Or is it hard to perceive any change in them at all?

If they could go back in time and begin their relationship again with no consequences, what would they do differently?  Would they be quicker to make the first move?  Slower in settling down? 

What about being with their lover or spouse excites your OC even if it also scares them?

Something Borrowed: Connections, trust, influence, and shared lives.

What habits or mannerisms has your OC started to pick up from their lover or spouse?  Are they aware of this themselves?  Does anyone ever tease them about this?

Does your OC go to their lover or spouse for advice?  Are there some areas in which they defer to them, or do they remain fiercely independent regardless of their relationship status.

How long did it take your OC to trust their lover or spouse?  If they actually trust them at all of course…

What quality about their lover or spouse does your OC admire so much that they've tried to make it part of themselves?  Would they ever admit to this?

Has your OC found it easy to share their life with another person? Were there some things they found harder to compromise on than others?  Is there something they will always keep to themselves?

Something Blue: Love, loyalty, purity, and enduring devotion.

Does your OC wear or otherwise display some symbol of their loyalty or devotion to their lover or spouse?  Or do they keep a secret token hidden beneath their clothes or armour?

Has your OC sworn any oaths, or otherwise made promises of fidelity and commitment, to their lover or spouse?  If so, then did they make this declaration in front of others, or in a private and intimate moment with their beloved?

How does your OC’s lover or spouse comfort them when they're feeling lonely or overwhelmed?  Or would they never show weakness, even (or especially?) to them…

Was your OC the more sexually experienced partner when entering into their current relationship?  Or were they shy, or even chaste, compared to their new lover?

To what degree was love and/or commitment on your OC’s agenda at the point they met their current lover or spouse?  Was it something of which they had always dreamt?  Or did it come as a surprise – welcome or otherwise…?

Worthy

“Off duty, hero?” one knight asked, noticing her lack of robes today. She had opted for a more Ishgardian approach, wearing a dress which Edmont had gifted her. 

Mizuki laughed nervously “Father- Count Edmont, that is -  was kind enough to gift me this ..Does it look strange?”

“Don't be rude to her!” one of the female knights scolded. “You look very pretty, Miss Mizuki.”

“Is the Lord Commander around?” Mizuki asked, desperate to change the subject.

“He’s in his office,” a knight replied.  “You can head on up.”

Mizuki opened the heavy wooden door and walked up the stairs towards Aymeric’s office. A few steps from the door she slowed to a halt because she could hear the conversation  inside, Aymeric and another man’s voice she didn’t recognize.

“Ser Aymeric, I know you have a lot to manage with the Dragonsong War and this might seem trivial, but-” The man paused. Mizuki didn’t mean to eavesdrop and had turned to leave, but her feet froze to the spot as the man continued.

“My daughter Elvinne, she overstepped her station in sending you a letter of a compromising  nature-” Mizuki inhaled deeply. That woman! I wonder if Aymeric replied to the letter?

“At first I scolded her but she was very passionate about her feelings for you and as a father I cannot ignore my daughter’s feelings.” 

“Yes, I recall the young lady.” It was hard to read Aymeric’s tone.

“You have a fine eye, my lord,” the man chuckled.  “I come with a proposition. Why not join our households? Elvinne is an accomplished young woman, and she would make an excellent wife to carry on our house's legacy.”

Mizuki stood rooted to the spot.  The man was right, his daughter would make a perfect wife for Aymeric.  How could she be good enough for him? She tried to shake the negativity from her mind. He said he loved me… But their relationship was still early and with everything still going on, only a few people knew.  She felt stupid in her dress. I shouldn’t have worn it..people will gossip.  And unsavoury gossip was the last thing they needed right now. 

“I’m afraid-” Aymeric was quickly interrupted.

“You must join us for dinner one evening and meet her properly.  She’s a sweet girl, well tutored and well mannered.  A proper lady suitable for an upstanding gentleman as yourself.” The man kept talking.  “Just one evening,” he insisted, almost pleading.

There was a pause before Aymeric responded. “I will consider it, when my schedule permits.”

Mizuki felt her chest crumbling into pieces as the man exclaimed, “Oh, wonderful. Elvinne will be overjoyed.”

Mizuki turned and hurried quietly down the stairs. “Did you see the Lord Commander?” the knight asked, as she made a bee-line for the door. 

Mizuki stopped, smiling over her shoulder. “No, he was busy. I shall-” She paused.  “Could you hand this to the Lord Commander? It is not that important.” She handed the knight the letter and escaped the Convocation.  She kept her composure, though the lump in her throat threatened to make her cry.

Mizuki headed back to the Fortemps Manor with great haste.

She had to compose herself before she entered the manor. She didn't want anyone to see her crying over something like this. Mizuki had to accept that she wasn't worthy of Aymeric.

Why did I let myself believe I could be loved?

Crenic Namalen

Where once his fate appeared grim,

And chance of survival seemed slim,

Crenic now scries a fate,

With his beautiful mate,

And a mind full of pictures of him.

Whatever is this profound personification of prognostication permeating the present? Why it's another unforeseen occurance of ridiculous poetry, this time to celebrate the shy but splendid Crenix Namalen of @disaster-husbun!

One of my first mutuals and an all round good sort, @disaster-husbun is definitely a blog that deserves more attention and interaction. With not only Crenic, the titular husbun himself, but also a number of other equally engaging OCs that are well worth your attention.

Plus I can thoroughly recommend sending them any OC asks that they happen to reblog - their answers are always interesting and fun!

An excellent OC blog with an excellent creator - go give them a follow if you haven't already done so.

I have officially moved into my own home!!

Finally getting a moment to sit and exist.

My poor knees are black and bruised from so much lifting.

I was worried my internet wouldn’t work but I got ff up so.

Mizuki can be calm for me

✦ Welcome to my little corner of Eorzea! ✦

Hi! I'm Mimble (he/him). Although I in-game I also answer to Humble (my other OC), and on Discord you will see me going by #Bear.

This blog is mostly dedicated to Final Fantasy XIV, and is guaranteed to contain some degree of the following:

✦ Lore and writing about my own OCs.

✦ Vanilla Gposes and screenshots.

✦ Sharing OC Ask Lists and Character Development Ideas.

✦ Highlighting and celebrating other creators in the community.

✦ Boosting FFXIV events and community projects.

✦ Supporting and encouraging new or less confident creators.

✦ Occasional reblogs of art, memes, and pretty scenery.

✦ General silliness.

My sideblog @sparkleblogging is a place where I reblog other people's gposes, writing and posts. I try to ensure there's a good balance between celebrating established creators and highlighting smaller and newer blogs.

About me

I've been playing FFXIV since about 2022 and both my characters are currently on Chaos-Moogle (EU).

This blog is very much LGBT-friendly (I am gay myself), but equally welcoming to heterosexual and cisgender bloggers and OCs.

I am extremely ADHD, and even when I remember to take my pills it still impacts me heavily in my day-to-day life, including on Tumblr - so please try to be patient with me. I also have Dyspraxia and Dyscalculia, because I apparently like collecting developmental disabilities with Ds in them...

Whilst I don't generally go into detail about my own political views and I think DNI lists are somewhat counterproductive, there are things with which I prefer not to engage. I am generally left-leaning, although certainly something of a moderate by Tumblr standards.

Whilst this is not a particularly NSFW blog, it is not intended for those under 18.

About my OCs

I primarily produce writing and gposes involving my two WoLs. Their stories range from slice-of-life adventures to dramatic MSQ-adjacent nonsense, and I quite like talking about their relationships and backstories, as well as general worldbuilding. They technically occupy alternate and distinct versions of the MSQ.

Mimble Sparklepudding: Dunesfolk White Mage descended from the mageocracy of Amdapor. Neutral/Chaotic Good. Enjoys helping others, showing off and generous breakfast options. Looks harmless, but is, in fact, staggeringly powerful and highly dangerous.

Humble Soapstone: Hellsguard Warrior and Blacksmith. Terrifying rage-fuelled avatar of destruction on the battlefield, but the shyest and gentlest of giants everywhere else. Lawful/Neutral Good. In the very early stages of a relationship with G'raha Tia. Looks intimidating, but is, in fact, extremely sweet and kind.

Asks, tags, and questions about them are always welcome - although it may sometimes take me a while to respond.
