some part of me wanted a scene where Gideon got to be parented by John at the end of HTN and they had the absolute worst father-daugther dynamic ever

Re: The Locked Tomb, Ortus specifically.

I get why a lot of fans headcanon him as a virgin, especially in fic where he's getting a "first time." I see the logic and I see the appeal. There weren't exactly a lot of people his age to spend time with, after all.

However, please consider:

Ortus the Ninth is in his mid-thirties. He's the youngest man on a planet with a rapidly-aging population. While he may not be handsome according to canon, he's strong and relatively young and probably gets a fair number of offers, which his mother would repulse violently if she became aware of them. But she probably wasn't aware of all of them. And Ortus was probably quite lonely, considering that the only other people close to his age were much younger and didn't appear to want to have much to do with him. I think he would accept a handful of times, if only for the company. Even if the people involved probably saw him as inferior to his father and a weak-minded fool who was only good for poetry, it's better than not being wanted at all, right? Better than having only his mother for company.

So yeah. I think that it's also valid to headcanon that Ortus has done some things. He may or may not be happy or proud of that. But I don't think he's wholly inexperienced.

I’m surprised Sabin didn’t get swept away by the ocean and end up on the other side of the world, knowing him.

What would the FFXIV OST would look like if you mapped it out and drew lines between the songs that share motifs?

Take a peek and find out. 🎶

Some numbers:

There are 471 songs and 477 individual motifs in this chart at time of publishing

There are 567 instances of motifs appearing in other songs (so far)

22 motifs are established in 1.0, 43 in ARR, 19 in HW, 16 in StB, 13 in ShB, and 20 in EW

There are only four degrees of separation between "A Sailor Never Sleeps", the Limsa Lominsa night theme, and "The Final Day", which plays during the final 6.0 trial???

THE WoL WENT THROUGH A REJOINING ON A PERSONAL SCALE

The Exarch explains the mechanics behind the Rejoinings. That the balance of Aether in the Source versus the Shards is tipped until the Source is strained to the breaking point, and at last fractures in the fabric of reality allow the properly aspected Shard to join with the Source to rebalance the scales. That the overwhelming aetheric shift from the Shard being absorbed - Rejoined - is what causes the Calamities, and why each has a given aetheric aspect.

The WoL has been absorbing all the Primordial Light of the Lightwardens, and after Innocence, Ryne says that not only the WoL's body is breaking down. Their soul is fracturing. She uses the Blessing of Light to quell it and hold them together as much as she can, but the damage hasn't been undone.

That takes Ardbert. The WoL's shard, at the last, sees the WoL breaking, and rushes to fill in the cracks. To restore balance. And yes, the Primordial Light is spent - needs to spent - in defeating Hades, but it's Ardbert rushing in to fill in the gaps left in the WoL that mends them.

Y'shtola and Ryne note, after the fight, that WoL is mended. They doesn't understand how it happened, though they're relieved.

The WoL is the microcosmos in the macrocosmos. Mended just as the Source is with every Rejoining. And the devastation wrought on Hades their personal calamity.

I don't normally do the Twitter screenshot thing, but I've seen like three different examples of the parodied post genre in the last week and just laughed aloud at this, so.

Listen it wasn’t the most baffling thing in the world when Netflix canceled Lockwood and co even tho it performed well bc let’s be real, Netflix will basically cancel a show if it breathes wrong…

But do you think that Netflix actually canceled Lockwood and co bc around the time it aired they’d aquired the rights to dead boy detectives (a show with a competingly similar premise to Lockwood and co that has Neil Gaiman attached who’s had two very successful shows in the last few years with Netflix and Amazon prime)… because I do.

Like to me that’s the missing puzzle piece of what happened there
