YEAH! YEAH!!! I have a lot of feelings about the wol being 'the pile of bones he left beyond the rift'.

I don’t actually know where I’m going with this I was just sketching out ideas but also: Marcel trying to helpfully sweep up all the pieces and being surprised when the Exarch rebuilds himself makes me happy.

I don't want to write a story I just want to directly blast my feelings right into people's brains

There's a Feo Ul/Exarch/Lyna story in the new chronicles of light that everyone is extremely normal about!

I have a problem and it's 'drawing comics before I actually figure out the script or even the general vibe' oops

"If they are of no value to you, give them to me. These shards of your will-of mankind's determination. They are beautiful beyond compare."

Exarch sitting bent over as his arm crumbles. Feo Ul has a shard of his arm in their hands as they hover over him.

In Final Fantasy Tactics if a unit gains too much faith they leave your party to go find God. Have you ever wondered what would happen if you had Beast Tongue and got a monster unit to maximum faith? Of course you haven't. No one has.

a snippet written in reaction to the new exarch story. 💎🔨 #crystalexarch
#nautwrites

He could not bring himself to drive the hammer down.

His breath rattled in his ears, hissing wetly on the exhale. He tightened his grip on the hammer; it was his off-hand, but it would have to do.

He could not feel the stone floor beneath his palm, only the intolerable seam between crystal and flesh, jagged crystal rending through muscle and fascia with every wrong move. Raha chokes on a sob, sweaty red strands falling into his eyes; he shoves them out of the way irritably with the back of his hand.

He hefts the hammer, aiming above his target. Bends his elbow back as he tests the weight. Swinging once. Twice. Always coming just shy of the crystal, glimmering faintly in the hearthlight.

It's a sculpture. It's not you. You cannot even feel it. He tries again to bend his fingers, to crook his thumb. There are no tendons nor nerves to convey the action. It isn't his arm anymore, he knows that. It's the Tower's cost.

Raha shoves the belt between his teeth, incisors biting into the leather as he swings the hammer down.

It clinks harmlessly against the sapphire. False start. That's alright. He has nothing but time to get this right.

$Three bedridden weeks wasted. Four sin eaters attacks he could not save them from. Twenty or more deaths. They were still digging the graves in the lilac hills. Saliva pools down his chin. He takes a long, shuddering breath, and drives the hammer once more. The hammer glances off one fractaled edge before spinning out of his hand, knocking over a stool as it spirals beneath the bed. Raha swears inarticulately through the belt. "Come on," he grunts, dragging the dumb, useless weight of his arm as he struggles to wedge himself beneath the bed. Staring at the cobwebs and moldering dust, Raha reconsiders his course. There were doubtless volumes in the Crystal Tower's libraries he hadn't accessed. There was no logic behind this choice. There was always another way. Crystal shreds through his flesh as he reaches for the hammer. He scrabbles out of the bed, staggering for a moment before collapsing against the wall, clutching the hammer as if it were the only thing left to him. His back slides down the wall, and he grimly presses the crystal arm down onto the stone floors. He couldn't sleep another night with this weight attached to him. He shoves the belt between his teeth, grinding down on his molars as he readies his arm again. He doesn't look at the crystal when he swings— instead he casts his gaze a little further. Told himself he would only drive the hammer into the stone floor. Raha's arm shatters in a profusion of crystal shards and viscera.$

marina no, but she does have vivid nightmares of all the ways a battle could have gone wrong, as in all the visual markers being echo warnings of failed attempts

alisaie's echo awoke during the final days but haunts her with possible futures rather than flashbacks, and unhelpfully cryptic hints

I don't know if this has been asked recently, but has your wol/non-wol echo-haver seen any visions with the echo outside of those we see in canon? If so, how do they respond to knowing things that they shouldn't about the people around them?

Lyal's Echo started when he was about 3, so yes, he's seen plenty. In a way, it did cause him to grow up faster (mentally) than the other children in the village of his age, often being privy to the thoughts and experiences of those far older than him.

He learned to keep quiet about it.

Yes! Including the more vague images and feelings from creatures, like Nutkin. Kimi generally tries to respect the privacy of others and keeps things to herself, though she's not the best at acting/lying, heh

man not an FF thing but: when transcribing alt text for something that includes deliberate misspellings (in this case dril tweets), should you use the misspellings or the correct ones?
