a collection of things i drew for the most recent patch (+ screenshots that made me smile lol) im so excited for evercold!! YAYYY ❄️ #swiftclawART #7.56spoilers

on the left there is a screencap redraw of halmarut and calyx looking at the viewer with the caption "my blue pill and red pill"

below that is Visna with her pink hair, and an edited version of her to the right with red hair because i think she'd look cute with red hair.

to the right is a drawing of halamut looking annoyed and asking why calyx would tell the warrior of light where they were going. above that, she's imagining herself punching calyx in his little plush stomach.

on the left is a screenshot of suri holding two glowing objects with the caption "I love when suri is standing in the cinematic void holding their favorite toys".

to the right of that is a screenshot of suri sitting, with their feet not touching the ground because they're short.

below that is a screenshot of suri sprawled on the ground.

below that is a drawing of alphinaud, suri, and estinien. alphinaud and suri are cold, while estinien is unbothered and looking smug.

With Evercold on the horizon and 7.56 MSQ featuring our intro to the Fourth and its Nordic inspirations, I wanted to share all the neat cultural references from this patch! It brought me so much joy to see my history in my favorite game. Spoilers below!🧵

TW: CSAM and IRL pedophilia, child abuse / exploitation / trauma a clearer summary re: the news about individuals in the xiv community who distributed CSAM. i hope this and the list of the offenders helps folks who want to protect themselves without reading more potentially triggering material.

09/18/26: XIV modders and CSAM

briefest possible summary: a group of people who were in the XIV community were found to be discussing sharing illegal CSAM in a Matrix group (while the CSAM in question was distributed via another program called Session). this case involves actual verifiable CSAM, not the mistaken conflation of artwork or 3DCG modded material for abuse material. an informant reported the group and has now shared the accounts of the participants actively discussing CSAM.

the leader of the abuse group, Regena, advertised their Matrix group on a Mastodon instance post in early july of this year. Discord was not involved.

currently the claim that this occurred or began in the XIV Kitten modding Discord does not have any evidence, and appears to be misinformation from the most notable post of the day mentioned below.
this news first gained notice from a twt/X post this morning, 09/18/2026 by Geneva Abrichter (@DoctorAbrichter), which flat-out misinformed everyone about the actual abusers in question and which the account later apologized for (see https://x.com/DoctorAbrichter/status/2100989548255985771).
given their track record i would not trust them for additional information about this case.

the user Chuuni Doll created their disclosure/PSA video about the topic on 09/12/2026, several days prior (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KlvUMsU_d-A). it summarizes the full details and evidence logs from the proton doc, and contains disturbing chat log snippets (albeit censored ones since it is on YouTube).
the actual primary source of the information was an informer going by Kurumi who had brief access to the chat group. their screencaps and logs were collected in the video and full proton doc posted by Chuuni Doll.

the doc also includes the proof to connect the Matrix group IDs of individuals like @xivbestiary to their main account, Noffletoff/Noff.

Table of "Super Secret Channel" Room Members and their user handles in Matrix (All members were invited to the room by Regena (@regena)):

- Regena (@regena): xiv: Ertran Dalmasca, aethy @Regena (deleted), baraag @Regena (deleted)
- Nav (@van)
- @mephidross: omitted (was kicked before CSAM discussions took place)
- kitt: xiv: Rayne Araya, aethy @Kitt (deleted)
- honeysuckle: xiv: Honey Sundae, aethy @honeysuckle (deleted)
- bestestestpuppy: omitted due to a lack of chat log evidence
- BHLala (@toastdamoast): aethy @BlueHairLala (deleted)
- astralsight: xiv: Night Astra, aethy @astralseeing (deleted)
- Nibbles (@xivbestiary): xiv: Doctor Noffletoff, xivbestiary.fanbox.cc, baraag @DocNoff
- Kurumi (informant): omitted (was present for CSAM discussions, left soon after, and eventually informed others about the group and shared messages with the matrix service admins)
- Iruru (@iruru): aethy @iruru
- @depopola: omitted (no evidence that they witnessed any CSAM discussions + plausible and verified explanation for being invited to the room)
- @duckyychan: omitted (no evidence that they witnessed any CSAM discussions)
- @milly-e: omitted (provided their own set of message keys that prove they did not witness any CSAM discussions)
- @rindeboy: omitted (no evidence that they witnessed any CSAM discussions)

All remaining members were kicked at around 2026-08-17 22:22:00, around the same time Regena posted a warning claiming that the informant was "going around accusing other people of being into CSAM".

Additional mention: ☢️ Kiraxiv (@kiraraxiv) / Kykykra Kyra -- not a member but sent CSAM to the informant.

Hello Everyone! For the past 2 years of my life, I have been getting sick back to back. At first I believed it to be mere seasonal allergies or just the flu or a weak immune system in general. But a recent doctors visit has shown some light on what maybe occurring. ko-fi.com/bearistas/go...

Guidelines:
Animation Length can be up to 30 seconds total.
Final video will include animation, audio, effects and editing in the same style as my regular videos.
Default audio is what I record from FFXIV. If you want anything specific, like a voice clip, or something from another source, please send me the file.
I will need your character settings, a file of them, or meet you in game to copy them before I start!
Mods are ok! If you use any mods, please send me those files. (sometimes I have technical issues with them, so please be patient!)

Pricing:
Final cost will depend on your specific idea and its complexity.
We will discuss and agree on everything before I begin!

Standard, up to two characters: $35 per second
More characters, or more time-consuming animation: $45 per second (detailed kissing, lip sync, complex hugs, etc)

I will request 50% upfront when I start animating, then the other 50% when I send you the final project!

I hope everything sounds reasonable.
If you have any questions or feedback I’m always happy to talk! DMs are always open.

When a good and decent person leaves this world, I think the best thing we can do to honor them is to try to put even more goodness and decency into the world. It's not that we can replace them or their contribution. It's just that we need it all the more now that they're gone.
