*UPDATE: It has been confirmed that March 31, 2023 Fishcord member Bikonito got a double sea butterfly window. This would make my first instance on Nov 20, 2024 the know 2nd, but this remains the first and so far only known video recording of it happening.

Here is the Double Sea Butterfly window from yesterday.

After chatting with other fishers, we've decided it is likely that my 2 Double Sea Butterfly windows are likely the 1st and 2nd documented times in #FFXIV it has happened due to the nature of the fisher kit and gear.

i’m on a second playthrough with an alt and jfc, even as an endwalker enjoyer the loporrit section is still as insufferable as it was the first time.

My sales inventory will be somewhat modest due to numerous factors (burnout, tech issues, and being my first out-of-state con on top of my first artist alley in 5 years), but the FSH gacha is my big pride and joy of what I have to offer and I feel like as long as I bring it there, I’ll be at peace

I’m so grateful to see such an overwhelming response to my little FSH pond! It took a few weeks of trial and error, and there’s still some room for improvement next time I bring it to a con, but damn I’m so proud of it and I hope people have as much fun playing with it as I had making it 💕

Thank YOU for such a fun and creative idea!! ☺️ We have lots of passionate fishers in the Final Fantasy XIV community so this concept fits right in!

Video for demonstration!

Credit for this brilliant idea goes to @harukaillustration.bsky.social! Ever since I first saw it, I knew it would make for a perfect adaptation for my collection of FFXIV FSH charms 💙

"You cast your line into the undiscovered fishing hole..."

I'm extremely thrilled to have expanded upon my selection of big fish charms. But there's a catch- not only are they randomized mystery pulls, but you gotta reel them in yourself!

Join me for a spot of magnet fishing at GATEway FATE! 🎣

Eleven different fish charms based on the following Final Fantasy XIV fish: Helicoprion, Problematicus, The Unconditional, Aquamaton, Sidereal Whale, Nepto Dragon, Sea Butterfly, Warden of the Seven Hues, Ealad Skaan, and Snowy Parexus.

To say the lighting in my house is poor is an understatement. Even my overhead LED lamp in my sewing room decided it was an awesome time to die so I’ve been working in a freakin cave all this time 😓

Really excited to show this off properly when I’m able to!

I wanted to experiment with some smaller sized Caduceus plushies that aren't articulated and would require less detail, with the tradeoff being a much lower price. I still want to tweak them in the future, but in the meantime I'll be bringing a small batch of sneks to GATEway FATE!

NEXT OPPONENT in my merch lineup at GATEway FATE is a swarm of feral souls entering the arena! They feature a holographic finish front and a non-holo back side for display preference. #xivmerch

A set of seven acrylic charms featuring feral souls from the Arcadion raids: a black cat against a grid with pawprints, a honey bee with a heart backdrop, a bomb with an explosion and a spilling energy drink, Ixion amongst electrope blocks, a dancing frog in front of a mirror ball, a pudding accompanied by the M6S creatures in front of a paint splatter, and Fenrir in front of the Titan rock formation. There is a broken glass holographic finish on this side.

The backs of the charms, mirror images without a holographic finish.

I'm very happy to have pulled through with my vision for these and they look so wonderful in person! Definitely looking forward to the final raid tier so I can round out a complete set (please squenix give me a behemoth...!)
