Calco, a Midlander Hyur dressed in dark greys, standing afar as he points a red gunblade toward Thancred Waters, who is drawing his own gunblade.

The duel begins. Calco attempts an explosive strike on Thancred, which is easily blocked by the more experienced Gunbreaker.

The tables turn. Thancred makes an attack of his own, likewise parried by his opponent.

The conclusion to their duel: Both combatants passing one another in midair, weapons raised high whilst at the peak of using Lion Heart. Explosions surround them on all sides.

When seeking to learn how to wield the Gunblade, there was only one option for Calco to turn to.

Naturally, it very quickly turned from a lesson to a trial by fire.

True to form, I announce my return to the game with a shitpost.

#WoadXIV

I had been waiting for the next Moonfire to write this one (and may well finish it then since it's just at a decent stopping point now rather than actually done), but since I was prompted...

#WoadXIV

Kyanite. The Azure Soul.

"So what if I still can't remember my past? It's not like I'm alone, so I'll just make new memories instead!"

#WoadXIV

Kyo. The Reticent Blade.

"For all that has been lost to me, why would I now fear death? It is only because of this pain that I can render up my all for those who stand beside me still!"

#WoadXIV

A Gpose of a gray-haired Midlander Hyur posing in front of a stone fountain with two twinfangs, one held by his side and the other over his shoulder. He wears a short black coat with dark gray pants, and a green scarf trails down his back. His left hand is covered by a black glove.

A Gpose of the same Hyur, wearing much lighter grays and a pair of orange wristbands, facing off against Ifrit. An arrow is nocked in his bow, ready to fire as he leaps backwards away from Ifrit's flames.

A GPose of the same Hyur now shot from the back, of him playing a melody on the flute underneath the full moon. Green musical notes surround him.

A GPose of the same Hyur, now dressed in the black garments of a ninja and wielding a pair of electrified daggers, having a friendly spar with Yugiri Mistwalker atop the Kugane Tower at sunset.

Calco Geminus. Inheritor of Legacy.

"It doesn't matter how I got here. As long as there's something worth protecting, I'll continue to fight.

Back to the Spotlight (2/3)

#WoadXIV | #gpose

Calco, a Midlander Hyur with gray hair and dressed in primarily greys and black, standing in Ul'dah with his arms crossed and his eyes closed. "Not that I'm not happy to see you..." he says.

"...but how in the hells did you two even get here?" he says as the camera pulls back to reveal he's speaking to Dancing Green and Sugar Riot. "We have our ways. Don't sweat it." is what Dancing Green replies. "More important than that..." Sugar Riot begins to say.

"I can't believe you never told us that all this time you were dressed as the Seneschal Prince!" Sugar Riot exclaims, referring to Calco's jacket he has worn all this time. Denying the claim, Calco replies "That's because I'm not.", to which Dancing Green says bluntly "It's literally the same jacket, bro."

Annoyed, Calco looks away from the pair, saying "Even if it was, which it isn't, I've had mine for longer. I should think that rather he's dressed as me." Conceding the point, Sugar Riot says "That does make some sense. It sounds like you're something of a celebrity here..."

Back to the Spotlight (1/3)

I saw these dorks hanging out at the event and was immediately inspired.

#WoadXIV | #Gpose

Yeah... it's probably good that Mahkhal doesn't really tag along for adventures.

#WoadXIV | #gpose

Uh-oh, Woad is doing FebHyurary again...though the first time on this account, I guess. This is the thread! 🧵
(shout-outs to @eliara-wol.bsky.social for setting it up as always!)

#WoadXIV | #FebHyurary

Calco, a Midlander Viper, and Makara, a Hrothgar Sage, fighting a large Reaper dressed in brown and black skeletal armor that obscures them completely, within a dark cavern.

Kyanite and Andesine, Half-Miqo'te twins dressed in blue and red, looking considerably more experienced than usual, stand ready to fight a fiery woman wielding two glowing swords, within a lava-filled cavern.

Kyo, an Elezen Dark Knight, and Core, a Lalafell Black Mage, in the midst of battle atop a mountain shrine against a wind-wielding lancer calling upon the great power of the dragon.

Alhena, a Miqo'te Mystic Knight, and Bryhna, a Midlander Astrologian, defending themselves from a flurry of strikes courtesy of a water-wielding Monk. Their opponent is barely visible behind the attack.

"One is all, all is one..."

(please ignore the fact I forgot to lock time and it suddenly becomes daylight halfway through...)

#gposewrapped2025 I didn't like the longer ones getting cut off on the template so I made my own, much less fancy one.

Step out from the King's shadow. Shatter the wings of glass which bind.

#WoadXIV | #gpose

In addition to touching up the old piece, I'm also adding an additional chapter before the final one in order to tie up a loose end/prepare for another tale down the road.

For now, please enjoy a preview of what this bonus addition entails.

#woadxiv | #gpose

Every time I update the carrd I take a bunch of new screenshots, so here's a handful of my favorites of the new lot

#gpose | #woadxiv

Calco grew up in Thavnair, and while he didn't visit it too often when he was young, now returning his favorite place is undoubtably Kadjaya's Footsteps.

There's simply no greater view of his home than here.

#WoadXIV

Perhaps, in another time, it was the other sibling who wore the mantle of hero...

#gpose | #woadxiv

Kyo Nakahara. Hingan born, but of Ishgardian blood. A vagrant knight who failed to protect what mattered most, and now fights to prevent any more tragedy, wielding the selfsame darkness that once controlled him.

Reach Out to the Truth

Celebrating this season, the whole gang dressed up as a certain other group of heroes (even if some costumes definitely turned out better than others).

What myriad truths will they uncover this holiday, I wonder...?

#WoadXIV | #gpose

Hold out.

#gpose | #WoadXIV

A singular moment captured in ink, preserved now for an eternity, and cherished for a lifetime.

#gpose | #WoadXIV

Face out.

#gpose | #WoadXIV

I think I've finally, finally found a shader I really like, so that combined with trying to learn the Gpose lighting system more naturally meant I had to do yet another episode of test screenshots, this time featuring Makara.

Calco fighting alongside (contrary to his words) the most important people in his life

This is still canon.
