FFXIV player, GaiusWoL shipper, fanfic writer, and beginner digital artist.

About Me

I've been playing FFXIV since 3.3 (2016-09-05 to be exact!) Usually you can find me ingame crafting, doing casual roulettes, or sometimes going after Big Fish. I raided a little during Stormblood but haven't since. The hard content I do instead is the fanworks - I'm a writer and a beginner digital artist, active in the former field vastly more than the latter. I like to draw korpokkurs! I tend to post art on my twitter and tumblr. Meanwhile I've been shipping Gaius and my WoL, Lena, since 5.2, when I wrote and posted the first chapter of The Seduction of Gaius Baelsar. Scroll down to learn more about my Warrior of Light, my writing, and my art.

About Lena (The WoL)

Although I did not play in 1.0, Lena is a 1.0 Warrior of Light. She was thrown 4 years into the future during the Calamity, which caused the world to forget her, and her to forget the world. She awoke in the Black Shroud with no memory of who she was or even what to call her race, and stumbled about until she found Bremondt's caravan and he convinced her to hitch a ride to Gridania.When she entered the Adventurers' Guild, she heard someone loudly complaining about a woman named Lena, so she took the name for herself and signed up. Her brother, Haetal, who is the only person to vaguely remember who she was, was fortuitously assigned to be her guide and guardian for a time to show her the way of adventuring, which he did for a year until ARR began and she joined up with the Scions. Lena did not recall his identity during this time.These days, Lena rides on the winds of her heroism as the Warrior of Light. She is a white mage and red mage, and via the link between their reaper avatar, Carmilla, she shares the mantle of reaper with Gaius Baelsar, who became her husband before Endwalker. Together the trio are deadly, with Carmilla watching Gaius and Lena's backs and aiding them in battle - to say nothing of their own non-reaper abilities. With both of them capable of masterful swordplay and powerful magicks, there is little that they cannot brave as a team.

My Written Works

I've written for a few different subsets within the FFXIV fandom (and a few other fandoms as well), but nothing compares to the 500k+ word GaiusWoL behemoth that is The Seduction of Gaius Baelsar, my main work and one true home. I have a short version if that's too daunting but you still want to keep up with the adventures of Gaius and Lena!

Art

I do quite a bit of gposing and drawing and I often commission art from other people. Here you can find galleries for each category.

Boundaries

Here I will share my boundaries for myself and my OCs.
Boundaries for Me
- Feel free to DM me at any time.
- Please do not make sexual comments towards me, even if I am posting something of a sexual nature on twitter or tumblr.
Boundaries for My OCs
- Please do not make sexual comments towards my OCs, even if I am posting something of a sexual nature on twitter or tumblr.
- Is fanart ok? - I am only comfortable with non-explicit art unprompted. Anything else needs to be asked permission for in advance. And that means before you have done the thing, not after.
- Can others draw their OCs with yours? - Only in non-explicit situations. If you wanted to draw Lena and your OC having tea together, or something innocuous of that nature, that is absolutely fine. Requests/asks to draw Lena in an explicit situation with other OCs will be met with a decline.
- Are headcanons and shipping ok? - Please do not establish ships with my characters. Headcanons are ok within reason; an acceptable example would be something like, "I think Lena would really enjoy this candy I got at the store!" (and I would be happy if you shared something like this with me!) but more intimate headcanons are discouraged.
- Is kinning ok? - Absolutely not. Non-negotiable, zero tolerance.
- Is fanfiction/writing ok? - I am not comfortable with others interpreting my characters in writing. If you wanted to write them into your universe, I am flattered, but I ask that you please not do that.I ask that you please respect these boundaries when interacting with me and my OCs. Thank you for taking the time to read them.

My Art Gallery

I got back into art fairly recently, about November 2022, and I jumped right into digital paintings of my favorite FFXIV creatures: korpokkurs. I have been drawing them since. Otherwise I'm currently drawing fruits and stuff to learn how to use brushes properly.

Commissioned/Gifted Art Gallery

The joy of commissioning skilled artists or receiving their goodwill is precious to me. Here are some works I have received.
