Hello and welcome to A'rhya Writes! A little bit about me:

A'rhya Velorë, Warrior of Light

Seeker of the Sun Miqo'te

Astrologian and Paladin main, but I play most jobs! (<- Terminal omnicrafter [affectionate] )

Data Center Primal, Server Behemoth

I've been playing since just before Endwalker dropped and finally caught up to MSQ just as Dawntrail was gearing up to drop. Ive been writing snippets for nearly that long, even more since my beautiful wife @mersi-kokhavasheva started playing and I could smoosh our WoLs together like dolls.

I'm planning to post original writing and screenshots here, as well as hopefully taking commissions eventually! Please send me asks and interact so I can get to know the community!

do you prefer running dungeons for the first time with other players or npcs

other players

npcs

Remaining time: 1 hour 1 minute

#npcs because i like seeing their dialouge when we're doing it #after that its other people only

yyymmmrrr

i am sorry i thought y'shtola will look cool in this outfit. i am no better than a man...

In the timeline post about the Circle of Knowing I put a lot of emphasis on Thancred having Archon marks at 17 but in hindsight I maybe should have dwelled more on Y'shtola who not only was also an Archon at 17, but also after graduating from ten years of study in Matoya's cave, immediately left to become an active disciple of her mentor's bitterest rival, and I think that is an aspect of their relationship that perhaps doesn't get enough attention. Both the fact that Y'shtola Did That, and the fact that fifteen years later they are on speaking terms.

Imagine. You're Matoya. You've had this catgirl apprentice for like ten years that you didn't actually want but your culture considers it your responsibility as an Archon to mentor the Youths so you couldn't just kick her out, so instead you were a hardass on purpose hoping she'd quit. But it turns out she was as stubborn as you were strict and she stayed and completed her whole education in your cave and now she's an Archon at 17 and damn it, you're proud of her in spite of it all. Meanwhile the whole colony is planning an exodus back to the motherland. You don't give a shit. You like your cave. You hate the Forum. Put your thesis in the Forbidden section, will they? Fine, you'll seal it away from even them, and go live in a cave. And now that Leveilleur asshole with his prophecies and his doomsaying and his godsdamned seventh verse of Mezaya seven waning moons who gives a fuck is sniffing around your apprentice for some secret society he's forming. Hah! She would never. Except she comes back to the cave to pack up all her stuff and says, Farewell, Master. I'm joining the Circle of Knowing. Master Louisoix wants to send me to Vylbrand. And you're like what the fuck. What the absolute fuck. You're doing what. You're joining whomst. You're what. Farewell, she says, and she leaves and what are you going to do about it. You're not leaving your cave. Everyone packs up and leaves and the colony lies abandoned. You stay in your cave. The Forum says, well, so long as you're staying, can you keep an eye on the Antitower for us. You flip them off. Thanks, they say, and they leave. You don't see your apprentice again for fifteen years.

Fifteen years later, she walks in without knocking and says, It's been too long, Master Matoya. Is that fucking Louisoix's granddaughter you have in tow, you say. Grandson, she says. Whatever, you say. You manage to say something halfway nice about his grandfather.

I need access to your forbidden research, your apprentice says.

You look at her. All grown up and saving the world and not even holding a grudge about all those things you said when she left.

You sigh.

You say, Very well.

Just like that? she says. She's surprised.

Just like that.

I find it amusing, the idea of Erenville out there traveling around and comes across someone who starts talking to him and they're bragging about how they're close friends with the Warrior of Light and Erenville is just sitting there listening to them talking about him like they know him, but it is becoming more and more clear that this person has literally never met him before in their life, but Erenville is just sitting there not saying anything and letting them continue to put their foot in their mouth.

As this begins to breach containment I think there is very important context that is missing if you don't know me...

I wrote this about my own WoL with whom Erenville is intimately acquainted with.

Okay now that the spoiler embargo is over, the best thing about the patch was how clearly down horrendous Jullus is and how completely oblivious Zero is to it. He makes her a fresh hot meal and presents it to us blushing about it and she's like oh thanks I'll share with Golbez, he hasn't been eating people lately so he probably needs it. Our autistic lesbian icon

yyymmmrrr

Well come and well met, my brave little spark

FFXIV raids are a major vocal stim hazard to me - I love just blurting out lines like "Webs... LIKE UNTO CHAINS!" or "A PACK OF WOLVES" or "I am the Emissary, and I shall never die" apropos of nothing whenever I'm in a period where I'm actively playing the game.

#i basically read the entirety of fru's transcript out loud when im running it
