#I may be guilty of having convinced myself that certain things I've written were pretty okay when in fact they were not.#At least...looking through fresh eyes after a few years makes me feel like I was nowhere near on target for characters' voices as I thought.#But I have enough decency and self-respect not to sacrifice my capacity for creative & critical thought to this lying & thieving POS.#fic & writing related bitching#anti gen ai

The Vessel - [ FFXVI Reward ]
"Come to me, Ifrit..."
I can't even begin to explain how involved this was, but damn if I'm not proud of how it turned out - particularly Ifrit. For someone who doesn't draw creatures very often, I may have found my new thing.
This piece was made for one of my lovely patrons! If you like my work and would like to support it, please consider supporting me on:

#JFC ain't that the truth.#More like every hour of every week day.#You know what? At this point I have to say that if you're not a US person or living in the US--BE GLAD.#It's an embarrassing and terrifying shit show.#And while it's not hopeless... I've created a short list of things that would make me decide to leave the country.#It's like any other abusive relationship and not just a 'rough patch'. If you can leave it you should.#This shouldn't even have had the potential to happen but here the fuck we are.#And I know that if it comes down to bailing...I'll probably face no small amount of prejudice and hatred for having been a US person.#Because historically that's just how it works right? The individual is derided as an effigy for the BS of their country of origin.#It certainly happened to my Irish grandmother when she immigrated to the US. “Need not apply” and all that shit.#No sympathy or compassion for the plight she had had no control over and had to escape back then.#Anyway. I'm counting the cost and hating every bit of it. I did not vote for this. I voted for Harris.#I can't concentrate on anything I enjoy on the day to day and it feels like all of the decisions I might have to make in the long term are#going to SUCK no matter what I do or how responsibly I try to do it. 😔#off topic#us politics

remember when you’re writing a gross and terrible power dynamic that you should be asking yourself constantly how you could make it worse and sexier

And when the spiraling storms of scarlet and cerulean coincide, then shall your suffering cease.
#I was NOT aware that this is an actual fucking quote.#It's from the bonus Infernal Shadow fight if you can pull off all S's in Kairos Gate.#I've not been able to get all S's and wasn't aware there was more Ultima dialog!#(As a matter of personal pride I don't watch playthroughs for gameplay refs. Prefer to figure that out myself. Someone only today tipped me#off that Ultima had something to say here.)#And that “Are you not...Mythos?” at the end is soooo pouty. Sorrowful even.#🥹

Whenever an artist who makes dark content gets outed as a sexual predator people will be like 'aha it was obvious something was up because their work was so dark and nasty' and whenever an artist who makes wholesome content gets outed as a sexual predator people will be like 'aha it was obvious something was up because their work was so aggressively wholesome' and it's like you know I think maybe you can't tell whether or not someone is a predator based on their artistic output.
#Yeahhh...I noticed this bullshit from the Gaiman fallout too.#Most of the time the only things really going on with the artists/writers behind the darker shit are morbid curiosity & angst processing.#Fuck-tato tot over there was an exception to the rule.#fic related bitching#Because I dabble in darker things.

Listen, sometimes a ship is less about wanting them to kiss or have sex or whatever, and more about needing them to be so endlessly intertwined and connected to the point where they might as well be one creature.
#Yeah...#This is my Ultima/Clive schtick.#XVI pretty much hands the idea to you on a delightfully disturbing platter.#(And yet I'm still somehow in rarepair hell.)

FYI, while I'm still reachable on here, I'm much more active over on Bluesky under the below name. Much less VII focused than I used to be; much more XVI and a smattering of Arcane.

@otnesse Here you go. It's not something that was publicly shared on their site. It was specially commissioned by a follower who was then kind enough to gift it to me.

Me watching most of a "full film" of the French version of FFXVI (which, by the way, is based on the Japanese version): Huh, lots of differences here and there.
Scene where Ultima is defeated and is absorbed by Clive (roughly translated): "Poor fools. Even if we're gone, as long as this world exists, the supreme reason will remain. You shall painfully writhe in a coffin, slowly sinking in the darkness."
Me:
#ffxvi#The Origin Localization Issue#(This bit isn't terrible. No wild philosophical departures at any rate.)
