I know I'm like a week late, but I'd like to second the request for Brio functionality someday if at all possible. I'm not in any rush or anything, but I really struggle with Ktisis' posing tools compared to Brio's, and while I've tried to swap over before, I haven't been particularly successful.

With You Til The End - Tommee Profitt, Sam Tinnesz open.spotify.com/track/2izP0r... I see it in your eyes You're losing all your light Each day feels longer than the day that came before You can't see a way out You've run out of time now You've lost your heart inside this war

Emet-Selch walks alone throughout the recreated streets of Amaurot, shoulders slouched and lost. Shadethlodaeus watches, arm slightly outstretched, powerless to help

30 - Sunset - Deimos "The sun is gone. All of Garlemald will know the terror of a night without end. I'll show every man, woman, and child the exact same mercy offered to you. They will know me. They will fear me. And in the end, I will come for them all. This I swear to you." - Deimos

Deimos stares forward at Sunset in what's TOTALLY Dalmasca, don't question it, I swear it's totally Dalmasca. The left half of his face (viewer right) is entirely obscured by shadow, and a scowl tears across his face.

29 - Hear, Feel, Think - Hyth Three words, echoing in his mind and drawing him away from reality. Three words of vague instruction that would pull him into an adventure he had never asked for, and a role he could never refuse.

Rabbit Hyth falls to one knee in the mountains of Garlemald, the snow blurring and blending into the stars of Hydaelyn's visions.

Feline's Media @felinemedia.bsky.social · 07/05/2026

28 - Whimsy - Hyth Though unable to view the colour of his own soul, both Hythlodaeii recognized the visual familiarity of each other. Though Emet-Selch gruffed and grumbled, it was of course an inevitability that he would give in to that requested of him, and in doing so, enable SO much mischief.

Ancient Hythlodaeus kneels before Rabbit Hythlodaeus, who is partially incorporeal (transparent) in the entry room to Elpis. Ancient Hythlodaeus requests of Emet-Selch (with partially altered dialogue) that he spare some of his aether to bring Rabbit Hyth corporeal.

27 - Alive - Deimos He'd been hired to defeat petty thugs and kill Garleans; primals had never been in the job description. It wasn't even meant to be possible, but that didn't stop Deimos from slaying the first primal he encountered. (And punching Thancred in the face the next time he saw him.)

Deimos stands atop the defeated corpse of Ifrit, dramatically lit by that ridiculously cool lighting in the Bowl of Embers.

This ain't an allegory Baby, I’m the, Baby I'm the Villain in this story Oh oh giving in to all my own worst vices Oh oh mask off no more disguises Baby, I'm the, Baby I'm the Villain in this story

Selch starts to remove the braid from his hair, a heartless smile twisting his lips behind his glyph. Behind him, a faded Hades watches in dismay and pain, unable to wrap his arms around Selch as he so badly needs to.

Sad Song - We The Kings ft. Elena Coats Without you, I feel broke Like I'm half of a whole Without you, I've got no hand to hold Without you, I feel torn Like a sail in a storm

Selch, still early on in his life, reaches for Emet, a look of anguish on his face as he clutches his heart with his other hand. Emet is partially transparent, a fading memory.

26 - Free Space - Shun Re-pose of last year's Dream with updated skills, tools, and mods- bsky.app/profile/expr... I'm not as happy with the new one, but it was MUCH harder to pose bc of increased size differences. Last year Zenos was ~7-8' and Shun ~5'6". Now it's ~9-10' and 5'. So, way harder...

A naked Shun lays on top of an equally naked Zenos. Shun has his face nestled between Zenos' pecs, while Zenos has a hand curled around Shun's back.

25 - Dark - Shun The (second) re-pose of last year's Dance with updated skills, tools, and mods-- OG: bsky.app/profile/expr... First re-pose: bsky.app/profile/expr... As with the OG, not a moment that ever happened, more a vibe between Fandaniel and Shun. Overwhelming darkness, less and less light.

Fandaniel and Shun dance in almost pure darkness, a stark white light illuminating them and only them from above. Fandaniel dips Shun, who leans into the moment with enthusiasm.

24 - Black & White - Deimos No lore text here. This was supposed to be such a cool idea in my head, but no matter what I tried, the execution never worked out. I spent over 12 hours trying various different iterations, re-drawing it all, etc. It always sucked, and I hate it. Next day now.

No alt text. I hate this. Pretend you never saw this post.

Feline's Media @felinemedia.bsky.social · 05/05/2026

23 - Canon Weapon - Deimos Even after the First, a core part of Deimos & Phobos remained altered by the Light they played host to. A tip on the scales pushing away from the mindless hunger and back toward conscious balance; the ability to imbue weapons with Light in dire straits. Small, but there.

Deimos lifts a feathered, black-and-blue scythe with yellow, Light-based particle VFX into a vague combat pose. He stands in Heritage Found with the dome up, staring down some great beast or another (I forget which, sorry), which has one paw raised and ready to strike.

....I did a bad job on the posing, in all honesty, but this was one of the last Vierapril ones I did, and I was mentally and emotionally exhausted. I'll do a better one with the scythe someday.

22 - Physical Touch - Deimos From the time he joined the Lominsan pirates all the way through decades after, the people around Deimos learned very, VERY quickly to never, ever touch him. That, or they died. Painfully.

Deimos, dressed in his pirate attire, holds a random hyur pirate man against a box in a ship's hold with his knife to the man's throat, barely pressing into the skin. The hyur man looks suitably terrified.

21 - Alone - Hyth Remember? How could he ever forget.

Rabbit Hythlodaeus clutches his head, bent over and in clear agony in the final phase of the Dying Gasp with the ruins of Amaurot in the background. A text bubble is on screen but fading, with Emet-Selch's final words: Remember... that we once lived....

110

Feline's Media @felinemedia.bsky.social · 28/04/2026

20 - Light - Hyth A blinding light so much worse than sun reflected off of snow -- and the heat to match. This new world was so much hotter than Garlemald's mountainous outskirts that Hyth found himself overwhelmed from the start, sweating and miserable before he even arrived at the Crystarium.

Rabbit Hyth wipes his brow as he steps through Lakeland, visibly squinting due to the abundance of light.

Feline's Media @felinemedia.bsky.social · 28/04/2026

19 - Free Space - Shun A remake of this gpose with updated skills, tools, and mods: bsky.app/profile/expr... Far from objecting when abducted by Fandaniel, Shun was instead enthused -- those days spent with Zenos and Fandaniel were the highlight of his entire life.

Fandaniel, dressed in the Maelstrom grand company outfit from EW, wraps his arm around Shun's throat to drag him away into the ascian portal behind them. Shun, far from fighting him off, instead eagerly clutches at his arm, encouraging him, and looking at him with an absolutely unhinged and too-eager grin.

Feline's Media @felinemedia.bsky.social · 28/04/2026

18 - Scions - Hyth When the Exarch finally managed to reach the Warrior of Light to tell him to 'throw open the gates' for that final time, something felt ... different, though he had no idea what. When a purple-haired Viera showed up instead of a brown-haired hyur, he was very much confused.

Urianger and the Exarch look on in confusion at Hythlodaeus, who is very much not who they expected to arrive in the First. All three are at the base of the stairs in front of the Ocular, with Hyth facing away from the camera and to them protesting that he doesn't know who they expected nor where he is, so if they could please direct him home, he'll gtfo. (If only it were that easy, Hyth.)

Feline's Media @felinemedia.bsky.social · 28/04/2026

17 - Shade - Hyth A ruined city grand in scale and equally steeped in melancholy. A beautiful, unforgettable sight, its people empty and barely there -- until one. How could he ever truly comprehend meeting a half-faded fraction of a memory created to match the man he was told he had once been?

In the depths of the Tempest, rabbit Hyth stands on a road in Amaurot, one hand reaching out with a single finger extended to meet that of shade Hyth's identical one, the shade kneeling in order to better reach the rabbit before it. Their fingers just barely connect, meeting right at the tip of the aetheryte crystal in the background, HOPEFULLY creating a sense of connection amidst the melancholy of Amaurot itself.

110

Feline's Media @felinemedia.bsky.social · 28/04/2026

16 - Cosmic - Hyth Sometimes on cloudless nights, Hyth would look up at the stars and wonder whether they were the ones from his dream; whether the crystal too that spoke to him so strangely might be up among those stars.

Rabbit Hyth sits on a mountain top staring up at the stars. A half moon is visible, casting soft illumination against him. There's probably more detail I could go into but I'm tired, so, sorry.

Feline's Media @felinemedia.bsky.social · 28/04/2026

15 - Spring - Hyth Spring in Garlemald was merely a lessening of the snow. While the entirety of the Norvrandt was novel in its warmth (or in some cases, and before he adjusted, its oppressive heat), to see a realm almost entirely blanketed by flowers... Spring or not, it was breath-taking.

Hyth kneels in Il Mheg, smiling almost reverently as he reaches out to pluck a single flower.

Feline's Media @felinemedia.bsky.social · 27/04/2026

14 - Waterside - Deimos Cast out from the crew he'd spent the last couple decades with, unwelcome in Limsa as a whole, there was little else to do but stare into his reflection in the water. Where he would go... Nothing was certain except that he would kill Garleans wherever he ended up.

Deimos sits on the corner-edge of a pier, staring at his reflection in the water, scythe in hand. His posture is dejected, but he's still manspreading like a whore as he so often does.

Feline's Media @felinemedia.bsky.social · 27/04/2026

13 - Generations - Shun Before him, a monster undeniable in form. Beside him a monster so much worse, a monster that his world now revolved around; his obsession. Two generations to create the monster beside him, yet only one for that monster to create the one before him. Beautiful.

Within the ruined halls of Garlemald, Anima screams in pain/horror. Framed on the left, Fandaniel dramatically makes a sweeping gesture, announcing the creature to Shun. To the right, in the foreground, Shun leans against Zenos, his right arm wrapped around Zenos' waist (to the extent he can reach, given how much smaller he is), while Zenos' left arm curls around Shun's shoulders possessively. The entire scene is lit in dramatic lighting, with stark contrasts between light on dark, particularly on Zenos and Fandaniel.

Feline's Media @felinemedia.bsky.social · 26/04/2026

I have been (unintentionally) reminded that I never posted this Selch screenshot here. Outfit mod by the incredibly skilled BlackJaque, who I can never heap enough praise on even if I were to shout it from the hilltops 24/7 until my dying day.

Emet-Selch/Solus gives a dramatic speech in the Imperial Throne Room, with the light shining from behind him and doing some dramatic illumination shenanigans. In the foreground, but blurry from the focus being further in, way too many Garlean soldiers do an imperial salute in response to whatever the speech is about (probably some rousing propaganda). And yes, I really mean WAY too many, it was like 30+ actors. Did you know Brio stops saying Brio Actor 1 and Brio Actor 2 and so on once you hit 20 and just starts saying Actor 21, Actor 22, etc.? Now I do...

Anyway, further behind Emet-Selch is Selch, standing closer to the throne in a pose with attitude, and subtly looking toward the camera while Emet-Selch gives his speech.

12 - Fear - Deimos A rumour in Garlemald. Whispers in the dark all try to ignore. A monstrous army that kills every man, woman, and child in any settlement it destroys. There is no hiding, no escape. No man, woman, nor child that witnesses this 'army' ever survives to correct the tale.

A child huddles behind a broken wall, clutching his legs in terror. Phobos' head peeks through an opening, his massive hands starting to claw in through the broken space. In the background, Deimos stalks forward, scythe in hand and voidsent eye visible, hunting down every last soul in this destroyed settlement.

11 - Hand Holding - Hyth In those final moments, his last breath upon his lips, Emet-Selch reached out to hold the hand of the one that he had driven to slay him, to the one he loved: Hythlodaeus. Two men in pain, one aching for who he had once known, the other for who he now could never know.

Emet-Selch lies on the floor of the Dying Gasp, defeated, with a hole of light through his torso. In his final moments, he has reverted to the appearance of Hades, and lifts his hand to hold Hyth's, who is kneeling at his side and looking mournfully down at him.

10 - Radiant - Hyth It was a long road leading up to the culmination of their fight against the Lightwardens, but the end was finally in sight. One last Warden left, and then the First would be saved, surely. Surely, there would be no complications or setbacks. Surely.

The various Scions and Rabbit Hythlodaeus stare down Innocence in combat-ready poses. The picture is framed from a camera angle just between Innocence' wings, staring down at the part with scepter raised.

09 - Field of Flowers - Hyth A sincere hope from two fading travelers, echoed across universes. (I do not have the energy for a proper caption, this gpose and editing took somewhere between 9+ and 10+ hours and every time I look at it I feel exhausted.)

Rabbit Hyth stands in the field of Elpis flowers at the end of Endwalker, with a fading Meteor-ancient and Hades watching on, with the newly-restored Scions present as well.

Dialogue--
Azem: I hope we meet again. If not in this life, then the next. Whenever it is, we will wait for you.

110

Feline's Media @felinemedia.bsky.social · 13/04/2026

08 - Stars - Hyth Emet-Selch, in any form, will forever be a sentimental old man. A man who, even tempered by the first primal, found a way to preserve memories of those he loves. And far beneath the sea, in a half-remembered ruin of what once was, sometimes he gets to present them himself.

Emet-Selch, in the form of Solus, stands in focus before rabbit Hyth, his hands cupping a soul stone made in Hyth-purple, with the constellation Ursa Minor in it. Polaris, the North Star, shines brightest and most notable near where the Azem stone normally has the center of the sun, with the constellation itself progressing down the stone (and altered slightly because apparently FFXIV doesn't recreate the constellations accurately?? WHY DO YOU DO THIS TO ME YOSHI-P HOW AM I SUPPOSED TO FIND THE RHYME OR REASON TO THESE DISTORTED NON-CONSTELLATIONS NONE OF THEM MAKE SEN--)

On-screen, there is a text box in FFXIV style that reads as follows:
Emet-Selch:
He was a singularly kind soul, one who could not help but brighten any room he entered. One for whom a great hero in his dying breath bestowed a singular power befitting his nature; the ability to bring forth all those who he had known and who he was cherished by--a not inconsiderable number, given his nature.

(Disclaimer: not vetted by anyone who ACTUALLY knows how Emet-Selch talks. I did my best...)

07 - Glamour - Deimos (Solution 9/Lance & my AU) During his time in Solution Nine, as a premiere fighter in/champion of the Arcadion, and despite his natural heel-like tendencies and oversized ego, his many fans flocked around Deimos everywhere he went. Not that he minded having his praises sung...

Deimos sits on a couch in Solution Nine in his Arcadion gear, manspreading like the arrogant whore he is, with his scythe draped over his lap. Around him are five assorted colour-coordinated fans, cheering and exclaiming and generally making a fuss over him. One is even taking a picture.

06 - Darkness - Hythlodaeus With Philia defeated, the First was treated to the sight of the night sky for the first time in a hundred years. (This is the only non-literal gpose as far as I recall for this month. I just couldn't resist the concept.)

Hythlodaeus aims his bow into the sky, the light splitting to reveal the night which is DEFINITELY not because I forgot there was no triumphant pose at the end of Holminster Switch, because that's definitely not what happened. I definitely remember ANYTHING about ShB, and am not doing this story replay purely because I don't remember it for shit and wanted to make actually good memories....

Feline's Media @felinemedia.bsky.social · 06/04/2026

05 - Cyber - Deimos When given a chance to forget the pain, the loss, the trauma, it would take an impossible will to resist. Deimos has an extraordinarily resilient soul.... but some opportunities are too tempting to pass up. (Thank you to Lance for letting me borrow our shared universe for this.)

Deimos sits on a bench in Solution Nine, holding a Regulator in his hands. The camera is sitting at a bird's eye view, preventing his face or his expression from being visible.

Feline's Media @felinemedia.bsky.social · 06/04/2026

04 - Grief - Shun In any universe where Shun is present at the End and Zenos dies, that is functionally the end of his story. The death of Fandaniel had nearly broken him already, and the second loss of him didn't help either. But Zenos? How can he ever go on without Zenos? ...He can't.

Shun leans against Zenos' chest in The End. Tears stream down his face as he clutches Zenos' outfit tightly, unwilling to let him go.

03 - Calamity - Deimos When Dalamud started to descend at the start of the voyage, the other sailors whispered about a curse. The captain insisted they sail on, and yet the skies only grew worse. They were in the open ocean as the Calamity hit its worst, the entire crew watching in petrified horror.

Deimos stands upon the bow of a ship, scythe in hand, staring up at the fall of Dalamud. Though far, FAR away from the Fields of Carteneau, it was nonetheless a terrifying, unsettling sight.

02 - Wounded - Hythlodaeus Try as he might, there was no way Hyth could have ever run fast enough across the burning, scorching sands to reach Tesleen in time. All he could do was watch on in despair as she was run through, and then in horror as she transformed and flew away.

Rabbit Hyth races toward Tesleen as she's run through by the light warden Forgiven Dissonance, who appears from off screen right. Haldric watches on passively the entire time.

Feline's Media @felinemedia.bsky.social · 02/04/2026

01 - Sunrise - Deimos Mjara wanted a new name. His mate picked it for him. ‟You are my morning sun, breaking through the darkness and fear to bring safety and light to all you touch. You are the day, dawning bright and beautiful and warm upon my skin. You will be... Deimos.”

From Deimos' mate's perspective (technically over his head and between his ears), the viewer sees Deimos, at the time Mjara, as he was before the death of his mate, healthy and whole and utterly in love. A soft smile warms his face as he reaches out a hand for his mate to take. His bow and quiver rest on his back unsheathed, his hair has yet to grow beyond his shoulders, and his eyes are both still in place, untouched by violence or the void.

He is, for this all-too-brief chapter in his life, happy and at peace.

Years later, assigned to the Ruby Sea in Othard, he managed to escape to Kugane with the kojin's assistance. Once there, he worked until he could purchase passage on a ship to Limsa Lominsa. On that fateful voyage, he met a pair of twins and a helpful man, and an immutable series of events began.

Feline's Media @felinemedia.bsky.social · 31/03/2026

And above that... He dreamed. He dreamed of a crystal, of three words of instruction. It was as he awoke from one such dream that he spied smoke rising from his community. He arrived to find his home in flames, and the few survivors being conscripted into the Garlean army, a fate he soon shared.

Feline's Media @felinemedia.bsky.social · 31/03/2026

Thousands of years later, that shard of Hythlodaeus -- of Azem -- was born to a community of viera living in the furthest mountain reaches on the outskirts of Garlemald, having been driven from their original homes hundreds of years prior. He lived, he hunted, he defended their territory.

100

Feline's Media @felinemedia.bsky.social · 31/03/2026

Lives were given, the first primal born, and the skies calmed. Hythlodaeus had survived, as had the unremarkable family he had been protecting mere moments earlier. Yet that family did not rejoice, instead trembling in fear. Could it happen again? Far away, a sword laid the path to a new future.

110

Feline's Media @felinemedia.bsky.social · 31/03/2026

When the sacrifices and summoning was proposed, Hythlodaeus opposed them, knowing his beloved could never have stomached them. When he was overruled, though it broke both his heart, he turned his face from the Convocation, leaving to help what people he could while they enacted their terrible plan.

110

Feline's Media @felinemedia.bsky.social · 31/03/2026

No longer would Hythlodaeus lack the strength to keep up with those around him. It was the last gift he could offer, and one that would save the world. When the Beast was felled, Hythlodaeus was elevated to the Seat of Azem, at least so long as the world remained in crisis.

110

Feline's Media @felinemedia.bsky.social · 31/03/2026

He merged his mind, his soul, ever bit of him he could with his love, and it was as they shared one final embrace that his heart stilled, the last breath falling from his lips. In dying, he left a part of himself in Hythlodaeus. A piece of his mind, as with Lahabrea, but also a piece of his power.

110

Feline's Media @felinemedia.bsky.social · 31/03/2026

Lahabrea had once reported to the Convocation of a merging of minds with Athena years earlier. Seeing the writing on the wall of his time running out, Azem could only try to replicate the process. Even as his loves refused to accept that he was dying, Azem reached out to Hythlodaeus.

110

Feline's Media @felinemedia.bsky.social · 31/03/2026

2️⃣ In another universe, as the Final Days ravaged the world, the First Beast changed history as it struck Azem down. Emet-Selch rushed to the fore, holding the Beast off to allow Hythlodaeus & Azem to retreat, but the damage was done. Even True Benediction couldn't save the hero cradled in his arms.

Feline's Media @felinemedia.bsky.social · 31/03/2026

Plucking him from the furthest reaches of the snowy mountains surrounding Garlemald, she bestowed upon him her final Blessing, using all but the very last of her strength to do what she could -- and to ensure the Exarch's summoning attempting to bring the fallen Champion reached Hythlodaeus instead.

000

Feline's Media @felinemedia.bsky.social · 31/03/2026

None held quite the same power as the shard of Azem had, and yet... It was not Azem's hard that had visited the ancient world in her memories. It was not Azem's shard that Emet-Selch had faltered before in that shared tale. It was Hythlodaeus -- changed, yet still recognizable.

Thousands of years later, Estinien did not arrive in time to save the Warrior of Light from Elidizenos, recovering only his body rather than saving him. With her Champion slain and his next incarnation too far away to arrive in time for the events in motion, Hydaelyn was forced to find a new hero.
