'What If'... Samuru never met Isen

This would essentially change the entire course of his story arc, which is fascinating to think about. Samuru’s father kept an iron fist on him, insistent he take up the mantle of Woodwailer as he himself had done. But Samuru desired to be an Alchemist much to his annoyance, and yet was too afraid to stand up to him at the time. It was meeting Isen that set the wheels in motion for him to pack up his things and just leave home to achieve his dream, traveling all across Eorzea as an adventurer who saw and did many great things.

So if he hadn’t met Isen, I feel like his growth would’ve been significantly slower. He would’ve eventually left home but at a much later age, likely after wasting time in training with the Woodwailers. It would’ve been a hard, unpleasant experience and he would’ve faced great backlash for his lack of care or skill in the field, he may have even been booted out entirely. The shame of his failure would’ve culminated in greater backlash in his home life, and that likely would have been the catalyst for leaving home entirely.

He may have still taken up Alchemy but without Isen by his side assisting in building his confidence and pushing him to be better, he would’ve stumbled frequently in his pursuits. Lacking proper figures around him to aid in undoing years of mental abuse, at some point Samuru would collapse in on himself and fall into a depression. I don’t think he would’ve been single forever and eventually he’d marry, but the candidate he chose would likely be born from loneliness rather than true love. Grace would cease to exist, and the business he built would likely not come to pass with his current lover not as invested in his personal success. 

While I can’t say his life would’ve been completely terrible and not worth living without Isen, it seems to me that he still played a significant role in shaping Samuru into who he is now. He’s a confident business owner with a lovely home, a beautiful daughter and surrounded by friends and trusted confidants. Without that push when he needed it most, he would be half that today. The butterfly effect in full motion.

Brendemir Fenwick - Dreams of Tomorrow

A commission for @tidusyumemiru‘s character Isen Yumemiru, entitled “Dreams of Tomorrow”.

I love troubled characters with romantic backstories, and Isen’s definitely didn’t disappoint. Tidy requested a piece with a slightly melancholic undertone, but with an overall uplifting feel, which to me brought to mind the joy Isen has found with Samuru (something which I had a lot of fun expressing with the strings). Thank you for the commission, Tidy! It was lovely to write something for your character. Please enjoy.

You respond to physical touch

For you, love is as simple as a caress. Where ever it happens, how ever long it lasts or how it is: it could be just holding hands while walking about, having a quick cuddle once the kids are in bed, stealing a kiss here and there, exchanging touches while passing each other in the hallway, and of course making love, particularly in the warming up phase – body to body, skin against skin… Physical touch is security and reassurance for you and makes you sure that your partner loves you. 

On the contrary, the absence of physical contact hurts you deeply and you can feel ill treated or rejected and you close down emotionally. But when your partner communicates in your love language, it touches you deeply inside, creating strong emotional intimacy that opens you to yourself and to your partner. Some advice: Every person has his or her own geography when it comes to bodily touch. Don’t think that touching them in a way that pleases you will necessarily please them and vica-versa. It’s important to verbally confirm the touches and caresses that you like, ‘You know I love it when you hold my hand… ‘I like it when you brush against me while passing by’ or ‘I adore when you take me in your arms’. You can invent a couple’s game to make your partner guess which styles of caress you like and which zones of your body are more receptive (Getting hotter, getting colder… ) If you are seriously lacking contact, begin by explaining to your partner how you operate in sensorial terms and perhaps invited them to find 5 different ways of physical contact during the day.

(IC) A day at the market

[@tidusyumemiru]

The Gridanian market was bustling on this busy weekend afternoon, the sound of merchants advertising their many wares echoing down the aged halls. Rook was among the many patrons looking to spend their hard earned gil, even if his pockets weren’t as fat as he would’ve liked. The eager mechanic decided not to take the trip alone this day, a wily white haired companion at his side.

“Wow, would ya listen to ‘em? I mean Limsa had much the same, but the wares here are vastly different.” The mechanic chirped. His faithful sparrow companion had taken residence on his shoulder, happy to observe but far more comfortable crammed against his neck. “Haha, come now Arthur it ain’t that bad.” Rook tried to comfort his feathery friend, using the tip of his finger to scratch the top of his head.

Rook turned to smile at Isen, bright blue eyes focused on his traveling buddy. “Thanks fer agreeing to come with me today. It’s not that I don’t know how to spend gil, it’s that I do it too well...to my detriment at times.” He’d chuckle, giving the midlander a playful nudge. “Max told me if I don’t come back with some gil in my pocket he’ll sell me to the empire, would rather avoid it if ya don’t mind.” He’d flash Isen a wink, turning to let his eyes wander over the merchandise they walked by.

A Thank You

Earlier this week I announced the first album release for Brendemir Fenwick. Legends of a Distant Realm is the cumulative result of the commissions that I’ve done over the past year and a half, with some additional tracks that I composed added in. 

A massive thank you to the nine legendary heroes (pictured above) for commissioning me to create works inspired by their characters. It was a joy to work with them all and while I knew I would enjoy writing the music, I didn’t realise just how much fun and how fulfilling it would be.

Thank you sincerely to all of you for your support, your interest in my music and your patience. There will be lots more to come in the new year, so please look forward to it!

x Bren

The album is available for pre-order download and streaming at my Bandcamp store. The full release is on Tuesday, 15 December. 

1. Symphony of Wind 

"The wind is a symphony Both elegant and wild As strong as it is tender And singular in its splendour A force that is formless and free A force that has no equal but thee" 

— for Rivienne Marcellus, @ladyrivienne​

2. Welcome Home

"Once my heart lived in foreign lands Once my heart beguiled my hands To write a future far from home To tread my feet through sands unknown To discover once our love had grown That where the heart is, one is always home" 

— for Arshtat Ejinn and Madoc Parnell, @hithren​

3. Oath to Sword and Shield

"One need not a crown to have a noble heart But for a heart such as this, so true, No gilded, jewelled crown would ever do Yet what the hero often does not see: His heart and oath is infinitely more worth, Than any crown could ever be." — for Luther Sharpe, @sharpe-vision​

4. Queen of Hearts

"A woman of mystery, of music and intrigue Beguiling the senses to find what she seeks An enigma, a dream, a desire, an illusion With a touch, she captures you in a web of confusion Beware this femme fatale as you drink her in The Queen of Hearts, she will lead yours to sin" — for Odette Saoirse, @sonataofsteel

5. With You

"There is always that one Who makes us feel alive Who makes us feel, in truth, Life is not just to live, but to thrive And when they are with you The world and its sorrows melt away The minutes unspool to hours And time becomes still" — for Ranulf Squires, @aether-eyes

6. Reflections of the Heart

"To live a long life One must carry the burden Of losing the ones one loves Though goodbye is never simple And loss is forever felt Those who were dearest to us Always remain as a reflection in our hearts" — for D'marth Peixis, @grandmage

7. Dreams of Tomorrow

"The warmest touch can melt the coldest heart The softest kiss can tear all walls asunder And when love is true and spun from noble intentions The dreams we weave of tomorrow will be golden inventions" — for Isen Yumemiru and Samuru Lantis, @tidusyumemiru​

8. Lullaby of Perfection

"There are few things alike the bond of a mother's love Were the stars fixed with such to the heavens They would never fall But all things fall From perfect heights to perilous depths And all that remains is a lullaby of that which once was perfect: A mother's love" — for Alyx Quintessence, @xylaquint​

9. Call of the Rainforest

"The tremble of a leaf The bending of a branch The tallest of the trees The rainforest calls as a brother to me The sky and the sun The gullys and valleys as one Call as a sister to me How can I not heed the voice of the wild When it calls as a lover to me" — for C'arta Eztli, @rainforest-cat​

▤ = falling asleep on them

If there was one question Numei seemed to ask frequently, it was ‘why are the men of my country that I encounter in Eorzea incredibly annoying?’. And today, as usual, she was asking this question when Isen had shown up on her doorstep. First Kaito, now there was Isen. She couldn’t figure out exactly who was more annoying. 

Right now, Isen was definitely gunning for the #1 spot.

“Just what do you think you’re doing?”

Isen grinned. “I thought I’d come by for a visit. My armor got a little dinged up, I needed a repair. Who better to come to?”

Numei pinched her nose. And just like Kaito, this was always the story. At least Kaito came with food.

And thus here they were, the pair of them seated on her floor in the shop for truly no good reason. Numei had been inspecting the spots that needed repair, her fingers running along the thin metalwork of Isen’s breastplate. Her brow twitched. Why couldn’t he take better care of his own shit? Lifting the small hammer, she turned the armor over in her lap and began her careful hammering, steadily smoothing out kinks and bumps. The rhythm was melodic, zen almost to the point that even Mei felt a little sleepy.

Thump. 

Blinking, Numei turned her head to find Isen very much asleep, head against her shoulder. The man did look pretty exhausted, now that she was looking at him. She could only imagine the things he was up to to put his armor in this state and dumb enough to fall asleep around her. 

She had a couple of options, or at least usually. One of them she was unable to carry out given a marker was so far away on the other side of the shop. Mei went with the latter.

Shoving Isen off, she watched the man fall over right onto the metal floor. The sound resonated off the walls, mixing in with Numei’s continued hammering. Isen hadn’t even bothered to get up. Instead the man placed his hands on his stomach, staring up at the ceiling. “I guess I deserved that.”

“You deserve a lot of things. Just rest.”

         Sacred Ascent Funeral Parlor and Mortuary

Announcing the grand opening of Sacred Ascent. We are a small two man operation based in Shirogane. Sacred Ascent offers patrons many options for the final rites of their loved ones.

Natural Burials and Services

Regular Funeral Services with options to fit nearly any budget.

An in-house crematorium with choice of urns or our own Sacred Ashes product line.

A chapel for services called Crystal Hills. This is also open to weddings if people prefer.

We are located in Shirogane, Ward 15, Plot 6 on Balmung; Southeastern Shirogane Teleport.

We welcome all with open arms to visit or use the premises for their funeral needs. For more information please read the google doc located here or message Isen Yumemiru or Samuru Lantis in-game. We are also available through tumblr @tidusyumemiru​ or @samurulantis​.

The second operation based in Shirogane is Order of the Raven.

This is a new clan designed for chaotic good characters and the like, which uses the funeral home ‘Sacred Ascent’ as a cover and hideout for missions.

The business of the funeral home will be a legitimate business, Isen having become a mortician and taking the profession seriously, in conjunction with being an assassin.

It should be known that the underground clan would NOT be widely known to all and there are requirements for characters to join.

If you’re interested in this type of RP please contact me IG at Isen Yumemiru or Samuru Lantis. The location and extra information is in the text document in the above post!
