Happy Nameday to Yoshio! Hope you guys had fun! :D

That’s okay! There’s plenty of side quests to do around, so you never feel there’s nothing to be done! It’s a big content of things! Even I am slowly trying to do more side quests while waiting for Evercold 🤣

You’re welcome!! Oh man, Squid Games? I can see why LOL The obstacles from Fall Guys makes you wanna not fall off while racing! The GATEs are great too! I do that once in a while though 🤣

He even turned his head away like Malakai was the unreasonable one. 😂

As for how Fenix developed his weird fondness for Ishgardian tarts... Malakai once left a tart unattended for thirty seconds, came back to an empty plate, and Fenix spent the next several minutes acting deeply offended by the accusation, despite having crumbs stuck around his beak!

Of course! You’ve got some cool cats! :D

A second version with a different lighting here:

I want to hear more about other people and give them more room to talk about themselves too, you know?

Just realized I have a habit of bringing up my own experiences when I’m trying to relate to someone and I need to acknowledge that it can end up turning the conversation back toward me 😅 Definitely something I want to be more mindful of and work on going forward! +

(I went off topic from the last post 😅) I can see why that would feel off if you care a lot about keeping Casca true to who he is. Also if a bandwagon just doesn’t feel fun or right for you, that’s totally okay too! If one comes along that genuinely excites you though, then have fun with it!

When it comes to battle, Fenix knows it’s time to be serious. He’s incredibly loyal and protective of Malakai.

Malakai’s chocobo is a red chocobo named Fenix Cendre, though he mainly calls him Fenix. He’s curious, stubborn, really expressive, and definitely judges his owner sometimes. He also somehow developed a taste for Ishgardian tarts. #Malakai_Lore

It’s totally okay not to! Do what you feel is best for you! I should do this more often tbh. I suppose it’s hard to get any inspirations for mine and or I try to make it look perfect. But yeah sometimes I wanna jump into a few bandwagon for funsies!

That’s okay! Even the ones in your account helps! All good, Alex! (:

Send a reference of your WoLs! I forgot to mention that!

I think I missed about four Elftober prompts. I’ll work on them soon when I can!

It’s posing, composition, and searching for locations that are the most difficult! I look for a scenery which would capture the atmosphere/mood I want to portray! As for the lighting, I make use of the in-game natural lights. I am pretty much learning as I go, so I kinda wing it at times.

Malakai Vanhreil | FFXIV @freelancer-dragoon.bsky.social · 07/10/2026

Of course! Feel free to send a reference! (:

That’s awesome! You did a great job! The timing couldn’t be better! The whole atmosphere really captured the bittersweetness and closure between them 😭 How did she feel about this?

Thanks Ghostly! I would love to draw your adorable cat! 🐱

I’m thinking of doing WoLtober soon. I was wondering if anyone here is okay with me drawing a headshot sketch of them at some point? It’s not a commission. Just a free doodle to practice drawing different races! 👀

character, please don’t 🥲 It just doesn’t feel good for said person who made a lot of effort and love they poured into their character to hear that, you know? It doesn’t cost to be kind! Make someone’s day better instead! (I had to let this out there!)

OKAY I barely post about general stuff but I saw something And I just wanna say that if people are gonna comment under someone’s post and suddenly say, as an example: a character’s personality does not match this pose or expression etc If you don’t have nice things to say about someone’s +

Ooh! So that’s what it is! I’ve been seeing a ton of them going around on my feeds. It looks pretty fun. Thanks for explaining this, Lady Cait’alla! :D ✨

This is a silly question to ask but What exactly is an AP event in the FFXIV community? #FFXIV

Hey! Nice to meet you! I have one character who is a WoL named Malakai Vanhreil! Malakai: 🐉🛡️👑

Malakai Vanhreil | FFXIV @freelancer-dragoon.bsky.social · 05/10/2026

There’s still so much of him I want to put out there! Thanks for sticking around and enjoying him with me!!

Malakai Vanhreil | FFXIV @freelancer-dragoon.bsky.social · 05/10/2026

I may not have the biggest following here but I really appreciate everyone who sticks around and enjoys what I share ❤️ I don’t always gush about Malakai and or ramble about his lore as much as I’d like, but I’m slowly trying to share more. +
