Hey! I'm Raph, I write, I draw, I know the name of things. I don't interact with "proshippers" and quite despise that lot.

I talk a lot about gay knights and also dragons.

Here's some of my art!

Illustration of a trifling standing in front of a stained glass window where the symbol of Lathander from DnD highlights his head like a halo.

A sketch of Aymeric in medieval accurate clothes — appearing more like a peasant.

A traditional painting of a dragon and a knight in an embrace, the dragon wears red and the knight wears blue to contrast one another.

A sketch of Aymeric looking down. He's not wearing a shirt and has some bodacious bonkers and chest hair.

i think for like three months i've moved on from aymeric and then he hits me over the head with a frying pan

gaymeric @naeglings.bsky.social · 19h

exactly. with destiny there was Your Guardian and then there was the Default Young Wolf who most people consider to be their own character. so the ocs people would make were basically npcs also. they existed in the setting but it didn't revolve around them. ykwim never seen a fandom like xiv before

gaymeric @naeglings.bsky.social · 19h

it's kinda shocking to me how little npc/npc stuff there is out there even with like thancred and urianger. i come from the destiny community originally and its really not pc based over there so it's been a strange experience for me seeing ocs have the dominant voice in character spaces

for real 😭 biggest complaint i have is how all* of them downplay aymeric and estinien's canon friendship so their wol can be More Important or something. idk. reeks of either homophobia or insecurity. or both

*exaggerating here but it is a common thread ive noticed

gaymeric @naeglings.bsky.social · 20h

there's been a Lot of people straight up posting about how "trite" or "boring" or (can't forget this banger) "toxic" e/stimeric is w/o censoring it for the past few months. notably by a lot m/f w*lshippers unfortunately

i think the ginormous amount of nuclear family heteronormative w**meric out there should be studied in a lab.

gaymeric @naeglings.bsky.social · 7d

🤔

gaymeric @naeglings.bsky.social · 7d

had to get this out of my system. myyyy ravion dragonism headcanons.

gaymeric @naeglings.bsky.social · 9d

estinien vc i could care less about what i wear but i do like imaging my friend aymeric wearing gay little outfits i pick out for him

gaymeric @naeglings.bsky.social · 10d

if he really really wanted a kid, honestly i think he would adopt. because he knows what that's like, and feels like it'd be more important to give an already living child a better life than Continuing The Bloodline or w/e

gaymeric @naeglings.bsky.social · 10d

the guy canonically has some sort of Complex about it and while it's not overly explored in canon i wish more people would touch on it

gaymeric @naeglings.bsky.social · 10d

and i think the idea of even having children genuinely kinda scares him. what with being a bastard, and straight up having in his profile that he doesn't want anyone else like him (a bastard) to exist in ishgard as in an "i don't want anyone else to experience what i and so many others did." way

gaymeric @naeglings.bsky.social · 10d

i think aymeric is frustrated by the concept of being a husband/father and the Pressure To Be Those Thing as expected by ishgardian society at large.

gaymeric @naeglings.bsky.social · 10d

and i think it's interesting to explore with aymeric! who is unmarried at 32 with no kids and, notably, the last of the borel line

gaymeric @naeglings.bsky.social · 10d

i have many thoughts about the heteronormativity in ishgardian upper class. sure i like my fantasy not having homophobia/transphobia but it's hard to ignore the implications behind a society and class who are expected to Get Married, Have Kids, Continue The Line

gaymeric @naeglings.bsky.social · 10d

i miss aymeric so bad they need to make a heavensward 2

Janet saying: Fun fact: Columbus is in the Bad Place
because of all the raping, slave trade, and genocide.

gaymeric @naeglings.bsky.social · 14d

idk man i just think at some point people are just being homophobic about estimeric. you don't see m/f npc/npc or npc/oc ships get as much constant hate

BANGING MY FIST AGAINST THE TABLE ITS NOT FAIR

gaymeric @naeglings.bsky.social · 25d

i see you comparing him to the divine ser varlineau. (to the tune of i saw your chanel boots mr sky walker)

gaymeric @naeglings.bsky.social · 25d

chat. no one understands the significance of estinien saying he'd buy aymeric some gold silk Before saying he'll get him blue.

gaymeric @naeglings.bsky.social · 25d

estinien spending all the money he gets from world leaders on aymeric. the real reason he turned down aymeric's job offer in endwalker is because he would've just been spending money he got from aymeric on aymeric
