I’m Max (they/them, panromantic/demisexual) this is a blog I guess. In the real world I’m 44, so by tumblr standards I was personal friends with Gilgamesh and Enkidu. I just kind of post whatever here. I love and am loved by @laliluluho. I’m currently deep into my thinking way too much about my silly OCs era, so there will probably be a lot of stuff about my FFXIV characters. Sorry and/or you’re welcome depending on how that makes you feel. Asks and messages are open.

And hey, we’re gonna get through this. Yes, even that. Anyway, how about you read about my little guys now? Ok thanks.

Thanks for reading! I'm definitely planning more robust bio posts for my WoLs soon. In the meantime feel free to send an ask if you're curious for any details about them.

I will hopefully list my main tags here at some point, but they currently don't really work because my account is in tumblr horny jail. I've sent a review request, and hope to be paroled soon.

(Zero obligation or expectation around posting or sending this on - I just wanted to let you know that you are absolutely a star ⭐)

Thank you so much, my dear friend. You're absolutely a star to me as well. You do so much to make people feel welcome in this community, and to spark inspiration. You have done so much to make me and Lulu feel welcome and included. And your asks and prompt lists always inspire me to think about my characters in new ways. You also directly inspired the work that I'm most proud of when you sent me that rumor about Clare.

The Dawntrail leg of the Walk @acrossetheirys happened last night, and was delightful as always. I got to spend time taking in the sights and chatting with friends old and new. Just look at this esteemed company!

Many more pictures ad thoughts under the keep reading. Grab a beverage, and let's go for a walk!

It's @diggingforkuponuts' Flower Mintea! At last two of the prettiest bunny bois in Etheirys were able to meet up! Flowers were exchanged! Cocoa was consumed! Dances were danced! And joy and connection were felt. But what's this? A couple more familiar faces?

Why if it isn't @laliluluho and @sisitosito! Shenanigans were shenaniganed, and delightful tunes were hummed in the aetheryte plaza until well after the sun came up.
