Come pass time with me

I don't think you're ready for the takedown.

Gposing in a shared lobby with others is not something I do often but it was so much fun planning and executing this with @eidingate and @expedienceffxiv. So many accidents and tech issues but we did it Featuring Eidin as Romance Saja, Lone Snowdrop as Mira, and Tova as Abby Saja. Heavily inspired by this fanart of KPop Demon Hunters by @kivizzaofficial~

Despicable Demon Boys

Don't you just hate it when demon boys won't leave you alone? Had fun setting up Tova as Abby here. Was glad to work with Eidin from @eidingate and Lone Snowdrop from @ravandfriendsxiv.

Inspired by this lovely piece of fanart of KPOP Demon Hunters

I’m still so blown away by this birthday gift I received from @ravandfriendsxiv! They designed this pixel art of Eidin completely from scratch! The way that she’s surrounded by red and blue roses, I just imagine her holding this armful of bouquets 🥺

Thank you so much, my friend!

you are a child in a field of flowering rice; the air is hot, humid, and tastes like leaves soaked with rain. The water you splash through is warm around your ankles, but the mud between your toes is blissfully cool; you hear cicadas and your mother calling you home.

you are in-between-- not yet a woman, no more a girl -- and you were always meant to be here. the castra is alive with the buzz of magitek, blue and red light flickering as you run across the metal walkway, boots thumping with every step. your body thrums with the need to prove your worth, earn your place.

you are a soldier in a field of burning grass; the air is hot, dry, and tastes acrid, the stink of ceruleum and black firesand stinging your nose. the savages lay dead at your feet, their blood pooling in the dirt beneath your boots. you hear screaming and a mother crying for a child who is never coming home.

you are a monster

Minion+Carbuncle+Mount Mashups/Edits Commissions !

Examples are all things I've done in the past, which you can find up on my [XMA] (with the exception of the hardhat sparrow, which hasn't been posted yet, and the Mega-Chewy, which is a private work since it was a lot of trouble and has some weight funniness with Megashiba emotes)

**Megachewy With Saddle under the Complex Mashups is also using a diffuse resource from pre-dawntrail that has since been taken down (I can't find it again) so any megashiba saddle edits will be done from scratch from Vanilla Megashiba textures :'>

Not shown is also: I can do Hair Ports and Upscales, but I'm less confident in Upscales so I'd wanna talk about it with you first to make sure we're both going to have an outcome we're happy with! (Otherwise, there's plenty of other people who are more confident and capable ^^;)

Payment is done via paypal or Ko-fi When work is done for simple mods, or half up front for more complicated work with the other half when work is finished. Unless we discuss it beforehand, Mods will be put up on my XMA for all after a short period !

! If we don't talk via Email/Tumblr before swapping discord usernames it is NOT ME. !

-- Also, I take requests for free! There's just no guarantee I do them. --

Well that's one way to make a first impression.

Osk found herself on one of the walkways overlooking the farming section of the Crystarium. It had been a long time since she visited any large city, and she needed space to breathe. The night air helped at least, the stars shinning brightly against the darkness, contrasted by the shinning crystal tower. She had to admit it was a beautiful sight, even if it felt a bit otherworldly.

That brought her back to issue at hand—the Crystal Exarch. Or, more specifically, the fool she just made of herself in front of him and all of the Scions. He was so surprised at her presence, he didn’t even know she existed much less that he had pulled her across the rift, and for some reason his apology just set her off. So she yelled at him. Yelled about how she was pulled away from the people who need her, how she has spent years here not knowing what happened to them, and how they must be so worried about her in return.

And then she just stormed out. It was all so unlike her—she prides herself on how she can keep calm and composed in a crisis. A steadying presence, or she has been told. What must they think of her display? Especially the twins, who she had only met moments before, and whom Y’shtola had said are so important to Robyn.

The sound of heavy footsteps on the walkway caused Osk to straighten up, and she was unsurprised when Robyn settled in next to her.

“I am sorry for how I acted in there,” Osk started before Robyn had the chance to speak. “It was unbecoming of me, especially as the Warrior of Light’s—or Darkness I suppose—sister.”

Robyn just laughed. “Those titles are my responsibility to bear, not yours. Please don’t feel their weight. Besides, Alisaie literally started throwing punches when she was brought over. Trust me, no one was judging you for caring about your people. If anything they probably think more highly of you because of it.”

Osk let out a soft sigh and finally looked at Robyn. There was nothing but truth in her eyes, and the same small grin that made her look so much like their mother.

“Will you tell me about them? Your people?”

“Its a long story.”

“Well luckily, I have been ordered to do nothing but rest for the time being.”

“Heh, so you need a distraction. OK, lets see…

“Raimon and his daughter Juttie were the ones who found me after the moon (and you) fell. He was a chirurgeon in Ishgard, before they had to flee for their lives for daring to treat a critically ill lowborn before a noble’s son. Once he found out I had an aptitude for healing magic, he took me as his apprentice. Even though he is not magically inclined himself, he has taught me everything he knows about medicine and the body, even some alchemy and botany. It has helped me be much more precise and effective with my healing, well that and all the practice.

“We opened a clinic in a small village near the edge of the Twelveswood, not far from the wall. It started off fairly small—hunters, Wood Wailers, refugees and the people who lived nearby—but between the rumors of a white mage providing aid in the forest and the escalation of the war with Garlemald, our little operation has grown quite a bit. Juttie keeps us functioning. She makes sure we have food and supplies, that laundry is done, bandages are made, and all of the other logistics that are needed.

“And we have gotten more help over the years. Herbert and Mani, a pair of Ala Mhigan brothers who first came to us in needed our aid, has been with us the longest. And others have helped even just for a time—some bring supplies, some have built additional buildings and beds, and others just offer their hands while their loved ones are recovering. Truly its a special place, and I have been lucky to be a part of it.”

“I imagine they are the lucky ones to have you there.”

“Oh I’ve brought as much trouble as aid, I assure you.”

“I take it the conjurers are aware of your presence then?”

“Yeah, they found me years ago when one of their acolytes had ran away and ended up in our side of the woods. I helped her overcome her fear of using aether that wasn’t hers for healing before I realized who she was with, but luckily one of the more senior Wood Wailers vouched for me and the work I had been doing for them. Surprisingly they let me stay, but of course with a stern ‘we will be watching you, don’t you dare overstep’ threat. We had a tenuous relationship for a long time, to say the least.”

“Had?” Robyn asked incredulously.

“Would you believe that they asked for my help calming the spirits of the forest? And taking care of their soldiers certainly helped, too. But really, it was Gatty that changed everything.”

Osk paused for a moment to gather her thoughts, fingers searching for a ring that wasn’t there.

“I found Gatty alone in the woods, a small Hyur girl no older than seven, being chased by a voidsent of all things. After I managed to dispatch it, the girl surprisingly seemed to be more afraid of me than than she was of it, and managed to slip away before I could figure out what was going on. But I found her again a week later and managed to follow her back to what looked like an abandoned house out in the middle of nowhere.

“Her mother did not appreciate me skulking about, and came out bow drawn. When she saw my staff, she didn’t even ask any questions and intended to kill me on the spot. Lucky for me in that moment her heart seized up and she collapsed, causing the arrow to just hit my arm. I was able to stabilize her, but in her panic, Gatty rushed to her mother knocking the hat off of her head and revealing a pair of Padjali horns.”

“Oh shit. For you of all people to be the one who found them.”

“I know right? It took some time for me to convince them that I wasn’t a part of the conjurer’s guild, and had been running from them all my life in the same way they were. Sanche, her mother, had a heart condition—not unlike mom’s actually—and it was getting steadily worse. She wasn’t able to hunt and care for Gatty on her own, but was too afraid of losing her if they went to any populated area. I was able to persuade her to come back with me, let me treat her condition and teach Gatty what I could to help her conceal her nature. And any slip-ups could be blamed on me instead Gatty if the Padjal came looking.”

“That was incredibly risky.”

“I honestly had no idea just how much. I am forever grateful that Raimon and Juttie agreed to help. I told them everything as soon as we got back, I didn’t want to put them at risk without their consent. But of course they understood all too well themselves, so we were all conspirators together.

“And amazingly it worked. It worked for years. As Gatty’s power grew, so did her control. She even would help me on my rounds from time to time, when it was safe enough to do so. And I was able to slow the deterioration of Sanche’s heart. I knew I wouldn’t be able to cure her, only delay the inevitable, but I was determined to give her as much time as I could.

“They both became such an important part of my life. I would spend pretty much all of my free time with them. Gatty has an insatiable curiosity and is such a social butterfly, she talks to everyone that passes through wanting to know their story, and somehow gets even the most stoic person to open up. And Sanche was always able to get me to laugh, even on the hardest of days. She always noticed when I was struggling, and seemed to know just how to make it easier to handle. I swear she was the one with the healing touch.”

“Sounds like she was special to you.” Robyn punctuated that with raised her eyebrows and her signature shit-eating grin.

“Heh, yes she was. I loved her. I mean I still do but…she gave me a ring, you know. Not to wear on my wedding finger to deter any future suitors (her words), but to remember her by nonetheless. She knew her fate as well as I did, but we made the best of the time we had. I…Robyn, are you crying?”

“So what if I am?” Robyn asked as she wiped away her tears. “I can’t help it. I’m so glad you had someone, that you have felt that love for a little while at least. But I’m also heartbroken that it was taken away so quickly, I wish…I don’t know…I wish you didn’t have to go through that. Or at least I wish I could have been there for you.”

“I won’t lie and say it hasn’t been hard. The night that she died…well I had Gatty to take care of. And not a day has gone by that I don’t revisit it—was there something I missed? Something else I could have done? But I don’t regret the love, and I don’t regret trying. I do wish you could have met her, though. She would have liked you.”

Osk bumped her shoulder against Robyn’s arm as she continued. “But anyways, everything was going well, until one day we were attacked by a small Garlean contingent. I don’t know if they were lost or sent for us specifically, but they were certainly not ready for us to fight back like we did. But during the battle a couple of our buildings caught fire, including the one Sanche was trapped in. We were able to get her out, but not before Gatty panicked and lost control.

“Her fear drew a handful of voidsent out, which we took care of without much trouble, but it also disturbed the spirits so much that the Padjal came running. As soon as they arrived, they silenced and bound me, thinking I had done something exceedingly dangerous and would do it again if given the chance. After all, that is what I had lead them to believe. They probably would have dispatched me then and there if Gatty didn’t come forward and reveal herself.

“I’ve never been so afraid, helplessly watching as our fates were decided, unable to even speak on their behalf. But I didn’t have to. Herbert and Mani spoke out first, followed by Juttie and Raimon, then half a dozen of our patients, and some of our neighbors from the village. All touched by Gatty’s kindness and grateful for my work, they argued that I should be released and that Gatty should be able to stay with her mother for the little time they had left together. And miraculously, Brother E-Sumi agreed.

“They of course tested Gatty from time to time and were always keeping an eye on both of us, but ultimately let us continue on as we were—except that Gatty no longer had to hide under her hat. And when Sanche passed a year or so later, they gave Gatty the choice to stay or to go learn from them in Gridania. She has been with me ever since.”

Osk’s soft smile almost brought tears to Robyn’s eyes again. “I am so happy, so thankful that you have had such good people with you. That you have had so much love, despite…everything. My biggest fear was that you had been suffering, and I have felt so guilty that I haven’t been able to find any trace of you—though I am a little embarrassed to find out you have been right under my nose this whole time.”

“Hey, I’ve been hearing stories about you for years and it never occurred to me that it might be you. Really, I don’t know how you managed for not one of your legends to actually include your name. You know you even passed through our village once? I was busy in surgery at the time, but Juttie would not stop talking about how handsome the Warrior of Light was for at least a week. She may pass out if you flash that smile of yours at her when you meet again.”

“I can’t wait to meet them, properly this time. Thank them for looking after you when I couldn’t, especially considering how much of a troublemaker you are. Though, it will probably break the illusion of how incredibly cool I am—if you would rather be able to brag about that, I’d understand.”

“Nah, I like the real you much better.”
