(sigh-ruh fem-duck)

Paladin main, gposer, home decorator and enthusiast, and owner of Excalibur's infamous Waffle Home, The Great Below.

Nice to meet you!

If you're here, you probably checked out my adventure plate, or we met a while back at Fan Fest!

★ Housing Portfolio ★

I have always had great interest in home decor, whether it be in the Mog Rooms in Final Fantasy XI, insane house builds in The Sims, or right here in Eorzea. I've had the pleasure of owning my own personal home in the Lavender Beds since 2016, and being the decorator for my free company, The Discordians.Over the years I've also helped other people design their homes and FC rooms, and even gotten to decorate their homes myself. In my free time online, I like to go "house hunting," where I hop on my mount and go to random houses in random wards. I always love seeing what other people come up with!If you stop by any of my properties (my personal home, FC house, or FC room), please leave a note with your address so I can visit you, too! Also feel free to drop a note at the other properties, too!Fun fact: I also enjoy home decor in real life. We just bought our first home, and I'm super excited to start a lot of the projects. My office is 90% complete, and it's so awesome being able to paint walls whatever color you like!The free company mansion basement was done in collaboration with Sevrin Esmour.

★ Free Company Room ★

Excalibur : Mist : Ward 26 : Plot 2 : Room 15

It is very rare that I change my free company room (I think this is the fourth iteration of it in ten years), but any time I do, it's a big change. This was done some time in 2023--I was inspired by a design Adelaide Dupre had done in the past.My previous design was a cabin design, but I wanted something with more greenery, so I took inspiration from their design and added a portal to the outdoors and switched a more open layout, creating a lot more space and a much cozier environment.

★ Free Company Mansion ★

Excalibur : Mist : Ward 26 : Plot 2

As the resident Discordians decorator, I take pride in providing a lovely environment for our free company to enjoy. I change the décor several times a year: Halloween, Christmas, Valentine's Day, St. Patrick's Day, Easter, and the spring and summer season.Make sure to stop by and check it out! I may not update the gallery very often, and sometimes I like to make some layout changes to the main floor!The basement was done in collaboration with Sevrin Esmour.

★ Personal Cottage ★

Excalibur : Lavender Beds : Ward 8 : Plot 19

Much like the Discordians house, I change my personal cottage with the holidays and seasons. Make sure to stop by frequently and check out the different decorations! Again, if you do stop by, make sure to leave a note in the book with your address so I can swing by your place, too (even if it's an apartment, I still want to see it)!Although it has not been open as often, keep an eye on party finder for any openings at The Great Below. Especially for those wild Waffle Home hours.

★ Katrin Jaeger's Personal Cottage ★

Excalibur : Empyreum : Ward 29 : Plot 54

Katrin Jaeger's home is absolutely beautiful! We just redecorated her basement for a second time (April 2025)! Her entry level is all her, and an absolute marvel. Her guest book is upstairs, so please be sure to leave a note!In the basement, Katrin did the stage and backstage area. I added the stage seating and did the rest of the basement. She told me she wanted a prohibition-era style bar with books, and I had a vision! She just applied the purple, brown and black color scheme, and voila!Swing by and have a look!

★ Cymrych Faryl's Personal House ★

Excalibur : Lavender Beds : Ward 11 : Plot 27

Cymrych had an empty house for a long time, so I had asked if I could decorate it since I was tired of visiting an empty home (LOL). He said to totally go for it, and let him know if I needed him to craft anything. The challenge I put on myself for this house was to use up most of the items he already had collected over the years, and then craft things that were supplemental to them. I recently reached out and discussed a redesign, so keep an eye out on his house!

★ Senpan Tea House: Yumitsu Onsen ★

Exodus : Lavender Beds : Ward 26 : Plot 3

Senpan Tea House is one of the venues that actually inspired me to turn my home into a cafe. Yaoi Overlord is an incredibly kind viera who puts her heart and soul into this venue. I asked her if I could design a room in her FC house with an onsen theme, and we got straight to it. We collaborated and worked together for hours executing our perfect vision. It's one of the most popular rooms at Senpan today!PLEASE NOTE: Prior to visiting the Yumitsu Onsen, please ensure that Senpan is open for business, and you ask Yaoi-san for permission to view the room. Hours and more information about her venue can be found by clicking here.

★ Character Gpose Gallery ★

We all know that housing, glams, and gpose are the true end game of Final Fantasy XIV. I have done gposes for other people (and happy to do them for you, too!) as well, but I wanted to share some (okay, it's kind of a lot) of my favorite gpose screenshots of Siyra.Fun fact: Siyra's hair in-game reflects my hair IRL as closely as possible, which is why her hair color is constantly changing.The screenshots below are in order from oldest to newest, starting in late 2021. Hover over the images if you'd like to read their captions!I need to update this gallery with Dawntrail screenshots! I'll do that next. :)
