WORTH A THOUSAND WORDS

This posting is listed in big bold swirly letters on all Manta Boards:

AHOY! HELP WANTED. THINK YOU’VE GOT WHAT IT TAKES TO BE THE FACE OF ESCORDVI’S VERY FIRST ADVENT CALENDAR? POST YOUR GLAMOROUS PICTURES TODAY. POST THEM NOW!

A group of collaborators is looking to put together Escordvi’s very first annual advent calendar. For its inaugural year, they want to compile a collection of pictures of beautiful riftfarers to represent each month. These pictures can range anywhere from beauty shots, to thirsty body shots, to tasteful fashion poses. Anything goes!

Have your character post their own (or their friends, enemies, boyfriends, girlfriends, dogs) photos to this network post. NPCS can also be used to post photos. Then feel free to comment around on the photos with which month or season you think would suit them best. Or just comment about how much you like the photos. Who’s hot? Who’s not? Or about how horrified you are that someone posted yours! Any and all feedback is needed so they can create the best calendar ever!

At the end of the month, an advent calendar for 2025 will be created! If there are enough submissions, there will be multiple calendars so don't be shy or think you'll be left out! For ease of use, the calendar has been broken down into the four seasons so that multiple themed shots can be posted. Get posting!

PLEASE USE THE FORMATTING CODE PROVIDED IN EACH TOPLEVEL! Putting the character's name in the subject line is optional but helpful for quick reference. Any who don't follow instructions will have their comment screened so it can be edited. This is mostly to ensure images are not too large and stretching pages. Please try to crop images to best fit the code, especially long ones. The code will automatically resize images to a max width of 300px, so an image with a 3:4 or 3:5 ratio would be ideal.

Hey, it's me. I think I'd make a great Mr. April.

[empyrean_mirror]

Not too subtle, are you?

[Pot, kettle.]

[pinksidekicking]

Surround him with some flowers from Aerith's garden and animals, then it's the perfect spring calendar picture.

[Reacts to the post with the 👍 for his vote. Yep, definitely spring.]

If there's one person who personifies spring, it's this guy. I think the perfect month would be right when it starts to turn warm, but you still get that little bit of rain to cool things off.

My guy there's supposed to be a person in that picture not just sunshine you put a bunch of heart emojis all over.

Dunno if they'd let nerds onto the calendar though.

Azita

A very touching scene was given to be today and I was fortunate to capture the moment. The man claimed the beast's name was Azita, but would not give me his own before flying off.

Midadol (Mid) Telamon

She told me if I ever called her by her full name again she'd punch me but I don't want her dad to get mad at me either so I put both. Mid if you see this don't kick my ass.

[activatingcombatmode]

Pretty girl. Didn't know you were talking to one, man! Good for you!

[ ... Wait, is this just clicking for Clive?

DOES THIS MEAN SOMETHING... ]

A bold but appropriate choice. Have you two been getting along?

[garudas]

Might I suggest you quickly find a good place to hide?

[Oh, but she is going to enjoy this when it happens.]

[catsgothistongue]

[huh. this is an unexpected development he didn't see coming.]

Why would her dad get mad at you? It's just a name.

[... missing a few details here cuz most parents in ranmas world are rearing to get their daughters married off and aren't so violently protective over their baby girls (except for when they (soun) believe the guy (him) is cheating on the girl)]

While I can't disagree on the selection, I have to wonder why you'd think I'd get mad.

[Or why his opinion matters that much. Or why Denji of all people posted this. Certain paternal alarm bells are ringing.]

I wasn't aware you two were acquainted.

But if you're worried about Cid, just how acquainted are we speaking of?

[DENJI, ARE YOU GONNA BE MID'S PLUS ONE AT THE WEDDING?]

Dapplewhisker

With a ribbon she took a liking to I do believe Dapplewhisker does look absolutely precious with how neatly she posed. As beautiful as a newly bloomed spring flower.
