What do you think of this potential 4chan leak that Lucifer is the one responsible for the hierarchy and that Sloth, Gluttony and Lust are considered good sins? https://desuarchive.org/co/thread/145383112/#145394767
> Lucifer created the terrible hierarchy of Hell as well as the Deadly Sins. He is described as a moral neutral sin.
Well, neutral is far cutting it, remember he caused nearly everything to happen in Hell. He's described as sexy, when the only sexy thing about him is his depression. No one pointed out that Lucifer was at fault for all the things to begin with, but no people are like "B-B-B-B-BUT, we needed a story to kick off Charlie!" I feel like it's stupid, also, I am a depressed person and whenever a character who is depressed does something bad, they always have to empthize on the "UWU Depressed shit" which is shit you'd see on r/gachalifecringe or r/gachaclubcringe (Which I am a moderator on, and let me tell you, the Gacha side of the Hazbin Fandom is fucked up.). I feel like most don't care because they'd much rather ship RadioApple then point out the absolute fuckery that is Lucifer himself.
>The good sins are Asmodeus, Bee, and Belphegor. The bad sins are Satan, Leviathan, and Mammon. Beelzebub actively hates the hierarchy and how it treats her hellhounds, but there isn't anything she can do about it.
Okay, first off all the sins are bad, they cannot just pick and choose. For FUCKS sake, you know who her favorite is, the funny thing is, I like Mammon, he's cute and his design/accent are great (But nothing comes greater then Jeice), so she failed at making villains scary when all they are is extremely comical people who suck at villianing and suck at life.
> Leviathan is female and a fashion queen. Alot of Envy will be focused on fashion.
Paint me green and call me a fucking pickle, more backlash would be fucking impossible. Remind me what the fuck does Fashion have to do with Envy?
Sure, people can be envious of others looks, but that ISN'T the only thing possible to be envious of.
Tumblr media
This is Leviathan from my Universe, he's a victim of abuse from his father. (Who by the way died because of the effect he has on people, later on.)
According to Levi's official description on the Wikia:
Tumblr media
Leviathan isn't actually Envious, rather the curse he has causes anyone nearby of him close or not to get envious of him as a person which is the main reason why Agatha is acting out.
This would've been better, but complicated storylines and things pulled from TVTropes isn't what Viz likes. Yes, Leviathan is meant to be Stolas from HB but better, and yes, I DO VOICE LEVI.
So what's the issue with Levi liking fashion? Well, it's obvious that she needs another Diva because at this rate Velvette isn't enough, and most of the fuckers in the Pride Ring seems to be fitted for other rings too.
I feel like she's trying to assign something to these character's to make them unique, but they aren't.
Lucifer is literally the Sin of Pride, and the only thing prideful about him is his fruitiness, so add that to the level of "Bible things that Viv added" he's far from prideful, and that's a fact.
Coming from someone whose gay myself.
Mammon, oh sweet sweet Mammon, is just the Greedlr, but a Fat Nickado Avocado Characters, minus the screaming and fits. And aussie. Because "oooo people with accents arre baad"
Beezlebub, is just, well a Bee, because "HAHAH FUNNI BEE-ZLEBUB" she wanted to relieve her golden years of AMVs and Animation Meme-Esque content, also so she can brush hands with Kesha-Senpai. I swear to fuck, she asskisses alot.
And I am BARELY getting started.
> Stella is a decent mom to Octavia. She doesn't have many powers and isn't summoned to Earth like Stolas is.
If she's such a great Mom, you so claim she is, Viv, then why not show and NOT FUCKING TELL. All we see of her, is the way to make the audience feel bad for a [N word, black POC here. Don't wanna say it.] that ain't shit, Doja Cat was right, he ain't shit.
This is ridiculous, this was seen with Jeffy in SML, he was a hated character, Logan tried every trick in the book to get the audience to feel bad for him (I.E. Giving him an emotional manipulative mom, losing his sister, WITNESSING HIS LITTLE SISTER GETTING MOLESTED, etc etc) but the problem with making an auidence feel bad for the character, it gives a in character excuse to let them continue being pricks without any character development.
In conclusion:
More pointless rep that will be thrown out as soon as it appears
More things to hype up, but ultimately fumble the bag
It sucks

FFXIVwrite2024: Surrogate
A rare bit of non-WoLNero writing! Featuring Severia in early ARR.
686 words.
Tumblr media
“Severia! I feel like I haven’t seen you in an age!” Tataru exclaimed as the adventurer stepped through the doors fo the Waking Sands. “What have you been up to?”
“Ah,” Severia said somewhat sheepishly. “I’ve been keeping busy. Here and there.” To be quite honest, she’d needed a break after all the business with Ifrit and so she’d gone back to Gridania for a time and ended up joining the Botanist’s Guild. The next month she had spent wandering to various corners of the Shroud looking for medicinal plants and herbs. It had been just what she needed. But now she felt ready to face the work of the Scions again. 
“Well, I was just about to pour myself some tea so why don’t you join me for a cuppa and we can catch up on the news,” Tataru said brightly. By news, of course, she meant gossip. 
They settled in around Tataru’s table and the Lalafell secretary regaled Severia with a series of amusing workplace anecdotes. But eventually Tataru realized that Severia was barely participating in the conversation. She decided to try to draw the taciturn adventurer out. 
“So… you’ve been with us a little while now. What do you think?”
“Think?” Severia parroted mindlessly. 
“About our organization. About the members.”
“Oh,” Severia stopped to think. “After fighting Ifrit, I can see why the Scions are needed. All those poor people.” She shuddered. And she still couldn’t get the monster’s words out of her mind. 
Tataru nodded sympathetically. “It was a truly horrifying incident. The extent of the conspiracy… I’m not sure we’ve seen anything like it before. It may be there are hard days in store for the Scions. And we will need you.” Tararu placed a small hand on Severia’s arm and smiled encouragingly. 
The shocking revelations that had come in the wake of her defeat of the Primal had seemed to come one after another without cease. The fact that it was her so-called Echo that made her immune. Her Echo, the reason she had been recruited in the first place. Her Echo, making her fit to fight Primals. The road of her future as the Slayer of Primals had stretched out before her and she wasn’t sure that it was what she wanted. One thing had brought her back.
After she had made her report to Minfilia, when she and Thancred had turned to leave, Minfilia had stopped her for a moment. She had placed her hands on Severia’s shoulders and there had been tears in her eyes. “Thank the Mother,” Minfilia had said as she pulled Severia into a hug. “That you returned unscathed. I was so afraid.” Minfilia had held her for several seconds before letting Severia go and wiping the tears from her eyes with a self deprecating smile. 
When Severia told Tataru about it, Tataru nodded knowingly. “She had to put on a brave face in front of Thancred. He takes things too much to heart, that man. Blames himself at the slightest chance. Behind his back however, she could show you how she really felt.”
Perhaps more than anything that hug had taken Severia by surprise. Had anyone ever hugged her that way? Had there been a time when her mother, who she only remembered as a cold back, ever cared for her that much? 
Tataru continued without noticing Severia’s furrowed brows. “Minfilia really does view us all as family. She lost her own, you know. Most of us, in fact, either lost or left behind our families to do this work. Minfilia is like a surrogate mother for us all. She holds us together, keeps us doing good work. Course I help too. All of us do our part. We’re all truly happy to have you with us, you know. And not just for your talents.”
She looked up sharply. Tataru was too shrewd sometimes. Severia drank the last of her tea and stood up. “I’d best report to Minfilia.”
“Yes, go on. She’ll be thrilled to see you.” 
And as Severia looked at Tataru’s confidently smiling face, she realized that she believed it.

I Should Have Been There
Austin Butler x Reader
Summary: Y/n goes to a club with friends when all goes wrong.
Warnings: Sexual assault, sexual violence, mentions of blood, alcohol consumption. If I missed any, please let me know.
Word count: 1,335
I just realized my two most recent fics have been sad, don’t worry though, I have a bunch of fluffy/smutty fics in the works currently!
Tumblr media
I straightened out my blue velvet dress, it was my teenage dream dress. Dark blue, cowl neck, fitted dress. I slipped my Steve Madden heels on and walked out to the living room. “Oh just look at how beautiful you are.” Austin said as he stood up from the couch. “Thank you.” I said doing a twirl. “Only if you were my date tonight.” He said kissing my neck. Austin was always sad when girls night came up, he loved that I spent time with friends but of course he wanted to come too. “I’ll be back soon enough.” I said tilting my head. Just before we got a little too handsy with each other, Ashley knocked on the door. “I love you.” I blew a kiss to Austin as I walked out of the door. “Love you.” He mouthed. I never liked to drink much so I was designated driver. Me, Ashley and two other friends piled in my car and we headed off to the club.
The music was pounding through me once we got inside, it wasn’t much of my music taste either, Austin got me hooked on Elvis music. I decided to have one drink and then head out on the dance floor. “This is great!!” Sheridan said, she was already on her third drink. “Yesss!” Ashley yelled, she was on her second. I always had a more enjoyable time being sober, the room wasn’t spinning and I was wide awake. Unlike Becca, who was almost falling over on every step and was on her sixth drink.
“Ashley!” I yelled over the music. “Ashley!” I yelled again. She was trashed, but not as bad as Sheridan and Becca, they were almost passed out on the couches. I had to use the bathroom and then I’m getting them out of here. I tried to follow girl code and have someone come with me but that was no use, they were beyond drunk. I walked down the dimly lit hall and walked into the women’s restroom. After using the bathroom I washed my hands and tried to dry the sweat off of me with a paper towel. I threw the paper towel away and opened the door. Only before I could walk out two large hands pushed me back against the stall door and pushed his lips on mine. I fought, I kicked him and punched him but I was too small against his large size. He turned me around and pushed my head against the stall and tore my dress. I kicked and screamed as I heard him undo his belt buckle but he covered my mouth and slammed into me. The pain was excruciating and there was nothing I could do, I kept kicking and trying to hit him but soon enough he hit my head into the stall wall and I passed out cold.
When I woke up my friends were surrounding me as I laid on the bathroom floor. “Y/n, can you hear me?” Ashley asked. I tried to say yes but I was so hoarse I couldn’t. “We called an ambulance.” She said as she stroked my hair off of my sweat drenched face. I laid there trying to recall what happened, I didn’t want to though. Soon enough EMS arrived and brought a gurney into the bathroom, I let out a pained cry as they lifted me onto the gurney, the pain was horrible. “She hit her head.” Ashley said. They cover me in a blanket and rolled the gurney out to the ambulance, just as they were about to shut the doors, Austin jumped in the ambulance and immediately started stroking my hands and face. His eyes were red, he had been crying. “I got here as soon as I could, I drove 100 on the highway. I’m so sorry I couldn’t protect you.” He said as he let out a sob. “It’s ok.” I whispered hoarsely. “It’s not ok, I’m so sorry.” He said. I realized why he was sorry. I was raped. The same body that Austin worshipped was destroyed by a stranger. He broke me, someone I never met. I let out loud sobs as he held me against him. “I’m so sorry baby, I’m so sorry.” Austin said as he cried against me. We arrived at the hospital and they got me settled in a room in the ER.
A little later a male nurse came in the room. “Hi ma’am, I have a rape kit here and if you’d like we can collect samples to try to figure out who did this to you.” He said. I nodded. “Ok, I just need you to open your legs.” He said. I tensed up and Austin started stroking my hand. “Can a female nurse do it?” I asked. “I’ve done plenty of these before, I’ll be gentle.” He said. “I want another nurse to do it.” I said. “Ma’am-” “Get a female nurse.” Austin cut him off as he stood up, towering over the nurse. He nodded and left the room. “Thank you.” I said. “Of course.” He said kissing my forehead. “Hello Mrs. Butler.” The new nurse said as she walked in and washed her hands. “Hi.” I said. “I just need you to open your legs for me and we’ll collect all the samples we need. Let me know if anything is uncomfortable or painful.” She said.
After collecting the samples and doing a few more tests, they determined I had a concussion and sent me home. “Lets get you out of here, love.” Austin said. He helped me out of bed and carried me bridal style to the car since the pain was making it hard to walk.
When we arrived home he laid me in bed and went into the bathroom to start a warm shower. “Will you come in with me?” I asked when he came back into the bedroom. “Of course.” He said. He got down on his knees and helped me undress before undressing himself. I looked at my body in the mirror, I had dried blood all down the insides of my thighs and bruises littered my body as well as a black eye forming. Austin came up behind me and guided me to the shower. I sighed at the feeling of the warm water engulfing my body as I leaned against Austin. I hated that every time I looked down, the water going down the drain was bloody. He stroked my back and kissed my head, I felt him reach behind me and start rubbing shampoo into my hair. I sighed and leaned my face against Austins chest, breathing in his calming scent. “Is it alright if I wash your body off?” He asked, as he held my loofa full of suds. “Okay.” I said. He gently rubbed the loofa over my shoulders, breasts, back and stomach, he got down on his knees and cleaned the rest of the dried blood off of my thighs. “Do you feel okay?” He asked as he stood up. “Mhm, I’m sore but I feel okay.” I said. “Let me grab some towels.” He said as he got out of the shower. I didn’t want to be alone, I started thinking of the night again, I started hyperventilating and backed into the cold wall of the shower. Small sobs escaped my shaking body before I heard the water shut off. “Baby, it’s okay, I’m here.” Austin said. He was standing outside of the shower door with a towel around his waist and another towel in his hands, I slowly approached him and he wrapped the towel around my shaking frame.
After we dried off, and put our pajamas on we got into bed. “I don’t know if I can sleep.” I whispered as I laid in his arms. “Take a deep breath.” He whispered. He started singing “If I Can Dream” by Elvis Presley in a whispered voice. I sighed into his chest and sleep finally reached me.

With the advent of the benchmark and the information that's given us in way of textures, models, and materials: This is going to be the final experiment with this specific body texture before Dawntrail. If I can help it I'm going to be directing my efforts to making a new texture entirely, hopefully one that's completely custom made.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Fullbody + Kinda shitty closeup under cut lol (also very scattered and chaotic exposition)
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
So why this design? Well the short answer is that Seiei is a monster/demon. Even in early drafts of her lore she fell to corruption and had her entire being changed irrevocably.
The long answer is given both the nature of her being, her past, and the area she lived in I wanted to try and draw upon specific themes she has when designing this more beastial form to get a more truly finalized picture of this character.
The biggest themes being Corvids, Emotions (namely rage), Tengu, and the final player that spurred the decision to add scales: Alatreon (yes, from monster hunter). Going in reverse order to explain starting with Alatreon; it was the final piece of the puzzle as every aspect of it fits Seiei nearly to a T with a short blurb of it stating: "Known as a symbol of destruction, people fear even uttering its name. It’s rumored to control all of the elements, but most, if not all, records of its existence have been burned." Going hand in hand with much of what is stated in this writing I posted a while ago. This on top of the fact that when fighting, Alatreon is inherently chaotic and easily enraged, much like Seiei.//
Given the area that Seiei is from—that being Doma—Tengu seemed to fit the bill as well. The decision to include this only reinforced by Swallows Compass.
There is significantly more to unpack here than with Alatreon as well as some still loose ends but the main reasons Tengu play into her design are because they are often depicted as yokai, sometimes even 'evil spirits.' In art and media they are portrayed very commonly with avian characteristics which ties into the whole Corvid thing. I could very well argue that the evolution from Corvids to Tengu is due to her corruption twisting that aspect of her into something monstrous. Oh and the big nose...
But more than that there, are a few stories that portray Tengu as legendary martialists that can employ extremely powerful and dangerous magics, which Seiei has in the form of her prior kenjutsu training and "black smoke". And yes, keeping with typical depictions, she does also have a feather fan, but I'm not sure I've really ever posted her with it.//
Emotions, specifically rage, was the baseline theming for her when I was drafting up her original lore (that needs heavy refinement now but I'll worry about that later). As one might guess this also hooks into 'Dynamis'. You see; Seiei was created shortly after I'd finished Endwalkers MSQ and the idea of "Dynamis" was still fresh in my head. Specifically it's observed ability to spiral out of control (much like real emotion) and create horrid abominations that the people of etheirys do not understand (Much like how rage causes people to do things they otherwise wouldn't with no sound logic behind it).
I'd never been invested in FF's magic system until this point either as it seemed very straight forward and bland to me even with astral and umbral alignments. But with the introduction of Dynamis as the sort of 'antithesis' to Aether I was locked in. My mind had interpreted it as a sort of matter vs anti-matter type of deal given that where one is abundant the other is near absent and they do not generally play well together, so naturally I wanted to try and explore that avenue more.
It was difficult trying to figure out how to get a character to reasonably function with Dynamis at first, especially with her lore being from pre-arr. However, if you know about "The Burn" and it's alleged lack of Aether, one needn't stretch very far to see how Dynamis could have affected Seiei. Or really any character from Othard. I'd love to do a real deep-dive into this at some point but for now you get my very scattered and very raw exposition.
As a sorta related aside, this was all thought up during a very difficult time in my life. So in a way this character started out as 'vent art' to release pent up emotion.//
Anyone who's been around a while knows Seiei's original last name was 'Warcrow'. When I'd made the character at first this had literally zero meaning outside of "I like bird :) " but as time went on I started to see where it could fit.
Without going into an insane amount of detail though because I'm sleepy: The crow motif is more closely tied to her adoptive father (The bunny man) who was exceptionally clever and tricky much like crows are. However, when he had passed our Seiei inherited much of what made him who he was and subsequently twisted it (cannot emphasis enough how much I love corruption). As a result for our Seiei, the meaning of crows is no longer relates to their intelligence or trickery but their more superstitious interpretations of approaching disaster and death. Also because I like the bird and it goes hand in hand with the Tengu thing lol.//

Obviously XIV gives us a point of reference for character clothing through the use of glamours. However, beyond that, how does your character dress? Are their fabrics they prefer (cotton over wool, satin, silk, etc), do they tailor their clothes a certain way or do they tend to dress in certain colours? Is fashion and clothing something they care about, or is it more for function? Do they know how to repair their clothes if they get holes? What about things like shoes and accessories?
Thanks for the question! I love answering stuff like this about Mina and Theia!
General:
It ultimately depends on where she is. She grew up in Garlemald so she is most likely wearing lighter clothing than everyone else weather wise, but she's also rather insistent on wearing some sort of armour where she can.
Cotton wouldn't have been part of her standard clothing before she was twenty, since it is not good for cold weather, wool was probably something she wore often under her armour and jackets.
When she ended up in Eorzea she had the nightmare of adapting to hot and temperate weather and often wore as light clothing as she could safely get away with.
In her adventures she is always wearing some form of light armour, likely leather or cermet plate (this is a real material used in body armour!) once Cid is able to get it imported/recovered, enough to protect her from basic injury but not too heavy she can't move freely.
Places she can't or doesn't need armour:
She does have a soft spot for dresses, they're usually too impractical for her to wear though. The softer the material the happier she is, because she likes to pet it, so velvet and silk are her favourite indulgences that she rarely allows herself to have. Usually these fabrics are saved for state events she's been forced to go to due to Scion business.
Shoes: a good pair of leather boots are her favorite, something made to fit her foot and able to withstand a lot of travel and be comfortable. If it has a sole that is grippy for uneven terrain and support for her ankles, she's pretty happy. Think a construction work boot.
Accessories and little things about her:
She always wears a flower clip in her hair, she knows it's impractical, but her hair is one of the few indulgences she lets herself keep.
She also likes braids and plaits and learned how to do them. The gyr abanian plait was her standard hair style up until recently, briefly used Lyse's hair style and settled on Durante's going forward. She also dyes the blond parts of her hair green since arriving in Eorzea, much to a certain character's irritation later.
She always wears a single earring in places where it's warm, she removed them and most jewelry when she journeyed to cold regions such as Coerthas and Garlemald, to prevent frostbite. After Heavensward she wears a ring on her ring finger, the one she would have received from Haurchefant if things had gone differently and a necklace with two small crystals, a dark aspected one from Lahabrea and a ice aspected one from Ysayle. She also has a ring on that necklace after Shadowbringers from Emet-selch, which was something she had made him as Azem.
Can she fix her own clothes? Yes, it may not look fantastic on the inside, but it will be fully functional. She did get better at it from pre-ARR to Endwalker, Tataru got annoyed and sat her down and made her learn proper mending.
Colours: Mostly shades of green where she can. She has a few outfits in blue and reds, but she primarily wears green where she can. Tataru once again said she couldn't have every item be green and started making her wear other colours.

ok so fuuta playing final fantasy online [with you?] how would it go
THANK YOUUU FOR ASKING THIS BECAUSE I’VE THOUGHT ABOUT IT A LOT. NATURALLY. 💛💛💛
at first i thought she’d probably think mmos were stupid (she ridicules things she considers wastes of time & money, and they would probably fall into those categories for her) and not engage with them at all.
but THEN i considered…. she really struggles to fit in & find community in real life. so i think the concept of “massive online world where you can play as your ideal fictional self/a beloved hero” would very very much appeal to her. so maybe she’d begrudgingly give it a try, get invested, and then ridicule herself because “dammit how did this happen to me now I’M the stupid mmo player.” it would probably be a secret interest of hers because she’d be embarrassed about it. <3
if he lived IN the xiv universe he would be a dunesfolk lala.fell paladin (i know this because i know this <3.) but PLAYING it….. i think he’d play a x.aela. a x.aela girl specifically, and in his MIND he’d be like “i’m just playing a girl character because i find her attractive .” but in REALITY it’d be because transgender. <333 :) i really wanna say she’d pick h.alone as her patron but the other option would be a.zeyma for the fire… she’s fire…
she would definitely WANT to play a tank class. she wants to be a leader. so she’d probably choose gladiator at the beginning. but then i think she would end up finding it stressful when she gets to actual multiplayer content so she switches to maining a dps class HFNKSND. <3 she LIKES attention but not JUDGMENTAL attention so i could easily see her getting way too nervous about it fknzjfkz. <33
there are some dps classes i’m not suuuper familiar with so i’m not 100% sure what her favorites would be exactly… but she wouldn’t like phys ranged (feels too easy to her). i haven’t touched samurai at all but from what i know it sounds like something she’d like…?? melee, strict rotation, selfish dps, cool sword? yes? sounds like her. i think she’d like red mage too because she’d find the rotation btwn melee/ranged casting engaging, and she’d like having healing/rez skills because it makes her feel important hehe. <3 she would PICK UP black mage because it has the most dps potential and she’d like the idea of that. but then she’d get annoyed at the cast times and drop it HAHA. <33
she wouldn’t like arr because it’s boring and predictable, but also. she does like cool hero moments. she would find some of it cool (r.hitahtyn fight, ultima weapon. she’d hear “the maker’s ruin” and go “…damn this is kind of sick. *adds to playlist*” (<-little does she know this is the moment it would be over for her)). <3
she would like heavens.ward bc that’s when the writing & gameplay starts getting more interesting :) <3 SHE WOULD HAVE A CRUSH ON Y.SAYLE. THANKS. she’d probablyy like storm.blood. she’d think z.enos is cool but also annoying. AND SHE’D LIKE YOTSUYUUU… she’d be entirely into the game at this point but also annoyed at having spent so much time in it HAHA <33
and then ok listen shadow.bringers and end.walker would change her ok. she’s NOT getting out of this unscathed she’s going to have a shb poster on her wall by the end of this HEHEHFKD. okay BECAUSE they’re both like “you’re the cool awesome hero everyone is relying on and you’re very important and everyone is cheering you on. and also you are not alone and everyone is struggling with things as deeply as you are. and people care about you even when you’re not a hero and you’re just yourself and you don’t have to act stronger than you are all the time.” and fnskdDJ I JUST THINK F.UUTA WOULD CONNECT VERY DEEPLY TO THE WOL AND WOULD END UP CARING VERY DEEPLY ABOUT HER CHARACTER AND CONNECT HER TO HERSELF AND. YOU GET IT!!!!??! HERO EMOTIONS!!!!!!!!!!/!!
ANYWAY trying to think of who her favorite scion would be……. i’m tempted to say es.tinien. because she’d be a heavens.ward fan and she’d think he’s cool. he’d also think y.shtola is really cool esp. in shb/ew (and probably have a crush on her too HFKND) <3. and y’knowww. raha would probably be one of his favorites but he prefers him as the exarch (because he’s embarrassed about liking the silly catboy that much. he liked when he was a mysterious ruler EHFKDN) <33.
her favorite dungeons……. the aetherochemical research facility (she likes the difficulty spike in the last boss), baelsar’s wall (same reason), ghimlyt dark (it’s cool, some challenging mechs <3), holminster switch (“…damn this is sick *adds “to fire and sword” to playlist*” HAHA <3), amaurot (SHE IS SO INTO THIS), the twinning (probably her favorite to get in high-lvl roulette), lunar subterrane (she would be soooo into g.olbez’s & d.urante’s story are you kidding). <3
SHE’S DEFINITELY UM. THE TYPE OF PERSON TO BE RLLY INTO LEARNING THE MECHS OF CONTENT. AND SHE LIKES EXPLAINING THE CHALLENGING ONES TO FIRST-TIMERS BC IT MAKES HER FEEL COOL AND HELPFUL… she’d jump the gun and be like “lol well everyone always gets this part wrong. i’ll explain it to them before we get there” and when it turns out they all already know she’s like SHIT. HUMILIATING. (source: i do this sometimes)
she’s probably more critical of others’ mistakes at the beginning but mellows out eventually as she learns she just wants to help & is just excited to share info about the game as she starts to really like it :). <3 and maybe she eventually does make friends in-game. good ending. <3 xiv-player f.uuta is a good reality I KNOW THIS BECAUSE I KNOW THIS… <333

Twenty Questions for Fic Writers
I've been tagged by @pewterkat ! Thank you for tagging me! :D
How many works do you have on Ao3? Currently at 23! 22 for Final Fantasy XIV and 1 original work.
What's your total Ao3 word count? 182,581 at the moment! But I have thousands upon thousands more in WIPs that I should probably post at some point. lol
What fandoms do you write for? Mostly Final Fantasy XIV for the WoL x G'raha ship, but I'd love to publish some Karlach/Tav fics at some point for Baldur's Gate 3. (I have a high elf wizard that's in love with her.)
What are your top 5 fics by Kudos? 1. Heat - a heat fic. Pure smut. Very horny. 2. Delights - a collection of short kink fics. Also very horny. 3. Fantasies - a visual novel about sexual fantasies. 4. Here at Memory's End - the first wolgraha fic I've ever written. Slowburn love story from ARR to the end of Endwalker. 5. Reflections - A collection of shorter fics that fit in with Aedric & G'raha's story, as well as other MSQ characters. (Some of my best prose is in here, in my opinion!)
Do you reply to comments? I do! Sometimes it takes me several days/weeks/months, but I always try to. Sometimes social batteries are low and it takes me a bit, but I read and appreciate every single one, and go back and read comments all the time to feel loved.
What's the fic you wrote with the angstiest ending? My Lightwarden AU, Unrequited. It's a bad end to Shadowbringers in which Aedric turns into a Lightwarden. It's angsty, but also supreme monsterfucker. I went full-blast monsterfucker on this one. Still a favorite to this day.
What's the fic you wrote with the happiest ending? Hm. Most of them? lol. I am a romance/fluff/erotica writer. They all have happy endings.
Do you get hate on fics? Not really on fics themselves, but on social media. I just block though. *shrugs*
Do you write smut? If so, what kind? Oh honey. Yes. (That's an understatement.) I seem to specialize in "soft nerds who are into BDSM/kink". I love soft service dom/sub who learns to let go and enjoy. I love the desperately horny. I love the enthusiastic consent. I love soul mates who fuck each other as if every breath, every touch, every movement of body against body is proof that they are here. That they are together. That they are loved and safe. One of my favorite fics I've ever written is Verdancy, an introduction of sorts of Aedric & G'raha's dom/sub BDSM journey. Though the most on-brand quintessential Aedric & G'raha smut is definitely Bibliophilia, in which the two nerds fuck in a library.
Do you write crossovers? What's the craziest one you've ever written? I do not write crossovers, but I wouldn't be opposed to it! I'm not sure which crossover though lol
Have you ever had a fic stolen? Not to my knowledge.
Have you ever had a fic translated? Not to my knowledge, but I'd be 100% okay with it if I'm asked first!
Have you ever co-written a fic before? In a way? I have a small WIP with my friend (he doesn't have an XIV Tumblr, but he's on AO3 as Indasha) in which our two WoLs and G'raha are bound together as the three Fates. So a bit of a poly ship. (Gee, Aedric, how come you get two catboys? lol) My friends and I had a vaguely Greek Gods AU. If people want, I can post snippets and screenshots from it? Just send me an ask if interested, I guess haha
What's your all-time favorite ship? Seeing as how this is my XIV/writing blog, it's very obviously WoL x G'raha Tia. 🥺 They mean so much to me.
What's a WIP you want to finish, but doubt you ever will? I intend to finish every single of my WIPs, and I never consider them abandoned. Ever. Instead, I'll give a preview of what I'm currently working on, when I have time to write lately: - Vampire AU (we all know this lol) - A fic about shibari/bondage called Vermilion. G'raha ties Aedric up. G'raha POV. - His Inflorescence, part 2. I'm over halfway done.
What are your writing strengths? I think my strengths are showing moments of intimacy and vulnerability. People have told me I'm good at combining the horny with the soft, too.
What are your writing weaknesses? Writing scenes with more than two characters lol Also, dialog. I always feel like I'm horrible at it.
Thoughts on writing dialogue in another language for a fic? I speak French, but don't know where that would ever come up in my fics? (Maybe Ishgardian curse words lol)
First fandom you wrote for? Oh boy. When I was 17 years old, I wrote two fanfics for Axis Powers Hetalia. I liked Sweden/Finland. I'm no longer in that fandom, but they're still a very cute ship to me, even after 13 years.
Favorite fic you've ever written? While I love most of my fics, Hunger, my Vampire AU, is my favorite of all time for many reasons. It's the first fic in which I wrote an original plot that's not influenced by canon events at all. It's going to be the length of a novel, when finished, most likely. Once it's done, I may stick it back into the writing soup and let it simmer and see if an original novel comes out of it. Who knows.
If you read this far, consider yourself tagged! :D Especially if we are mutuals.

💖💖💖
Send me a 💖 and I will talk about a relationship / dynamic that I’d like for my Muse. || Accepting!
Tumblr media
You sent three so I'm being self-indulgent and listing three --!!!
I want an obsessive stalker fan for dancer troupe Meiko. Yes, this could also apply to WOL Meiko, but dancer troupe Meiko is more vulnerable because she doesn't have all the world experience that makes her more confident. It can start out as something innocent, or maybe even through anonymous fan mail, and then it can escalate over time. Maybe they even become friends and she has no idea that they are the obsessive stalker? How would people in this sort of setting even deal with such a thing???
A little less developed of an idea, mainly because it'd depend on the other muse, but I'm a sucker for bard x dancer. Maybe Troupe Falsiam gets another instrumentalist, or they're a rival performer who keeps popping up at the same venues? Depending on their personality, Meiko will either want to crush them or more reluctantly compete, more pushed on by Nashmeira's competitiveness than anything.
I know Meiko is easy to adore, but I really would like a muse who doesn't like her off the bat. The default fit for this would be Heavensward Estinien, who (in my hc) doesn't see much value in a half-naked dancing rabbit woman joining the group when the Warrior of Light is like, right there. Of course, their friendship/mutual respect grows, now they're best buds and she playfully tells him to put away his tits and calls him a slut. It's great! Similarly, someone who's irritated by Meiko's timidness at the start of ARR and/or has no patience for her. Kind of like Esteem/Fray at the start, except not willing to put in the time to 'help' or 'encourage' her. Just -- ffs, you're off to the Gold Saucer again? Do you do anything else but get drunk? Sadly most people don't want to play 'bully' type characters, and being mean really requires you to walk the line of just being an outright dick versus being strategically antagonistic. If you come out of left field cursing Meiko out, it isn't fun and I won't reply. These sort of interactions REALLY have to be properly plotted to prevent me from getting defensive of my baby; i.e I guide you on the insults that are 'fair game', etc.

Character meme: Thancred
Give me a character and I’ll break them down:
Tumblr media
This got long cuz I tend to ramble about this dude.
How I feel about this character:
This utter absolute godsdamned bastard of a man. How dare he.
When I really got into FFXIV finally (after only dabbling for a bit), the age gap of his listed 32 and my RL age at the time put the same distance as me and my own younger brother, and that is where Thancred fits. I was FINE with him as a total bro, as the local disaster, similar to a younger sibling I am both fond of and exasperated by. He has a lot of backstory, character development, and changes, even before Shadowbringers really brings his various issues and working through them to the foreground. I love snarky, sarcastic characters, using that to cover their pain and issues. Highly competent but still so full of doubts. Acting out middle child of the core Scions family (now the elder brother figure with Papalymo gone and his own sense of responsibility kicking in in healthier ways).
There's a lot there, and he hits a lot of character tropes I like as a writer and reader both. So for 2 full playthroughs, he was a colleague, a companion, a pal, a bro.
Now. Now when I make a fic writing WoL based off the lady midlander CGI model, now when I decide to make an ace WoL who won't get shipped with anyone cuz we so rarely see that, now when I decide to roll Aeryn through the MSQ and got to meeting the Scions and Ifrit's quest...
Sigh. Here we are, 3+ years and counting, and "Shippy Nonsense" has completely taken over my FFXIV posting and it's all that Damn Rogue's fault. I blame his bonus to sneak attack vs a WoL's smallclothes. I know he took that feat.
He’s still my bro that I am going to tease affectionately while my character swoons, but I am going to be amusedly grumbly about it forever.
(Also I still think his ARR model is Generic Anime Protag #3547 and isn’t all that visually interesting. I like bits and pieces of the HW mountain hobo look. I think his ShB model is better at showing his experience and personality, but still wish there were some adjustments.)
All the people I ship romantically with this character
Fellow Wolcred ships. I love you all. Also it just makes “sense” to me to ship WoL with a Scion over most other NPCs, and Thancred is definitely the default nice handsome male romance option like what one gets at the beginning of a Bioware game (looking at you, Carth, Kaiden, Alistair...). I just. y’know. Thought OC/NPC shipping was for other people, not me.
I have a soft spot for occasional Y'shtola/Thancred and Urianger/Thancred. I feel like he’s a person who’d only open to true romantic relationships with people he’s known and trusted for awhile, because of his own doubts and issues.
He’s totally a Bi disaster though; a lean toward women, perhaps, but certain dudes’ll turn his head.
My non-romantic OTP for this character
Thancred & Minfilia for the found family brother-sister trope.
Thancred & Ryne for the same, with father-daughter flavor instead.
Thancred & Urianger for the best bros back and forth.
Thancred & Y'shtola for the best bros in a different way. I also include here occasional side-along headcanons for a FWB situation for them, safe comfort and release--especially after the Lifestream--but without romance; their love is platonic.
(I can’t quite see Urianger doing a casual FWB in the same way tho, he doesn’t strike me as the type; it’s all or nothing there.)
My unpopular opinion about this character
How I see the "temporary eye injury." How he likely wasn't as much of a slut as assumed--while he got plenty, he also used the flirting as a cover a lot (esp given how he drops the flirty demeanor entirely post-Antitower). How he likely wasn't as much of a drunkard in ARR patches as assumed, either; getting blackout drunk makes little sense when the issue was loss of control thanks to possession.
I also think many of the people who think it would have been “fitting” (or just wished for) him to die at the Trolley RP Duty in ShB missed some of the point of Shadowbringers’ overarching themes. ShB could certainly be dark at times, but overall was a story of hope and the differences between remembering the past versus being held captive by it, and the bonds between people. If it were a more tragic story with more pessimistic themes, then yes; Thancred dying then to protect Ryne with their issues unresolved would have been (heartbreaking but) fitting. However, that’s not the story being told; it’s him using that battle as catharsis to beat at his own issues and realize he really had repeated his original mistakes. To make his peace with Minfilia’s loss and then, in the end, work things through with Ryne and be the man he should have been for her.
Ryne gets the fairy tale ending of having her parental figure that she feared resented her tell her he was sorry and fix himself for her.
One thing I wish would happen / had happened with this character in canon.
We should have seen more of his and Minfilia’s found family relationship in game. There wasn’t a lot of room for it in 2.0, it could have been in the 2.x patches a bit more, but a lot about their relationship is described after she’s already gone.
Ran’jit was Thancred’s kill. There is no way that was originally written with the General porting out last second just for the WoL to suddenly be able to defeat his plot armor. The Trolley RP Duty has the foil character set up, the “last special bullet,” and the player is controlling Thancred at the time. It makes no narrative sense and stinks of executive meddling out of some fear the players would feel cheated by not having it be WoL who defeats Ran’jit, but it’s a serious misstep in the story. We could have, should have, fought suped-up Jongleurs as the speed bump boss to Vauthry, as those characters also were woefully underused.
I’m also hoping for more personal Scion history as we get to Old Sharlayan; while most of the older Scions are from or were educated in the Dravanian Colony, being around the culture and people again shall surely give us more information as to their academic backgrounds.
And we all always need more nutkin interactions and shenanigans.

The Promise
Pairing - Bucky Barnes/Desi! Female reader
Warning - Angst, sad ending, more angst
Summary - Bucky Barnes broke one promise that meant the most to Y/N
Word count - 1.5K
A/N - This is my first ever fanfic, I am very anxious so please be gentle with me :) This was created purely to make y'all cry lol. This is a songfic of "Lag ja gale" of Lata Mangeshkar ji. I absolutely adore that song and found it quite fit for this story!!! Also English isn't my first language and there might be grammatical mistakes. Thanks to @soradragon for beta reading this and helping me complete it, you are a blessing. Love you 💙 happy reading folks!
Tumblr media
It was  peaceful in Wakanda, a cool night had taken its place from the hot humid air of the day, the stars were shining bright and serenity hung in the air.  It was impossible to imagine what the next day would have in store for everyone. No one had a clue that tomorrow was the day that would change everyone's lives forever.
There was the sound of soft humming coming from the modest hut which housed the one and only the White Wolf and his lover.
Inside was you, singing songs softly in your mother’s tongue before the two would go to bed for the night. It was a nightly ritual the two of you shared. For Bucky had found your voice so soothing it would chase away the recurring nightmares that would haunt his sleep every night. Bucky Barnes was unable to sleep without his love in his arms, without her angelic voice singing for him, and without her soft hand weaving through his hair. 
You had an awful day today, throughout the day you felt anxious and restless. As if your mind has been screaming at you that something bad was about to transpire. You had no idea what, but it was bad. if there is one thing you hated most, it would be not knowing what will happen next.
You liked being prepared for everything! Your distressed state made you itch for your ma's presence and her wise words. So the next best thing to feel like she was there was to sing your ma's favourite song. It was a song you had  beautiful emotional memories attached to.
Lata ji's masterpiece ‘Lag ja gale’. The song that always left you peaceful.
"What's on your mind, chaand? No cheesy love songs today?" Bucky teased lightly, slightly puzzled by the song choice. Normally, you would sing more happy, sweet love songs when you were in a good mood, not to forget how out of character you acted the entire day. 
"Acha? You said you don't like my cheesy songs na, so I thought today I will comply with your wish and not sing my ‘overly romantic, Shona Babu songs.’”  You shot back, poking your tongue out as not to worry him. Bucky pouted slightly.
"Arre baba okay now don't pout, I was just joking. I will sing the cheesy songs again tomorrow, right now this song just feels right to me.” Hearing that, Bucky mumbled a quiet yes and snuggled deeper into you, holding you tightly and moving his head ever so slightly to listen to your voice.  
Lag Ja Gale Ki Phir Ye Hasin Raat Ho Na Ho
Shaayad Phir Is Janam Men Mulaaqaat Ho Na Ho
Lag Jaa Gale Ae Ae… (Embrace me, dear, who knows whether or not this beautiful night will ever come again. Maybe in this life we may or may not meet again)
You remember the first time you met Bucky, in Shuri's lab. You were a   good friend of Shuri. You were a researcher staying in Wakanda with T'challa's permission and eventually befriended the Princess. The two of you loved to talk about anything and nothing. One day Shuri told you about the Winter soldier staying here in Wakanda. You had heard many things about him, but never had you seen him in the flesh. Till you saw him come into the lab, bruised and eyes swiming full of emotions, but the distraught was the most clear in those blue piercing eyes.
It was at that moment that you had decided you would help him, and try to soothe the aches and scars that had been covering his fragile heart. He was put in the cryo soon after your first encounter, but you couldn't help but think about him often.
Ham Ko Mili Hain Aaj Ye, Ghadiyaan Nasib Se
Ji Bhar Ke Dekh Lijiye, Ham Ko Qarib Se
Phir Aap Ke Nasib Men, Ye Baat Ho Na Ho (I have been given today, this time by destiny. To your hearts content see me closely, who knows, if your destiny, may present this situation again.)
Six months later, Bucky came out of the cryo and on his request, was given a small hut away from the palace in the fields. You often saw him, with his tiny herd of goats. You remember how one tiny goat - which Bucky had endearingly called Steve -  was the one who caused you to talk to Bucky. Maybe that's why he was still your favourite goat, afterall he was responsible for giving you the love of your life.
Shaayad Phir Is Janam Men Mulaaqaat Ho Na Ho
Lag Ja Gale Ki Phir Ye Hasin Raat Ho Na Ho (Maybe, in this life, we may or may not meet again. Embrace me dear for this beautiful night may not come again)
Your phone rang suddenly. Bucky moved his head from your lap as you moved to get the phone, it was your brother who was calling you. It puzzled you, it was nearly midnight in India. "Y/N….jaldi aaja yaha… ma aur papa ki car crash ho gayi...I am so sorry, hum unhe bacha nahi paye." You went numb...The words didn’t make sense, you couldn’t make sense of them... Ma papa? No, no this can't be happening. You...you just talked to your mom a few hours ago! Bucky’s arms wrapped around you, holding you so close. He whispered some words into your ear trying to soothe you. But you couldn’t hear them, your mind just kept repeating your brother’s words inside your head like a mantra. That’s when the tears fell, soaking Bucky’s shirt. You didn’t remember you screamed. 
Paas Aaiye Ki Ham Nahin Aaenge Baar-Baar
Baahen Gale Men Daal Ke Ham Ro Le Zaar-Zaar
Aankhon Se Phir Ye Pyaar Ki Barsaat Ho Na Ho (Come closer to me, as I will not be able to come to you every time. Put your arms around me and let us cry our hearts out. Who knows, if our eyes will ever see these tears of love again.)
You couldn’t imagine what you would be without Bucky, your Bucky. He was your rock, You couldn't live a day without him. From the day you confessed your love for each other till today, not a day has gone where he wasn't showering you with love. Even through all his trauma and pain, he did his absolute best to be there for you, his sweet, sweet Y/N.
Shaayad Phir Is Janam Men Mulaaqaat Ho Na Ho
Lag Ja Gale Ki Phir Ye Hassin Raat Ho Na Ho
Shaayad Phir Is Janam Men Mulaaqaat Ho Na Ho
Lag Ja Gale Ki Phir Ye Hassin Raat Ho Na Ho (Maybe, in this life, we may or may not meet again. Embrace me dear for this beautiful night may not come again)
Remembering the past left you in an emotional mess, you didn't even realise when the waterworks started.
"Chaand? Hey, no shhh why are you crying? Is everything okay? Talk to me."
"Bucky?"
"Haan chaand?"
"Promise me that you will never leave me." You uttered in a broken whisper
"I promise."
Tumblr media
He broke that promise. Bucky Barnes broke his promise and left his chaand. It happened so fast, the Avengers fighting Thanos, and suddenly everyone turning into dust.
You felt helpless and scared, numb and cold. what was happening? Bucky had told you to not come out of the palace unless told. He didn't want you to be in harm's way. No, his Y/N was too precious, he can't risk it. You reluctantly agreed, but you weren't of much use on the battlefield anyway. You just hoped your love would return to you very soon.
Steve broke the news, and your whole world collapsed in front of your eyes.
"Steve, no..no it can't be... please tell me you are lying. This isn't the time to joke around! Where is he!?" you couldn't help but scream at him. All your dreams, hopes and future with Bucky shattered. He was gone, in just a snap.  It couldn’t be real, this was a sick joke. that had to be it. A sick joke…
But deep inside, you knew it was real. All of it was real. The world around you seemed to crumble, all of it came down, it was as if someone let a glass cup fall and it shattered in a million pieces. Unable to be put back together again…
Now you had no one, no mom and dad, no Bucky...He was your rock wasn't he? He wasn't supposed to go...
After a few days, Steve offered to take you to America with him. The least he could do for his pal was to make sure the girl who had his heart was taken care of. But you couldn't go, it was too painful. Brooklyn will always remind you of Bucky, and you promised him when the time came to go back to his home, you will go together. No, unlike him Y/N L/N knew how to keep her promise.
You went back to India, to start a new life. A miserable one. If only you would have known that the last song you’ve sung to him would come true. 
You never sang your mother's favourite song again

Nat why and how did you just made me fall in love with ur wol in like 1 ask omg I REALLY DO TRUST HIM WITH MY LIFE NOW, WILLINGLY, BUT I WOULDN'T BC HE DOESN'T DESERVE THAT MUCH PRESSURE AFTER GOING THROUGH THAT. Instead, let me offer him a hug and some tea, please. This is so well thought, and seriously you say you have to squint but it really isn't like that, you made up an incredible independent backstory that totally ties up with the MSQ without taking anything away from it. It's insane bc we don't get too much of the personal side of WOL esp before Endwalker so the way ur story just brings so much character to him is insane to me!! I adore it!! I would also like to say that Mia? That girl? She deserves the whole world. It's such sad story but it's somewhat so comforting how it seems like she found peace in someone that knew her struggles just like Ardbert knew hers!! I love how you also grabbed the main point of endwalker and just gave it so Cain! The whole idea of him trying to find his place and I cannot believe how surreal it must have been for him to fight Zenos specifically, after everything Mia has gone through! And you don't need to apologize about anything, don't worry about the wait!! It's so worth it so I wouldn't mind on u going full details lol if u have like anything else to talk abt personality whise or lil hcs you have about him, please do. You really made me so invested in that hard-working bunny!! The whole thing about Cain not fitting vs 'now u have someone's life with you but hey you still have to find ur own purpose dummy' - must've been just too hard. He deserves a rest. Excuse me if I'm asking too much hahah this might be a long ask but I feel like his bond with Ardbert and Mia is just literally soulmates thing, even Hydaelyn, but besides that, is anyone he shares just as important bond with? Any npc or oc you can like trust to give this man a hug every once in a while? I need to know!! And please my thoughts for my bunny is just not as well thought as yours, but if you don't mind that heh I can share some hcs I have for a backstory pre ARR that I have for her!! It's a bit of generic viera bg, but I just love fran a lot hahah again THANK U FOR THE CAIN INFO! He must be protected at all costs even if he can do that himself! Such precious soul, Azem really is just the best source ♡
Your messages are adding years to my lifespan, I think about them every day,,, thank you, honestly, it means so, so much to me.
You are asking a super good question, I was itching to talk about this actually, but didnt want to add three more pages to my previous answer hahaha.
I actually have a little story for you! I usually write for myself and my partner only, I havent really worked up the courage to publish anything so far, but I really wanted to share this one with you and so I posted it on ao3 :D link is right HERE. It is pretty sad, though, so I completely understand if you do not feel like reading, but if you want more context, it is there :)
Rest is under the read more once again.
Mia had a family of her own, her partners being Diabo, a Hrothgar merchant, and Mikh, a miqo'te rascal. I used to joke with my partner about their house basically just being a giant cat nest hahaha. Eventually, Arnaud Durendaire joins in, which is a ghost of an Ishgardian dragoon. Yes, it is pretty silly, but I always loved ghosts and have a tendency to make characters of various levels of cryptid energy and obviously had to continue said tradition in FF as well xD.
Diabo basically takes him for his own and so does the rest of the family, so he is practically their son. Arnie had a shit family to begin with, the only thing his parents cared for was his success to further the family prestige, and he himself knew nothing besides training and study, before dying too young at the claws of Dravanians. In a way, Arnie got a second chance at a somewhat normal life and family and friends that really love and care about him.
From NPCS, all Scions are like an extended family to Mia, closest relationship she had was with Yda and Papalymo, because they met each other first, as well as Minfilia. Y'Shtola was basically a sister to her, until they had a falling out during Shadowbringers, because Mia thought Shtola became too ruthless and didnt agree with how she talked to Ryne especially. They made up eventually, but the strain in the relationship was still there.
G'Raha is another sibling in all but name, their relationship being extremely close.
The twins are practically her kids. They have their own rooms in their house as well. But then again, the twins are every WOL's almost kids or siblings, arent they hahaha.
Zenos is a special case. Mia always felt drawn to him, despite being unable to figure out why. She wanted to understand him, help him, in a way. It was only after he killed himself that she realized the reason was because he and she were the same in a way, two sides of the same coin. All that power, yet Zenos had noone who tempered him. Noone who cared or tried to understand. Mia was fortunate to have so many loved ones around her, that helped guide her. In a way, she saw herself in him, saw a version of herself that never got to be loved. Only after he died did she realize how awfully alone she truly was, deep down. Because noone, no matter how much they tried, could fully understand the burden and inherent loneliness of her position, noone but him, or so she thought, at least.
When Cain comes to the scene, her original family is... well things are complicated, as one would expect. Diabo shut down, not really wanting to even look at Cain because it just reminds him of everything. Mikh takes it better, eventually finding her way back to him, because, in her words, "Cain smells like Mia did."
Scions take it... well, that depends, I guess. Thancred was one of the most suspicious ones, but after realizing it was true, he warmed up to Cain a lot. In a way, he went trough similiar stuff with Ryne and Minfilia, therefore it was easier for him to relate than the rest. Thancred also has the most guilt of not protecting Mia, of failing her. Urianger saw Thancred trust Cain and so he does too, slowly.
Shtola is the hardest to come around, despite being able to see that unmistakable hue of ember in Cain's soul.
Raha tries his damndest to be supportive, but it is extremely hard for him, because after EVERYTHING they went trough, after EVERYTHING he did, he still lost her again.
The twins take it hard, because it's like losing family, but they try their best to be supportive. Alphinaud does, especially.
It is in Garlemald that Cain meets a new character, an escaped Garlean test subject, a female Viera. She has no name, only thing she was called was Project Raziel, so after Cain asks her about it, he inquires if she would want a name and offers that he could think of one for her, because she herself doesnt really care.
He settles on Carrion, the name just coming to his lips. Carrie for short. Carrie is basically Zenos in a viera body, which is hilarious, in a way, because of his already extremely weird relationship with the man. (Having to fight him again with Mia's memories and feelings and feeling the same way about him, despite wanting to punch him in the face so bad).
So, in a way, the only person who gives him hugs is Mikh, for now at least, and we love her for it.

This is Mia before and after Shadowbringers. Her eye got injured in the Shinryu fight, and it completely lost color in SHB, along with her hair. She grew her hair back after she got rid of the light, slowly, but her eye stayed white.

House Isekai: A Realm Reborn - Part 3, Thunder Rolls (1 of ???)
House Isekai ARR Masterlist Here
Tumblr media
Client: Marianne Von Edmund
After Duvalie, Fireteam Alpha-Nine, and Raelyn set off to Goneril territory, the newly reformed House Isekai are sent to assist the head of House Edmund, Marianne.
Although, things do not go as smoothly as Sitri hopes...
[Out of Time - Final Fantasy XIV OST]
The room displayed massive crystals that showed reflections of the group.
Although it was heavily distorted and any normal person would be barely able to hear what was being said, the figure watching had no such difficulty.
(Buck) “Alright everyone, stand down. How about this? You just tell us what we need to know about these guys, and we’ll go put a few bullets in their heads.”
(Mickey) “If bullets even work on them-”
(Raelyn) “From the one I encountered, a single Bolter round will do just fine.”
(Lisa) “If it means less fighting, then there’s no harm. Duvalie dear, do be careful at least?”
(Duvalie) “O-Of course, Miss Lisa!”
(Aigis) “That was a very fast change in attitude-”
(Rean) “You get used to it.”
(Towa) “I suppose we’ll just meet and explain everything more in detail later?”
The figure raised its hand, engines whirring and steam coming out as it did.
A portal opened in front of the group to their first destination.
The one they called Duvalie was the first one to step through the portal, followed by the soldiers.
"FIRST TELEPORTATION SUCCESSFUL."
The figure slowly turned and a screen appeared in front of it, lines of text and numbers turning green.
(Kazuma) “…Wait a second, none of them knows anything about Fodlan. Why did we let them go anywhere alone?”
(Sitri) “…That’s a good question.”
When the text finished, a crystal behind it displaying a four legged being suddenly flashed off, the light dimming and turning dull.
"SECOND TELEPORTATION INITATING."
The figure opened another portal behind the other group and patiently waited for everyone to step through. As soon as they did, the portal closed behind them.
"OBSERVING."
The crystals picture suddenly split showing two sides, one of Duvalie's group, and one of House Isekai.
It said nothing else as it quietly watched.

House Isekai: A Realm Reborn - Part 3
Thunder Rolls
[Raise Your Flag - MAN WITH A MISSION]
Raise your flag
With all your voice
With all your voice
Shout it out loud with all your voice
One day
Someday somewhere
Dream on as we wander
Under pressure, you are waiting for direction
Going on the road without your mind
All misleads they give ignoring our decisions
Killing yourself your soul we have inside
Continue the struggle and feel like you’re discouraged
Rise up again to run to the end
In between the never-ending dream
We can struggle and muzzle the world before it fades away
Raise your flag
With all your voice
With all your voice
Shout it out loud with all your voice
One day
Someday somewhere
Believing that we will reach that goal
Come on and Raise your flag
So just Raise your flag
No matter how many times we feel defeated or lost
As long as we breathe
As long as we carry on
Dream on as we wander
===
Everyone was confused on why the portal closed.
Sitri made sure no one was looking at her as she whispered.
(Sitri) “Sothis?”
(Sothis) “Uh, don’t look at me. I wasn’t even the one who opened it.”
(Sitri) “Wait, then where did…?”
(Rean) "If I know anything about her, she'll be fine. I hope the others with her don't have to put up with too much..."
(Aigis) "In any case, we should get going as well, correct?"
(Kazuma) "Yeah, we've wasted enough time standing around as it is."
(Kurt) "I am quite interested in seeing what this world is like."
(Venti) "Indeed, perhaps it'll give me inspiration for new tales to tell at the tavern!"
(Jean) "Well, we shall defer leadership to you then."
Sitri realized Jean was looking at her, which was quickly followed by everyone else.
(Towa) "I guess you technically are the boss!"
(Elizabeth) "Well, Lady Sitri?"
Sitri cleared her throat and nodded.
(Sitri) "Right. Let's move out now then."
Right on cue, a portal opened in front of them, and all stepped through it, being teleported to forest with a beaten path.
As quickly as it appeared, it closed behind them.
Once again checking that no one was looking at her, she turned again.
(Sitri) "Sothis, who's opening these?"
(Sothis) "I'm not sure...We need to look into it once we're done here."
Venti and a few of the other Knights noticed Sitri and Sothis speaking quietly, though it appeared no one else did.
(Venti) "Hey, you see that floating green thing next to Sitri, right?"
(Amber) "Y-Yeah, it popped up earlier!"
(Diluc) "It's most likely similar to Paimon. We shouldn't bother her about this when we got more important matters."
(Lisa) "So, where are we?"
(Kairos) "This would be Alliance territory. Specifically House Edmund's, I've travelled these roads with my family for merchant related business."
(Rean) "Well then, do you mind leading the way?"
(Kairos) "...Of course."
Kairos walked along the path, guiding everyone else. Everyone travelled in their own smaller groups. Sitri was with the Garreg Mach Students, Rean and Towa were with Class VII, and Kazuma and Aigis were with the Knights of Favonius.
(Elizabeth) "I am not sure how I feel about this."
(Sitri) "About what?"
(Helena) "Pretty sure she means House Isekai."
(Elizabeth) "Well, it's not just THAT but...-"
(Kairos) "She means that we don't know how we feel about working with these offworlders."
(Astrid) "Hey come on, I'm sure we all have our doubts but at least give them a fair shot."
(Stefan) "Yeah, if Lady Sitri and our leaders trust them, its for a reason."
(Helena) "If nothing else, they know how to fight what we're up against better."
(Sitri) "You all were chosen for a reason. Your skills are the most exceptional of the three houses, and they will be a core part of this house in the days coming.
(Elizabeth) "Y-Yes, Lady Sitri."
(Kairos) "...Understood."
Aigis looked uneasy as she turned to the others.
(Aigis) "If this is how the current houses feel about House Isekai, I am concerned to think on how the rest of Fodlan thinks."
(Kazuma) "Yeah, people like Ainz and Slayer didn't really help our reputation much either.
(Amber) "But your old group saved this world, I thought everyone would adore you guys."
(Aigis) "It is not as simple as that, I'm afraid."
(Kazuma) "Long story, we'll tell you guys when we get back."
Kurt and Juna couldn't help but listen in on the conversation in front of them.
(Kurt) "Hmph. Were it so easy."
(Juna) "Instructor Rean, Towa?"
(Rean) "Huh? What is it?"
(Towa) "Yes?"
(Juna) "Just how bad were things when you guys interfered to be treated like this?"
(Rean) "..."
(Towa) "...Let's put it this way, none of us would be talking to each other right now."
Juna and the other Class VII members shrugged and continued walking. It'd probably be better to just focus on the mission right now.
A few hours later, they began to approach upon castle gates. They were stopped by Alliance soldiers, who shot a look at the ones obviously not from Fodlan.
(Sitri) "My name is Sitri Eisner of Garreg Mach. We have come here at the request of Lady Edmund."
(Alliance Soldier) "We appreciate the aid. Let them through."
Kairos was still in front while everyone else tagged along behind him. He slowed his walk to look around the estate.
The path to the main castle was well treaded, just as Kairos remembered. The dirt path was still a clean brown, and the grass and trees well maintained, with few servants attending them.
The path was not anything fancy, it was just a straight path to the estate, fitting Marianne's personality.
(Kairos) "It's been years since I've last been here."
(Helena) "Can't say my old team got anywhere close to here. Too much security."
(Astrid) "Your parents were merchants, right?"
(Kairos) "Yes. The noble families that didn't shun us for being commoners were few, and Lady Edmund was one of them, and we constantly made runs to sell our wares here."
(Kazuma) "Sounds like something Marianne wouldn't care about. She was probably one of the few people who wasn't a complete asshole."
(Aigis) "There were plenty of people who were not...rude. Do you think you are misremembering?
(Kaeya) "Or perhaps were you the one, mister Kazuma?"
(Kazuma) "Hey, I didn't start most of the shit here!"
Kazuma spun around to Kaeya.
(Kazuma) "AND YOU CERTAINLY DON'T WANNA START SHIT WITH ME!"
Everyone except Diluc and Jean was fighting back a snicker. Venti failed to.
(Venti) "...Ehe."
(Kazuma) "SCUSE YOU, THE HELL DO YOU MEAN, 'EHE'?!"
(Musse) "He is quite loud isn't he?"
(Rean) "You kinda get used to it."
(Ash) "Really now?"
(Towa) "Believe us, there was much worse people to hold a normal conversation with."
At the doors, a familiar face was waiting to greet them.
Rean Towa, Aigis, and Kazuma smiled as they walked up together with Sitri and the Garreg Mach students.
[Musica Universalis - Final Fantasy XIV: Shadowbringers OST]
(Kairos) "Lady Edmund."
Kairos, Elizabeth and Stefan bowed.
(Helena) "Huh. Much younger than I thought."
(Astrid) "Hey...Oh crap you're a lord, u-um good evening my...lady?"
(Marianne) "Hah, there is no need to be so formal everyone. Especially since old friends are here."
Kairos raised an eyebrow until he realized who she was speaking to.
Marianne smiled at the former members of House Isekai.
(Rean) "Marianne!"
(Towa) "Hello, its so good to see you again!"
(Kazuma) "Yo. Been a bit."
(Aigis) "It is always a pleasure seeing an old member of the Golden Deer."
(Marianne) "The same can be said to you all. You are quite the sight for sore eyes."
Marianne turned to Sitri and the Garreg Mach students.
(Marianne) "I take it these are your new students, Sitri?"
(Sitri) "They are. They're quite...interesting to say the least."
(Marianne) "When you're dealing with House Isekai at all, it's going to be."
Marianne chuckled softly and stepped to the side, an arm extended to her door while the guards stepped aside.
(Marianne) "Please, come in. We have much to discuss."
Everyone walked inside, following Marianne deeper into her estate.
The Knights opened the doors to the dining hall, where everyone took a seat.
(Kazuma) "Huh, didn't think you'd have a place like this."
(Marianne) "Neither did I, if I am to be honest. At the very least, this oversized dining hall is seeing proper use."
(Rean) "Yeah, it does seem quite excessive, doesn't it?"
The former members continued to have a leisurely discussion, annoying Kairos and Elizabeth.
(Elizabeth) "Don't they realize who they're talking to? Why in the world are they so...casual?!"
(Kairos) "They ought to show some form of respect for her title!"
(Stefan) "Well, they knew her back when they were in the academy right? Makes sense why they're so informal."
(Helena) "That and Edmund said for you guys to pull the sticks out your asses anyway.
(Astrid) "Eloquent as always, Helena..."
The conversation finally ended when some glasses of water was brought out for everyone by the servants, in which Marianne cleared her throat.
[End Song]
(Marianne) "Sitri, I believe Claude told you what was troubling us."
Sitri nodded.
(Sitri) "Yes. I believe he said it was something about an unidentified object in the woods?"
(Marianne) "Yes. We have never gotten close enough to properly identify this threat, it has always turned hostile the moment we attempt and approach."
(Rean) "Has anyone been injured from these investigations?"
(Marianne) "Plenty of injuries, though thankfully none of them were lethal. They appeared to be warning shots more than anything."
(Aigis) "That rules out Shadows at least, they do not hesitate when it comes to killing humans..."
(Towa) "We don't have enough information, I guess we have to see it ourselves."
(Marianne) "I'll give you a map before you leave then."
(Kazuma) "Has there been any other strange incidents?"
(Marianne) "Hm...Other than reports of Separatist movements, there hasn't been too much."
(Kairos) "Separatists have been spotted all the way out here?!"
The offworlders turned to Kairos, looking confused.
(Rean) "Separatists?"
(Kairos) "Yes, thanks to your actions, you've all but ensured a second civil war will occur!"
The original four members eyes widened, then turned to Marianne.
(Marianne) "I'm...afraid that is not entirely off basis, but that being said-"
She furrowed her brows as her fist gently hit the table.
(Marianne) "Kairos, on what grounds do you think you can speak that way to the very people who saved all of us?!"
(Kairos) !!! "I-...I apologize. That was out of line."
(Marianne) "...No matter. I will gather the necessary supplies for your investigation. Just a moment."
Marianne bowed and left the room, leaving just House Isekai in the room.
Sitri turned to Kairos and the other Garreg Mach students, clenching her fist.
(Sitri) "I am quite aware of your stance on House Isekai, but I will not tolerate another outburst again. Am I clear?"
(Kairos) "Y-Yes Ma'am..."
Helena, Astrid, and Stefan shrugged while Elizabeth felt a slight tang of guilt as well. While she had enough tact to not say that out loud, it was very close to how she felt about them as well.
The Knights of Favonius and Class VII shifted uncomfortably watching this exchange happen. It was obvious that their involvement here went beyond their comprehension...
...
[Suspicion - Persona 5 OST]
Shibuya, Central Street...
Tumblr media
Ryuji scrolled through his phone over and over again. He looked up from it and his eyes searched for any familiar faces. So far, no one had shown up.
(Ryuji) "Come on, what's takin' them so long?"
He looked down at the phone again and reread the messages, losing count of how many times he's done so.
==
GROUP CHAT: Akira Kurusu, Ann Takamaki, Yusuke Kitagawa, Makoto Niijima, Futaba Sakura, Haru Okumura, Sumire Yoshizawa
Akira: Hey, did anyone else get that message?
You: What message?
Futaba: You mean the one from Sitri?
Ann: So that wasn't just me!
Haru: I could only hear a little bit of the message, I was in the middle of something.
Haru: What's strange is that I cannot get it to replay.
Makoto: Same here. Was anyone able to?
Yusuke: Fortunately I was. The message is as follows:
Yusuke: “This is Sitri Eisner of Garreg Mach Monastery. House Isekai, we are requesting immediate assistance from anyone that can hear this. If you are able, please arrive at Garreg Mach. This message will now repeat.”
You: Holy shit, did something happen?!
Sumire: I wasn't able to hear it either, I'm afraid. What was the tone of her voice?
Futaba: Pretty calm, actually. Still though if she's calling for aid, that's not good.
Akira: Pretty bad timing too. Morgana and I can't exactly leave to meet up in Tokyo.
Makoto: And college is currently taking my attention.
Makoto: Who knows how long we'd be gone for if we went in now?
Yusuke: Is there anyone who can respond, then?
You: I'll be the vanguard then! Leave it to me!
Ann: Thankfully I'm available as well, so I'll go with Ryuji.
Haru: That's relieving to hear. I have company business I must attend personally.
Haru: But, I am not comfortable with only two of our members being able to answer the call.
Akira: I think the Investigation Team and S.E.E.S left us their numbers before we left Fodlan. You guys should give them a call.
Ann: Good idea!
Ann: I wonder if anyone else in House Isekai's answered already...
Ryuji: They better have, it'd be pretty awkward if it was only us!
Sumire: Then we shall leave this in your hands for now. We'll try to show up as fast as we can!
Akira: We're counting on you guys. Stay safe.
You: You bet!
Ann: We won't let you down!
==
The messages finished two days ago, and apparently the distress signal was sent four days before that. Meaning 6 days had passed now.
He and Ann were able to contact Naoto of the Investigation Team and Mitsuru of S.E.E.S. They all planned to meet in Central Street at 12 today.
It was 11:50 PM, while no one was late, Ryuji still felt anxious. It had been two years since they all had left Fodlan, and he still wasn't used to the idea of jumping dimensions, ironically.
(Ann's Voice) "Ryuji!"
He put away his phone and waved a hand.
(Ryuji) "Yo, good to see ya!"
Ann nodded as she leaned on the wall next to Ryuji.
(Ann) "I'm so glad someone else was able to respond. To be honest, I'm kind of terrified right now."
(Ryuji) "Dude, holy shit same! Like what's so bad that they need ALL of us there?"
(Ann) "I'm not sure I wanna think about it, but we have to...ugh, why did Sitri have to call at such a bad time? The fact only a few of us can respond is pretty scary."
(Naoto's voice) "Hopefully, that is all we need."
The two turned as Naoto tipped her hat to them, adjusting her coat.
(Naoto) "I see we all arrived early, today."
(Ryuji) "Well, considering what the situation is, it's better that we get here faster than usual."
(Naoto) "Indeed. Unfortunately, I contacted my group and I am the only one from the Investigation Team responding."
(Ann) "Oh, there's Mitsuru! Hey, over here!"
Ann waved wildly to catch her attention, Mitsuru slowly wading her way through the afternoon crowd of Shibuya.
(Mitsuru) "Hello everyone...So, this is all that can make it right now?"
(Ryuji) "Yeah, it sucks pretty effin' bad that it's just the four of us, but I think we can handle it!...God I hope we can."
(Mitsuru) "Hm. Well, anyways I have at least some news to share regarding House Isekai's situation. Aigis was the first person to respond to Sitri's call."
(Ann) "...And?"
(Mitsuru) "Concerningly, that's all I heard from Aigis before she went in. It's been dead silent otherwise. Although it has only been 6 days, I'd still have preferred to hear something at least."
(Naoto) "Have we heard anything from our former classmates?"
(Ryuji) "We haven't heard nothin' anyone else..."
(Ann) "What about Slayer? He set up our whole communication system to begin with, right?"
(Mitsuru) "That seems to be our only lead that can have us safely arrive back to our world, so I think that may be our best course of action."
(Ryuji) "Right, so we should get going...Er, how exactly are we going to do that?"
(Naoto) "I believe-"
KABOOOOOOOOM!
[Tension - Persona 5 OST]
The buildings shook violently as an explosion rocked the entire city.
People's screams and confused muttering filled the streets as they looked towards the source.
The four Persona Users regained their footing and looked at what everyone else was staring at.
It was a massive cloud of smoke off in the distance near the Subway stations.
(Ann) "What the heck was that?!"
(Mitsuru) "We must put our plans on hold for now!"
(Naoto) "Agreed, let us investigate the cause!"
Mitsuru and Naoto rushed ahead without hesitation, leaving Ryuji and Ann alone for the moment.
(Ann) "S-So confident...!"
(Ryuji) "Man, I dunno if I'm glad or disappointed in myself that I'm not able to react THAT normally to explosions..."
Shrugging, the two sprinted to catch up with Mitsuru and Naoto.
A few minutes later, the four managed to get near the source of the explosion. It was in the middle of station square where a number of officers had gathered to block people from getting past them.
(Officer) "Stand back people, don't get too close!"
(Officer 2) "Hey, no pictures, everyone get back!"
Naoto shoved people aside while the other three tagged closely behind her.
(Officer 3) "You people deaf?! I said-Hey wait a second, you're that Detective Prince!"
(Naoto) "Naoto Shirogane, yes. What's going on here?"
(Officer 3) "Man, we have no idea. One second everything was normal then this big explosion happened outta nowhere!"
(Mitsuru) "Any injuries?"
(Officer 3) "A lot of people injured, but no ones dead, by some miracle."
(Naoto) "May we see the scene, for a moment at least?"
The officer looked at Naoto then sighed.
(Officer 3) "Make it fast, we have no idea if this was a terrorist attack or not."
Naoto nodded and the four moved past the guards and investigated the site.
In the middle of the street, there was a massive crater with a rock in the center of it.
(Naoto) "What in the world...?!"
(Ann) "Hey, doesn't that rock look kinda-?"
The rock upon closer examination appeared to be made of some sort of crystal.
And in the crystal appeared to be a mixture of some form of red minerals into it.
(Ryuji) "Wait a sec, don't that look like?!-"
(Mitsuru) "The Crystal Tower from Zanado? It looks like only a fragment has appeared, and thankfully not even close to its original size. How on earth did it-"
[Blood of Villain - Persona 5 OST]
A hatch opened up making everyone flinch, a puff of smoke slowly emerging from the door.
(Naoto) "Everyone, stand behind me!"
Naoto pulled out a revolver from her coat, officers quickly escorting the bystanders watching away from whatever was about to happen.
The hatch was violently flung off from the fragment, the door almost hitting several people in the process.
And from that hatch, a large foot was sticking out, slowly landing onto the ground.
The figure that landed in front of them was an absolutely massive creature, decked out in metal plating, broken leather and green skin.
It raised its head, cackling at first, but the laughter stopped when it got a good look at its environment.
(Green Creature) "Wot 'da zog iz dis?! Dis ain't da boss's ship! It's full uv 'umiez!"
(Ryuji) "WHAT THE 'EFF IS THAT?!"
Multiple similar looking creatures stepped out with the one in front, looking just as angry. Naoto lost count after the 15th one dropped out.
In total, from what she could guess, it looked like there was about thirty of them.
(Green Creature 2) "Dose lanky Boyz lied ta us! Dey said dey were gunna tellyport us right'n 'der!"
(Naoto) "STOP RIGHT THERE! DON'T MOVE ANY FURTHER!"
The green creatures stared at Naoto, and its disgusting smile grew back again, the cackling returning twofold.
(Green Creature) "Look at 'dat puny shoota 'dat 'umie's got!"
The creature pulled out its own gun and aimed it straight at her.
Naoto's eyes went wide, as the gun it pulled out was as big as her torso.
(Green Creature) "Now DIS?! DIS IZ A SHOOTA!"
(Ann) "HOLY CRAP!"
(Mitsuru) "What are these...Things?!"
(Green Creature 2) "Yer hear 'dat? Dey ain't neva heard uv us orkz before!"
(Ork Leader) "Dere faces are jus irritat'n me! KILL 'DA 'UMIEZ BOYZ! DEN WE GET DOSE LANKY BOYZ WHEN WE GET BACK!"
(Orks) "WAAAAAAAAAAAGH!"
Ann and Ryuji's clothes suddenly shifted, making them look down in confusion.
(Ann) "Huh?!"
(Naoto) "Those clothes...then that means...!"
Tumblr media
Mitsuru pulled out an evoker and pointed it at her head while Naoto quickly reached for her glasses, Ann and Ryuji grabbing their masks.
Tumblr media
"PERSONA!"
[Invitation to Freedom - Persona Q2: New Cinema Labyrinth OST]
Ryuji shot first with his Persona, aiming it directly at the group of orks.
(Ryuji) "CAPTAIN KIDD!"
His person's arm cannon burst into a flame and disappeared as another explosion rung out and hit the fragment behind them, blowing up three orks.
The orks ignored their fallen kin and screamed, shooting wildly with their crude guns and the bullets not going anywhere even close to hitting them.
Mitsuru nimbly dodged an ork swinging its axe at her, slamming onto the concrete as her Persona froze the ork in place.
(Mitsuru) "Artemisia!"
Mitsuru's Persona froze another two approaching her, and shattered them into pieces.
(Ryuji) "COME ON YOU BIG SON OF A BITCH!"
Ryuji's grin grew as he slammed his mace into an Ork's head, but his smile turned into shock when his weapon broke.
The ork Ryuji hit laughed as it raised its arm.
(Ork) "BAHAHAHA!"
The Ork's arms slammed into Ryuji, sending him flying past the police tape which was at least 10 feet from the fight.
(Ann) "SKULL!"
Ann ducked as bullets whizzed over her head, using her whip and swinging it at the one that attacked Ryuji.
Once again, their melee attacks appeared to do nothing.
(Ork) "YA HIT LIKE WUN UV IM TAU BOYZ, HA!"
(Ann) "GO TO HELL! CARMEN!"
Ann's hands reached her mask and a swift pull summoned her Persona in front, and at a snap of her fingers, the ork was set ablaze screaming and flailing wildly.
Spinning around Ann set a squad of five on fire, a similar effect being achieved as their bodies turned to ash.
Three orks charged Naoto with their axes about to chop her head off.
A tarot card floated above her as he revolver aimed upwards.
(Naoto) "Sukuna Hikona!"
Her Persona appeared in front of the orks, confusing them.
(Ork) "Eh, wot iz 'dat? It's so tiny!"
Naoto's Persona swung rapidly at them, her sword arm finishing behind them.
The orks looked at themselves before looking back at Naoto.
(Ork 2) "DAT WAS NOTHING! YA KAN'T KRUMP AN ORK LIKE DAT!"
Naoto ignored them and ran past them to help out the others.
The three moved to pursue her, until one of their legs came off, then arms, then slowly their head.
(Ork) "...OH ZOG-"
Was the last words of the third ork as they slid into chunks, their corpses falling and their pieces mixed together.
The leader of the group watched in mild excitement and curiosity, never seeing this type of fighting before.
(Ork) "Im 'umiez are krumping our boyz pretty gud."
(Ork Leader) "Dat dey are, dat dey are..."
Mitsuru helped Ryuji up off the ground, her Persona shielding them.
(Mitsuru) "Are you alright?"
(Ryuji) "Hooooly shit, ugh think that guy broke one of my 'effin ribs!"
(Mitsuru) "So direct fighting is out of the question for us then. Can you still fight?"
Another group of three approached them as Ryuji took off his mask, more pissed off than ever.
Captain Kidd rammed straight into them, knocking them all into the ground, then shooting its cannon arm into the air and a bolt of lightning raining down and smiting them, their bodies falling limp.
(Ryuji) "That answer your question?"
Ryuji's face moved to smile but started coughing and falling on one knee.
(Ryuji) "HOHO-OH, THAT HURTS! J-JUST GO I...NEED A SEC!"
Captain Kidd moved to the defensive while the ork's guns started firing at him, the bullets being barely deflected.
Four more orks started to run towards Mitsuru, their guns aiming right at her.
Mitsuru's Persona created an icy floor beneath them, making them slip over and fall flat on their backs.
At a split second, spikes of ice shot up and tore them to pieces, Mitsuru quickly examining where the next threat was.
Ann and Naoto were engaged in close combat with two orks each, Ann's agility was the only thing keeping her from being cleaved in half by their frightening strength.
Carmen's flames were lighting them ablaze, but they were still somehow fighting.
Naoto's Persona created shields that deflected their attacks as she tried to figure out how to get out of the defensive.
Any longer meant that those axes were splitting her head in two.
Naoto raised her revolver and shot one of them in the eye, making them recoil and shove the other ork back by accident.
Quickly seizing the chance, her Persona moved for their hands, then decapitating them at the blink of an eye.
Ann's Persona kicked up the intensity of her fires, to the point where the concrete itself was set on fire, reducing them to literally nothing.
The Ork's leader turned to the last three next two him and they jumped down, eager to get in the fight.
That fight was short lived as those two orks were quickly frozen, then smashed to pieces by Captain Kidd.
(Ork Leader) "HAH, YA KAN FIGHT, I LIKE 'DAT 'UMIE!"
(Ann) "Which one of you is the commander or whatever?!"
(Ork) "I AM!"
(Ork Leader) "WOT?!"
Ann's Persona burned the Ork Leader to Ash, leaving the singular one alive.
The ork struggled to conceal a smile. Now HE would be the boss.
...Assuming he'd live from these humies who look ready to kill him anyway.
(Naoto) "Is that all of them?"
(Ryuji) "Y-Yeah, looks like it."
[Wicked Plan - Persona 5 OST]
The Ork jumped down laughing.
(Ork) "Not bad, not bad at all!"
(Naoto) "Now, you'll answer our questions! What are you?!"
(Ork) "Why do yer 'umiez always sound 'da zoggin' same? We'z orkz! 'Da greenest an' bestest!"
(Ann) "...Uh, what is he saying?"
(Ryuji) "'Eff if I know..."
(Naoto) "Now, where did you come from?! And is that the Crystal Tower?!"
(Ork) "Krystal Tower...? OH! 'Da giant shiny spiky place, yea we kame from 'der. Stupid name ya gave it, dough."
Naoto was taken aback by how casual it sounded. They had just killed 29 of their...friends? Why did it sound like it didn't care?
(Mitsuru) "They're from Fodlan...? We never encountered anything like these Orks during our time there."
(Ork) "Actually we kame from da boss's ship. It gets konfusing, furst 'der was da weirdboyz 'ploding, den dose weird gits wit' da 'xtra arms attack'n us, den-"
(Mitsuru) "GET TO THE POINT."
(Ork) "We smash da zog outta some lanky boyz an' we have im lead'n us ta bigga an' betta loot! but dey backstabbed us, when we were gonna backstab our boss!"
(Ryuji) "Alright asshole, take us to Fodlan then!"
(Ork) "Wit' pleasure! i've got a mind ta teach ‘da lanky boyz a lesson! ‘da name's Gravestompah!"
(Ann) "Just shut up and get us there!"
(Gravestompah) "Psh, yer 'umiez neva know how ta have fun..."
The four followed the Ork inside cautiously into the Crystal fragment, and as quickly as it appeared, it disappeared.

Haru: Stay safe, everyone!

Akira put away his phone and looked to Morgana.
(Morgana) "So how are we gonna get to Shibuya? We don't have a means of transportation."
Akira reached into his pocket and pulled out a small crest of House Isekai's logo.
(Akira) "Think I got an idea..."

WIP Asks: "Reminisce" next
Rules: Post the names of all the files in your WIP folder,   regardless of how non-descriptive or ridiculous. Let people send you an ask with the title that most intrigues them and then post a little   snippet of it or tell them something about it! and then tag as many   people as you like.
I’m not sure when this one is set yet, definitely post-Dragonsong War and post-Foibles (FFXIVWrite2020.) Maybe post-4.0, depending. This is another Thancred PoV one, where they both open up a little bit about their pasts, him about Sharlayan and Gwen about how she made a living and what made her decide to learn botany and pick up a lance.
I’m really liking this one so far, but I’ve been torn about how the conversation about Gwen’s past should go. I’m not sure if I would rather it be dialogue, or a more vague description of what she’s talking about and his reactions to it. I’m sorta-kinda writing both at once and waiting for one of them to start coming easier and/or take off lol
(this is also where that First Lines snippet came from!)
Part of the WIP and a bit more summary below the cut.
Gwen and Thancred are fairly solidly together by this point, though they’re both still avoiding labels or addressing ‘them’ like the plague lest they upset this good thing they have going on. They’re both dinguses.
Despite that, he still doesn’t know much about her, as Gwen isn’t prone to offer much about herself unless it’s something particularly prudent or useful (”You need to shoot something? Don’t give me a bow, I’m not good with them.”) and even when asked she’s more likely to sort of avoid the question or give half-answers as she’s embarrassed about her past, even with Thancred. She’s very self-conscious about growing up alone and with nothing, struggling to get by and picking up and honing skills out of pure desperation. She’s also just a private person in general and not used to talking about herself, so even when she’s asked 100% judgement-free she’s just not sure what to say.
It can grow to be a bit frustrating, to say the least lol
-
Despite what the Adders’ reports and the increase in Ixali activity seemed to suggest, two days of reconnaissance in the Shroud has yielded little and less. No news is good news in the case of Primals, however, even if it makes the investigation feel a bit tedious.
The Ixali haven’t created any new routes to try and smuggle crystals under the Wailer’s and Adders’ noses, and their old paths have been abandoned since the last time Gwen laid Garuda low. The items stolen in roadside attacks were mostly sundries and foodstuffs bound for Coerthas which, while troubling, isn’t cause for the Scions’ concern. 
None of the travelers and merchants they’ve spoken with over the course of their investigation have been happy about being accosted in the middle of the woods, no matter how politely Gwen and the Adder recruits try to go about it. 
Thancred watches the latest victim of circumstance storm off down the road from his vantage point high in the trees. He lifts a hand to his linkpearl and remarks, “Seems he took offense.”
Gwen shakes her head, casting her gaze around the trees in search of him. “Just a bit. See anyone else?”
Thancred scans the road. “The road is clear, apart from your new acquaintance.”
She passes that on to the Adders, and they have a small discussion he can only assume pertains to what they intend to do next. Given the way things have been going, this investigation will surely be coming to an end soon.
Eventually the recruits salute and depart back up the way the traveler had come. Gwen doesn’t follow.
Thancred waits until they’re yalms away before speaking into the linkpearl. “What’s the word?”
“They’re going to the rendezvous with the other team, then contact the Adders’ Nest.” She tries to spot him in the trees again. And misses him, again. 
“And we get to hold position and await further word?” he drawls.
She nods. Then she remembers they’re speaking over linkpearl, “Yes.”
He sighs at the thought of more bells in the muggy forest. “Wonderful.”
Rather than continue searching the treetops for him, Gwen turns and makes for the bushes on the far side of the road. He watches with mild interest as she wanders through the untamed foliage, ducking out of sight every now and then and gradually wandering further from the road until he’s lost sight of her.
Foraging, if he had to guess. She’s never been a fan of sitting still, and it’s the perfect way to pass the time in a forest. He’s not sure how much she’ll find close to the road, as surely other travelers have already helped themselves to everything convenient.
Gwen has never hidden her skills as a botanist, per say, but she’s a great deal more open about them than she used to be, particularly when it comes to gathering herbs for her own use. Fetching tea leaves for a friend or herbs for a leve is all well and good, but collecting esoteric botanicals for herself is, apparently, a different matter. Perhaps a few too many people have commented about her snacking on dandelions and roots, or balked at the suggestion that they could do the same. 
Thancred winces and shifts on the branch, knowing he ought to count himself amongst the former. He puts that little blunder out of his mind, reminding himself he’d meant no ill will and had only been teasing. Her knowledge of Eorzea’s vegetation is nothing to be embarrassed about, nor is utilizing it as she sees fit, and they’re both well aware of that. She knows more than he does, despite the fact she hadn’t had access to the same extensive education and training.
He idly surveys the road, musing about how she’s rather reluctant to discuss how she learned botany, evasive when asked and quick to direct the conversation elsewhere. He can’t fault her for that, though. Many people consider childhoods spent mired in hardship to be a sore subject, and the two of them are no exceptions. Necessity, desperation and survival are wonderful motivators, but they don’t make for good small talk.
Which is likely also why comments about nibbling on weeds or foraging for odd ingredients are unwelcome; those ‘weeds’ may well have kept her alive. And isn’t that a hell of a thing to admit to? It’s not unlike the fact he’s not embarrassed by his ability to pick locks in seconds, but he recoils from the thought of admitting he’d picked up the skill breaking into homes and shops to steal food.
Eventually her lightly-staticy voice rings in his ear again. “Hungry?”
He’s mostly bored, and tired of the tree bark making an impression in his rear. “I take it you are, if you went looking for a snack.” 
“Just passing time, mostly.” A pause. Communicating when he can’t read her expression or fidgeting is always interesting, and occasionally vexing. “But we’ve been out here a while, so…”
Thancred gets to his feet and peers up and down the road again, straining his eye and searching for the shapes of travelers through the sparse trees. It’s all clear. 
“I don’t suppose you managed to find a wild bakery growing out there?” he asks, stretching his arms and legs in preparation for his descent. 
She laughs as the red of her coat comes into view through the trees. “I’m afraid not.”
He scoffs. “All that time studying botany and you can’t track down fresh bread in the wilderness?”
“Not even a single loaf,” she confesses, her remorseful tone colored with mirth.
“Shameful, honestly. Why did I even bring you along?” He starts climbing back down to the ground, her laugh bubbling warmly in his ear.
 Gwen’s excursion into the woods turned up a handful of roots, weeds and flowers that the average traveler wouldn’t look twice at. Between his survival training and his time in Dravania, particularly before he’d fashioned those obsidian knives, Thancred isn’t so easily perturbed.
They stroll along the road and snack, chatting and keeping an eye out for travelers or signs of movement in the trees. She walks on his left, sparing him the inconvenience of his blindspot. He has to turn his head to see her, though, but doesn’t mention it.
She shows him how to shave the hard skin off the roots, and then stares confusedly when he does it more masterfully than she had. He makes a bit of a show of it, carelessly flipping his hunting knife around in his fingers in a way that always makes her tense and reveling in her silent disapproval.
Gwen asks about Sharlayan and what the time he spent there was like, intent as ever to know more about him and draw out the things he normally keeps hidden. 
He chews, thinks, and decides to oblige her. Mayhap she’ll be convinced to return the favor.
He tells her about the city, the people, and the Studium to start. Then they spend a handful of yalms musing about the growing pains that came with maturing from a Lominsan wharf rat into a Sharlayan scholar. She has some questions, he has some answers --some more open and direct than others. Secrecy and facades are his habit, despite how easy she is to speak to and how well she can coax him out of his shell.
With the scene set, he weaves her a tale about some of his more harrowing lessons with Sharlayan’s masters of stealth and subtlety, sprinkling in a bit of the mischief he’d gotten up to here and there. She makes a good audience, listening attentively and reacting at the right parts. 
He finishes his tale and throws in a flick of his wrist for a bit of flourish, followed by a grandiose half-bow that earns him a laugh and a brief applause.
 They haven’t run into another traveler yet, or seen any suspicious movement in the woods. They turn around and begin making their way back to where they’d parted with the Adders recruits.
“Your turn,” Thancred prompts, lacing his fingers together behind his head.
Gwen cocks her head.
“A story for a story,” he says. “Tell me about yourself.”
-
(((Tangent: This reminded me I also want to write a fic about Gwen studying her ass off post-ARR because and struggling with self-consciousness when she realizes how limited her knowledge is and how little she knows about the fine details and advanced aspects of Aetherology and a dozen other things the Archons all discuss and debate with ease. She doesn’t feel stupid per say, it’s more she’s intimidated and embarrassed at how limited her knowledge is in comparison to them, as well as feeling a bit foolish for being proud of her novice conjury and thaumaturgy, and even her red magic. (Which is ridiculous, obvs.) It’s a bit like being a novice at something and then being humbled, even unintentionally, by an expert. Also a little bit of “being a smart person in a room of smarter people,” kind of feeling. She’s not dumb, but she feels way less smart than she is/thought she was when she’s around the Archons (too much so, even.) There’s also no small amount of envy about them growing up at studying in Sharlayan, and wishing she’d ever had, or would have, the chance to go to school and get/have that same breadth of knowledge. She’s not a very prideful person, but she is/was proud of learning all she did despite her situation, and being reminded of how non-comprehensive her knowledge is kinda stings. She did great, considering her circumstances... and that qualifier has never ceased to be annoying. Some of her self-consciousness also stems from her realizing a great deal of her mastery of red- and black-magic skills has to do with the Echo letting her absorb stuff super quickly, and she almost feels like that was cheating and wonders if she really actually knows it all as well as she thinks, or if the Echo is just...doing it for her, kinda.)))
