#Jason windsaga

I've fallen into the FFXIV rabbit hole, and my friends are not helping. Nay, they are enabling me, by not only writing stories with me, but by also shipping my WOL with Haurchefant and feeding my brainrot.

(Legally) blind miqo'te is completely smitten with a local lord. More at eleven.

Have another doodle of these two - Jason has unfortunate habit of under dressing for Coerthas. He also has the unfortunate habit of being very pickable.

“You’re a real miracle, Haurchefant. One I am privileged to witness.”

Took me a whole month on and off, but here we go! All of the fellas on this blog with their respective Pride flags!

A scene from a RP with friend - Jason's companion and pet, Anklebiter, has no qualms about showing who's her favorite Elezen. He makes her owner happy, after all!

Heavensward spoilers below-

We got through the base game of Heavensward. Vault happened. It didn't stick in Storytellers canon, though the Storytellers were quick to confiscated all arms and armor in Fortemps manor to make sure still-recovering-Haurchefant wouldn't follow them to the battle (which is why he's on more casual clothing).

Then a certain OTHER bossfight with the Fossil King and the Fucks of the Round Table happened. Jason wanted revenge. Got too close. He lost good chunk of his hair.

He was not happy, the lad might have a self-confidence of an self-critical artist but he was rather proud of his hair.

Does your character's friends/family have any embarrassing stories about their life they like to tell other people? What was the story, why does your character think they like it so much and do they care if it's told? If not, what's the most embarrassing thing your character has ever done they're glad no one knows about?

"Embarrassing stories from my past... Only one who could tell those right now would be Lyra, and she's not in the habit of telling them unless we're riffing on each other, and even then she tends to hold back. Not that there is that many, the temple didn't leave me much time for tomfoolery, strict bastards..."

He then chuckles, shaking his head. "Though there is the story of the chili milk... But that is embarrassing for me and Lyra both. There is also the time when I uh... let out a cuss so strong I think I made the whole clergy present gasp in horror. I became well acquainted with soap after that. Lyra will toss me into the nearest river if I repeat it now, too."

A moment of consideration - Lyra wasn't only one who had seen him do dumb things; the past few moons of adventuring certainly had it's fair share of idiocy from the bard.

"Uria might have some stories from our adventures before we really started to work with Scions in full, he certainly has no trouble referencing some instances to put me in my place if I show any signs of growing an ego. Kind of stopped being embarrassed by anything thanks to that - I'm more ashamed of some things, if anything."

re: this post

M'parra is a goof.

"Meowdy!"

Jason got a hat and turned into a cowboy, more at 11.

Who's the other WIndsaga?

Lyra Windsaga! She's Jasons younger sister, a lancer/dragoon, and the two have been thick as thieves for the majority of their lives. She's being played by @phyrephoxyttrpg

She's brave, happy, social and very huggy personality. Generous to boot, and Jason very much considers her the heart and soul of the party - without her around, there is no team. Or that's at least his opinion.

She can be a little oblivious at times, and slightly naïve, and be quite reckless in combat, but Jason loves her all the same - her presence brightens everyone's day. More backstory under the cut!

Their adoptive parents were ill-equipped to handle miqo'tes, and knew nothing of their culture as where they lived, they were basically the first discovered miqo'tes - hence their names. Jason was the one to adopt the name 'Windsaga' for himself, and Lyra followed suit. We don't talk about the couple that 'raised' them. At all.

We call them the cat-twins, biblings, and miqo-twins, but they're not actual twins - they got no blood relation at all, and Jason's actually couple years older. Yet, it is Lyra who often feels responsible on keeping Jason safe - always launching herself at the danger. Partially because she cares, partially because how they were raised >w>

Due to backstory reasons, Jason had to leave their home-village 3 years before Lyra could follow. She was not happy about it. But the moment the two reconnected, the two have been attached by the hip for the most part - aside from a couple month period where the party was disbanded for vacation reasons.

Oh, and Jason 100% is playing wingman to get Lyra and Beans together. Lyra's returning the favor with Haurchefant.

Jason found a bird, and has been just all smiles about it. Meet Himmel!

[dogicrimsonofficial]

Friend joined the Storytellers couple nights ago with their Haurchefant alt. So many things died that night, but we also managed couple good shots (for they also are fully on board with this ship, actively encouraging it, help me I am surrounded by enablers!) Wrote a mini-story for this, it's under the cut.

Finally, a quiet moment between one moment of destruction and heartbreak, and another of rebuilding and healing. The Storytellers had decided to take this one moment of quiet, and enjoy the evening.

That’s how Jason found himself in a little garden, sitting under a tree and next to some thicker, sweet smelling flower bushes - watching over Beans and Lyra from the distance and hoping the two would finally have a very specific discussion. That was, at least, until the grass rustled near him. One ear perking up, he looked over - just in time to see Haurchefant sit right next to him, their legs brushing against each other. 

Smile tugged at his lips, delighted to see the elezen despite how tired he felt. Normally, there’d be chatter by now - but perhaps they both felt the weight of everything from the past moon or so, and had decided to just enjoy the quiet of the night, and the comforting silence.

Or that at least had been the plan, until Haurchefant noticed Jason looking at him. 

“Hm? What is it that you’re looking at?”

Jason couldn’t help but to grin just a little. “You,” he answered, lifting his hand and taking a couple strands of Haurchefants bangs between his fingers. He gave the silvery locks a gentle tug, a gesture fond and familiar between the two already - just little something that usually told Haurchefant to get just a bit closer. 

The moonlight looked good on him - softer shades of blues, light almost making his hair glow, the gentleness of the night seemed to just fit him perfectly. Then again, Jason was rather biased - the night was always more gentle to him and his eyes.

“I’m memorizing the prettiest sight in all of Eorzea before the sunlight robs me of my vision again.”

Haurchefant let out a small laugh, before he felt fingers caressing the side of his face, a palm cupping his cheek. Out of habit, he placed one hand over Jason’s, leaning against the warmth - before he pulled the hand down just enough to plant a ghost of a kiss against the back of Jason’s fingers, his thumb stroking inside the palm. Fully aware just how sensitive Jason's sense of touch was. How important it was for him. “In that case, I should’ve brought a mirror with me.”

Jason chuckled - blush already creeping up his cheeks, something he decided to fight off against for a second. Haurchefant always had a counter to whatever he said - in fact, the man usually started with their little compliment wars. Which Jason lost, more often than not - despite being a bard, he wasn’t exactly talented in the art of romance. Still, he was going to try dammit. Haur deserved to know just how loved and appreciated he was. “What, is mine word not enough? Have to check it for yourself?”

To the surprise of the miqo’te, he was suddenly pulled against Haurchefant - strong arm wrapped around him protectively, one leg over the elezens, and Haurchefants nose in his hair. 

“No, so that you could witness yourself in my arms,” he muttered, nose brushing against the base of Jason’s ear - causing it to quiver just a little. “So you can know the heavenly sight I get to see in you.”

There was a small snort from the smaller of the two, before he settled down - wrapping one of his own arms around Haurchefants back, and giving him a quick nuzzle under the chin. Ah, he had lost this round already. And he found he didn’t mind one bit. “Are you certain you’re not secretly a bard? You certainly have a way with words that would shame most of them!”

How quick someone can change. From the discarded hope of one nation, an elevated to a position he did not want for it ruined him and his sister... to a hero of another, even if he never felt the praise was truly earned, that his efforts were not enough for his failings.

A broken man who is trying his best, slowly realizing he is both capable for more than he thought, yet it is nowhere near enough.

Jason from pre-ARR to post-Heavensward. The changes are pretty noticeable! He's smiling more too, so that's nice.
