Our Release

(Closed rp with @bnuuywol)

~*~

"Do not look at me so..."

"A knight lives to serve..."

"His sacrifice will not be forgotten."

"A smile better suits a hero."

Eden shakes her head, but the voices remain, haunting, reminding her that she's failed once again. Someone else is dead, because of her. Edmont, the man who graciously took her in after a banquet soaked in blood, is left grieving his son, because of her.

She couldn't stay there. She didn't deserve to share in his loss, as painful as it was. She had left, ignoring Alphinaud's calling after her, striding out of Ishgard and whistling for Paprika, taking to the sky upon the Bennu to go somewhere, anywhere, that would be far away from that man's agonized sobs.

Anywhere, as it is, has become the Chocobo forest in Dravania, where Paprika dropped her off before taking to a cliff where he could perch and rest with little worry of getting harrassed by a wyvern, leaving Eden alone with her thoughts.

And so she has wandered the woods for the last two days, staying out of reach of outside contact, human or otherwise, lest she be discovered before she's ready for company again.

She can't face anyone as she is now, struggling to contain her emotional state. They need Eden Azalea, Warrior of Light, the woman with wit and charm and always a joke to bring a smile, with the confidence to fell primals effortlessly, not the pensive, self-loathing woman hiding in the woods at this moment.

Eden leans against a tree, folding her arms and closing her eyes as another wave of shame and hatred washes over her. She refuses to let a tear fall; to cry would be to open the floodgates, to give in to everything she's been holding back all this time...

...to let her escape.

There will never be another Whitebrim incident. She will keep that part of her locked away, forbidden from seeing the light of day ever again. As will be this fresh blow to her soul, once she can contain it and return to Ishgard to greet her companions with nothing less than the smile they deserve.

So lost is Eden in her thoughts, her eyes shut to the world, that she barely registers the footsteps approaching her.

Would Raine ever share Thancred? Would he want to be there? Would he want to participate, or be as far away as possible so he could pretend it never happened.

Damn, I really want to know who asked this XD

The only person he shares Thancred with is Phoenyx, because they’re best friends and in a v polycule. He stays away from them for both of their comfort because they are very shy bunnies and prefer to not be near each other when that happens lol

Anyone else, no. He would not share Thancred with anyone that’s not Phoenyx

Currently this is my fav pic of Phoenyx

And this is my fav pic of Silas :)

Other people have such pretty OCs, please show me more of them. I'd like you to reblog this with your OC, preferably your favourite picture of them. Doesn't have to be pretty, or perfect, just your favourite.

This is my current favourite pic of Lizzy

vierapril day 1 - BELONGING

[sailor-artemis]

I just finished up working on my gifts for the delightful @bnuuywol in the FFXIV Swap Discord, and I figured I should post my work here too for folks who follow me here and aren't already in that group! So here it is, in 3 (technically 4) parts:

Part 1 is a fic I wrote that's a collection of short scenes from across the events of the MSQ, told from Phoenyx's (his WoL) perspective. Here's the AO3 summary:

"Sometimes a good drink is exactly what you need.

A few vignettes from the life of Phoenyx Eldritch, Black Knight and Warrior of Light."

Link to it on AO3:

Part 2 (2 and 3 really) is two character playlists that I made that have been fueling my imagination as I wrote, and some write-ups highlighting my favorite lyrics and what my thoughts were when picking each song.

The first one is more rock-oriented, and roughly outlines Phoenyx's origin story and his journey through MSQ till around Stormblood or so.

Write-up:

The second one is a bit more downtempo and electronic inspired, and focuses on his relationship with Thancred, starting around Heavensward and ending at the present.

Part 3 (really 4) is a cocktail recipe inspired by Phoenyx himself! I enjoying creating and mixing drinks in my free time, and I thought that it might be a fun challenge to drinkify some friends' WoLs, so I decided to do one for Phoenyx as well, as a gift. The primary flavors are raspberry and chocolate, and I wanted the drink to be red as a nod to the prominent red highlights in Phoenyx's hair. Here's the lil' recipe card I whipped up for it:

Echo of a Fallen Star, Phoenyx Eldritch

Some surprise art for @bnuuywol of his WoL!

[bnuuywol]

It's the red in his hair and on his face, as well as the heterochromia in his eyes

I have had a less than ideal afternoon and so I head to bed with a wol question for you all ✨

what is your wol/oc's defining feature!

is it their hair or perhaps their eyes? the way they stand? what detail is it that makes you go "ah yes, that's them alright"

[theironphoenyx]

Phoenyx posed heroically as the bystanders ran for cover. "Take your best shot, Pitch! Halloween or no, I refuse to let you plunge the world into eternal night!"

Pitch gave him a dangerous glare. "Well then, Iron Phoenyx...let's find out who you are in the dark!"

The city center went dark as night as the haggard supervillain blocked out the sun.

Phoenyx did the only sensible thing and switched to thermal imaging...

Just in time to see fist made of dark energy slam into his chest.

The vigilante went flying, smashing into a statue of the city founder, Nathaniel Slamson III, before getting to his feet.

"I am fear," the villain sneered, Eldritch, energy-based tentacles propelling him towards the masked man.

"I am death."

"You're a putz," he replied as he launched a flash grenade at him.

Phoenyx clenched his eyes shut to avoid the overwhelming burst of light. While Pitch was disoriented, he delivered a flying elbow drop from atop the statue.

The lithe supervillain smashed into the ground, only to respond with a blast of dark energy.

Phoenyx dodged. He was fine. Alas, the statue was less so...

Well, it wasn't like the statue was going to get any less damaged...

Phoenyx launched a grappling hook and wrapped it around the base.

"Tell me, Iron Phoenyx," Pitch grinned as he stood between him and the statue. "Are you afraid of the dark?"

Phoenyx sighed and yanked on the cord. Pitch didn't have a chance to turn around before he was buried beneath the fallen monument.

"...lights out for you..."

[bnuuywol]

ooo okay listen

for me to answer this i need to explain that when i create a character, they develop a mind of their own

so shipping phoenyx with thancred wasn't so much of a choice as much as it was phoenyx meeting him and falling for him and i had no control over it whatsoever

that gay lil bunboy took one look at him and developed such a crush, i merely put them in situations together because of it

for people who ship their oc with an npc: did you decide to ship them with your OC because they were a favorite character of yours OR because you felt that npc genuinely went well with your OC? I'm really curious!

[bnuuywol]

Without taking new pics, post one of your OCs as:

Romanceable NPC

Quest Giving NPC

The Final Boss

[bnuuywol]

I want more WoLs on my dash. Reblog this with the oldest picture you have of your WoL/OC, and then the newest photo you have of them. Show off what changed! Did they change race? Gender? Hair color? Hair style? Tell me about it!
