Roevember Day 26: Treasure

Of all the treasures Rose came across on her adventures, none would be quite so precious to her as the family she found along the way.

What do you mean he didn't pop out of the womb a fully-formed man in his 30s at peak exhaustion levels from the get-go?!

Sounds fake. Give this man his 'ran over by a semi truck of stress and trauma' face back! I love my tired cat boy.

[ day 1: introduction ]

Stella is the daughter of warrior of light Akira Kirxaa and G'raha, born during the time skip between the end of Endwalker and 6.1. She's the type of kid who can never sit still and lives to be running around in the woods and ruining her best dress with dirt and grass stains.

Tangy, all Tangy, give me Tangy Lore

■ - Tangy makes her long-term stay wherever the Scions have settled- the Waking Sands, the Rising Stones, unfortunately missed out on most of The Falling Snow.. while she’s still a much smaller Miqo’te staying in the Waking Sands she insists she doesn’t need much space to sleep, and just has a bunk with a leather bag hanging off one of the posts. Granted, that bunk is piled with blankets and pillows, and she doesn’t even sleep under them; it’s all just lumpy padding for curling up on top of and snoring. (After meeting with Chuu and finding out 1) there was a way to avoid getting arrested after the Banquet fiasco and 2) she could totally be stronger. Totally. And subsequently getting… let’s call it Off-Brand-Fantasia’d, she needs a bit more space.. she stops snoring most of the time, though. Having more snout apparently makes it easier to not snore!) She doesn’t ever keep an apartment of her own, but she does sometimes trek from Revenant’s Toll to Vesper Bay to check in on the old haunt, since Urianger seems keen to Never Leave. lmao.

This gets real long so here’s a cut for the sake of the dashboards lol (good lort there’s images down there…)

✿ - She’s Asexual! In that she doesn’t feel sexual attraction towards people, but she does enjoy the act? It’s a good way to relieve stress and it’s fun exercise and it’s a nice way to bond with others.

She does, however, struggle with the ‘Oops’ part of Chuu’s ‘Fantasia’ which was giving her a body with a dick :T There’s a learning curve. (Among other curves. Wink? Sorry dndndndnfke) Also, not necessarily sex, but she probably kisses her friends. Because she cares about them! Cheek kisses, lip kisses, forehead and top of head kisses… hand kisses… Kisses :)

Yda and Tangy pose is [Glomp Tackle] with fresh expressions but the rest are all custom done ;w; oh also shader is Neneko’s Love… I think.. 🫢 it’s all the same one 🤦 I just forgot to write it down

∇- I genuinely think Tangy gets a handle on Accounting by hanging out with Tataru so much over the years. It keeps Tataru’s mind off worrying about everybody as much while they’re away on business, and Tangy gets to wrinkle her brain (this takes. Such a long time though. She’s still not reliable for it, either, but she’s passable :3) .. for a proper aging headcanon tho I think as she gets older she becomes an anchor point for the Scions like Tataru is. Sets up shop and trains young adventurers in combat and cooking and camping. Her whiskers twitch when thunderstorms are brewing. She still sometimes needs nudging from her own students on things, but it’s usually in things relating to Reading. I feel like she has pretty bad dyslexia and maybe even dyscalculia that she’s just learned to deal with.

♒- LOVES food. Loves to eat. Loves to help with cooking. Measuring ingredients for recipes is actually pretty easy since it’s not demanded exactness, it’s just “half of this cup, level this cup, just enough to cover the bottom of this pan,” like, not exact. You feel cooking with your heart. And kneading bread is an excellent and fun work out to her. Can not bake.. Kinda wishes she could. She’s just not precise enough, and she gets the order in which things have to be done mixed up, so she ends up with some pretty…. Not exactly inedible but…. 🫢 It’s not appetizing looking.. and it doesn’t taste great… She’s not a picky eater, but she hesitates to eat snails. It just makes her a little sad, cos they’re cute to her. And then she eats them anyways =w=; the chef worked hard to make this delicious meal and she’s gonna eat it! (And not eating the snails would waste their life so. Honor their sacrifice and eat them.) Her favorite food is whatever she can eat with her hands/whatever’s in front of her at the time, and any of F’lahminn’s cooking. Even if it’s burnt.

Miqo March Day 4 - Family

[Accompanying the picture tucked away in a drawer is a short letter, unsent and unaddressed.]

Even after all this time, I still hold out hope I'm writing this for you to read one day. I wonder sometimes if you'd even recognize them now, grown as they are. I'd like to think you would. 

Khisa's been training to become an armorer. She approaches everything she does with such passion. Truly, she takes after her mother. 

Vhizi is working as a cook, and improving in leaps and bounds everyday. He dreams of traveling, of apprenticing in Limsa Lominsa or even Sharlayan. Vuhri's been saving up for it, despite his protests. 

And Mhaya, my dear Mhaya. I can scarcely believe it, but she's been chosen as an Azure Dragoon. It is a high honor and heavy responsibility, but I know none more capable and dedicated. I wish you'd gotten to meet her. I pray you still might, someday. 

You would be so proud of them all.

[The writing stops there abruptly, the ink slightly smeared. The letter is unsigned and appears to have been hastily folded.]

Day 17 - Sally - Theia + Cahsi - G

Summary: Theia is supposed to go on an outing with her sister, but where is she?

“Where on Hydaelyn is that slippery little sister o’ mine? I’ve looked high ‘n low…” Theia muttered to herself as she lifted up the throw pillows on the couch for the third time. No, still not under there. “She better not’ve bailed on me!” Cahsi was a very busy woman. Being the star’s multi-time savior meant her hands were always kept full, spinning about five plates at once at any given time. But today was a designated quality time trip! That’s supposed to be different. Cahsi was forgetful. Theia loved her with the power of a primal, but that was just a fact, and it had always been the case. Nowadays, the scions or her friends or her creepy glowing mechanical orb thingy would usually keep her updated with her calendar appointments. This was a personal event, so Theia wasn’t sure if Cahsi actually remembered to put it on the books officially. They had dinner together last night, and their farewells had included a quick back and forth of: ‘fishing tomorrow at dawn, don’t forget’. ‘Yeah, yeah, got it.’ ‘You do? You sure?’ Yes, ‘mom’, gods. It’ll happen’ 

Well, it was supposed to happen now! The sun was starting to crest over the water, damn it! Her front door was unlocked when she checked, so she knew Cahsi used the key and had to be here somewhere. Her wife and kid were asleep, so she’s been trying to keep quiet, but she could scream about now. 

This could have been avoided if her sister stayed with her, but no, Cahsi deigned to stay at the inn rather than on her lumpy couch. She was used to roughing it on the ground when on the road adventuring, wasn’t she? She could’ve survived one night in her living room! (It really was quite lumpy, though. Theia got the feeling she knew what her Starlight Celebration gift from her sister was going to be this year).

She would have called her sister on her linkpearl until she picked up, but she didn’t know how to use the dang thing that well if she was being honest. She kept dropping it or losing it, and when she thought she finally got it, no voice came through. She’d already gone through every room in their small home at least twice, so she resorted to going just outside the threshold. There was a way to climb up onto her roof, if she was careful. The trellis was not made to hold the substantial weight of a hrothgar, but though it creaked ominously, it withstood her actions. Cahsi wasn’t really one for jump puzzles, and Theia even less so, but it was worth a shot, and the vantage point could help. After a quick transfer to the awning and a careful shimmy across and up some tiles, she reached the flat part on top of her roof that stuck out. It probably had a name, but did it matter? She really hoped none of her neighbors were awake to see this…

She raised her hand to help shield her eyes from the incoming glare as the sliver of rising sun reflected off the water and straight into her face. There were a decent amount of people milling about outside, seeing as she lived close to the docks. The boat they were supposed to board seemed to be doing a last call. Theia knew her sister wouldn’t have gotten on the ship without her, but she scanned through the group best she could anyway. Cahsi always liked to wear a bright pink floral shirt when they went fishing. She didn’t see any of the folks on board in that, so that ruled out another location. As Theia scanned the horizon and went through place after place–the markets, the guild, the main aetheryte plaza–with no sign of Cahsi, she began to feel the hope within her dim a bit. She knew fishing was not a favorite activity of her sister’s, but Cahsi was the one who implied she wanted to get better and learn more about it from the ‘resident expert fisher’ in her life, so Theia had been excited for this voyage. Now she could see the boat was on its way, too late for them to board. She decided to sit down at the edge of her roof, giving up for now. Cahsi always turned up eventually. Might as well watch the sunrise while she moped. It was beautiful, as it always was. 

It must have been a bell later that Theia finally heard her sister’s voice calling for her, much closer than she expected. She must have been too distracted watching the waves to notice her climb up here.  “Here you are! What’re you doing on the roof?” Theia pointedly did not answer her, nor turn around to meet her sister’s eye at first. She was mad at her. After Cahsi got sick of waiting and snuck up behind her to give her a hug, Theia lightly slapped her hands away, stood up, and turned around so she could tower over her. 

“Cassowary Gardner! Where have you been!?” Her tone was stern, and she did nothing to hide her scowl. 

She was so ticked that she let slip her sister’s original name. Er, well, as original as it got, since neither of them knew her birth last name. Cahsi didn’t actually mind getting called that, she’d told her that when she explained her name change post-Calamity, but Theia could tell by the look on her face that it felt weird to her. Well, right back at you, Cassowary! It still took her off guard when someone would refer to ‘miss Theia’ and meant the warrior of light, rather than herself. She felt honored that Cahsi chose her name when she thought she’d died, but it was a bit awkward when she turned out to be alive after all. Cahsi’s face, meanwhile, had transformed into a sheepish smile. Good! Maybe she felt properly chastised for once. Theia had used her ‘mom voice’ on instinct–the one that always made Cassowary drop whatever bug she was about to eat or sneak into her dress pocket as a child. She was getting more use out of it these days, her own kid in that phase where he shied from affection and thought being rude made him more grown up. While Cahsi had balked at first, she quickly recovered, remembering she was the powerful one these days and no longer a little kid. She still did look apologetic, at least. “Sorry, sorry! I got caught up in something…” “The only things that were supposed to be caught today were some spectacular, scaly, sea critters!” She crossed her arms and tapped her foot, waiting for a continuation. 

“I can see that you’re mad, but I already checked in with a kind dock worker, and there’ll be another ship leaving today in about a bell. Which is actually a bit wild, because I didn’t think this was that big of a tourist attraction? Multiple ships a day? Or are there really that many fishermen out there? I know this is Limsa, but I somehow managed to avoid too much of that scene, the bars were more the scene, you know I had waitressing gigs here and there. Oh, and the arcanast’s guild was close by to the dock we have to depart from, but their basement always smelled more of books, which was definitely fortuitous for me because I spent a lot of time down there back when I was practicing–”

“Cas. Please.” Her patience was a bit worn thin now, no time for run-ons and rambling. If they only had the timeframe of a bell to work with and Cahsi still looked woefully underdressed and prepared, then they’d need to get back down into her house soon to rectify this.  “Ok, fine. Duty called, alright?” “Before the sun even rose?” “Listen, monsters don’t care what time of day it is, they’ll attack when they feel like it! But no, nothing so dire as that. I made it here with enough time to spare! I got as far as unlocking your door and was going to wait inside, get some coffee, read the morning paper. But then! I heard a ruckus, and a call for help.” “...And you went into hero mode.” “And I went into hero mode.” Cahsi nodded sagely and shrugged. Theia sighed. Much as she wanted to keep being angry for her sister being late, putting others’ needs above her own family’s, she couldn’t help but be proud of her sister going out of her way to help those in need. It was like pulling teeth getting her to do her chores when she was younger, let alone offer assistance to a stranger. Cassowary had been selfish, not the type to help someone with groceries or track down someone’s lost cat (her sister told her a lot of stories about her random quests; the girl complained a lot about these mundane tasks, but she still did them)--and Cahsi may still have had plenty of moments of being an asshole, but she was kind, too. She gravitated toward those in need, and Theia was happy she helped regular folk even in the little ways, rather than only when the entire star or a nation was at stake. 

Cahsi had continued in the meantime, unaware that she was already forgiven. “I regret that it ended up making me late, especially when this was important to you, but think of what would have happened if I wasn’t there! One snatched purse turned into a whole ordeal that involved talking to numerous other people having similar problems, and one thing led to another, I had to conduct an investigation–anyroad. It’s taken care of. That guy won’t be stealing from sweet little old ladies like Sally again. There’s a lot of happy people in hawker’s alley right now. But I lost track of time, and by the time I realized, the boat was long gone.” She let out a deep breath and tacked on, “I’m sorry.” Theia pulled Cahsi into a quick hug and ruffled her hair, messing it up. With an indignant squawk, Cahsi shooed her away and started making her way down the awning. “Forgiven, nerd. Try not to pull it again when we’ve got a time sensitive plan on the books, but I can’t fault you for random people being in need of a hero. Just remember there are others willing to help–it doesn’t always have to be you.” She paused to make sure Cahsi absorbed her words, then clapped her hands together. “Now! Why don’t we ‘Sally’ forth then, hmm? Get dressed in boat appropriate attire, and I’ll get the poles ready. The new boat’s not going to wait for us all day! If we miss another, I’m disowning you.”

“Ha! We’ll only miss the new boat if your old bones can’t keep up. Need some help down to the ground, grandma?”

Theia was half tempted to jump down and force her to catch her. ‘A test of her reflexes’, so to speak. She knew Cahsi would catch her. But she really wasn’t so young anymore after all, and better to leave her back intact for this trip.

“This ‘grandma’ is going to ‘school’ you, on that boat! I’m going to catch so many more big fish than you, you’ll be crying like a ‘shoal’ loser when you can’t even collect enough scripts with your guppies to buy a single materia.

“Argh, not the fish puns! Anything but that!”

“Get prepared for a bunch more, because we’re going to have a ‘fin’tastic time trapped on a boat together for half the day!”

put him out of his misery.

uhh LOL very rare for me to oc post but I've been playing ffxiv and made some OCs... my cowboy catgirl Zaeli (half miqo, half hrothgar) and her adoptive father, Harmon.. For the endings context, Harmon is a wanted man and his bounty is quite high. A man sought him out and took him down, and Zaeli killed that man for vengeance. It implies at the end that she will put Harmon out of his misery.

still thinking about how less humanoid races are sidelined in FFXIV. when was the last time we had an au ra of significant story relevance? i guess there was Vrtra's vtuber avatar, but does that count? i'm not so sure. it was, after all, a major plot point that he was not what he appeared to be. before that, there was Ahewann, but he didn't do much and ended up being a Designated Plot Death Guy. i don't think that counts, not really. i do like that Radz-at-Han had such a prominent au ra population, though it still fell into the pattern of every nation being Hyur and Something Else.

and before EW we're getting into ancient history that I don't remember perfectly (Shadowbringers and Stormblood) and the only one who comes to mind from then is Yugiri. and Yugiri is great, of course, we love Yugiri in this household. but the moment Hien showed up, Yugiri retired from main plot relevance completely. And Stormblood released in... 2017, so even that was a long time ago. (insert illustration here of me gazing fondly at a framed picture of Yugiri, gently faded with age)

i think Dawntrail has generally been... okay about humanizing non-human characters. the first half, at least, hyur were in the minority of speaking roles. but priorities shifted in the back half, with Alexandria largely being a Land of White Humans. furthermore, after the poor reception Wuk Lamat has received, I'm worried that one of the "corrective" steps CS3 is gonna take is to step back from all this unseemly multiculturalism and focus once more on their core cast of hyur and elezen and miqos and maybe, occasionally, when we need a cavorting fool to lighten the mood, a lalafell. oh well! if that happens, it won't be a tragedy, just a return to form.

i know these are pretty small concerns in the long run and most players aren't gonna see fantasy racial demographics as a major concern, or even pull the reactionary "how dare you complain about something that doesn't matter to me" kinda thing. but like, this shit matters to me. when games present a fantastic spread of different races/species/cultures, they can do so in a way that maintains the dignity of, shall we say, Non-Protagonists, or they can not. FFXIV, to its credit, is usually pretty good about this... but not always. being a story that does right by your non-human characters is a state that must be actively maintained. and here in Hell World 2025, it's very easy for creatives to either purposefully or unintentionally fall back into chauvinistic narratives. there's a significant portion of the FFXIV playerbase hoping for exactly that.

so. i'm gonna be paranoid. one more hyur boy is whatevs. a bunch, though? that would be a pattern and that would be worrying.

i did this year's FFXIV Little Ladies Day quests and was briefly filled with ire that it was all about some boy- how very typical of the game to use a day about princesses to focus on the interiority of a conventionally attractive man, tch! and then i thought about it for more than five seconds and realized that's not what's going on. this year's story of a pop star prince does feel like it has wandered away from the core idea of the holiday- which i understand to be the honoring of girls and women- but as it's based on a real holiday i don't observe (Hinamatsuri) from a country I don't live in (Japan, or as it's known in Japan, "here"), i can't complain about the FFXIV Saturday Morning Cartoon distillation of the holiday not hewing to its ideals.

but something about it does seem off. something lacking, something uninspired. and i think that's because it's about a hyur midlander guy. because of course it would be! the absolute cowards at Squenix aren't going to set up a recurring character like Picot (because you KNOW he's gonna show up again, in 2026 at least) and make him something like a Hrothgar or a Roegadyn. or even, like, a friggin au ra. he's going to be a REAL race! something humans relate to! and the only relatable races are hyur (MIDLANDERS ONLY), miqos, and maybe, occasionally, if we can scrape together the budget, a lalafell or an elezen. maybe. don't get your hopes up.

like i'm not gonna rag on players for what they choose to play as. even if i find their choices uninteresting, it's still their choice. but the devs? the writers? nah, they get razzed for being boring.
