i’ve seen a lot of posts about how canon your class is, but now i’m curious, how canon are your crafting disciplines? i’m always curious about who canonically does the crafting

What's the home life like now? Are the boys at a stage where they've started doing one another's laundry and they've got their wardrobes mixed up? Actually, thinking of. Does Kying end up having to wash Valefor's nasty bloodied up clothes?

To be honest, I haven't even thought about that yet. Do,... Charr even make Laundry?

But if someone would do the Laundry, it would be indeed Kying. Cuz Valefor would be a person who just throws his dirty clothe in the nearest water, stirs it a bit - maybe throws some soap on top of it and sees it as done. One last sniff if it's still smells and good,...

So it's up to Kying to do it the right way. But looks like he was too thorough. Wasn't Valefors Jacket red?,...

I have to admit,... Valefor in white looks nice:

Time to get it bloody - red again. Don't worry. It's not blood. It's really just a normal red jacket - dyed with red dye. Not red because of blood,... but can't deny that's some blood on the red jacket,... you just can't see it :X

Maybe that's why he likes to wear red,... mhm

you already know that the newest story is tickling my brain. you already KNOW i am foaming at the mouth.

an entity that feasts off of fear? an entity that plays deep into the psychological torment the commander has faced? to see the friends you’ve lost, to still feel their deaths hang on you like a shroud, so close yet so far, so warped and wrong and yet all the words they say ring true.

the commander, standing in a battlefield, technically not alone but feeling so utterly lonely. tired, exhausted, fighting and they don’t even know why anymore. their mentors were just scratching the surface.

trahearne, mangled, a shred of his former glory, being used in death yet again. 

blish, broken with bits of brand stuck to his body, blinking. a sacrifice to save the commander, in vain. 

imagine the entity forming Balthazar and the commander, too tired, too riddled with wounds that feel as though they’ll never heal, feel their chest sear. burning. heat making their head fuzzy and the sand choking their lungs. fighting but unseeing, blinded. fangs of magma snapping at their heels as they so desperately try to fight through it, get back to gorrik, rama, yao, anyone-

and yet, when theyre not on the battlefield, what’s left for them? alone, forgotten, a tool to be picked up and disposed of without second thought. 

is this where the commander gives up? with the last licks of violence they’ve committed against their friends? beneath ground, a smog of haze clouding their vision and their mind. tormented by the people they couldn’t save, should have saved. buried alive with not one of the people they wish for the most coming to save them. finally becoming a puppet for a monster, after they’ve spent so long trying not to become one.

COMMISSION ALERT!!

For one outfit or license I can do something like this:

[guildwarsgirl]

Vanessa, reading a recipe: Beat three eggs?

Rytlock: It means like in hand-to-hand combat.

Vanessa: Ohhhh-

Logan: Both of you get out of this kitchen.

Do they (or would they) pursue the other character’s affection, and if so, how? Do they tell the other character how they feel? Try to earn their admiration? Woo them with romantic gestures? Flirt with them, skillfully or otherwise?

This will have spoilers for my comic/script series. That can be followed here.

Wolfram:

For most of the events of FFXIV Wolf was actively trying to NOT pursue Raubahn romantically because 1) He didn't think his ex could possibly love him back. 2) He didn't want to risk the voidsent within him hurting Rau. The voice in his head had often become louder anytime he actually thought of pursuing anything that could make him happy. Until the SB patches, he didn't even realize Rau had feelings for him too. (Lots of self-gaslighting.)

Despite that he often justified calling Rau's linkpearl, checking up on him, and planning outings/adventures for the two as "just having fun with an old friend."

During SB and ShB Raubahn is upset with him (he deserved it) and wouldn't even acknowledge him outside of work, so Wolf didn't have the opportunity to make amends. He tried calling his linkshell or sending him mail. Even sent a basket of coffee biscuits! Eventually, he cornered the commander after a war meeting. So uh ... I guess that's an example of pursuit? 😂

Most of his concerns were resolved in EW, a bit after Vanaspati. So while he was obviously focused on saving the world, Wolf did call Raubahn on his linkpearl when he could just to ask him about his day and how he was feeling given everything going on. Conversations occasionally got a bit flirty, but mostly he just wanted Rau to know that despite everything he was still thinking about him and cared about his well-being during the difficult time. After Wolf returned to Sharlayan he gave a big romantic speech about how he felt and they were married the next day.

Now that they're back together Wolfram is free to show his affection, so he enjoys finally getting to his charms on his husband. He's a shameless flirt and very good at it. 😂 Often he'll whisper something to Rau before he gives a speech just because he thinks it's cute when the Ala Mhigan commander is a bit flustered. Wolf isn't great at the usual romantic gestures like bringing flowers or chocolate, but he is an empath so he can usually sense if there is something his partner wants or if he needs cheering up. His go-to for showing affection is cooking Raubahn his favorite foods or sparring with the gladiator.

Raubahn:

From the ARR patches onward Raubahn knew he loved Wolfram. He was also pretty sure that Wolf was into him too. But he also knew him well enough that he figured he needed time to kind of get out of his own head about everything. Still, they called each other often and had *totally not dates* when possible. He did his best not to be flirty but it happened quite a bit anyway.

In SB he impulsively told Wolf how he felt. It didn't go well... In ShB they make amends but agree to be colleagues.

In EW Raubahn didn't join in Garlemald because Wolf would be there. He eventually changed his mind and decided the mission was too important. He was heading there in a spare flyer when Wolfram called his linkpearl in distress. So once he landed he headed right for the shack Wolf was hiding in, ignoring everyone else wondering why he was there. Wolfram was having a prolonged intense panic attack - triggered by Zenos's possession. Raubahn cursed himself for putting his feelings first and did his best to comfort Wolf. Once the mage calmed down he told Rau that the voidsent was gone. The commander did his best to hide his happiness, knowing that Wolf didn't need another distraction, but he did resolve to himself that they would get back together with that hurdle out of the way.

So for the rest of EW Rau sort of pursued Wolf from a respectful distance. 😂 He ended any casual relationships he was in. He started having his contacts in the thaumaturge guild research what could cause a voidsent to be forced out of a person unexpectedly like that. He didn't want to bother Wolf but did use a blasphemy in Ala Mhigo (that he could have handled himself) as an excuse to summon the Warrior of Light there because he had information he wanted to give him in person. While the news did cause Wolf to almost turn into a blasphemy himself, Rau talked him through the ordeal. He told Wolf how much he loved him and that he always would no matter what form their bond took. After the blasphemy aura left Wolfram, Raubahn comforted him and watched over him through the night. After that Rau started to become increasingly flirtatious (although he's more subtle than Wolf), calling the Warrior of Light's linkpearl at least once a day even though he himself was extremely busy too. When he learned of the journey the Scions would make to the end of the universe, he surprised Wolf by venturing to Sharlayan to see him off. Once the mage returned and confessed his feelings, Raubahn proposed (albeit horrible timing) and Wolf enthusiastically accepted. After they were wed Rau took about a month away from his position to take care of Wolf as he healed from his extreme aether sickness as a result of his sacrifice.

As far as showing affection, Raubahn is very good at big romantic gestures. Some examples - 1) Based on an odd thing Wolf said while recounting the night he was possessed by a voidsent and killed his family, Rau had his contacts in various city-states search for Wolfram's siblings. Eventually, he found them and helped his husband reunite with the brother and sister he thought he'd lost two decades ago. 2) For their first Valentione's Day he commissioned a special longsword with an aether focus pommel, allowing Wolfram to have a more versatile fighting style. 3) Knowing that being around so many voidsent could be difficult for Wolf, he asked Lyse to cover for him and went to the 13th with his husband. (Yeah, I still need to write that arc. It's wild.)

Highly disorganized but whenever i try to involve food in an EO fic i always start breaking down what exactly can be served while taking the timeline into account like FUCK, the timeline is post-apocalyptic so all kinds of shit existed but got wiped out and is slowly getting reinvented.

but according to one of these EO1U mangas, burgers hadn’t been rediscovered. & Frederika had to teach her guild what they were. There are sites that say burgers werent invented until the late 1800’s, but others say they really started as concepts as early as the 1100’s.

HOWEVER, according to an informative portrait commonly know as “Medic 2”, but oftentimes nicknamed as Mediko, candy bars also exist in the EO world which are also said to have been created in the 1800s. So maybe we’re cooking in the late 1800s equivalent.

but also Regina seems to have revived some of the more “modern” dishes (or just food you dont expect in a fantasy rpg unless it’s food-focused) with apicius’ recipes by using monster parts & ingredients grown in the labyrinth, so anything past eo2 is a sort of “you could probably translate any modern food into EO, as long as it’s made from labyrinth monsters/ingredients”. So maybe you cant say “burger” but you can say “war bison rye sandwich”. But ignoring EO2U for a second, according my brief research session I have learned that:

Crepes and burgers are, to my great joy, NOT out of the question for etrian odyssey characters to order from a shop. Restaurants in particular seemingly came around in the mid-to-late 1800s.

philly cheesesteaks are, to my great despair, out of the question as we know them, as those did not come to be until the mid 1900s. However, there is surely a combination of monsters & labyrinth ingredients that will achieve something similar before its time.

This was already known but, unfortunately, EO characters really cannot walk into a joint and say “I’LL HAVE TWO NUMBER 9s, A NUMBER 9 LARGE, A NUMBER 6 WITH EXTRA DIP, A NUMBER 7, TWO NUMBER 45s, ONE WITH CHEESE, AND A LARGE SODA”

unrelated to food but i always wondered what I was cooking when giving napier a cash register in OtL but now i’ve learned they existed in the late 1800s too.
