The perks of being a lost flower

[rabbit-illustrations]

It’s done \o/   it was kind of a new thing for me, big groups and a different type of lighting but I just love the idea of the Convocaton’s prayers turned them into this mass  Mostly based on Drakengard 3  also some isolated shots cause I like how some of the individuals came out as well

Ryne and Gaia are like. Such good parallels and foils to each other it makes me just a little insane.

Like Ryne is sweet and caring and she always wants to help others and make them feel better even to the detriment of herself because she has seen and known suffering and doesn't want others to have to live like that too. If she can make someones life better, even if just a little bit, then she will. But she also puts everyone elses well-being and feelings so far above her own that she often ends up trying to help in a way that doesn't actually solve anything because it still ends up with someone hurt (such as trying to properly fuse with Minfilia knowing it might end up with herself disappearing). She's not a doormat, but she does have some people-pleasing tendencies.

Gaia, however, is the exact opposite. She's prickly and sarcastic and thinks of herself and her needs first and foremost, everyone else is secondary. It's not that she's cold or uncaring, she doesn't ignore people's problems, she just doesn't see them as her business most of the time (A product of being raised in Eulemore most likely). She doesn't consider the long-term outcome of what she does or says, she lives solely in the present and the future is a problem for when it happens.

These opposite traits also play into each other. Ryne inspires Gaia to care more about others and Gaia inspires Ryne to prioritize herself more. Gaia makes Ryne live more on the moment without thinking solely of what the future will bring, and Ryne makes Gaia think more on what her life will be going forward and to actually consider what she does and says and how that affects things. They feed into each others good traits (Ryne's caring nature and Gaia's sense of self) while also helping them deal with the bad traits (Ryne's people-pleasing and Gaia's aloofness).

Their pasts are good paralells too. Ryne was isolated and lonely until Thancred took her away but even then, he was distant and emotionally neglectful, so she ended up lonely in an entirely different way. Gaia had a family and caretakers that she wasn't particularly close to, but after the 'Fairy' started talking to her they got even further away until she couldn't even remember them, and the 'Fairy' was the closest thing she had to a friend even though it was what isolated her to begin with. Ryne had constant companionship but no support, and Gaia had 'support' but no companionship.

Even just. Regarding the whole identities thing they are just. Perfect. Ryne has lived with Minfilia's shadow on her shoulder her entire life and never got to learn who she actually is. She thought that she had to become Minfilia for her life to be worth anything, that it's the only way her existance is justified. The person closest to both her and Minfilia(Thancred) indicated(in her mind at least) that he wanted Minfilia to be here in Ryne's stead(which wasn't really the case but she didn't know that). The only way to get her out of that shadow was to remove her from the identity of Minfilia, hence why her new name is so important(as well as the hair and eyes being her natural colors instead of Minfilia's all too recognizable ones).

But Gaia didn't even know about Mitron or Loghrif until Eden. She had the 'Fairy', but to her it was just some voice in her head which was nice enough to her. To her, Loghrif is just some lady Mitron loved, she has no real connection to her. She has a connection to Mitron, both as the 'Fairy' and as remnant feelings from Loghrif, but none to Loghrif herself(aside from the obvious reincarnation stuff). Gaia has always been her name. It may have been Loghrif's originally, but she is so far removed from that identity that even for all of Mitron's effort to 'return' her to Loghrif, it'd never work. Loghrif is Gaia, but Gaia is not Loghrif. Simple as that.

Eden's story works so well because Ryne and Gaia are opposites in that specific way that compliments each other, rather than pits them against each other.

[sirensongsea]

this was their dynamic and you cannot convince me otherwise

[dawntrailing]

"So, Mitron. What shall we do this evening?" "Exactly what we discussed earlier—at length. Ever the forgetful one, aren't you…" Unchanging in their dynamic, be it in labor or leisure. Mitron created life to thrive in the sea, and Loghrif life to thrive upon terra firma. Neighboring realms inextricably linked, and as the waves were forever drawn to the shore, so too were the pair inseparable.

With a chuckle and a shrug, Mitron turned to make for the Macarenses Angle. Loghrif offered some parting pleasantries before jogging to catch up. "So, Mitron. What shall we do this evening?" "Exactly what we discussed earlier─at length. Ever the forgetful one, aren't you..." Unchanging in their dynamic, be it in labor or leisure.[...]Neighboring realms inextricably linked, and as the waves were forever drawn to the shore, so too were the pair inseparable.

Ascian sticker designs, the first three designed around the Unsundered's "last words" (with some tweaks or creative liberties)

I did the Eden's Promise one as a very limited run in 2021, but the other three are still available in my store! They all have a metallic spot finish on parts like the auracite, crystals, fire, and sigil.

A new Tales from the Dawn, with the voted characters...and are we surprised? Hythlodaeus is our POV, as he avoid his "industrious secretary" to head to the Capitol, where he meets familiar(ish) faces of the Convocation in search of his friend.

Before the narrative moves to his perspective on a fateful moment during the Final Days....and then the Encore itself.

You can select Azem/WoL's (binary only) gender on this one, per usual.

My own immediate reactions under the cut:

Poor Byregot.

Definite confirmation both Mitron and Lohgrif were women in the ancient days.

COUSINS?! YOU WANT ME TO THINK LAHA AND IGGY WERE COUSINS?! ...Well anyway, her reincarnations aren't. *continues lowkey trash shipping.*

Twist that knife in with Elidibus why dontcha. Obviously takes place right after Pandaemonium from the convo, and it's the reason for Iggy & Laha's convo, apparently.

Hermes is just. Always having a neurotic breakdown of one kind or another, huh?

And Emet-Selch, and how well these two know one another, while keeping Azem a mystery.

The ending feels like another reference but it's 3am as I read this so haven't the time to delve. But they had to get some blatant things in and it was nice regardless.

Overall, not a bad way to wrap up the final story of these characters.

Emet Selch’s important opinions🤔

(Viera is my Azem! I was too lazy to clip the ears LMAO)

Hi um. Can everyone start yelling about pre sundering mitron and loghrif being lesbians because I for one am fucking yelling

Day 7: Ancient History

I will lay on the 'Artemis was actually a woman' hill everyday. Even if the game ever gives us pronouns I will say "Wow! A he/him lesbian!" but thankfully they don't so I continue to be correct. The flowers are supposed to forget-me-nots.
