The Shroudrose Teahouse and Tavern is a cozy teahouse and bar located within the Lavender Beds of the Twelveswood, serving a wide array of beverages and snacks and selling their own specialty loose-leaf blends of tea.

Secrets, lies, rumors, intrigue… what is it that you are seeking, or selling, perhaps? Pay us a visit, cut a deal, and spill the tea. Or just enjoy a warm drink and some pleasant company!

A bunch of colorful carbuncles, prancing around with various Pride flags- now in a form of vinyl paper stickers (you can also find embroidered patches with them on my other listing!)

@mimble-sparklepudding kindly nudged me to post this to here.. and while I always feel awkward self-promoting, I will do so! But beyond this, I'd rather take the space to be about everyone else's creations instead! (Which means, keeping sharing your finds, or your own shops!)

Currently, I have several premade keychains, ornaments, and 'buncles, and am doing a limited-run of made-to-order pride-themed carbies! And as always, you can pick up the pattern to make your own for any price you want (even free).

Visit Win's Carbuncle Adoptions's Shop!

I've opened a shop. Come take a look!

[mightier]

Excited to announce that the new items with this summer's release are now up on the shop and listings are active! All the custom charm slots are currently sold out, but there's still lots to offer on the store!

The Make It Rain 2026

Pride Month GShade/ReShade Textures!

So, I saw a bit of post-processing that @zylphiacrowley did on one of their shots and went a little rabid. While they graciously told me what they'd done, that involved like... Photoshop.

And I am not good with Photoshop. (Or GIMP. Post-processing is my bane. ><)

However, I DO have Canva Pro, I DO like to fiddle with GShade/ReShade texture depths, and I have successfully replaced someone's AI-generated texture with one I created myself, so...

I made some Pride GShade/ReShade textures!

You'll obviously have to do the work to replace the texture in the shader of your choice in GShade/ReShade (I sacrificed one of my favorite Elva shaders to make it the Pride option.) However, here are a bunch of Pride Corner textures that you can use in GShade/ReShade or use 'em in post-processing as an overlay.

Feel free to do whatever you'd like with 'em! I did try to get as many of the most commonly used flags I knew of, but there are a lot of Pride flags, so feel free to drop me a DM/ask if there's a flag whose colors you really really want.

Happy Pride!

ffxiv extreme party interest check

Okay there was enough interest in casual learning parties for me to feel good about going forward with hosting a few.

There was so much interest in fact, that doing only one learning party at a time with a max of 7 learners (counting the host/lead as the 8th raider) doesn’t feel like enough.

So if there are any experienced raiders who want to host a learning party for whatever extreme, let me know! I will reach out to a few raiders who expressed interest in hosting on the og post.

An open call will be posted week in advance of the first learning party, along with guidelines, sources, and how to reserve a spot.

I'm inviting you all to come celebrate Arsay's nameday (aka my ffxiv anniversary) on Saturday, June 6th from 1 - 3 pm EST @ Materia, Bismark with a good 'ol Costa del Sol Beach Party!!

Come hangout, chat, draw, pose with friends, cast a line off the bloodshore, and if there's enough of us maybe queuing into some PvP??? in your best beach attire for 2 hours 🏖️

Hope to see you there!

Hey! If you're someone who creates content in the XIV space - art comms, keychains, you name it — feel free to send submissions to this page, or even link it in a comment to me! I haven't had much chance to post awesome accounts recently, and would love to keep promoting folks! I have pinned to the top of the blog what things I will/won't post (I try to keep it to out-of-game tangible creations, rather than things like in-game mods), if you're unsure!

Return of the Carbuncles...?

Hey folks.

With my car breaking down (I got it working again), the dog ending up in the ER (he's ok now!), and then waking up to my sink flooding my kitchen and cabinets (will be calling maintenance after the holiday is done) all in the span of 5 days... It's been a rough go of it.

I'm putting back out there that I still have my Ko-fi with lots of adoptable carbuncles — regular size, keychain size, and ornaments, if you so desire! I'm also happy to make some fellas in alternate colors, as I'll be going to a craft swap this weekend and can look out for any yarns people may want.

Or... If you don't want a carbuncle, I'm more than happy to send a thank you video of Angelo (or Chell the cat!), or heck, even write you a short fic or make terrible art of your OCs! If you have pixel art of your character, I can also turn it into (limited) perler bead art, too and send it your way! (Please message me first on these, so I know!)

Also note that I am FULLY ABLE to cover my current rent and other must-need bills with my regular job, I'm just hoping to ease a little pressure off the building credit card debt. I will not be starving or homeless, so please do not feel obligated to do anything.

Please, please, feel free to reach out if there's anything special you'd like!

It's almost time! With a new host and a (slightly) new look, it's still the same old WoLyse week we all know and love.

So, how is this gonna work? Great question! Same as in previous years, but with a few extra things to help me promote your work. First up, I've created a feed for WoLyse Week 2026 over on Bluesky so everyone who tags their posts will have it show up there.

Second, I've also created a Collection over on AO3 for the fanfic writers! All you have to do is add your fics to it and they'll show up there for all to enjoy. Hopefully. I've, uh… never done an AO3 collection before, so bear with me.

An Archive of Our Own, a project of the Organization for Transformative Works

Fanfic, gposing, art, anything goes as long as it involves our favourite Ala Mhigan liberator in love! Hope to see you all in July!

[hanseelie]

Commissions are now open!

I'm launching spring themed YCH comms on Vgen! All options are full color with adjustable body types. I've also added a few slots for custom illustrations.

Looking for other ways to support me? You can find me on ko-fi. Feel free to send me a DM here with any questions!

💜 Reblogs are appreciated, thank you!💜

[hanseelie]

I got a car repair bill from hell today so I'm boosting this again! Still have a few slots for this particular couple YCH, and they'll be available till the end of the month.
