#lads Master of Fate spoilers. I'm just gonna. be over here sobbing into my fresh box of tissues over here because wow. You never see Zayne's face that lit up and I realized that's before Astra broke him. My heart dropped when I realized what he was being told to do. MC left wandering with his loss.

Oh, so... Zayne's 1st myth hurts even more than what I knew about it from having my own personal half of the memory pair finished...

My face hurts. 😢 I face the other two myth stories with trepidation. Giving Astra the middle finger and posting my happy place in the form of pictures. #lads

I'm not even a Sylus main, people. Nor am I a vampire-loving type. Sylus, though. He smashes all the buttons for every button that normally goes unpushed. End of that trailer made me realize, "oh...OH. So I do love him? Because that. Really hurt me." 🥺 Revelations of a new player. #lads
Sylus in an official Love & Deepspace illustration looking very gothic, sprawled in flowing long white hair and a very vampiric white suit. The main character's hands grasp at his chest and he claps at her forearm, leaning into her flesh slightly as if to bite her. The romantic and erotic undertones are very clear in this image.

I told you I wasn't afraid. I could never hate you. I love you just the way you are."

Saturn's Love & Deepspace main character Celeste is seen on the left side of the shot in a white dress. She is leaning over Zayne, her thumb delicately placed upon his chin. She is close to him. Her hair is in a sweet ponytail, twisted upon itself into a cute style with long bangs. On the right side of the shot Zayne is dressed in his Dawnbreaker clothes, which consists of a dark suit. He wears a long wool coat with a black dark gray shirt, black tie, black trousers, and shoes, and dark jewelry. Upon their heads are diadems made of rustic metal and cut pieces of earth like quartz. They shimmer against the dark background of the photograph. From them hang long decorative chains and shimmering stones. Celeste is a lighter metal with iridescent light stones and the diadem upon Zayne's head is dark metal with transparent but black-tinged stones.

Today was awful. I am the definition of "cannot cope, off to Mordor" right now except I'm in a lot more physical pain. I've worked so hard to get this job but I'm broken.

I survived my first full day of work today. Don't know how I'm doing this, you guys. Is this what they call being healed? Where you're feeling nothing but fear, but you find yourself doing what you're doing anyway? Strange. Anyway, Zayne's event quest end made me cry, and then his post did too. 1/2
Zayne from Love and Deepspace says in a social media post, "Some things are always present such as the foreglow that lingers after the breaking dawn." My character Celeste Asteri says, "Despite the unexpected events that took place during our journey. I know we'll reach an ending without regrets." Zayne replies, "Our journey will have no regrets. As for the ending... that's something we only need to think about many years from now."

I seem to have hurt my own feelings this morning by channeling the grimdark that I'm seeing in the #lads main story - I'm just gonna eat chocolate over here, it'll be all right, right? Right. 😰
Zayne in silver-rimmed glasses, a dark shirt and tie, and a dark wool overcoat. The backdrop is nearly black to dark gray with enough light to discern Zayne's features. His face is illuminated with light, the camera facing slightly up at him, a forlorn expression upon his face. His right hand is at the knot of his tie almost self-consciously. Particles of light float by ethereally. Zayne in silver-rimmed glasses, a dark shirt and tie, dark trousers, and a dark wool overcoat. The backdrop is nearly black to dark gray with enough light to discern Zayne's features. He's seen in profile looking to the right of the shot. Points of faint light float around his solitary figure in the darkness. Zayne in silver-rimmed glasses, a dark shirt and tie, dark trousers, and a dark wool overcoat. The backdrop is nearly black to dark gray with enough light to discern Zayne's features. Seated on the floor, Zayne looks over his left shoulder with an introspective look upon his face. His left arm rests upon his bent left knee. Light illuminates the planes of his face as particles of light dance in the dark. Zayne in silver-rimmed glasses, a dark shirt and tie, and a dark wool overcoat. The backdrop is complete darkness with enough light to discern Zayne's features. He looks down at a snowglobe he is holding in his left hand that contains a little boy and a little girl who are about to share a sweet, innocent kiss. Butterflies dance around them in the scene, frozen in time. The boy is holding a tiny bouquet of roses behind his back. The base of the snowglobe is inscribed with the word "happiness". Zayne observes it, his green-eyed gaze deep in thought.

They custom-made this guy for me, I suspect. They heard me coming. Tall science guy in glasses w/PTSD & a penchant for sweets? Has nigh impenetrable emotional walls because he loves you so much and has been through horrible things? I've hit the grimdark section, yes. I'm shook and only lvl 42. #lads
Zayne in a library stack holding a book. He's looking directly at the player with his usual focused, almost inscrutable expression. Sunlight pours through windows down on him, casting the shadow of a tree outside. This image is from the Love & Deepspace 5-star card "Gentle Twilight".

Most awful week in ages healthwise (don't hurt nerves, it's a bad time) so I'm sharing the thing that's kept me sane and eaten my brain in an extremely short amount of time.
My profile title is now "Zayne's Aurora" to let you know how things are going. I thought I was too queer for this game. Ha.
Zayne and my character Celeste are both dressed in blue, him standing behind her and holding her arm out with his left arm to one side as if they are to dance. He gently supports her hip, guiding her. Celeste looks up at him as they physically connect. Their blue clothes contrast with the lavender backdrop. Zayne in his music fest outfit standing arms folded and looking to the left of the shot against a blue background. A special effect of blue triangles float past Zayne's figure. The lighting highlights him in a hot pink accent. Celeste facing the camera, holding Zayne's face in her hands with a little playful expression. Zayne looks as if he would like his face back now, please and thank you. A cute image. A collage of Zayne in his music festival dance outfit in various poses showing off his close-up expression, clothing details, and two other serious poses. In one, he looks thoughtful, his hand to his chin and other arm bent with his hand at his hip. In the other, he stands with a pool cue and ball, respectively, a focused, dispassionate expression looking to his left. All images have a blue backdrop.

Despite happy news yesterday I've been laid up w/something painful that's required complete rest (I'll spare details in public at least) so guess what I found myself dwnloading this weekend? 😂 Been entertaining even if I've only got *some* idea what I'm doing.

I just started the other day out of sheer curiosity and I must say, I didn't think I was the target audience for this game but it's surprisingly clever and entertaining! I'm starting to look for friends there too, here's my card (only met 3 guys so far but here's Zayne ❄️💙)

My Themis zine arrived this morning in the mail and it is a tremendous work of love and art. It was exquisitely put together and lovingly packaged, and was very impressive opening it up. @ffxivthemiszine.bsky.social I shall treasure this package always! 🤍
A shot of the Themis zine in its packaging with holographic stickers and sparkly tissue paper. There are also netted bags with foil designs of stars A layout of the majority of the items in the Seat of Sacrifice zone bundle including the zine itself the prints, the keychains, and other items. The Themis standee with its beautiful illustrations and multiple layers of textures and gold foil. The prints wrapped in parchment printed in light blue ink and sealed with a beautiful wax seal in pearlescent and gold wax in Elidibus' sigil design.

The shadow contrast seems so naturalistic to my eye now. Delightful. For anyone who doesn't play MMOs, what you're looking at is beautiful. The lighting engine upgrade happened over a year ago and I'm still discovering places where it continues to pay off.
Urianger's fists of guilt in dark and light contrast. A shot from behind Urianger from the moon's surface looking up at the sky from behind him. His astrologian's armament can be seen as well as the large red halo cloud Zodiark left behind. The blue and gold Watcher's Palace lies in the distance against the starry backdrop of space.

Was perusing some old cutscenes tonight in-game and, well. I submit this is now one of the most beautifully lit scenes in the game. Ultra settings, DLSS, 7.0 textures. Chef's kiss. (Urianger's bone structure and my cute as a button catgirl sure don't hurt, either.)
Urianger looks up, camera focused on him from the chest up, light hitting him from the left side of the shot, the right of the shot in shadow. His expression is serious, golden eyes focused on some unseen point in space, his sharp features in relief. The foreground is R'aileen, dressed in Hypostatic armor - purple and white aiming gear with blue glowing gems, chakrams at her hips, arm out in conversation facing away from the camera. Facing us in the distance is Urianger, the upper part of his figure in sunlight, the lower half in shadow. R'aileen seen from the chest up clad in purple draped silver embossed armor, purple and blue glowing stones, silver glasses, flowers adorning her braided updo. A folded fan-shaped earring dangles from her visible ear. Almost half her face is in sunlight. Urianger faces R'aileen, mouth slightly parted in speech. He is partly in sunlight, black chiton draping his shoulders, brass-toned star-shaped ornamental jewelry at his left shoulder. He wears a ruby stoned brass-colored collar at his long neck. Behind him, over his right shoulder, a astrologian's armament can be seen in its folded position upon Urianger's back.

Themis gazes at R'aileen with a soft smile upon his face, recognizing that you are a unique individual of your own that has fallen out of the sky and upon him, quite literally. It's almost a funny occurrence. Themis faces R'aileen, long white robes from shoulder to feet. He is on a stone path amidst Elpis' grass, several feet away from R'aileen. A stone stairway top landing is glimpsed nearby, as are greenery and a distant building. A closer shot of Themis from his front. He is a young man in appearance (perhaps in his early twenties, handsome) with shoulder length layered gray hair and long fringe that nearly covers his blue-gray eyes. He has a strong collarbone area showing in the cowl area of his white robe. Behind him, grasses sway and a stone railing sits. "[Azem] told me a falling star would appear before me, and I suppose you must be it. Truth be told, I did not expect the expression to be so...literal." R'aileen stands facing Themis, a frontal shot of her gazing back at him. She is dressed in her silver aetherical armor and purple cloth, silver spectacles and white hyacinth in her hair. Green grass is behind her and a large waterfall is seen in the pre-dawn light.

Serotonin dump, Ancient meet-cute edition.
Both R'aileen and Themis are sprawled on the ground staring in shock at each other, post-collision. R'aileen has landed on a stone paved path lined with grass, a waterfall not far behind her. In the pre-dawn light, Themis says, "Could it be...?" as if he recognizes R'aileen as someone he knows quite well. R'aileen's reaction to Themis' question is one of astonishment, her jaw hanging. In the background, a man-made cliff hangs with geometric forms and greenery spilling over the edges. The mist of the waterfall wafts softly behind. Themis' visage is seen in profile, his long gray layered locks obscuring his eyes, slight embarrassment apparent. "...No, of course not. Apologies, but for the briefest moment I thought you to be a dear friend of mine. I realize now that such a notion is preposterous."

Themis is still crouched on the floor, his Ancient blue-gray eyes lit with realization. "You've grasped the fraying strands of my being and tied them together with your own..." "Nevertheless, I fear that I am here on borrowed time." Themis is upright in conversation with R'aileen now, having been somewhat reconstituted selflessly by her to keep him in the current time and plane of existence. Behind him golden art deco structures in the room can be seen and one of the seats of the Convocation of Fourteen with its ornate red and gold decorative metal and upholstery. "I only hope that I can see you through the last of our battles. Until then, I will cherish every moment." R'aileen beams at Themis for his desire to be with her until the very end of his ability to stay in her time and with the living, for she very much desires the same. Her silver armor reflects the golden light of the room, art deco details shining behind her.

Serotonin dump, Ancient husband edition.
Themis looking up at R'aileen through the current of aether she is channeling to him as he is crouched on the floor of the chamber of the Convocation of Fourteen in Amaurot. It's a brilliant haze of blue and white light. He is a young man robed all in white, long gray locks at his shoulder, long fringe partially covering his blue-gray eyes. Themis is a young man robed all in white, long gray locks at his shoulder, long fringe partially covering his closed eyes in this shot. R'aileen is channeling aether to him, and it appears as a haze of blue and white light. The dialogue reads, "This warmth... Your aether..." The aether channel has stopped, some residual aether streams glowing about Themis' neck and torso are visible. He is a young man robed all in white, long gray locks at his shoulder, long fringe partially covering his closed eyes. The room behind him is a large, brilliantly lit space filled with golden light and giant windows with great arches and other architectural distinctions. R'aileen stands before a crouched Themis in the left corner of the shot almost out of sight. She has just finished channeling part of her aether to Themis, helping him maintain his physical presence in her time and space for a while longer as it threatens to dissipate back to the aetherial sea. The golden light of the chamber of the Convocation of Fourteen reflects off of her armor, giving her appearance a golden cast. Her hand reaches out for Themis, still attempting to connect with him, yearning as she looks down upon him. Above her, gold and black architecture and art deco stylings soar above her in a large room.

Pop star flair on display - pink shiny material with pearl trim. Yellow tulle at the skirt with a fun organza overlay. Opera length gloves, all sparkle and shine in the jewelry. Fun elegance matching Nikki's long blonde hair. She is pictured in the Sea of Stars zone, which is seen in twilight, a deep night blue sky, a rainbow piercing the heavens despite the night. The foreground is a beach landscape with pink tinged sea grass and tall pink palm trees. Nikki is in the foreground in a very orange filter. She faces the camera, her body turned to one side, visible from the bust upward. Her hair is long and wavy but part of her locks are up in two ornately plaited buns decorated with hair jewelry. Autumnal jewels decorate her brown and her neck, her dress reminiscent of Caillot Soeurs of 1910. A distant background in dim light, flowers are visible and a small amount of clouds and blue sky. Nikki posed looking to her left across her left arm, her right arm curled to her chest elegantly. Her outfit is an autumnal Caillot Soeurs style ensemble with deep orange maple leaves with gold accents, pink jewels and pearl trim. Delicate leaf lace embroidery at the cap sleeves decorates her arms with beautiful arm jewelry in gold to match the autumnal theme. The image foreground has a distinct autumnal light contrasting with the purplish night background, where wisteria and flowers can be seen. Nikki at the Choo-Choo station in the Abandoned District with her trusty companion Momo. She gestures to Momo who is posed proudly, chest puffed and arms akimbo. He is in a dark green, almost black cloak that is banshee-themed. It has deep bronze embroidered designs with deep green to black feathers at his neck with dark bronze metalwork and jewelry and green gems at his neck. Nikki is in her Caillot Soeurs style ensemble, very Edwardian (1910) but in dark blue and bronze, her hair also awash in dark blue. The textiles of her dress are shot through with contrasts of a metallic bronze shade vs dark blue with pinstripes, maple leaves and leaf embroidered lace trim. Jeweled trim at the empire waist, blue maple leaves at her neck and ears. The dark colors of Nikki and Momo's compliment each other against the neutral daylight background of the Abandoned district and the stone floor of the train platform.

An Infinity Nikki image dump - just some recent shots that I like. Enjoy my pretty fashion gacha fixation. ✨🌟
Nikki looking wistfully at the sky in pink and blue hair with cute topknots. She has an ornate iridescent special effect behind her head with a large blooming flower and a crescent moon shape. Her hands are folded to her chest. Similar to the first shot but her face is in three-quarter view. Nikki has pink and blue pastel hair and looks wistfully in the distance, her hands clasped to her chest. An ornate crescent moon shaped special effect hangs behind her head, glittering with iridescence. A large blooming flower sits over her right shoulder, a geometric design framing the view behind her. A more distant view of Nikki, clasping her hands and looking upward, her iridescent special effects floating around her body. She is dressed in a white blouse decorated with ruffles and pink and blue ribbons and applique designs with images of lavenders plants upon them. She wears wide-leg trousers in a pink plaid with blue ruffled trim and lavender applique designs. A sunrise in deep orange can be seen out of focus behind her, the shape of trees and flowers on hills on the horizon. Daybreak in the same scene of Nikki's lavender themed pink and blue outfit. Her hands rest casually near her waist, her iridescent special effects float beside and behind her head. To the left and right of her arms float butterflies with tassels hanging from them. Behind her head hangs a crescent moon with a large blossom and foliage. There is a geometric design that fills the negative space of the moon shape. To the right side of the special effect, special glyphs shimmer in the air for a brief period of time. Nikki stands with poise. A blue ruffled vest with pom-pom trim can be seen over her white ruffled blouse. The vest has lavender embroidery upon it. Her wide-leg pink plaid trousers have an organza overlay at the waist which is cut on the bias with multiple layers of ruffles and blue accents against the white material. A deep green tree frames her figure out of focus far behind her, blue sky and clouds, flowers at the horizon.

I just had the shittiest weekend - recovering from what I think was some kind of new food sensitivity that left me in so much pain I'm going to have to message my allergist about it. 😭 As a comfort I played something I hadn't in years and had a very wholesome, bittersweet experience.
The title screen of the game Journey. A pale desert scene, bright, dust-filled atmospheric sky with a dune in the foreground and archaic-looking gravestones standing upright. In the center, a small person in a cloak stands dwarfed in scale by a high mountain in the distance. Above, a light, and the logo in white letters, that says Journey. Light orange desert cliffs at sunset and a tiny cloaked person on a descent of of them in silhouette. The background and part of the foreground is in shadows, an atmospheric perspective of ancient buildings and ruins of an old civilization. Flying cloth creatures accompany the small person on their descent downward. The mountain and its light towers impossibly far above. A deep underground space. The ground is of sand as is just about everywhere in this world. Deep grays and blues are in contrast with the previous parts of the world, a gloomy scene, foreboding. Two small people in red cloaks with long red and gold scarves with glowing glyphs on them run from right to left along the sand. Tall underground architecture dwarfs them, harsh lines of stone. The end screen of the game Journey in a snowy mountainous landscape, a falling star amidst the wintry gloom. Above a towering snow-covered building atop a rock plinth, white text states: Thank you for playing Journey.
