Dancer main

[jarbobreblob]

Oh this is funny.

Strictly monogamous is like.... As close as Jarbs would get to being in a relationship (coz tho his soul belongs to his husband, his heart belongs to Ul'dah. And also his husband). Really, he didn't care anything for any relationships and shot down Every advance anyone made. He's as Ace as they come.

I unfortunately don't really have anything else to add coz he's so cut and dry in this department but yeah. He's my no nonsense lil guy and he's just here to do his job. o7

Is your WoL polyamorous or strictly monogamous? Or are they simply uninterested in the whole thing?

[picaroroboto]

a unique thing about RPG Silent Protagonists is that while they're the Player Character/POV character, and almost always an important person in the setting, they're not always the Main Character of a given part of the story. Because they're the Player Character the story can't progress without them, but it's not always about them. The WoL has this going on in spades - there's so many times where the story is focused on a different character while the WoL basically stands off to the side in cutscenes watching, and fighting in Duties if nessacery. (side note: this is why complaints about Lyse "taking the credit" in Stormblood aren't valid IMO - you're not the main character of StB, she is!)

Anyways beyond a doubt I believe that Shadowbringers is truly the WoL's expac, because if you don't yet have a sense of who your WoL is as a character, you will certainly be thinking about it by the time they're choking on Light and on the verge of dying to save a world that isn't their's. Because even if there's only a few defined things about the WoL, those things are deeply intertwined in ShB's understanding of heroism and duty. Because ShB is, in essence, a multi-direction narrative foil pile-up.

13, 20, 21 for choose violence game

oooh, I should have maybe asked to specify fandom I don't know what fandoms I share with you offhand I'm just going to do what I feel strongest about

13) worst blorboficiation:

Because it's really the only such case I have any kind of problem with: Emet-Selch. Like, I get it to an extent. Best Final Fantasy villain and it ain't close, and that's coming from someone who has a lot of leftover teenage psychosexual feelings about Sephiroth.

Um, what was I saying?

I hate this man. I have even less sympathy for him than the game wants me to have, I think. FANTASTIC character, I want to kick him down a flight of stairs. And I think that's a pretty normal way to feel until I happen upon some art or fic from someone who hardcore ships him with their WoL (or honestly with anyone I do not want to think about this man fucking) and they are just picking up frequencies I cannot receive and don't want to. No moral judgement because I live in a glass house, but I shudder.

20) part of canon you found tedious or boring

I find this one difficult because honestly nothing sends me out the door faster than "boring." I'm having trouble coming up with non gameplay examples, and even there, level grinding is kinda soothing in the right mindset. thhhhbbth FFX sphere puzzles and those were okay the first time they're just a roadblock to slow me down on all replays.

OH oh oh real answer: Homestuck first Intermission. The ONLY part of it that entertains me is Spades Slick murdering clocks. I've tried to reread homestuck like 3 times and every time I hit this like a brick wall.

21) part of canon you think is overhyped

Berserk Conviction arc: idk that it's all that overhyped but it's fairly popular with the fandom. It's probably the segment with the best art but it's also the segment where I question the narrative choices the most. The Farnese stuff is good and Lost Children is good and the rest is either third hand Satanic Panic stuff or so miserable I have a hard time taking it seriously and I just kind of wish someone who had more of a relationship, positive or negative, with Christianity was writing this? Really where Berserk comes closest to its reputation of being mindless grimdark. I find its shortcomings kind of comforting, though? As in, Miura had shortcomings and was still one of the best to ever do it.

evil answer: FMA 2003. It's not hyped in the sense that most people do agree that the manga and/or Brotherhood is better, but imo overhyped because I just do not think it is good at all.

alternate evil answer: The Empire Strikes Back. I mean it's good but nothing is that good, folks. It's the meat in the Star Wars sandwich but without that which comes before or after, does it matter? No.

WOL Inspiration chart

The template is here for whoever wants to make it!

It honestly took me awhile to figure out the last inspiration I used for Tal when I first made him awhile back and then I finally remembered Oliver Queen was one of them.

Ichta Weaver

Midlander Hyur

She/Her

Age: 32 Height: 5'2" Affiliation: Sahagin/Twin Adders Canon Job: Omnihealer Canon Mount: Chocobo (Aurinkoth), Amaro (Sweetheart) Canon Minion: None Actual WoL?: Yes Azem: Persephone Relationship(s): Estinien

A girl from Tailfeather who stepped up to the plate to save everybody because if not me, who else? She has been driven by this 'If I don't do it and I can, I won't be able to live with myself' since the beginning and only into Stormblood did she start to come into herself as someone who actually found some joy in it. Joy in the companionship. Joy in the people. Rarely in the work.

She doesn't agonize over her 'job' as Warrior of Light, however, shouldering being a lightning rod of hate well and able to make hard decisions with a minimal amount of agonizing. It doesn't slide off of her, however. She lives with it. She has become strong enough to live with it. If Ichta has anything in spades, it is willpower and the ability to keep going.

Her most open relationships are with the Fortemps and the Clutch, holding both Edmondt and Clutchfather Novv as father figures of her own. Her fellow Scions and she have had some personal-relationship struggles in that for a very, very long time she put up a wall of emotional distance between them and only come Shadowbringers did she start tearing it down herself to be vulnerable with them. Especially when it came to the very, very unusual birth of her daughter, Ainwe and her unknown father. Now, socially, she spends a lot of time with Urianger, Thancred, and the Twins in particular when it comes to social visits....that aren't to Thavnair for a very-very-slow-burn-finally-igniting with a certain Crimson Dragoon.

Comes with a Dark Timeline AU.

Tagged by @mirrordaltokki

I don't really have anyone to tag that hasn't already been tagged, so if you stumble upon this somehow and haven't been, consider yourself tagged. xD

Just going to go in order of most recently updated, because why not.

1: Even Were I Blind: FFXIV, Haurchefant/named WoL, a sort of soulmate AU semi-fix it...thing. E rating, heavy on the angst, mostly set in Shadowbringers for the moment. Updated at random and sometimes extremely long intervals.

The first time he sees her, it stops him in his tracks.

2. Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Sun: FFXIV, Magnai/named WoL. M rated for now. Another ongoing fic being updated whenever the whims of fate allow. Definitely not entirely an excuse to torment Magnai.

Night falls over the Steppe, an endless expanse of star-strewn darkness settling over restless winds.

3. A Key (that could use a little turning): FFXIV, Sue-Rend/unnamed WoL. E rated. A self-indulgent one shot based entirely on the random thought of someone trying to distract the WoL during a bit of a heist.

“What is taking so long?”

4. Forever is Our Today: FFXIV, Azem/Emet-Selch. G rated. A fluffy little piece about a beach day, and my first foray into a fic exchange through a fanfic discord.

How many eons passing had it taken for wind and water to carve away the looming sea cliffs, to grind down the wall of rock into the finest of fragments?

5. Chances That Were Lost To Us Forever: FFXIV, Foulques/named WoL. E rated. I'll say it again: Foulques was done dirty by the lancer quests and he deserved better. This was my attempt to make it up to him.

It was just her fortune that the one cave she could find in the blinding storm already had an occupant.

6. A Dragon's Taste: FFXIV, Estinien/unnamed WoL. E rated. A silly idea inspired on a discord conversation that somehow turned into multiple chapters of smut.

"Ooh, what is that?"

7. Thus to Dream: FFXIV, Urianger/named WoL. M rated. A modern AU piece done for a trope challenge from a fanfic discord. Actually has a second chapter in progress, though when it will make it out of my WIP folder is anyone's guess. >_>

The wind drove the rain against the window, the sound less of a patter and more a collective thud.

8. Like Falling Stars, We Fade Away: FFXIV, Cerigg/named WoL. E rated. The Shadowbringers role quests NPCs are underappreciated. I also had an idea for a heat fic, using a different sort of heat for Au Ra that I wanted to try out. The BLM AU for my main WoL Vieryne.

Cerigg sighed heavily as he lowered his tankard to find Taynor's anxious visage at his side once more.

9. Birds of a Feather: FFXIV, Karasu/named WoL. E rated. I love this lunatic gremlin, and he was the perfect choice for Vieryne's NIN AU. Not much more needs be said, except perhaps that there's a second chapter in the works for this one as well.

“You've come far, my little chick!"

10. The Finer Points of the Craft: FFXIV, Brithael Spade/unnamed WoL. E rated. Still one of my favorite rarepairs. Just wanted to show the best crafting NPC some love...on an anvil...in the middle of the forge.

“Forgemaster?”

[itsjustmyunpopularopinion]

The WoL has stopped an entity that could only be defined as the God of Entropy from destroying not just a planet, but all of creation…and also eats gods for breakfast…and also their world’s equivalent of Satan…and God…

Also, the WoL can’t be held complicit in comitting a War Crime (or several)…so, in terms of morals, the WoL has it in spades.

considerations:

WoW has the most expansions under its belt and therefore the most world-ending threats conquered by the Champion

The WoL can change between like 20 unique combat classes at any time

The Commander has a voice and can dodge roll

Shatters: a gpose comic

Shatters is an au where Lamitt wasn't Ardbert's first traveling companion. Unfortunately for them both, Seela is pulled into the Source due to a failed [redacted] plot.

I figure I'll keep adding to this post as things develop.

I'm doing the best i can. I'm very open to critiques/tips/tutorials.

Here are some of the major players:

Seela Coldren

Seela is a Hume white mage from Voeburt. She fully dedicated her life to the healing arts and, in fact, was searching for a flower in Rak'tika to use in an experimental alchemical formula to help heal burn scars when she found Ardbert mostly dead behind a tree.

Ardbert Hylfyst

It's the Ardbert we all know and love!

"Meteor"

The Warrior of Light of the Source. He has a name but prefers his nickname. He's kind of a dork.

Brithael Spade

It's the lovable alcoholic blacksmithing ex-pirate you know.

Start here!

Sharing a few thoughts with my crafter AU ship. (Yesui/Brithael)

These are just my thoughts in my AU where we love one man, Brithael Spade. Don't mind me.

New Game +'d the Stormblood BSM Quests. Yesui's dealing with Sekka, while all the while biting her tongue. She knows she cannot flat out tell the girl not to confess her feelings for Brithael, but gods if she's not internally screaming. Brithael is infatuated with Yesui, but he has two naive women clipping his heels, unaware of how glaringly obvious it's been. Though he's offered her for drinks on more than one occasion, the work for the scions always seems to get in the way of a quiet moment.

I love, love, love the BSM Stormblood, and honestly hated the way Sekka's father tried his roundabout way of teaching her not to grasp for his approval. There were...so many better ways he could have approached that. Felt bad for her 95% of the time, but Brithael's been simping WoL since ARR. Honestly, I was really worried they were going to go with the ship the first time around.

Sekka can have, uh, that one samurai from the Hildy quests. I'd like to see her happy, just, not with Brithael. I'm pretty sure she'd just drive him more to the Drowning Wench anyhow.

((Fun side note, this is, oh gosh, the only post I've made so far that I haven't had to write EW spoilers. I do have some cute screenshots of Brithael- and Brithael with Yesui in that cute 90 Gear- that I'll post tomorrow as long as I remember.))
