Roevember Day 15: Pride

Excerpt from a letter to a little sister: I admit it: in the darker nights, when we huddled beneath the tiniest outcropping while rain puddled at our feet, when our days and nights were shaken by Garlean explosions just out of view, when we lived off cold meals because a campfire would have risked the attention of a passing patrol, I imagined this place. I pictured our parents gathering up the whole crew and boarding a ship, and in the dawn's light we'd open our eyes to see the shining white city of Old Sharlayan opening up to us like an oyster shell. Our grandparents would welcome fatyr back and give us a place in their grand home. They'd send us to the Studium to study history and magic and machinery, and everyone would marvel at the things we knew, the languages we spoke, the places we had seen, and every day there would be hot food and dry socks and not a soldier's uniform in sight.  They nearly turned me away at the gates. They saw the weapon on my hip and their opinion of me was calcified before I'd even opened my mouth. I recognized the word forming in their heads, the word that they are too polite to speak aloud, the same word spat at us by Garlean lips: barbarian.  An unexpected familiarity in a place I once dreamed of calling home.  It would be so trivially easy to paint them a prettier picture. I am proud to call more than one former Sharlayan family, and I know their speech and mannerisms so well that the Forum itself would mistake me for one born and raised here. I could hide my blades behind gentle smiles and meticulous manners. I have done it so many times before.  I find I have little taste for it this time. If my presence brings discomfort to their pleasant days, all the better.

In my feud with the neighbour/pretending it's a ghost so I don't go knock on their door and yell that means I'm sleeping all day and not sleeping all night but trying to, I've missed Roevember's Blood, Companion and Temper, so here's all three...

"Thank the Gods, I've found you!!"

"By the Fury's tits and cock!!! Don't GRAB me like that!"

"You have to help me, Estinien, I have forgotten more about how to fight as a Dragoon than most people ever know! What is wrong with me!?"

[Frog has not been adapting well to the sedate new pace of 7.1 Dragoon]

Roevember 19: Temper

Robyn?...ROBYN!

Huh?

Are you alright?

Oh yeah, just...lost in thought

Day 19 - Parting

It's a strange feeling, leaving Elpis behind knowing there's nothing he can do for them.

(Day 18 will be delayed because I'm dumb and forgot to prep for the screenshot I wanted to take but I will post it eventually!)

Day 19 - Temper

While she's quite the excitable sort, Morgana is also extremely compassionate and generous. Some who only know of her in passing assume this means she's a pushover they can manipulate for their own gain.

They never make that mistake twice.

[sayonaramidnight]

All those times when she either said too much or not enough...

Day 19 - Parting

[viiioca]

It's that time of year again!

Since 7.1 will be landing in the middle of our month this year, @oneiroy, @elliewiltarwyn, @verysmallcyborg and I decided to pull our own prompt list together for our Roegadyn friends on tumblr to get a head start! (Feel free to do as many or as few as you want, or to mix and match with the Official Roevember list if/when it's released by roefizzlebeef and serisothikos later in the month. Anything goes!) Tag your gposes, gifs, art, writing, music, etc. with #RoevemberXIV or #RoevemberXIV2024 and come celebrate thirty solid days of ROEGADYN.

[link to text version is here!]

Roevember Day 1 - Name

Fornax Val'ethtue - or Fyrstyrn (Fire Star) Dotharl, if following the naming conventions of Roegadyn and Au Ra. “Fornax” is Latin for “furnace,” and is also a constellation. One might believe that they are a Hellsguard, but they’re a Sea Wolf! Curious. (I definitely did not originally look at Roe names when I first made her. shhh) The embodiment of an immovable object that harnesses and is driven by their strong emotions, their rage, their need to love and survive. One of two of Hydaelyn's fiercest champions, Fornax lives up to their title through and through. Despite intimidating appearances and all, she bears a deeply caring and loving, adventurous heart. One may find them being happily smothered by the stray cats of Limsa...

a little written intro to accompany the name prompt! say hi to my beloved butch au roe, fornax :)

Roevember 2024, Day 13: Competition

Ena had been looking forward to competing against Thancred and Urianger in the rite of succession. As someone who relished a good challenge, the thought of some friendly rivalry had her feeling pumped up.

But perhaps Thancred should have thought twice before pulling that little stunt of his in the first dungeon of Dawntrail.

(No Thancreds were harmed in the making of this gpose.)

Roevember Day 1: Names

"So you chose it for yourself?" "Well - sort of. It was the one my parents had in mind if I had been born female in the first place." "It's lovely. It's the Sea Wolf language, right?"

"Yeah. Elil for foreign, or exiled; geim for jewel." "...Exiled jewel...a little on the nose for our current predicament." "Gods, I didn't even think of that..."

"I'm curious - your old friends called you 'Geim. I suppose that makes sense, since it's the noun... It's a cute nickname." "Heh - I don't know. I was never really a fan of it. Suppose it's hard to feel like a jewel right now." "Is that so... Mayhap the other half, then. Have you ever considered 'Ellie'?"

"...Ellie Wiltarwyn...huh." "I'll take that as a no, then. Do you... Sorry, was that too forward? You don't have to--" "No, I... I actually kinda like it." "Truly? ...May I call you that, then?"

"Heh. Call me whatever you want. Just... don't bandy it about in public. Wouldn't want people to think aught's changed between us." "Pfft - of course not. There'd be no coming back from such a revelation."

Roevember the most beautiful time of the year...

But also

The world is full of so many wonderful frogs and Frog loves them all.

[captain-styr]

Styr | ROEVEMBER DAY 1 | Names

The start of Roevember! Say hello to my darling pirate innocent merchant captain Styrdraga Rhetikympfsyn, or Styr for short, captain of the vessel the Enduring Deeds. He's a man who knows what he wants, and what he wants is to grow his merchant empire.

On a personal note, I'm excited for Roevember! I have been neglecting the poor captain long enough. Time to correct that.

Roevember, Day 1 - Name

[maggoochie]

RoevemberXIV Day 1 - Name

While people know her as Big-bicep Bertha outside of Nagxia, Bertha’s true Hellsguard birth name is Raven Beast, drawn from her raven hair and her family’s notorious lineage of “beast-like” fighters.
