Payton Dreifus - Arlessia & Friends Gposing symposium
@dreifusmontauc.bsky.social
Welcome. I am Payton, and I Gpose & Write for my FFXIV Warrior of Light, Arlessia 'Blessed-Eye' Sharpe & other OCs of mine.
I write long form, seek innovation on my work always, and also talk about my life as a wife & mother.
*18+/Minors DNI*
~Good vibes~

Welcome, welcome! If you're new to my works, I cannot recommend anything else more than checking out my Carrd for my fic.

You'll find a short excerpt on me, a bio & ARR recap for Arlessia, bios for my other OCs, a link to my Twitter & a repository of my written chapters.

Whispers in silvered gloam, dancing steel upon the wind.
This is where you can find links to every chapter of my FFXIV fic as I write them.

ICMYI:

Making my first runback to lore-making for my XIV Fic, I made this thread to summarize all my planned narrative tweaks, posing insights & headcanons I had for the Azim Steppe up until Yanxia Pt.2

It's long & not all accompanied by poses, but I hope you enjoy reading~💙💚
Taking the first Steppe to summarizing my XIV lore in a new & revised method...I must rewind the tape from last we saw my OCs...to where I had left off.

Tasked with surveying the Dotharl, Arlessia & Gosetsu await their weapons being returned to them.

Before heading to bed I've spent some time looking through the post thread to make sure everything made it through the upload process & it would seem these three shots after Torfan is slain & Sama has her outburst were either missed or eaten.

I am squonking just seeing them together like this T~T💙💚

Hey~💙💚
Eesh, last post on June 7th? I let things go on here for a while huh?

All honesty, our court battle took a lot of time & effort to work through...by the end of it I felt nearly alienated from regular life so I kinda forgot about posing & whatnot to focus on my family.

Felt the compelled to pose MC today before court.
Our suit against the scummy realtor who fucked us over last November has been why I've been so quiet this last month+ & it's already proven to be lengthy.

Feels good to be able to play a bit now on/off ~ I missed XIV ngl 😊💙💚

I spent some time as Moonie Miqo'te on my main whilst playing 7.2, but it felt weird so I decided to use my last free fanta to give middie a try. GOSH SHE PROTY. (Also I love this pld glam I cooked up)

Áine's been slowly on the mend & so I finally got some time to play through the new patch today whilst she was able to sleep 💙💚

Won't go full depth, but I headcanon'd a lot of what was going to happen this patch, and I'm SO happy.

Also yes hello Trial 4. You may step on me.

Hey...Been a minute, I know.
Had to take an extended break from online activity due to some extreme circumstances & a bit of burnout w/ posing.
Our daughter got very sick around the time I last posted last month, and we honestly feared the worst. She's getting better though💙💚

The way things are looking from what we've been told by the CCI in charge of our case, the person actually responsible for our home break-in & stealing our valuables are in the wind.

Honestly? Quite disappointing, even if they are a purported associate of a local gang.

I may be essentially irrelevant in the XIV community on Twitter past a few certain people, but this whole Gposers getting struck down for "inauthentic" accounts kinda has me chuckling nervously.

Because, sure, w/e dead site...but in reality most of the below number has been years of my work.

It is -32c (Help us), so I bring new WiPs💙💚.

These shots are post Gosetsu confession, and Arlessia joins both men for a few more drinks before Yugiri approaches, informing Hien that the assault commanders are assembled. Lighting up, he then asks Arlessia to join the briefing.

Feeling incredibly emotional today thinking about this shot I took last weekend of the lesbian lizzer fucker herself ~ My baby gorl 💙💚

Next weekend I'll be posing out one of the major parts of the summary of her SB story w/ the wrapping up of Yanxia & Doma Castle. I'm excited~

Went and got some posing done today as I'm finally starting to feel the sick I've been fighting being broken enough for me to stay awake most of the day.

Today's teaser?

A surprise awaits the Doman Liberation Front right as Arlessia, Lu & Hien return from Monzen.

Well, managed to creakily make it to my pc today with my tea, and found out that it turns out the latest update to XIV busted the gloves for Arlessia's 4.0 outfit.

Not the whole mod, just the gloves. It's no matter, I can ofc just change them & hope nobody minds it - just damn.

The way our mind can just torture us when we're sick is brutal.

The combonation of medications & herbal teas I'm on currently knocked me tf out earlier, and I just woke up a few minutes ago hallucinating that my dad was singing my favourite song to me...and now I'm on the verge of crying ;A;

*Emerges out of cocoon of deathly sick w/ strep throat AND covid, not knowing what year it is*

Happy new year gamers💙💚

If this turns out to be a comprehensible post you can 100% blame that on auto-correct cause I am ZOOOUOTED

Thinking back, I'd have to say of my progression in posing & editing skill, currently it's my take on the Xaela genesis myth that we're told on the Dawn Throne.

It really was a challenge to get visually, but once I had it in front of me I knew this was it.

(gonna put the rest w/ alt txt below)

As an Imagine Dragons hater I really must concede that their newest song w/ Ado is one hell of a vibe.

'Take me to the beach' has been on a loose repeat in youtube music mixes I've been listening to, and I'm not getting tired of it in any way. 💙💚

For the most part, I've been able to re-up all the mods I had installed pretty easily since I backed up my penumbra modpath folder, now all I gotta do tomorrow is tweak my reshade preset back to my norm once again & I can get back to posing my summary.

I can go to bed content 😌💙💚

Now for the best part of the holidays:

Making breakfast sandwiches with turkey meat now that the Leftovers buff has kicked in, increasing deliciousness by a percentage of 50%

I'm a dark meat enjoyer, myself~~ 😋💙💚

Áine was SO EXCITED when unwrapping our gifts this morning, I daresay we managed to sufficiently instil the spirit of the holiday ☺️ it tuckered her right out💙💚

So the wife & I have been playing Marvel Rivals whilst she has a nap - I see why everyone's been talking about it~
