AKA I could stare at Z in his HoH glam for literally forever- him and his little slutty windows and sacrilegious tramp stamp and grab-able hips.

Is it a spirit dancing between the bamboo and sakura blossoms or just a late night wanderer?

I was in today anyway so I thought to look and illustrate how silly this is. Also, Aymeric is actually SIX FOOT SIX, so somehow taller than I thought.

The thing that cracks me up about this is that BOTH my ships have a decent height gap; G'raha is 5'2 to Z's 6' even and Zia is 5'8 to Aymeric's (I think? I can't remember the real number) 6'4 🥴 It is WAY too much fun to giggle at how short Raha is tho~

Joyous birth! I don't have much with him actually in it, but I do love the terrible vanishing trash man. He's my second favorite Trust AOE stander~ You already know how I am about him 😂

social structure too. I have fun thinking about how different races look at whatever miqos have going on and how weird they find it compared to their own systems 😂

As for my own answer: I made miqo more animal-like in their behavior- things like mating cycles/marking, being socially territorial, having an instinctual enrage, dancing as a cultural cornerstone. I took existing lore to extrapolate on how I think Seekers/Keepers differ in their mating behavior and

I know it's been asked before, but I wanna talk about it: what did YOU the player change/add to the race you play outside of canon? Can be an expansion of existing lore or something you just made up because it's fun~

Also yes; Z hated Sphene up until she was a real person again. Now he can't feel any kind of vitriol because she's not the same nor was this her fault and he can see that reason. He's much more okay with the one who isn't acting weird and has a real soul.

How to get him to like you: ask him about his husband.

And yes, even Z's *adoptive* parent is dead, but at least he only remembers the one (wibbly wobbly he's a magic parallel universe baby and never had real parents, but hush)

No seriously, write in to complain about the changes to guidelines- they didn't listen last time. This is terrible for artists and Bluesky is pulling a TUMBLR. Where the hell do we have left to go if this place gets fucked up too now? I'm so sick of starting over on a new platform every few years...

Part 3/3

I refuse to believe we can't switch classes mid-combat, actually. We're cool and special- we can do what we want; Shadowbringers said so. It's also SO FUNNY I get to rag on Thncred for dropping the agro ball when HE TAUGHT Z HOW TO GNB-
Plus bonus shot because I love doing expression work~

My timeline in-game is a little short, so Z hasn't changed much *physically*, just emotionally/mentally and his teeth are fucked now. His '''god''' died so he got his eye back. He finally changes his hair time to time.
The two oldest pics I have vs newer ones~
