Icipher gets chicken tendies with fries and extra ranch. Maybe a cheeseburger but only if it's a really good burger place like in n out/shake shack/culvers/steak n shake

i have a completely unironic omegaverse au where icipher is an alpha and aymeric is an omega

Also, the only meat she had growing up was easy to preserve meat like sausages and salt pork, and they were usually only used sparingly in the dishes she ate, so she's never quite liked the taste of a straight up steak.

Nowadays she's a member of Ishgard's nobility which has forced her to expand her palate, and while she does enjoy the occasional expensive elaborate meal, most of the time she'd rather just have soup, bread and cheese.

The knights running the orphanage let her use the cheaper plentiful ingredients to cook her own food, so a simple potato soup was one of the first things she learned how to cook, and it's still one of her favorite foods to this day.

Icipher grew up in an orphanage so she mostly ate simple food that was easy to prepare in bulk like stews and pottages. But she was picky and didn't like most green vegetables, and she would just eat bread the nights emerald soup was served until she learned how to cook for herself.

Crying in front of him, and later confessing just how deeply she loves him, it was all so terrifying for her but cathartic when it happened, and it eventually felt really good.

For other people, if she acts impatient and curt that's usually a sign she's hiding deeper emotions.

Icipher Septim's ucob arc @icipherterminus.bsky.social · 14h

Bearing her heart is one of the hardest things for Icipher. It used to be so bad that her deepest emotions often only manifested in violent DRK episodes.

But eventually she's able to share with Aymeric, he makes her feel safe and validates her.

Honestly Icipher is just used to being confused at this point, she'll just be stoic and hope no one questions her about what to do, and maybe she'll get the proper context later.

Lucien acts similarly but as a new WoL he's not really used to being confused yet.

Depends on the situation for Icipher:

mornings: Ishgardian milk tea
evenings/special occasions: red wine
any other time: herbal tea and lemonade

Icipher surprisingly doesn't exert a lot of physical strength when wielding a sword or lance, because her body has such a high concentration of aether she expels a lot of it instead of physical exertion, so she's chubbier and less muscular that most people think under the armor.

If Icipher knows them and has a positive relationship with them, she won't hesitate to hug them. She knows the healing power of a tight embrace.

Let's just say, Icipher gets angrier for every year TWOW is delayed

Icipher attends a state dinner in Ul'dah, not as the Warrior of Light but as a representative of Ishgard. Being in this very spot again triggers far too many emotions, but Aymeric soothes her mind, despite feeling the very same anxieties himself.

i should make more very specific shitposts based on my character

Icipher Septim's ucob arc @icipherterminus.bsky.social · 1d

Icipher has 3, usually simple with meat and sauce only, maybe onion or pineapple, usually with a starchy side like corn.

Icipher is on the sofa, working on a small handheld puzzle, mug of herbal tea by her side, fireplace burning hot but not too hot, resting against Aymeric as he reads a book. Everything is perfect other than the fact that she's worried about getting sick again.

It really depends on if Icipher's dark side is coming out. She'd rather be logical and think things through before making any rash decisions, but her drk persona often comes out and makes decisions for her.

Definitely Icipher's wariness of other people and need for solitude conflicting with her deep loneliness and desire for connection. But this is why Aymeric is the perfect partner for her, he'll give her space if she needs it but also loves her deeply.

and they're argument is always, ALWAYS, "well you're just a hw stan and actually hw is the worst expansion" which is just hypocritical

Icipher Septim's ucob arc @icipherterminus.bsky.social · 1d

like i guess the setting, worldbuilding, politics and everything that make the setting so interesting doesn't matter because it wasn't emotionally manipulative

today someone told me that i was wrong for hating shb/ew because "they're the heart of xiv" and it REALLY rubs me the wrong way

Icipher Septim's ucob arc @icipherterminus.bsky.social · 1d

this makes me want to get more nose rings

Certain people don't see Icipher as a person, just as an ultra powerful being to be used at their disposal. This caused her a lot of mental harm and made her eventually decide to stop being the WoL and cut off most contact from the Scions except for Estinien and Tataru.

Sometime soon I also wanna get an Ishgard crest tattoo.
