Valiant loves to bring up the fact him & his twin sister were thought to be actual pet cats when they were first found & spent their first few months treated as such. A travelling merchant corrected the hellsguard roes who had found them & informed them about hroths, it was all hilarious

Was trying to think of words to explain/express how I have been lately but this image sums it up nicely

Took these on Valiant & River during 7.56 MSQ Really cannot wait to see more in Evercold

Been 3 months since I first started painting. This took me most of my week off & I put everything I have learned so far into it. Proud of my Blood Angels Captain Always more to learn & improve, still got plenty left to build and paint yet. Looking forward to more

When I first started playing, Valiant was a femroe who changed into a hroth in ShB. Their designs never really changed. I only changed the fur pattern I used in EW I have always been content with how they looked, the swap was me expressing my IRL changes/journey & who I really was

Valiant Dragonbane @validragonbane.bsky.social · 21/09/2026

I really don't wanna go back to work tomorrow, not ready yet but alas Didn't get to do half the stuff I wanted to do. Hopefully the end of October & of the current big work project will leave me with more time & energy to do that stuff such as MSQ on alt catch up & farms in main in XIV

Valiant Dragonbane @validragonbane.bsky.social · 20/09/2026

Valiant understands Alphinaud & the relationship he has with Alisaie deeply, having a twin sister of his own. Their arrival & separation in ARR & HW, the reunion & growth during SB & ShB, the even stronger bonds between them forged during EW All of it an almost mirror to his own experiences

In something more fun, I cannot believe I went to this over 2 years ago. I hope the people I hung out with during it have enjoyed their time in DT as much as I have This was fun, I wonder if something like this will happen again before EC hmm will have to keep my eyes peeled 👀

Valiant Dragonbane @validragonbane.bsky.social · 19/09/2026

Im realising that the reason I was put off from getting into high end XIV content & Warhammer 40k was one & the same: Feeling that my struggles with co-ordination & fine motor control due to my ADHD & the clashes with my autism would make it impossible to enjoy or be at least decent at

Valiant Dragonbane @validragonbane.bsky.social · 18/09/2026

Will only say this the once, if you are cis & create trans masc/femme characters & their sole/primary use is for fetish reasons/content then we cannot be friends & I will remove you from my bubble by any means necessary

Very grateful to have a healthy family dynamic & parents who are both still here & in relatively good health Dad came over yesterday & he helped me with some DIY tasks I needed another person for & we have made plans with my mum to paint & update my apartment. Gonna be work but will be worth it

Have managed to get beastmaster to lvl 50 & most beasts thanks to Zoey. Cleared first 2 boards & got the lvl 50 gear. I actually managed to do them on my first go by bumbling through, sheer luck & BST making more sense to me than BLU (I did also do some levelling runs) Really having alot of fun

This blueberry goober. I have been on such a long journey with this one, been a transformation, growth, understanding, lore building & end game content completing. He is my main, he is the one I do everything first on

Valiant Dragonbane @validragonbane.bsky.social · 12/09/2026

Hopefully clear FRU Try to get the last wings I need Finish DT on NA alt & Femhroth alt Those are the main 3 things, I will poke around at older relics & other bits I normally do between expacs if time allows

Valiant Dragonbane @validragonbane.bsky.social · 11/09/2026

Debating if I swap River's 'main' job for EC from Viper to Reaper, need to see how evolved mode is plus see the full info on the new phy ranged job as from what we have been shown, it seems like something that will suit him

Valiant Dragonbane @validragonbane.bsky.social · 10/09/2026

I did not in fact beast master tonight, I just wanted to chill Will get to that content when I am good & ready, idgaf im not max level with all beasts caught yet. I manage my time in a way that suits me & makes me happy, just like everyone should. Its not a competition, its shared enjoyment

Valiant Dragonbane @validragonbane.bsky.social · 10/09/2026

I have managed to do the MSQ, absolutely no spoilers but the Nordic themes & names we get a glimpse of makes me so excited as someone who is into Norse lore & mythology The FC I have with my friends is named Yggdrasil, we are making plans & just being generally excited to do EC together

Valiant Dragonbane @validragonbane.bsky.social · 10/09/2026

Despite the literal dumpster fire from last night I managed to sort myself a fun beast master glam Hopefully tonight I can get some levels on it & capture some beast pals

Valiant Dragonbane @validragonbane.bsky.social · 09/09/2026

So I know I said today was a literal dumpster fire but I didn't wanna manifest one! Currently 3 fire engines and a ton of firefighters outside my building after some idiots seem to have set a bin on fire in the carpark Only pic I'm sharing so I don't dox myself, the aftermath of the fire

Valiant Dragonbane @validragonbane.bsky.social · 09/09/2026

Beast Master sure looks fun, wish I had time to play it lol Unfortunate drop between raiding Tuesday & today being a dumpster fire then going out for a work dinner Got it unlocked so hope this weekend I can get into the meat of it & go catch me some beasts

I'm doing a presentation today on a chunk of a project I have been working on for the better part of this year, it is also being recorded. Super nervous but I'm sure it will be fine...maybe

After every miniature painting session, I feel closer to becoming a fully grown shrimp I need a better setup or a better chair, maybe both

Got my haircut today & it was long overdue, feels so much nicer to have it back short & styled again \o/ IRL has been a real struggle lately, havent had much time to check in on here. Only did the last gpose I posted as Zoey made it for me. I have that week off soon & it cannot come soon enough

Before hroth existed my main was a hellsguard femroe. I looked into their naming lore & picked Amaranth as its a nightwish song I enjoy & the flower itself being a symbol for endurance & strength Valiant worked with it & I liked the meaning behind it plus the names Val & Vali 1/4

Valiant had left his mountain home to make a name for himself on the blood sands of ul'dah & ply his trade as a blacksmith/armourer He had started learning the ways of paladin & providing ul'dah with the above trades before running into thancred and starting along the path of adventure

Was the start of SB, I properly got into it during ShB I have had some wonderful times with IRL friends, met some awesome new ones & its how I met Zoey It has been worthwhile & the joy I have had over the years, I wouldnt change it for anything & I look forward to EC to continue the journey

Ya know...its nice to get handed a backfill for say ifrit EX via mentor roulette as it makes you remember why you fell in love with the game in the first place & why you do the things you do It reminds me that the loud minority can never take away that spark 1/6

WHAT DO YOU MEAN TIM CURRY IS NOW GONE?! Like man, what a damn week. He was one of my fave actors, I watched everything he was ever in, hell I even played Command & Conquer to watch him chew on that scenery like a champ He fought like hell after his stroke, rest easy Comrade/Doctor/Pennywise etc

Raid night yesterday got a bit unhinged but this is the highlight my static decided to save & pin I was legit talking about the size of a safe space in a FRU mech, honest! (It didn't get any better but we managed to prog regardless)

Valiant Dragonbane @validragonbane.bsky.social · 26/08/2026

I start with deciding what time of day I want to pose at so I can then figure out background & framing, then the actors, then testing out which vanilla animations work with what I want to achieve as I use those as a base mostly Then once it's setup, test out various lighting & shaders
