mostly i use that as a way to turn some of my KOs into part of the narrative kdfghldf musosai killed me twice so now grishkin saw her death the night before and was prepared to dodge in Crucial Moments. OH OH OH and sometimes echo-havers can appear in/witness each others dreams if they sleep nearby
grishkin usually remembers them pretty clearly. she grew up being taught they were lessons from the subconscious that she needs to interpret. i also hc that the echo sometimes shows her glimpses of moments soon to come where she's killed, so that she can avoid that outcome in real life

How well does your wol / oc remember their dreams or nightmares? Have these ever become reality after they dreamt of it?

Re-posting these are they are meant to be seen. The very catholic triptych showcasing the Ysayle, Haurchefaunt, and Aymeric.
it def affects her afterwards too. i hc that grishkin suffers chronic pain for years bc the Light combined with her cells and can't be easily removed. she gets her personality back though! just now has to spend a lot more time consciously resting and recuperating w specific medication and treatments
it's also visible physically but she's usually covered completely head to toe. in the rare moments she takes off her mask u can see the roots of her hair are lightening and she's starting to get gold speckles in her eyes. her canines get longer too, like she's fitted a white-gold set over the top
physical contact became impossible bc whenever she touches a living thing, aether-osmosis happens and Light leeches out of her body into the other :// the Light also corrodes some aspects of her personality as she loses herself and she becomes extremely irritable and short-tempered

How did absorbing light-aspected aether from the Sin Eaters affect your WOL/OC during the events of Shadowbringers? Does the effect of light poisoning still linger currently?

Haurchy as Scion! I did one for Ysayle/Esty a long time ago. Always wanted to make one for him ✨
Sorry there isn't much armor lol, I feel like most of Scion's fits revolve around a 'travel light' and 'modern' vibe.

this comes from my hcs abt the norms and values an isolated, matriarchal 100% keeper society entirely devoted to the goddess of love would develop. they're certainly not doing monogamous heteronormativity lmfao
i genuinely don't think she'd have a single word to describe her sexuality tho i think she'd just be like "idk i'm normal" and then be surprised to discover queer polyamory isn't the norm in a lot of the world dklfghfkld
gender-wise grishkin would call herself a 'daughter' before a 'woman', though both are accurate. for sexuality she'd probably say something waffley and vaguely culty like "i live by menphina's guidance and am open to loving all those under her light". in a modern au she'd just say queer
late night #wolqotd inspired by a tumblr post:
how would your oc describe their sexuality and/or gender? like if they had to tell another person how would they go about it

snowdrops :)) the first flower in spring + she's from an icy climate, her arrival in eorzea is her metaphorical springtime. they're also fairly unassuming, like her, and can be missed if you're not looking out for them. and cute <33
#wolqotd - what flower(s) would you associate with your wol/oc? Is it because of the design? The meaning? The standard colors? Do they wear them or keep them in their home?
its so cute how the shades clap for you when u beat chronos 😭
i wouldn't bother trying to get to the final zone in the wrong direction in hades ii. scary. just call it quits at the third boss. 👍
been playing hades ii and thought apollo's voice is soooo familiar to me so i look it up and it's alphinaud 😭 alphinaud m'boy!!
