to put a long story short: at the end of ffxiv's base game, literally Directly before the beginning of its first expansion (heavensward), there is a series of quests and story arcs that eventually snowball into an hour-long cutscene in which the entire thing comes to a head in the literal worst way possible. like, "the hero's plans all go horribly wrong and several major characters die onscreen, with others going missing (presumed dead), eventually culminating in the player character being framed for the murder of the leader of a nation-state and being Literally Forced To Flee The Country" wrong.
heavensward leads directly on from this plotline. you arrive at the major location of the expansion in the midst of seeking asylum whilst being a wanted criminal everywhere else in the world right now. it's like. A Whole Thing. the game makes such a big deal out of it all. the fandom does as well. and for good reason!! it's a really good moment!!!!!!
and then roughly 1/3rds of the way into heavensward you find out that literally none of it mattered. nobody important actually died, no changes were actually made to the status quo, and nothing comes of being literally kicked out of the country for (what is implied to be) several in-universe weeks, if not months. None Of It Mattered. None.
TLDR; the bloody banquet is a major, exciting, and very infamous twist that seems like it's going to segway into a MAJOR upheaval of the status quo and some really intriguing ramifications for the story as a whole... and then heavensward does away with literally all of that and practically writes the entire thing off as a waste of time.
you may be able to see why i'm so salty about it.
#also worth noting that the nation-state leader (who's death was The one you were framed for)#was assassinated specifically because she was trying to reform her country's merchantile incredibly corrupt leadership system#into a more bearable democracy that would give voice to the people instead of the greedy scumbags currently in power#one of the members of the syndicate (a group of rich people who at this point have more power than the sultana- her)#tried to kill her bc. well. obviously reformation would mean they wouldnt be in control anymore.#and so her supposed death is the big crux of the bloody banquet#and then. THEN. heavensward goes OUT OF ITS WAY to reveal she is not only ALIVE AND PERFECTLY FINE#(she got drugged with the classic fantasy eternal sleep that looks like death medication)#but that her plan for reformation was ACTIVELY STUPID. she DOESN'T GET TO DO IT. NOTHING ABOUT THE STATE OF UL'DAH CHANGES#THE GAME JUST TELLS YOU BETTER GUYS ARE IN CHARGE NOW AND EXPECTS YOU TO BE FINE WITH THAT?#AS THOUGH THE ORIGINAL PLAN TO CHANGE THE SYSTEM ENTIRELY WAS THE FLAWED PART OF THIS EQUATION?#god. i hate it so much. if you're not gonna change the status quo at least have the balls to kill off a character for christ's sake#i can rant abt it all day. it's just such a travesty on every level#yin-thoughts#ffxiv#also for the record ''bloody banquet'' is a fan term. the whole thing isnt called anything in-universe iirc#it's just a catchy title for an infamous sequence wherein people die at a banquet. you know how it be#it's just. god. something about it is just so utterly vile. the game all but looks nanamo (and to some extent the player) in the eyes#and goes How Dare You Try And Change The System. You're Stupid For Thinking This Could Work.#it feels so disingenuous and mean spirited and now the entire thing just leaves the worst possible taste in my mouth#and it SUCKS. because the bloody banquet scene itself is INCREDIBLE. but the way the game handles it after it happens is just#so bad!! it's so bad!!!! aughhhh it's so so so so so bad!!!!!!!!!!!!!#the ffxiv writers are so in love with preserving the norm and so terrified of changing it up and/or killing off established characters#ive ranted abt it before and knowing myself i'll rant about it many a time again. it just sucks man#ffxiv crit

Get this man out of my head NOW!!!
Great animation practice at least-
Hopefullyyy tumblr isn't compressing it toooo badly.
vvv Goodie and yapping below!!! vvv
I really should be focusing on my assignments but ah yes, it twas a good idea to animate the goober stuck in my head.
Essentially, this drawing has been stuck in my head and I found the perfect songs that matches this mf so well. The voices.... They chain me down.
This took way longer than it should have v_v
Take this early snippet of the silly hitting himself as a consolation. It's either going to be a while before I post this man, or in general, again or it is going to be often if he won't LEAVE MY HOUSE (mind)
#Aughhhh#Honestly have been itching to make an animation for over a week#and this just happened to be the most simple#This mf got lucky thats all e3e#Totally not living rent free up here#He probably couldn't pay anyways because he keeps GAMBLING#Dragging assistant y/n around goin#LETS GO GAMBLING :DDD#Casinos love him#Poor financial decision professional#He was a stockbroker so checks out#cough cough#It may be a while before I create more but#I doooo need to make a ref sheet for him...#NO LD BAD#PUT DOWN THE PEN#dca fandom#dca community#fnaf dca#dca fnaf#daycare attendant#dca art#dca oc#definitely leaning towards a#fnaf eclipse#variant lol#my art#my animation#dca animation

Complicated Relationship with God (As Seen Through Lyrics in the Character's Playlist)
#my art#wc#weirdos class#seth#hes SO weird abt religion it drives me insaaaane every time i listen to his playlist im like aughhhh#the complicated relationship is basically 'god never answered my prayers im done trying to believe. i shall take his place#and burn this whole place to the ground to create a new world' hes not okay if u were wonderin <3#anyways. this collage is an epic rama vulnerable moment ( i am very reluctant to share what music i like beyond certain bands)#(its bc i got made fun of so much for my bad taste </3 so now im embarrassed abt every single thing i like)#showing someone music i enjoy is like. such a big thing for me its like. im entrusting u w rama secrets...#and if ur mean or dismissive i WILL be sads forever. that applies here btw <3#if any1 is mean abt my lyric choices ill. delete my blog and disappear off the internet forever. okay?#HOWEVER on the same vein. ur invited to tell me if u know the songs...and if u know more than 5 of them we shall have a summer wedding

looking and staring at the fact bloodmoons jealous of lunar being brought back but not him but also disregarding the entirety LUNAR was the one to promise him a body.
#Monty may have made it but they were hesitant of it#like legit Lunar was like 'YEAH MONTY WILL GET U THESE!' monty being roped into this unwillingly 'yeah... yeah okay buddy'#monty favors lunar a lot thats his best friend and WOULD spoil him so like#interesting this current bloodmoons more mad at lunar for being so favored and brought back#literally mad at him cause lunar was a replacement. despite never feeling that before until AFTER resurection#(for both mind you)#i bet ruin sure reminded them of how much he was discarded by Eclipse and everyone else but NOT ruin :))#(lunar i feel wouldnt have if not for the everyone LITERALLY NEVER BRINGING IT UP AGAIN GDI)#but ooooh we gonna get some brotherly bonding over death and eclipse and replacements#ah yessss i can feel it#if the show will ever give me this#knowing them theyll want to keep them seperated esp after bloodmoon attacked lunar#now its a monty thing#and it wouldnt be a bad thing but also Monty legit didnt like the guyv bnjsk#lunar at least has some idea WHO bloodmoon really is what eclipse did and#AUGHHHH#THEYLL NEVER GIVE ME THIS ITS NOT THE CURRENT TOPIC ON THE SHOW I KNOW#a girl can hope cause of the new lore drop and implications#sun and moon show#sun and moon show spoilers#I GUES#man much rambling in the tags its so easy to ramble here

Uraume talking about how sorcerers of old disregarded their humanity....looks at tengen who has been called a "higher being" and sukuna who is a natural disaster, a calamity....kenjaku who's whole curse technique means to disregard the human body....
#rambles#jjk#kenjaku#uraume#tengen#ryomen sukuna#i think about the heian four so bad#yes i call them the heian four bc i have a specific relationship hc i have for all of them#anyway for me tengen feels the most brain churning for me bc they've been described as a non combatant#and yet something something disregarding humanity for the sake of maintaining a system#aughhhh

just one of those nights again (thought about n so hard i started Physically feeling sad like theres a weight on my chest)
#clai speaks#this is not something people should be doing.#got reminded of the fact that the bw ending theme is called Onward to Our Own Futures AUGHHHH#everyone starting the next chapters of their lives going on to better times#n's future now truly being His Own. no one will treat him like a tool or a puppet again#on the flip side. their futures are Only their own. n is alone. protag chases him without leads. cheren and bianca left behind#those two left being too busy to see each other much. the disappearance of their third friend probably contributing to the rift#on just n's part it was probably for the best for him. finally not being tethered to anyone he Had to go explore that newfound freedom#i dont blame him for leaving the Second he had the chance i wouldn't want to stay where i was either#its just unfortunate he and protag didn't have a way to contact each other after once he'd had time to cool off#n valuing his friends so much but being so so bad at making them and listening to them. i'm gonna be sick i'm ill i'm weary#cannot stand him or like. any other bw character i need this game erased from existance so i may know peace again#i mean i think typing this post isnt helping me i think i feel worse. oops! anyway
