The Mournful Blade and The Song Upon the Wind

Granson of the Mournful Blade:

[ To live is to die. The world moves in a series of cause and effect, an unrelenting push and pull that you must move with or fight. Death and Justice stand tall in equal measure, rulings made as a close to begin anew. After all, the sun will still rise again tomorrow. ]

In Crimson Mourning

(A small gpose comic I felt proud enough about that I wanted to post it here, too.)

I saw this poem on Tumblr that made me think of the story I usually call bodyguard AU. In it, Hien and Bram meet as children shortly after Bram's mother dies and Bram is taken into the palace as a companion to Hien's studies. Lord Kaien and Hien's mother are still alive and become very fond of him as well.

When they get older, Bram and Hien begin to fall in love, though Bram is initially hesitant because he thinks Hien probably shouldn't be pairing off with a commoner. Hien insists he doesn't care. They begin a tumultuous and very secret relationship.

Bram tells Hien everything and vice versa: save for one singular matter. Bram's absent father is an imperial soldier and what began as a childhood lie born of shame becomes a pretense he carries with him for nearly a decade. He doesn't think it matters. His father is gone. But when Hector resurfaces during an attempted assassination of Lord Kaien, Hien is betrayed.

Despite having never been anything but loyal in the extreme and having only recently sworn an oath to serve Hien as Gosetsu did Lord Kaien, Bram's fealty is called into question by Lord Kaien and he is thrown into the palace gaol while the truth is investigated. Hien has to cope with the apparent loss of his nearest and dearest friend. Bram has to deal with the only lie he ever told robbing him of all he's ever loved.

Im so obsessed with how the Arcadion announcer is responsive to the party’s performance. It’s a small detail but there’s something SO funny about doing your rotation mindlessly hacking away at the boss and you hear something behind you and the announcer goes YOUR TEAMMATE DIED YOUR FUCKING TEAMMATE IS ON THE F L O O R.

[ Foot to the edge of a cliff, the fool pauses. His gaze turns upward to the unknown not yet discovered by him and the wind kisses him in parting. Sunlight coats him, its threads incapable of wearing thin, and with a final breath he falls into the world that waited for him to arrive. ] 💫

not at all serious science poll I’m just curious:

when did you start getting really attached to your WoL? when did it click for you? when did you “fall in love” if you ever did? when did the WoL’s actions and place in the narrative really start to become interesting to you?

the biggest lesson you can ever learn about ffxiv is that stormblood is actually kinda fire when you don't have a bitch in your ear telling you it's bad. the second biggest lesson you can learn about ffxiv is what a prime number is

Why Orion only holds G’raha’s right hand isn’t just because he’s dominantly left handed, but something else he doesn’t say. Luckily, G’raha knows him better than anyone else. 💫✨

“See right through you” or simply “Orion meets Granson and Sidurgu’s Ancient self” 💫✨
