A limited time archive of all (???) the windows we saw at #GatewayFate2026 !
A friend and I went around snapping pics of every decorated window late Sat night. Feel free to share which photos belonged to your room or post pics as replies!

i did not forget this!! we just had some hiccups with the file types but that is solved now, so i just gotta do some minor stuff tonight and i'll have the link for viewing :D
i was reminded of all the windows we took pics of at the con! we have it all in a folder but i just need to renumber the files and add a little info before sharing the link with everyone
i wanted to draw gaius and mr squelch for the kink zine but i am just a little too busy these days for another project. π i can always draw it on my own time i suppose
not to be cheesy but the older i get and the more people i get to know, i really start to understand my own character's (makoh'to's) patience and understanding for everyone. sincerely interacting with the world and the communities i find myself in has been so healing! i get to learn a lot!
i think the biggest problem I see from people who want community is that, intentionally or not, they have confined themselves to a cage that limits how they view others and it will set you up for failure every time. if you cannot sincerely engage with other people's experiences, you will stay lonely
and by "engaging" i mean in a neutral way!! this is not about any particular thing or person, and i cannot capture every caveat in a little musing thread but hopefully you have a postive takeaway from it πΉ
Our evening trickery is over, so let's start the day with a morning treat in the form of 4.0's date reveal; Oct 30 & 31, 2027 back at the St. Charles Convention Center! We'll have our main hotel block at the Embassy Suites again with the maximum amount of sleeping rooms possible for our block.
i am forever trying to improve my craft, even if it feels like a glacial pace... im happy for the support others give when i am trying something new or even when it's something i always scribble πΉ it means a lot, especially in this new era of how ppl interact with art
my current wish is to find a good deal on a silhouette cameo (preferably v3+) at an estate sale bc why is the used marked online still way over priced for 10+ yr old machines missing all the accessories π
Throwback to when I learned one billion new skills to put together this Heirsbane kit from dangerousladies.ca ! I'd do it a bit differently again, but overall still love how it turned out.

doing some slight adjustments and a bit of detailing for gaius standee and i was like "hm how would he be holding heirsbane for this..." then i remembered. well i could just pose with heirsbane myself! practical decor for me lol

idc about ship name order but i write gaiuswol (as opposed to wolgaius) bc i like the middle of the word to be "flat" and the bottom of the g and top of the l at the beginning/end. ykwim? specifically written in all lowercase too πΉ
I have 2 more trades and 3 gifts left for my digital queue then i can refresh my digital trade queue π it will be a while tho... i tend to work on those in between cmsns and (looks at standee file) gaius merch
this week my goal is to clean up the gaius standee and get it formatted for samples!
thankfully all my other files are prepped already so after this last one i can give everything a once over and finally get. samples. i feel like i always open POs at the most inopportune time (holidays)... should i consider a POD like acgg//ds for second rounds idk
ill reshare it from that account but it will be flagged for your curating (or mute/block that account to avoid explicit work)
i still post mildly nsfw stuff here tho. I'll need to make that more clear when i redo my bio/pin πΉ

Final update:
My dad passed away about two hours ago. All remaining donations and funds will go towards his cremation and funeral services. I have increased the goal to 4000 due to this. Thank you for all of your help during this painful year.

Day 0 of Gateway FATE 2026, part one! I had a lot of fun traveling to this FFXIV fan event and going to the aquarium with other fans! It was nice to see people bring little plush and merchandise of their characters.
