An image of an Au Ra named Ace running with Deryk hand in hand, their baby opo-opo running at their feet. The gods of the twelve watch over them as they depart on their journey, their expressions as soft and kind as I could make them with limited facial bone structure.

They would forgive him this indulgence, and let him enjoy his final journey just a little while longer...

12/4/2026 HAPPY 4TH ANNIVERSARY TO MYTHS OF THE REALM

#GPOSE | #GPOSERS | #WoLDeryk

An image of an Au Ra named Ace kicking the water to make a splash with their arms raised to the side for balance. One clawed hand is holding their sandals, Ace smiling brightly. Deryk stands behind them, leaning forward with his hands placed on his knees, his head is tilted upwards to look at Ace with one open eye, a playful grin on his face. Their baby opo-opo is clinging onto Ace's tail.

Spring

B'alith cozies up to Deryk in the plaza outside Mih Khetto's Amphitheatre, sheltering them both from the rain with a large leaf.

A repost from 2024 that I don't think ever made it over here, in which B'alith is doing what he does best: Asking For It. >:3c

#gposers #hatchingtide #wolderyk

An image of an arm being grabbed by a long black snake tail belonging to an Au Ra named Ace. The tail wraps firmly around the arm, tugging on it lightly. The scene is lit by a warm orange light, both of the figures being darkened in the shadows apart from the tips of orange light from the lamp. A small textbox reads: Ace: "Don't go..."

Tenderness

#GPOSE | #GPOSERS | #WoLDeryk

An image of an Au Ra named Ace smiling and poking at the baby opo-opo that sits on their table. The opo-opo is wearing a small green cape shrunk down to be able to fit it. Ace looks happy as she leans over, her claw gently poking at the opo-opo's head. Deryk leans against the front garden's fence, turning his head to watch them with a soft smile in the background.

Little fellow 💚

#GPOSE | #GPOSERS | #WoLDeryk

An image of a small cabin at night with the stars shining above it. It's enveloped in warm lighting.

Deryk sits on a bed with his cape hung up next to it. He stares down at a notepad in his hand, looking concentrated. His baby opo-opo sits at his side.

On the page shows sketches of the different features of an Auri player character, showing a snake eye, sharp teeth, a patterned tail, and sharp claws. The name "Ace" is written in a script. Deryk looks away from the paper. Deryk: "Hm..."

Deryk looks back at the page, his expression conflicted. Deryk: "I cannot afford to grow distracted... Not even by you..."

For the XIV hearts ablaze event on tumblr

#GPOSE | #GPOSERS | #WoLDeryk

An image of an Au Ra named Ace wearing red armor. He's bleeding a lot as an arrow pierces his chest, staring up with anger in his snake eyes. "OSCHON!" He yells as the god watches with scared eyes, blood splattering across his vision.

Oschon stares down at Ace with a mixture of fear and sadness as his hands tremble around his bow. "No... Ace wait I-"

Ace glares up at him, his eyes smaller than usual to show his rage. He has blood on his face and is yelling to show his sharp teeth. "GIVE HIM BACK! GIVE DERYK BACK!" He yells.

"Besides isn't love always forged through bonds of blood... Or shedding of blood I guess..."

- Warrior of Light Ace quoted from Stormblood

#GPOSE | #GPOSERS | #WoLOschon | #WoLDeryk

An image of an Au Ra named Ace sat in front of the portrait painting of Oschon. He has his head in his claws, the claws combing through his long hair. The painting has large claw marks ripping through Oschon's face, signifying that Ace tore the painting in a moment of betrayal. The baby opo-opo sits by their feet, reaching up a comforting paw to console them over the man that left them both behind.

#GPOSE | #GPOSERS | #WoLOschon | #WoLDeryk

An image of Snoegeim, G'raha Tia, Krile, Deryk, Ace and the baby opo-opo walking into the Omphalos from the glowing entrance. Snoegeim and G'raha are talking excitedly with each other while Deryk and Krile watch with fond smiles. Ace walks in the back, his expression conflicted as he stares at Deryk. Snoegeim: "It's almost time for us to get to the bottom of this mystery!"

A close-up of Deryk's wrist as Ace's snake tail wraps around it. Deryk looks up at Ace with a confused expression. Deryk: "Ace...?"

Two images of an Au Ra named Ace looking in distress. He looks away in the first image as he puts a claw on his chest. Ace: "I know what you're about to do... Before you even think about it, I won't allow it." Ace turns to look at Deryk in the second image with tears in his eyes. Ace: "You know I can't... You know... You promised-"

The rest of the group walk further ahead as Ace's tail wraps around Deryk's shoulders, Deryk's hand reaching up to touch the tail. The baby opo-opo turns its head to look at them as they've fallen behind from the rest of the group. Ace: "Please... Don't go... Oschon..."

[6.5] The Heart of the Myth

#GPOSE | #GPOSERS | #WoLDeryk

An image of an Au Ra named Ace dressed in a red romper. He's laying across a tree branch, peering down at the woodland path below where Deryk is walking with his baby opo-opo. Ace is blushing and smiling softly, the baby opo-opo turning their head towards him with a question mark.

Alerted by the opo-opo Deryk turns his head upwards looking unamused as he makes eye contact with Ace. Ace looks shocked and slips off of the branch in surprise.

Ace lands on the floor under the tree and waves awkwardly at Deryk, a big smile on their face as Deryk stands over them. Ace: "Heh... Hi there Deryk! Fancy running into you in this neck of the woods... I love this spot too, always at the ready to help new adventurers who need a brave and valiant her-"

Deryk raises an eyebrow as he looks down at Ace. Deryk: "What did I tell you about following me?" Ace nervously chuckles, still blushing as he looks away from him. Ace: "Uh... Hehe... Always do it?" Deryk: "No!"

[6.1] Acquaintances

#GPOSE | #GPOSERS | #WoLDeryk

An image of an Au Ra named Ace sitting with Deryk in a field of flowers. Ace has their eyes closed and is blushing with a big toothy smile as Deryk holds his cheek. Deryk has a smaller blush but stares down at Ace with a fond expression, the two leaning in to each other.

"I'm glad that it was you who came to us..."

#GPOSE | #GPOSERS | #WoLDeryk

An image of an Au Ra named Ace laying with Deryk in a well lit room. Ace is dragging a claw over the area above Deryk's heart, looking at Deryk with a fond smile that shows her teeth. Her tail wraps around Deryk to support their neck as they lie together, one of Deryk's hands holding Ace's head while the other strokes their sleeping opo-opo. The effect of a heart beat machine flows across the bottom of the image, indicating Deryk's beating heart as Ace whispers: "I can feel it... Your heartbeat..."

A mortal's heartbeat

#GPOSE | #GPOSERS | #WoLDeryk

An image of an Au Ra named Ace embracing Deryk from behind, biting into the side of their neck. There's blood there as Ace's claws hold them and their tail wraps around them. They look at each other with love in their eyes and a bleeding debuff appears next to them.

A taste of divinity

#GPOSE | #GPOSERS | #WoLDeryk

An image of an Au Ra named Ace wearing bright red as she walks down a path. She shields her face from the sun, her long snake tail raised behind her. In her shadow her body morphs into that of a large snake, showing her true form.

An image of Deryk walking away from the Oschon symbol, his baby opo-opo running behind him to keep up. The shadow that leaves Deryk's body has Oschon's silhouette, showing his true nature.

#GPOSE | #GPOSERS | #WoLDeryk

An image of an Au Ra named Ace standing by the edge of a bridge, her claw resting on the barrier as he looks out to the sea. In the foreground a miqo'te child is running away from a lalafell, NPCs from the 2025 rising event, Ace's smile fond as she ignores the commotion.

A shot showing a pair of legs walking passed the running child, a green cape swishing in the breeze as the figure approaches Ace's boots. ???: "Oh? It seems my prayers were answered..."

A shot of Ace turning her head with a bright smile and wide eyes, their hair blowing into their face in the breeze. Ace: "Deryk! Happy Rising!"

A shot of Deryk with his baby opo-opo resting on his arm, his other arm raised in greeting. His smile is gentle and fond. Deryk: "If it isn't Eorzea's Ace... It's been a while. To think we met on the road here... Reminiscing as well, are you?"

A chance encounter on the road

#GPOSE | #GPOSERS | #WoLDeryk

Kahori waiting with Baby opo Opo from Deryk's return (moments before the Eulogia boss...thing). She is consoling Baby Opo Opo who seemed worried for his 'dad' Kahori: "Listen, let's wait for Papa..."

Kahori, a female Au'ri is holding Baby Opo Opo on her arms as she keeps talking. "We will see what happens after with the Warrior of Light."

Her gaze is soft as she speaks. "Don't be worried...He will come back."

Her gaze softens even more when she says the last sentence. "...I trust in Deryk."

~Waiting.~

"Listen, let's wait for Papa...We will see what happens after with the Warrior of Light. Don't be worried...He will come back."

"...I trust in Deryk."

Four images showing Deryk reading a book. An Au Ra named Ace walks behind him, waving in the background before sneaking up behind him to read the book over his shoulder. Ace then kisses Deryk's cheek to fluster him and then starts talking and pointing at the page of the book that he's reading.

Another old gpose but I still think this one is adorable hehe...

#GPOSE | #GPOSERS | #WoLDeryk

An image split into two. The top images shows Deryk sitting amongst the grass and flowers in the heavens. He has a soft smile, looking at peace as the baby opo-opo sits on his lap. His hand is resting on the grass. The bottom image shows an Au Ra named Ace reaching up to the sky, their claws almost bridging the gap between them to touch Deryk's hand. He's covered in blood, looking up with a sad expression as she sits in the void.

I'm no good for you...

#GPOSE | #GPOSERS | #WoLDeryk

An image of an Au Ra named Ace in a red jacket sitting with Deryk in his lap. Deryk is wearing a green jacket as he holds Ace's face in his hand, his other hand is looped around Ace's neck to hold her horn as their faces lean in close to each other. The morning sun is shining on them as they smile at each other, looking very in love. Their baby opo-opo is sitting in Ace's hood.

Complementary ❤️💚

#GPOSE | #GPOSERS | #WoLDeryk

Deryk is not *quite* tall enough to use him as a chin rest, but that's what meandering footpaths with a bit of an incline are for. 😊

#wolderyk

I’m thinking that Mira’s Ancient was with Deryk’s and a big part of MotR is him learning he has to move on because Mira isn’t his lost love and the one that *Mira* loves is Erenville.

An image of an Au Ra named Ace walking across a beach at sunrise. She's wearing a bright red jacket with a black crop top and matching black shorts. Her long snake tail is looping behind her, carrying Deryk on it to show its strength. Deryk is clinging onto the tail, holding onto it tightly with both hands with a shocked expression and a blush. Ace grins at him as she holds the end of her tail as they walk, their baby opo-opo swinging from the top of the tail near Ace's claws.

THEY'RE BACK!!!!!!!!

#GPOSE | #GPOSERS | #WoLDeryk

An image of an Au Ra named Ace wearing white and green armor, sitting with Deryk on a rock by a small pool of water. In the water the baby opo opo and a small white snake are interacting with each other, being a mirror to the couple that are sitting embraced with each other. Ace's black snake tail rests on Deryk's lap, Deryk resting a hand on it as their other hands hold each other as they gaze into each other's eyes.

Divine 💚

#GPOSE | #GPOSERS | #WoLDeryk

Ace pulls away from the kiss, looking to the side with a frown, Deryk still clings onto her shoulder as he says: "Don't. You can't just kiss me and... And... Expect me-"

Ace pulls away and turns around, walking off as Deryk looks to the floor, muttering: "I do not expect anything of you Ace..." to himself.

"Caught in a lie" 2/2

#GPOSE | #GPOSERS | #WoLDeryk

An image of an Au Ra named Ace in a red armored coat pinning Deryk to the wall with an angry expression, Deryk looks sad as Ace says: "You lied to me Deryk- Oschon- whatever I'm meant to call you now-"

A close up of Deryk's sad expression as he replies: "Deryk... Always Deryk, for you."

A close-up of Ace's angry face as she glares down at him: "Tch... How am I meant to-"

Deryk pulls Ace down into a kiss, wrapping his arms around their neck as they kiss: "You don't have to-"

"Caught in a lie" 1/2

#GPOSE | #GPOSERS | #WoLDeryk

Two images of an Au Ra named Ace wearing red armor. In the first image a thought bubble shows an image of Deryk, Ace blushing and looking very shy as she holds her cheeks. In the second a thought bubble shows an image of Oschon and Ace looks displeased, frowning to themselves.

Her mind is an enigma to me

#GPOSE | #GPOSERS | #WoLOschon | #WoLDeryk

An image of an Au Ra named Ace leaning against Oschon's monument, he's looking up at the god, expression distant and solemn as he says: "Divinity doesn't suit you." Oschon in turn looks down at him with a small smile.

"Patron..."
