Happiest of namedays, dear Kelly of @fourteenthz fame!! For your gala, I provide two handsome people all dressed up in regal white.

Your presence in this community is just so full of warmth and unbridled excitement, and I live for your tags on my gposes. Your joy is something I really think is very precious as the world gets more cynical. I've always appreciated how attentive you are towards the details I put into my works, and how kind you've been towards me. I hope your birthday celebrations go well today, and know that I'm sending you many /dotes from afar <3

[[Mayqo'te Day 21 – Free Day Gothic]]

[[Mazeh'a – he/they]]

What grand timing-- fashionably late for the gorgeously gothic @avampyone's birthday and fashionably early for World Goth Day! It would not be fitting for Mazeh'a to miss either of these events.

[[Mayqo'te Day 01 – Today]]

[[Mazeh'a – he/they]]

Today, like most days when he's not immediately needed by his light party or the Scions, Mazeh'a can be found reading in his apartment. Hours will pass until 'today' becomes 'tomorrow' but there's nothing he loves more than sitting down with a thick tome and getting further in his research.

The best description I have for him is from Miqomarch last year, if you want to know more about him!

XIV Hearts Ablaze

DAY 01: Flowers + Dance + “You look beautiful...”

A slow but unwavering dance of sensations, Two hearts meeting amidst a trail of rose petals, Three simple and sweet words...

Alaqa belongs to @expedienceffxiv <3

XIV Heatwave Festival: July 01

Heatwave + Melting + "It's too hot..." Ravnur is pretty hardy against the heat but even he will seek the comfort of shade when it's simply too hot to function. Mazeh'a will do the same, but also make it everyone else's problem.

[[Mayqo'te Day 07 – Free Day Favourite Glamour]]

[[Mazeh'a – he/they]]

Dark fabrics with metal accents, lace, or trains are what one can expect on Mazeh'a if he's in public. Sometimes he wears glass lenses on his face, and sometimes he infuses the surface of his eyes with aetheric lenses that shimmer in the right lighting. Regardless of what he chooses to wear for the day, he cuts a striking image of gothic genderfluidity next to his companions.

[[Mayqo'te Day 31 – Tomorrow]]

[[Mazeh'a – he/they]]

Mazeh'a is often surrounded by people who focus more on yesterdays and todays while they deal with tomorrows. Alaqa is a brilliant tactician but has all of the self-control of a hungry nutkin when it comes to spending. Tova’s strange proficiency with Triple Triad card-counting is the closest he gets to mathematics. Ravnur simply cannot be bothered to learn beyond the basics, though they find it difficult to blame him with the unique burdens he carries. Whether it's cooking nutritious meals during camp, dealing with the mathematics of wealth, or ensuring everyone can actually complete their activities for the next week, Mazeh'a takes care of their chosen family in the best way they can.

Thank you for supporting me throughout this month!

GPOSE Wrapped 2025

Jan Feb Mar Apr May Jun Jul Aug Sept Oct Nov Dec

Some honourable mentions that couldn't fit into this list:

March: x x April: x x x June: x x x August: x November: x x x

This year started with the biggest crunch of my degree, with my internship and thesis starting while still in full-time classes. My physical and mental health tanked under the constant stress, and it was rough for a while. I can tell which months were easier on me by looking at these gposes, but I'm happy to see how much I've accomplished despite it all.

In a very rare moment of self-congratulation: I feel like I killed it this November. Roevember helped a lot, but even the ones I made outside of it are some of the best I've done in years (there was a tangible shift in my brain the moment my degree loosened its claws ngl lmfao)

I had many collabs and joyful in-game moments throughout the year too. I'm very grateful for the community here for keeping me connected to my creativity with your kind words, tags, and encouragements. Even the smallest comment made a massive difference to me throughout the year, so thank you <3
