Intro Post

My content:
-Drow OCs brought into FFXIV
-Occasional shirtless male Duskwight
-Possible suggestive content (flagged)
-Non-Explicit

I curate my online spaces. I may not always follow back and I may block certain content. That's on me.

Questions or WCIF - please DM!
Two male Duskwight Elezen standing with a grey stone wall in the background. 
The one on the left appears shorter and is standing closer to the camera. He has long white hair and wears a black mask over his nose and mouth. His eyes are crimson red. He's wearing flowing black attire that appears fitted at the waist, armored arm guards, and he's holding up a short bladed weapon in a defensive position towards the camera. 
Behind him and to the right is a taller Duskwight. He has short white hair and wears a black and silver circlet. His head is tilted to the side and he appears to be smirking. He's wearing heavy plate armor that has a layered and wicked looking pointed design. It's difficult to tell at a distance but his eyes are an icy blue. He's resting an armored hand on the other's shoulder as if to hold him back.

Since it's patch day, everyone can see Durafein's (eventual lol) Daughter, as a treat.

#GPOSERS | #Drow | #Duskwight | #Elezen
A female Drow with grey skin that has warm undertones. Her eyes are a striking teal green and her cheeks have dark freckles. Her pointed ears are a mid-length compared to other elezen, and she's wearing a black sleeveless top with ornate embroidery and matching sleeves. Black shorts lace up in the front and there's a glimpse of a tall boot at her thigh. Her hands are on her hips and she's giving the camera a cocky smirk.

🎶🎵 This is my Island in the sun🎵🎶

(seriously tho don't sleep on islands)
Screenshot of an FFXIV log that reads: "You obtain an island adenium whistle. You obtain an island Peerifool whistle. You obtain 5 fieldcrackers. You obtain a pot of general-purpose jet black dye."

And if I can't have everything
Well, then, just give me a taste

A closeup portrait of two drow. The male in the foreground has grey skin and short white hair with bright cerulean blue eyes and long pointed ears. The female behind him has darker grey skin, bright crimson red eyes, and long white hair. She's gripping his chin and tilting his head towards her, she's leaning towards him with her lips parted and her eyes narrowed, glancing at him as if she's suggesting something to him.

Sorry taking a brief creative break to write...
*Checks notes*
Warforged smut...

Oh yeah and... Durafein has a daughter (and a son, she has a twin brother who is definitely my backup character)

He undoubtedly sired children while serving his noble house but he had a pair of twins he actually helped raise about a century after the fall
A photo of a mini figure holding a dark bow and shrouded in dark grey and black with a hood and a mask over the lower half of her face. The mini is sitting on a tablet screen of her character sheet next to a portrait of a half-drow with light grey skin, freckles, and teal green eyes. Her name is listed as "Aleniyah" and she's level 6

Sitting at the D&D table next to the man who originally played Durafein.

Durafein's player- "I feel lied to."
NPC- "half truths and omissions are not lies."

Which is WORD-FOR-WORD a conversation my character had with Durafein at our previous table.

NOW YOU SEE HOW IT FEELS
AHHHHHHHHHHH

If you shake a jar of ants, the ants will start to flail and attack, believing the issue is the other ants, rather than the person shaking the jar.

Always ask yourself who may be shaking the jar.

"What character changed your brain chemistry?" and it's my own OCs
drowxiv.bsky.social
Yeah I'm 50/50 buying confirmed and buying mystery. I only have like 6 and 2 of those are the TV UFdollls & I didn't care which ones I got.

I KINDA give them a pass because they make full sets available (but I've got feelings on that too)

Squenix saying they can't guarantee a full set is 😒
drowxiv.bsky.social
I think what really irks me is - I'm into blind box BJDs and whenever a series comes out not only can you buy the whole set (guaranteed one of each character) you also usually get pre-order bonuses and bonus characters.

So for them to say "We can't guarantee" No, no, you CHOSE not to, Squenix.

Noted! Also PS I'm flattered you like my OCs given your pickiness! It's an honor! <3

Ah so you're saying I SHOULD Post the page-long rant about Drow "consent" I made at like 4am over the weekend and then immediately hid because I was like "absolutely nobody will ever read this - this is unhinged"
drowxiv.bsky.social
Ack I forgot I "tag talked" this on Tumblr but I don't do that here - the background was replaced with a stock photo that I manipulated to fit. It's a super boring PSD honestly but I'll post a screenshot if people have any questions!

Lost in surrender

#GPOSERS | #Drow | #Duskwight | #Elezen
A male drow with long white hair, dark grey skin, and red eyes laying on a red velvet blanket. Multiple hands from off-camera are touching his chin, chest, and hips. Another hand is holding his wrist above his head. His lips are slightly parted as if he's breathing more heavily and his eyes are heavily lidded.

Viedyn is bold enough to gently move a spider out of his way. Durafein is (secretly) too paranoid and will ignore the spider instead.

This does have the added benefit of meaning they rarely ever come across any other types of pests because the spiders are eating them all.
drowxiv.bsky.social
Funfact - spiders are a sacred symbol to the Drow. Despite not really being religious, both Durafein & Viedyn will leave spiders alone.

In FR Lore the gods exist in a very literal sense, so for Durafein & Viedyn it's not worth the risk of potentially crossing one of Lolth's messengers.

oh no! an itty bitty bug! a little critter! right there, on the wall! it's not going anywhere! does your OC:
- leave it
- kill it
- take it outside
- ???

for the sake of the question, assume the bug is NOT a nightmarish abomination that would send anyone but an entomologist running.

Dealing with the hyper religious people I used to be around in Florida is one reason I relate so well to the Drow & put OCs in that setting.

Oh a priestess is threatening to send you to Lolth because she doesn't think you prayed hard enough?

Been there, dude.
drowxiv.bsky.social
Yep and I think that's manufactured.
Why concern yourself with doing a "good" job when you can just emotionally manipulate people into giving you millions of dollars then play golf and hook all your shady friends up?
& when you're drowning in scandals just emotionally manipulate as a distraction 🤌🏻

All I'm saying is - you don't see me in target screaming "THAT'S MY CASHIER! MY CASHIER IS BETTER THAN YOURS!" while wearing a shirt with the cashier's face
Politicians are people HIRED to do a JOB and it's odd to treat them as anything else
I think the blurred line is intentional & nefarious

Literally yelled "I wish the rapture would come so I can have some f-ing peace." last week during a conversation about this lol

I grew up around religious people and I started noticing the hypocrisy and hate early

Jesus would braid a whip and drive them out of church for the rancid shit they do

"The organization needs a martyr. How do you find a martyr?

You do not find one, Mr. Vollmer. You choose one.

You take one of no value, and you make him into a symbol. You wrap him in a flag, and you make his death work for you."

Yeah it irks me. If it's especially long or info-dump-y type dialogue I've also found that without descriptors I'll lose track of whose talking.

That can really mess with my whole reading experience since I picture what I'm reading super vividly.

Restricting the expression of sexuality through fiction and art made by adults, for adults – including those you find personally disturbing or offputting – is conservative censorship, full stop. When that censorship disproportionately affects subgroups, that's also discrimination. For shame.

The bad news keep coming

These go into effect Oct 15th
D. Adult Content: We provide a safe space for consensual adult expression by requiring clear consent and stopping abuse.

i. We allow consensual adult sexual content, including fictional depictions, when appropriately labeled and subject to appropriate age restrictions.

ii. We do not allow sexual content involving non- consensual activity including synthetic, simulated, illustrated, or animated versions.
drowxiv.bsky.social
Or literally enthusiastic but rough sex. Like how do you determine if the ILLUSTRATED "rough sex" was consensual?!

This just seems like banning adult content with extra steps lol. All they have to say is "The illustration didn't stare directly at the audience and say "I CONSENT" so it's non con.

HAPPY FRIDAY!
Posting this early (with permission) because everyone needs to see it right now.

Sort of a "surprise comm" from @lunareth.bsky.social I only knew it was going to be Durafein! ^_^

She always draws his hair extra long and I always let her cuz it's gorgeous
A black and white drawing of a male with pointed ears with his arms over his head as if he's lazily stretching. His body appears lighter against a jet black starry sky. Long strands of hair are tucked behind one ear and fall over his muscled shoulders. The ridges of his abs are defined, flexed by his body stretch and the Adonis lines above his hips dip low, disappearing behind the artists watermark.
