Micro March Day Eight: Exploration
(Don't mind the double post—I just wanted to do a quick pose here. It took two hours and I think Brio broke in the process.)

Micro March, Day Seven: Shrinking

In preparation for the daring rescue of a certain little sister, Yaana and friends take to the Spire of Trial. Training is going smoothly, though one of their coaches is a little too excited to see them perform...
#KtjnPoses #Levinhearts #Viera
Right now somewhere in the world it's January 31st, which apparently is National Hot Chocolate Day in the US. It's still only the 30th here, but still.
Have the gals sampling a recipe from Vamp Fatale's winter catalogue, served in mugs imported from Eorzea.
Having set the Black Vulture down beside her weapon, Vamp Fatale calls for a referee. An outrunner swiftly enters the ring, examining the fallen fighter. "There's no need for a ten count," Vamp declares. "She's not getting back up."
Like hells I'm not, Lily thought to herself. She had wanted to say it aloud, but between the loss of blood and her damaged chords, she found herself unable to speak. Clenching her fist around the hilt of her sword, she pulled herself up to her knees. Vamp and the referee recoil in shock and horror—the Vulture shouldn't even be conscious, much less able to move! "What manner of fiend are you!?" Vamp Fatale demanded to know. But the Vulture, eyes full of fury and flame, said nothing at all.
#Ktjnposes #Levinhearts
These last two are unlabeled. I made them this morning, as I felt I needed them to alleviate the issues above.
Anyways, I am really looking forward to writing this fight for real.
Gazing down at the limp and lifeless body in her arms, Vamp noted something odd. There was no trace of the puncture wounds she'd left on the Vulture's throat. And though she wasn't moving, the Vulture's chest had begun to rise and fall.
Closing her eyes, she focused intently on the sounds of her enemy's body. Her shallow breathing, once all but silent, now seemed as if a roaring wind. And though her veins were sucked dry, the Vulture's heart was beating furiously. "Eutrope said you were different," she muttered to herself, "but this is something else."
"Still," she sighed, a wave of relief washing over her, "this fight is over, little canary. Be a good girl, now—sit back and watch as I save everyone."
#Ktjnposes #Levinhearts
Reason being, I'm not at all a fan of fake snuff, and this edged close enough to that to disturb me. On top of that, I've been acutely aware of the misgivings some have had re: the early Honey x Vamp art, and I felt this struck a little too close to that as well.
CW: Death?
"Shush, little canary", Vamp declared. Shifting Lily's body upward, she pinned her legs between her own and pulled her head aside. Then as her lips grazed the skin of her opponent's throat, she sank her teeth into her neck. A piercing cold tore its way through every ilm of Lily's body. She tried to pull away, tried to fight back any way she could. But with her body pinned in place, all she could manage as her blood was drained away, gulp by gulp, was to scream.
For a mercy, it didn't take long for Vamp to drink her fill. But as cold comforts go, Vamp's "fill" proved to be every last drop of Lily's blood. She was fading quickly, and for the first time since her bout with Wicked Thunder, the Vulture knew true fear. No mortal being could survive what was just done to her—and even the most reckless voidsent knew better than to "die" in the arms of an enemy out for their soul. But as her stolen blood settled within Vamp's growing form, her growing form suffused with pillaged aether, what choice did she have?
The power of Lily's blood swelled to bursting within Vamp as she descended to the floor. The feeling was indescribable. Never before had she felt this strong—strong enough, perhaps, to seize the cure for their disease on her own. That the cost was the life of the woman held fast in her arms, she had already accepted. Yet now that the deed was done, it was all she could do to stop her trembling. For all her sadism in the ring, not once had she ever actually killed someone...
#Ktjnposes #Levinhearts
The follow up to the previous Vulture vs Vamp set I made.
It feels a bit weird to label these as graphic media, as they are entirely bloodless (I can't edit for shit). But as I said before, I'm not entirely comfortable with what I've made.
CW: Death?
#Ktjnposes #Levinhearts
It's not quite paladin armor, and Galbana Lily's not quite her spouse (yet). But here's Eutrope carrying her six foot tall girlfriend in her arms.
#Ktjnposes #Levinhearts
Bonus Shot: if nothing was at stake and Vamp Fatale wasn't literally trying to kill Lily.
"Godsdamn it!" the Vulture snaps, gritting her teeth as she struggles vainly in Vamp's embrace. "What the hell do you think you're doing!?" "A little kitten told me all about what your blood did for her," Vamp whispers in her ear. "And now it's my turn. You're going to give me everything I need to save my Arcadion."
"To hell with you and 'your' Arcadion!" the Vulture replies. "I'll burn it to the ground before I let it claim another soul!"
- Several Minutes Later - Vamp Fatale kneels down, dazed and winded. "Even with my fans' aether, she refuses to yield," she thinks to herself. "I mustn't lose this match—if I do, the Arcadion..."
"You're finished!" the Black Vulture cries out, brandishing her greatsword. Her dark aura manifests as a single black-feathered wing as she prepares to strike with Disesteem, a raging torrent of astral flame.
As the Vulture unleashes her attack, Vamp Fatale evades, sweeping her opponent into her arms. "Since you're so bothered by the source of my power..."
"... I'll take what I need from you!" she declares, flying high above the concrete floor with her opponent squeezed tightly to her chest.
The Viera Galbana Lily, known also as the Black Vulture, stands before Vamp Fatale in her personal arena—Ring Noir. Vamp Fatale has taken a knee, seemingly defeated. "Fight's over, kid," the Vulture declares, putting aside her weapon. "Hand over your regulator—save us both the trouble of knocking you out."
"I think not, Vulture," Vamp Fatale replies, as she flies past the Vulture. "This is just the beginning."
"My faithful minions─give me your aether!" Vamp Fatale calls out to the audience. Streams of aether surge forth from the crowd, coalescing within her body. "It's begun!" shouts the voice of Metem. "She's draining the audience!" A moment passes and he adds, in a tone suggesting he's rolling his eyes, "of their aether!" "How the hell is this legal!?" the Vulture demands to know as she draws her sword. But it's too late to stop Vamp.
As the aether settles within her, a powerful dark aura bursts forth from Vamp Fatale, her body growing in size to match her newfound strength. "Shit," the Vulture spits, gripping her sword tightly. "This is what I get for trying to be merciful..."

Shoutout to @fortunafavore.bsky.social 's dialogue maker, which is a fantastic tool that I ultimately didn't use because dialog box positioning is trickier than it looks.
Two women, one a Viera (Galbana Lily / The Black Vulture) and the other a Hhetsarro (Yaana / Black Cat), fist bumping in a brightly lit blue and pink stadium arena. The billboard in the background bears the name "Black Cat", and the stadium is filled with cheering fans.
POV Shot: Galbana Lily and another Hhetsarro (Eutrope) arriving at Tritails Training. They are greeted by Yaana, who tightly embraces them both. She has grown since they last saw her, now standing several centimeters taller than her older sister Eutrope. Galbana Lily is smiling contentedly, and has one arm around Eutrope's waist. Eutrope is looking bemusedly at the viewer, who is actually Neyuni.
Alternate angle, showing Neyuni. She has also grown considerably, standing about as tall as Yaana did when they first met Lily.

Two years after her departure from the Arcadion, a challenge from the new Heavyweight Champion sees the Black Vulture returning to the ring to defend her throne!
Later that night, Galbana Lily and Eutrope pay a visit to their sisters at home.

Have some silly shots from last year

Happy New Year to all!
As it's the Year of the Horse (and because I wanted to), have a cute gpose between my favorite horse girl and her favorite horsegirl.
I hope this next year finds us all well, and that I never stop loving these gals.

Against my better judgment, I wrote a brief prologue for Levinhearts III, which I otherwise won't be writing for a while.
archiveofourown.org/works/767195...
If you're at all confused about it, you should also read Levinhearts II, which is mostly finished.
#Ktjnposes #Levinhearts
I wanted to do one more shot with the girlies before the end of the year. Gotta run Wind-Up and Eutrope through the event, too, before the 30th...
"Goodnight, lovelies! Have fun gaming!" Watching as the Neon Stein's front doors shut behind the proprietress, Melancholy, Eutrope found herself shaking her head. She was sitting at a table in a cozy bar on the ninth level of Everkeep, with two trustworthy acquaintances and her little sister accompanying her. Nearly a dozen men and women she could count on to watch her back were no more than ten yards away. And though her condition and the Arcadion would always weigh heavily on her, tonight that burden felt lighter than air. "I still have a hard time believing this is my life now," she said aloud, more to herself than anyone else. G'raha Tia raised a hand to his chin. "Befriending a time-displaced princess and the world's demonic savior? Gathering with strangers from across the star to play at being fictional heroes? When put like that, I suppose it does sound like the stuff of fairy tales and legends." "Since when do legends involve playing table top games?" asked Yaana, rolling her eyes.
"You would be surprised," G'raha countered with a smile. "Contests of chance and skill do make their ways into the annals of history on occasion." "And you would know all about that, of course!" Krile teased him, before turning to Eutrope. "But if I might allay your fears, Eutrope—this is real. You are… alive and well, and among friends. Ascension Arcadia wouldn't dare come after you in such company." At first Eutrope furrowed her brow. But upon noting the look of concern on her sister's face she relented, her expression softening considerably. "Try not to delve into my mind without permission. But thank you, Krile… the reassurance is appreciated." "Eutrope…" Yaana trailed off, her gaze drifting for a moment to the floor. "I know home isn't the safest place for you right now, but if Lily and I are there…" "I'll think about it," she replied, forcing herself to smile. "Alright. I'll come home tonight. Sphene makes for good company, but—" "—but she's no substitute for home cooking and a lover's warmth?" came the voice of Sphene, the door to the Back Room sliding shut behind her. At the sight of Eutrope's blushing face, she pressed her fingers together and laughed. "Sorry, sorry! I just couldn't help but tease you a bit, hm hm!"
Anyways, a small preview of #Levinhearts II - Reasons to Fight's next chapter.
It's all I've got down so far. It won't be long before I get to the game itself, and I want to try something new with it—second person narration mixed with third person action. I hope it turns out well.
#Levinhearts
Chapter 12 of Levinhearts II - Reasons to Fight has been uploaded!
archiveofourown.org/works/642063...
Up next, the chapter where several characters play the Final Fantasy TTRPG! Which, uh, is gonna be hard to write, come to think of it.
#Ktjnposes #Hyur #Miqo'te #Levinhearts
Have a few of my favorite gposes from this year. Two posts.
First up, characters. I feel like I really cooked with these ones, either in terms of lighting or composition. Especially the Yaana+Black Cat vs Wicked Thunder one. Still get chills looking at it.
A Hhetsarro (Eutrope) and Viera (Galbana Lily) lying together in the grass. Eutrope is sitting atop Lily, pinning her down and grabbing her wrist with one hand while gently booping Lily's nose with the other.
#Ktjnposes #Viera #Levinhearts
Not to be outdone, Eutrope take her girlfriend to a place where the grass is greener. But of course, what she wanted to show Lily was exactly the same.
Eutrope sitting on a swing near Akyaali at dawn. She's wearing a black-dyed copy of the Wayfarer attire. Her girlfriend, Galbana Lily, is kneeling down beside her.

... that name was simply too generic to stick, and the hashtag was typically used for pictures of actual wildflowers.
Lily/Eutrope has a much catchier name: #Levinhearts. It's a meaningful combination of both characters' elements, and made for a fantastic title for my first fic featuring them.
#Ktjnposes #Levinhearts
It's no warmachina and soulshifted goddess of war, but they're enjoying themselves.
(Ascilia is offscreen catching up with Tataru and Lhaminn. Trust me!)
Finished up the next chapter of Levinhearts II: The Dancing King, Part II!
Unfortunately, due to hitting 3000+ words I decided to break off the finale into its own chapter. Which means it'll bleed over into Sugar Riot's fight.
Anyways, enjoy!

Zoomed out shot showing five characters, from left to right: Galbana Lily Yaana Neyuni Eutrope Ascilia
A shot of Galbana Lily grinning as she squats down, preparing to jump into the pool of water below. Yaana is preparing to jump as well, while Neyuni scolds the both of them for the ridiculousness of this stunt.
Alternate angle of previous shot, showcasing Yaana's determined smirk and Neyuni's irritated look.
Close-up of Eutrope and Ascilia. Eutrope is leaning against the mast behind her, glancing past her bangs at Yaana and Lily. Her tail is resting on Ascilia's shoulder, tucked gently beneath her chin. Ascilia herself is sitting down, looking up at Eutrope and smiling.
#Ktjnposes #Levinhearts
Why yes, I did climb all the way up the Queen Lhaminn's jump puzzle to take a silly gpose.
A pair of children, age 7—one Shetona (Aria) and one boyish Hhetsarro (Eutrope)—standing together and smiling. Aria is slightly shorter than Eutrope.
The same pair, age 10. Eutrope has grown out her hair and is wearing a new outfit, complete with a pleated skirt. She's now considerably taller than Aria, who is standing on an elevated patch of ground. Aria is staring in admiration of the Eutrope, blushing. Eutrope is acting bashful.
The same pair, age 16. Eutrope has fully grown, reaching adulthood. Aria, though slightly taller than before, has yet to truly hit puberty. Eutrope is delighting in teasing her friend over the now significant height difference between them. Aria is slouched, crossing her arms and pouting.
The same pair, age 19. Aria is now fully grown, towering over Eutrope by nearly a full foot. She has one hand on her hip and the other resting atop Eutrope's head, and is looking down at her with a mocking grin. Eutrope has one arm raised and is smiling sheepishly. Her other arm is wrapped around Aria's waist.
#Ktjnposes #Levinhearts
A growing friendship, years in the making.
(I just wanted to do a thing, hehe.)
#Levinhearts
My life for an edit button, lmao
A gathering of seven girls and one doll. Five of the seven girls are Minfilia Warde, a blonde Gyr Abanian Highlander, at various stages of her life. The remaining two are Eutrope, a pink-haired Turali Hhetsarro, and Galbana Lily, a white-haired Dalmascan Rava Viera. The doll is also Minfilia.
Close up of three of the Minfilia. The leftmost is Minfilia from Final Fantasy XIV Version 1.0, performing a rude fist pumping gesture. The rightmost is Minfilia during her "Word of the Mother" phase, floating in the air and shrugging her shoulders with a smirk. In the center, kneeling down with a bouquet of roses, is Minfilia in her A Realm Reborn Antecedent's Attire.
Galbana Lily hugging Minfilia's shoulder. Both women are wearing their respective outfits from the Endwalker 6.1 - Dawntrail 7.0 period—a white armored gown for Minfilia, and the Wayfarer's attire for Lily.
Minfilia and Eutrope, gazing at each other with crossed arms. Minfilia is wearing her Solution Nine attire—a puffy white and red vest. Eutrope is dressed in the style of an Alexandrian Hunter, albeit with her coat dyed silver.
#WoLfiliaWeek2025 Day 08 (Finale): #MinfiliaDay
And that's a wrap! Thank y'all for being kind and liking these. I'll be starting the polyam week stuff tomorrow—so you'll likely be seeing a lot more Lily, Minfilia, and Eutrope from me.
