First custom ability outfit made. I actually really like the default ability outfit, but I just had to make this for Gigantification. I wish I had headphones to make the design a little more accurate though.
My Infinity Nikki Gigantification outfit based on Wasp from A:EMH (with a lot of liberties). She has a black top, yellow skirt with black accents, yellow boots, yellow elbow gloves, yellow headpiece (it's bolts, I didn't have anything closer to headphones, unless there's something idk exists for free players), & wings dyed as yellow as possible (yeah, I know there's pink in this model, the blue ver didn't even look yellow at all with the yellow dye).

Okay I’m like very confused atm. I wanted to check where in HW I was when I returned & saw Hex’s Lodestone showing her as a Sage (I signed off of her as it) but her glam is very much not healer glam…

Maybe they’re giving me a taste of job mixing glams…? 🤣
Hex Raine of Siren’s (aka me) Lodestone page. Hex is currently showing as a Sage but her picture is showing in her current Viper glam (that Ravel Keeper top & those Torrent arm pieces are very much physical gear pieces, specifically Scouting)

Free & on an adventure!
Hex climbing a mountainside. She is looking back & beckoning to someone behind her (not in view) with an ultra rare big smile on her face.

Zen & I completed Mount Rokkan last night! The scenery for the Variant Dungeons is always amazing, the areas for the last routes especially so!

A fullbody shot of Zen in blue with red accent SAM armor & Hex with red WAR armor /embrace-ing in the right corner at the end of Mount Rokkon. There are many trees & taller heavily flowered trees in the bg. The picture has a black top & bottom border to make it appear widescreen.

Art/Gpose Train!

Share 4 artworks & tag 4

I think I got on this train a little late, so I'm going to be kind of lame & just say whoever wants in should give it a go!
A spooky shot of Hex sitting on a box with a smile (both her & the box). There is a checkered floor & most of the scene is very dark. She has a purple jester top & shorts & black makeup (makeup courtesy of #Rinsmods) Astraea transformed battling Venat/Hydaelyn. She is glowing orange (in contrast to the blue of the scene & of her mother) & is throwing a blast. A young Hex kneeling down while staring up at the open starry sky. She has a pensive look on her face. Hex sitting next to Min!Ryne in a corner of Y'shtola's room in Slitherbough. Hex is braiding Min!Ryne's hair while Y'shtola & Urianger (neither in view) are discussing Thancred who had just stormed off.

And then him saving you!

& I can't find pics, but the glistening in Hex's eyes during post SHB cs's every time Elidibert appeared.

& then there was mention at one of the concerts that UT song's from him (Ik he could just be figure for everyone lost, but I like that it's especially him).
The fist bump! And the spark between them! Ardbert's last smile to you as he gives you his axe. Ryne asking WoL how aether healed, asking what happened: "I tried to help you before the battle, but Emet-Selch stopped me. So h-how did you- exactly what did you... Can you tell us what happened?" After Ryne's question, Hex looks back at Ardbert's axe, and just the way the scene pans out after that showing the special place WoL holds for him!

All the emotion in every conversation you have with him, how much he wants to help you! 😭⤵️
I have no idea why I don't have Ardbert's expression during the scene with the lift, but it's such a good scene when WoL beckons to him! WoL & Ardbert on the stairs, looking out. The way the WoL approaches Ardbert & how he looks back Hex looking up at sky and Ardbert looking at her.

So many beautiful movement with the WoL's interactions with him.⤵️
After Ardbert calls out to wake the WoL, the WoL swims toward him. The WoL getting closer to Ardbert. Them looking at each other! Ardbert's movements to the WoL The talks about companions & the start of long conversations with him all night (and then the focus afterwards on WoL waking up in the morning).

And then there's all the #Hexbert, where everything in MSQ is also such a beautiful treat! 🥲
Going to the First, WoL sees Ardbert & reaches out. Ardbert wondering why WoL is the one who can see him: "But if fate has brought me to you - the one person in this godforsaken world who can see and hear me - then perhaps there is a reason I endured." Things are still tense between Ardbert & WoL at this time, but he's thinking about reasons you two must be tied together!

I wish he was in more of DT, but the scenes with him during the competition were a treat.

Also, back to ARR because I found one of the ones I was looking for!

Hexbert next⤵️
Thancred waving to Hex. Urianger just standing there. Thancred happy to be teamed with Hex: "As much as I would have loved to defeat you all in a high-stakes culinary battle, I couldn't have asked for better allies." Talking to Thancred before going to Living Memory: "I'll keep everyone safe. Just concentrate on your own task." They're such a power couple, looking out for everyone. Thancred talking to Minfilia, feeling guilt over what happened with Ifrit: "Yes, by some miracle, she survived - but that does not excuse the fact that she should never have had to face such dangers alone. I failed her utterly." And then when you enter, he warns you about the primals. And not long after this, WoL gets swept away & he surrounds himself with work/research until he's no longer himself.

It's blasphemous because these are huge moments, but I can't find one from when you compliment him at EW meal & he's surprised & really big UT event (Ik I have shots from that & WoL reaching out). Also post EW where he tells Zero about bond with WoL (Ik I have that because I was giggling about it)⤵️
When you pick the silly moogle choice post SHB and Thancred goes along with it: "You're a long way from home, moogle. And this is from Tataru, is it? Whatever could it be...?" Thancred watching Hex (who is unaware & just spacing out at the sky) post EW. Thancred: "We'll meet again soon, I'm sure. Take care, Hex." He might be a jerk in that first dungeon, and part of all the mischaracterization of the Scions, but he's so sweet to the WoL during all of DT. Thancred asks Koana if he wants to go over to the other camp while Koana is reading: "They seem to be enjoying themselves. Are you sure you don't want to go and say a word to your sister?" Ik it's supposed to be him telling Koana to be a good older brother but I like to believe there's a little selfishness in there too.

More post HW food and then some!⤵️
Thancred: "Mayhap I ought to fight for the other side - you know, even the odds". He has so much faith in the WoL Dinner date with Aymeric is interrupted by GUESS WHO? House Fortemps Knight: "Master Thancred returned to the manor a short time ago, bearing an injured maiden." Thancred sends this knight out to get the WoL despite the WoL's date! That at this Scion meeting at the Rising Stones, the WoL & Thancred sit next to each other (ignore that he totally burns you at this part) Min!Ryne: "...You know, Thancred always said you were a woman of many talents, and I think I'm beginning to understand what he meant." Thancred is so edgy by this point but still tells Min!Ryne all these great things about the WoL!

Eating well post HW⤵️
Emmanellain: "And there why are, a pair of gallant heroes if I ever saw them. Camrades-in-arms, reunited at last." This is in regards to Wol & Thancred. He ships it. He keeps sending you two to meet up with each other Thancred finding Hex after she passes out at Falcon's Nest. Because OF COURSE he's the one to wake you!!! Everyone talks about the punch, but no one talks about how Emmanellain riles WoL up first to point that Thancred has to calm WoL down. (Thancred holding out an arm to block an angry Hex) And then Thancred punches Emmanellain anyway & leaves (I love how the WoL is like looking between the two).

A bunch of the msq #Rainwaters I could find!

There's also a warning he gives you in ARR about the primals, and the dressing up with him to investigate things in Drybone (I have no idea why I can't find those atm in my files).⤵️
Screenshot of Hex confronting Lahacred (omg when you find out the Ascian has him!) Hex DEAD thanks to Lahacred Hex driving a magitek looking back. A passed out Thancred is set behind her on the magitek Just before this, Thancred jumps down to block Hex from the attacks of the Warriors of Darkness. This is so good because he keeps coming to your aid during this fight (and also because of who I later end up shipping Hex with)

Oh yeah, it would be terrible! Hex might even just decide it’s easier to give up & live there instead.

Happy Pocky Day!

#Rainwaters
Hex & Thancred leaning into each other for a kiss while sharing a stick of Pocky at night. Hex's hand is curled into Thancred's hair as his hand is on her waist. The blurred room behind them is lit in warm color. (I was going to try to get the Pocky more visible, but then my computer crashed & of course, after I fixed it, our favorite daily game occurrence happened!)

I didn’t win & Zen was like:

“That sucks”

“But…”
A picture of email in spam texted to me saying saying to get ready for fanfest. Zen in text: “You and I are going to Anaheim”

Hex prefers someone who can hold
up a good conversation with her quiet self, but for some reason (probably because she tends to be attracted to Tanks), they seem to have rather appealing pecs.
Some #Rainwaters I made a while back based on a pic of a guy with his idolizing the woman his arm is wrapped wrapped around, but in this shot, Thancred, in a tight black sweater with his head partially cut off from frame (for some reason, his chest seems to stand out in this shot lol), is in the role of the woman from that picture & Hex is in the role of the guy, her arm wrapped around Thancred’s waist while looking up at him (she tends to be touch adverse, so she’d more likely be in this position than the other).

Runner up to the runner up goes to the Twin Moons. Swords I can dance & throw with?! I just wish they were double dyeable because the ultra-pale silver doesn't go with enough of Hex's Dancer glams.

As for the bonus ? ⤵️

The Fae's Crown Tathlums are my favorite favorite. They're so pretty! I even made them for my cosplay (one day I will learn how to add lights & then it'll all be over)!

Also the The Emperor's New Fists because punching with your bare fists is ALWAYS a good thing!⤵️

-As for Hex (though it's a grey area as to whether it's unrequited & Hex does eventually end up with him), early Rainwaters might be, as Thancred's feelings for Hex are questionable, him running hot & cold with her all the way from their reunion post Heavensward through Stormblood.
Hex & Thancred talking to each other about their duties. Emmanellain is in the background with Honoroit, his face not visible (but he clearly knows something is going on!)

-Alisaie: Hex was just so cool to Alisaie, though Hex only considers her like a young sibling. Alisaie accepts this, but seeing how close Thancred has gotten to Hex has triggered some kind of rivalry between her & the GNB.⤵️

as they talk of the memories of the dead & the idea of seeing them again. Hex tells him how based on where she was before being taken to the First, the Hex from his stories that he missed dearly and the Hex who actually perished in the Exarch's timeline were likely not at all the same.⤵️
G'raha looking to the side, part of his face cut off: "Tell me, my friend. Have you ever wished to be reunited with someone who has passed away?" Cutscene of G'raha sitting on Gondola with Hex, G'raha's face visible, Hex's is not. G'raha: "I have. But I think... About all else, I wish that they had lived."

but her mind kept wandering off to Thancred & then when she got a call from him, she left the "date" to go to her now realized crush. Aymeric still had feelings for her for some time after, but knew it was likely a lost cause.⤵️
