I do like that the Ascians basically taught Ysayle how to transform again technically, and made a Primal kinda like Zodiark and Hydaelyn but on a much tinier scale. She was a Warrior of Light, she was awakened to Hydaelyn's call, she used the Echo, and the Ascians were like you know what.

This girl, we can use her, nothing will go wrong ever.

(stay away Azem signs all over the place)

And she does, summoning Shiva and imbuing her own self into it and could go in and out of it so long as she had the aether to spare.

HQ guys, that didn't backfire at all.

(I use this little HC to have Ysayle teach my WoL how to do it and by Stormblood she can do it if the need is there, such as fighting a very angry Zenos filled dragon primal as Phoenix)

Me when I have the opportunity to make a character gijinka a poc: 👀

[lcstkey]

Squackers the griffin sort of knows how to talk but can really only say the two words, "big wings". It's absolutely Selena's fault. She was trying to teach him how to fly when he was a cub in the Bramble Patch and it turned into this little game of theirs. He eventually does learn how to fly but not without consequence.

He'll sometimes scare a passerby or even Selena herself by spontaneously screaming "BIG WINGS".

Hi I'm big into ffxiv and these are my blorbos.

Syl'tal, the Elezen, is my WoL (he doesn't get to catch a break even in a different game). He's a Thancred smoocher and before DT happens, they adopt a little girl (Da'mi). He lost his arm in the fight with Zenos in EW and hid from the Scions (Thancred excluded) after everything that happens in EW.

The Viera is Nuvenin and he's a Bad Guy that works for the ascians and is an ancient. There's a lot more to it than that but it'll turn into a book. He used to smooch Themis but you know....things happened lol. By the time DT rolls around he's having a MASSIVE internal battle with himself stemming from developing feelings for G'raha (I see G'raha and Themis being very similar and this is the reason why he's developing feelings for G'raha but this is another book)

The femra is Mouse and she is Syl's best friend. She has selective mutism and knows an Eorzean version of sign but she also tailored it to suit her. She taught Syl sign, but she also feels comfortable speaking to him for the most part. There are definitely times where it doesn't happen though. She ran away from home at a young age when her family attempted to marry her off to pay off debts. I recreated her and she has big inspo from pink godzilla! She's also an Erenville smoocher!

Last is Din'an, the manra! He is Mouse's body guard and ultimately let her escape when he found out what was happening. Din'an used to be loyal to Mouse's family, but he is the most loyal to Mouse. He sees her as a younger sister and cares for her very much. He followed her around before she caught on and joined the team to save the world.

{I'm really starting to lean away from the idea that FFXIV Verse Hanekoma is a WoL, but at the same time it's really hard not to incorporate this running thing I had going where uh}

{ARR spoilers ahead, ya know?}

{Where Hanekoma develops this crush sort of thing on A'aba Tia of the Scions in tandem with the idea of Hanekoma becoming deeply infatuated with goobbue after seeing the goobbue oasis in the desert and then the goobbue carrying the Bacchus vine in the jungle. And how he gets his little baby goobbue sproutling and goes back to Vesper with his new baby goobbue that he's so excited about to show A'aba and see if he and Aulie got that armor for Arenvauld. And how he gets there and comes up on the massacre and finds A'aba's body inside and just loses it. And how he'll sit with his baby goobbue and hold it and cry over A'aba and water the goobbue with his tears.}

{Like how do I not incorporate these things together? Can you imagine that? Are you picturing it?}

{I don't know if I really want Hanekoma to be a big WoL, but this story thread is so very tempting.}

They got into a fight right after

FFXIV Write 2023 || FFXIV Write info\\Prompt list\\Character info \\Master post ||

Prompt 25: Call it a day

end a period of activity, especially resting content that enough has been done

Character(s): Atticus Wolfram (aged 10)  Cw: none Word count: 613 Notes: Just a little intro to who Atticus’s first love was (the childhood friend referenced on day 11) Just a note that Atticus’s last name used to be Vendelin (hence the reference to 'Ven' on day 2) before he fled Garlemald. Figured I’d get that out of the way now so as to not cause any confusion! I am taking some liberties here with some stuff--personal hc on how I figured training worked before someone joined the Legion. First draft for now to get my thoughts out but I’ll clean it up after work! Readmore in place of a banner!

“Again,”

A swing of his blade in timed rhythm with the other blades around him cut through the air.

“Not fast enough, again!”

The blade swung to the left, just barely missing the boy’s hand next to him as he turned to swing his blade to the left a tick late.

“Norbanus! That delay could’ve cost you a hand!”

The boy next to Atticus—Norbanus, faltered a little, the exhaustion clearly beginning to set in. “Sorry sir, I just need a moment.”

“If you want to join any of the Legion’s boy, you won’t have many moments to rest. Again!”

And again, the boy–Norbanus faltered, this time stumbling forward, his blade sliding across the ground causing everyone else nearby to stop and stare.

The man heaved a sigh, placing his hands on his hips. “Alright, let’s call it a day. Get some rest recruits–I want you all in tip top shape before sunrise tomorrow. We’ll be running extra drills no thanks to your friend Norbanus over here.” A collective groan but one sharp look from their trainer and they all quieted down. “Good. Dismissed!”

A collective “Sir!” was chorused throughout the small group as they all saluted and disbanded the moment their trainer left the room. Most of the others whispered and snickered at Norbanus as they passed but Atticus stayed behind to help retrieve his practice sword and offer a hand up. Norbanus looked embarrassed at the thought of being helped up and stubbornly decided to heave himself up on his own to save himself from even further remarks from any lingering people.

“It was bound to happen to one of us,” Atticus muttered nonchalantly. He was glad it wasn’t him as he got enough stares and push back from the others for being half-Garlean but he’d never admit that outloud to the other. “The guy’s got a stick up his arse. We’re not even part of the military yet, it’s just pre-training for Legionaries, what’s his deal anyways?”

“My dad said he used to be a Legionary for the first Legion before he was formally dismissed for one reason or another but then the brute came back on his own…I think that makes him an Evocatus or something…”

Atticus scoffed lightly. “Well that makes sense why he’s been so hard on us when it’s only been a week…I wonder why he rather deal with amateurs like us instead of going back to his Legion.”

“Who knows? But I guess he’s just better preparing us for the real thing.” Norbanus paused, scuffling his feet. “I’ve got to get better too. I want to prove to my family my worth for the Empire.”

“You have time,” Atticus hummed as he tossed water to the other who easily caught it. “We can train together if you’d like, take it at your own pace.”

The other cracked a small smile, holding his hand out. “We’ve not formally met. Norbanus. Jullus Norbanus. Thanks for sticking around.” He added shyly.

“I know what it’s like to be the odd one out, figured it would be easier if you weren’t alone.” Atticus accepted his hand and shook it, mirroring his smile. “Vendelin. Atticus Vendelin.”

“Has anyone just called you Ven?”

“You’d be the first.”

“Well then that’s what I’ll call you from now on!” Jullus pulled out his sword and gestured to the practice dummy in the corner of the room. “Come on, let’s get to work! He may have told us to call it for today but I don’t think I’m quite ready to go home yet, you?”

“Not one bit!” Atticus laughed, pulling out his own sword, giving it a few good swings. “Let’s get started!”

[eemamminy-art]

I like to hc that Fourchenault is Like That™ because Louisoix was not really present in his life. We hear about all the good Louisoix did for Eorzea and how he shook things up in Sharlayan, and how he was a wonderful grandfather, but all we know about his relationship with his son is that they argued before Louisoix left and ultimately died. We don't have anything else between them, but then we have this man who is so devoted to his job (a behavior he might've modeled after his father) who cares deeply for his family but has no idea how to actually express that. You'll see it so often in real life how someone will be cold or even cruel to their children but will be very loving and supportive of their grandchildren, so it's not a stretch to imagine Louisoix this way

Besides, all of ARR goes hard trying to show what a great man he was but I watched those 1.0 msq cutscenes and it was 99% Minfilia's hard work and then Louisoix comes in at the very last minute but gets all the credit and I still haven't forgiven him for it 😂

hello graha artists and scholars: graha's hair discussion! (lots of HC) (xivrefsheets for the pics <3)

i simply noticed his braid was thicker and longer in enw than the character creator hair he had in arr so i needed to discuss why in my brainscape.

the arr hair and the exarch hair are the same hair, but for whatever reason the exarch was given a different highlighting pattern than the CC hair, which would make you think the hair model itself would be different but it is not!

arr graha:

a note i didn't make on the image was the fact that because the arr braid is more one whole polygon, i'd say it is more akin to a fishtail braid. how he did a tight fishtail himself, good question, man's dedicated to making his hair much more complicated than it needs to be if his oh-so-cool warrior of light will see it. he makes it tight for bow/arrow retrieving practicality.

(and a personal hc is that he also goes for a braid instead of a ponytail because a braid can be a lot less tension on the scalp/ more evenly distributed tension, being a reliever for his chronic migraines) -- ((im sure i will eventually make a text post just going in depth about all three grahas' disabilities because i feel people see it obviously in the exarch but forget the invisible disabilities enw and arr graha have as well)

moving onto his bangs though, why keep them long if he's a bowman? he says he was bullied for his odd colored eyes, hence he covers the more jarring color with his bangs.

enw graha:

looking at the way his enw braid is sectioned off more and looser makes me think it's a standard three strand braid. it makes sense he's being a bit more practical, he doesn't have time to do a fancy braid but still wants to look nice. he doesn't need to worry about a bow and arrow anymore so he grows his hair out a bit more, likely puts it in a ponytail on lazier days.

he puts his hair into fancy little pins and pushes it from his eyes: this is more a character design choice to show he's opened up more since being a cloistered scholar. he looks wide awake! in universe though (hc) it was absolutely a tataru fashion choice that he adopted.

exarch graha:

now do i think the exarch is doing a fishtail braid in the morning? no not really. i don't think he honestly has the finger dexterity for it in his crystal hand. it's visually the same as the arr braid though, so what? fishtail on days lyna helps him cause he needs to look cute for his warrior -- twist or ponytail any other day. he doesn't need to worry about it being tight or short, i think he just leaves it short because it's easier to manage and stay under a hood.

why keep the bangs long if he's trying to keep his hair from coming out under the hood? that's a good ass hood tbh he's good at keeping it from peeking. but beyond that, i believe it's still his attempt to hide. he covers his eyes so if anyone peeks under the hood they see white hair first, not the blaring red eyes. he's supposed to be a warm and inviting (if not mysterious) figure to his people and to the scions. looking back at arr graha, he covers his red eye because it's jarring, so he continues to cover his eye even after losing the hood to maintain some of that warmness.

ok thanks that's all - add your own HCs i would love to hear them <33333

Alphinaud's disguise after his no-good, very bad, encounter with Zoraal Ja, and before he assumed Kyanite's identity.

Had to use midlady body for this version cuz that helm clipped hilariously on Alphi's head, but a mask-less comparison of heights.

From left -> right, ARR era/Canonical Alphi height -> Max slider HC for EW height [such progress I know lol] -> Few years in hiding in the Dome, starts hitting that growth spurt.

OMG! For the event, how about some hcs from when Valeria was in jail? And reader is her cellmate, and just get on her nerves. I go crazy thinking about this. And when Valeria broke out of jail, she take the reader with her aaaaaa.

Pairing: Valeria Garza x fem! Reader

Warnings: jail?, criminal stuff I dunno, lesbians in love and escaping from jail, prison riot but not too intense

A/n: omg YES! Why does this gives off Jojolion vibes?😆

Valeria knows all too well how to behave in a jail. How to handle herself in certain provocative situations, how to gain status around these places. It’s not like she intended to stay in prison for long, but it’s better to be respected among bastards than to be their bottom.

And here were you, her cellmate - a pretty little thing with a personality of a devil, who got in jail for hitting your cheating ex with his car. You weren’t exactly popular or on top of prison’s hierarchy, but you weren’t one of the slaves either.

First week Valeria had to quite literally fight back her urges to strangle you - this is how much you tried to get under her skin. She just clenched her jaw, inhaled deeply and closed her eyes in attempt to calm herself down as you kept on taunting her, with or without any reason.

But at the same time you were never aggressive, indicating that all of your relentless teasing was just your own way of trying to get along with your cellmate. God knows how long you were gonna spend together - it’s better be friends anyways. And without noticing, Valeria made a crucial mistake - started liking you.

You spent numerous nights muddled up in your bunk bed, talking about all the things in the world. You started developing a very intimate connection - not exactly friendship, but something way deeper then that.

At the same time Valeria wasn’t wasting her time, pulling all the right strings inside and outside the prison, getting everything prepared and ready for her escape.

A huge riot was about to happen among prisoners, Valeria’s own people were ready to break into the prison, helping her to get out. Tension was almost palpable in the air, and a dam finally broke as one day a fight occurred between a guard and one of the prisoners - chaos went loose.

Valeria didn’t lose a perfect opportunity, her military skills coming in handy while tackling a few guards to the floor, pocketing their guns and patrons while making her way out of the jail, her cartel soldiers flooding in the building gradually.

You were unlucky to end up in a middle of a huge carnage - people were fighting everywhere, prisoners pubbeling guards and other prisoners, place smelt strongly of sweat and blood, noise so hard, it made your insides shake. You were of a smaller complexion, standing no chance to other, way bigger and stronger women; you were practically dumbstruck, too terrified to move an inch.

Suddenly, someone grabbed you by the shoulder, tugging you forcefully towards them. You squeaked, trying to fight back until two strong hands grabbed both of your wrists, enabling all of your movements. You squeezed your eyes shut, too scared to face the attacker.

“Y/n, for fucks sake!” You heard an angry shout, eyes snapping open to look at the person who grabbed you. It was your cellmate - Valeria, covered in blood and thin sheen of sweat, panting heavily, a few guns attached to her waist.

“We’re leaving, now!” She shouted, letting go of one of your hands, tugging you in direction of the washhouse. Once there, you saw numerous heavily armed people in balaclavas waiting for you two, all windows blown out. Valeria pushed you towards the window, you made quick job of getting out, Garza and her men following closely behind.

About a half a kilometer far in the woods surrounding the prison, a few cars were waiting for you. You didn’t remember much, just how you got shoved into a backseat and Valeria’s shouting as she said something angrily in Spanish, soldiers nodding to her words, replying sometimes as well.

Soon you arrived at the makeshift base, not able to go any further since all police were out in the streets, searching for escaped prisoners. Situation was slightly easier since you were not the only ones who escaped - about half of prisoners used blown out windows of the washhouse to get out, distracting policemen as well.

Once settled in a temporary base, Valeria approached you. “We’re going to Mexico” she informed plainly, plopping down on a couch with a heavy sigh. You nodded your head, at her words; both of you were silent for nearly ten minutes before you decided to break the silence “Why me?” You asked, making Valeria perk up at the sound of your voice.

“Why did you decide to take me with you?” You said, looking at Valeria expectedly. Her expression didn’t change even a littlest bit, as she said plainly - “I like you”. You raised an eyebrow at her reply, obviously not satisfied with her answer. “You seem like one of my people, you know? Don’t give a shit about what others think, do whatever you want but still loyal to your friends. I like these qualities. And I want you close to me. So, what do you say?” She explained, dark eyes looking over to you expectedly.

You stayed silent for a few minutes, trying to take in all the events of this eventful day, before sighing heavily. “Do I have a choice? Your men will come after me if I say no” you joked, slumping against the backrest of an old shabby armchair. Valeria grinned, gazing at your relaxed form with great interest.

She nodded towards the door in the corner. “Shower is over there. Let me know if you suddenly feel lonely” she winked, sly smirk curling her full lips. You got up, heeding towards the bathroom “Oh, I will, don’t worry” you shot back, winking at Valeria as well, making sure to sway your hips seductively on your way there. Hell yes, did Valeria like you.

Is it still a headcanon if it's a guy you made up? Anyway mitr'a happy, angry/violent, and RANDOM HCs

☆ - happy headcanon

i imagined there's this miqo'te gesture of softly running the back of your fingers over your loved ones' ears, which mitr'a does to the side of the twin's heads at around the same height. they don't know what it means exactly but around shb/ew they start unconsciously leaning into it. the first time they did it mitr'a went like this internally:

☠ - angry/violent headcanon

have been considering the canon deviation of mitr'a also drinking a bit of nanamo's poisoned wine as part of teledji's plan, but due to his unexpected poison resistances just being really fucked up for a bit instead of permanently down

arr mitr'a's reaction to being half incapacitated would be Outstanding Violence, so the throne room accusation scene occurs without him there (maybe with a bloodied guard that managed to get teledji out of there to sell the idea that he went rogue?), and the scions later find him stumbling around with pieces of crystal brave in his teeth

the fact he's still half out of it is why y'shtola and thancred send them ahead on the tunnels instead of leaving the wol behind first to deal with the guards while they escape, which i think would have made more sense, realistically. even in arr the wol IS their best fighter

by this latest patch the twins are finally becoming visibly taller than him which is very offensive of them >:(

Crystal Tower Thoughts

G'raha is a very important friend to Nemi... he is like a brother to her in all realsies. But how come that is the case?

I have too many G'raha standing iddle screenshots so I'll just shuffle them among written thoughts

When the disembodied voice took the aethersand away, Nemi was very confused... and when she saw it was some guy catboy who ALSO named the expedition without asking, she punched his elbow and demanded gil for the "Free labour." Later she'd find out she got assigned a cramped tent with him and take tail to the nose from him; he was looking for a tome in the empty space. This made her swat the tail and get into a pillow fight of exhaustion. They arranged the space better next morning and gruffly went to get breakfast.

Rocky start.

When the expedition into the Labyrinth of the Ancients takes place, Nemi is puzzled by his insistence. G'raha was surprised but reticent to Nemi's curiosity, expressing his growth in Sharlayan and his inspiration from Heroic Stories. Nemi inquired which in particular, and from this talk they bonded and made up over fictional tales of their youth.

As the Expedition shifted its attention to the Syrcus Tower, constant presencemade other allied adventurers curious of the Warrior of Light. One intrusive one snatched her journal at the Diner Campfire, mock reading a leaflet with notes on vulnerable points of the Baelsar Wall. They mock asked why Nemi had this, and G'raha claimed he'd placed that as a prank to Nemi. He got defensive and boisterous so Nemi wouldn't give herself away by demanding her things back, managing to make the other asshole back off.

Nemi later asked why he lied, and he said wanting to weaken the Empire further was a noble deed regardless of her blood. He wished he could even know what would help liberate Corvos. The next day, Nemi dragged him to the supplies to show him how she cures ham with dried tomato and sage, winking it was the closest to the Ala Mhigan style. They held each other in deep trust ever since

Befriending Nemi is accepting to witness tomfoolery though

One such occasion was, G'raha finding out Nemi has never dated anyone before, and cackling as someone who's had many tumbles with many genders in final fantasy college. They went to a bar in Mor Dhona, where G'raha encouraged her to just go and talk with any woman. She fussed she couldn't do it, and G'raha inquired what gave her confidence then.

Then Nemi gulped down a whole beer bottle. Maybe more.

Moments later, G'raha swims out of a lake. "What was that for?!" Nemi crosses her arms and sticks her tongue out."You d-didn't back me up at the bar! That girl was totally into me." G'raha squinted. "You said her boyfriend looked like he had poor sloppy toppy, then caused a fist fight!" Nemi's breath caught, eyes widening. She shook her head and smiled a little. "He made her hold all his shit and cut his food! It was making me mad!" She yelled, almost falling forward but staggering backwards to balance. Her shoulder swayed while G'raha climbed out of the lake, shaking and puffing his tail out. He wrapped an arm around Nemi as she mumbled about women and being forever alone. "You're just drunk. Let's get you something to eat in the tent." G'raha said, leading her back while she whined

Pics unrelated. She's embarrassed but grateful to him the next day

To compensate for last night, Nemi votes for G'raha to get his turn at being the Bard of the talk round at the Expedition. One of the songs he picks catches her recognition, and she inquires later if it pertains to the tale of two siblings separated by warring kingdoms. G'raha confirms this, going deeper into conversation about the tale and wishing Nemi good luck as she leaves to raid Syrcus Tower

From here to the Expedition to the World of Darkness, Nemi would grow concerned with G'raha's headaches and make little finger waves in his eyesight to ground him back to reality. She tried to find remedies for voice mind afflictions, but nothing seemed to work. She asked the healers to specially watch him when they raided the World Of Darkness.

She hugged him with joy when he said he felt better and more sure of himself, not seeing coming his decision to close the gate. She asked if he vied to be a King for another age. He buffed at that, saying he'd support any Lionhearts that followed her determination and bravery in the future.

Later, Nemi realizes he left her unexpectedly like she did her friend in search for her own purpose and. So this is what it feels to be left behind? But... she gets it. To be trusted with something terrible, and making the best you can with it despite the sacrifices needed. It's like her deeds leading her to face an Ascian at the Praetorium and countless other primals. The suddeness hurts but, unlike her friend, she doesn't hate G'raha.

She hopes he does awake in a brighter future indeed.

May I request some silly Ayakoi HCs? I read my very first fic after so long, and it makes me crave more silliness.

And silly headcanons you shall have. They be here.

Silly ARR Headcanons

(spoilers ahead watch out 🤫)

- Aoi occasionally puts in coloured contact lenses of the opposite colour in his eyes (yellow in the green eye and green in the yellow eye) to mess with Oji

- Shizuki took Toichiro's shed fur (also hc that he sheds) and stuffed it in a pillow. He gifted it to Kuya when he wore a hole in his, and he's never found out... 🤫

- Koga was a bit reckless using his powers once and a little girl saw him in his ayakashi form, and the only way to get her to keep quiet about it was letting her decorate his horns. So he went home with some bows on his horns that day.

- SPEAKING OF DECORATING AYAKASHI FEATURES, headcanoning (wtf) that Oji has a form with all 100 eyes, and he's 100% tried putting makeup on all of them don't fight me on this

- I know Shizuki's broken some invaluable ornament Toichiro bought, but he just... hid it... and threw it away... silently... "Toichiro-Sama, you owned no such item. Your frivolous spending has gotten to your head. Perhaps it would be in your favour to spend wisely next month."

- Koga invited the twins to go for hotpot once, but Yura started mixing his with sweet bean paste so he never invited them again.

- I KNOW Yura got his flute stolen by a critter before, but his slow ass couldn't catch it, so he had to beg Gaku to go find it for him 👉👈

- Oh and Aki's egret has definitely poked him in the ass before.

- Headcanon that Kuro's snakes on his beast form are separate living entities. When Ginnojo finds mice in his plumbing or something (don't ask me why he has mice in his home), he just hands them over to Kuro to feed to his snakes.

- And Yura (without the curse) can definitely charm the snakes.

- Just remembering that Oboro is a mouse so it probably won't go well for him if he meets Kuro in his beast form.

- What sort of headcanons list would this be if I didn't include my BOYFRIEND?? Kagemaru doesn't only like summer because he hates Shizuki and because he can wear loose kimono and look sexy in them. It's mosquito season, so he just plucks them from the air and eats them. Spider stuff, I guess...

- Kage's used his spiderwebs? Spider threads? in place of yarn before to play with Nachi in his cat form. Or just cats in general.

- And now that we've mentioned animal behaviours, Yakumo's bat ass sleeps upside down. He can recreate the Spiderman scene with his doll if he wants to.

- I ALMOST FORGOT KYONOSUKE. He canonically takes care of the flowers in Mrs Oyama's garden, and I imagine that he did when he was younger too, maybe as his way of expressing gratitude or compensating her for adopting him? ANYWAYS when he was younger, he definitely got stung by ivy and pricked by thorns because he didn't know what the hell he was doing, and he got his ass handed to him by Taketora.

- BONUS BECAUSE I ALREADY MENTIONED HIM AND I CAN'T JUST NOT TALK ABOUT HIM NOW: yes he was a strict father with high expectations for his sons, but his boys knew that they could go to him if they needed anything ❤️

- this is supposed to be silly not sweet

- MRS OYAMA IS NOT AFRAID TO SMACK TAKETORA WHEN HE PUTS CASUAL CLOTHING ON (it's canon he also has an atrocious fashion sense)

- that's all for now gng 🤞
