As mod updates and shader updates become a bit more frequent, I am going to be on this more front-facing XIV account more often.

I have chosen to give this account a name more in line with Ephraim's own evolution into Aster, so the 'duskhardt' name is now 'astrumnox.'

This is my only XIV account.

re: the oc suffering thing

idk man i just kinda got tired of people refusing to interact with aster/myself because i refused to make my ocs suffer for the sake of 'plot development' or whatever.
my perspective as someone with recently-diagnosed ptsd is that it doesn't make them lesser to be happy.

Today is National Day of Mourning. Please take a moment to understand why it's specifically set on thanksgiving, and maybe tune into this year's demonstration

First time trying to put something together, but here it is!

For my birthday, I'd like to try & get together with folks to enjoy the lifting of glam restrictions! No contests, just the joy of getting to use *our* sense of class identity. Potential raid runs if people want gear!

Awesome that this is the first time they drop a preview of the dungeon gear, and nobody has to pray that their job’s set is the one they want to glamour.

Aster's aetheric reserves are damn near limitless, so he has no issue with sharing his aether with anyone (as long as it's not parasitic.) He doesn't really do it by way of blood, but by way of the ol' 'extend hand and share aether' method.

(There are other NSFW ways he shares it too but. smiles.)
Ok #wolqotd because I was discussing it with some friends and now want to hear about everyone else~

If your oc gives/receives aether in some way shape or form, in what ways (traditional or non traditional) do they do so?

NSFW replies are fine just make sure to indicate as such!

Dude I wish I knew more WoLGranson and WoLKoanas. I wish I knew more WoL Polycule havers. It's so fun and so interesting. 😭
#wolqotd How do you feel about other people shipping things with your wolship/OCship of choice? Do you ignore it? Adore it? (Take anything you can get because your character is so minor they barely get anything at all so any content is a blessing?)

Anyway if someone gets territorial and weird and rude about shipping with the same NPC, ignore them because they're immature and not worth your time.

No one owns a WoLNPC ship. No one owns an NPC.
You do not need "permission" to ship with an NPC you like, even if a "popular" account does too.

lmao.

what is a quality-of-life addition you, the player, want added to the game?
November 24, 2025 at 9:49 PM
DT = Shadowbringers > A Realm Reborn > Endwalker > Heavensward > Stormblood.

I get ARR is the most dated, but that doesn't negate its impact on the lore and the foundation of the world itself. Without ARR we wouldn't have half the shit we have now.

Just my opinion.
#wolqotd for the player: From your favorite to your least favorite, how would you rank the expansions? (ARR included.)

fuck it - unsolicited gpose advice thread. 🧵

starting off with posing tips -

when posing bones in your posing tool, MOVE YOUR CLAVICLES. MOVE YOUR KNEES. MOVE YOUR ELBOWS, TOO. This will make it so you have wider range of movement and your poses don't look broken or stiff. example below.

cannot recommend the high fps physics plugin to anyone enough. if your character's clothes or hair are looking a bit stiff or their bits don't jiggle as much as other folks' it's likely because physics in xiv are tied to fps and you're playing at higher than 60fps. example video below.
