#final fantasy 14 headcanons

[nephiieatsuranium]

i am having the big brainrot about the young solus before he gets his emet-selch expansion dlc

ofc, this is just my personal headcanon hshsh

[vantaray]

I'm pretty sure it's stated in game that chocobo are bred to accommodate different race sizes, so I thought it would be fun to design them as different breeds. Click to read more!

Standard bred chocobo are of medium size and the most common. They're largely preferred by hyur and are considered the most versatile. While Lalafell prefer a miniature chocobo as a mount, many farmers also raise them as livestock guardian animals for their flocks.

Miqo'te often breed a slightly smaller type of chocobo which are built for speed and often seen in racing. Two popular breeds for elezen include a swan-like, elegant bird as well as an Ishgardian breed with thicker feathers (often used to stuff expensive pillows)

The breed favored by Au Ra vary greatly in size like auri themselves. While omnivorous, this breed also tends to have a higher taste for meat. Viera bred chocobo are the rarest breed, with lithe legs and a long beak for survival in heavily wooded areas.

Hrothgar and Roegadyn often prefer large, draft breeds of chocobo. Hrothgar bred chocobo have the rare ability to turn their heads 180 degrees, and Roe chocobo are also commonly used for chocobo carriages.

Just some fun little headcanons, I hope you enjoy them :)

[punklilyyy]

[wrhivahkhiki]

Rhivah's outfit for the beginning of 1.0 - with some liberties. Monk wasn't available, but pugilist was! And the race gear only recently added the two dye channels, making these colours possible in-game finally

[starvoidsailor]

Not me thinking about Neros name.

It is an interesting name though, so I'll do it anyway.

There are a few famous people who were called Nero, most prominently Emperor Nero Claudius Caesar Augustus Germanicus, most well know for being a tyrannical leader and setting Rome on fire for a building project. With the name Nero meaning strong or vigorous and later being adapted to mean black in Italian and other European languages in some variations. We all know that, an impressive and historically charged name of a grand and slightly insane roman emperor (like Gaius, there were so many emperors who had Gaius in their name) as the perfect base for Nero tol Scaeva.

His last name, Scaeva, being derived from one of Julius Caesar's most prominent Centurion Marcus Cassius Scaeva who famously wore red. Easy, we got that down as well. Makes sense since red is his color and Gaius Baelsar was named after Julius Caesar.

But what made me wonder was his last name. We know what Nero means, depending on the angle, i.e the language, it either denotes physical stenght or the color black. But what does Scaeva mean, specifically? Even if both names were picked from ancient roman history to fit with the empires theme and somewhat arranged around Gaius correlation to Caesar, let's just wonder for a moment what Scaeva actually means. Just for the fun of it.

If you Google "what does Scaeva mean?" all you'll get are some lovely articles regarding hoverflies since their scientific name of a genus of them is Scaeva, which has nothing to do with Nero, either ours nor the roman emperor. Unfortunately a dead end.

Doing a little deep dive back into my dusty Latin Vocabulary since all roads lead back to Rome, Scaeva is indeed listed there. Well, kind of.

Scaeva was a word used to describe a certain type of gladiator in ancient Rome, just like Bestiarius or Gladiatrix. It specifically was used to refer to gladiators of any type that were left-handed.

It furthermore is also an adjective. Scaevus is the masculine baseform to look at, meaning "left" or "on the left side" but can also translate to mean "clumsy" or "unlucky" or, my personal favorite, "powerfully influenced by luck [Fortuna], for good or bad,". Scaevus is the masculine form, as said, so how is it conjugated to Scaeva? Easy, the singular nominative feminine of Scaevus becomes Scavea. Meaning that Neros lastname is the feminine version of the word, something European languages like German or Spanish and French like to do, with usually a feminine and masculine form of the word.

Now, why did I ramble about this?

Because I got tired at 1am, wondered what his lastname meant, fell down a rabbit hole or two and came back out with refreshed Latin and some headcanons regarding our dearest engineer.

Nero is left-handed but became ambidextrous during the academy for sake of outshining Cid

Nero was an accident and doesn't know his father

His lastname is his mother's

There were probably other things I found on my way I could delve into as well and maybe I will but I'll leave you guys this for now.

[uncanon-xiv]

They call him Ironbone.

[valeriedufromage]

Valerie Dufromage is my Wildwood elezen, she is 22 (same age as me) and was born and raised on the city-state of Ishgard. Her... rather unique surname is a reference to the industry of her family, they make Ishgardian cheese (If that's a thing...) She is half Gridanian and thus has an appartment at lavender beds, although she does not go there much since she met Haurchefant. And how did they meet? When she first left Ishgard to live somewhere where it's warmer, she ended up being frowned upon most elezen in Gridania, so defeated, she came back to Coerthas, where she met Haurchefant by chance, after mistaking his headquarters for an inn. He fancied her enough to offer her a position which she accepted, as anything was better than her family's godforsaken cheese farm. Haurchefant would playfully flirt with her, one thing led to the other and they are together now. That's about it for the sinopsis of my Headcanon...

Era's Paladin Lore Overhaul - Part 1

"Stand tall my friend, may all the dark lost inside you find light again" - Tomorrow and Tomorrow (Masayoshi Soken)

You gaze up at the sea of stars, each one a twinkle flickering in and out of existence. Your breath staggers and catches as a thought crosses your mind.

You've done it. You've saved the Star. After everything, after all you've been through. You have done it.

Though your life extinguished, though your end certain, you found purpose. You found fulfillment. Through the tears, the pain, the despair, you found your purpose. You found love, happiness, a journey that you cannot describe and a cause worth fighting for.

And you found your voice.

You have earned your rest Paladin of Hydaelyn, Champion of the Star.

Rest now Paladin, for when you wake a new journey awaits you for this is journey's end is but one step into tomorrow.

The Paladin, born in Ishgard and practiced throughout the Star. Bound to the path of righteousness, justice and Light. Paladin's are bound to an Oath that gives them their powers and strength. But what powers their Oaths is their commitment to their Patron and their cause. For without one or the other, they are nothing and must draw on other sources for their power (see Oaths *To be uploaded*).

The Calamity that revenged the lands at the end of the Sixth Astral Era, caused a steep decline in Paladin's for the years that followed in the Seventh Umbral Era. Oaths broken, faiths destroyed, naught remained of their will. And those who managed to survive Carteneau, with some form of their will and Oath in tact, hung up their blades as protectors of the Star and entered the Sultansworn as guardians of the Sultana. Their powers weakened as their Patrons had turned their backs on them for a second time.

Five years after the fall of Dalamud, once mighty Paladin's had been reduced to wandering the walls of Ul'Dah. Though, scholars would argue to not call them Paladin's and instead would instead let them be known as Gladiators. A few have tried to keep the teachings and art of Paladin's alive, yet their numbers continue to dwindle.

To be a Paladin, a true Paladin, one must take a journey to prove themselves to their Patron, where said Patron will test them, though the types of tests vary depending on the Patron (see Oaths *To be uploaded). To prove the strength of their resolve, their spirit. Once they complete the trial and only once they complete it can they take their Oath and receive their power.

Paladin's are masters of the sword, shield and magic. Their armour varies but most opt for plate armour or light armour for easier movement. Their magic mimics that of White Mage magic with lesser healing and Holy magic that draws from their Patron.

Paladin's walk the path of Light and those who forsake the Light are cast aside and left to the mercy of the beautiful Abyss. They either become Oathbreakers, souls who draw on the powers of Darkness, also known as Dark Knights (see Soul Crystals *To be uploaded*) or they take on an entirely different class.

Some types of Paladin are more common then others. Such as:

Paladin's of Halone

Paladin's of Nophica

Paladin's of Nald'Thal

Each Paladin's Oath varies depending on their Patron and each Paladin's power is dependent on who their Patron is. (see Oaths *To be uploaded).

The Paladin has always been a shining star of hope among a sea of darkness and despair. And should the Star be in need of a hero a Paladin will rise up and help usher in a new era.

Hi guys!

Needless to say, this is my personal headcanon and lore because I wanted something that really wrapped Dark Knight and Paladin up as two sides to the same coin.

THIS IS MY PERSONAL HEADCANON AND MY PERSONAL LORE

If you do not like it then you can keep scrolling because it has ZERO effect on you or your story. Those of you who are curious I thank you for reading and hope you look forward to the rest that will be uploaded under #eras paladin lore

This sounds more aggressive then I mean it to be, but I know how XIV fandom is lmao yes this is cringe but I am having fun and wanted something entirely unique for my WoL and his Paladin story! I hope you enjoy regardless though!

Thancred/fem!WOL sex pollen for kinktober?? 🫣

Kinktober 2023

Thancred - sex pollen

The wind was blowing hard, whistling through the fields as Thancred practiced swordsmanship on a dummy. He was sweating, heart beat fast, muscles contracting at the repeated action of his arm moving back and forth slashing the dummy in front.

The windows and doors made a loud sound, shutting with a thud as the wind slammed against them. He finally broke rhythm to notice white tiny particles being carried by the strong gusts of wind. The air was scented of sandalwood, and the concentration of the particles made it seem foggy. As people rushed back into their houses, Thancred paid it no mind. He had training to complete for the day.

As Thancred continued to slash, he felt a jolt of electricity that went down his spine. His belly muscles began contracting, he hunched over groaning. A warmth began rising between his legs, Thancred was orgasming. He felt viciously ecstatic, looking around as his body became hyper sensitive. The sweat against his skin felt much more prominent as he could feel his chest move up and down to breathe. Thancred searched around for someone, something to ejaculate in.

Thancred started moving around chaotically, he ran began banging on doors for someone to open up, but no one did. He finally reached the nearby pub as he rubbed his dick between his legs, wanting to squirt his cum out. He ran in and banged at the countertop, “please someone, fuck me”, he said desperately. Just then he heard the door of the pub open again behind him.

You stumbled upon the entrance step, barely gaining balance holding the table nearby. You looked around as you hyperventilated, finally seeing a someone stand before you. The minute your eyes locked, Thancred and you ran towards each other like animals. The moment your bodies clashed into one another, he bit into your neck, leaving a hickey as he began grinding his dick on your groin. Wasting no time you both pulled, tugged and yanked off your clothes in a jiffy. Standing completely naked in the middle of the empty pub Thancred put you on the table and pierced you with his throbbing dick. He pumped as you groaned, humping back with your hips to match his pace. The walls echoed loud thumping, as Thancred reached out and squeezed your breasts tightly. There was a glaze over both your eyes, and a pain in your groans to climax. As Thancred used his strong muscles to pick up incredible speed, you touched your clit. Rubbing it, faster and faster. He pushed his hips deep till you could feel his balls against you. As your clit throbbed, releasing heat through your groin and chest. Thancred released his semen inside, you felt wet and warm in your pussy as you moaned your relief.

Just as it was over Thancred and you looked at each other confused and red in the face. Immediately turning away from each other’s bodies, frantically wearing your clothes back. “I’m sorry, I didn’t know what I was doing”, Thancred said sheepishly. You turned around embarrassed “No please don’t apologise, I was the same”. Thancred laughed, “Well at least I know someone in town can match my pace”, making you giggle.

Scale and scar ref sheet for my FFXIV WoL Sinkur Avankol!

Scar info under the cut +his old ref sheet: (SB/ShB/EW Spoilers)

SB: During the second Zenos encounter with Yugiri, Zenos dragged his sword along Sinkur's chest with the intent to scar. Since the blade was cursed, healers weren’t able to properly mend it. Sinkur despises this scar, it only serves to remind him of his own weaknesses and Zenos’s obsessive behavior towards him. 

ShB: After consuming the aether of the lightwardens Sinkur’s arm began to change. It started with light scarring across the palm of his hand that eventually transformed his entire arm after defeating Innocence. It continued to spread until he finally killed Hades and dispelled the excess aether. Though no longer at risk of turning, his scars and ‘beast-like’ arm are a cruel reminder as to just how close he was to losing everything. He hides these scars when he can.

EW: These scars are from the onslaught of scythe attacks he endured during his final Zenos fight. His heart stopped due to these injuries and though he lives on the gnarly scarring left behind displays just how bad that fight was. He comes to learn to accept these scars as he felt he got them by being strong rather than too weak. He’s glad they cover a majority of his past Zenos scarring.

This ref was made a while back and is super outdated, but shows how his scars and hair altered throughout the expansions!

Haurchefant NSFW Alphabet

A/N: im so fucking down bad for this man i will go fucking feral

Smut under cut (18+ writing / afab! reader/wol)

A= Aftercare (what they’re like after the act)

He is so doting, whatever you need, it can be considered done. Water? Was already there before you started, snacks too. Need a bath or a towel? He's on it. Just want to be held? He's been holding you this whole time silly. Haurchefant truly cherishes you with every fibre in his being, so aftercare is of the utmost importance.

B= Body part (favorite body part their own or their lovers)

On himself: He likes his forearms and hands. His forearms are quite defined and muscular, he wouldn't lie that it makes his heart melt when you wrap your own arm around them when you two go on walks. As for his hands, he knows how much you enjoy them; the way his hands alone can make you scream and moan sends a rush through his whole body. 

On you: Despite worshipping every part of you, your thighs bring him more joy than he can comprehend. The feeling of your thighs squeezing his head while he slurps up your pussy is enough to make him cum alone if he doesn't stop himself. He would also be the happiest man in the world if you let him fuck your thighs, just saying. 

 Cum (anything that has to do with it)

He cums a pretty substantial amount and the consistency tends to be a bit more on the viscous side, at least at first, if you keep making him cum it begins to become thinner and a clearer colour; it does however take many rounds to get to that point. 

Haurchefant's preferred place to finish is on your stomach or breasts, but he isn't too picky as long as it's in or on you. 

D= Dirty secret (Pretty self explanatory)

There were several times before either or you had confessed or began to date where you would come to see him and he would instantly get hard, of course you weren't able to see it as his desk was covering him, but he does still feel a bit embarrassed over it.

E= Experience (do they know what they’re doing)

He has a fair bit of experience, but has also read his fair share of erotic novels that have given him some ideas on making things even more interesting than usual. 

F= Favorite position

Spooning, 69, prone bone, valedictorian

G= Goofy (how serious are they)

He'll happily make some jests if the moment allows, only if you're okay with it. 

H= Hair (grooming habits)

He keeps himself presentable and trimmed neatly. He has a really nice happy trail going on. 

I= Intimacy (in the moment romantic or rough/dirty)

Very intimate, if you allow him to he will sing his praises and love for you for hours, in and out of the bedroom.

J= Jack off (do they masturbate and how often)

If given the time and opportunity his hand would be stroking his cock so much more, that being said he usually does jerk off daily if he can, or preferably goes straight to you.

K = Kink (kinks what they like possibly unusual)

I see him as a man who is down to try almost anything, save for anything that hurts or endangers you both. 

The main kinks I imagine him having are:

Praise

Petplay

Anal

Bondage and sensory deprivation

Dirty talk (if we can count that as a kink)

L= Location (where they like to get it on)

As much as he would like to take you as his own wherever the two of you please, it is unfortunately frowned upon in Ishgardian society. Having said that, the beds of Camp Dragonhead and the Fortemps Manor have been fair from the only places you've both indulged yourselves, for example, the coethorn highlands behind trees, Aymeric's estate, the intersectory, a rented room at the forgotten knight and the firmement, just to mention some.

M= Motivation (things that makes them tick/turn ons)

You showing off your strength causes him to become down bad, and this is just canon. 

Another is when you speak assertively, he's secretly hoping you might use that tone of voice on him in the bedroom someday soon.

N= No (turnoffs or absolutely won’t do)

He refuses to harm you, at most maybe some spanking, but nothing more. Also isn't a fan of pure degradation, mostly giving it but he would prefer not to receive it on its own, but you add some praise in there and he's all for it.

Other than that, mostly basic things, crossing boundaries that have been established, scat ect.

O= Oral (receiving or giving and how skillful they are)

This man, if given the opportunity, would eat your pussy for every meal of the day, and he's good at it too. Riding his face could be considered a near biblical experience, by the time he lets you off, yes, lets you, you've probably reached enlightenment. 

He will hold your hips in place to make sure he can get his meal without you squirming away and to give him a way to push you closer into him, often getting you to grind your clit against his nose while he laps at what your hole has to offer him. He will happily slurp up your pussy for as long as you need, but probably longer than that. 

And of course, he does love getting his dick sucked, especially if you play with his balls while you suck on the head of his cock, he'll have to try and stop himself from cumming when you do that.

P= Pace (how fast they are and how long they last in bed)

He will make himself last as long as you need him to, if it’s for you he will edge himself until he just can’t anymore. 

Q= Quickie (do they prefer fast and hard)

He does for the most part prefer slow fucking, it gives him the pleasure of being able to savour your flesh around him and the intimacy between you both, but if a fast rough fuck is what you desire, then it will be done and done well.

R= Risk (do they like to try new things)

He doesn't mind some risk, but would prefer to keep it to a minimum. But is always down for trying something new with you, at least once, maybe twice. 

S= Stamina (how many times they can go and how long each round lasts)

A knight lives to serve, and he will, if you want more we will provide. It takes many rounds for him to be completely spent and have to beg for mercy. 

T= Toys (are they game for using sex toys on themselves or lovers)

While it is proven you can pleasure you more than adequately with his mouth, fingers and cock, he will rarely say no to using them. The more pleasure you feel, makes him so much happier and hornier.

He also doesn't mind you using toys on him, but much prefers the feel and warmth of your body.

U= Unfair (how do they tease or do they enjoy suspense themselves)

Huge tease. He will whisper the dirtiest smut into your ear and then have the two of you go about your daily tasks. However in teasing you he may as well be teasing himself also; which has led to desperate fucking in non ideal and risky places. 

V= Volume (are they loud, what sounds, and do they talk)

Loud, my god is he loud. Not just in moans but he won't stop talking. From professions of love, divulging of fantasies and encouragement of your body's reactions to his ministrations, he will not be quiet. You'd have to gag him to get him to be quiet, not that he would complain too much as long as when you did take it off he could tell you how much he loves you. 

W= Wild card (random sincannon of any sort)

If you are sucking his cock and he cums in your mouth, kiss him with it still being in there. It sends him feral and gets him hard again in an instant. 

X= X-ray (what’s down below in dem pants)

A fair bit about average even for an Elezen, I'd say about 11 inches. His girth is just right that you have the burn of being stretched whenever he first enters you. 

He keeps his pubic hair trimmed and has a thin happy trail up to his belly button. 

Y= Yearning (sexdrive level)

Most of the things that come out of this man's mouth are propositions towards you. With you always on his mind, he can’t help but to yearn for you; from the minute he wakes, till moments before he sleeps, he yearns for you, mind, body and soul. Z= Zzzz (do they sleep after if so how quickly after)

He tends to get more excitable after fucking you, the adrenaline and thoughts of you just get him going. Of course after enough rounds he can be fucked out, but you’ll probably be tapping out before him. 

(Somnophilia is absolutely on the table as long as it’s discussed and consented to; giving or receiving)

(playing this game has given me the gift of so many attractive characters help)

[lilacs-and-lavenders]

I'd say one of Arielle's biggest character flaws is that she is fiercely independent and refuses to accept any help. Because of bad experiences with people in the past, she does just about everything on her own and often tends to bite off more than she can chew. She refuses to rely on other people for things and doesn't want to burden people if she doesn't have to even if she is overwhelmed with work. Most times she won't even ask her own wife for help which Khorchi reprimands her for. Because of her being so used to doing things on her own, she finds it difficult to openly communicate her need for assistance. Thus, she doesn't.
