My last message was a long time ago and I apologize for the lack of updates in between the go fund me and now.

Unfortunately we faced issue after issue, one of them being the post office giving our wedding rings to someone else. This wedding preparation was a nightmare as we kept running into that sort of issues. Of course we haven't been reimbursed by the post office or for all the other issues we faced but we're now officially married.

Writing on Tumblr has been difficult those past years and so is opening FFXIV and play. It's been a while I'm struggling between wanting to share why and being scared to open up too much. I have made mistakes, did my best to apologize when I could but a lot of events also drained the pleasure I had to play.

I'm not ready to explain everything, but know it has to do with being used, taking responsibilities for others and thus suffering the consequences to protect friendships, hospitals, bullying, betrayal and some more trigger warning issues. I'm trying to slowly write to explain but I'm unsure if I will ever post it.

I can't promise I'll return to Tumblr and if I'll continue my art journey, but I'll be back on Balmung under the name "En'to Tecil". If I was in your friendlist as Ilwe'ran, I'll still be there. Ilwe'ran and Carina finished their RP journey for now while En'to and Birka have a lot to do.. rather Birka had to stop En'to and his stupid ideas, that's a bit more realistic.

See you soon in FFXIV. I love you dearly my friends.

When it rains, it pours.

I was hyped to participate to this year #FFxivWrites but a strike of bad luck decided that nope, not in September, so I'll be working on it in October, if Murphy decides to leave me alone.

I'm mostly fine (I got injured at the beginning of the month but it's getting handled) and I can deal with the family issues and threats of lawsuits for posting a bad review on the internet, but unfortunately I'm facing bills I simply cannot afford.

My computer decided to die on me and as we didn't find what happened, we had to confuse it to a company to take care of it. There are several parts to change and the bill is €800 for everything to be taken off.

The very next day I could finally try on my wedding dress bought second hand from a woman of the same size and height. She didn't tell me she sized down the dress to fit her, thus making it too small for me. So here I am having to pay a seamstress between €100 and €200 to save the day.

All of this would have been less of an issue if me and my partner were both working but I'm relying on the government help as I'm handicaped and my future is still finishing his apprenticeship. We can't cut the corners of the wedding either as we're already not making it a big celebration, we'll go in front of the mayor to sign the paper and pay a meal at a restaurant for the 10 people we invited. Ironically we just bought a couch as we didn't have one to be able to host my fiance's mom and brother who can't afford to pay the hotel.

So I decide to make a go fund me as for now it's the only thing we can do. I'll try to open my commission later to give back to those who want a little something but it's complicated right now as two of my hard drive died, including the one having all my work resources.

Thank you for reading up to there, liking, sharing and / or helping, it means the world to me i_i .

Welcome back

A few months ago the changes occurring on Tumblr forced us to take a break as we lacked the ability to shuffle the posts within the queue, making it far easier for us to post randomly artworks, screenshots, writings and other types of arts.

As the option is now back and available to every users, we're going to slowly return to our past schedule and hope it will help you to discover new artists within FFXIV's community. If you have some suggestions regarding the tags we should follow ourselves, feel free to send us a PM.

Hey !

I'm not going to go onto details for the sake of my mental health, I had some troubles to get better after a lot of events happened and I don't think that speaking about it right now would do me any good, so we'll just skip everything up to two important news.

@geisterfuchs and me are switching our main and alt characters. Carina Hlaiwa has been renamed Birka Tecil (and Birka Lir was renamed Carina Hlaiwa). Ilwe'ran Hlaiwa has been renamed En'to Tecil (and En'to Tecil was renamed Ilwe'ran Hlaiwa). We're doing this as even if we're not actively playing since over 2 years now and are doting here and there, we didn't stop roleplaying. Ilwe'ran and Carina left Eorzea long ago and it didn't feel right anymore to play them as main character of our In Game adventures. If you want to know more about En'to and Birka or still want to meet Ilwe'ran and Carina, we'll be happy to meet you with either couple.

I'm getting married in December ! Yep, so this is happening, I'm pretty happy as it comes after a lot of hurdles in our way. Once more I don't want to be specific, but getting to that point has been complicated. Since I keep telling my partner that he was 10 days late when we got together (that would be the 18/08/08, in EU the date is before the month), we had to even it with the wedding which will happen the 21/12/21.

So that's if for the news.

I have no idea if I'll return regularly to Tumblr, at some point it took me most of the day to go through it and it wasn't for the best. I'll certainly post a few updates, reblog arts, write things and maybe even do a screenshot edit or a pixel art. Who knows, possibilities are endless.

I often talk about how hot-tempered Titus can be but had no awesome example of it, so here we are! His body guardian, Njal is often in these situations of restraining Ty when he doesn’t get his way. Or Ty loses money gambling. Or Ty is prevented from setting something on fire.

Which can at times be amusing, but others probably is like handling a toddler……

So, pray for him! (Or continue to agitate him, either way is a delight for me). 😂

Portraits I did of random twitter mi’qotes over the last week.

And this is how Nao discovered she could touch Ardbert (and what Ardbert meant when he’s said “I CANT TOUCH ANYTHING”)

I finished patch 5.3 the other night and it was so good, so beautiful, so sad. The sets, the music, the bosses, everything was perfect. I can’t wait to see the rest of the expansion. Since 2015, I have been living very beautiful adventures with my little miqo'te, I am happy to travel with her in these worlds.
