Oh yeah. I guess here's a close-up of Aventurine fighting for his life.

#ratiorine a la Catherine.

Gonna do a companion piece in the style of the other cover to go along with this.
Ratio and Aventurine in the style of the Catherine Xbox cover. Ratio is posed as Katherine, face down with his butt up. Aventurine is small and scrabbling for purchase on Ratio's back. There are catcakes falling around them. The text 'Veritas' is imposed over the center on top of a pink stellar jade.

Obviously gonna do a companion piece with Ratio disappearing into Aventurine's boob window.

FFXIV #aventurine

The Golden Saucer AST weapon really is perfect for him, but wow pain for my hand. Had to miqo'te-fy him for uh.. reasons.
Drawing of Aventurine as a miqo'te from Final Fantasy XIV. He is against a starry background, holding a Golden Saucer-themed Astrologian weapon.

I KNOW THEY DELETED NOCTURNAL SECT FROM THE GAME. SHHHHH. But Neutral Sect is still an ability, so Nocturnal AST must still be a thing. Somewhere. We're just locked into Diurnal AST as players 😔

I guess Pictomancer or Summoner??? Is chalk a summon????

I wanna draw some FFXIV Ratiorine, but figuring out the appropriate jobs is hard. Well, for Ratio. Aventurine is easy (Nocturnal AST).

While Sage/Scholar are obviously the most thematically appropriate for Ratio, he doesn't heal. Also, overwriting your husband's shields is grounds for divorce.

Haven't done a proper illustration in years, and yet, Ratiorine gets me to dig out my drawing tablet. Wow. I am so rusty.

Yes, those are wedding band 'cause I need these two married NOW.

I'm just saying... if I was stupid and bigoted enough to profess my love for Charlie Kirk (gross 🤮) on the internet, my agent would fly into my inbox at supersonic speeds to smack me upside the head.

It's actually insane to me that some people feel compelled to show their whole ass on social media. SHUTTING UP IS FREE!!!!
barasaurus.bsky.social
Oh yeah. I uh. Draw sometimes too I guess.

ratiorine obsession continues...

The relationship between a healer and their party members...

Anyone who's ever healed in an mmo or team-based game will understand.

(yes, personality-wise Aventurine is probably the gremlin on a leash, but the suffering of a healer is real, and he deserves to hold Ratio's leash ok)
Ratio and Aventurine from Honkai Star Rail drawn as the "gremlin on a leash" meme, with Ratio being the gremlin on the leash, while Aventurine holds the leash.

The pining is off the charts in this one. My god.

I am horribly ill, but nothing can stop these little gremlin fingers from tapping out Ratiorine romcom nonsense.

Ratio arriving to the family reunion with his new "fiancé" only to be immediately exposed 😔

(Yes. It's loosely based on The Proposal. Yes. It's incredibly silly.)
Fic excerpt as follows:

“So, blonds, huh?” Aventurine asks the moment Ratio shuts the door behind them.

Ratio takes one look at him, sees the toothy grin stretched across his face, and says, with the long-suffering exhaustion of a very put-upon man, “I’m going to go take a bath.”

I have a guarantee for both him and his cone.

Also me: Hm... Figure skater Phainon and hockey player Mydei... 🤔

In retrospect, I should've probably come up with a name instead of just calling this guy SHITHEAD COUNCIL ELDER throughout my outline.
