extremely belated day 4: vapor | #ffxivfanfic

one of the most exhausting pieces i’ve written, but also deeply cathartic. anyway if you were wondering why cassius looks like such a miserable sopping wet cat of a man when i post about him, this is why.

A Garlean Warrior of Light reaps what he once sowed.

what is the wildest, most unhinged AU / canon divergent scenario, timeline, etc that you’ve put your WoLs or non-WoL OCs into?

Re-posting these are they are meant to be seen. The very catholic triptych showcasing the Ysayle, Haurchefaunt, and Aymeric.

Ysayle with hands in prayer, eyes closed and head tilted up with a halo. Haurchefaunt smiling while holding his sword before him with a heart that has a wound. Aymeric, bent over his head in his hands looking tired a crown floating over his head.

Zenos can most definitely catch a fish with his teeth like a bear, that's what he was doing for food after the moon

AHHH i haven't named one after cotton or cotton candy you're right!! thank you this is perfect

Solaire @solairelunaire.bsky.social · 1d

honestly while i'm Interested in c+ and tweaking appearance for my other OCs i cannot bring myself to change any of yves' standard look. he's doomed to live that disco elysium quote

You - “What is beauty?”

Klaasje (Miss Oranje Disco Dancer) - “When you have the fewest deviations from the norm. I’ve been told it’s a type of mediocrity that I possess.”

Solaire @solairelunaire.bsky.social · 1d

ic: yves's eyes in combination with his cool demeanor make the strongest impression of any of his features. also dragoon thighs

ooc/meta: i think folks like his glams, but that's more to do with elezen being a fashion designer's dream walking mannequin shape than his traits in particular...

Solaire @solairelunaire.bsky.social · 1d

yves with any kind of long hair just feels like a legolas ripoff 😭

#yveslore
yves is absolutely a type 1 (possibly 1w2). he's aware of the flaws of said type and his own personality, but i think it's very hard to separate "his role/duties as the warrior of light" from "his own fragile and thin sense of self" at this point

Screenshot from https://www.narrativeenneagram.org/enneagram-type/type-1-the-perfectionist/ :

Enneagram Type 1
The Perfectionist
Perfectionists believe they must be good and right to be worthy. Consequently, Perfectionists are conscientious, responsible, improvement-oriented and self-controlled, but also can be critical, resentful and self-judging.

What Type Ones Tell Us About Themselves:
I live with a powerful inner critic that monitors my thoughts, words and deeds.
I strive for perfection and feel responsible for making things right.
I focus on being good while repressing my impulses and desires for pleasure.
I get angry when important rules and standards are ignored or violated.
I seek love and approval from others by being good and right.
