[ shadowbringers 5.3 patch/ post-patch spoilers]

I've been checking in on various npcs between patches to see if they get dialogue changes and !!!!!!!!! Omg character development for Y'shtola???? She's finally opening up ?? I'm so proud of her 🥺

I can count this to my headcanon of "Everyone forgets to tell Y'mhitra that her sister and summoner friend are dating" as it sounds like the letter said nothing in detail. Considering Y'mhitra was pushing Y'shtola to try and find someone, I doubt Y'shtola would want to give her any kind of ammunition for gloating. Not that Mhitra seems like the type to gloat, I just think Shtola would be to a tad too proud to admit her sister was right. Meanwhile, Arsay simply keeps forgetting to talk about anything that isn't summoner related. (Arsay: No new ancient summoner adventures to go on?? oh okay bye then.... yeah I'll tell Shtola you said hi *sad sigh*)

but just as I thought Y'shtola was doing so well.... (TToTT)

GIRL!!! you did not STOP going on about how you hoped you were doing matoya's name proud or how the brooms in the grand cosmos reminded you of matoya!!! you obviously miss her!! go visit your mom y'shtola!!!! she misses you!!! smgdh!

*Arsay shaking shtola like a ragdoll* what do you mean you havent visited matoya yet she misses you!!!!!!!! shes an aetherite away shtola!! its so easy!!!!!!

— v. raison d'être

It was never going to last. They knew it from the beginning, all of them. Their time in the First was temporary, fleeting. For some, that would have been enough to give pause, to keep distance. For them, it made these moments all the more precious—even when it was difficult, even when it was unfair. Ryne knows they are both proud of her. That will never change, even when they live in separate worlds. It is a bittersweet thing to say goodbye, to close one chapter and begin the next. But change is necessary, a fundamental aspect of life. There is no sense in clinging to the past when the future—with all its countless possibilities—lies ahead. There is no looking back. Only forwards.

The Scions of the Seventh Dawn - The Warrior of Light

... 50ish hours later, it's finally done. :') And with that this little series of paintings.

"Completely... and utterly... fine! Better than fine! Hale and hearty and still alive to mourn those who are not. Who I failed to protect when they needed me most. We've come so far - so godsdamned far! I could have sworn the end was in sight! And now they will never see it"

So. Shadowbringers, huh.

i'm just being a little wierd about the Exarch's crystal arm. well my tank main WoL really lives and breathes chivalric devotion so why shouldn't he get a hand kiss scene with the liege he serves

[sasseebeee]

i was gonna say "he just like me fr" and then i remembered estinien has literally no context to the spirit vessel thing because he was not there for shadowbringers and did not ask about it/allegedly no one briefed him on it. like to my knowledge he's at least seen g'raha's once when he gave it to to the wol before returning to the first? regardless he still just like me fr.

FFXIV Polyamory Week - Day 1 - Sleeping positions

Hellooooo here I come for polyship week!

Turns out I already had this shot that fit the prompt perfectly (sorry for cheating that way, it WILL happen again). Usually Rowan is in the middle of the pile, but Estinien has been in the middle before--it uh. Did not go well for him dealing with a lot of purring. (Please look forward to that in the ot3 fic, haha).

I HAVE A POLL FOR YOU

[mosthuggableffxiv]

5.3 spoilers, but I'm curious:

What have y'all named your Azems, and why? Personally I was originally gonna go with Athena, but then the Pandaemonium raids happened and threw that out the window, so I named her Ariadne instead because I figured Square wouldn't use that one (also the whole idea of the thread and guidance and the opportunity to make "grapes good wine better" jokes)
