A gift for Ameliance

The Warrior of Light arrives at the Leveilleur mansion to deliver a very special gift to Ameliance.

The Leveilleur family reunited once again

I must say honestly that I haven't drawn in years, but I felt the need to reflect this through drawing and not in writing because it would be too short that it would even be laughable. So after a little effort and trying to remember how to properly hold a pencil to draw, I managed to make some very simple drawings. This idea occurred to me a long time ago during Endwalker when they first started Custom Deliveries for Ameliance, I just couldn't find the time to do it. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

I must mention that the Leveilleur twins are my favorite characters.

Oh and in the image of the comic, that is my username for my Twitter in case you want to visit me there too (^人^)

[tahri-nhupuju]

Gotta say, I love FFXIV's dedication to making its main straight couples just straight-up parodies of stereotypical hetero relationships.

The Chais seem at first like "Fat, stupid, overbearing wife and her whipped, henpecked husband who regrets marrying her" , but once you get to know them you realize they really do love each other, Chai-Nuzz is just like, depressed and has no self-esteem, and when Dulia-Chai "pushes" him to something, it's because she knows him well enough to know he wants to do or say something, but isn't letting himself. Also the only comment he ever makes about her being fat is that she is just as beautiful as when they first met. Dulia's "stupidity" is also portrayed as her being ill-suited to the sort of situations she's put in early on, but she has her own strengths and moments to shine, and her simple view of the world inspires the solution to a massive problem.

And then the Leveilleurs are "strict, paternalistic, cold authority figure and his inexplicably kind housewife", but Forchenault really does have a heart, and is just under so much fucking stress all the time, and he tries his best to make up for the incredibly cliche "bad father" situations he gets put in by the literal coming of the apocalypse, and Ameliance is like, a clever, slightly ruthless mastermind who is really genuinely into Forchenault's "stubborn old goat" thing. She talks about her husband like some girls on here talk about like, Saul fucking Goodman.

Some peak fucking relationship writing really.

8) call me nosy! is 4 too many? sorry!

1) Does your OC have a voice claim, if so who?

5) Do you ship your OC with a Canon character? If so who?

10) How does your OC handle their mental health? Do they take care of themselves?

14) Who's a character your OC cannot stand! It's on sight when they see them!

Oh hi hello! Be as nosy as you like!! :D

1) Not 100% sure because I've only started thinking about picking voice claim recently, but it might be Rapunzel from tangled. She and Vera have very similar energy. And kinda look alike, although that wasn't intentional.

5) I ship Vera with G'raha. I love that cat boy too much, I couldn't not. They're both sweeties, constantly trying each other to take care of themselves while ignoring their own needs. One of my recent wips is of their first kiss, right before he turns to crystal.

10) With toxic positivity! She had a bit of a breakdown after The Vault, and decided she can't allow herself to do that again. Not where anyone can see her at any rate. She will wear the strong confident hero mask even if all she wants to do is curl into one of her loved ones and sob. (It does not help that most of the time the person around who she's closest too is one of the twins. They are Babies and she will Not burden them like that.) Bonus points if she can do 500 side quests in a day so he doesn't have the time or energy to be alone with her thoughts!

14) Oh god I have been thinking about this one. At first Fandaniel came to mind for being obnoxious and insane, but no. It's not him.

It's Fourchenault.

That dumb ass made her baby siblings cry and she has not forgiven him. It does not matter that his cruelty was motivated by love. It does not matter that she adores the rest of the family and they have all forgiven him. She will put up with him for their sake, but she is always watching him. If he upsets the twins again she WILL deck him. She has told him this. So far he's been on his best behavior.

Choose violence ask game: 3, 13, 16 for FFXIV and 25 for Mass Effect?

3. screenshot or description of the worst take you've seen on tumblr

OH GOD I - okay hold on so a while ago idr, if like this person messaged me randomly or what, but i gave their blog a quick glance and followed bc i was looking for xiv blogs to follow, but i should have looked deeper because uh

and mind you; i am a known Ancients and G'raha enjoyer who's favorite expansions are endwalker followed closely by shb, so its like. very obvious. that a mistake has been made

tdlr they're someone who thinks the game sucks past 3.3 and i just. I loved Heavensward too! it can be your favorite! but the story has moved forward from Heavensward! if you hate THAT much of the story, and one of its most important characters, and most important plot points (the consequences of the acient's actions), then maybe. uh. play another game lol.

13. worst blorboficiation

Jullus, Gaius, and Forchenault. at least that i can think off the top of my head; for characters i don't like. Oh. Athena too, though I haven't seen as MUCH of that and more of like. weird horny. challenging xiv sapphics to get some fucking TASTE

16. you can't understand why so many people like this thing (characterization, trope, headcanon, etc)

estimeric. it has such incredible just two white guys(TM) energy. it reeks of fujo bait and i have seen maybe two mlm in my whole fandom experience who actually ship it. this is a straight girl ship and it sucks. wolmeric / wolstinien >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

For Mass Effect:

25. common fandom complaint that you're sick of hearing

I actually don't participate much in the ME fandom, having had my mettle tested in swtor and dragon age fandoms; but i refuse to hear any complaints about Kaidan. He is a GOOD LAD and he was CORRECT in ME2 and his romance IS GOOD and he's such a great example of nontoxic masculinity like hi. mans went to therapy before the series even started. perfect man. do not @ me

[cinnabun-faerie]

FFXIV EW: They get a call from "Ghostface"

Scream! AU

Note: So rather than Ghostface calling on phone, it'd probably be done on a Link Pearl.

Taglist: @missnella-nova @shippyprincess @healersadjust If you want to be added to the taglist for whenever I post, you can comment here on the original post !

Frightfest '22 Masterlist

Emet-Selch

Hythlodaeus probably had something to do with this. And probably Azem too. Actually he wouldn't even question it if Venat was involved.

"I don't know or care who you are. This nonsense stops now Hythlodaeus. You can't fool me."

"Do you like scary movies?"

Scary movie? He doesn't watch scary movies! Just because he's lugged around by Hythlodaeus and Azem to go see them, doesn't mean he likes them. But if he had to choose, Nightmare on Elm Street is alright. Wait a second. This seemed familiar. He'd throw his Link Pearl to the ground and crush it under his foot.

"I'm not going to die today."

Erenville

"I'm sorry, but who is this?"

"Who is this? Perhaps I called the wrong number."

"If you knew it was wrong, why did you call twice?"

He would be confused about how someone random got a hold of his Link Pearl contact. It was just for work and friends. Perhaps it was just a prank. If so, why did it unnerve him so. He could tell that something wasn't right. He would have to keep his wits about him and his eyes peeled for any sudden moment.

Fandaniel

He would be the one calling. It was way more fun that way! He loved the reactions of those who were easily scared. But if he got the call, he would be delighted. A deadly game? If he wins, can he be the second Ghostface? Who is the target? The Warrior of Light?

Fourchenault

He would have no time for such childish nonsense. He wouldn't hear any further word from this mysterious caller. He'd simply get rid of the link pearl and get a new one. Honestly, who goes around calling people to scare them? Surely that wasn't a shadow or figure he saw in the corner of his eye, right? Of course not. This movie nonsense was getting to his head.

Hythlodaeus

He would definately be scared especially after he'd watched the movie with Emet-Selch, Venat & Azem. Was he going to be the next target? He would make sure to find Emet-Selch right away so that way he wouldn't be alone. To be honest, he would have thrown out his link pearl immediately.

Venat

She would be so curious about this "mysterious caller" since she's already seen the movie that they were based on. She certainly didn't think she was in any mortal danger. So naturally she'd simply humor the caller.

"I've got a long list of favorites if you'd be so inclined to hear."

". . ."

She would be disappointed when she hears the dial tone. Too bad. Her list was good. She might as well go an tell Emet-Selch her long list instead.

[absolem0]

oh how the turns tabled

[smallest-turtle]

Is Forchenault even and Archon

[necra-loid]

just got two kids

[tahri-nhupuju]

I have a lot of thoughts vis-a-vis Lahabrea and Forchenault paralells, but instead of elaborating I'm just posting this low-effort meme:

[graha-stan-account]

Fine don't help, Forchenault. But when you wake up one morning to find your former glory has been reduced to a backyard furniture store and online shopping, I think you'll agree that clearance blowout was actually the "final days" sale after all.

[vergess]

Right so I'm like pretty high on account of the amount of pain I am in today, so bear with me but I'm going to talk about FFXIV in a very silly way okay rad

I miss when lifejournal let me put little titles for my cutaway link instead of 'just read more nerd~' and yeah dreamwidth still lets you but

oh my god I should crosspost this to the FFXIV dreamwidth (link)

Okay right okay so moral compulsion upheld let's chat

When I write my WOL characters (which it's a different wol per fic because I do NPCships) I find myself subconsciously emphasizing that the ones who are casters are are Openly Weird and the ones who are "physical" are Stoic (TM)

This is a fairly identifiable trend across major NPCs too, so that's likely what I am mimicking.

Casters are just very Openly Conspicuous (And Kind Of Weird). In comparison the melees are more reticent and try not to reveal their whole Deal.

Alphinaud and Alisaie are conspicuously rich, foreign twins. They sound like they learned English solely to imitate private school students on news casts. Or whatever, Eorzean.

I say this, and my estinaud heart compels me, to talk about why Estinien calls Alphinaud "little lord."

I know US audiences aren't great at picking up on this stuff, but Alphinaud specifically acts like he is a peer in standing with the highest house of Ishgard despite being a weird foreign child (16 is underage in Ishgard because of catholicism as confirmed in the AST job quests where this is pointed out as being kinda like weird according to Civilized Peoples [Eorzea, Sharlayan, Garlemald, the irony abounds] but anyway the point is Estinien would probably think under 21 is a child).

Little Lord Alphinaud is on that Yes, Master Wayne shit like 'okay little man I will do what you say but you are baby' okay I love it.

Back to other major casters: Y'shtola literally wears a Weird Scientist Outfit in ARR; like she goes around with those ridiculous goggles asking random people intense science questions (magic is a science).

Then she gets a costume change to something a little more iLVL 170, and in exchange she gets aether poisoning in her eyes that make them glow. She just walks around with glowing eyes okay. We as the player just see them as a weird white, but that's because we have different eyesight, that filter means they literally glow (see: dunesfolk lalafell eyes, wood and fibercraft 90 role quest).

So obviously her next step in being the most Visibly Magical Bitch On Hydaelyn is to fall into a coma and then start dressing like the Wicked Witch Of The First.

So yes that's a pretty conspicuous Vibe.

Though at least Black is arguably a reasonable camo colour in the deep woods.

Unlike Alisaie, who goes out in a bright red tailored coat on the battlefield and then stabs people with roses made of firelight this fucking Utena acting ass nonsense.

You see my point, I am sure. Conspicuous.

I didn't play a Gridanian starter I do not know how Papalymo fits into this because I never met him (I understand that you meet him in ARR, but he's not exactly a major character after Heavensward let alone after Stormblood).

Forchenault kind of almost makes a play for stoicism when you first meet him in his diplomatic robes and his sneering, but like actually he just dresses like that. Imagine if you just saw some guy in like full Judges Robes with Wig And Shit in regular daily life that's Forchenault he wears them everywhere he goes to fucking tromp around in the Garlean (Siberian) tundra wearing his judge outfit okay.

And then you've got Urianger (Urianger).

I was just going to leave it at that because like... how do you capture whatever the fuck Urianger has going on. The gender of this bitch is unfathomable. I am constantly callign him a he/him lesbian but since he marries Thancred there's some degree of bi at play there too but on the other hand how do you describe his decision to go become a tarot reading goth GF in the land of rainbows and fairies than "he learned what a they/them is and immediately became a he/him lesbian, like a pokemon evolving".

Anyway he has a tattoo of his university on his fucking face and speaks like he got kicked out of the Society for Creative Anachronism for not taking his period grammar seriously.

Conspicuous. Not just super visible, but super visibly themselves. A poison dart frog honesty.

Compare these Extremely Visible Acting Bitches to our Melee types.

Thancred is so fucking... IDEK man he's on that PTSD repression shit and has been since before we met him, with both his Stoic War Dad vibes in Shadowbringers and his Extreme Slut vibes preceding it being equally unhealthy coping mechanisms for his constant self worth issues. Like, someone resurrect Louisoix, I have my own phoenix summon I'm immune and I just want to talk about why your children are all so insane Louisoix because Thancred and Fourchenault show similar signs of juvenile abuse. It's fine Louisoix I just want to talk.

Lyse makes an argument just by virtue of her name not being Yda.

But also there's the fact that she convinced immigration that she was a white girl at 3 different naturalization systems for different countries and then the absolute MOMENT the fucking SECOND she heard the war was turning immediately became the most hardcore violent liberationist conceivable? (Fortunately, with a strong focus on rebuilding and stability).

Even ranged pDPS fall into this, tending to be very visibly and loudly Something Else to disguise their intentions. G'raha's bardic braggadocio did a far better job hiding his intentions (gap year) and nature (nerd) than the Exarch's ~I AM KEEPING A SECRET; PLEASE DO NOT LOOK FOR MY SECRET; THANK YOU FOR YOUR COMPLIANCE~ nonsense.

Anyway literally hiding who they are etc.

Aymeric is the pope's son and boy howdy did he throw himself into being a paladin (dark knight but that's a different fight for a different day) to make sure no one ever questioned his made up heritage with some non-Pope parents that For Sure Gave Birth To Him It's Fine Really.

Ryne also uses the Yda defense by not being named Minfilia, and takes her transformation one step further to have a completely different hair and eyes (and implicitly other features).

Hien much like Aymeric was also trying to hide his parentage hmmmmmmmmm lotta daddy issues in this game.

Wait... Gaius... Ranjit... Louisoix...

Actually wait.

Okay I'm updating my hypothesis.

Casters=demandant; Melee=avoidant is OUT

Melee=Daddy issues is IN.

Anyway I wanted to talk about the types of stereotypes people would have of casters vs melee in the setting because of this difference in personalities but actually instead I just reminded myself that the fundamental truth of FFXIV is that Dads Cause A Lot Of Trauma

In conclusion: I miss Homestuck.

[veloxaraptor]

Finally Finished Endwalker

Thoughts are below the cut. They WILL contain spoilers.

The most I can give this expansion is an OK. It wasn’t bad, it wasn’t great, it was OK.

There were a *lot* of pacing issues. At the start, it felt like we were ZOOMING through Sharlayan and Thavnair. But the moment we get to Garlemald it screeches to a slow crawl. Then picks up again once you get back to Thavnair for the 2nd time. And once you leave there, it’s a crawl again. A lot of bits felt as though they were used to artificially lengthen the play time and gave little to no substance otherwise. (Looking at you, Loporrits.)

I felt very disconnected from the story. I feel like they waited too long to hit with the emotional punches and that there was never any REAL sense of urgency, like you might fail, or as though you’d lose your companions for good. At the last zone, when all your companions began sacrificing themselves, it felt very ho-hum. (With the exception for me of G’raha and the twins.) Because you knew, even without knowing, that they were going to come back. They set it up blatantly for it. And I felt like summoning them back BEFORE the final boss kind of cheapened things a little.

Some scenes, like the one where Zenos takes over your body, felt very pointless. What was the point of it? Nothing came of it, he didn’t do anything, you get your body back and he never tries again. It certainly FELT like they were going somewhere with it and then pulled back at the last moment. 

There were some points where there could have been a more powerful impact, but they moved on too quickly for you to really absorb it or were ruined by bits of filler. 

The end boss felt very much like a rehash of Sephiroth from FF&, complete with, “Shall I give you Dis Pear?!” And while I could very much feel sympathy and even somewhat invested in some of the civilizations they brought into play, the whole, “We achieved what we set out to achieve, so now I just want to die” was pretty bleh. 

And Zenos popping up every 5 minutes with, “Fite me bro 1v1 irl” got old fast. (Tho I have to say riding his back as Shinryu was pretty kickass.)

That all being said, there were some things I felt were wonderfully executed. 

I thought all the new zones were absolutely beautiful and well mapped out. I wanted to roll my eyes at the inclusion of Ascians, Emet-Selch, and the world Unsundered, But the way it was included didn’t feel forced, felt more organic than some other parts, and it was a nice way to see what the world was like before the sundering. 

I liked that the prediction I had about Forchenault and the Forum was more or less spot on. And seeing him finally admit his plans, what they were for, and why he was doing it, was genuinely one of the more emotional parts for me.

The call backs to previous questlines--either MSQ or sidequests--and older characters that were no more than footnotes in my mind was a nice touch. Seeing a different side of Garlemald--the civilians and soldiers who were just doing their duty and trying to live their life as best they could and the only way they knew how. Seeing them finally admit that what they were wasn’t what they should have been. 

Vrtra was an amazing additon and I like seeing a Dragon in a different position that we’ve seen thus far. And seeing one with such a disposition that there truly feels like there’s no difference between them and men. 

I do believe that Ishikawa did the best she could with the pieces she’d been given. There were certainly choices made before she took over that should not have been. (Looking at you Zenos.) But she took them and made something of them that I don’t think other writers would have been able to do. And Soken, like always, is a musical genius.

I certainly don’t feel this expansion lives up to the hype, or its predecessor (Shadowbringers) but it wasn’t *bad*. I look forward to seeing what Ishikawa and the rest of the FFXIV team brings in the future. 

(Though for fuck sake, that epilogue. I just want to be DONE with Ascians, thank you very much.)

Also, please bear in mind that these are JUST my opinions. They’re not fact. They’re how *I* feel about the expansion. If you feel differently or enjoyed it more than I did, by no means are you wrong, or wrong for enjoying it so much. This is just my take and feelings on the matter.

[heretic-altias]

FFXIV Characters as Star Stable Players

Went through a ton of them talking to my friends and thought maybe some people out there somewhere might enjoy these so look below the cut to begin bc there's a lot of them.

Alphinaud: Every horse is level 15. He feeds them every day. Meticulously plans the best gear out for racing and studies each track. Top high score racer on his server, also does champs in his spare time. Will talk about racing to anyone who will listen

Alisaie: All her horses range from levels 1-5 and are depressed. She never feeds them, she's not wasting star coins on stable care when she could be saving up for another horse for her collection. Beat Alphie in a championship one time, will not let him live it down. Spends most of her time either chasing Alphie around or messing with her friends.

Thancred: has no idea what hes doing but Ryne really likes this game so he's playing with her. Lets her pick and name horses for him.

Ryne: Adores all of the horses. Roped both Thancred and Gaia into playing with her. All of her horses have names and personalities and she loves talking about them. Never asks for star coins because they're expensive, but Thancred always gifts her some on double sc weekend.

Gaia: Another one in the 'never feeds the horses club' has one Friesian and insists it's the best horse in the game and the only one she needs. It's level 15 bc she literally never rides another horse. Mostly plays with Ryne. Wrote a backstory for her horse at Ryne's urging, it's very edgy and tragic.

Y'shtola: Rarely plays. Saves up for a horse, logs on, buys it, takes pictures of it, and leaves for another two months until she can afford another.

Urianger: Spends 300 years naming each horse. Has an entire backstory for his character and all of their horses. Obsessed with the lore, frequently writes long lore posts for sso tumblr. Ryne loves reading his fics. Owns all of the old disc games, spent forever trying to get ahold of them and now treasures them.

G'raha Tia: The WoL likes this game so he expected it to be amazing. Ended up playing mostly with the others, but not really on his own. He just really likes hanging out with everyone else. Thinks all of the horses are nice, could never criticize a new release. Probably named his starter after the WoL or asked them to name it for him.

Emet-Selch: Hates every update. Writes long tumblr posts about how the game is terrible now and used to be better. Only rides old models, has thousands of star coins saved because he refuses to buy any of the new horses.

Lahabrea: Constantly leaves comments on sso's instagram about what they should add to the game. Takes it personally when those things don't appear literally the next week. People wonder why he still plays this game bc all he does is complain on instagram over stupid things. Still adores each of his horses and knows their names and personalities.

Elidibus: Analyzes every update and its pros and cons. Thinks SSO should hire him. Posts carefully worded critique posts that he spent hours thinking out. Forgets to actually play the game because he's so focused on doing this.

Aymeric: Loves taking screenshots. Will carefully coordinate every outfit and tack set he has and loves spending his time on it. Probably an instagram celebrity, maybe even an ambassador. Owns a well known club. Only says nice things about the game online to avoid drama, but admits criticisms to his friends.

Estinien: Instagram famous only because he's in Aym's club and Aym posts about him a lot. Complains about other players annoying him. Eventually privates his account bc Aym's fans are driving him insane. People probably wonder why Aym hangs out with him. Lets Aym take screenshots of him and goes to all the club events even though he'd rather just play his msq and save up for horses because he knows Aym is happy.

Lucia: acts as the co owner of Aym's ingame club. Helps filter out some of the chaotic join requests they constantly get. Manages the wait list, handles the club instagram page. Likes to run her training route every day.

Haurchefant: Thinks every horse is great, also in Aym's club. Loves being an instagram celebrity and talks to his fans all the time. Writes lots of posts about how great his friends and the game are. He's just here to have a good time.

Zenos: wants to race against everyone all the time. Gets mad if you say no. Competes with Alphie for those top scores on the server. Probably has one of those ongoing weirdly dark Instagram story accounts where characters like die and horses are stolen/abused and such.

Ysayle: collects pretty horses and enjoys screenshotting them. Likes light colors and a winter type aesthetic. Her club is the other big club on the server besides Aym's. They all ride white horses and matching outfits. She tries really hard to diffuse any drama in the community.

Hien: honestly just probably having a fun time. Likes to host tumblr meet ups just to talk to the people and hang out. Posts mediocre memes that are really only successful bc he's the most active meme page on tumblr. Everyone knows he's a really chill guy.

Arenvald: Probably plays with Alphinaud sometimes but is a little lost when Alphie starts talking about his racing obsession. Still likes to hang out with him even though Alphie crushes him whenever they race.

Minfillia: Owns the club all the scions are in, but it's really just a club for their friend group to chill in. Probably plans events for them all and coordinates everything so that everyone can make it. Takes good care of all her horses, reminds everyone to buy stable care each week even if they dont actually do it.

Lyse: Only feeds the horse she's riding. Loves running championships just for fun on whatever horse she happens to have when the announcement pops up for one. Chats with other players in the race waiting areas, and sometimes even in global if theres nothing happening.

Papalymo: Plays with Lyse. Tries to tell her she'd have more success in champs if she fed her horses and got some tack with actual stats, but she doesn't listen. Sometimes lets her beat him so she feels good about the race.

Fandaniel: insane. Constantly bugs the game and glitches into locked areas. Brags about it to anyone who will listen.

Magnai: really wants to start a romance RP in global. Never finds anyone who wants to play bc everyone reminds him they're against the game's rules.

Sadu: probably making fun of Magnai in global. Likes to start fights in that chat.

Nero: loves finding glitches and testing exploits. Knows a concerning number of ways to use cheat engine for funny things without being banned. Never actually cheats and uses these things solely for meme purposes. Probably leaks horse coats/models online before release just to watch the chaos.

Cid: Also good at finding bugs, but does so in order to report them to SSO support. Nero hates him reporting all the good bugs.

Ardbert: Has a little friend group club with the the other heros from the first. Doesn't really use social media, they prefer to just use their discord server with each other. All of them train together most afternoons.

Tataru: Her gear closet is perfectly organized. Every horse has an assigned stall. Also writes them backstories. Plans out her star coin saving months in advance and exactly what horses she'll buy in what order. Does not stray from it even if a new one comes out, she'll add it on to the end.

Krile: Another lore nerd, started playing at the same time Alphie did and sometimes reminds him about what he was like as a new player. Loves writing and responding to lore posts. Her and Urianger probably interact online a lot.

Louisoix: Played star stable years ago, was super famous in the community. Quit playing a couple years ago but everyone still talks about him. Others desperately try to be like him, but nobody can fill his shoes in the community.

Forchenault: Writes extensive posts of what he thinks of the game, mostly complaints. Will fight anyone who disagrees. Refuses to meet up with anyone else ingame, nobody actually knows if he even logs on still or just complains. Thinks actually playing every day is a waste of time.

Ashai: Instagram fanboy for zenos and his weirdly dark story. Zenos isn't even famous, he has like 220 followers, but Asahi worships the ground he walks on. Runs a fanpage for him where he just reposts Zenos's screenshots/edits and talks about how great they are. Draws fanart too, but he's a terrible artist. Zenos pretends he doesnt exist. Purposely switched his server to the one Zenos plays on and always keeps an eye out for him.
