I've had a realization and now I feel compelled to make a Vraska meme deck... 👀 Also the Job Change equipment goes hard with this combo since both tokens get the Cid buff. And token doublers, because of course lol. #MTG #MagicTheGathering #RealityFracture

Vraska, Soul of Stone, a Magic: The Gathering card.

Cost: 1 blue, 1 red, and 1 white mana
Type: Legendary Creature - Gorgon Wizard
Stats: 3/3
Text: Artifact creatures you control have vigilance. Whenever you cast a noncreature spell, create a 1/1 colorless Sculpture Treasure creature token with "Tap and sacrifice this token to add one mana of any color."

Cid, Timeless Artificer, a Magic: the Gathering card.

Cost: 2 generic, 1 white, and 1 blue mana
Type: Legendary Creature - Human Artificer
Stats: 4/4
Text: Artifact creatures and Heroes you control get +1/+1 for each Artificer you control and each Artificer card in your graveyard. A deck can have any number of cards named Cid, Timeless Artificer.
Discard this card and pay 1 white and 1 blue mana to draw a card.

So for the longest time I've only ever used screen protectors on my phones but I just got my first actual case and realized I could do the trading card thing now. So now I have a copy of Red Mage's Rapier on the back of my phone bc it's both MTG and my XIV main. 😁 (Plus it's only a ~50 cent card) 😅

Red Mage's Rapier, a Magic: The Gathering card from the Final Fantasy set.

Cost: 1 generic and 1 red mana
Type: Artifact - Equipment
Job select (When this Equipment enters, create a 1/1 colorless Hero creature token, then attach this to it.)
Equipped creature has "Whenever you cast a noncreature spell, this creature gets +2/+0 until end of turn" and is a Wizard in addition to its other types.

Had to switch off dark mode to see the actual color and it matches Isuka pretty well. She's far from a constant optimist but the description fits well with her sense of adventure and the color matches her eyes. We share a birthday, though, and it doesn't match me at all... 😅 #IsuQotd

So apparently something about my default mod settings is bugging out with these midlander NPCs to give them female torsos with fucked up textures?? 🤣 As far as I can tell it's either base Bibo or one of my upscales that relies on it that's doing it but I have no idea why. 🤣

I think the closest thing to this for me would be the fact that I play with almost completely default keybinds on pc? Having an MMO mouse frees up a lot of real estate lol. Or the fact that my UI is SUPER cluttered? But it's my mess and I know where everything is. 😅 Nothing behavioral though. 🤔

A screenshot of my Final Fantasy 14 HUD. It shows my quests in the top left, minimap in the top right, 2 separate chat windows in the bottom left with the top for free company and linkshell chats and the bottom for everything else, and the full map window in the bottom right with a label pointing it out as permanently open. To my characters immediate right are her buffs, with normal buffs above and special ones below, up and to her left are her debuffs which are significantly larger, and further to the right is the party list with the simplified job gauge above it. Along the bottom are 7 hotbars, each a 3 by 4 grid to line up with my mouse buttons, all with labels describing their function and which modifier keys are assigned to them. The labels are as follows:

Job 1: Neutral
Job 2: Shift
Job 3: Control
Frequently Used: Shift + Control
Emotes: Alt
Misc: Unbound
Markers: Shift + Control + Alt

The same as the last picture but with the HUD editing interface open showing where my more situations pieces of UI are positioned. The most noteworthy thing is the 3 hidden hotbars along the top labeled as hidden dropdown hotbars. These use macros to copy other hidden bars onto the ones along the top to make dropdown menus for things like job selection, accessing assorted game menus, or a handful of situational macros.

This question was made for me. 👀 I also have a whole new set of MTG cards for Isuka and her whole family made, centered around her mom being a WUBRG kindred commander built for legendary lizard/warrior kindred, but I still need to gpose some card art for them at some point. 😅

I know essentially nothing about this game other than that people tend to bring up Stardew Valley a lot as a point of comparison for it, but here's some human versions of Isuka and her siblings! It's always an interesting challenge to make a Picrew work for what I'm trying to do. 😁 #IsuQotd #IsuArt

A Fields of Mistria inspired Picrew version of Isuka as a human. She has long black hair with parted red highlights in the front, freckles, light brown eyes, and is smirking towards the camera. She's wearing a black tank top, blue jeans, a short red cloak with black accents, a matching witch hat with a gold ornament hanging beneath the brim, and gold earrings. Behind her is a washed out background image of a campfire on sand in front of a wooden bench.

A Fields of Mistria inspired Picrew version of Khaishan as a human. He has shoulder length black hair with parted red bangs, freckles, light brown eyes, and is giving the camera a worried look. He's wearing a long sleeved red button down plaid shirt, black jeans, and a long black cloak with a silver chain. On top of his head sits some sort of fire sprite with closed smiling eyes. Behind him is a washed out background image of a starry night sky.

A Fields of Mistria inspired Picrew version of Suzume as a human. She has short black hair with green bangs, freckles, green eyes, and is giving the camera a blank stare. She's wearing black half rimmed glasses, small silver earrings, a long open short sleeved light green shirt over a long sleeved white shirt, muted teal pants, and a matching teal sash around her wist held by a gold buckle in the front. Behind her is a washed out background image of what seems to be a library with an earthy plant themed motif and some striking pink accents throughout the room.

Time for round 3 of Isuka MTG cards! This time I'm breaking the RDM mold and going w/ her post-Vault DRK crashout era instead. I fee like this one would either be super oppressive or completely useless depending on the match up with no in between, but I like how it turned out! 😁 #IsuPose #IsuCards

A custom Magic: the Gathering card of Isuka gpose card art of her as a Dark Knight in Heavensward, bent forward and bathed in red light as she casts some sort of dark magic.

Name: Isuka, Vengeful Crusader
Cost: 2 neutral, 1 black, and 1 red mana
Card Type: Legendary Creature
Creature Type: Lizard Knight
Power: 2
Toughness: 4
Keywords: Lifelink
Abilities:
When this creature attacks, create Esteem, a legendary black and red Spirit Knight creature token that is tapped and attacking with "This creature's power and toughness are each equal to the amount of life its controller has gained this turn plus 1." You may then discard a nonland card. If you do, this creature deals 1 damage to each creature defending player controls.
At the beginning of your end step, you may return this card from your graveyard to the battlefield by sacrificing a creature named Esteem.

The Esteem creature token that the previous card creates. The card art is a mirrored version of the gpose from the first card but with Isuka and her equipment now being solid black and her one visible eye now glowing red.

I'm a little torn between these 3 being Isuka's current canon outfit, but the first one is winning at the moment. 🤔 I really need to start thinking about her Evercold outfit some time soon lol. 😅

Isuka in her post-Dawntrail Red Mage glam sitting on the edge of a stone roof in Tuliyollal and smiling down at the camera with her left leg over her right, her right hand resting on her knee, and her left hand on the edge.

The palace can be seen in the background with various tall buildings along the cliffs below, the city's aetheryte in the center, and the markets partially visible below that around the edge of the roof.

The entire scene is bathed in the orange glow of the evening sun.

Isuka leaning against a wall while wearing an assortment of Casting and Scouting pieces from the new Mistwake gear set. The top is dyed red and her hat dyed to match it along with dying the feather in the hat black.

Isuka standing on a crate with the ocean behind her. She's looking at the camera with her head tilted and a finger on her cheek in a thoughtful pose. She's wearing a red and black top with long baggy sleeves and exposed midriff, baggy black pants with a long open red skirt over top, and black sandals with pointed toes. Every piece of the outfit is covered in golden accents and accessories, even her tail which is wrapped around to the front of her right leg.

New outfit for the #Isu9 crew. What do we think? As soon as I saw this top I knew I wanted to use it in a glam for them. I'm picturing this as their Oblivion mission and maybe general combat outfit. I honestly just need to make a wider selection for them in general. #IsuPose #Gpose #Gposers #AuRa

Carnelian striking a pose with her feet apart, her hands on her hips, and smirking down towards the camera. She's wearing a leather vest over a tank top, long fingerless gloves with laces running up the side and a small pouch on both biceps, a heavy duty leather belt with various larger pouches hung on either side, tight leather pants, knee high leather boots, a bandana, and a regulator. The entire outfit is predominantly black with silver and neon red accents.

A young Isuka, still with her Raen scales, cosplaying as the Vtuber model that Ironmouse used for her appearance at Fan Fest 2026. The outfit is Dancer artifact gear dyed hot pink and black with black heart hairclips and her hair done up in flowy pink pigtails with subtle purple highlights. She's dancing on a counter in the Gold Saucer and has spriggans in red and yellow jester hats on either side of her waving purple glowsticks.

This entire shot is displayed through a gpose overlay that makes it look like she's on stage at Fan Fest with a crowd of player character silhouettes waving glowsticks in the foreground, confetti in the air, various stage lights further illuminating the shot, and a 2026 Fan Fest banner on either side.

#AuRaApril Day 27 - Heartache I continue to not learn my lesson with doing these ambitious #Isu9 comics but the idea wouldn't get out of my head. It's a heavy one but it's also the one I'm most proud of so far. TW: Panic Attack 🧵(1/2) #IsuPose #AuRaApril2026

Obsidian is sitting alone on a bench and is turned away from the camera looking out at Solution 9 in the background. She has her right foot up on the edge of the seat and her right forearm resting loosely on her knee.

She says aloud to herself "It's not fair..."

The camera is now quite close in front of her and Iolite can be seen semitransparently over her right shoulder. She's looking at Obsidian with concern while Obsidian is looking blankly off to the side, seeming depressed.

Iolite asks "What is hun?"

Obsidian responds "These memories... This sense of loss nagging at the back of our minds...Her loss... It's been years since Isuka was first trapped here; almost a year since she died and we took her place. I can't imagine how the others must be missing her outside the dome. Are any of them even still in Tural at this point?"

We pan further out and now see that Citrine, just as transparent as Iolite, is laying across the bench on Obsidian's left with her head resting on Obsidian's thigh, her arms crossed over her stomach, her left foot up on the bench, and her right leg crossed over her left.

She responds to Obsidian's rhetorical question saying "Probably. Alisaie, passionate as she is, would never accept that she's gone so long as they still didn't know what was happening withing the done. Alphinaud probably lobbied with any nation that would listen to help save the Warrior of Light. I wonder if Eorzea's leadership would try to blame Wuk Lamat?"

Iolite, now staring daggers at Citrine, chimes in with "Citrine, your not helping!"

Obsidian, continuing down this train of thought, says "Would the others have made the journey to try to help? Poor G'raha waited over a century to go on adventures with his hero, told Krile to come here with her instead, and she just never came back."

Citrine, ignoring Iolite's chastising of her, says "Y'shtola almost definitely made the trip. A mysterious dome of energy appearing in the blink of an eye? She'd be chomping at the bit to understand how it happened. Hope it didn't delay her research too much. This place may be from a reflection but I doubt anything she could glean from it would help her get back to Runar any faster."

Iolite, now shouting, says "Citrine! That's enough!"

#AuRaApril Day 26 - Free Day #3 Of course she would name her bike after Isuka's chocobo that didn't get trapped with her. It just makes sense lol. #IsuPose #Isu9 #AuRaApril2026

Carnelian, a cyberpunk version of Isuka, is at a work station in a Solution 9 bike shop next to a red hover bike and is partially turned to wave a wrench angrily towards a green haired lalafell to her left while shouting:

"Monom, I swear to whatever god you fear most, if this new update fries Daichi's hover drive AGAIN Melody's gonna have to peel your mought off the heatsink! You hear me?!"

She's wearing a cropped tank top with a harness, long baggy pants, and long fingerless gloves, and steel toed boots, all of which are primarily black and accented with bright red light strips, as well as a regulator on her head. Her tail is a thick black cable with a large plug on the end, and it along with her long, straight, black hair are similarly accented in bright red lights.

Monom is wearing a glossy grey jacket with iridescent light strips over a darker grey shirt and sweatpants, all with neon yellow accents. He's glaring back up at Carnelian with his arms folded over his chest.

Ngl, Topaz is kinda my favorite of the 9 so far. Orange looks good on her and chaos gremlin Isuka is a really fun vibe. 🤣 🧵(2/2)

The camera is now behind Shale's left shoulder looking down towards Quartz, who has turned away from the terminal to respond with an apologetic smile.

"Yeah, sorry Shale. We're alright. Larimar's been chipping away at the finer details of regulator programming to make sure we don't have any further complications."

The wider camera angle of Quartz now reveals her shoes to be steel toed boots with a bandana on her right ankle, accented by the same lights as the rest of her outfit.

Shale, while gesticulating with her left hand, asks:

"And you're sure you wanna keep wearing it? I know Isuka saw it as a necessary evil but isn't it even riskier now given your... new situation?"

Quartz, shifting her weight onto her right side with her hand on her hip, lifts her left hand up to the regulator on her head. While looking towards it she responds:

"It's a fair question, but for all we know the regulator is part of why we're even as stable as we currently are. We need to know more first. And besides, Larimar already severed its connection to Solution 9's memory protocols so as long as we don't die again there shouldn't be any meaningful risks."

The camera has now panned around to the left slightly, bringing the side of Shale's face into frame along with the rest of the room in the background, out of focus.

Similar to when Quartz took control, her light gradient begins to shift to orange as Topaz takes control, striking a pose to present herself with her arms raised and bent at her sides, her tail wrapped forward in front of her, and a big smile on her face. Continuing from where Quartz left off, she loudly adds:

"She also synced it up with our lights! So now we can all look how we want without as much hassle! Oh, and I guess it'll make it easier to tell us apart?"

Shale, not prepared for the sudden outburst, has jumped back slightly with a look of surprise.

Topaz has now burst into a sideways sprint to her left in the direction of the breakroom. She's turned to say over her shoulder while waving, with that same smile and still much too loudly:

"Anyways, I'm starving! Talk to ya later Shale!"

Shale simply returns the smile and gives a gentle wave back.

#AuRaApril Day 24 - Knowledge Between how ambitious this idea was, the fact I had to remake half these shots from scratch like 3x, and Fanfest consuming my focus, this one set me back quite a bit. I'm super proud of how it turned out though! 😁 🧵(1/2) #IsuPose #AuRaApril2026

Larimar, a cyberpunk version of Isuka, is deep in thought while working at a terminal in the Backroom in Solution 9. She's wearing a cropped tank top with a harness, long baggy pants, and long fingerless gloves, all of which are primarily black and accented with dark blue light strips, as well as a regulator on her head with it's lights changed to the same dark blue. Her tail is a thick black cable with a large plug on the end, and it along with her long, straight, black hair are similarly accented in dark blue lights.

To her left, three small, scattered, semitransparent text boxes show that she's mumbling the following: "But that shouldn't have mattered unless... Why would there not be any redundancies in place for... Maybe if I were to reroute this protocol to alert us when..."

The same shot with the camera spun around to be in between Larimar and her screen. To her left Topaz, looking exactly like Larimar but with orange accents and partially transparent, has her right left on Larimar's waist, her left on Larimar's left forearm, and her tail wrapped forward around both their hips to be in front of Larimar. She's leaning in close with a playful grin while saying "Lar, c'mon! You've been wracking your brain over this stuff all day! Let's go do something!" The text box is a sleek translucent black to denote that only Larimar can hear her.

Larimar responds with an annoyed expression, saying "Not now Topaz. We all know that the sooner I figure this out the sooner we can all rest easy knowing that there aren't any more surprises waiting for us."

To her right Quartz, a similar translucent figure but with white accents, is watching this interaction closely with a blank expression while her arms are crossed beneath her chest.

In the background, Shale has just walked in and is looking over a Larimar with concern after seeing her talk to herself. And back behind her, Genolt is focused on a terminal of his own with his arms crossed.

Larimar's blue light strips are now a gradient as Quartz takes control of their body and the lights begin to change from the top down to her white color. Topaz, caught off guard by the sudden change, has leaned back, pulled her arms and tail away, and is looking at her with a startled expression. Quartz responds to Larimar's previous statement with:

"No, Lar, she's right. We've been cooped up in here for hours and we haven't eaten anything in a while; that headache isn't just you getting frustrated. Let's at least go grab some food and give our brain a rest for a little while, alright?"

In the background, Shale has walked towards Genolt slightly and gotten him to turn around so she can ask him something.

Shale has now let Genolt get back to his work, turned back around, and walked up behind Quartz, whose lights are now fully white, to ask: "Hey, Isuka? No, wait, sorry! It's Quartz right now right? Is everything okay? It seems like you pretty much haven't moved since I left like six hours ago."

Quartz looks concerned while turning slightly in Shale's direction, worried that their discussion might have been a disturbance in some way. With her focus now on those around her, Topaz has faded from view.

#AuRaApril Day 22 - Sin She's MUCH better with her coin these days, but she does still love Triple Triad lol. #IsuPose #AuRaApril2026

A angled shot looking up at Isuka as she climbs the stairs of the Gold Saucer's main hall towards the front desk. She's stopped half way to turn and admire the ostentatious decor of the place with an awestruck smile on her face. One of the employees stands at the top of the stairs wearing a skimpy white bunny suit with bright red stockings with a smile and has her right arm raised towards the desk to direct Isuka where to go next. The entire scene is bathed in bright lights of every color with sparkles scattered through the air.

#AuRaApril Day 21 - Light Making this one was a fun puzzle to solve and it was refreshing to pose a shot based on how Isuka feels in this moment rather than what the reality of the scene looks like. #IsuPose #AuRaApril2026

An angled shot of Isuka on one knee and grasping a railing on the fourth floor of the Pendants Inn, with the desk clerk kneeling beside her and reaching out to see if she's alright. The clerk is a man with light brown hair in a bob cut wearing a white vest over a black ruffled shirt, gray slacks, and black leather dress shoes.

The image shows how Isuka currently feels more so than what the scene actually looks like, with Isuka herself and all of her gear being nothing but a bright white silhouette with white sparkles scattered around her. Both of them are blurred at the edges in a manor similar to graphical noise in a video, and along the edges of the picture itself everything fades into a swirling cloud of white energy that threatens to swallow the entire scene.

And of course I took a shot of her full outfit! I'm very happy with how it turned out as her new canon glam for early ShB. 😁 #IsuPose

Isuka wearing a classy vest that's split down the middle with red on her left and black on her right with a black belt on her left below the chest and various chains hanging around the waist, black pants, black leather boots with red trim at the top and red soles, fingerless black gloves attached to long red sleeves held in place with several black belts, a black leather choker, and a red hat with gold accents, white feathers on one side, and a large upturned black brim. The entire outfit is accented with gold buttons, buckles, and studs.

Behind her and out of focus is a bridge lined lamps on both sides and with ornate metal arches.

#AuRaApril Day 20 - Shadow (Bringers) Another day of spending twice as long on the outfit (that you can't see half of) as I did on the pose itself. 😅 #IsuPose #AuRaApril2026

A picture of Isuka sitting on a wooden railing overlooking Lakeland. She's wearing a classy red vest with a black belt below the chest and various chains hanging against the hip, black pants, red and black boots, black fingerless gloves attached to long red sleeves held in place with several black belts, and a red hat with gold accents, white feathers, and a large upturned black brim. Her left hand rests beside her on the edge of the railing and her right hand is on her left thigh. She's turned to face the camera with a solemn expression on her face.

The land below is mountainous and covered in pink and purple foliage dotted with several crumbling ruins. On a cliff in the distance is a small castle, and just in front of the mountains on the horizon is a large spire of crystal glowing too brightly to make out any details. The sky is completely covered in yellow clouds and the entire scene is bathed in bright yellow light.

#AuRaApril Day 19 - Rebellion More than a little late by my standards but I'm super happy with how this one turned out! 😁 Just another day in the Sakimuri-Malaguld household. 🤣 #IsuPose #AuRaApril2026

A shot of a young Isuka being carried over her brother Khaishan's shoulder back towards the Malaguld tribe's camp, where their mother Sokhatai and little sister Suzume are waiting with amused expressions. Isuka has a playful pleading expression and is trying to wriggle free while keeping her left hand pressed against Khaishan's horn so as not to stab herself. In the bottom left is a shouting text box of Isuka saying:

"C'mon Khai! We both know I'm more than old enough to join your trips to Reunion! Please?! I'll help you out with Gergei!"

The same shot but turned around to show Khaishan's face and a group of three other tribe members in the background that he's carrying Isuka away from. He has a smug expression and his left hand is up around Isuka's waist with his right hand around her legs in front of him. Of the group behind him, the green haired woman on the left and the grey haired man on the right are both making exasperated gestures, having been made to delay their departure thanks to these sibling shenanigans. The purple haired woman in the middle is bent forward laughing at the whole thing. In the bottom left is a text box of Khaishan responding to Isuka's pleas from the first image. It says:

"The only thing "we both know" baby sister is that, even if I wanted to, you'd need more than my permission. And what's between me and Gergei is none of your business, brat!"

#AuRaApril Day 18 - Touch Lesson of the day: posing with mirrors is REALLY finnicky 🫠 #IsuPose #AuRaApril2026

An over the shoulder shot of Isuka staring sorrowfully at her changing scales in a mirror while in an a her room at an Ishgardian inn. She's wearing a hooded black leather vest with a dark blue undershirt and black fingerless gloves with armor plating on the back. In the mirror, and only in the mirror, a semitransparent Elezen man with light blue hair wearing Ishgardian nobleman attire can be seen kneeling down next to her and gently placing a hand on her new darker scales with a smile. Along the left side of the picture are four thought bubbles where Isuka is thinking the following:

"I spent my entire life being shunned for not having Xeala scales, and now they finally change in a land that sees them only as an even stronger reason to want me dead... It's bad enough that Ishgardians already see Au Ra as some kind of dragon folk, but by that logic these dark scales just paint me as part of Nidhogg's brood. You wouldn't have cared would you? You would touch these scales and assure me that I'm still me, and that nothing else matters. If only their arrival had been better timed. Having so recently lost you, that pain is now forever tied to these scales; a constant reminder of the worst days of my life... Everything would have been simpler if that spear had just taken me instead..."
