The Garuda minion perches cutely on Claude's shoulder TTOTT ❤️

Claude Dubois, an elf man with red-brown hair, blue eyes and glasses, wearing a black dress decorated with purple roses, poses with his tiny Garuda minion. She is a white and green winged bird woman, and is perched on his shoulder.

I really want normal-looking creature options without any crazy effects, glowing, sparkling, etc. Just. Normal brown horse. Giant hawk/falcon that doesn't glow.

Four Lords/Stormblood FFXIV spoilers Having a Bard main WoL who loves Z/enos, and then fighting Suzaku has got me in my feelings. All the doomed lovers in FFXIV remind me of #Zenoswol idk, is this anything?

Sukazu's dialogue from Hells' Kier Trial:
Suzaku: Tenzen? Tenzen, 'tis I! Sheathe your sword, I beg of you!
Suzaku: You gave me the strength to rise from the ashes!
Suzaku: Let there be no more secrets between us...
Suzaku: I could not bear to lose you again!
Suzaku: I never showed you my true form, did I...?
Suzaku: Trust in me, my love! I will protect you─I promise!
Suzaku: Please, my love─ If only you would listen...
Suzaku: Why do you do this!?
Suzaku: All I ever wanted was for you and I to...to...
Suzaku: Hearken to my melody...
Suzaku: All I ever wanted was for you and I to...to...
Suzaku: Tenzen, please!
Suzaku: You never did make it easy, did you?
Suzaku: We will wake you from this madness!
Suzaku: If it must be thus, then I'm glad...it is you...

A Milan Kundera quote that I keep thinking about that is unfortunately very very applicable to the here and now: "Totalitarianism is not only hell, but also the dream of paradise—the age-old dream of a world where everybody would live in harmony, united by a single common will and faith, 1/4

Happy (Belated) Birthday to my good friend @houndsprince.bsky.social ! I truly hope Claude gets to reunite with his problematic fav some day~<3 #fanart #ffxiv #zenos #zenoswol #nsfw #blood #elfenjoyers

A digital illustration of a lithe, freckled, male elezen (ffxiv) names Claude, sitting atop the hips of big huge beautiful buxom blond Zenos, who is grabbing his red hair (Default Dawntrail Meteor hairstyle) and pulling his head back while he gasps in pleasure, back arched, coming as he frots against Zenos’ big dripping dick. By the mess he’s made of his stomach, it isn’t the first time he’s cum. Zenos holds his foot, anchoring him, and his hand next to Claude’s looks just massive. Both of them have various fresh injuries and bruises— it seems as though they have been fighting eachother very recently. Claude has a bloody nose that has been wiped away, bleeding cuts on his ribs and one on his upper thigh (where a hint of a tan line can be seen), and bruises on his hips, wrist, throat and face. Zenos has a scraped cheek, a fresh mark on his ribs and a cut on his shoulder and he is biting his own lip bloody as he watches the man come undone on top of him. They appear to be in a bed with plain off-white sheets and a blurry background suggests the feeling of purple dawn or dusk like through evergreens. Zeno’s tits look pillowy and inviting and show off a single tiny mole or freckle. Claude’s glasses lay forgotten on the bed beside them.

i hate how much people care about their ships being "canon" now. spirk fans didn't publish zines full of fanfics in the 70s only for modern fandom to grovel at the knees of corporations and beg for things to be canon. use your imaginations, don't allow billionaires to think for you.

Higher and Higher Testing some things out in my sketchbook. Based on the trees along northern California pasture and the striking memory of egrets in a empty blue sky. Also that very last shot in Cowboy Bebop, goddamn.

From bottom to top: a field, a line of trees silhouetted against distant hills, then the blue sky which dominates the composition: white at the horizon and gradually becoming dark indigo at the zenith, and in the center a large, white dragon-like creature with wings like an albatross flies into the distance.

Zenos punched Claude so hard it split his cheek open and damaged his eyes such that he now has to wear glasses. Still, in way he's glad the scar will persist.

My Warrior of Light, Claude Dubois, wiping sweat from his brow. He is a wildwood elezen (elf) man with freckles and red brown hair tied back in a messy ponytail, loose strands falling into his face. He wears a black tank top, gloves, a necklace with a turquiose point, and simple round glasses. His left cheek has a scar that runs from beneath his eye to under his ear. In the background are some crates and a lamp in Tertium, Garlemald.

Zoomed out view of previous. In this gpose his black and gold gun is visible, holstered on his back.

Possibly the best photograph taken of me and my partner, ever. Eat your heart out Frank Frazetta & Tom Jung!! Taken at Glacier Point, Yosemite National Park.

A very tall photograph taken at Glacier Point, Yosemite National Park. In the background are granite cliffs, and center is Half Dome, lit with golden hour light, long shadows stretching behind it in the valley. Above is a cloudless, blue sky. In the foreground are two people, dressed in hiking clothing, on a jutting rock. One is standing, hand raised in triumph, the other, sitting at their feet, holds their leg and looks off dramatically to the side. The pose is reminiscent of the fantasy art of Frank Frazetta or the poster work of Tom Jung.

I didn't intend to make this at first, but that screenshot with Zenos turned out too perfect. Based on this post: www.tumblr.com/borealing/72...

A four-panel comic featuring my Warrior of Light, Claude Dubois, based on a comic translated from a Chinese tik tok (or similar video).
P1: Claude is not yet wearing sunglasses, "i really like wearing sunglasses"
P2: Claude has put on a pair of sunglasses with giant flowers around the rims, "as long as you wear them"
P3: "no one can tell what youre looking at."
P4: Claude is looking directly at Zenos' crotch as the latter meditates and floats in midair.

Like, y'all, I cannot emphasize enough how often I'll think about Zenos getting to live a full life, growing old with my WoL, Claude, and it makes me dizzy. I just want a modicum of grace and kindness for this man.

And day to day, life's a hard job, you get tired, you lose the pattern. You need distance, interval. The way to see how beautiful the earth is, is to see it as the moon. The way to see how beautiful life is, is from the vantage point of death.

#wolzenos #zenoswol LAUGHS LOUDLY I took this quiz from Claude's perspective with Zenos as partner in mind and... YEAH...

The results of a "BDSM Archetype" quiz I took for my Warrior of Light, Claude, and his ideal partner (Zenos).
Your Archetype: The Shapeshifter
Switch, Hunter, Rope Bunny
You chase and you run. Predator and prey live in the same body.
When You Lead: The Stalker
You chase to protect. The hunt ends in your arms, and what you catch, you keep safe.
When You Follow: The Rabbit
You run until you're caught and tied up. The chase ends in rope, and that's where you breathe.

Your Partner
The Rabbit
Submissive-Leaning, Hunter, Prey
You run until you're caught and tied up. The chase ends in rope and that's where you breathe.

Exploration: Medium
Sensation: Medium

Your Prediction vs. Reality:
Predicted: Service Bottom, Nurturer
Actual: Hunter, Rope Bunny

Strong:
Hunter: 93% You chase, you catch, you pin. The pursuit is half the fun.
Rope Bunny: 83% Being tied up is where you relax. You like the rope, the restriction, the surrender.
Prey: 78% You run. You want to be caught, but you're going to make them work for it.
Nurturer: 75% You take care of people. Protecting, guiding, and holding someone together is how you lead.

Hourly Comics Day 2026! I took notes all day, drew a little the day of, and I hope to finish them slowly this week. But I'm working on a Valentine's Day gift, and that takes precedent! Here's what I have thus far... #hourlycomicday #hourlycomicsday #hourlies

Hourly Comics Day 2026:
12 am Wikipedia Diving with Girlfriend!
Examples include the "Holy Prepuce" and the "Mellified Man." I've drawn myself in black and white as a little cartoon with huge glasses and short hair. I'm sitting at my desk in my bathrobe, wearing a headset, cup between my hands. I say, "Humans are so fucking weird." My girlfriend replies over the call, "And now you get to put this in your hourlies!" I've written the date: 1/8/2026 Sunday
Next Panel:
Girlfriend: I finished my blacksmith crafts for the Pteranodon!
Me: (looking excited) Awesome! What do you have left?
Girlfriend: ... ALL the other classes (crying face kaomoji)

1 am Pining
Me: (I am leaning back in my computer chair, crying) I miss you! I'm excited for you to visit this week! What groceries should I get?
Girlfriend: I miss you! And I want tteokbokki!!

Next Panel:
Me: (I lean sadly on my desk) We should sleep.
Girlfriend: We should.
Me: But I don't wanna. I want to spend more time with you.
Girlfriend: I want to spend more time with you!

2 am
Brushy Teeth (I am brushing my teeth)

Dicking around on the internet (I am laying in bed, snuggled under the covers, phone close to my face)

3 am Sleep
I have drawn myself very small in the center of the frame, sleeping.

It was my found sibling @etherelleart.bsky.social’s birthday recently and this was my gift to them~ Their #ffxiv #WoL, Wyra’li, sneaking a moment with the studious #G’rahaTia <3

A digital illustration in color of two cat boys from the the critically acclaimed MMORPG Final Fantasy XIV with an expanded free trial in which you can play through the entirety of A Realm Reborn and the award-winning Heavensward, and thrilling Stormblood expansions up to level 70 for free with no restrictions on playtime.

They are standing in front of a stylized bookshelf. One of the cats (my sib’s OC Wyra’li) has warm grey skin and pale mint hair/fur and is wearing a white shirt and apron. The other catboy is universally-beloved G’raha Tia, a red haired/furred guy in a black, red and gold adventuring outfit.

G’raha is holding a book which Wyra’li is gently closing while he leans in to kiss him as if to say the time for studying is over. G’raha is blushing and his tail is fluffed out in surprised, his ears pointing straight up.
