I’ve just begun the Heavensward goldsmith quests and its pretty funny to imagine doing them actually at the same time in the story. Running around Ul’dah to work on a commission while you are wanted for regicide. The WoL puts on a fake mustache “oh no you must be mistaken I am but a simple artisan the Larrior of Wight”

✨ for a random fact about aria? :3
..I mean, Aria is a self-insert rather than an OC, but- thank you anyway for this, friend!
(source: this post by dragonsmooch)
Send me ✨ for a random thing about one of my OCs! (Optional: You can specify one!) - I know I've mentioned this before, but I can never remember how widely it's known, so I'll say it again anyway. Aria is the self-insert I've had the longest as a proper "this is me, but with lore to fit the game world" self-insert, as well as being one of the self-inserts that's existed the longest overall (the few that may beat her would include Camille, Amber, and technically also Emily, but I don't tend to count her since she didn't have story until after I started selfshipping unlike the other two). She started out as my player character in KHUX, who I gave the lore of "uses darkness instead of light" right from the beginning of playing the game, but then the rest of her lore (such as her being a Heartless) came about from the start of 2018 onwards. Some of her story, like leaving her original party under bad circumstances, reflects how things actually went for me playing the game!
This means that Aria is who tends to be used as a placeholder for whenever I want to make a new self-insert for something, which is partially ironic considering that - by virtue of being from Kingdom Hearts - she could technically appear as herself in many other game worlds. Examples of self-inserts that started out as "Aria but in something else" that I can recall off the top of my head include Alectra (actually probably Lamia too - the two of them together kind of combine a lot of Aria's aspects, Alectra personality-wise and Lamia lore-wise), Telanthera, possibly Sapphire despite how different she now is?, I think Ardea, Catarina to some extent, maybe Echo, and most recently (and perhaps most obviously) Lorenza. By contrast, self-inserts that definitely didn't derive from Aria include Adriana, Calanthe, Citri (since she kind of derived from Calanthe), Emily, Seralune, Alise, and Amber.
Hopefully this worked as a fact! Thank you very much once again for sending this, friend!~

hi arii !! have u ever thought of xenoblade aus with ur other f/os? 🤔 i suddenly started imagining luna as a driver LOL but since uve been thinking abt xbc a bit more lately i wanted to ask since the concept is soo cool
Hello Clara!! Thank you so so much for sending this in, it really means a lot to me~
Ooh, I am not sure I have considered Driver Luna before, but I am now absolutely going to try to. Azami was my instant first thought for who she would resonate with, but that's more of an aesthetic thing. However, I also think Luna would work well with many healer Blades, though I can see her wielding Bitballs moreso than I can Knuckle Claws. (Which is perhaps ironic considering that there are no dark-element healer Rare Blades in XC2!) Did you have anyone else in mind from your sudden imagining (either in terms of who Luna would resonate with or perhaps how any other Reborn characters would be put in the game)?
Regarding Xenoblade Chronicles AUs with other F/Os, I have considered something like this in the past, but only for my selfship with Aqua, as far as I can remember. In that, the idea was less of an outright AU and more simply that Aqua and Aria had come to Alrest (hey, that's you) at some point after KH3, probably as part of their search for new potential Keyblade wielders in different worlds (partially because, while there's definitely scope for Heartless invasion, I'm struggling to think of how that would actually play out from like a game perspective). As part of their investigations, the two would pose as Blade and Driver, with Aqua pretending to be a Driver and Aria pretending to be her Blade, since - despite Gormotti being a thing here - Aria sort of has a few too many inhuman traits to properly pass as one, I think. Like the wings, and the seams, which may or may not be able to be mistaken for ether lines. She'd specifically be pretending to be a dark-element attacker Rare Blade of some kind, perhaps even being assumed to be Legendary considering the unique nature of her "Blade weapon" (which here would, I suppose, just be Aqua using whichever Keyblade she can summon that looks most like something Aria would have given her..?)
That is the only sort of AU-adjacent thing I can really think of having come up with beforehand, and even then it's more "XC in KH" than anything else. However, here are some other considerations, if you'd like them:
Calanthe and KOS-MOS getting thrown into XC1 instead of XC2 may not be overly feasible, but it's a concept and a half for a number of reasons. Like, imagine being Shulk and co. right after Citri and Fiora get captured at the start of the game - setting out to save them both and taking the fight to the Mechon, and then all of a sudden encountering someone who looks way too much like Citri and has a lot of her same interests (like tech!), alongside a potentially-mechanical? other woman who is incredibly powerful but whose abilities sometimes seem a bit too Mechon-like. Who are both apparently not from this world. And then starting to learn about Faced Mechon and their pilots. And then finding out that Citri and Fiora got turned into Face pilots. There's so much potential for an interesting up-and-down dynamic there, I feel!
My selfship with Zero feels like it could be pretty easily ported into XC2 with how Blades work there and how that can potentially be paralleled with voidsent pacts. You could either make Zero a Flesh Eater given her hybrid nature in FFXIV, or go down the route of her being a Blade that Zenos manages to steal and forcibly resonate with, then maybe Lorenza somehow restoring her memories to her after re-resonating with her? I feel like Lorenza could also fit well as a Blade, though, so hmm.. There are ideas there, but i'm not settled on either one yet.
I'm thinking about the recent Clio rambles.. I'm thinking about the whole "preserving her heart" aspect.. I'm thinking about how I literally described that as being able to take "the Sora route or the Jin route" (if you know then you know) and settled on something more like Sora's for KH.. I'm thinking about Aria taking the Jin route in XC2 and subsequently occupying a position like his in the story.. Yep, nope, that can fit, can't it
Both XC2 and DQIX have an Yggdrasil, and angel equivalents, and so on. I therefore really want to put Pavo and Ardea in here somehow. Maybe, Pavo and Aquila as the Aegis Blades (twin symbolism there would be fun), and then other Celestrians (so, including Ardea) as other Blades.. maybe Ardea becoming a Flesh Eater to represent her loss of wings and halo in DQIX? I feel like this could make Corvus Amalthus (he’s Aquila’s mentor, Amalthus is Malos’ Driver), but surely King Godwin would fit there better given how Indol is.. unless I say the Gittish Empire replace Torna..? Maybe Corvus would be better as the Malos equivalent (final boss and all), so maybe Pneuma could be Celestria - but then where do I put Pavo and Aquila, just ordinary other Blades like Ardea? Or would he be her Driver who then also pretends to be Ardea's despite her not needing one?? There is absolutely something here, I think, but I feel like I may be the only one with enough knowledge of both games to try and make it work. And I currently am not able to make it work, so.. take what you can make of my attempts, I suppose =P
It is now gone two o'clock in the morning and I have to be in the lab tomorrow (though thankfully not until the afternoon), so I should probably leave it there for now. Still, thank you very much for sending this in, friend, and I hope that these are alright as novel concepts ^-^

FFXIV Write Day #4 - Off the Hook
As a preface, this is a short drabble of what I imagine Aishi's parenting life to be like! Aymeric is the stay at home husband while Sileas goes out on trips fairly often! It features the twins (Lilia & Aria), a lot of their lore is not concrete but I wanted to try just writing my HCs of their future ;w;;
The smell of honey cakes filled the sitting room of the manor when Sileas opened the door, as she returned from a long trip away from home. A familiar scent of a local delicacy, in the city that she called home. Despite the warmth she felt from the scent, her eyes narrowed, deep in thought of how it came to be in the manor. She hadn’t prepared honey cakes for the family before she left for the Far East. And she specifically told a certain Lord Speaker that the girls were not to have too many desserts other than the carrot cakes she prepared for the week away.
Walking towards the kitchen, she found the Lord Speaker, her dearest husband, dressed in an apron, watching their daughters feasting on some honey cakes he had seemingly baked for them. He soon looked up, noticing her presence, his expression turning into one of guilt.
“W-welcome back, love!” “Mama!! You’re home!” the twins chimed, with Lyria speaking up after, “Papa made us honey cakes. Does Mama want one?”
Smiling at the twins, Sileas gently gave the two girls kisses on their foreheads, replying to Lilia tenderly.
“Absolutely, my dears. I’ve missed you two very much.” “Yay! I wanna have cake with Mama!” Aria exclaimed, pulling her sleeve to ask her to sit down.
She would gladly oblige her daughters, gently asking them about the week they had while she was away for work - some simple adventuring jobs that she wished to attend to. Giving birth to the girls had not stopped her from her life as an adventurer, and she was glad to see her darlings safe and healthy while Aymeric was left in charge of caring for them. Except for this one weakness he had for them. She had given him a stern glare as the Lord Speaker was scurrying away from her to clean up the utensils he had used for baking.
After making sure the girls would not eat more than one cake for the evening, she tucked them into bed, telling them simple details of the trip she had. Once they were asleep, she headed to her bedchambers to settle matters with her dear husband. Aymeric was relaxing on the bed, looking through his documents.
“I told you to make sure they only had the amount of sweets I prepared before I left, Aymeric. You’re pampering them too much.” “Well, I couldn’t help it when they pleaded with such adorable expressions…” “Yes, yes. You’re weak to their little smiles and their love of sweets, just like yourself. You need to be more strict with them. They could get cavities from the amount of sweets you’re feeding them!” “Look at their excited, happy faces, though. They wanted me to surprise you when you returned with their treats!”
Sileas sighed, climbing onto the bed beside him. Hugging him, she pouted at him as she spoke.
“They’re good girls, aren’t they?” “Only because they were raised well by an excellent mother.” “Flattery will not get the best of me, you dolt. You’ve known me long enough!” she chided, quickly pulling his cheeks in irritation. 
“You’ve barely changed since we’ve had the two of them. Still kind and gentle to our children, though you’re strict. And my part to play is of a kind father.” “I’m simply glad that they’re not frustrated at me with my strictness…” she trailed off, sinking into the pillows next to him. “They aren’t. That, I’m sure of. Lilia would keep asking me for the details of your trip, while Aria would demand that I ask you to return sooner. They indeed love you,” he said, taking her into his arms.
“I’m glad. As for your punishment for not listening to my instructions…” “Ah. But of course. A massage every week for a month?” “That, and…you can pick up the girls from their school for this week. I’m exhausted from this trip.” “As my lady wishes.” His voice was gentle, giving her relief as they kissed.

So I've now got what I consider to be my four main OCs.
Three of whom are basically self inserts
Tumblr media
Quinn
Self-insert based OC
She/They
Lalafell Bard in FFXIV
Blue Lion
Plays a Bard but is a terrible singer irl. Still loves theatre.
Single, doesn't know how to flirt
Loves Lolita styles
Tumblr media
Carter
Self Insert based OC
He/him
Hrothgar Black Mage in FFXIV
Theatre kid growing up. Still a theatre adult but now prefers to work behind the scenes
Single, not really interested but if he meets someone special then that's great
Tumblr media
Ellianna (human version)
Self insert based OC
She/her
Au Ra Dragoon in FFXIV (this is also the default Ellianna)
Single but flirty
Likes games with crafting. Fan of Atelier series. Picked up all of the Disciples of the Land/Hand jobs in ffxiv
Soft spot for cute things. Has trouble deciding which minion to use. Sticks with nanamo minion cause it rides on her shoulder and that's adorable
Tumblr media
Aria (BeorcHuman version)
Actual OC
She/her
Miqo'te Dancer in FFXIV (originally White Mage)
Golden Deer
Insists her preferred style is elegant. It actually leans more toward cute
Insists her favorite color is white cause it's more elegant and grown up. It's actually green
Youngest of 3 children. Older sister and brother. Had a big fight with brother and has gone low contact.
Has a girlfriend. Been dating for a couple of years now
-----
Ages fluctuate depending on the situation. Carter is the always the oldest and Aria is always the youngest
Quinn, Carter and Aria don't actually have ffxiv characters. I'm only a casual ffxiv player and am only level 50 something with my main. You really think I have time for 3 alts?
3 of them have been submitted as ocs to sonocomics. I'll send Aria next month. Might give her some more color.
A lot of Quinn Carter and Ellianna is based on some of my own traits and thoughts cause they're originally self-inserts I needed for different situations.
Quinn and Ellianna both got my taste in older men

Aria Batih {Shepard To The Stars} ﹌﹌﹌﹌﹌﹌﹌﹌﹌﹌﹌﹌﹌﹌﹌﹌﹌﹌﹌﹌﹌﹌﹌﹌﹌﹌﹌﹌﹌﹌﹌﹌﹌﹌﹌ Race: Miqo’te Clan: Seeker of the Sun Alignment: Chaotic Good Age: 22 Birthday: 16th Sun of the Umbral Moon (I think that’s like April 16th I can’t remember lol) Height/build: ~ 5′2, I imagine she’s quite toned compared to her in-game model Pronouns: She/her primarily, but she’s cool with any Sexuality: Aro/ace Main: Red Mage Personality: She’s basically a himbo lmao. She acts pretty stupid most of the time, but always has a smile on her face. She likes to sow mildly inconveniencing chaos around the Scions, just to stir the pot (They act all pissed but they all know without her shenanigans, the Rising Stones would be way too quiet.) She’s really not as dense as she seems, though; she mostly acts that way for comedy’s sake (class clown energy) and to somewhat mask her stress and insecurities. She tends to just repress her emotions rather than deal with them in a healthy way. Once in a while, her friends try to get her to open up, but she just waves them off with her usual smile, stubbornly enough that they eventually resign themselves to trusting that she’ll open up when she’s ready. I also think she somehow has access to the internet and purposefully confuses everyone by quoting vines and memes whenever the opportunity arises. She does finger guns.  Notable relations: She trusts the Scions with her life and sees them as close companions both on the battlefield and off. The Leveilleur twins specifically are basically younger siblings to her, and she would 100% let her carefree mask slip and go apeshit if something happened to them (despite her small stature, genuinely angry Aria is more terrifying than you might think, considering she very VERY rarely is filled with that much rage.)  please feel free ask questions about her it makes me very happy to talk about this gremlin! *credit goes to Square Enix/Final Fantasy 14 for the screenshots*

OC Name Meaning
Tagged by: @adelaidedrubman to give the meanings of the names of my ocs! Thank you for the tag! Tagging: @belorage​ @florbelles @honeysides @heroofpenamstan @jamesbvchanans @strafethesesinners @agentnatesewell @themysteriouslou @lilwritingraven @johnnycranes @chyrstis @writerofblocks @vasiktomis @i-am-the-balancing-point​ @shallow-gravy @shellibisshe @fadedjacket @lee-by-thy-side and anyone else that wants to! Let me be your excuse!
Tumblr media
Catlina: My own creation but a play one the name Catalina meaning “Pure”. Her name was meant to be Catalina but it got misspelled on the birth certificate and she insisted on it being pronounced as it was written. Rojas: Derived from the spanish word for red
Tumblr media
Chance: Meaning “good fortune”. Picked by his mother as he was to be her turning point for making a better life. Ruicknar: from my own creation so it didn’t have to simply be Rook. The odd spelling coming from my own last name in having a double O sound.
Tumblr media
Lancelot: While in French it means “land” or “servent”, it was picked for the Knight in Arthurian legends. Powell: Derived from Welsh meaning “Son of Hywel” which itself means “Eminent”.
Tumblr media
Lizette: From Hebrew origin meaning “God is my oath” or “God’s promise”.  Rojas-Seed: meaning her life has been hell from the get go.
Tumblr media
Hypatia: Greek meaning “Highest”, was named after the philospher/mathematician/astronomer Hypatia of Alexandria Caro: Spanish, Portuguese, Italian, and Jewish (Sephardic and Ashkenazic) meaning “Dear” or “Beloved” Tia: Meaning “Joy”
Tumblr media
Constantin: Romanian version of Constantine that derives from the name Constans which means “Constant” or “Steadfast”. Was also named after his father John Constantine, whom his mom slept with because she has a thing for Sting. Enache: Hebrew origin meaning “Comforter” or “Healer”. His family in ages past were the healers of their villages and the name stuck with them.  Conner: Irish origin meaning “Hound Lover”. The irony of his future in ffxiv being Emet-Selch aka Hades’ assistant is not lost on me as many have to go through Conner before being able to talk to the man.
Tumblr media
Stasia: Origin Greek meaning “Ressurection”. Stasia has been born again and again in terms of identity and yet it has the sound of stasis which means never changing which is a nice juxtaposition as her downfall is due to her lack of wanting to adapt to a new world in terms of magic. Liana: Hebrew in origin meaning “My God has answered”. Her birth name that she has little ties to now a days. There was no rhyme or reason to the name just needed something a little filler and it ended up working out!
Tumblr media
Carly: Meaning “free woman” (from Middle Low German “kerle”) and “warrior”, “army” (from Old High German “heri”). This was so much of a happy accident as at the time that I picked her name she was just a character that was just there and so it was a filler name. But in many ways this fits her from her escaping the abuse of her mother, to being a loyal follower and soldier in Stasia’s army.
Tumblr media
Hayat: Arabic meaning “Life”. His father picked the name because when he first laid eyes on Hayat you could just feel the life in him and swore you could see him smile and look around with such wonder. Khademi: Arabic meaning “He who serves and cares”
Tumblr media
Clio: Greek meaning “Glory”. In Greek mythology she was one if the nine muses, the goddess of history and heroic poetry. The woman that raised Clio and served as a mother figure gave her her name and followed in the Greek tradition of naming a child after traits one wants to see in their child’s life as the woman had already named her own children after grandparents. The same applies to Clio’s last name and while Clio knows her true last name she keeps the one given to her by her mother figure. Zandra: Greek meaning “Defender of mankind”
Tumblr media
Aria: Derived from Italian meaning “Song or Melody”. Was picked by her grandfather in a moment of clarity from his dementia in the days of his wife passing since he couldn’t remember what she picked. She loved listening to the arias in operas, they were her favorite thing like her granddaughter would have been. Dawson: English origin meaning “Son of David”
Tumblr media
Sahar: Arabic meaning “Dawn”. She’s the dawn of a new age for Marc from a meta perspective and is the opposite given its association with the sun and Marc being of the moon. In universe though her mother saw her as what could have been a new beginning for her, but would eventually shine her light on the world that her mother at the time couldn’t find. Mahin: Persian meaning “Related to the Moon”. Sahar’s family way way way back were devout followers of Khonshu (one family member even becoming his fist) and kept their name even after the age of that god passed.

First and Last Pictures of the Year
This was pretty easy for me, as I started playing the game this year. It's a mild nostalgia trip going all the way back to March (maybe?) to get this first picture, as a great many things have happened since then:
Tumblr media
This was the picture I used for my first LFRP post. I chose Arcanist because I love characters that use books/knowledge as their weapons, and also because my friend Jordan wanted to start as a Marauder and Arcanist was the Limsa caster.
I actually got into FFXIV because of LFRP posts; I regularly coast over, around, and through fandoms as I used tumblr casually, and while looking up the game's awesome art I found the FFXIV RP community. The first LFRP post I saw was @mai-takeda 's actually, which I went on to use as a model for my own. So if Mai ever notices that I notice her posts pretty frequently, it's cuz I owe a little bit of my FFXIV experience to her :P
My last picture of the year is this:
Tumblr media
This features me in level 60ish Black Mage gear, as I found something satisfying about the rhythm of managing Astral Fire and Umbral Ice and decided to pursue that further. I still play Scholar when I want instant queues, but Summoner doesn't quite click with me. Bummer too, as I prefer to be a damage dealer over a healer.
In this picture I believe I have Robyn positioned as to imply he either killed this boar or just came across its body. This was part of a series of "journals" I did with Robyn. My friend Jordan lost interest in the game so I didn't really have anyone to play with, so I decided to chronicle Robyn's journey through a series of introspective memoirs written in extremely flowery language. I even ended up liking some of what I wrote.
Thank you @yuki-yukichan for tagging me. Your repeated inclusion of my name in the many you tag has been as important as Mai's LFRP post in keeping me invested in the community.

– nine  /  Last Film Watched: We watched the Fellowship of the Rings the other day. Makes me miss New Zealand so much! 
– ten  /  Inspiration for Muse: Alysia actually was kind of a blank slate character when I came over to FFXIV. I wanted someone who was a bit naive and wide eyed innocent so that if I mucked up the lore, I could easily have her be like “OOOOH I’m sorry. I’m just a rural fisherman’s daughter!” But then as I settled into the game, I developed her more. I wanted to have a polite, kind character who felt authentic and genuine. I’d seen plenty of “nice girl” types while playing WoW but they really were just THOTS in disguise or were played more ditzy airhead. I wanted her to be witty and gentle, with a heart of gold. That way I could see how she’d develop in the rather shitty wide world and how her morals and principles would be pushed and stretched.
– eleven  /  Dream Job: Ok, so I’ve long given up that there is a “dream job”. When you do something you “love”, it quickly becomes something you don’t love. You start doing it for the money and not for you or for any gratification. You start to resent it and it’s not really that thing you do that makes you happy anymore. 
There are different aspects that I look for in a job though. I like clinic work. I like working in a hospital setting and dealing with patients. I worked in Veterinary for 10 years and got to do some amazingly fun stuff. I even ran my own veterinary clinic for 3 of those years. However, it’s not really condusive now that I’m getting old. Veterinary work is stressful and emotionally draining. 
So instead, I’m now going back to school to become a Radiological Technician.  The hours tend to be better than nursing because it’s a diagnosis, I get to work with people but at the same tie, I don’t have to be responsible for them. No medication, no treatment plans. I just get to take the pictures and send them on their way while being like “DAMN! How’d they manage to swallow that~!~”
– twelve  / Meaning behind your URL: I doubt it surprises anyone that I’m not particularly the most reserved person. I tend to be crass and vocal but kind and generous. I’m also not particularly graceful physically or socially. And that’s not necessarily a bad thing to push through the boundaries of what earlier generations expected of women. So Breaking-from-grace was just like a statement of “This is who I am and I really don’t care if I’m not your perfect barbie girl!”
