there's something i love in particular about the silly 'barnabas sitting on his human lord commander like a horse' drawings other than just the fact that they exist but it's that as a horse sleipnir famously has six legs. right. and when they're fully primed odin is riding sleipnir. yknow. normally. like a horse. and with the leg around the big fucking belly and foot in a stirrup so odin's legs completely disappear into the silhouette

but if you do the 'human riding a human like a horse' then when barnabas is sitting on him. his legs completely reach the ground or at least close to it

therefore. turning. his own legs. into the third pair of legs in sleipnirs silhouette,

started playing ffxvi with my husband tonight (i didn't play it myself the first time but i'm playing it this time now that i have a ps5) and i love that they gave him a CRUMB of sleipnir to tide him over until he shows up again forever from now and he just accepted that

#i mean his NDA name was clint so.............

NO

Obviously we all love the name Clive now but I remember the ridicule it got when it was revealed and it could have been worse. It could have been Craig.

i think about this All the time kjsdhfg and will probably write it out at some point, but a version of it i'm not sure fits in the timeline but i really enjoy is cid happening to show up during like, a ceremony to bless dion after he awakens as bahamut, at like, 8 years old or something, and cid sneaking in and seeing him and being like. aw fuck you're just a kid. i can't beat up a kid. and having to run away instead skdjhfg

Today’s FF16 replay bonus: I completely forgot that Cid casually mentions he tried to sneak in and destroy Drake’s Head one time before and got chased out by Dion. I am DESPERATE to know more about that “little game of hide and seek with Bahamut”…

FFXVI really takes your hand and says 'come with me', then shows you a world that is broken and full of pain and heartache and selfishness and cruelty. It shows you the terrible things people are willing to do to each other for no good reason, it shows you how how leaders can be short sighed and foolish in their earnest desire to do the right thing for their people, and that causes no less pain then when they are corrupted and arrogant and vain monsters. It shows you how people's cruelty all to often is born of a world that beats them down that gives them no other choice but to be cruel if they want to survive.

And then it asks: is this worth saving? Is this worth protecting? Wouldn’t it be better if you just let it all go? Let it all be destroyed, and broken apart, and lost? Wouldn’t it be enough to just end the pain? Wouldn’t that be salvation?

And in the same breath it answers, no because salvation isn’t the point. Humanity is cruel, greedy, fractious and hateful and it always will be. Just as humanity is kind, generous, united and loving and always will be. Even as the world falls apart The Dame fights to keep Northreach together, even as monsters beat down her gates Martha takes in refugees and escaped slaves and refuses to stop, even as nations crumble and bandits flourish the Dragoons still battle for the sake of their people and country, while the Crusebreakers keep struggling to free the innocent and protect the weak. Even as Joshua is hacking up blood, even as his body is shutting down he keeps walking forward at Clive’s side inevitably, inexorably to the end, because he loves his brother and refuses to give him up to Ultima’s scheme.

FFXVI tells you that there are no promises, not guarantees, that the only people who can promise salvation are the ones who want to sell it. FFXVI says that no one is assured victory, or safety, or paradise. The point is not to save the world from it’s evils. The point is that we fight to try and reach the next dawn with the people we love. Humanity can never create a perfect world because we are imperfect creatures, but the battle to make a better world, a kinder world, a more free world, a more gentle more fair, more loving world is what defines us.
