We're going to be annoying(ly positive) as we post constant reminders about our Twitch channel that will be streaming panels for those unable to join us in-person. Feel free to have your own watch parties during the weekend! www.twitch.tv/gatewayfate

tentative cosplay plans for @gatewayfate.bsky.social this coming weekend. honestly im not sure if im actually gonna bring alisaie or not but i probably will, if not the full cosplay then at least a casual fit considering she's the only other cosplay i have

cosplay lineup chart for gateway fate, a con dedicated to ffxiv/related titles. the text on the top header says "cosplay lineup" while the bottom text says "gateway fate, oct 18 & 19, 2025". in between the top and bottom headers are two boxes for the cosplays, with the left box representing saturday and the right box representing sunday. alisaie leveilleur from final fantasy 14 (endwalker outfit) is in the left box. cait sith from final fantasy 7 rebirth is in the right box.
