Kerfuffle @kerfuffle.bsky.social · 04/10/2026

First year doing a Halloween glam and of course I choose some weeb nonsense. (Tai's an alchemist, that alchemy is basically magic anyway, he has the braid, it makes SENSE.) #FFXIV

Tai (a miqo'te man with pale skin, brown hair in a braid and long bangs pulled to the side, turquoise eyes, and dark markings around his eyes) dressed as a fantasy version of Edward Elric from Fullmetal Alchemist: long red coat with some black accents, black undercoat, white gloves with markings on the back. He stands in a cozily-lit, dark-palette room, looking thoughtfully at a bookshelf.

Tai standing in a gray wasteland, with some vaguely fantasy/old Germanic-looking builings in the background and some sort of purple electrical disaster contained in some ruins. He is dressed as Edward and has punched one hand with the other, glaring at the camera. Behind him, an iron dwarf minion (a little suit of armor, meant to represent Alphonse Elric) seems to be cheering.

Tai in the same gray wasteland as before, kneeling with the camera slightly tilted up. He is in the middle of some glowing leylines, which are slightly lifted from the ground, reminiscent of a transmutation circle. The little iron dwarf observes.

Tai back in the cozy dark room, now sitting on a stool at an alchemy workbench. He has his hands laced behind his head and leans back, showing off the leather pants and black, red-soled boots, and looking up at a poster on the wall showing a magic diagram. The workspace has bottles of reagents, herbs, notes stacked on the floor and pinned to the walls, and other alchemical accoutrement. The iron dwarf still observes, standing near Tai's feet.

Kerfuffle @kerfuffle.bsky.social · 30/09/2026

No idea if this is going anywhere, but the interaction came to me in a vision. Sorry, Tai. #FFXIV #WoLianger #KerfuffleArt

"He does like men, you know."

Tai starts at the sound of Thancred's voice. The pages of his book snap back into focus, although he has no recollection of where he left off. Thancred smirks slightly where he stands at Tai's side.

"I'm sorry," he says mildly. "I must have missed something. Hello to you, too."

Thancred's smirk widens. He drops himself into an empty chair, takes a swig from his tankard, and nods toward the other side of the room. "Urianger, I mean." The man in question is engaged in some lively debate with Y'shtola and another Scion whose name has slipped Tai's mind. Tai had, perhaps, looked over once or twice, but did not see a need to interrupt.

Instead, he blinks at his own interruption, eyebrows raised. "Okay," he says. "Good to know?"

"He told me once over drinks, ages ago." Thancred continues, shrugging in feigned casualness. "Mind you, it's not a secret, if that is your concern. Said it simply does not come up often. Seemed like that might interest you."

"I can't imagine why," Tai lies flatly.

Thancred's chair creaks as the man leans forward and folds his arms on the table. Tai feels a knot of dread tighten in his belly. "While others might not notice," Thancred begins, "I couldn't help but observe that although you hold your book as though to read, your gaze is slightly raised. You haven't turned a page in five minutes. And, of course, there is a certain pathetic face you make whenever you stare at him for too long."

Tai tries to keep a straight face, but cannot help agitatedly flicking one ear. Yes, perhaps he had been distracted for a moment by the pale curve of Urianger's back where his robes cut enticingly low, and yes, he had noticed the fine gold chains that ran between Urianger's collar and pauldron to rest against his skin, and perhaps had imagined twisting them around his fingers and giving them a little tug—

He clears his throat and looks pointedly back down at his book. "I see nothing wrong with privately admiring a comrade's appearance," he replies primly.

Thancred chuckles quietly. "I would be the last to disagree, but I'm not sure if you're trying to convince me or yourself."

There's a solution, but it's not as fun. #FFXIV #Wolianger

Digital sketch of Urianger and WoL!Tai from the shoulders up, still in an embrace. Urianger has his head tipped back, one eye just barely open to look down at Tai, as Tai kisses his throat; he has a hand on Tai's neck, thumb under his jaw. Tai looks a bit smug. Dialogue:

Urianger: Mm... a shame we must continue to meet in secret like this...
Tai: Could always end the contest sooner if you let my Promise win.
Urianger: Not a chance, eo.

Sometimes, you accidentally get together right before one of you has to travel, then you both end up across the sea to support opposing contestants in a rite of succession, and you have to sneak away to smooch when you happen to share a campsite. Just happens. #KerfuffleArt #FFXIV #wolianger

Monochrome digital drawing of Urianger from FFXIV and Tai (a miqo'te man with long hair in a braid, wearing stylish asymmetrical robes with thigh-high boots and fingerless gloves). They are sneakily making out behind a wood-and-tile building, Urianger backed against the wall and slouching slightly as Tai kisses his neck with a smirk.

Kerfuffle @kerfuffle.bsky.social · 30/08/2026

The house is more space than he needs, honestly. The apartment would have been fine if not for the desire to separate his alchemy setup and his bedroom. But sometimes it's worth it. -- House is finally done enough to unlock the door. And I like my little lofted den. :3c #FFXIV

Screenshot of the inside of a house in Final Fantasy 14. It shows a lofted living room area with big windows, a black leather couch and light coffee table, and a blue rug, with a fireplace against the right wall. Wooden slats line the edge and there are bookshelves off in the background. Tai sits on the couch, looking to the side with a book in his hands as late afternoon light streams in over the space.

Same space, now zoomed in to show more of the couch and table. A painting is now visible on the inner wall, as well as some miscellaneous papers, a cup, and an hourglass on the table.

Kerfuffle @kerfuffle.bsky.social · 11/08/2026

Not sure what to call it when you spend so much time cleaning up a sketch that it feels disingenuous to call it a sketch, but anyway I put Urianger in a suit #FFXIV #KerfuffleArt

Digital sketch of Urianger from FFXIV from the hips up, walking somewhere as he looks to the side. He is wearing a dark suit with the jacket unbuttoned, a light waistcoat with constellation embroidery, dark shirt, and a dark tie with a complicated knot and a moon tie chain. He also has an overcoat held over his shoulder.

Kerfuffle @kerfuffle.bsky.social · 09/08/2026

Saw a glamour timeline shared, found it too low-res for my tastes, lost my mind, made a custom one yesterday while also hunting down old screenshots and recreating at least one glamour from memory. Don't be like me, kids. #FFXIV (I'm not making an Evercold one until it gets here you can't make me)

An image labelled "WoL Glamour Timeline" on a dark-gray background with light gray accents. There are six sets of frames, staggered slightly top and bottom, labelled for each of the expansions of Final Fantasy 14. Each set of frames shows Tai in a different outfit, showcasing what he wore during each expansion. He generally favors long, dramatic coats with blue and blue/green coloring. Text at the bottom gives some commentary on some of the outfits.

Kerfuffle @kerfuffle.bsky.social · 09/08/2026

Tai's revenge (the person in question is some unimportant NPC but they don't need to know that). ft. @mirdika.bsky.social 's Hikaru and Syrhbryda of another friend's #FFXIV #Wolianger #KerfuffleArt

A black-and-white digital comic.
Characters:

Tai, a Miqo'te man with styled medium hair in a braid, a small goatee, and a dark overcoat with a waistcoat
Hikaru, a Au'ra man with light hair, dark skin, darker dragon-like scales on his face and arms, and an open sleeveless overcoat
Syrhbryda (Bryda): a lighter-skinned Roegadyn woman with dark hair in a low ponytail, wearing a tank-sleeve dress

Panel 1: Everyone sitting at a square table with ale mugs, Tai and Hikaru on opposite sides and Bryda between them. Dialogue:
Hikaru: "So. When are you going to make a move on Urianger?"
Tai: "When and if I decide to."
Hikaru: "Booo. He'd say yes."

Panel 2: Tai looks extremely unimpressed, but in a tired way that suggests this is not new. He says, "Setting aside the fact that no one knows what he's thinking, ever--Do you think for some reason that I am incapable of courting someone on my own?"

Panel 3: Camera at the empty side of the table to show Hikaru on the left, grinning teasingly, Bryda in the middle with a thoughtful look, and Tai on the right looking mildly annoyed again. Dialogue:

Hikaru: "Are you? Since you do keep stalling..."
Tai: "I am in my 30s. I have had multiple serious and casual relationships--"
Hikaru, interrupting: "What, in school?"
Tai, finishing: "--including since I joined the Scions."
Bryda: "I mean, I did always think there was a non-zero chance you'd never even bedded someone..."

Panel 4: Small chibi of just Tai with his hands folded on the table, digesting this annoying statement.

Panel 5: Zoomed out slightly to show all three of them still. Tai gets to his feet to leave and says, with a satisfied smile, "I've had a one-off encounter with someone you both have met." This makes Hikaru choke on his ale and Bryda jump up, slamming her hands on the table as she yells "WHAT. WHO." Tai finishes, "Good night, my friends."

Kerfuffle @kerfuffle.bsky.social · 22/07/2026

In which I explore the canon getting-together of Tai and Urianger (in my heart), but also all of Tai's fellow WoL friends tease him mercilessly (and sometimes support him). Featuring @mirdika.bsky.social 's Hikaru. #FFXIV #WoLianger #KerfuffleArt #UriangerAugerelt

A black-and-white digital comic.
Characters:
Urianger from FFXIV
Tai, a miqo'te man with styled medium hair in a braid, a small goatee, and a dark overcoat with a waistcoat
Hikaru, a Au'ra man with light hair, dark skin, darker dragon-like scales on his face and arms, and an open sleeveless overcoat

Panel 1: Urianger stands addressing someone offscreen, arms folded thoughtfully. He says, "My friends, there is a question I would ask thee... What does thou think... of mine appearance?"

Panel 2: Tai and Hikaru stand next to each other, looking toward Urianger. Hikaru is smiling and giving a thumbs-up, and says, "Looks great!" Tai seems to be looking down slightly, thinking.

Panel 3: Barely changed from panel 2. Tai looks up, a very faint blush on his cheeks, and says, "It... suits you well." Hikaru is instantly suspicious.

Panel 4: Urianger has walked off into the background to mess with bookshelves. Hikaru and Tai are viewed from behind as Hikaru looks down with a teasing grin at an annoyed Tai, whose ears are flat in annoyance. Dialogue:
Hikaru: "What was that?"
Tai: "What was what."
Hikaru: "You're into him."
Tai, flatly: "What."
Hikaru, teasingly: "It suits you weelll"
Tai: "It was a benign compliment."

Panel 5: Back to viewing them from the front, so we see Tai being annoyed and Hikaru teasingly leaning forward. Hikaru says, "Oh,please. You're literally looking at his back right n--", but Tai interrupts him by shoving his hand in Hikaru's face, and Hikaru finishes with a delayed, "-ow."

Next in cocktails based on job stones, astrologian! Sweet and a little mysterious. Great for sipping on while you contemplate the meanings of the universe, or study your esoteric language dictionary. #cocktails #FFXIV #KerfuffleArt

A cocktail glass with a raised diamond pattern, containing a golden liquid and a large round ice sphere, with a curled orange peel garnish. It sits in front of a dark background, with a couple of old-looking books with notes sticking out of them and a dragon-decorated hourglass sit in the midground. The soul stone for the astrologian class in FFXIV sits in the top right corner as a comparison; it is a round, caramel-colored stone with an insignia resembling a couple of cards.

Apparently, I am done writing.

Mona the cat standing with one paw on a notebook that is laid open on a bed, with a green fountain pen lying between the pages. A few sentences have been written. They might be WoLship nonsense but that is irrelevant at this moment.

Mona the cat now lying across the notebook, still looking partway toward the camera. She is lying on the pen, too, which is probably bad for the fancy nib and also now I can't cap it.

Mona the cat is fully relaxed, her head turned away and lying on her paws as though she plans to sleep there.

WoL!Tai (a mi'qote man with brown hair with long bangs on the side, a dark green collared outfit with sleeves shortened above the elbow, and some mage's cord wraps on his forearms/hands) holding a book, evidently mid-study. He is looking off to the side as if something caught his attention. The pink/purple/blue lighting behind him suggests he is Extremely Bisexual.

I had two potential WoL ships bouncing around in my head, and then that conversation with Urianger on the moon happened, and now I have three and I couldn't get anything done until I did this #FFXIV #WoLship #whatisthisshipnamefuck #KerfuffleArt

Digital sketches with a pencil brush on a light gray background, next to each other in sequence.

Left: Urianger and WoL!Tai (a mi'qote man with a braid and open-collar shirt), standing closely together. Tai looks up at Urianger through his lashes, one hand raised toward Urianger's face. Urianger looks slightly surprised and uncertain, one hand half-raised between the two of them like he's unsure what to do. Tai's dialogue reads, "I am no stranger to regrets, either. But if I've forgiven you, then . . ."

Right: The same set-up, but they have now moved in closer to share a tentative kiss. Urianger's hand rests lightly on Tai's arm now, still uncertain but not unwilling. Tai lightly touches Urianger's cheek with his raised hand. Tai's dialogue finishes, "Maybe we both deserve something better."

Made it to Endwalker, spent at least an hour in the Sharlayan nap rooms for an Expansion Glam Update (also everyone was already wearing one of his favorite coats there whoops). #FFXIV

OC Tai as a Mi'qote in Final Fantasy 14, wearing an open jacket that has been dyed dark green over a brownish-black shirt unbutton halfway down the chest, white pants, and fingerless gloves with straps that wrap up the forearms and end in silver bands. Also has some magic-looking white paint sigils on his forearms, a lot of little buckles, and a two-stringed necklace. May be entering his punk phase.

Some people use their unemployment time to get back into hobbies, or do new projects, or start working out. I, however, decided I'm going to glitch-float a wall partition in my fictional house. More than once. #FFXIV

Screenshot from FFXIV showing WoL!Tai standing in front of a stupid-looking setup using a tall white wall and an antique wall shelf. A set of wooden slats is halfway floating in space, lifted by the shelf, and clipping through the loft where they'll eventually look sort of correct.

Screenshot from FFXIV as before, except the camera has panned to the side, showing the back of the wall panel being used... and also that there are two more sets of wooden slats that haven't yet been floated. It's been like half an hour and we're not done with the first one, lads.

Black and white digital comic.

Panel 1: WoL!Tai (my OC as a Miqo'te) sits alone at a table in the Forgotten Knight tavern, looking contemplative, with a liquor bottle on the table and a glass under his hand. Dialogue from someone offscreen: "Tai. There you are, my friend."

Panels 2-4: Alphinaud comes in, shutting the door behind him, and Tai looks up with slight surprise. Alphinaud says, waving, "Tataru thought you might be here. ...Though I would not have guessed you to partake of spirits." Tai, with a bitter smile, says, "Hm. Not often, no."

Panel 5: closeup as Tai refills his glass from the bottle on the table. He says, "I generally prefer a nice win or mead, but the occasion calls for it, I think."

Panel 6: Alphinaud approaches the table and rests his hands on the back of an empty chair and says, "...Perhaps. I would not know."

Panel 7: Alphinaud continues, looking quietly pained, "...I still struggle to believe that Haurchefant is truly gone. He was a dear friend when few were to be had. He did not deserve his fate."
