#fayth rambles

[treatbuckywkisses]

[mishyoona]

The difference between Yuna accepting the fayth's offer to re-summon Tidus and torpedo her progress in dealing with her grief (gif'd above), and the "sad" ending where she finally reaches the acceptance stage and runs off to live her life (gif'd below), is incredibly well done.

I made a writing sideblog. @miraclegel. for general writing rambles and struggles as well as specific fic talk. will probably also reblog writing-related memes, resources, prompts, etc. from time to time. no read mores we kill your dash like assholes. just unfiltered bullshit.

not really expecting much of anyone to be interested, but if for some reason you are, it's there.

─── we say goodbye to all that was

tag: fayth's aftermath fic

my primary fic. as the tag loosely suggests, it is a rape aftermath and recovery fic that focuses on noctis. it is a very in-depth slow build of a fic, set in brotherhood era when noct is sixteen, and will cover a year of time. there is ignoct, but it remains secondary for a huge portion of the fic.

I have been writing this fic in earnest since november 2019, with breaks here and there. currently there are 62 chapters completed, with 650k+ words. however, it is undergoing a rewrite that is over halfway through so far, and nothing new will be added until that is finished. I do expect this to be at least 1mil by the time it is done. sob.

this fic is not yet posted anywhere.

─── not yet titled

tag: fayth's lost fic

my secondary fic. a fic that was inspired by quartzguts' fic Lost Signal. it is my take on the very basic premise of noct being kidnapped and taken out of insomnia, whereupon his captors are killed by an accident and he must struggle through the lucian countryside for the next several days to find his way back home. it is set in brotherhood era when noct is fourteen, and will feature plenty of whump. it is tentatively intended to be a genfic.

I started this fic in may 2024, and it is currently fully plotted/outlined with one chapter written. no estimated chapter or word length at this point, though I don't expect it to be a longfic.

this fic is not yet posted anywhere.

─── not yet titled

tag: fayth's college au fic

my tertiary fic. as the tag makes clear, it will be a college au fic. however, rather than the meet-cute type fics that much of the trope is filled with, this is intended to be a coming of age fic instead. it will be au with no magic or royalty, but it will still be set in insomnia/eos and there are as many parallels as possible to canon relationship dynamics and character backgrounds.

for example, rather than the car carrying an eight year old noct home from the palace gardens being attacked by a daemon sent by niflheim, it is instead t-boned by another driver when noct is heading home from the aquarium on his eighth birthday, resulting in his same canon injuries. regis won't be king, but he'll own a very successful business with clarus and be rich and powerful as fuck (but still nice/a good guy, because a very self-indulgent fuck you to reality). noct and ignis will still wind up childhood friends since toddlers, with gladio being there but not befriending them until they're a little older.

as this is not my main focus right now, currently this fic mostly just has background lore and other bits and bobs developed for it. there is the tiny beginnings of an outline for the first couple of chapters, but nothing more than that. it will alternate between noct's pov and ignis' pov and eventually be ignoct, with background promptio and lunyx. they both will be struggling with a variety of issues as well as the collapse of their friendship that happened before the fic begins.

this fic is not yet posted anywhere.

Spira's Archives

Maechen: Shall I tell you about the Spira of days long past, eh?

Maechen: There is a legend, you know. Just before the horrible Sin appeared…a terrible war raged between Bevelle and Zanarkand. When the armies of Bevelle attacked Mount Gagazet, they heard a song echoing across the snowy slopes. “‘Tis a song from an otherworld,” they said. The soldiers panicked and ran. And then, as if to pursue the retreating armies, Sin appeared! Some time later, scouts from Bevelle braved the mountain. On the other side, they witnessed the ruins that had been Zanarkand. The city destroyed. Not a single soul left standing. Gone! In its place, a multitude of the fayth had gathered on Gagazet. They were singing a song. It’s the song we now call the “Hymn of the Fayth.” And that, as they say, is that. Well…maybe not all of it.

¬Maechen: Would you like to hear the rest?

Maechen: Rumors flew in Bevelle about Sin’s sudden appearance. They said that the people of Zanarkand became the fayth, that they had called Sin. And that the man responsible…was none other than the summoner Yevon, ruler of Zanarkand! Yes, the lord father of Lady Yunalesca. On the eve of Zanarkand’s destruction, Lady Yunalesca… had fled to safety with her husband, Zaon. Later, the two used the Final Summoning to defeat Sin. Yet the people of Bevelle still feared Yu Yevon. It was to quell his wrath that they revered him, and first spread his teachings. And so were born the temples of Yevon. I suppose it’s possible Yunalesca had planned it that way from the start! A fair trade, she defeats Sin in exchange for her lord father’s honor. Of course, there’s no proof. No, the facts are lost in the mists of time. And who’d admit Yevon was an enemy of Bevelle? You can bet the temples had a hand in covering that one up! And that, as they say, is that.

¬Maechen: Like to hear more, would you?

Maechen: Let me tell you about the Hymn of the Fayth. It was once a Zanarkand song, sung in defiance of Bevelle! Of course, the Yevon clergy of Bevelle forbade it. Then, as these things often go, those who disliked Yevon began to sing it. The Al Bhed, for instance. The Hymn of the Fayth became the symbol of defiance against Yevon. Yevon could do nothing but capitulate. They lifted the ban on the song, and spread a new story. They said the hymn was a song sung to soothe the souls of the dead. And so saying, they took the song and made it scripture. That’s why today, the hymn is sung all over Spira. You could say that, though Zanarkand is gone from this world, it lives on in the song. Aaaah, but look at the time. I’ve rambled on again. I do love stories, you see. Well, I owe you my gratitude for hearing this old scholar out.

[froliginal]

Just gonna ramble on abt my thoughts on ffx it’ll be incoherent as usual

I really wish I didn’t play the game sporadically bc I don’t remember a lot of the lore which actually seems pretty interesting. Like I could not tell you what a fayth or aeon is… which is kinda bad I have the memory of a goldfish clearly.

The characters are def a strong point here. I do like the cast although some do become less important story-wise but I feel like that’s pretty common. Rikku’s definitely my favorite character I just love how bubbly and caring she is. I think her introduction to the group was kinda stilted (Tidus just being like I found a stray!) but she carved a place for herself so well that I can overlook that lol. Auron was also a great character, and honestly kinda flipped my expectations bc I thought he would be the most traditional one out of the group bc he had that anything’s fine just continue your pilgrimage attitude, but then you find out that he’s the one that was the most opposed to the final summoning on his journey. Is auron and jecht doomed yaoi? I think he just confirmed that I like mentor characters cuz I think he’s like the 4th or 5th one I liked so far. Tidus and yuna are so precious. I just like to think about how yuna started her journey knowing and accepting that she was going to die, then tidus found out that no he’s going to “die.”

Ik this came out before Xenoblade but the story just reminds me so much of it. The obvious one being tidus’s “alive” state and shulk’s, but the storyline reminded me so much of xc3. Eternal cycle that only creates more death, culture around sending people off, the protagonist’s group basically being the beacon of hope, and the final boss being a concept lol. And the whole machina war and being against the machina??? Bro??? Xc1??? The people of bionis basically hating and fearing machina/mechonis??? Oh and the yu yevon fight was on a giant sword… mechonis sword… hehe

That being said I’m not sure if I want to replay the game. You can tell the game is dated and no I’m not talking abt the graphics I literally play Nintendo games idgaf abt graphics. The UI is unintuitive, personally I didn’t find most of the music to be that great, the battles are kinda slow (this might be a skill issue lol), and the constant random encounters are a pain. You might be like how do you hate wild encounters when I play pokemon but you only encounter them in specific areas and also repels are available pretty early on. I really should have explored and backtracked more because clearly I missed many items which I did think hinder me a bit (I’m sorry kimahri). I’m not really a huge fan of the sphere grid either. I didn’t get any of the celestial weapons and didn’t get anima bc I missed the besaid sphere. And I didn’t know you could backtrack before the ship so uh yeah I got locked out. I also found no jecht spheres lmao.

Although I rlly do like how well they wrote jecht’s relationships bc even without those extra memories, I was still able to understand and feel invested in his relationships with tidus and auron. I think jecht and tidus have an interesting relationship but that’s just bc I like family drama esp ones involving problematic dads. I loved the ending cutscene where tidus sees braska and auron and then high fives jecht.

I think the story will def hit different if I play it again with all this context in mind, but again I’m not sure if I want to at least any time soon 😅

Overall 6.5-7/10

Forgot to add: I hate seymour he had way too much screen time. Thank god we kicked him and the other cockroaches out of power

HI I MISS U ❤️

plsssss don't hate me for the back & forth

[noxtivagus]

good morning i didn't sleep 🤍

[sevi007]

Really struggling with figuring out what kind of background that Auron Portrait should have.

If I could just visualize something that screams "Farplane", "To Zanarkand" and everything that makes his story so wonderful and tragic, and that all at once - now THAT would be great.

[treatbuckywkisses]

maybe its because those people actually know how others deserve to be treated and want to stick up for their friends who are receiving hate for no reason. there's no need to be rude at all honestly so yeah people are gonna clap back. seriously you shouldn't be dishing it out at all but especially shut the fuck up if you can't take it when it's directed at you. everyone deserves love and kindness. you never know what's going on in someone's life so you can't know how rude and hateful shit will affect them. if you don't like something you can choose to not see shit like that again. you can unfollow or block. what does being rude and indecent towards someone do for you. what do you get out of it. attention from people "attacking" you? you're hiding behind an anonymous feature that can be taken away in seconds and I guarantee you the hate would *magically* disappear. because you can only bully someone if you have somewhere to hide. please stop being mean to people. you're in control of your own blog and dash. so shut the fuck up and do something other than be a sad human being.

Its pretty pathetic how you get hate or another blog gets hate and the same people attack the anon for simply stating their opinion. Its always the same group of people who have no damn business attacking an anon.

Well, I think it’s pretty pathetic that people get on anon and attack blogs for no apparent reason.

They aren’t “stating an opinion” they’re being cunts. If you scroll through my tumblr and find the nastiest, meanest anon, I can promise that there is one where said group of people have seen but I never posted and it was brutal.

So, please, explain where it is okay for an anon to attack a blog but not for them to receive the same energy????

[zanarkandfayth]

fuck you bronchitis, I’m writing fic anyways and you can’t stop me!! >:( 42K and one scene left, yeah! I will have this fic finished and the first chapter up by the end of the month even if it literally kills me!

[liikeglitterandgcld]

i’ve been humming the Hymn of the Fayth all day (er yesterday) to the where i got paine and noctis humming along—the latter for a related to an ask :>

[braskide]

outofcharacter. i probably have been thinking about this long enough & i’ve said it once but i just got reminded of it so here goes. 

i’ve always thought that yuna’s aeons are her children in a way. from the very first scene she gets with valefor you can see the tenderness in the way she just goes over without any fear to caress him. that always gets me --- the fact that everyone is in awe / shock / perhaps fear in the background meanwhile she’s just proud of it, and you can tell right away she promises herself right there & then that she’ll love them until her very last breath. 

and then there’s the final battle that only proves my point. as each aeon gets summoned & gets slain, she is more in pain. she visibily looks like she cannot do it for good, cannot just kill them ( even though the fayth themselves tell her that it is okay, that they want to help her, they want to beat yu-yevon together ) & yes, it is not really them in that moment, but she’s in so much pain.

i also firmly believe those will be the only children she’ll be able to ever have. she even had to face them again after they were believed to be gone for good --- she knows those will forever be her only children.
