Randomly emerging from my cave to show off Mavis, because I love her.

I hope I can feel like I actually belong and am wanted one day. This isn't to throw shade at anyone. I think it's something that is fundamentally wrong with me. I just feel so adjacent to everyone, but not truly part of anyone's lives.

I want to thank those here who have continued interacting with me despite my evident mental decline. I'll be honest. I'm very lost as of late. There is a substantial part of me that will never be whole and I'm trying to navigate how to live with that. I appreciate those who haven't given up on me.

Weapon durability was always going to divide people. It's an inherently flawed system. That being said, I can't think of another game that has utilized it's physics engine and various mechanics quite the way TOTK has. I think it's unreasonable to expect everyone to love this, but I certainly did.

Is there a word out there in a language I don’t know that roughly translates as “the uniquely exquisite ache of needing something that only exits in another universe?”

I'm going to be 39 in a few months and I still don't have a desire to participate in many things I'm supposed to in life. I'm a little afraid my "spark" is just gone and I'll just exist this way until I don't. I just want to feel like I belong.

Guys omg……. my first set of keychains are here…… im crYINg JUST LOOK AT THEM I’M???? #ffxiv #ffxivmerch

Chibi keychains I designed of Hades, Hythlodaeus, G’raha, and Haurchefant on various mounts. They have holographic borders and tiny flecks of glitter. Hythlodaeus’s (on Megalombystoma mount) and Hades’s (on Grani mount) keychain clasps are star-shaped. G’raha’s (on Mehwapyarra mount) keychain clasp is cat-shaped. Haurchefant’s (on a black chocobo without barding) keychain clasp (not pictured because I got excited) is heart-shaped.

“The webs we weave…” #ffxiv #ffxivart #Emetwol #Emet-Selch #Shadowbringers

Emet-Selch and my Warrior of Light, Eshii, fighting passionately against one another. Each is ready to land a fatal blow. Flower petals and magic swirls surround them. The red string of fate is tangled up in their arms/weapons, trying to hold them back from striking while also wound up tight around their necks, trying to bring them back together. The string frays in one spot between their faces, ready to snap.

Anyone else here actively feel repulsed when asked to engage with the world? It hasn't gotten to the point where I don't do things, but I simply cannot bring myself to WANT to do much of anything lately. I just sort of autopilot a lot of the time. Goals feel pointless and I just want to sleep.

DrMambo @drmambo199.bsky.social · 17/12/2025

Been feeling rather disconnected lately. I'm not sure what happened, but my motivation to put myself out there and try to connect with people just disappeared, sorta overnight. I clearly still want connection, hence posting here, but it's why I've been silent lately. My apologies

I don't have much to post currently. I'll get screenshots up eventually, but I just wanted to say "Happy birthday Jade Curtiss!" I'm acquiring lemon cake (not a good cook lol) as it is the flavor that made sense to me. I really love seeing all the Jade art this time of year!

I finally got a hair style that is so bloody close to Jade's actual hair, but the bangs are on the wrong side! 😭 I'm willing to deal with it, because I love how he looks, but I need a hair flip option one day!

Bonus page for fun because Azem’s gotta stay being a pain in Emet’s side. Read from top-to-bottom, right-to-left :) #ffxiv #ffxivart #Azemet #Emet-Selch

Depicts a non-canonical instance that takes place some time after the Sundering of the Ancient World but before Emet-Selch’s meeting with the Warrior of Light in Shadowbringers from Final Fantasy 14.

Emet-Selch sorrowfully reflects on the Azem crystal he made in secret as it rains. While gazing at the crystal, something catches his eye. He looks down in disbelief to find a worm, curled into the shape of a heart, writhing in a shallow puddle at his feet. To his disbelief, his soul sight discerns that this very adventurous worm in trouble is, indeed, a reflection of Azem. He recalls a seemingly pointless conversation he’d had with Azem years before in which she’d asked him if he’d still love her were she a worm. Although frustrated, he decides to rescue the worm and move it where it will have a better chance of survival, referencing Azem’s way of calling on friends during times of need.

This is a bonus page for fun and giggles I made as a follow-up to the original “Would you still love me…?” story. It is read from top-to-bottom and right-to-left as you would read manga!

Happy Halloween from these two bffs! <3 #ffxiv #ffxivart #Emet-Selch #Hythlodaeus

Emet-Selch and Hythlodaeus from Final Fantasy 14 dressed as Woody and Buzz Lightyear from Toy Story! Just a fun thing for Halloween.

Emet-Selch flashes Hythlodaeus an annoyed look as a blush crosses his cheeks; meanwhile, Hythlodaeus holds up Emet-Selch’s boot to show the viewer that it has “Azem” on the bottom of the boot rather than “Andy” and laughs brightly.

Would you still love me if…? Read from top-to-bottom, right-to-left #ffxiv #ffxivart #azemet #emetwol

Page one of two, read from top to bottom and right to left: Azem and Emet-Selch lie in a field of flowers in the ancient world. Azem playfully asks Emet-Selch if he would still love her if she was a worm; rather than dismiss her completely, he smirks at her and asks if she’d make a lovable worm. Azem pauses, gazing up at the sky with wrinkled brows and a soft smile, seemingly in thought, before offering him a response.

Page two of two, read from top to bottom and right to left: Azem responds “aye” (yes) to Emet-Selch’s question regarding whether or not she would be a “lovable” worm. The text is laid beside an image of a nervous Warrior of Light, Eshii, whom Azem eventually becomes. Repulsed by her sundered form, Emet-Selch, pictured as he appears in Shadowbringers, scrutinizes her with a scowl. He closes his eyes in frustration and then smiles wistfully in acceptance, recalling their “would you still love me if I was a worm” conversation from years past, relenting to the fact that, even as a sundered being, “of course,” he will still always love Azem.

I haven't been super active here or on social media in general recently. I'm just socially drained and haven't had the energy to try and put myself out there. That being said, I'm wishing everyone well! Here are more pics of my little Mavis!

I'm realizing that I'm not entirely okay. Since 2020, I lost my cat, my spouse has long COVID, my mom died, my uncle died, my grandma died and my other cat died, friendship dynamics have changed and I feel a constant sense of anxiety that I will lose someone. I'm mentally drained

Been a while since I posted, and I haven’t completed new art because life (ToT) so here is another oldie that I plan to redraw/clean up someday. Get you a friend that loves you like Hythlodaeus loves his friends 🖤 Hoping to share new art soooooon :) #ffxiv #ffxivart #Hythlodaeus

Read from top-to-bottom, right-to-left. On page 1, Final Fantasy 14 characters and best friends, Hythlodaeus and Azem sit beneath a night sky before their world was destroyed. A shooting star passes overhead, and Azem asks Hythlodaeus what he will wish upon the star for. He ponders this thought with a smile.

Continued from page 1, Hythlodaeus explains to Azem that his wish is to witness her wish come true. Although he makes this confession in the present-tense, it is conveyed over a series of art panels that reveal what is to come in the future: Azem’s sundered reflection, the Warrior of Light, meeting the shade of Hythlodaeus in Amaurot, gathering up constellation crystals, meeting him and Emet-Selch in the past, and seeing them once more in a field of Elpis flowers on Ultima Thule. It reveals that Azem’s wish is to always be connected to Hythlodaeus and Emet-Selch in some way.

These panels are a non-canonical interaction inspired by the selflessness and unwavering devotion that Hythlodaeus exhibits toward Azem and Emet-Selch in Final Fantasy 14. They imply that he would gladly give everything, even his wishes, to see their dreams and causes fulfilled.
