Aster's Pinned Post 📍

This blog will mainly consist of FFXIV, with a smattering of whatever else I come across that I find helpful, funny, cute, or otherwise like. I will tag any content that contains spoilers for the Shadowbringers or Endwalker expansions and their associated content. I try to tag Stormblood spoilers too if major, but smaller ones might slip through since it's older.

I take both art and writing commissions. Please DM me if you are interested. Payments are through PayPal upon approval of the draft watermarked version. A pricing guide is below:

---

Aster Aethersong

Warrior of Light, Stealer of Pants

Veena, Viera

White Mage (also varying degrees of competency in other jobs)

Omnigatherer and omnicrafter

Nameday: 15th Sun of the 3rd Astral Moon

Guardian: Nald'thal, the Traders

Hopelessly in love with G'raha Tia

Aster doesn't have a canon that diverges from the content of the MSQ. Anything I do write or draw with him that does diverge is considered a 'what-if' scenario in my mind.

References image post for Aster: link

Asks for Aster will be tagged with #ask #asks and #headcanon, and will have an accompanying image (SFW or 'after dark' NSFW):

You are also welcome to send asks to me as blog owner as well!

I write and draw as well as gpose!

Art is tagged under #my art

I can be found on AO3 as WingedAsarath

I chronicle Aster's journey as the Warrior of Light on YouTube under The Journey of Aster Aethersong: link

I also record all seasonal events in FFXIV to archive them. I've been consistent from around 2021 onwards, but there are some from 2019 and 2020 in the playlist too: link

Endwalker Trailer but with Aster:

best feeling in the world is when you draw something and you’re so proud of it you have to stop and stare at it every few minutes to remind yourself of its beauty like narcissus with his reflection in the pond

[she-ramen]

the she-ra reboot makes this video relevant again which means we are in the best timeline

[she-ramen]

the kids these days dont know this masterpiece…they will learn

[logan-exe]

the Masters of the Universe remake makes this video relevant again which means we are in the best timeline

in happier pride news i actually found this deeply heartwarming

that's solidarity baybeeee

[lgbtlaughs]

Further context: Durham city council (Reform UK) cut funding and support for Pride. The Durham Miner's Association and other trade unions raised enough money for Durham Pride 2026 to go ahead - a direct call back to when Lesbian and Gays Support the Miners (LGSM) raised money for mining communities when Margaret Thatcher seized union funding during the miner strikes of 1984-85.

At the 1985 Labour party meet, the motion to support LGBT rights as a party was passed due to a block vote from mining unions.

Stephen Guy, the chair of the Durham Miners’ Association, said that when it became apparent Durham Pride was under threat, he took it upon himself to “encourage the trade union movement to step up and do the right thing, and stand shoulder to shoulder with the LGBT+ community […] They not only raised funds for us, but came to our communities, uplifted our spirits when they were down, and showed their solidarity.”

Bear religion probably fucking rocks. You're a fucking bear, you're the deadliest thing on earth, once a year an endless supply of salmon just flings itself up the river to gorge on and then you nap for 3 months.

[phaeton-flier]

The most delicious food in the world is protected by tiny demons who can defend it from everyone except you. Your natural armor is thick enough that you can just eat the damn hive while they buzz around you. God's chosen animals right there

Regular bears tell stories of angel bears sent by the Bear God, pure white and twice as strong as any normal bear could be, who rule the summit of the Earth and kill all who stand in their path.

And they are right, those bears exist and totally do that. Humans just have fake angels as a cope.

[theabigailthorn]

love the idea of bears being the chosen species actually. having a near death experience and glimpsing heaven and realising it's just full of bears, no humans at all, humans not ensouled actually, humans an accidental byproduct of God's plan for bears

So, apparently *checks notes* 'there's fewer and fewer gay shippers'? Well then how about an innocent ol poll. You know...a nice little poll that has nothing to do with anything. Just a funny little census...

Do you have at least one gay ship in your armada of ships?

Yep

Nope

Remaining time: 6 days 20 hours

,,,sorry I haven't checked back on shipping terminology since circa 2014. A giant fleet of ships is still called a fandom armada right?

[gatesofminrathous]

there will never be anything as funny as the mutual disbelief between long form and short form fic writers about each other's style.

short form writers look at people writing 100k+ fics as though this is some sort of talent given as part of a fae bargain, that the commitment required shows some sort of ungodly mental fortitude.

meanwhile long form writers look at people writing 1000 word one shots like god I would cut off my left nipple to be able to say anything concisely. i would love to play with multiple ideas. free me from the shackles of this child I have birthed. i love them but I now must take them to t-ball and doctor's appointments and they're going to destroy everything I own.

A once-in-a-lifetime shot — the moon perfectly framed by a rainbow. Caught at just the right time. 🌈 🌕

sorry but this video is like a parasitic species to me

WONDERFUL news bestie

[godlessondheimite]

In 2026, the chicest thing a gay actor can do is never explicitly come out as gay but also make it abundantly clear that he is. Coming out is too modern. Staying closeted is too old fashioned. But this method merges contemporary freedom with Old Hollywood glamour and allure, and it weeds out the dumbest people who truly don’t get it. I call it the Pascal Method.

[nobodys-odyssey]

Taylor Swift does this

[godlessondheimite]

no she doesn’t

[nobodys-odyssey]

You clearly don't go here or to queer history and signaling, or both, enough to have this conversation and I'm not going to explain it to you. You could have asked questions, you could have done even a modicum of research. You didn't and you made yourself look ignorant. Goodbye.

[fuckrozanov]

the worst writing crime you can ever commit in my opinion is watering down the dirty talk because you’re self-conscious that it sounds like it’s from a bad porno…..i cannot stress this enough……leave it alone. the moment you tell yourself he would not fucking say that you’re doomed. people will say almost anything if their dick is hard enough

When I was in college, my Stage Craft teacher showed us this.  Basically the machine heats up a sheet of plastic, and once it’s malleable enough it’ll be blown up to make room for whatever you want to imprint in the plastic.  Once it’s in place, the air reverses and the plastic vacuum-sucks all around the object.  

He demonstrated it on a baby doll and it was like a baby had been frozen in carbonite.  I got to take it home and I still have frozen-carbonite-baby to this day (his name is Franklin XD)
