Welcome to my FFXIV sideblog! It’s lovely to have you here; my name is Laurel, but you can also call me Arty ✧.*

You can learn more about me here. Please note that I like, ask & follow back from my main tumblr account, @laurel-resting!

This is a multi-muse blog for my FFXIV roleplay characters; you can learn more about them under the read more, and can see more of my work using the links below.

Born as a Moogle in the Black Shroud, Kupa’s transformation into a pink-haired Viera was a feat of alchemical dubiousness brilliance by a Sharlayan researcher named Rhotrael.

Unable to return to her previous form at present, Kupa has the freedom to explore Etheirys and spends her time doing odd jobs; adventuring, courier work, waitressing, gardening and baking.

Warm, friendly and excitable, Kupa is learning more about the world each and every day.

As a young woman, Ohka was fortunate to meet the love of her life during a chance encounter- an Ishgardian-born Elezen merchant named Quillion Espinoux.

Relocating to Ishgard and remaining tenacious and steadfast through the challenges life sent her way, Ohka's world was turned upside down when Quill was found dead in their marital home. Rumors swirled about Ishgard and Ohka was declared the primary suspect.

Traumatized, cautious and slow to trust, Ohka has returned to Gridania after the tumultuous and isolating murder trial- she's got a lot of processing and healing to do.

Growing up in the lush forests of Raincatcher Gully and in the shadow of Castrum Occidens, C'arta is no stranger to the dangers facing Eorzea or Etheirys at large.

Fiercely restless and ever- curious, C'arta is most often seen around Eastern La Noscea with her pet tapir, Nugget, in tow. Previously working as a mercenary-for-hire and adventurer, she's since retired, now working as a guide for visitors to the Gully and a huntress for her tribe.

Protective, competitive and impulsive, C'arta utilizes her skills as a Monk to help make their little corner of Etheirys safer for her little siblings.

A Gyr Abanian native born and raised, K'eshhe's early childhood was spent roaming the remote mesas of her homeland with her mother. When the Ala Mhigan city-state fell into chaos and the Garlean invasion began, K'eshhe and her mother fled for Ul'dah.

A gifted dancer and performer, K'eshhe made a name for herself as a street performer, and was later scouted to join Gegeruju's dancing troupe in Costa del Sol. She was three years into this role when an unconsented interaction between herself and the lalafellin merchant himself led her to leave- but not before holding a knife to his throat and warning him to never lay his hands on another member of the troupe again.

Fiercely spirited, slightly uncouth and fiesty, K'eshhe has struck up a friendship with Kupa, and the two have begun adventuring together.

This is not a spoiler-free blog. I generally do not post content from the latest patch for a couple of months post release, and will tag when I do using a multitude of spoiler tags.

✧ This blog is a LGBTQIAfriendly and safe space; I do not condone or tolerate racism, sexism, or hateful & belittling behavior in any form.

✧ I refuse to yuck others yums here; I also follow the mantras of ‘nothing nice to say, then say nothing’, 'be excellent to each other', and ‘be curious, not judgemental’.

✧ There will be NSFW content on this blog; I ask that anyone under the age of 21 to please not interact with my content or blog. I have no interest in interacting with minors.

✧ My ask box is always open, with anon enabled should you want that security.

✧ I firmly believe that we are each capable of curating our own experiences online; while I will always try to tag content that may be triggering (within reason), please consider adding specific tags to your blocked taglist to avoid seeing them on your dash. This said, should something I post slip through, please don’t hesitate to reach out to me to let me know!

✧ I am not currently active on other social media sites; please do not repost or share my content outside of tumblr without my express permission.

As this post has gotten rather long now, I've popped the information about my characters under a read more; I recommend checking it out if you want to know more about them!

I hope you enjoy perusing my blog

It's the weekend so I can actually put time and effort into Savage. So if you see me there, you have to be nice to me. It's the law.

For your viewing pleasure, trailers beneath the cut!! vvvv

Every so often I just get a giggle out of how cobbled together some of the character models are in this game.

Cid and Hien are both put as Midlanders for their short height but they have builds closer to Highlanders so THEIR BODIES ARE MODELED WITH THEIR CLOTHES. If you swap their clothes from their defaults they will shrink in breadth and leave a horrendously visible neck seam.

Raubahn is so tall he breaks the height slider.

Garleans are not a separate race in the code and if they are not short enough to be a Midlander (like Cid), they're ELEZEN with custom faces.

Speaking of custom faces, Nero only has about half as many facial bones as a lot of other characters (post-DT I presume) so his facial expression range is much smaller.

Au Ra did not exist properly until Heavensward so Yugiri had to be built on a Miqo'te skeleton to accommodate her tail. Miqo'te Yugiri is still used for the ARR patch quests.

Child skeletons do not accommodate most animations so they just don't play.

Idk I think it's fun sometimes.
