SER OTIS VELONA THE GOAT

[eemamminy-art]

Rambling about 7.0 msq spoilers and ships ahead 🥴

Okay so. If you've talked to me at all about dawntrail spoilers privately you know this: I love Otis. I fucking LOVE Otis. Loyal knight who puts his charge above his own life? AND he's a robot? This hole was made for me etc. etc. (and to boot I loved the english VA's voice ever since I heard him as Thaliak in myths of the realm 👀) so when during the mock up play in "A Knight of Alexandria" the actress playing Sphene calls Otis "my dearest" and Lamaty'i repeats it to call attention to it, you know I was like "holy shit. I am never shutting up about this EVER. He gave his life up for her TWICE and even this simulacrum of him is still so torn up over her? Gutted, I'm so here for this hi hello"

However also.... Sphene and Lamaty'i are possibly the closest thing to a femslash ship ffxiv has ever given us other than maybe rynegaia or zershtola (or fordolyse in 4.1, the gayest patch ever and here's why I love stormblood in this essay I will--) I SEE the vision!! Even as I was crying about Otis I was like dude but the doomed yuri is right there. It's so tragic 👀 Never to be but also what if...? In another life....?

Basically:

and mostly I've been leaning toward Sphene/Otis, but gosh. Oh goodness me. I saw the rerecorded scene? You know, from the trial? Lamaty'i screaming her heart out while Sphene utters this quiet "Lamaty'i." I was like, tearing up genuinely. I'M TEARING UP THINKING ABOUT IT AGAIN AAAAAAAA

I think Sphene is a really curious case for me. I'm typically not that into very feminine women and prefer androgynous or masc women, and also knowing it's not the "real" her I have been like, well. I don't need to get attached. But I'm such a romantic lol I keep thinking about who she was. And even though that's not the Sphene we meet, and Lamaty'i is well aware of that, I think she's fallen for the ghost of her too. She sees that the person who is long gone was so kind and compassionate, and sees mirrors of herself in her. She offers up her kindness and empathy to the endless Sphene, even knowing it's a recreation of her made out of data and raw energy. She's a good person like that 🥺

So now I find myself being like fuck, I really like both ships. 😫 I think if Otis had lived-- be it "living" as an endless or his real soul continuing to live in the mechanical body-- I think he would have accepted Sphene's love for Lamaty'i with open arms. He's just happy to see her happy, you know? 🥺 I'm sure Lamaty'i would accept him too, she already loves him for all that he did for Gulool Ja, I could imagine the four of them as a happy little family... if things weren't all doomed from the start 😭 ooouuuuggghhhhh

Anyway yeah I just wanted to get out my thoughts on this 👀 it's the main thing that's really gripped me by the throat in dawntrail!!

Well. Besides that elezen goldsmith from Ul'dah that we see all of three times 😂

7.0 Spoilers / Dawntrail Spoilers

I finished MSQ recently and wanted to celebrate with some doodles of (older lol) characters that caught my eye. And also my WoL!

[dawntrails]

KNIGHT OF ALEXANDRIA.

[goldgargoyles]

knightfailure so awesome you see him twice

[tritoch]

I was in the middle of writing a post about how funny to me it is that living memory is like "okay everyone in the party has to kill their own mom" (krile also has to kill her own dad) and then for the warrior of light you get otis.

like instead of Your Literal Mom, as energetic and vibrant as she's ever been, as beautiful and angelic as a dead wife on a home video in an action movie, you get an alternate timeline identity splinter of a guy you kind of met for a little bit once

AND THEN I was like. Hang on. Alternate timeline identity splinter of a guy you met for a little bit once...

close enough welcome back Ardbert (2015-2016, died again 2019)

Recently did a Secret Santa exchange over on Discord and I got Mr. K from @velona-pony-fashion! Had a lot fun drawing this boy! ^^

Bonus sticker!

A designer unmatched in creativity and design, yet I fear what fury lies within him…

Sketched Mr. K, a character whose story I’m patiently looking forward to!

@velona-pony-fashion

Had forgotten how tough it is to properly draw clothes on Ponies, though I’m still proud of how I drew his outfit!
