Introducing merch artist Kitsu ( @/9mileshigh )! 🐶✨

@/9mileshigh has designed a beautiful matching notebook and pen set! The notebook is double sided AND has a window you can open on both sides!

((She’s been coming back to purr on me whole night long and most of the day. Thought I’d say since I’ve only had her for a few months and this is the first time she’s gone full nurse!kitty on me. It’ll be some time before I’m healed up but I’m in good… paws. 🐾💉💕))

This calendar was created by twelve artists representing original characters and locations in Hydaelyn! Please take a look at it! Happy New Year!

For February, I decided to give tribute to Valentione’s Seasonal Event, which, in 2018 brought us an instance in the Sanctuary of the Twelve where two players had to communicate and work together to get till the end through a set of obstacles while tethered by a golden line that they had to work not to break. In many ways, that, and the Ceremony of Eternal bonding, in my opinion, don’t necessarily address a romantic bond, but also tight friendships, and can serve to remind us of the people in our lives that help us through our struggles and lows, but also share happiness and joy. Many of us have been blessed and found such people through FFXIV, and many still will. With this drawing of @ziyo-yo & @x-inay, I was hoping to share my gratitude to @darkredphantomx and, perhaps, to invite others to take this time to cherish friends, loved ones and those they call family that make their days brighter. Thank you!
