#ffxiv Levraut

[candycryptids]

IT IS FINISHED !!!!!! Character splashes for the Main 7 and a bonus 2 from the side squad (Gemmini and Malta)

These were a lot of fun (and work, but less hard once I had the base template set up) and I think I managed to nail down their vibe without a bunch of letters ;v;'

Also; all the images here were taken by me! With the exception of Tangy, who uses the Mother Crystal image from the Wiki, Mochiie, who uses an HD image of the Eorzean world map, and Ishi’li, who uses a background from The World Ends With You. I even got my own job icon transparencies by taking pictures of the stickers on a black background and cutting them out

[candycryptids]

Khorloo prefers to observe- from a distance. A great distance. Watching people live out their day to day lives….

featuring.. featuring... a lot of people... so many people... uhm... under a cut! With closeups!

FEATURING- from @cindernet-exploded , Shyssa, U’nia, A’vyra, Oketra, and Itself!

Ris from @this-is-ris

E-Nishka from @e-nishka-aosh

Flidais from @selnyam

Verbaros from @cerbaros

Percy from @sealrock

Ashe from @gatheredfates

X’vahl and Lyra from @zylphiacrowley

ALSO Lizzy from @lizzy-calaxio (she’s there I swear….😭 I didn’t get to focus on her a!)

Keathan from @dustedbooksandreadingnooks

Aaand there’s a Wind-up Kea to be spotted, from @nhaneh

And also my self insert is there OvO and Lev, Sasha [Krystdraga] and Ishi’li from myself… uwu

I’m pretty sure that’s everybody @v@ but I will update this with MORE tags if I find out I missed people 😤

Oh also the teensy blue bird is named Zaya…

This all happened cos I wanted to pose people watching in a tree…. But there was like, no people at all? Not even a little bit? So I gathered as many people as I could find publicly available and then kinda, Scrimbled them around as little as possible because 25 actors is a LOT of. It’s a lot of everything. Don’t do that.

Also why the hell does that tree sway 😭😂😂😂 [oh my god there’s a tag limit of 30]

[candycryptids]

Night Out In Solution 9

There's a braincell but Keathan's the only one with it, and they're tired. Everyone's split up to go find more people, though! Wonder who they'll find....

>Follow Ishi'li? >Follow Khorloo? >Follow Tangy? >Follow Keathan? >Follow Levraut? >Follow Chuu?

This post is a work in progress and will be updated with links to future posts as I make them! Please look forward to it :3

Keathan (They/She/He) belongs to @dustedbooksandreadingnooks Shout out also to the [FFXIV Dialogue Maker] + [Speech Bubble Maker]

If my computer explodes because I decided to pose more than 18 actors then so fuckin be it

ALSO this whole thing was inspired by [This Comic]

[candycryptids]

I DID IT! Group shot with the squad. :3 Closeups and sillies under the cut! Posing so many actors is always a challenge especially all touching/close together but I think I nailed it with all the little details and everything ^u^

From left to right it's- Chuu, Levraut (in red), Colette, Tangy, Ishi'li (Miqo'te), Mochiie, and Tuesday

Lev I think has gotten more comfortable- maybe too comfortable? Tangy thinks it's a riot and he's just trying to make sure Chuu doesn't isolate herself too much. and. Also laying across Colettes lap is a bonus...

The fellas are having some sorta group reading! I have no idea what book this is- maybe it's something Lev wrote about the WoL's? Or maybe it's a story from back in Thavnair that Mochiie read growing up- either way I think they're having a good time :3

Hey, who's that in the tank...?

Sir Cash doesn't know how to help anybody in trouble xD Looks like I'll be sleeping with the fishes for the foreseeable future... good thing I've got the Kojin's blessing? (Or do I o.o)

Day 1 of Glamtober! - On The Road

Full prompt list for Glamtober [Here]

Nothin better than some sturdy knee-thigh length boots for the dusty roads in Thanalan! And the Leonhart Jacket is a staple in Lev’s wardrobe- sleeves to keep the sun off his arms and a fur trim for when it’s chilly in the night. And he hardly ever takes off his Gloves; a must-have barrier for touching things with the scars on his hands. Who knows if it’s going to be too hot or too cold to touch? Not Lev!

Lucky him, he’s hitching a ride to Horizon :)

Levraut is wearing; Leonhart Jacket (wine red, goobbue grey) Leonhart Gloves Replica Dreadwyrm Slops of Scouting (soot black) Anemos Expeditionary Boots

Redbill Scarf

Shader is [Fairy- Autumn Day]

[candycryptids]

The Gangs all here! From left to right we got Levraut, Colette, Tangy (lower) Ishi’li (upper), Mochiie, Tuesday, and Chuusday. This was a little mind melting to work out with so many actors, and wanting to capture a bit of everyone’s general energy in so doing even if some of these guys never actually interact XD

There’s another angle+closeups under the cut

Lev has like -6 rizz but on purpose, he thinks flirting with women is A Manly Thing To Do and getting to second or even first base isn’t even the goal. Colette isn’t giving a singular fuck and claiming space, and also making sure Tangy isn’t flashing everybody her shorts. Tangy is delighted to be here with all her friends, Ishi is thriving, her skin is clear, crops watered, etc. peace sign! Mochi is feelin a lil overwhelmed but trying to look nice for the camera, Tuesday is vibing and mentally planning dinner while trying to look nice for the camera no matter what else is going on, and Chuu is pondering the immortality cycle of the crab.

Also this was taken in Ishi’s house in the Lavender Beds uwu! The shader is Neneko’s Essence (Gameplay version)

[candycryptids]

Lets see if i can phrase this correctly.

Which of your characters are more likely to cook for a group of people and which ones will wait for someone to cook for them?

Ok so this feels like it should be a scale…..

So to elaborate under the cut;

Vel has like a small crowd of children he’s taking care of. Feeding a crowd is second nature- especially on limited ingredients and picky palettes. Everyone feels better with food in their belly.

Mochiie is an adventurer and often somehow ended up the guy maintaining whatever perpetual stews or making the call to stop for lunch- and then feeding everyone. He likes cooking! He likes baking and sharing the kitchen with others. It’s bonding ok.

Tuesday CAN cook but can’t necessarily eat, but he loves to be helpful/of use. Usually someone else steps up to the plate of cooking first, so he takes a kitchen assistant role. Is also the guy you can count on to drive to pick up food to save the delivery fee (or even hit multiple restaurants. What a guy 😭✨)

Tangy can almost cook but probably shouldn’t be trying to feed more than herself- her creations can end up somewhat peculiar and niche in both texture and taste; but SHE likes eating them, so there’s no harm in letting her feed herself.

Tag isn’t like, a super remarkable cook but between him and his twin he has a little more skill in making something stretch to feed an unexpected amount of people. Like turning 2 eggs and a handful of random veg and leftover cuts into a meal for 6 or whatever.

Ishi’li CAN cook, but Kizuna does it so often and enjoys it so much more that they’re kinda just “kitchen company” instead. And they like it that way!

Khor doesn’t have a ton of passion for cooking (he enjoys mixology! That’s different though.) so he can cook for people in a pinch but he’s not his own first choice. A meal for many made by him would hit the basics (meat/grain/veg) and probably be satisfying, but like…. Yknow. It’s no egg sandwich from the Bismarck.

Lev can cook eggs. And roast meat! And probably make some other simple meals….. but he wouldn’t enjoy the pressure or workload of trying to cook for a group.

Colette would rather snack on something or order takeout instead of cooking. That’s someone else’s job. Hand her a bag of Doritos.

Gemmini is also the sort to just get take out…… but it’s like hot rollers from the gas station. Everyone pick out and pay for their own meat tubes ok :/ she’s getting a hotdog with shredded carrot and onion and sriracha and honey.

And finally, below even the text…..

Chuu literally created a robot (Tuesday) to cook for her. She doesn’t cook. She will starve if her MRE’s/Archon Loaf is out. Or chips. Like. She just won’t eat hot food if someone else doesn’t put in the effort to make it for her lmao.

Why are Vel and Gem + the Geneq twins on this list…? Cos I had ideas for em lmfao.

Who’s Vel? That’s a wild question. Isn’t it past your bedtime? Hes currently technically under re-construction along with all 5 of his kids, being a single father with your deceased friends children is painge. Technically, took Tangy in for a while pre-start of ARR.

[candycryptids]

A bright and sunny future for a lad and his faithful companion, who... he's still a bit of a chonk... with bad manners... but they're an inseparable pair uvu

Shader is [KORE's Strange Flower] from the [Blushing Presets]

[candycryptids]

Levraut fishes up what is CLEARLY a cursed artifact. Like the kind of cursed that'd take Y'shtola and Urianger half an expansion to figure out how to deal with it.

Who would he try to give it to with a big ole smile and a "Oh I just thought of you when I found this" ?

[as a mild aside I love this ask so much I might gpose something for it later because it made me laugh]

So there’s two options to this- and both are equally possible, so just think of it as a place where the timeline splits 😂

The first one is handing it off to Kizuna who he thought of immediately as being just the sort of Hero to deal with the sort of mess a cursed artifact comes with. Perhaps it would be of use during his battles to come? Who knows- Kizuna’s Eaten Voidsent several times in the past so hopefully the worst case is he slurps it dry, and it’s just a cool definitely not cursed trinket that doesn’t pulse under your fingertips like it has a lifeblood of its own.

Lev needed it out of his own hands asap though. It was whispering to him. Shapes curling in the corners of his vision. Out on the water he saw what he thought was a ship, lantern dangling as an inviting beacon. So why did it have fins, the glint of teeth poking out of the water at the bow? “Hail, sailor,” it calls, “come hither, cast off the dingy, we’re stranded, we can pay you handsomely, and more,”

Anyways. Get rid of it.

Or! He gives it to Tangy- an orange cat who would probably appreciate this sort of thing. Some sorta gauntlet, mysteriously lacking corrosion from its time under the waves. When he’d hauled it up, it had been grasping at the lure. Yet it pried away easily, like it was meant to be held. To be worn.

‘Much too big for my hands, though,’ a voice unfamiliar in his mind murmurs.

“Here, you seem the sort what would really ‘preciate this sorta find,” he declares, presenting this glove, washed clean of the salt and wrapped in soft cloth. To Tangy, his new made friend, made in the Rising Stones. She’d just been complaining her hands had hurt from using them bare to fight. Surely a glove would be a welcome gift.

Certainly, he was not guided into her path, a gullible, stupid girl, who slides the gauntlet on like a perfect glove with a bright and too-toothy smile. “Oh I LOVE IT!” She squeals, and then she goes off to crush another Garlean squadron that was patrolling too near for comforts.

The gauntlet tries to whisper, to probe, to control, manipulate, but Tangy brushes it off. ‘Thats not very nice,’ she tells it once, when it had suggested that if the merchant was going to insult her she should show him her full might, demand respect.

‘I’m not going to waste food like that,’ she stubbornly defies it again later, when it urges her to pour boiling hot soup into someone’s lap after an off-handed comment about Moenbryda rubbed raw wounds of all seated.

She polishes this glove, gives it a place of high honor (right next to her bedside table!) and even has a replica made for her other hand. Too stubborn to be manipulated. It gives up, eventually, resigned to its fate of being wasted

Sometimes it tries to call to others; Thancred, Urianger, Y’shtola, Ishi’li- never Keathan, who would smite it before it could take hold.

Someday she’ll slip up, and perhaps some other hand will slide into that welcoming embrace, and it will renew its efforts to overtake, consume, throttle, command, Rise.

Anyways Kizuna + Keathan belong to @dustedbooksandreadingnooks and this was really fun to answer MWAH

[candycryptids]

beep beep QUESTION TIME!!!

what are each of your characters' favorite minion(s) and why? 👀

Bet you weren’t expecting SCREENSHOTS!!!! BAM…!! (I was trying to get into cozy town so these are speed-shots LOL it was a fun pseudo challenge gettin em all done in under an hour)

Chuu’s favorite Minion is the Toy Alexander: a moving mini replica of the time traveling Machine-God? and it’s kinda hot? It’s one of the few machines she didn’t build herself but only because Cid and the Ironworks rushed to do it before she could, fearing the features she’d put into a tiny war machina-Primal. It’s like an action figure to her. It’s set a hilarious precedent though, and she’s still waiting for her Miniature G-Warrior. Chop chop Garlond!

Tuesday’s favorite minion is Gigi, after he has a long talk with Keathan and he retires the Haurchefant Mammet for a spell, worrying for the negative impact it was having on his mental state. He finds a lot of kinship with Gigi, though, being black mage machines. …… he’s a little worried about what misadventures the Inspector is going to get up to next time, though. And that scrawny elezen and his dog, who seemed to conveniently be away whenever the Elezen Inspector Briardien came around….

Nobody knows where that little baby Buffalo came from. Nobody stopped Tangy from scooping it up under her arm like a little purse dog and taking it with her when they moved to the Rising Stones, either. It’s just a little guy! She couldn’t leave it there all alone. What if something like a Pelican tried to eat it… also, it’s cute, and round, and the Rising Stones could use a Mascot anyways.

Ishi’s favorite minion- that isn’t one of his increasing clowder of kitten adoptee’s- is the Odder Otter! He ADORES silly little mascot like creatures, so he jumped at the chance to have a little pal of his own to come on adventures. It even has its own little lantern! He might just cry thinking about it. When he finds out about the Abroader Otter he’s going to become inconsolable. Lmao.

The OOC origin behind Colette’s baby bat is when her and Setsuna first set off on their journey together in Ul’Dah, a stranger came and pressed Bats into their possession. It was baffling, and funny. The IC origin is fuzzier, only that Setsuna and Colette have had them since they first started adventuring and they’re probably attuned to each other in some way. Either way, here’s Colette and aptly named ‘Bat’.

Mochiie refuses to let anything bad happen to little Ryunosuke. Which is why he makes sure the jacket is on snug and fully when it’s raining, so the chick doesn’t run risk of catching cold while they’re traveling together. He has the problem Ishi has with adopting cats, but with Chocobo chicks. He’s pretty sure Ryunosuke is some kinda Hingan Pygmy breed, meant for Nobles to keep in their estates and on display, prized for their docile, lap-loving nature and silky plumage. He doesn’t get on very well with Cindy, or Sandy, but that’s not a huge surprise; the girls are strong personalities, spoiled with attention, and bigger, older birds from a breed meant for Combat, not pets. Mindy tolerates Ryunosuke but only because she knows he would fit perfectly in her mouth if she so chose to, and Mochi would be extremely upset in her if she did.

Levraut’s favorite minion is. Naturally. Canonball :’3 the scrappy little wolf pup saved from the brink of starvation and then fed up, spoiled with plenty of attention and poor manners. He’s stolen a fair number of unsuspecting sandwiches… Lev is going to have to teach him the thieves code one of these days or they’re both going to get in trouble lol.

[shader for all is Neneko’s Gameplay Essence]

[candycryptids]

“And nobody’s been feedin’ him extra, right? No table scraps? So why’s that pup gettin’ to be so round…?”

“Not a clue! Besides, it’s not hurtin’ anything is it? He’s a growing dog!”

“Wolf, he’s a wolf, Lev. And if he gets any fatter he’s going to become a cannonball…”

[candycryptids]

😇- What's their best trait?

👿- What's their worst trait?

for Tuesday and Chuu

“Miss Chuu’s best trait? Mmm… You said this is an interview for your retelling of the Warriors of Light and their journey, right? I’d say it’s her unshakeable resolve. She decides she’s going to do something, and she doesn’t give up until it’s done. Ah… I’m not allowed to speak more on Miss Chuu without her presence, my apologies, mister Levraut.”

“You broke into my house,”

“Your lovely wife let me in actually,”

“To wake me up from my nap and interrogate me on my assistant,”

“Interview, Mademoiselle, not interrogate. Though I am sorry for waking you, your eyes were open so I assumed-”

“Ah-ta-ta. You wanted to know Two’s best trait right? Adaptability. Any environment, any obstacle… he’s got brains enough to figure the way through most anything. And failing that? He knows a top notch engineer in Magitek to kit him with the right tools to overcome his few shortcomings. Hey wait did you fucking call me a mad gazelle, you lop-eared scab?!”

“Thank you for your time, both of you. I have just one more question before I consider this interview complete and I let you both go back to your.. erm, busy schedules. What would you say is each others weakest trait?”

“I knew it! This IS an interrogation! Two, don’t-”

“Ah, that would be Miss Chuu’s paranoia, mister Levraut. Most of her other traits net positive gain,”

“Watch your mouth, Two.”

“That is.. ah, her paranoid trait has served to pull her out of many situations she would have landed in had they not afforded her foresight and caution to approach most situations.”

“Two’s worst trait is how I just can’t seem to keep mad at him when he finds and exploits loopholes in whatever rules I’ve set for him. And last week I asked him to bring me lunch, and he was nowhere to be seen for nearly six bells.”

“… Miss Chuu, if I may, you were in Azys La, and you called me via Linkpearl to bring you specifically egg sandwiches from the Bismark, even utilizing the Aethernet it takes time… and when I arrived at your last marked location you were nowhere to be found.”

[Duo Oc Ask Meme !]

[candycryptids]

Good morning (or good evening in your case I guess)! 🤭

Because you asked me about the theme songs: If you had to choose one for each of your OCs what would it be?

Goooood Morning! Or evening for you by now I think 🤔🥰 This’ll be easier for some than others B’3 (links will all be to YouTube videos hopefully!) thank you for the question this was a real thinker x3

So Levraut actually has a song we recently heard and went HOLY SHIT ITS LEV’S THEMESONG! Which would be [Creator, by Lena Raine] it has the mysterious suspense of the music box at the start, and then shifts into the cadence of something I associate with the Sea, which is something that sounds like Accordion ahaha (and then it further intensified with electric guitar, which isn’t usually in his soundscape, but it’s So Good)

[cut because… length again LOL]

For Tuesday I’d have to say my first choice is [Hello World, by Louie Zong] as far as songs that make me immediately associate with Tuesday lololol. The other song I have is [Waltz No. 2, Robot, by Hikaru Shirosu] it has, to me, the cadence of going shopping in a small market, but you’re still very ‘young’ in a sense, and small obstacles can feel like big obstacles 🫢 it’s also Piano, which is one of the instruments associated with Keathan! Who has a very heavy influence on Tuesday’s soundscape :3

For Chuusday…. Picking just one is rly hard… hm… it’s not on EITHER of her playlists I think, but [Home Beyond The Horizon by I think Masoyashi Soken and Daiki Ishikawa] Which is a song played on a crunchy, tinny radio. She’s not patriotic, but it was too large a part of her life for it to not have had some major impacts on her, lol. For a less/more serious song (???) I’d say [Hardware Store by Weird Al Yankovic]. It’s got. The vibe. LMAO.

Tangy is also hard to pin down, but I think [Fell In Love With A Girl, by White Stripes] does a pretty good job of suiting both the vibe and at least a Lil Bit the lyrics [because the first three lines remind me of Minfilia and Tangy :/ not that I ship them explicit romantic 100% of the time, but it coulda been. It coulda.]

🎤Fell in love with a girl

I fell in love once and almost completely

She's in love with the world🎵

Otherwise my other offering is When You Look At Her and it’s just playing [Cat Cafe by Tsundere Twintails] in her whole expression.

There’s not a particular song I can think of for Mochiie yet- I’ve been fighting that gorilla for a month or so now and I’m not much closer to victory yet, lmfao. However I do offer the song from [this post] because it reminds me Thavnair, so the real answer is I have a lot of music in Urdu I need to listen to and figure out his vibe LOL. I found the song in particular after scouring the notes though! Which is ->[Mehndi Laga Ke Rhakna, sung by Lata Mangeshkar and Udit Narayan] (I also need to figure out the influence the Azim Steppe had on him 🫢)

Ishi’li is… tricky. Cos I’m also still working on their playlist BDJDNFJDJFSK and the one song I’ve heard recently that made me think of him so so hard isn’t in the soundscape I’d set for them :T but. It’s rly Ishi.

[Like or Like Like by Miniature Tigers]

🎤I watched you get undressed

I must have turned bright red

'Cause I couldn't stand to face you

'Cause I liked what I saw

And maybe we should just be friends

Tell me how you feel about me

Do you like or like, like me?

Tell me what you really feel

Do you like me? Just say you do🎵

Swydghem actually has songs because I listened to a playlist on basically endless loop while writing so even though it’s Baldurs Gate [Down By The River composed by Borislav Slavov] always makes me think of her LOL… Solkmyna gets slightly more associated with [How The Tide Rushes In by Anne Dudley] Jojoha doesn’t have a particular soundscape yet because it overlaps with Levraut regularly😅 (at least in terms of; the Dreadnaughts, which is one of the bands I listen to for him lmao.)

Colette is my monster hunter/Ffxiv cross oc and while I haven’t really given her a whole lotta thought I think [I Want It All by Arctic Monkeys] could definitely fit her vibe, lol. She’s someone else on my to-do for music thoughts, just a little further down the line from Ishi and Mochi uvu;

Bonus!!! If you were wondering [Love Like You from Steven Universe] makes me think of Tuesday/Haurchefant. :’)

I hope you enjoy the music 🫶 lord knows there’s a bunch of it SHFJRJFEKCKSKXKA hopefully the color/bolding isn’t obnoxious, it makes it easier for my eyes to not glaze over if there’s variation lmao

[candycryptids]

👿- What's their worst trait?

eheheh >:) for whoever you feel it would be the most fun to answer!!

Firstly thank you for da ask ;w;!!! This was spicy because I’m actually going to talk about my husbands guy a little bit… and show y’all post ShB-semi-into-EW Ishi eheheehee- tho there’s a very very mild ShB spoiler so watch out!

“I appreciate you taking time out of your day to speak with me, and answering all the questions I’ve had concerning your journey and how you’ve felt through it all… Your insight into the first and your extensive knowledge of Feo Ul was quite interesting.”

“Mmhm, it’s been surreal recounting everything that happened, but at least SOMEBODY’s writing it down now.. And Their Majesty has made wielding scholastic magic much easier, since I can’t summon my own faerie normally. Are you sure you don’t want a cookie? They’re Kizuna’s da’s recipe, you know.”

“Ah, speaking of Kizuna… You two have started dating right? The two shining beacons of heroism and do-gooding-recklessly, surely you know better than anyone else what he’s like. We all know his good side, but what about the bad?”

“Eh???? EHHHH?? Where’d you get that idea?! D-dating… uhm… you’re not going to write that in your book right? That’s- that’s just speculation! Besides we’re not really public yet, Uhm, h-he’s really great, I can’t think of a bad trait, really, he can cook, he’s wicked with all kinds of weapons, he’s strong, and, handsome, he’s gentle with kids, and animals… He’s always trying his best, you know? Uh-uhm… he built his own house, in Ishgard-“

“I already know all about that, Ishi, I actually stopped by there last week to see if he was there. Besides. every Hero needs their tragic flaw, or they risk becoming as untouchable Gods in the mind of the people. So, give me something to work with, it doesn’t have to be grand, just, something that grounds him back in the common man.”

“But Kizuna’s not a common man- ah… ff..fine, ok, sometimes, uhm, I think… I worry, he makes himself miss out on fun stuff, because he’s worried more about keeping everyone and everything safe. Someone somewhere falls into peril and it’s, his problem now. I can usually make him slow down, but sometimes we both end up really swept up in it… uhm… I don’t know. Oh… my cookie……”

“… I think I can work with that…”

Kizuna belongs to @zombiesockfuckinglovescardfight •v• (and if he wants to add something to this he can! >:3)

[candycryptids]

🦇 biggest material fear (ie heights, bugs etc)

Hiii omg sorry this like, the next evening I conked out @u@

So! This is such an interesting question I’ve never actually thought about it before 🫢 (how exciting)

Chuu has a fear of pits where you can’t see the bottom, and quicksand. Not that quicksand is often actually a danger in day-to-day life, but the idea of being sucked under and- dying, essentially. Surprisingly ok with deep water and heights, though.

Tuesdays fear is deep water, because… he can’t really, ah, swim. He sinks, like a stone. And he’s not so much afraid as he is creeped out by things that are not human but DO have human-like faces. Like [Deidar] or the [Fishman] from Windwaker (worse, if they don’t behave in a human fashion, or they come close but it’s Wrong)

Mochiie has a fear of bug stings/bites- he’s not allergic, but he knows enough about toxins to be alarmed if he doesn’t know what just got him. 🫢 yet he’ll still handle bugs, just… cautiously.

Tangy is afraid of Magitek War Machina. Over time she gets to the point where she doesn’t seize up at the clunk of their heavy mechanical legs or the whirr of their engines, but it still sets her fur on end. Going to Chuu’s workshop is an overwhelming hellscape (so it’s good their meetings were in a quieter part of the FC house…)

Colette claims she’s not afraid of anything. Not a damn thing. She’s very freaked out by spiders, though, in a ‘set the whole house on fire’ kinda way. Someone else has to safely remove the poor creature before she DOES accidentally burn the house down casting Flare. She’s been getting better, but it’s down to a very rapid exit of the room no matter the case. [Belladonna] in Saint Mocianes Arboretum was a nightmare- but at least she was allowed to blast it to pieces.

Ishi’li … mm.. They’re tough. Before Eorzea he was afraid of cockroaches? Freaked out by the sensation of bugs crawling on him too. But after being in Eorzea and camping a bunch and getting slimed/torched/waterboarded/blown about/All the other crazy shit that happens to the poor WoL in battle… cockroaches don’t seem so scary anymore? The Gnath are literally giant talking bugs… I think they’re afraid of real deep water though. Like where you can’t see the bottom? It’s hard to say he’s afraid of Krakens but I think he might be a little bit.

Levraut is freeze-sometimes-faint afraid of Dragons. If it’s anything bigger than a Chocobo his knees are rattlin’. He tries to put on a real brave face about it, but…. It’s a hard hurdle to cope with. Their teeth, the vaguely sulfuric hint to their breath, the piercing eyes, the ripping talons…. Yeah, he just can’t. Au’ra are fine, after he’s met a handful. But the first one… 🫢 they had to get him smelling salts.

[candycryptids]

Okay, what is the most huggable creature for all YOUR characters? :D

Oh this is gonna b kinda silly so hold on to your seat or s/t 🫣 (Ty for the questionnnn I needed the distraction and something to keep me awake a little longer heheheh!)

Chuu: Carbuncle; became a summoner almost exclusively to be able to summon her own. They don’t need to eat or sleep since it’s sustained off your own aether so it’s like, the perfect pet for someone who’s idealized form is the flawed beauty of the Machine. Her other most huggable creature is This Thing, one of the Stubby Models whose name I can NOT finds

Tuesday: is a simple guy. He thinks Peatie is the most huggable creature secondary only to June, his faithful and graciously patient Chocobo. They’re both pink, which is a hilarious coincidence.

Tangy: I mentioned in a previous post she’d enjoy having a Dodo/Pudgy Puk/Ahriman plush and that still holds, but I think she’d find Tonberries the most huggable. They’re not necessarily creatures, though,

Mochiie: hands down, finds Chocobos the most huggable creature in all the land. Their big round eyes. Their razor sharp talons. Their bone snapping beaks. The soft downy feathers!!! Can be also be swayed with horses, and Steppe-Dzo.

Colette: Behemoth. It is… Big Uppy Goggy. Reminds her of the [Magnamalo] which is also not very Actually huggable Tbf, but I think Colette could find a way to make it happen anyways.

Ishi’li: wants to hug a Coeurl and Not Die. Wants to hug one so bad. Wdym they’re full out danger electricity cats. :( they are so KITTY… is also extremely charmed by the Odder Otter, lol.

Levraut: finds [Canonball] the most huggable, an act of absolutely no bias whatsoever, definitely. (He also thinks Namazu look huggable, in that like… Cute Aggression way, where he kinda wants to hug one tight enough it makes a squeaking noise)
