The Updated Cosmogony, written by Ardyn Izunia

Another weekly ISEB Twitter Roundup!

All the hype surrounding Episode: Ardyn and the prologue anime made me hop aboard the bandwagon long enough to doodle a quick portrait of Hobo Trash Jesus ᕕ( ᐛ )ᕗ

I got to Chapter 10 in my PS4 save and had to take a break to draw sad Ignis (╥﹏╥)

I got into my first zine!! ٩( ᐛ )و Thanks to the mods of @cosmogonyzine for accepting my concept, I can’t wait to get started on it. I’m going to reblog the master post in a minute but you can check out the details of it right here!

I finally beat FFXV on my PS4 save last night! I was racing to get through it before EP:A dropped because I was afraid they would pull the FFXIV collaboration with the EP:A update and I needed access to Adamantite in Chapter 15 in order to upgrade all of the exclusive weapons. Completely unbeknownst to me until I posted the two Certificates of Completion side by side was the fact that it was two years TO THE DAY that I beat FFXV for the very first time (cue X-Files music):

That’s all for now! I’ll likely be busy with Cosmogony stuff so I probably won’t have many drawings to post in the month of March, but I’ll try not to leave this blog too barren! (Also shoutout to @hypaalicious it’s always good to see you in my notifs friend <3 <3 <3)

@theorchardofbones a réagi à votre photo “NOW HOLD ON A SECOND CAN WE TALK ABOUT THIS ENTRY The text says that...”

there is a LOT of lore that's just kind of thrown in there. even the fact that ardyn WAS supposed to be the king eventually was just casually mentioned in his bestiary when people speculated over it for the longest time. it makes me wonder if they intended it from the start, or if they've just been adding this stuff in to enrich the story because people complained that the lore was so hollow.

I mean, the Ardyn thing definitely was adressed in the story, it’s even the Big Revelation. He textbook says he was meant to be the blessed king (+ his artworks clearly give him that role). People have just been speculating to decide whether or not he was lying, or whether or not Bahamut was an asshole, or whether the guy that betrayed him was his brother or a stranger, that kind of stuff; but we definitely knew he was there 2,000 years ago and had something to do with royalty and the crystal and all that. So his entry is just confirmation of ideas people have been discussing.

The entry about Ifrit that I was discussing earlier with voxi is kind of new, but it’s logical to me that we get some sort of backstory for him in the bestiary, because he is a very important character/boss even if we don’t see him for long. He is important to the plot so thanks for fleshing him out.

But that thing??? Comes from absolutely nowhere??? I mean I’ve beaten that creature completely randomly because it was in the hunt list or maybe I just stumbled upon it I don’t even remember - but there wasn’t a big deal made out of it, and now I just suddenly learn that I accidentally defeated a giant 2,000 years old creature which was involved in a war I knew nothing about??

I mean I’m definitely okay if they decide to spice up the story or reveal parts that they cut in the process, but... you can’t just hint at something that big and leave me hanging. Come on. 

And I mean, they have been adding buildings and stuff during other updates - they could just add a few cosmogony books here and there giving more info about the general context. They don’t have to hide it in the bestiary. 

(Granted, I would probably miss half of those, but, you know. Consistency and all that.)

~ISEB Master List~

I’ve gained more followers than I had ever anticipated when I started ISEB back in March 2017, so I thought I’d throw together a master list of the content I’ve posted for anyone who has recently discovered this blog and doesn’t feel like trudging through endless pages of NSFW cuts and sheer blocks of text. August 2018 Update: I’ve organized everything into Fanfiction and Fan Art, which are further broken down into Long Works/Headcanons and Digital/Traditional/Comics. November 2019 Update: I’ve added a couple more sections—Zine Pieces can be found under Fan Art, while Tutorials & PDFs have been given their own section at the very bottom of this page. Evidently I’ve broken some invisible limit on how many posts a single page can link to, so I’ve moved all of my Inktober illustrations to a separate page of their own. I’ve tried to keep everything in roughly chronological order, but some related posts have been grouped together regardless of the dates they were posted. Lastly, I’ve gone ahead and redirected everything linking to my longer works of fiction straight to my AO3 account for easier accessibility.

I’ve created a tab within my theme header that links directly to this list for your convenience, and I’ll do my best to keep it updated and periodically reblog it for any newcomers!
