Not everyone is able to play the patches immediately or within the embargo, and newer players may not be caught up at all. Asking you to be considerate of others is not "weird" and if you think that it is, you need to check your privilege.

Shout out to a bunch of random youtube channels that popped up on my timeline with uncensored screenshots of the new trial boss in the thumbnail WITHIN 48 HOURS OF THE PATCH GOING LIVE.

I was so freaking mad.

Legit I have not been able to play since 7.1 and the amount of stuff I've had spoiled for me has kinda made me not looking forward to playing again cause I won't be surprised by anything.

I'm unfortunately pretty picky about what gear I put Sullivan in, and am also restricted by both gender-locking and the fact that a lot of it just doesn't look good on him. I don't plan on changing his MSQ outfit but I might have more fun with other (non-canon) jobs.

Hyacinth my beloved.

You've curated a loving, accepting, and positive community that I feel loved and safe in. You're incredibly sweet and fun to hang out with both on and off stream. 🖤

And Atlas is, of course, Meteor's ancient, and the Azem responsible for things such as the grapes incident.

Melanthios and Anargyros died later, during the fall of Amaurot. They were mortally wounded when trying to flee the city, but Atlas summoned them to an area untouched by the flames; a field of flowers.

After they died, Atlas turned them into Elpis blooms and Nymian lilies.

Melanthios and Anargyros died in the Final Days.

Melanthios was in Elpis when it started. He was left without eyes due to the dynamis, and as Elpis fell, he was saved by Evangelos and taken back to Amaurot.

Apostolos and Evangelos died from their wounds after fighting off the Elpis blasphemies.

Melanthios and Anargyros were also known for creating the pegasos and monoceros, which were their gifts to each other. The first ones were named Apostolos & Evangelos, and they were the closest thing Melanthios & Anargyros had to children. Unlike the others, they were sapient and capable of speech.

Much like Melanthios, Anargyros was also known for his "eccentric" behavior, something that seemed to rub off onto future Azems such as Venat and Atlas.

Anargyros retired from the Seat of Azem at the same time as Melanthios. He continued traveling on and off until the Final Days.

Anargyros' soul was silvery blue and streaked with opalescence.

The streaks in he and Melanthios' souls were caused by frequent soulbonding, which they did as an extreme show of love for each other. Remarkably, they retained their senses of self despite this.

Anargyros was from a mountainous nation to the north, which was left in a perpetual winter due to an ancient war. Most crops were, as a result, either grown in greenhouses or imported, and non-edible plants were considered a luxury.

He considered Melanthios to be exceptionally rare and beautiful.

Anargyros was Haurchefant's ancient.

He was the second holder of the Seat of Azem, and also held the Seat for the longest. His good and charming nature helped win the hearts of many neighboring nations, and lead to lasting alliances.

Melanthios was also known for his "eccentric" behavior, such as walking around barefoot, not wearing his hood or mask, and transforming both in public and at work.

After retiring from the Seat of Halmarut, he began working in Elpis, outright refusing to return to the star.

Melanthios' soul was opalescent; white with ever-shifting colored specks, with streaks of silvery blue. The opalescent qualities were reflected in his eyes, which were rumored to never show the same color twice.

Melanthios was of a desert-dwelling race who were once known for plants and flowers growing in their footfalls, and Melanthios was the first one born with this gift in a long time.

He was well-known for having Elpis flowers growing from his scalp, and for growing flowers out of his palms as gifts.

Due to his relationship with Haurchefant and the events of Heavensward in particular, Sullivan is not very fond of Meteor, which is another reason why he never officially joined the Scions. The grudge and hatred is gone now, but the whole thing is still hard for him.

He is heavily involved in the story of ARR and Heavensward, however he joins Estinien in his travels from post-HW onward, and falls into the habit of showing up, being hot, and then promptly disappearing (like Estinien).
