In other news nobody cared about, I am an elezen for a month. Behold, Rynia if her mum wasn't a Hyur.

I was put up to it by my friends as I have two fantasias and never change.

My legs go on for DAYS

Happy birthday to Adelle! Nine years ago she had no idea what she wanted to do. She just wanted to help, and be a bystander in the stories of others. I made her on my birthday, after finally being able to leave my ex husband. My freedom was her freedom.

She still means freedom to me.

Maybe she always will?

—for birthday shenanigans

Hello! Hi!

So, here's the deal: for a lot of different reasons, I have been unsubbed from FFXIV since June last year. Which means that I haven't seen my WoL Aureia in a very, very long time, and I also haven't played around in gpose for an equally long time. And I miss it!

My birthday is at the end of the month 🥳, and I was thinking that it would be fun to do a gpose for art trade.

I am a very new artist, but I like drawing other people's OCs for practice and for fun. You can see some of my art here. I am going to offer colour busts, something along the lines of my galaxy hair series. ✨

I'm still developing a style, so don't expect it to be exactly like this, but it's the vein of what I can currently do.

—Let's Trade!

Open to anyone, it doesn't matter to me if we're mutuals or not 💖

Message me via DM or an ask. My tumblr DMs only allow messages from blogs I follow to keep spam out, so if you can't reach me that way, send me an ask! You must be off anon so I know who you are. You can also DM me through Discord, if you have mine. Alternatively, if none of these work, reply to this post and I'll contact you!

I will send you the link to a folder with Aureia's .chara file and the single mod necessary to make her her (she's half-elezen/half-Midlander, so she needs her ears!)

Make whatever you would like! I am really easy going, I don't mind folks messing around with my OCs. This is her gpose tag for her general vibe, as well as her character tag and my fanfic tag.

Send me your WoL or FFXIV OC's gpose tag, and a couple good screenshots for refs. Something with neutral lighting is ideal, just so I can get their hair colour and skin tone right! If you have Hrothgar OC, I'm sorry but I probably won't be able to draw them since that's outside my skill level right now.

No Dawntrail spoilers, locations or gear please! I haven't played the expac yet and I'd like to stay surprised for when I do play it.

Aureia's usual vanilla hairstyles are Head Hound (Hilda's hair), the Bold and the Braid, and Great Lengths. I'm 100% open to modded hairstyles, too, if you have something that you think would suit her!

If you want to throw other mods on her, go for it! I have no idea what is current in the mod scene, and I'm very easy going about sticking her in different things.

We'll share what we've made during my birthday week, which is June 22 to June 28! 🎉

Post yours and make sure to tag me in it! 🩷

I will post my half of the trade and tag you in it! 💜

If you have any questions or would like to trade, please message me!✨🖤

Rhea, Lady of the Elemental Spirits and holder of the seat of Azem.

Light-hearted and kind-spirited with a streak of whimsy a mile wide matched only by her wilful stubbornness, Rhea was a thorn in the side of just about every Amaurotine at some point. But nobody could hold her strange views and stranger antics against her due to her gentle smile and uncanny tendency to always come out on top.

Adrasteia, Justice of the Law.

Long-suffering right hand of Pashtarot and chief justice, a fierce believer in the order of the world. Calm, collected but severe, Adrasteia became an unlikely friend of their wayward Azem after multiple times dragging Rhea back from whatever adventure she had escaped on.

They're best friends, your honour.

Been firming up the Rynia-verse. Elyrié Meielle was Rynia's mother, who died of a protracted illness when Rynia was just seven years old. A much-loved figure around Gridania, Elyrié often did odd jobs but mainly worked as a cleaner at the Carline Caonpy.

Though she was known for her gentle nature and warm smile, Elyrié was a vivacious woman who was always teasing her long-suffering husband Torriaux.

Bonus impossible picture of Rynia and Elyrié at approximately the same age.

Ah, but my lady, what better a place for a late-night rendezvous than a dark tavern? All the best adventures start in such places.

Laurent de Haillenarte, incorrigible playboy, banned from most taverns in Ishgard, menace to the House. Phantom thief for kicks.

Can and will steal your girl. And your gil. Plus anything valuable not nailed down.

Half-brother of the Warrior of Light and not afraid to use that fact to his advantage.

I've decided I'm going to perform Tomorrow and Tomorrow at our choir concert in July.

Am bricking it but I want to challenge myself to perform a song that means so much to me in front of literal strangers who will have never heard it before and have no context for it.

Register for Duty?

I'm sorry, your honour, she's just so pretty I can't even.

This is true, and you know it. Bonus for the fact that astro and machinist could swap and it'd still be valid.

Finished the Rynia wall of emotions. Colours are all over the place though, but that's what I get for being lazy and taking candid cutscene screenshots.

Shocked Pikachu face Rynia, my beloved

Fear the hastily slapped together mood board of Rynia being an adorable, stunned dumbass.
