New MSQ means our girl deserves a new glam

[thebmatt]

tis is the oldest photo I have of the Old Man. Yeah, he was a Roegadyn. I also gave him that terrible haircut intentionally. I didn’t expect I’d enjoy this game so much.

But I did. And when I enjoy a game where I create my own character, I start giving them elaborate backstories. And having him be a Roegadyn wasn’t quite fitting.

So I changed him

This is him now. Yeah he’s kind of a Godbert clone, but that’s the best way I could find to make a good looking older Hyur.

This is the oldest screenshot I have of Rheika. She actually began life as Dahkar, who I changed to a miqo’te on a challenge I gave to myself to fantasia as another race for a month. That month came and went and I loved her so much that I kept her as one. This is when the 4-WoL canon I developed that I still have today came about.

This is my newest screenshot of her, and it shows the only change I’ve made to her, which is trying out this haircut.

Speaking of Dahkar, here is his earliest screenshot. Nothing much, just my first attempts at using Gpose. As you can see, I am bad at it at this point!

And this is my last one of Dahkar before I changed him to Rheika. Back when he was the canon red mage. Nothing changed about him at all in terms of his looks.

I would really like to recreate him someday, if for no other reason than to do more screenshots, but I haven’t had the mental bandwidth to level the whole of the MSQ (again) or the spare funds to boost him through it with his three canon jobs.

This is the first screenshot I took of Fearless, who was the last person on the team I came up with, shortly after entering Limsa for the first time

And this is her now. As you can see, I changed her hair, both cut and color, and gave her the black eye stripe. After deciding to make her a Black Mage, I wanted to try and change her look up a bit, and I settled on this. Most of her outfits now incorporate a fair amount of black

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!

Aleister and Gwen chose not to have children in their first life on Azeroth. Having lived in a time where multiple wars happened, they witnessed far too many friends and neighbors send their children off to the fight and never return home. Having children in such a time of never ending warfare seemed cruel. Becoming undead for who knows how long obviously made that impossible.

Now that they live again having traveled to another universe, one now safe from the major world ending threat, they have talked about the subject. The major problem is that Gwen has been made a Viera. She has no idea if she has the longer Viera lifespan or if the change is merely cosmetic and her lifespan is more akin to a hyurs. If it’s the former, she has no idea how it might affect the offspring they might produce. Trying to answer those questions has been delayed somewhat by the journeys to the Thirteenth, along with not really being certain how to collect data on this, especially since no one outside the core Scions is supposed to be aware they aren’t native to this universe.

Dahkar and Yugiri’s relationship is too new for them to have discussed having children. Yugiri would very much love to have them with Dahkar one day. For his part, Dahk is a bit fearful, having grown up without his father, he feels far too unprepared with no one to emulate.

Fearless would love to have children with her soon-to-be wives one day, but the question of how that would work hasn’t really been discussed between them. The fact that none in her adopted homeland is supposed to be aware of her relationship with Makoto and Ranaa complicates matters. For now she is focused on their future wedding.

Rheika does not want her own children but is entirely too happy at the prospect of being the hella cool aunt.

Feel free to share more details about why! Love reading other ppls character lore! :3

Eras Tour Opening Night . . . ⭐️

[stalkerish]

if glee was still on they would have an episode where everyone fails to get tickets to the eras tour so the glee club puts on The Eras Tour (Glee Club Version)

[thebmatt]

So….who’s gonna give job to their WoLs?

(in headcanon I mean I know we’re all gonna play it)

Whatever the caster is I’ll probably have Dahkar pick it up cause he’s the only one without one.

Based on the vibes of this trailer my immediate thought is to give it to Rheika. It seems to fit her overall better than Ninja does. The others have a melee job more strongly tied to their stories and identities.

FINAL FANTASY XIV: DAWNTRAIL - New Job: Viper

Fearless before

Fearless after.

I was cleaning up her retainer inventory and found the two free fantasias. My cohost on A Podcast Reborn recently temporarily fantasia’d his own main, so I decided to come up with something to use mine for.

I decided I’d play through the 6.1-6.3 MSQ as another race, and let a few folks from our Discord decide exactly what.

They picked Elezen. I had the character model data for Veilette saved, so I used that. She looks lovely.

Eras Tour Imagery - Fearless/evermore transition

The gold glitter of the Fearless set transforms into water droplets.

The water droplets give way to a scene of ice melting on leaf-covered ground. The leafs we see are red and orange in color.

We see more images of ice melting. Here, it's icicles on a ledge or a roof.

A forest is revealed, and it appears to be sunrise. Trees start to emerge from the stage.

The forest scene is set with the stage beginning to be enveloped by fog and an orange glow.

Interpretation:

This is possibly my favorite transition on the tour. Not only because evermore is my favorite album, but because I think the transition is very revealing.

The transition begins with the motif of ice melting on ground, which brings to mind early springtime. To me this feels wrong when you first remember evermore was released in December. So shouldn't the snow be falling? I think the melting, the thawing could have more to do with what evermore represents. A thawing out of certain feelings, or the idea of transitioning to something new. Evermore has both of those themes. Returning to an old lover, and becoming ready to step to the next phase of your life. Taylor has also used the theme of being frozen and frozen ground multiple times in her songs.

"My, my love had been frozen" (Dancing With Our Hands Tied)

"This has frozen my ground" (hoax)

"A red rose grew up out of ice frozen ground" (the lakes)

"He's got my past frozen been glass" (it's time to go)

"Did you ever hear about the girl who got frozen?" (right where you left me)

"Soldier down on that icy ground" (The Great War)

Is the real Taylor slowly unfreezing? Is her muse, her love thawing out with her?

The denotation of springtime also sets us up to go on a journey through time during the evermore set. As we will see in the next songs, the scene continually changes until we have reached winter.

The red leafs on the ground also spark thought of Red the album. Very autumnal vibes. At first glance it makes sense that autumn leafs are being revealed under the snow in spring. But another connection to the Red album, which Taylor keeps pointing us back to (e.g. the Wildest Dreams glitch video). Is the Red muse becoming unfrozen? Autumn leaves were also seen under the willow tree in the Willow music video and all over the Spotify Global Top Artist image.

In the forest, we see that it's sunrise. The dawn of a new day. We saw the addition of daylight in the new Lover house, and we see it here too. "But the monsters turned out to be just trees/When the sun came up, you were looking at me."

The trees the come out the stage are interesting. They look most similar to Mediterranean cypress trees because of the smaller diameter and the height of the trees. There are some on the screen in the very foreground as well. Mediterranean cypress have symbolism for mourning, cemeteries, and the underworld. They are also linked to Roman goddess Diana. "I'd meet you where the spirit meets the bones/In a faith-forgotten land."
