This came together because I was browsing cake designs for no reason and came across the dripping cake designs.
Being hyper-fixated on Final Fantasy XV “at the time” (still to this DAY), my natural reaction was “OH! Scourge cakes!” (The “Scourge” being an in game plague of sorts). And of course this aligned with the release of the DLC for Final Fantasy XV, Episode Ardyn.
Just a couple months before, the other planned content for FFXV were cancelled during a series of very disappointing live-streamed announcements. So a party like this, complete with an Ardyn Pinata, felt like a nice way to end the FFXV era. (Except the fandom continues to thrive on the scraps of lingering content).
From the bottom of my heart, thank you FFXV for being there when I needed it the most and for representing and meaning so much.
