Pass it along-please let us see your pfp in its full glory! It’s cropped from a screen shot of Baidar reacting to something that happened in 7.56! It replaces the stunned Baidar look from a cutscene during Endwalker 🤣

The Quetzalli casting set makes for a nice weather proof overcoat and general overall look!

“Uhm. My glasses, actually.” 🤣

This thing is basically “meet Baidar!” Affectionate romantic boy that he is.

Shadowjaq @shadowjaq.bsky.social · 08/10/2026

Metallic red and metallic Ruby red are his favorites. Before he changed his hair to red, it was gunmetal black. Basically reds and black for my boy.

The Arkveld armor from Monster Hunter Wilds. Wish it had been part of the crossover!

These shots a friend of mine took I’ve always referred to as being Baidar in a “Men of Etheirys” calendar 🤣 So yeah probably that as a moneymaking scheme by Tataru.

Shadowjaq @shadowjaq.bsky.social · 07/10/2026

See a couple, post a couple. Of course for me it’s Baidar and Venat. 💙

Shadowjaq @shadowjaq.bsky.social · 07/10/2026

There’s a possibility that Baidar likes red. A distinct chance.

021

Shadowjaq @shadowjaq.bsky.social · 06/10/2026

Must….resist…Baidar stop it’s rude to stare…🤣

Shadowjaq @shadowjaq.bsky.social · 06/10/2026

Damn the mount you get for 50 beasts tamed (yes it took me a bit) as Beastmaster is AMAZING. And pretty huge!

Shadowjaq @shadowjaq.bsky.social · 04/10/2026

Damn, Baidar, you looking good there in the Metian outfit. Like DAMN good!

010

Shadowjaq @shadowjaq.bsky.social · 03/10/2026

Yeah, they’re stunning in it. (Fun fact, the second one is the daughter of my WoL and Venat in my AU, Ianthe. 💙)

Shadowjaq @shadowjaq.bsky.social · 01/10/2026

This is for the Highlander 🐦‍⬛🤣

Shadowjaq @shadowjaq.bsky.social · 30/09/2026

He caught it sometime last year but he doesn’t mind catching it again 😂

Shadowjaq @shadowjaq.bsky.social · 29/09/2026

Time to debut the updated staring image! New as of 7.56 🤣

110

Shadowjaq @shadowjaq.bsky.social · 29/09/2026

7.56 gave me an even BETTER reaction shot for Baidar! 🤣

010

Shadowjaq @shadowjaq.bsky.social · 27/09/2026

Baidar looks good in everything, even Zero’s paladin outfit 😸

Shadowjaq @shadowjaq.bsky.social · 27/09/2026

Is there a doubt? His journey was worthwhile because he met her.

050

Shadowjaq @shadowjaq.bsky.social · 26/09/2026

Here she is, Darya in all her glory!

020

Shadowjaq @shadowjaq.bsky.social · 26/09/2026

The implications of this shot from one of the 7.56 cutscenes could be catastrophic for Baidar in Evercold. Oh this could be big.

Shadowjaq @shadowjaq.bsky.social · 25/09/2026

And it’s funny that after taking so many shots of NPCs in this game-Y’shtola, Venat, Zero, Ysayle, Shale, Sphene, you name it-the random NPC in the BST quests ends up being my best one.

Shadowjaq @shadowjaq.bsky.social · 25/09/2026

One of the great things about FFXIV is that the NPCs look up at you as the most important person alive. Which I’m using as an excuse to post a shot of Lauda from the BST quests because I really like the Limbo healing set on people. (It’s Venat’s fit in the AU.)

Shadowjaq @shadowjaq.bsky.social · 23/09/2026

Updated reaction image for Baidar. He likes wearing glasses now 🤣

000

Shadowjaq @shadowjaq.bsky.social · 22/09/2026

Starting to get into wearing glasses too. The brat 🤣

Shadowjaq @shadowjaq.bsky.social · 22/09/2026

I’m not saying that the AU is back from hiatus but I did put in 1500 words last night, including these, where I got to do my version of a notorious Y’shtola moment from the 6.x patches.

Shadowjaq @shadowjaq.bsky.social · 22/09/2026

Damn, almost forgot to download all the shots I took of Halmarut from the PS5 app. They were about to be deleted and I’d have to upload them again! #halmarut

Shadowjaq @shadowjaq.bsky.social · 21/09/2026

Everyone who knows me knows the answer to this, but I’m one of the pioneers of the WoL/Venat ship. (At one point I was responsible for the majority of it on AO3.) And to answer why it happened-it’s Venat. And that answer is enough 🤣

Shadowjaq @shadowjaq.bsky.social · 21/09/2026

Done! (Current look for him, the staring pin was taken during Endwalker.)

Shadowjaq @shadowjaq.bsky.social · 20/09/2026

Baidar doesn’t need glasses. He just looks good in them. (He looks good in everything!) #ffxiv #gpose

Shadowjaq @shadowjaq.bsky.social · 20/09/2026

For #BatmanDay, I give you this page from Absolute Batman Annual #1, where Daniel Warren Johnson is nowhere near subtle about his opinions on white supremacists, and Batman gives a cop an One Winged Angel.

Shadowjaq @shadowjaq.bsky.social · 19/09/2026

I’ve been using this shot of Baidar lately as a reaction shot, and I’m amused because this is from the cutscene where you meet Venat, and honestly it’s totally appropriate for him there too 😂
