I got a very lovely message about these so I thought I'd repost them. I made these back in 2019 straight out of the MSQ because I needed to express myself badly. These are free and free to use! It always makes me happy to see them out in the wild. 🥰

that’s okay i meant to cry anyway

But this is to misunderstand the purpose of fan fiction. Fan fiction starts with the itch of dissatisfaction, it is the art of emotional correction. When what is canon fails to deliver, the fan fiction writers step in, armed with Word documents and righteous indignation. You think this character deserved more hand-holding? Fine. Someone out there is writing 10,000 words of forehead kisses and mutual healing right now.
Because fan fiction isn't just rewriting, it's repairing. It's giving yourself the closure you need when the author won't. It's deciding that pain can end differently, that love can be louder, that characters who were doomed in print get to live this time. It's literature written by people who refused to move on and sometimes these people spell really badly (and that is completely OK).
And yes, it's rebellion. Against gatekeeping, against prestige, against the assumption that stories only count when they make money.
Fan fiction exists because readers loved something so much they refused to let it die.

Going into this year like I did last year ... Drawing Ignis.
Looking to see if I can do the sketch a day deal for an entire year, as I've never attempted it!

Day 1.

#FFXV #FFXVArt #FF15 #FinalFantasy #IgnisScientia

Ignis Scientia sketch from Final Fantasy XV post-workout looking bashful. He's holding a glass of water in one hand and a towel over his shoulder in the other.

i had to #ffxiv #finalfantasyxiv #ffxivspoilers

digital artwork of lumull and z'ahra. z'ahra's shrugging as he says, "if i had a gil for every time i destroyed a demonic monster train, i'd have 2 gil. which isn't a lot, but it's weird it happened twice."
lumull is very confused.

If you start the #FFXIV A Realm Reborn Trailer at 11:56 and 51s you can ring in the new year to Dalamud exploding.

10s countdown starts when Bahamut's wings appear.
