2. What was the first thing they did when they arrived in Tuliyollal?

This!

Uhhh if you don't want to click through tho, X'vahl got sick and threw up in the harbor in front of his "what-are-we" person, Erenville. It was not his most shining moment. In fact he considered perhaps just throwing his whole self into the harbor as well (which is saying a lot considering he is a giant thalassaphobe).

Thank you for the ask! ~♥ :3

[fheythfully]

blue violet!

blue violet ; a flower for faithfulness .. for a time my muse showed faithfulness to another, and in what circumstance that was.

The first that comes to mind is Satella leaving her home in Sharlayan to follow her aunt to Limsa Lominsa. Her aunt knew full well the struggles and pressures that were put upon young Satella by her mother - her aunt's sister - and when it finally reached a point where the child was about to tip over, her aunt came and offered for Satella to cross the ocean to be with her in Limsa Lominsa. Satella followed her without hesitation, leaving behind the mother she still could not help but love, her studies and the entire culture of Sharlayan. She's never even once regretted this decision.

Thank you for the ask! <3

I was tagged for WIP Wednesday @aethermimic (Thank you! )

I'm currently crafting the backstory and (modded) attire for my husband's latest character. It's amusing how he 'borrowed' my character Rue's (Ruewena) name for her—seems he's quite the admirer of my Au Ra girl.

a new AU in the Dawntrail setting, this character is a daring sky pirate with plans to abduct Iona and adventure ensues.

It feels very Ghibli (castle in the sky) to me haha. There will be lots of laughs and tenderness with his character.

11. What was their initial impression of Sphene? How did this change as the story progressed?

Dawntrail OC Questions | accepting!

Obvious Dawntrail spoilers below.

The same as Wuk Lamat at first, though certainly not as trusting. I think there was a time where Tsuna believed in the innate goodness of all people, but since coming to Eorzea-- Ishgard especially-- her cynicism has only ever grown. I think she's on the way to healing though-- that was what 6.1+ was meant to be for her.

Learning that Sphene was some sort of man-made construct or artificial intelligence though is difficult for her to wrap her head around. She has never cared for magitek, or even technology in general since she's somewhat of a traditionalist. Sphene's feelings, however, were universal no matter the manner in which they were conveyed.

I think Tsuna's fatal flaw is that she's still a pacifist due to her upbringing. It's purposeful that she's a huge hypocrite. So the desire to keep the dead alive is something they share. Not that I consider her a canon alchemist, but the lvl quests inspired her story a lot in that she (accidentally) pumps so much aether / white magic into Haurchefant's corpse that he fails to decompose even still.

So when Severian asks the wol and says this...

It really brings to mind Living Memory, and the Aitiascope.

So I believe Tsuna saw Sphene as a relatable and obviously tragic figure, surely. Maybe even a reflection of herself if she continues down the path of trying to hold onto things that have already left her.

Some minor canon bending tho... she would not have participated in the play, or shut down any of the areas. Honestly, most of the events that happen I don't think she participated in. Much like Erenville, I think she would have been extremely aloof during the entire stay there.

[lavampira]

20. what is your wol's best quality? what's the thing that they do that really gets stuff done of makes people like them? hard mode: their own perception vs. a friend or partner's perception.

pre-dawntrail wol questions

ty sophie!! 💚

20. what is your wol's best quality? what's the thing that they do that really gets stuff done or makes people like them? hard mode: their own perception vs. a friend or partner's perception.

in her own perception, it’s her protectiveness. she’s so full of compassion for others and would do anything to keep them safe, whether it’s her close loved ones or the realm, and people do feel comforted around her because of it.

and people would def agree with that, too, but to others who know her well, it’s also her stubborn willingness to see things through and keep her promises, how she always wants to help and never gives up even if the odds are against her.

[zylphiacrowley]

8 and 11 for the pre-dawntrail questions !!

8. how good is your wol at taking care of their armor/clothes? do they mend them themself? pay to gave it fixed? just change it when it gets old?

Caring for his belongings kind of falls into the survival skills that his dad taught him at an early age. He can mend most things himself unless it's heavy armor (which is part of the reason why he rarely wears heavy armor in the first place). He joined the armorer's guild in hopes of bridging the gap in his knowledge but he's still not like... good at it, but hey, at least he's made far more talented friends in the guild so he can ask them for help.

11. where was your wol during the last calamity? how did it make them feel? did it change their life, and if yes, for better or for worse?

Oh! This one I only just recently started thinking about! That being said, it's very much still an "in-flux" part of his backstory so... subject to change* Anyway, X'vahl was actually in Radz-at-Han at the time and the last calamity is what brought him back to Gridania. It was supposed to just be a pit stop on his way back to Gyr Abania but he ended up getting caught up helping people in the Twelveswood (truth be told he was also dragging his feet back to Gyr Abania since he was trying to figure out how to approach the people he wanted to see there anyway). Ultimately it changed his life for the... alright? He's doing okay now and he wouldn't undo his decisions if he could especially after learning that he wouldn't have found the people he was looking for by then even if he did manage to make it back there.

Thank you for the asks~!
