personal DNI/BYF

i am currently in a phase of my life where i am placing my primary focus on personal healing. i have been pruning my social media feeds and interactions to be as conducive as possible to said healing. for me, this includes avoiding certain content with themes that my body reacts very negatively to. please understand that i cannot choose what my body has strong reactions to, but i CAN choose the sort of things that i am exposed to, so i control the things that i can.

for my own sake, i ask that you please do not interact with me on social media if you regularly create or interact with content that involves the following themes:

loli/shota, incest, noncon/rape kink, underage NSFW, lalafell NSFW, child abuse (sexual or otherwise), minor+adult shipping, raceplay (QoS/QoH/"blacked"), zoophilia, untagged(!!) gore/graphic media

additionally, please don't use my mods to make such content.

this list is not intended to be any sort of moral judgement towards those who enjoy such themes in fiction*. i know that i am certainly no moral arbiter. this list only exists so i can safely interact with fandom without the constant fear of physical and mental distress. i will never go out of my way to bother anybody who produces such content, so please show mutual respect and do not expose me to them. thank you.

also, please do not take it personally if i block you. i am fast and loose and usually impersonal with my blocks and it is really not worth getting upset or annoyed about— i'm just taking the steps i need to avoid the sort of content that i know is not good for me. i also sometimes block if i know for sure that i really won't get along with a person, to spare us both from potential unpleasant interactions, or if i can tell that someone is not trauma-informed.

i am literally just one guy on the internet and my opinion of you, or anything you post, should mean nothing to you anyways. i promise there's better things to get upset about.
*except QoS/QoH that shit is literally just racist cmon

more to come in the future...?

modding

most of my mods are vanilla-style, using vanilla assets that are repurposed in some fashion. i'm totally okay with edits to them being made and posted, but i do have a few caveats about things i'd really rather not have associated with my work, which are listed in my XMA profile. "why certain bodies?"

if you're having trouble with something modding related, i really enjoy helping people out and i'd be happy to give you some pointers if it's something in my wheelhouse. i hang out in the official textools discord and vanilla creatives discord a lot to provide modding support, so feel free to post in one of those places if you need something! please no mod tech support DMs though!

if you are interested in a paid mod commission, though, and my commissions are open, i am willing to discuss those via DMs. my messages are always open on tumblr, and if you're on bluesky or discord, you can send me a ping on either platform and from there i can get you into my DMs. you can find my commission TOS and pricing at the bottom of this page.

if you'd like to support me because i helped you out with a mod or made something you really like, i have a ko-fi that is linked on my XMA bio. any tips are super super appreciated but never necessary. i don't ever paywall my mods but i'm more than happy to accept a thank-you dono!

regarding TOS

if you'd like an explanation for why i have certain bodies blacklisted for upscales of my mods in my TOS— namely nofflefit/nofflebones, eve, juno, okaa-san, and hyacinth— the creators of those bodies have either expressed support for, or personally created content of, minor or minor-coded characters in sexual situations. i am deeply, deeply uncomfortable with such content and do not want my work associated with it even to the slightest degree.

as stated in my DNI, this is not done out of any moral reasons. i am not casting any moral judgement on anyone who uses those bodies. i know i am no arbiter. it's simply to protect my own mental wellbeing. please respect this boundary.

apres moi is blacklisted for a different reason, that being its creator's poor reputation in the modding community as a scammer. they have been permanently banned from XMA and multiple modding discords for this reason, and i do not want my work associated with such a person.

about

just a few things about me that might make interaction with me a little smoother

-i am usually fairly nervous when i first interact with someone, but i generally like making new friends regardless! i get antsy about my impression on people so i'm often really shy, but rest assured i am trying my best orz

-i am generally fairly bad at DMs! i have bad associations with DMs and feel pretty awkward/nervous getting them usually. if you want to show me something i'd much rather be publicy @'d or pinged! obviously if something is particularly urgent or personal a DM might be ok, but if you could ask me before DMing that would make it a lot better for me. thank you!

-i sometimes have issues reading tone and figuring out whether something is a joke or not. please don't take it personally if i react this way to you! clarifying with emotes or tone indicators is super appreciated!

-i often have low social battery and have trouble figuring out how to respond to messages sometimes. if this happens to you, it's probably not your fault, so please don't feel too bad!

modding commission prices

commission status: CLOSED
this will change periodically and i will likely post about it on my bluesky when it does!please try to have ideas in mind when coming to me for a commission, at least vague ones! if you aren't 100% sure on what you want, i'm happy to discuss and come up with something that works for you. i'm willing to work with a large majority of the game's existing vanilla assets, so feel free to mention anything you've seen in-game and i'll likely be able to play with it.i am also willing to work with assets from existing mods from other creators as long as their permissions allow it.i am willing to work with non-ffxiv assets too. if it's a model sourced from a public models repo (turbosquid, sketchfab, etc), the author MUST allow private commission edits in their TOU.i can also work with models ripped from other games. bear in mind, though, that games all have different graphics engines, and therefore it might require more model and/or texture work to get outsourced models to work in ffxiv, which may call for upcharges or denial of commission depending on complexity.i do not require any commissions taken to be made public, but if you're okay with a commissioned mod going public, i am willing to upload it to XMA and will credit you as the commissioner (unless you'd rather stay anonymous).likewise, i'm okay with you sharing commissioned mods with your friends. if you or another modder makes an edit to them, feel free to post them publicly as long as you credit me in the post, but please do not publish commissioned mods as-is on your own mod pages! i prefer to publish them on mine.these prices are solely due to the time, effort, and knowledge required to create mods. i am not charging for the game assets themselves.i reserve the right to deny a commission if i feel that it's out of my skillset or would not be possible due to game limitations (eg material limits, skeleton constraints, etc).though i cannot and will not explicitly say what you can and can't do with the mods i make, i strongly request that you not use any mods commissioned from me for any of the content listed in my XMA profile bio. thank you.all payment will be done via my ko-fi. once the mod has been delivered and payment has been taken, i will not offer refunds.if a game update happens to break any mod you have commissioned from me, let me know and i'll try my best to get it fixed. it may take some time depending on how fast the change gets sorted out, but i follow modding circles pretty closely so i usually have a good pulse on any major game changes.

~PRICING (all prices in USD):
-custom wing mount mod: $10 for just rerigging with no extra edits besides removing VFX
-extra $5 for diffuse/specular recolors
-simple colorset edits are free
-extra $5 for add-ons (halos, pauldrons, floating bits, etc). these will likely come with an on/off toggle.
-extra $5 for basic vanilla VFX swaps, increased to $10 for more complex VFX edits (swapping multiple VFX colors, changing binding placement, etc)
-extra $5 for vanilla mount music swaps, increased to $10 for custom mount BGM songs-custom horn edit: $15. i can do these for either vanilla horns or any existing custom horns, either mine or another's. i can either keep them on a headgear slot or attach them directly to a head model.
-custom horn recolor to match a different scale color: $5
-attaching existing horns directly to a head sculpt: i am willing to teach this for free and have written a guide for it! but if you're having trouble or would rather not do it yourself, i will for $5
-porting EXISTING horn decoration to a specific horn shape: $5 per deco option. i can port these either onto an accessory slot or as a player head toggle
-CUSTOM vanilla horn decoration options: starting at $10 for one, $5 extra per added option. i can make these either for one of my horn models, vanilla horns, or other modded horns-FTM/MTF vanilla gear ports: $5 per gear piece, extra $5 for BOTH FTM and MTF. i am only willing to port these to vanilla bodies or base TBSE/bibo as i do not feel comfortable enough in my skill level to do upscales for others; please feel free to take them to someone else afterwards for other bodies!
-simple vanilla gear edits: i highly encourage folks to learn to do these yourself in blender bc i think it's fairly approachable, but if you're having trouble or would rather not, i'll do these for $5
-custom ears/tail using existing vanilla assets: starting at $10, can go up to $20 based on complexity (changing textures to hair shader, adding toggles, etc).if there's something you're interested in commissioning me for that isn't listed here, feel free to ask about it, but i can't guarantee that i'll be able to help you with it.
