I made a separate art account! I’m sort of drifting away from ffxiv as far as art inspiration lately so I wanted to make sure I keep this profile ffxiv focused like originally planned, but I still want to share my original projects and whatever I’m working on!

As a note, my art commissions are open! I specialize in character portraits, but I'm happy to assist with character design, I do reference sheets, pet portraits, stuff of that sort! astrella-nightsky.carrd.co

My dear friend @cee-chan.bsky.social commissioned the incredible @geinkotsu.bsky.social for this portrait of my character Eleanor! I cannot gush about this enough, I love how the metal pieces of her gear are drawn and colored, I love the makeup, the flowers, all of it!

One of us! One of us! One of-! Jokes aside, you totally should! It’s really fun! 😄 I joined team Crystal! References can be a bit of a pain, but I’ve been making myself sit down with some friends so we can work on sheets together. It’s fun and it keeps me on task!

And sometimes I like to just people watch at rp events. I don’t want to make it super obvious that I’m checking out people’s carrds. I feel if I ask someone for their carrd, they’ll expect me to walk up to them, and I don’t want to disappoint them if I don’t or put that kind of pressure on myself.

Astra @astrashard.bsky.social · 13/06/2025
For another thing, I’m already using all of my courage to do the walk up in the first place lol! Seeing that I need to reach out directly to ask for a carrd terrifies me. Like it says to ask, but what if they say no because I’m boring and awkward?? 🤣 my ego would never recover

Astra @astrashard.bsky.social · 13/06/2025
I don’t, personally. For one thing, I prefer seeing someone’s carrd before we write together, I like getting to see people’s hooks so I when I walk up, I have something to play off of. Small talk doesn’t work for all my characters, so if there isn’t a hook, there won’t be anything to talk about.

In my experience, people who argue against your boundaries instead of accepting them aren’t worth your time.

Astra @astrashard.bsky.social · 10/06/2025
Keep yourself safe, enforce your boundaries, communicate clearly, and /do not/ compromise your comfort to make someone else happy. If you’re a people pleaser like me, you’ll hate doing it, but you’ll be happier for it in the long run.

Not only are you managing the in character relationship, there’s also the out of character relationship that you have with that player. It can get really messy if people let IC bleed into OOC and it’s not mutual. I’ve seen some people go off the rails obsessive after getting rejected.

I’ve been seeing some shipping discussion going around, and not that I have much to add to the conversation given that my two attempts at it have gone horribly wrong, I feel it’s important to emphasize communication. Real life relationships rely on communication, RP relationships doubly so.

#Junelezen2025 Day 7: Death Fleur lost her older brother Lucian toward the end of the war with the dragons. These days she likes to bring him back unique flowers and trinkets from places she visits.
A young lady dressed in black stands in front of a memorial shrine for her older brother. His shield is hung up and framed. A closer up shot of the young lady from the first screenshot holding a bouquet of white roses.

I’m not trying to hijack your post btw, sorry if it sounds like I’m just rehashing what you’ve said! I think of it as a moderation thing. We can be sad about numbers, if a post were really proud of doesn’t do well, but we can’t let it turn make us resentful of other people who get bigger numbers.

It never occurred to me that that’s the whole reason social media came to exist. With some exceptions probably, people want their creative works to be perceived, that’s why we post about it! It’s not a bad thing, it’s human.

I was just thinking about this earlier today, actually! When I was just starting off on social media when I was a teen or so, I developed this idea that creating things and wanting it to be seen was a bad thing, and that I was creating for the wrong reasons.
