A gpose of Minfilia holding a large bouquet of pink roses at sunrise. She is wearing a white regency inspired gown. Her expression is that of subdued mischievous intrigue-- she bites her lip and attempts to keep calm. She's excited at the thought of the gardener/stable boy/thorn-in-her-side Vaya having left this gift for her, being able to tell it was from the lass due to her having mentioned something about roses earlier. The game is afoot, and the ball is in Minfilia's court...

A closer shot of her expression. She's a touch flushed in the cheeks, and her eyes sparkle brightly.

Miss Minfilia Warde received a gorgeous bouquet from a secret admirer! With such perfect blooms, it must be a rich fellow. Unless, perhaps it was the gardener lass she bickers with all day long... I jest, I jest!

been watching bridgerton w my bestie... i am not immune..
#minfilia #minvaya #drkGPOSE

a gpose of minfilia (she/her) glaring down at her desk (and the contents of it) as her wife, vaya (she/he) hugs her from behind. the scene is set in minfilia's dimly lit personal study, her having stayed up concerningly late to pursue her research into something she must find troubling. she's wearing a black bra and baggy sweatpants, as well as glasses, indicating she might have been intending to sleep sooner but chose to do otherwise. again, this is not at all canon, i just think she's hot.

not remotely canon gpose but I wanted to take a pic of minfi looking hawt ✌️😔✌️ #minfilia #minvaya

#bayaverse / i do think its really funny #minvaya are Like That considering they never even kissed in arr. vaya's deadwifemaxxing over a woman he didn't even know he was into until he learned she died forreal. THEY HADNT EVEN KISSED!! THE BLOODY BANQUET WASNT EVEN A TOTALLY OFFICIAL DATE!!!

A gpose of Minfilia (she/her, hyur with long blonde hair, medium brown skin, and bright blue eyes) lightly dipping her wife Vaya (she/he, miqo'te with pink hair, tan skin, and a yellow eye), much to his surprise. Flower petals rain from above as Minfilia gently holds her butch in a very princely manner, which is certainly a far cry from what Vaya expected the day to be like. If it's what his wife demands... but he can't claim she doesn't excel at being a seneschal, down to making her "lady" feel special...

Another angle of the same pose, this one better showing Minfilia's dashing expression as she grazes Vaya's hand. Vaya is slightly flushed in the face as he looks up at Minfilia with wide eyes. A little bead of sweat rolls down his cheek.

Minfilia's request for her doting seneschal this year was... that *she* would be the seneschal instead?! 😳🌸

happy little ladies day!! #minvaya #drkGPOSE

(mumbling through tears) they say the devil's water, it ain't so sweet. you don't have to drink right now, but you can dip your feet every once in a little while...

SHE DOESN'T LOOK A THING LIKE JESUSSSS BUT SHE TALKS LIKE A GENTLEMAN, JUST LIKE YOU IMAGINED WHEN YOU WERE YOUUUUUNG 😭😭😭 #minvaya

a tumblr post (originally by solisaureus) edited to be by minfilia (username "theseventhdawn") that is of two pictures of a'vaya (she/he, miqo'te) looking stunned while covered in lipstick smudges. the caption reads "came home drunk last night and got way too excited to see my wife"

#minvaya giggling

a gpose of vaya (she/he, miqo'te) and minfilia (she/her, hyur) having a moment to themselves in the grassy plains of their island home at sunrise. they are both wearing denim pants and are lacking proper shirts. the sight of them kissing is obfuscated by the tall blades of grass, invoking the idea that they are in their own little world.

i'd be home with you #minvaya #drkGPOSE

vaya and minfilia standing close while talking in sharlayan

DO YOU BELIEEEEVEEE IN LOOOOOVE #minvaya i just wanted to look at them its low effort

some of my #minvaya favorites ehehe.... they have the range baby !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

old art. a drawing posed as a fake romance novel cover, featuring minfilia and a'vaya. it mischaracterizes both of them, making a'vaya a dominant and forward suitor and minfilia a helpless woman. it's very much meant to resemble what the people of eorzea *think* their warrior of light is like. a'vaya is pinning minfilia to a thick marble pillar, looking over his shoulder with a disgruntled expression. minfilia holds her arms above her head daintily and looks at the viewer with a demure expression. i, again, cannot stress enough how much this is not true to their dynamic. the title of this book is "The Sinful Tiger's Devotion" authored by drkcat. the tagline reads "is her devotion love... or hunger?"

i remember when i saw the romance cover tag come through i jumped on it IMMEDIATELY... who wanna have book club with me 😳

yes boss ! #minvaya #drkGPOSE

a gpose primarily of vaya's chest with minfilia's arm draped over her shoulder. vaya is wearing a necklace of a rainbow crystal hung by a pink cord with a ring hanging off of it. minfilia has a matching ring, worn on her left ring finger.

close up of minfilia's ring. a small glowing blue gem sits in the center of a golden rose. underneath the rose is a golden metal wing with a line of blue gems in the center.

a close of of vaya's necklace. the aforementioned rainbow crystal is meant to be from the big eden crystal, and the pink cord is either directly or in homage to ryne's pink ribbon. his wedding ring is the exact same as minfilia's and hangs on the cord.

MNVY WEDDING RINGS ARE FINALLY REAL AHAHAHAH #minvaya

a gpose of a'vaya (miqo'te, pink hair with white streaks, one golden eye and the other covered by a rose eyepatch) and minfilia as a knight and princess duo in the castle ruins of lakeland. the focus is primarily on a'vaya as he looks out of the corner of his good eye to watch minfilia smile and gesture to a bird. he has a very faint smile, and his pupil is blown wide looking at them.

from a different angle, we can see that minfilia daintily has her hand resting in a'vaya's open palm, his fingers ever so slightly curling around hers, but he dares not truly hold his lady's hand. he glances to their touching hands with the same faint smile and wide pupils.

it needs not be spoken.
#minvaya #drkGPOSE

the brief moment of #minvaya toxicity in arr is so good i love that minfilia was nasty to vaya Once and it changed everything. minfilia told her "i need YOU to achieve my goals and you need *me* because one day that axe is going to break and you'll have nobody behind you. nobody, save for me"

a vibrant gpose taken in il mheg of vaya and minfilia. vaya is carrying minfilia bridal style and spinning around with her. they are both smiling brightly.

a gpose of ryne and gaia on the steps outside of lyhe ghiah. ryne is on a lower step, offering his hand up to gaia like a fairy tale prince. gaia takes his hand, her other one close to her face as if she's trying to mask her embarrassment by laughing at ryne for being cheesy.

a gpose of y'shtola and lovelace standing in the flower fields of il mheg. lovelace is holding a large bouquet of pastel pink roses and y'shtola is standing next to her, pulling her head down and gripping lovelace's wrist. somehow, the vibes of this are not romantic in the slightest and it feels like lovelace is about to shove the bouquet into y'shtola's arms and storm off. lesbian tension

a gpose of krile, lyse, alisaie, and urianger under a tree in il mheg at sunset. alisaie is pulling urianger up from where she was sitting under the tree as krile and lyse smile and laugh. to be clear, this is not ship-- lesbian friendship is important too!

💗🤍🧡☀️ a day without lesbians is like a day without sunshine! ☀️🧡🤍💗

#minvaya #rynegaia #shtolace #lyse #krile #alisaie #urianger #drkGPOSE

a gpose of A'vaya standing and holding a watermelon. he is wearing an open vacation shirt and shorts, as well as a visor and sunglasses. he looks displeased as minfilia stands in front of him and takes his photo.

minfilia smiling brightly as she shows a'vaya the picture she took, which is mostly of her wife's boobs. she did this on purpose and has no regrets.

minfilia thinks the camera is a wonderful invention for capturing the best moments of life #minvaya #drkGPOSE

A gpose that is reminiscent of a screenshot from a tv show. Minfilia and A'vaya stand in a grand ballroom as if they were a socialite and her escort, both looking on at someone off screen. Minfilia wears a stunning red gown and has her hair styled nicely, and she has a barely subdued mischievous grin on her face. A'vaya has brunette hair and wears the bouncer's attire. At the bottom of the screen, there are subtitles. [A'VAYA] I can't stand that bastard's smug face. [MINFILIA] He won't be wearing it much longer, A'vaya. Trust in the plan.

another fake screenshot of a new scene, now taking place in a secluded hallway. Minfilia is doubled over, seemingly in the middle of catching her breath as she looks up at A'vaya standing next to her with an exasperated expression. A'vaya has a hand on Minfilia's back and uses the other hand to gesture while he shrugs. This picture has ui as if someone had moved their mouse while watching the show, displaying the episode details, notably that the episode isn't even half way over. There are subtitles. [MINFILIA] There's no way this could get worse! [A'VAYA] Oh, sure it could. Plenty of ways, honestly.

another scene, now in the main ballroom. A'vaya has collapsed onto his butt, propping himself up to look at the scene before him. His expression is not visible, but he is absolutely bewildered by the fact that the several burly bodyguards in front of him are knocked out cold on the ground while Minfilia stands behind them wielding a rocking chair as a weapon. She looks just as confused as one might expect a woman to be after her plan failed so spectacularly that she had to resort to attacking assailants with furniture. She says... [MINFILIA] I... wasn't expecting that to actually work.

the final scene, this time taking place back at the rising stones headquarters with the two in casual attire. A'vaya sits on the bar counter shirtless (though holding his chest as a tasteful censor, this show is *somehow* TV-PG despite the subject matter) with several bruises across his body and face. He looks up at Minfilia, who is holding his face with one hand and has her other on his thigh. She looks at his with concern as she speaks, but A'vaya remains steely. The subtitles read... [MINFILIA] I'm sorry for today, A'vaya... you can expect due compensation in your next check. [A'VAYA] Do I look like I want money?

#WolfiliaWeek2025 Day 4: AU

Leverage: Eorzea S2E9 - The Party Crasher Job
Minfilia devises a master plan to infiltrate and ruin a corrupt socialite's party with A'vaya as her plus one, but soon finds they were not the only ones intending on crashing the event.
#minvaya #drkGPOSE

a gpose set in the solar of the rising stones. A'vaya and Minfilia cling to each other while sitting on the floor, A'vaya protectively holding Minfilia close after their conflict with Nabriales. A'vaya bows her head close to Minfilia's, while Minfilia looks on in shock horror to Moenbryda's axe laying on the ground. Tears prick at her eyes.

#WolfiliaWeek2025 Day 3: Safety

Safety, but at what cost?
#minvaya #drkGPOSE

A gpose of a cluttered room with many windows. It is somewhat of a greenhouse with many plants decorating the stone floor, as well as a marble fountain towards the back that is draped over with a soft teal canopy. Sunlight streams through the windowed wall, bathing a rattan sofa in soft light. On the sofa, A'vaya sits with Minfilia's head in his lap as she lies down for a nap. The starbird sits on Minfilia's hip, looking at A'vaya and likely chirping to him.

#WolfiliaWeek2025 Day 2: Gift

Vaya built this sanctuary for Minfilia and the starbird to have somewhere peaceful to hide away. It's overly cluttered because he kept coming up with things he thought they'd like, and suddenly... 100/100 items placed 🥹💖
#minvaya #drkGPOSE

a gpose in vertical format. a row boat sits in the middle of silvertear lake in the night, the crystal tower standing in the distance behind it. the tower and the starry sky shine brilliantly, reflecting in the deep blue waters below. within the boat, A'vaya (miqo'te, pink hair with white streaks, she/he) and Minfilia share their first kiss. A'vaya is practically climbing into Minfilia's lap, not that she minds.

#WolfiliaWeek2025 Day 1: First kiss

The night before the scions depart for Old Sharlayan and begin their final battle to defend the star's future, Vaya and Minfilia manage to find the time to do something they'd both regretted not doing years ago.
#minvaya #drkGPOSE

a picture of minfilia taking a selfie normally, smiling pleasantly, and vaya in the back of the picture staring at the phone with wide eyes and slit pupils, vaguely concerned

dude why does the warrior of light take selfies looking like she wants to blow the tomestone up with her mind #drkGPOSE #minvaya

a gpose of vaya and minfilia cuddling in a patch of grass with the sunset behind them. vaya leans into the crook of minfilia's neck, smiling happily with his eyes shut. minfilia has her head resting on vaya's and her arm around his shoulder. she gently caresses his jaw with her other hand. they are so in love.

I'll be with you forever and a day 💖 #drkGPOSE #minvaya

a drawing by @sseassaltss.bsky.social of my wol A'vaya and my Minfilia design. A'vaya has her arms crossed and is looking to the side, face covered in red lipstick marks. Minfilia stands behind/leaning onto her wife, holding her close while looking to the side. She is wearing smeared red lipstick and sticks her tongue out playfully. They are so cute.

EXTREMELY CUTIEFUL #minvaya I GOT FROM @sseassaltss.bsky.social !!! THANK YOUUU 💋🥺💖

A gpose of Minfilia and Vaya standing in the flower fields of Il Mheg. Minfilia is turning around to face Vaya with a smile, giving her his hand.

a shared dream 💖 #drkGPOSE #minvaya

a monochrome pink toned sketch of minfilia and a'vaya. a'vaya is holding a rose bouquet and blushing with a nervous smile, and minfilia is grinning widely as she takes a bite out of a heart shaped chocolate.

valentione's gifts from the wives 🥺💖 #minvaya #drkart

#minvaya #bayaverse / im emotional rn about how minfilia is anosmic and she adores vaya's cooking. eating isnt JUST about flavor ofc, for her its the fact that she has someone who puts in such effort to give her nutritious and fresh meals every day after 100 years of not eating 🥺

#drkqotd #minvaya ummm haha vaya realized she was in love with minfilia after the antitower :) thats when she put the word to the feeling. it was crushing for her. and then she never spoke of it forrr (checks) like 3? 4? years? good times !

Set in Mor Dhona in 2.x. A'vaya is tending to her chocobo, Sunshine, as Minfilia approaches. MINFILIA, offscreen: A'vaya! A'VAYA, ears perking up in excitement: Minfilia? MINFILIA: Hello! A'VAYA: Hey. SUNSHINE: Kweh? MINFILIA: Oh! Your chocobo, I assume? Minfilia goes to pet Sunshine.

MINFILIA: Hello there... Sunshine snaps at Minfilia's outstretched hand, thankfully she pulled it away in time. MINFILIA: Ah! A'vaya grabs Sunshine's head and pulls her towards her. A'VAYA: Sunshine, bad girl! SUNSHINE, dejected: Kweh...

Sunshine leans into A'vaya's head with a heart speech bubble. A'VAYA: Ugh, Sunny... Sorry about that. She's old as hell and her vision is going. So the next best way to see shit is-- Sunshine snips A'vaya's finger as she moves it past her face. A'VAYA: OW-- biting. But, y'know, she's /my/ oversized chicken. Love her to death. Minfilia hums with a smile.

Minfilia pets Sunshine's beak. THere is a light pink aura around her. MINFLIA: Sunshine, was it? She's very cute. A close up of A'vaya's eyes sparkling, background of the panel pink with sparkles surrounding her. A'VAYA, internally: Cute...? A'VAYA, out loud, looking away awkwardly: Yeah, well. You look just like her.
