Donovan Thorne, Grey Warden, unwittingly a Rook

[hmslusitania]

Origins: the world is ending and you and your one remaining coworker are the only option left to save it.

II: the unavoidable tragedy of a queer friend group/polycule trying and failing to save their fucked up city

Inquisition: you went to a conference and accidentally ended up in charge of saving the entire world (again) with a team of colleagues who are (mostly) professionals and outstanding in their fields.

**

Veilguard:

Rook: hey, I suffered from “sudden field promotion” after “fucking everything up worse than it already was.” I’m putting a team together to kill at least one, maybe three, Gods

Seven of the most unwell people in Thedas: say no more, I’m in

DecembHyur 2023 Day XIV: Water

[capriccio-ffxiv]

Screenshots of Deryk's descriptions of the Ancients that the Twelve were based on. I have included alt text on all images for ease of use.

At present, we have definitive evidence of two of the Twelve's names as Ancients: Althyk (Alkaios) and Nymeia (Maira). They appear in the quest chain that starts with "An Expected Guest." If you finish this quest chain, Althyk and Nymeia will comment on recognizing your Warrior of Light.

Gotta say, I love FFXIV's dedication to making its main straight couples just straight-up parodies of stereotypical hetero relationships.

The Chais seem at first like "Fat, stupid, overbearing wife and her whipped, henpecked husband who regrets marrying her" , but once you get to know them you realize they really do love each other, Chai-Nuzz is just like, depressed and has no self-esteem, and when Dulia-Chai "pushes" him to something, it's because she knows him well enough to know he wants to do or say something, but isn't letting himself. Also the only comment he ever makes about her being fat is that she is just as beautiful as when they first met. Dulia's "stupidity" is also portrayed as her being ill-suited to the sort of situations she's put in early on, but she has her own strengths and moments to shine, and her simple view of the world inspires the solution to a massive problem.

And then the Leveilleurs are "strict, paternalistic, cold authority figure and his inexplicably kind housewife", but Forchenault really does have a heart, and is just under so much fucking stress all the time, and he tries his best to make up for the incredibly cliche "bad father" situations he gets put in by the literal coming of the apocalypse, and Ameliance is like, a clever, slightly ruthless mastermind who is really genuinely into Forchenault's "stubborn old goat" thing. She talks about her husband like some girls on here talk about like, Saul fucking Goodman.

Some peak fucking relationship writing really.
