#landsmaiden ; #gposers

sumire (she/they) embracing the true form of the beginning of her family line, tamamo gozen. though the two have never met, sumire embraces her regardless of fang and claw - as she would wish for her family to do for her in return. the auspice, though poised in threat, does not seem toe wish harm upon the child.

sumire's lips are parted - perhaps in speech, or in prayer. perhaps in song.

it is only for the two of them, either way.

#silmire ; #landsmaiden ; #gposers

sumire (she/they) and silas (he/him) in an embrace. silas has lifted sumire so he can kiss their back and shoulders, eyes closed so he can drink her in. maybe he's just come home - or maybe he just walked by her. sumire is smiling, amused at the attention. as always.

a photo showing just how high silas is lifting them - shot through the paired music box on their entryway table. a gift from their wedding day - a portrait of their time together.

“N’aaja… It’s time…” 💔☀️☁️

LORE in ALT TEXT

#HidakaLore | #N’aajaHidaka

Pictured above is N’aaja, Warrior of Light, the birth mother of N’ami Hidaka. N’aaja has been summoned by The Crystal Exarch to assist the scions in what would be the halt of the calamity alongside restoring balance of light and dark in the first.

To due so, she must leave something behind. She must sacrifice, which she’s unwilling to do at first. But if it means safety for Eorzea, for the world… for her little one, she must.

“The Sun of The Steppe” was her moniker. And to follow her, her very own moon incarnate, N’ami Hidaka.

The community has always reduced my characters to stereotypes. Always. And I’m going to be so real, i hardly feel like sharing her lore openly. Because this always happens to me.

cloud 🧡☁︎｡ ⋆｡ﾟ☀︎ @ 7.1 @cloud-ra.bsky.social · 12h

i will never ever tell someone how they should make art. i will never sit here and say one is better than the other. especially with censorship trying to quite literally dismantle our creativity.

but -I- want to share her lore. I DO.

cloud 🧡☁︎｡ ⋆｡ﾟ☀︎ @ 7.1 @cloud-ra.bsky.social · 12h

this is exactly why i refrained from sharing her lore in the first place. i want to dig so much deeper into her, and when she’s reduced to black mommy catte it actually hurts.

please don’t do that shit to me.

follow someone else for that.

"amnesia" ; took an hour to write six small vignettes regarding almire's past ; some of the things he does not remember. six sentences each, save for the last. quick, unpolished.

Truth to its core. Both with OCs and just IRL to be so for real. Just say you hate the way I look and go on.

OR

Just say you mad. Just be salty. That works too.

“You’re trans masc? With that ass?”

Why yes. Why yes I am.

🙂‍↕️🙂‍↕️🙂‍↕️🙂‍↕️🙂‍↕️ im over it.

Sorry Barbara. I’m trans masc and my measurements DO NOT reflect ‘androgyny’ or masculine in the SLIGHTEST to the ‘norm’ they expect.

Like this rhetoric gives 8.5x11 and I have NO patience for it.
