To my like… 5-10 regular followers, and anyone who’s new or stumbles across this- hi! I’m Josh, and I play Anshelm Shale in FFXIV on the Crystal DC.

I’m slowly gonna be adding more content here, including an updated card, a pinned post, etc- but feel free to peruse what is here already to get a general gist of the character; major story beats or vibes aren’t changing, and this blog was mostly just a repository for aesthetic posts, gposes, and inspiration.

Thanks for reading!

honestly I really do wish we got to gossip with like any of the Garlean characters who would have had a chance to meet Solus about Emet-Selch. like I want to ask Gaius if he did the gay little wave when leaving meetings or councils or whatever. I wanted to ask Quintus this and revel in his confusion about how this random catman would have known about the gay little wave.

Like I know Solus did it. It’s not a question of whether he did or didn’t, because he certainly did. I just want the stuffy stoic military hardasses to have to ask “wait how do you know about the gay little wave”

Alchemical-cosmological diagrams from the book Alchemical Notes (Mellon MS 45, ca. 1610), Yale University Library.

Such diagrams were used by alchemists to explain the relationship between the macrocosm (the heavens) and the microcosm (the human being).

There is no moral.

The wolf eats you one day,

And until it does,

The forest is beautiful

Ashen's Autumnal Abode!

Primal, Famfrit, Goblet ward 14 plot 60

Hello everyone. We spin around the sun on this wretched Etheirys one more autumnal season, and without a housing slot increase, so here I am offering a little design that I hope to expand on one day. I built tall for this one! Normally I like really tiny and cramped spaces, but this time I wanted to use as much of the atrium in a Large that I could manage, while bringing back some stairs and a hallway.

Ideally, I want a room off to the side and a bedroom on the top floor, and I built the structure in a way I can maybe add to it one day. I can also make the kitchen bigger and will renovate that.

Can you see the vision I was trying to work with? I made louvered doors with a little 'look out' on the ground floor. I made the kitchen carve out of stone as a precursor of things to come once we get more slots. There's lore in my house! This isn't copium!

Lily Hills | Large Primal | Leviathan, Lavender Beds W12 P33

Easily one of my favorite builds~! I have always loved Gridania and Lavender Beds, so this was the perfect spot to create something that fits the main city.

I used as many "Glade" furnishings as I could to really embrace the Gridania theme. As for the yard, I chose something simple to blend the house together with Lavender Beds.

P.S. Those No-entry Door Partitions were not the friendliest when floating, omg haha

wound tending is everything. unparalleled intimacy. let me care for you. let me touch the skin around your open flesh. let me stain my hands with your blood. let me get close and breathe in the same air as you and stare into your eyes for a few seconds too long. let me make you think of me every time you see the bandage, or scar

"I love you but you're doing wrong in a way I cannot condone" and "I hate you but you're being wronged in a way I cannot stomach" are top tier and I need more of them.
