Hello! I'm Yume, or Crow, or I comfortably go by just about any of my character/blog names. My main blog I follow from is @ishgard, which is Final Fantasy XIV-centric, and heavy on reblogs.

My side/personal blog is @helianyx, where I will post just about any and everything that tickles my fancy; memes, funny shit, anime and assorted video games, etc., as well as occasional world interests.

I tag very sporadically, but I do my best to tag things that might be considered nsfw, politics, or just things people don't necessarily wanna see - feel free to let me know if there are any specific tags you'd like me to use! On my FFXIV blogs, I tag for the most recent patch/expansion spoilers..

@dravania is my "personal XIV blog", a little spot for me to just keep all of my own screens and character information I post, organized outside of my main blog's rabid reblogging and chaotic tagging. (After several years running this blog with it's 30k+ posts, I needed a space for me. XD) It's significantly more organized in that regard, so if you'd like to follow me there feel free!

I do have an assortment of side blogs ranging from ‘specialized media interest’ to 'character inspiration & aesthetic blog’, most of the latter you can find linked on my characters page. (edit: not anymore but I'm working on it X'D)

npc sideblogs

I'm not quite crazy enough to confess to all of my sideblogs (you can catch a glimpse of it on the character page), but here are my NPC appreciation blogs. They aren't super active, and a little in need of TLC and updating, but they do exist. They're a mix of fanart, screens, and occasional aesthetic/quotes that remind me of them, and are all subject to major spoilers.

@oschonsembrace oschon - spoilers for endwalker
@thancred-waters - this is thancred.
@sorcerorofeld - emet-selch. yeah i typoed the url shh.
@skydragondive - estinien.
@akadaemiaanyder - general convocation/ancients. my most neglected child.
@silverfuller haurchefant.

frequently asked questions 03

How did you make (pose/character/whatever) in such-and-such screenshot?

I primarily use a combination of Penumbra, ktisis, Brio, and Reshade!

What is that pose?

Full disclaimer: I use my own, from scratch poses, and a blend of pre-made poses you can find here (be warned of NSFW content). Sometimes they're entirely my own making, sometimes entirely pre-made, and sometimes an assortment, or doctored pre-mades. If there's a pose you're curious about using, feel free to ask!

Can I use your NPC caps for commission references?

Absolutely! You definitely don't have to, but I'd love to see it when it's done! :D If it's a certain outfit that I've put together, it would be especially nice to see!

Can I draw your character?

To be fair, I've never gotten this question, but I have had some lovely souls draw my characters before, so to that end: yes omg yes thank you I will love you forever!
