🎆 happy moonfire faire! 🎆

excellent news, the boys are back this year!

i just love seeing them around 🥰 emmie fell off of this year's nimble warrior course rip king 🥰 does this setup imply sicard was watching from the bottom the whole time? did sicard jump off when he saw emm fell just to bully him? did sicard finish his trip to the top and make his way all the way back down and emm simply just hasn't gotten up yet? every option is delightful

another thing id like to document:

they have matching tattoos, so jot that down,

YOU 🫵 believe in the dancer emmanellain agenda

reasons why emmanellain de fortemps should transition to dancer as his primary class [several points about the implications for him and sicard at the end]

CANONICALLY emmanellain is very very good at dancing (normal) is it really that hard for him to start dancing (with blades). he would be so good at it he already knows the moves and the vibes

a lot of emmanellain's struggles come with feeling the pressure of being put into a box he does not fit! he's seen as a failure because people didn't see or didn't care about the things he is good at! the firmament quests show he IS good at making allies, he's friends with the redbills, he helped lighten the mood in broken glass! he's great in a social scene, he's perfect for lightening a mood, and i must stress he is CANONICALLY very good at dancing

he HAS grown as a knight, and i'm very proud of my cringefail baby brother, but i think it would be very healing for him to branch out from ishgard and heavy armor to pick up something more freeing (and also he should come to tural with us emmanellain dt sweep)

i could see him fitting in great with the dancer quests

please god we need more PHYSRANGED CHARACTERS in the msq,,,,, ephemie and aenor cockburne i owe you my life,,,, and they are BOTH bards,,,,,,,,, pls the archer to paladin pipeline is ruining the economy and i need dancer and machinist rep

tangentially related YOU 🫵 want emmanellain and sicard to join the b team scions it would be good enrichment for them

emmanellain in neo-ishgardian top of aiming. emmanellain in the lunar envoy aiming gear. emmanellain with the ivalice hairstyle so he still has that hair popping up but he can wear the pretty endwaker dancer relic gear bow. emmanellain happy and spinning around in thavnairian armlets. consider this

okay time to talk about sicard

CANONICALLY emmanellain steals sicard's clothes. sicard wears aiming gear. they could share aiming outfits and emmanellain could wear his boyfriend's pretty v neck into battle instead of the full coverage fortemps armor are you seeing the image

can you imagine how much worse (better) emmsic would be if they were ranged dps boyfriends

overwriting your boyfriend's tactician with shield samba in front of the whole party to prove you're more useful is a love language

sicard walking into the dungeon ready to tease emm about picking him as his dance partner only for emmanellain to dp the tank

:> what's wrong why are you making that face?

i...... i'm dps........... i thought i was dance partner >:(

dps stands for dance partner sicard i cracked the code

sicard feels slighted by this and suddenly starts eating food and using potions from his hotbar and he has the perfect opener to show off how competent he is because he thrives in competition

imagine this. post island sanctuary conversation about responsibility both of them decide to pick up Jobs [tm]. they have a break between contracts and when they meet it's clear that sicard spent some time in ishgard with ilsabard contingent friend stephanivien and got a machinist starter kit and it's clear that emmanellain went to limsa and almost ran away with a traveling dancer troupe

me and my boyfriend and his new six foot tall robot gun mermaid is this anything

thank you for coming to my ted talk vote emmanellain de fortemps for new job change into dancer

✨ilsabard contingent appreciation post✨

why do we not talk about the ilsabard contingent more!!! absolutely the steppe trio is great, bard boys are great, emmsic is great, it's delightful to see all these beloved characters and job npcs, but today i want to talk about two specific dynamics not discussed enough visible in just the first cutscene of the contingent and arrival at broken glass

sicard, alka, and broenbhar

i completely missed this the first time i got here because there was so much to be excited by, but on my second playthrough i have been just so delighted to see them interacting

here's sicard randomly shadowboxing broenbhar and doing push ups in the middle of the room surrounded by strangers before he is personally introduced

here's alka laughing at sicard being embarrassed

alka and broenbhar maraudering together

alka after asking broenbhar for advice. i just. they're having a great time work hard play hard!!!

✨ ✨ ✨

emmanellain and stephanivien

listen. listen. there are three (3) fics in the emmanellain & stephanivien tag on ao3 and they are all written by me. we need to talk about them more!!!

live ishgardian reaction to aforementioned sicard doing push ups in the middle of this room

he is literally hiding behind steph before and after his twinkle toed gentleman of light moment. my brother in halone you are a tank, steph's tits will not protect you

also ive hit the post photo limit but steph is smiling in the background when emmanellain has his moment :> they spend so much of the time in the contingent hanging out working on the heaters! they grew up across ths street from each other! they probably aren't as close as they are with some of the others, but i know in my heart that emmanellain looks up to steph as someone who is so unashamed to be himself regardless of what their social circles think of them

looking at these, i am just. imagining them getting into hijinks when they were younger, and steph would hide emm and take the blame when they got caught. thinking about steph fostering emmanellain's openness and cheerfulness when haurchefant moved to dragonhead and ishgard froze over and house fortemps was just so cold and quiet

i just love the ilsabard contingent and all the little relationships in it so much!!! you agree. you want to make content about the ilsabard contingent soooo bad. is this working is this thing on
