It's Black History Month and I don't have a pinned post so let's fix that.

Hello. I like posting gposes and answering questions about the Ladies of Light (my Final Fantasy XIV OCs) and other OCs in their world. The tags I commonly use are in my profile header, but are explained below. (1/5)

endeavor (n.)

a serious determined effort

Today, I’m boosting the Rebellion’s Carrd! The Kugane Rebellion is N’ami’s newest endeavor and it is taking tons of connections and networking to make it possible!

#Ystride and #Euphemia are pretty much the only two that are average height; everyone else is much taller than average.

(Context: #Mirita = Miqo'te, #Khorijin & #Khoride = Au Ra, #Rija = Viera, Ystride = Elezen, Euphemia = Highlander*, #Zardaar = Draenei, #Anaya = Night Elf.)
A height chart displaying multiple women standing side-by-side with their heights listed out. Mirita is 6'1"/185.4 cm, Khorijin and Khoride are 6'2"/188 cm, Rija is 7'3"/221 cm, Ystride is 6'6"/198.1 cm, Euphemia is 6'4"/193 cm, Helena is 7'8"/233.7cm, Zardaar is 7'4"/223.5 cm, and Anaya is 7'10.5"/240 cm. • Mirita is 6 fulm 1 ilm/186 cm. She doesn't think a lot about how tall she is even though she's aware that she's much taller than many Miqo'te; she's mostly just Used To It at this point. • Khorijin and Khoride are 6 fulm 2 ilm/190 cm. Much like Mirita, Khorijin does not think very much about it, whilst Khoride revels in it and enjoys it, mostly for intimidation but also for seduction. • Rija is 7 fulm 3 ilm/223 cm. She is very proud of her height as well, and has gotten used to fielding Many Questions about it. Given that many other Viera in her family are at least her height or will grow that tall, she doesn't think anything of it. • Ystride is 6 fulm 6 ilm/200 cm. They’re happy with it mostly because it means she’s not that much different from any other Elezen at a glance. It also makes a funny because this means that they're Khori and Ride's big little sister. • Euphemia is 6 fulm 4 ilm/193 cm. She is aware it is a perfectly Highlandery height to be, and is not worried about it. • Helena is 7 fulm 8 ilm/234 cm. She used to be self-conscious about it when she was younger, thinking it might not have been queenly, but grew into it over time and now regards it rather neutrally most of the time. • Zardaar is 7 fulm 4 ilm/223.5 cm. She was more uncomfortable with it pre-transition, but post-transition and adjusting to the changes in her body shape, she’s fine with it and it’s probably one of the few things she’s subtly rather proud of, though she’s a little shy about actively flaunting it. • Anaya is 7 fulm 10.5 ilm/240 cm. Much like Rija, she takes a lot of pride in her height, and did even before transitioning, though she needed a bit of extra time to adapt her training to being stealthy to compensate for it. Now, she uses it as a distraction and seduction tactic when and where it’s appropriate.

3. Self-Love

In a world that would betray me, sexualize me, use me. I choose to be the heart other's won't afford me. And in the end, there will be no love worth the price of my own
Magena dances with herself, a succubi tail shadows around their bow. The leading Magena is kissing the underjaw of the following Magena, who cracks a small smile. Her eyes are obscured from the camea, but you can see her lower lashes below the brim of her bang. Behind the duo, an array of Succubi watch their masters play

Fleur, Viera and partner of Kaze, Au Ra, resting within the tub of their home. She looks up at him with glee, her smile cheeky with a scrunched nose (his favorite). They are enjoying a moment of self love together, intertwined. ALSO NAMEDAY POST FOR KAZE! HAPPY BDAY TO THE GRANDMASTER OF HIDAKA DOJO!

Aesthetic (Southern Gothic) N’ami standing and facing Dominique, a long time friend and colleague. They are both looking towards the viewer with an interested gaze. The setting is a swampy area reminiscent of the Bayou within Louisiana. The umbrella specifically is a call out to a dance/tradition called the second line. As a New Orleans native, this particular pose had some home and heart within it. Big big fan of swamp areas and the southern gothic charm that is New Orleans as a whole ✨⚜️✨🖤

Going to the Gold Saucer requires one of two styles: showing out or suiting up.

Young N’ami (4) dancing with jubilee for her parents N’oemi & N’aaja. Though the picture appears to be one of a ‘happy family’ this is simply a vision N’ami’s had in distant dreams. This has never actually happened for her, but she always dreamt someday it would. Here’s a prelude to N’ami’s inner thoughts, her journey and how she’s become the N’ami we know today.

"Aesthetic" is a really good prompt but now this means I have to stage something really good. The curse of having glamorous-ass characters in abundance. 😭

1. Prelude

Before there was Lae, there was Eos. Created by Selene, the dearest soul whom fragmented into Lae & his shards, as an emotional support Entelechy. She is the culmination of Selene's research on emotion, and a companion to every source incarnation of Selene
Eos, in her seraph form, plants a kiss on Lae's lips. They seem to be suspended in air, under the fog of a starless night. Very faintly in the back you can see the forms of mountains against a dark blue sky (misc. Hashtags) #BlacktoberXIV2026 #Blacktober #gposers

A memory of their origin eventually rejoined them.

#Mirita, #Khorijin, and #Rija, the original Ladies of Light, and their sixth member/second mom/Azem, #Euphemia.

Four Black women walking down a street in Ul'dah; a Miqo'te, an Au Ra, a Viera, and a Highlander. The Miqo'te and Au Ra are looking at each other, holding hands, while the Viera and Highlander are watching them, and a ghostly image of the Highlander, dressed up in fancy, Ancient-like robes, is watching them with a similar smile as her non-faded counterpart.

Re: RPHub stuff—while I'm going to wait and see what the response to the influx of comments is before I make a move to pull down my RPHub or just stop updating it, I feel compelled to get a little chatty about this before I go back to thinking about Blacktober images. >>

idk if it'll do anything but i DO think people who like/enjoy rphub should make their disappointment about how the mods are handling the no nsfw rule enforcement known.
returning to this post to say it's deeply disappointing that moderators are clearly enforcing the rules with a bias and will capitulate to bullies targeting specific members of the community and their characters instead of properly reviewing and tossing out reports. images and characters should NOT be getting taken down because of "what if they're not wearing any underwear behind the dress slit?" if nothing's showing and nothing's actually breaking the rules then it should NOT be taken down. you cannot sit here and claim that you're enforcing vanilla ffxiv standards when vanilla items such as the 2b glams, the ao dai, etc. exist that are much skimpier than many of the things y'all take down that get uploaded to the site. i'm genuinely considering deleting my account and deleting the plugin if the moderators can't pull it together and draw the line at what is nsfw and needs to be enforced, state censorship laws or not. at some point you're not "playing safe," you're allowing harassment.

The Ladies love changing their hair frequently, enough so that if I tried to actually take photos of them all or describe every single one, I'd be here all day. If you look through #LadiesOfLightPhotos on its own you can see a bunch of different examples.

The only other thing I will add to this discourse is that Solona herself said she is an experienced programmer, which means she did *not* need to use AI for Proteus. The environmental, societal, and mental impacts of the technology were clear when she chose to go forward with using it. >>

Its really disheartening seeing big names in the modding scene push for normalization of AI via the Proteus plugin. This is your reminder that Proteus is vibe coded. No matter how "cool" or "time saving" the plugin is, it could have been created by real coders and not AI.

Arguably it's Berude's fault that Khorijin had to face a canon antagonist-turned-sister: #Khoride, Khorijin's Fray, was already bubbling inside of Khorijin before DRK started, butt gained some of her more unsavory character traits from Khorijin's impression of Berude. (end)

So, justified? No. Understandable? Yes. Berude mellows out some after Stormblood, but she & Khorijin did not get along well for most of Khorijin's life, and that only started to change after she was forced to recognize that Khorijin had gained the strength to become khagan. >>

Khorijin being almost exactly like their mother and thus "embarrassing" Berude and the family further caused Berude to pick on Khorijin out of some twisted idea of making her tougher or less like Gorbeljin, to no avail; it just gave them bad blood. >>
