#ffxiv romance

What makes a scene or situation "romantic" in your opinion? Is this something you find easy to portray?

(Also thank you so much for making this amazing list!)

Again I think there's a few different elements that can make a situation "romantic" (rather than, for example "erotic", which I think is slightly different). But these are just my opinions and I suppose romance is quite subjective.

For me I think there needs to be tenderness and possibly some vulnerability. It usually helps if someone is trying to do or say or demonstrate something to another person in terms of their feelings for them - crucically they don't necessarily need to be doing this very well for it to be romantic, in fact it can more endearing if they don't.

Of course there are also more heroic romantic situations, involving rescuing and riding off into the sunset and soforth, which are often the kind of romantic scenario that a character might fantasise about or even find themselves embroiled within.

And sexual scenes can definitely be romantic (see @sasslett or @paintedscales for some good examples). I suppose one might make a useful distinction between romantic lovemaking and more sexually rapacious activities involving lots of thrusting, kink and/or implement usage - but that may be just a me thing.

And @shadesofblades you are very welcome. Thank you for the ask!

Faust is easy enough to start a fling with, but hard to progress. She enjoys romance and flirting, but puts up walls and generally tries to keep herself from getting too attached. Her taste, however, can be quite varied. She will enjoy a partner who shares her flirtatious, romantic side, but she will also thoroughly enjoy trying to fluster a more aloof or serious person.

12. The Lancer.

The Lancer’s spending several moons,

Residing at Camp Dragonhead,

She’ll go on to train with the Dragoons,

And take a certain Knight to bed...

The twelfth character in my silly poem series is Zoisite Ruby of @loldragoon-ffxiv - an OC with a far more complex and poignant backstory than my poetical silliness would suggest.

As well as Zoisite, you will find a profusion of fantastic characters on this blog - including Feldspar (the handsome husband of Fennie of @scholarlostintime, famous for his shorts and wine-making), his little sister, the very forbearing Rose Quartz, and Ichelle, diplomat, handsome noblewoman and Azure Dragoon.

A skillful writer, gposer and all round good sort, I heartily recommend @loldragoon-ffxiv. Along with @scholarlostintime they also run some fantastic RP events at Feldspar's Inn, The Cracked Cluster - keep an eye out for some more of these in the future.

Hello tumblr it's me again, I bring an older gpose. Because I like putting him in nice clothing. I also like making him look happy because he DESERVES to be happy, dangit.
