What if Demi-Carbuncle? with @wildstar25's Arsay Nun and her Couscous

Arsay retired her chocobo, Fish, from transportation duty quite early on in her Adventure. Nothing against him, of course, she loves Fish!! But needing to cross great distances in little time was getting hard for him. He was much more suited for combat. And so, because Arsay likes to fly high, she got herself a lanner! A lanner named Chili and she is the fastest bird out there.
Later, while waiting for the all clear to travel to Old Sharlayan, Arsay devised a new "formula" for her dear carbuncle, Couscous. She'd been waiting a mount that she wouldn't need to worry about while traversing through dangerous terrain. Couscous is as alive as any other being but he is also made of Aether, and can be reconstructed with the snap of her fingers.
She did hope he'd turn out a little bigger, but it's hard to manage that while being conscious of the aether consumption used in his summoning. Her feet may brush the ground a little, but she can also depend on him to take her where she needs to go with little direction. So that makes up for it.
WoLQotD: What mount do you use as your main form of transportation?

MiqoMarch Day 12 - Companion
"The thing about adventuring is you never know what companions will come and go along the way, right? But I'm lucky, 'cause I'll always have Couscous to keep me company!"
#ffxiv#ffxiv gpose#miqomarch#miqomarch2025#arsay nun#couscous the carbuncle#its couscous appreciation hours 24/7 all day everyday#he is Arsays first friend and best companion#he might lowkey be a primal of sorts considering Arsay actually uses more outside aether to summon him than her own but sh we dont talk abo#we dont talk about it#what matters is couscous is best boy#and Arsays sole solo adventuring buddy now that Fish has retired and is living it up in labarynthos#she moved fish over when she started living in old sharlayan and it turned out they made a great livestock guardian type creature#its kinda like when ash lets bulbasaur stay in the forest cause they were good at keeping the natural order of it all#so thats what fish does now which is preferable to arsay tbh cause she kept going to really dangerous places and was starting to get worrie#about his safety. She can always resummon couscous but she cant revive Fish#I imagine couscous is actually south sea language for something cute but I out of character named him after the pasta#cause its a round carb! just like him :)#technically not her canon eureka exploration outfit but the new summoner pants go really well with the scorpion top#its a similar silhouette to her stormblood outfit so lets just pretend she found pants like that

"No matter where I go, I can always depend on Couscous to be right by my side. An adventurer's best friend through and through."
#ffxiv#ffxiv gpose#ffxiv carbuncle#Arsay Nun#Couscous the carbuncle#im having lots of thoughts and feelings about couscous lately#hes his own little dude!!#arsay wanted a friend so badly when she summoned him she might have accidentally given him sentience#so he has his own personality#his own memories and can problem solve on his own#hes very smart !!#much closer to a creation one might see on elpis then the standard carbuncle summoned by mid to high tier arcanist#he loves Arsay and is very loyal

I have this idea in my head that Couscous was “friends” with Alphinauds carbuncle and sometimes gets sad when alphinaud is around but his carbuncle isn’t.

but consider, instead of pants
Couscous in a Hoodie
he would be so cozy!!!!! I think there was a pre dt mod that put the year of the dragon hoodie from the chocobo chick on a carbuncle that was super cute!! it was before I was using the launcher though so I never tried it out... also if anything Arsay would be putting a cat hoodie on Couscous and not a dragon hoodie.

#ffxiv#ffxiv gpose#miqomarch#miqomarch2025#miqo'te#arsay nun#once again scaling the pictomancer brush to be actual paint brush size#Arsay (and I) love quaqua so much!!!#hes like the proto carbuncle of the south sea which is fantasic#my hidden lore is that the lethe reincarnation on the source before arsay WAS a south sea lala who helped create proto summons#and then aloalo came out and we got this guy and it was perfect!!!#Arsay just had to make her own as well!!#look at this perfect creature sitting so polite#im such a sucker for golem type creatures aa i love u quaqua im so glad to have spent weeks doing another aloalo to get you#tbh if I had it my way Quaqua would be arsay's earth summon instead of titan since its pretty much like earth (wood) infused couscous#a bit of a stretch but shh

-> In pursuit of a playmate, a young Y'shtola created a water-based familiar by applying lessons learned from her mentor. -> As a lonely child, a self-taught Arsay used an aged codex stolen from her guardian to summon herself a friend.

Them! Because sometimes your wolship end up having similar childhood experiences despite their different circumstances and I think that's a really sweet connection between them <3

As someone who knows basically nothing about cars these are fantastic thank you. I'm now thinking of a modern/cyber punk au (no magic) where Arsay would ride around a bike like that and call it couscous for inexplicable reasons.
- "Autoqo'tes, roll out!"
<Arsay transforms into a blue sportscar and drives off, followed by a teal motorcycle Couscous>
okay but now you have to assign a real car and bike to them
#arsay nun#couscous the carbuncle#very funny cause my dads car that I would drive before moving out is a subaru impreza and its honestly the best car Ive every driven#but the lotus is arsay colours
