doing ffxiv quests always enlightens me
#🌙.rambles#doing some blue quests rn to unlock matanga#i'm gna stop procrastinating rn >.>#endwalker is so inspiring. ffxiv in general#'move forward with courage' & 'sometimes standing still offers a new perspective'#that second line literally made me stop and think for a while#i often find myself empathizing and admiring all these characters. even npcs of side quests#i'm proud of her!!! apologizing 'even if she may refuse it' / 'no more distractions'#'that being said if you were by my side it may be all the easier for me to find the right words'#yh i especially admire the wol. she's a 'hero'#'we've all lost something during this tragedy—through no one's fault but fate.'#'these are difficult days and we shouldn't blame ourselves for their cruelty.'#those last two lines also remind me of what another chara said in shb... 'fate can be cruel but a smile better suits a hero.'#that first line tho is kinda sad to me. one meaning cld be that losing you was fated. (we were a tragedy. we were fated to fall apart)#it obviously doesn't mean that tho in this context but that's a nice writing idea#sigh thinking abt the wol as a hero always makes me think of drk. i'm still really in love with how they approach those kinda stuff#drk/shb n the contrast of light and dark on a morally gray scale (?) idk how to explain aaaa#wait i'm gna stop rambling n continue playing ><#wah. these stories tho w forgiveness and hope and paths and regrets and answers#how we can forgive ourselves & help/comfort others in times of struggle and despair...#'all it takes is a single step forward but you must want to take it'#'sometimes we must stop to consider the best way ay forward.'#the desire to take a step forward to the morrow. the importance of taking your time and not rushing#'wounds feel more quickly when a salve is applied to them. when we ignore the pain they cause; they rot.'#'we must take actions to see them healed and rest when we are tired. only when our energy returns can we move forward carefully.'#'one step at a time.' fuck that hits hard#i've told myself the same words over and over again. just in my own special way#endwalker tho hurts so bad w the. fear and negative emotions in their hearts consume them and#they just cease to exist. the people you love turn into monsters with no other purpose#no goodbyes. not even a chance of meeting again in another life. that failure of hope / permanent and irreversible...
