Old, queer, and trying my best to leave the small parts of the world that I pass through better than I found them. They/he.

Finally made a carrd - this is still a work in progress, but I'm pleased with how it's coming together so far and I really appreciate everyone who encouraged me to try it.

I...do a lot of this because I like to write reflective characters haha. Gotta make sure it follows a clear arc and contributes something meaningful to the scene, sometimes a bit of interplay with their own mind.
First example is an older one which came to mind, the second from something more recent

I only have one fic to pull from at the moment, but since my OC is unable to speak in the first scene, it is mostly his internal observations. I had a lot of fun writing these thoughts as a call and response to the canon dialogue on the Ragnarok at the end of 6.0.

When Rain'li channels aether, it feels to him as though a slackened string in his body was suddenly pulled taut. Everything becomes brighter, and sensory details sharpen. This brings with it an enhanced focus and mental clarity, which, while a boon, is exhausting to maintain for extended periods.

There is a bit of tummy peeking out on that top in the middle and I'm going to riot if it's inexplicably hidden on the male character model *again*.
Gear obtainable from Patch 7.4 expert dungeon "Mistwake". Note that, in light of the planned upcoming glamour changes the Final Fantasy XIV team communicated, this equipment (sans weapons) could be used in glamour for all roles and without level restrictions.

I have officially made it far enough in Stormblood to unlock her quest chain. If Rain'li has had two historians as partners now, I suppose that must mean he has a type.

I thought that once I wrote this fic that this catboy would relinquish his hold on my brain, but the affliction has grown even more dire.

I am back at my Stormblood replay and sorry I bled all over your floor is a really funny way to reintroduce yourself to Rain'li in particular.

This gpose is what originally started the idea for this fic eating away at my brain until I wrote it.

Me: Rain'li has a preference for long coats; it's probably the Sharlayan in him.
@rhunathecatte.bsky.social: Which one?

If you’re reading fanfic on your phone to help you avoid and/or cope with your relatives during the holidays, please: let the fic writers know you appreciate their work! This is a hard time of the year for a lot of us, and a little kindness can go a long way.

Fully realized this morning what I've done to myself by deciding that Rain'li is going to learn about his heritage through his relationship with a Keeper historian.

Rain'li has returned home and has a long recovery ahead of him, made all the more difficult when his mind remains stuck in Ultima Thule. His friends are there to see him through it.

On further reflection, I have narrowed this down to:
Even as the stone of the fruit must break, that its heart may stand in the sun, so must you know pain.

Just sharing the whole poem. I could not settle on a single line, but this is the one that immediately popped into my head.
