us election in ffxiv terms

I've seen a few people trying to paint Kamala Harris as Wuk Lamat, and I think that's an incorrect assessment. Wuk Lamat would have been closer to AOC running for election the first time - qualified, but had to prove herself by winning.... and she did.

No, the current US election is the choice between Lord Vauthry and Admiral Merlwyb.

Lord Vauthry

Nepo Baby. Daddy was rich and powerful so he inherited rule automatically. Elections? There is no such thing. Who needs democracy when you have stability?

Authoritarian. Follow his rules and obey, and be safe. Defy him, and get fed to the fishes.

Sometimes articulate. Sometimes descends into toddler temper tantrums.... considering he still has the husk of his infant toddler human self lodged in his armpit, that's not surprising.

Has no real vision for the future, just wants to stay in power because he believes the world is ending, and so do his people. (Fuck you, Evangelical Zionists that believe Israel must exist for the world to end according to Biblical prophecy. You're the worst kind of Christians.)

Let the poor eat meol.

if you're not part of the 1%, you're a slave and he doesn't care about you.

He loves the poorly educated. They will never question him.

Picked his right hand man because there wasn't anyone else really good for the job. He's not actually scared of Ranjit (Vance) but Ranjit is now just as enthralled as anyone else and can't say no to him even if he wanted to.

Admiral Merlwyb

Pirate's daughter professor's daughter but climbed into politics under her own merits

Looks younger than she is

Experienced, veteran politician now with 20 years of service

Will be the first to admit she's made some mistakes, but has grown and learned her lessons from them

Wants to protect her nation's interests, but will rise to the needs of global problems when required

Allows dissent among the citizens and open criticism of her rule without fear of retaliation

Figured out a solution to keep the pirate crews in check by making them official privateers and giving them free reign to loot the Empire. Tricky problems require tricky solutions. Are they perfect? No. But they're better than anarchy.

Surrunds herself with genuinely good advisors, instead of sycophants. Picked former pirate Eynzahr Slafyrsyn Governor Tim Walz as her right hand man because she knew she needed someone to help her come up with creative solutions to those tricky problems.

Certified badass. Kamala Harris can crack an egg one handed, Admira Merlwyb can shoot a gun one handed.

Anyway, the choice is pretty clear to me. I know which badass lady pirate I'd rather have in charge of my ship for the next four years.

Replayed PoR recently and that put me in the mood to draw some Tellius stuff.

Sometimes, being there for a friend means wrapping them up in a pancake. Works wonders after a long, tiring day. Have you tried it yet :)?

Thinking about Dawntrail Alphinaud. Like, wow, was he ever this obsessed with gathering firewood within the past three expansions?

Maybe he was noted as enjoying gathering firewood the best in Heavensward (or just did it a lot), but that was never a major thing? Why is this suddenly the most defining thing about him for the first half of DT?

Sorry for inactivity here! Some steamy illustrations I drew for new acrylic standees! The water droplets are printed in a 3D material for a more realistic showery feel !
