GPOSE Sticker Sheets

Need those fancy GPOSE stickers for use in photo editing software? Look no further, I have exported every single sticker in the game up to 7.2 below. Have fun!

There might be issues with the glow of the text ones, especially the Quest Accept etc as they may cut off the edge of the screen. Simply grab a soft rounded brush and mask the sharp edges off.

Won't you follow them with me

When Guydelot invited Sanson to come watch him perform at the Valentione market, Sanson didn't quite anticipate that the Festival of Love would propel them ever closer towards each other. Dare they both seize the moment?

FLUFF-uary 2025 Day 2: Banter/Flirting

Fandom: Final Fantasy XIV Relationship: Sanson Smyth/Guydelot Thildonnet

Gods, but it's good to be home again! As Guydelot stretches in the late afternoon sunlight filtering through Gridania's familiar trees, he could swear he feels frost crackling in his bones. After so miserably long in Garlemald, the bard hadn't been certain he'd ever feel warm again; no amount of huddling around the fire or curling up with Sanson in the quiet privacy of their tent ever seemed to thaw him out completely.

For all it's late autumn here at home, with a crisp bite to the air, it might as well be the height of summer.

What's your most niche/off the wall/completely silly headcanon for Sanson in particular?

So the funniest headcanon I have for Sanson is that when he cooks, sometimes he gets impatient that it takes a bit for spaghetti to soften when you put it into the pot so you can submerge the entire thing. His solution: snap the spaghetti sticks in half before putting it in the pot.

Guydelot just stared at him in shock and horror and he banned Sanson from cooking pasta afterwards lol.

personally one of my favorite things about the bard quests is that both of them could just be lesbians. guydelot with the shitty self-cut short hair with a bad dye job and 3 days worth of eyeliner caked on. sanson with the Sensible Low Ponytail who runs this bard unit like it's the god damn navy. i know these dykes they could be my coworkers

Midlander Hyurs who are shorter than Sanson Smyth: A post

My friend was commenting how the Bard quest NPCs are mostly Elezens so Sanson who's 5'11 always look like a short twink next to them, so I got curious and compiled this list lol.

Ardbert / Meteor / Hien / Thancred (yes Sanson is taller than Meteor but twice the twink)

Bonus: Guydelot is a complete giraffe next to Meteor lmao

Jacke / Oboro / Bartholomew / Hancock

Alberic / Ywain / Riol / Asahi

In the Eye of the Storm

Cora/Seiryu · Explicit MIND THE TAGS — CW: Snakes, Lots of snakes, Monsterfucking, Sex with Sentient Magic Animals, Elezen heat, Dubcon (kinda), Cora's Echo makes everyone horny

Cora awoke in a large empty room; alone save for the hundreds of snakes covering his body. The shoji at the far end slammed open with a loud crash, and in a flurry of wind and rain a serpentine form flew in, circling around the room like a typhoon before it alighted in front of him.

Seiryu.
