I think I sleep. Been struggling mentally and oddly enough Diablo IV has kept me distracted from my head. Love that game.

Random thought: I hate modder drama because I just use things I think look nice and every once in awhile I get some attitude for using a mod made by someone that's a piece of crap or whatever and I'm like "I don't care I just use stuff I like" but I sometimes think I should care I dunno.

New look, well sorta new? Had it for a bit but been lazy and dealing with things...

Ephemeral Attire is complete! An elegant and ornate floral-themed outfit utilizing the forget-me-not embroidery from the new MSQ set. I wanted to make something that really showed them both off. The corset was reshaped to be more like one instead of a Big Belt. Helios | Ko-fi | #bkmods

A new mashup outfit which features a mix of lace, cloth with silver accents, and leather. Throughout the entire outfit is stunning embroidery featuring forget-me-not flowers and foliage, taken from the new MSQ set. There is a corset which features a dramatic waist, and custom-length leather boots to create a more victorian silhouette.

"It's big boobs day" they all said, "it's gonna be great fun!" Alas, it's actually big booby day, and it won't be fun for anyone... (Except the booby) #LomasiXIV #BPose #BPosers Fashionably late, also because of impostor syndrome but hey; Lomasi with a booby she can't handle, that's a first.

It's still this one because it was the first relic I ever completed, sentiment more than appearance makes it my favorite:

Remember all the (playful) debates about what the WoL and Lyse were *really* doing up on Rhalgr's Fist? An argument can be made in the same way about Wuk Lamat and the WoL at a certain part of the MSQ dealing with the cabins. I like to believe it because it would make the worst people even angrier.

Don't sleep on the Filter Intensity slider in gpose! This is my all time favorite feature for vanilla gposers and it can really add so much to your picture! I don't use any shaders and very rarely do any post edits anymore because of it! Experiment with it with your favorite gpose filters!

Even in max level armor it's hot at night. Soon we'll be free of it... #nsfwffxiv #tagseludeme #Ijustguess

Duskwight Elezen fanning herself while wearing high level MMO Female Armor (It's skimpy, very skimpy) still hot at night (me complaining about summer with a blatant lust invoking image)

Missed out on final boat gatherings but sadly performance causes large ones to not be that fun for me. Too many people are not considerate at all with how much load they put on everyone else's machines. We don't all have PCs from the future. Yeah it's a bit whiny I apologize. x.x

Thanks to those that like and see my random pictures. I'm no gposer and could never be on that level I just take shots on whim and post whenever. 🩷

Small rant for no reason: I think a main issue I have with RP communities in games like FFXIV or others is that a lot of people tend to gravitate to one or two "hubs" and stay there. There are whole worlds out there to use but relatively few actually do so and I never understood why.

Tess AKA: Gertie @thebardess.bsky.social · 17/08/2026

I'm ready for Fall Guys to return to FFXIV but I do wonder if we'll ever see it again considering how rife with cheaters it quickly became or whatever kinda deal they made.

People in the quotes remind me of those localization purists that just want the dry Japanese to Other Language 1:1 or weird prudes uncomfortable with raunchy humor. If you've ever seen the Alisaie comparison talking about Alphinaud swimming you know what I mean. He's fantastic and always will be.

Almost forgot the obligatory Summer Water Floating pictures! The glasses stay on. #elezen #gpose #madeuptag <-- I had to do it.

Elezen in a bikini floating on her back in the water because it's cool and wards off the god awful Sun.

Same as the first except from a different angle, a bit teasing in nature and giving another view of her body because why not?

I really don't feel well. Been laying down a lot. Just venting a bit before falling back into bed.

Saw a post making fun of someone's modded character "over there" in screenshot form with their full in-game name in view along with others around them. Can we not? I don't care if you think someone's look is cringe or whatever that's something we just don't do.

That battle between needing a new bikini for the boat and the eternal laziness that permeates my being... I got a day I guess.

The Party Boat is back. Please show some modicum of decorum and don't get normal players seething about modders again. Ya'll remember what happened last time.

Can we just not do this with all the vibe coded plugins I'm seeing pop up on the Archive lately? Like can we just please nip this in the bud and do away with it quickly?

Tess AKA: Gertie @thebardess.bsky.social · 09/08/2026

I do wonder with Moonfire coming up, will the infamous party boat return? If so will the community do what it did last time? >.> Quite a brouhaha! It was a real humdinger.

Almost a week straight of cool, comfy weather I almost forgot it was summer but of course today Nature had to remind me that it still is and give me a hearty middle finger with humidity and heat. :))))

Judging by videos all over social media the Switch 2's load times in FFXIV are so fast it might become the new meta platform lol. It's faster than my m.2!!!
