I forgot I could post this now! I drew this for You Are Not Alone, an FF9 Zine.

I love these two so much, i had to make a cheesy romance novel cover.

MY COMMISSIONS INFO

[firstknightvulion]

This was the romance. I am not taking criticism, constructive or otherwise.

Also, you think Garnet ever called Steiner or Beatrix dad or mom accidentally?

Garnet: Thanks, dad!

Steiner: *shocked silence*

Garnet: I mean…

Steiner: *eyes watering and lips quivering*

Garnet: No! No! Do not cry! If you cry, I’ll cry! I just put on all this royal makeup! *turns to Beatrix* Mom, can you- *puts her hand over mouth as she realizes what she just said*

Beatrix: *is wide eyed for a moment but then smiles and sniffles*

They’re not the step parents, they’re the parents that stepped up

Steiner and Beatrix are the best couple in all Final Fantasy no contest.

I think I drew them in this exact pose before years ago, but I can't remember if I ever uploaded it.

So time to draw it again! Even though for some reason I apparently forgot how to draw arms tonight.

Edit: omg yeah here's the old one

(i’m not that far in so no spoilers please)

i also think it’s very cool how ff9 shows us the two different sides of being a knight with Beatrix and Steiner. Beatrix is aloof, unknowable, unimaginably powerful; the distance creates a mystique, and we see her the same way as the people who fear her (reinforced by her ohko’s the first time we fight). meanwhile Steiner is right in front of us being comical and inefficient, and basically illustrating how you can’t serve cunt and the government at the same time. but they are both, crucially, serving the same government, with the same conflict of personal and political loyalty.

Steiner is a comical figure to us because we know him and travel with him, and watch him fight travel-stained and weary, with his equipment rusted and in a shambles in the wilderness (making him fight undergeared to learn weapon skills). we also know from the first encounter that Steiner is very much the less successful knight, who gets the inferior jobs with unwilling subordinates. he is simply not a particularly glorious knight to us; we know him too well for that.

in contrast, we hear nothing but awe-inspiring tales of Beatrix before we see her, and then we meet her at the peak of her form, when she wipes the floor with us. that’s the side of her that’s real to us. and it’s very accurate in an objective sense; she is actually that powerful, and that loyal! but it is also the only way we see her, which distances her from the rusty, clanking, ponderous side of knighthood. the contrast is very real, and the storytelling heightens it beautifully.

the thing is that all these things that characterise them are also aspects of each other, just contextualised differently, seen from very different perspectives. that’s not to say the power differential isn’t real, of course; there’s simply no one like Beatrix. being a knight is a broad spectrum. but it’s also always about being a knight.

That’s kinda harsh… but I get it.

I skipped out on 4 and 5 because I hated what I drew for those two, however I did try to do Black Mages for Race and the Ark for Eidolon.

Anyways

Day 6: Summer • Relationship • Voyage

Iconic duo, iconic rivals-to-lovers. Need I say more?

Day 7: Melody • Memory • Future

I'm fairly certain Dagger would look at the little weapon that gave her the name [and she cut her hair with] and lament on it from time to time.
