i had the great fortune some time ago of working with @/burgeaux to bring sam to life. i cannot tell you how much joy this illustration brings me and how many compliments i get about it from people who see it as my wallpaper at work beloved fish (and streudel!)

sam looks morosely up at streudel, a cream-colored ferret perched on his head and looking back down at him. he is surrounded by a school of little brown fish.

it happens to us all at some point

Slightly edited scene from the Rugrats cartoon. Stu Pickles is stirring a pan and his wife Didi is standing in the doorway.

Panel 1:
"It's three o'clock in the morning. Why on earth are you trying to catch that fish?"

Panel 2:
A picture of the icon for Snowy Parexus from FFXIV has been overlaid on the pan.
"Because I've lost control of my life."

Today's Museum Monday feature is the Namafel Aquatic Museum! Namafel Aquatic Museum aims to showcase all the Big Fish & Legendary Fish in the game by exhibiting them in Fish Print and Fish Tank, with exhibits based on each zone in Eorzea! #FFXIV #MuseumMonday

A welcoming and warm entrance to the Namafel Aquatic Museum built to look like the inside of a cottage’s front door. A friendly Namazu figure with adventuring gear greets you, and a pair of aquatic life prints bracket the doorway.

A screenshot of the Namafel Aquatic Museum’s ground floor which contains a verdant gondola aqueduct scene with the gondola resting in an indoor river running through the lobby. The back wall is covered in greenery and the artificial river is emerging from a created cavern in the wall.

A centrepiece of fish imprints spiralling around greenery and coral on the top floor of the Namafel Aquatic Museum, displaying a wide variety of local and exotic species of fish. The spiral of fish prints is lit from within and surrounded by aquariums filled with large and impressive specimens.

Lining the wall of the upstairs level of the Namafel Aquatic Museum are dozens of fish prints in frames of various sizes showcasing a variety of fish.

Today's Museum Monday feature is Little Norvrandt! From your arrival beneath the transplanted lavender trees of Lakeland, follow along with the Warrior of Light's journey through the regions of the First on the quest to restore the night. #FFXIV #MuseumMonday

A yard of purple flowers features a campfire at center, with stumps for sitting and a tent to the right of the image. The background is dappled with stone ruins and purple-leaved trees.

Before the entrance to a stone building, Lyna, a Viera in full armor, stands with her arms crossed on a carpet of purple flowers.

An ethereal and imposing lobby with a crystal chandelier features benches to either side on a flagstone floor. Walls of blue crystal with filigree accents point toward a desk at center, behind which is a mannequin in hooded red armor.

From a rock ledge in an upper corner the viewer looks out over a room filled with exhibit material. A Dwarf in Kholusian clothing stands next to the viewer on the ledge. Beneath are paintings on the walls, mannequins in red and blue jester costumes, a floating mini airship, and other themed decor items.
