the trolley problem

#gpose #gposers #ffxivgpose #meteorsurvivor #ryne #thancred

A gpose from Final Fantasy XIV of the default Warrior of Light (Meteor) and Minfilia (Ryne) aboard the trolley about to head to Nabaath Araeng in front of the glowing sky. Minfilia is tired from the day's emotional ordeals and is resting on Meteor's shoulder, and Meteor is looking down at her fondly. Thancred is out of focus in the foreground, sitting on the bench near both of them.

A gpose from Final Fantasy XIV of an Au Ra Warrior of Light with pale skin, long white hair and bright blue eyes, having taken Feo Ul's offer to become Titania. They're wearing a white gown, blue gloves and gold tiara, and wielding a glowing golden staff surrounded by butterflies, posing playfully and smiling serenely against the bright background of Il Mheg.

and a friend (?)

A gpose of the default Warrior of Light (Meteor) and Ryne in Final Fantasy XIV. They're both crouching down to observe a shoebill, inexplicably beneath the ocean. Ryne is smiling at it, while Meteor is staring at it with furrowed brows.

more ryne and meteor ft. post mt. gulg angst

#gpose #gposers #ffxivgpose #ryne #meteorsurvivor

A gpose from Final Fantasy XIV. The default Warrior of Light (Meteor) is lying in pain on the ground in Mt. Gulg, light dripping from his mouth. Ryne is kneeling over him, trying to heal him, while the rest of the Scions watch from behind them.

Meteor sitting on the windowsill in his apartment in the Pendants, the Light-flooded sky glowing through the open window behind him, slumped forward limply and clutching his head with one hand. Ryne is standing over him, cradling his head with one arm.

the top part comes from this harness model but it's altered so his chest is covered and then the plates on the belt look like they're from... i wanna say the wootz set?

The Doctore's Harness from Final Fantasy XIV.

come to think of it has anyone ever made a vanilla mashup of meteor's archer fit from the shadowbringers trailer

THAT WAS WHAT STARTED ME ON THIS... the points where they do get to play off each other are already really interesting but the amano art paints such a vivid picture of what they could have actually had as a central dynamic if the wol as a protagonist could accommodate that

maybe i should make a specific tag for this whole "what if SHB was a standalone game where meteor was a whole characterized guy" thing

"'Tis a strange feeling. So many times have I watched you depart, my heart filled with worry, and ever did you return to me in triumph.

Someday, when I have found a way to free this star from Her sorrow, I promise you I shall repay the favor."

#gpose #gposers #ffxivgpose #wolfilia

A gpose from Final Fantasy XIV. Thancred is supporting a wounded male miqo'te Warrior of Light back into the Solar, while Minfilia looks on in worry.

Minfilia as the Word of the Mother, gently holding the head of the same WoL as he entreats her with a hand clutched to his chest.

i've mused on it before but i think the fact that x'inra still exclusively uses haurchefant's black chocobo would mean that in a modern AU he's still driving his dead ex's hand-me-down car

#wolquestion #wolqotd
What type of car would your wol(oc) drive?

specter learns to gpose @ 7.3 @specterxiv.bsky.social · 1d

context for the first panel: thancred mistook x'inra for a butch girl when he first met him and hit on him accordingly before hearing his voice and realizing his error (and never fully recovering psychosexually)

context for the second panel: this REALLY hits worse with past wolfilia

Thancred: I understand the desire to look for reasons. For excuses. To convince yourself you had no choice.
