#throws all my old head canons out bc ng+ is really just showing me they do not make enough sense

[wtf-amiru]

ah fuck

k so a'miru is largely a walking headcanon because her playthrough was A MESS

she was my first character ever, i made her years ago with bon on ultros to play with him and some other discord server friends. Could not get into the game. Was not really in the right place at the time, wasn't big on online multiplayer games and the walls of text threw me right out of it, i couldn't follow the story because i'm too fucking dyslexic so i fell off pretty fucking quick, like lvl 34ish.

3 years later, mid pandemic Echo says he plays ffxiv with his brother and i'm like oh shit i have a character in that game haha and he's like

👀make a character and play with me. now. this is what dc i'm on. So I do, I go make arannis on coeurl and get him to, again, around lvl 35ish before i fall off again for almost a year when the guilt of not playing with echo like i said i would gets to me and i decide to power through it, dyslexia be damned. I get into heavensward and i'm fucking struggling because it's just so much text and i finally google for screenreaders, there's gotta be something, and i find one and i'm instantly an addict. I finish the entirety of msq through endwalker in no time and i'm so hooked and rambling at bon that he decides to come back too, he'd only quit because everyone else had as well.

Success. more friends in ffxiv. except bon is on a different data center....but it's the data center that a'miru is on! but he's almost 40 levels above me, i need to catch up!

long story short i blitzed through msq to catch up to bon on a'miru without REALLY paying attention things and then retroactively went and made all my headcanons lmao slowing down for ng+ has me rethinking some very specific things. It might actually make more sense this way. I never really knew what to do with stormblood, i think i do now.
