Jalliim leaned over to Ejvi and whispered. "Ejvi… I think he dyed that chicken green. Is that okay for the bird?"

Ejvi considered a moment, then whispered back, "I guess it would depend on what kind of dye he used."

"It was a perfectly good dye!" Gilgamesh bellowed, somehow hearing their conversation. "He picked it out himself!"

"Though," Ejvi continued whispering to Jalliim, "he does keep calling that hen 'he.'"

"They're perfectly good pronouns!" Gilgamesh bellowed. "He picked them out himself!"

....what is FFXI even about

[crabsinvideogames]

Final Fantasy XI

Crabs can be found throughout Vana'diel, with the river crabs in particular appearing as low-level mobs around each of the three starting cities.

This design would later be reused in Final Fantasy XIV Online.

I love FFXI because no matter what level you are there is always a crab, rabbit, or lizard somewhere who can murder your ass.

Expectations...

[hallabun]

aymeric has got to be the funniest character ever. notable pretty boy. serious and stern in appearance. has clawed and scraped his way up ishgardian society to gain the power needed to enact reform. has immense political connections. an expert in diplomacy and manners. attends formal events on the regular since it is required of him. a skilled dancer who is the talk of noble women. is voted in as lord speaker and is in charge of the temple knights. is by all means the ultimate catch who could have anyone he wants.

and yet! he does not like doing Any of this!!! he is still single in his 30s. he wants to quit his job and see the world, but won’t because he feels morally obligated to stay. despite having his pick of anyone in ishgard, he becomes enamored with the adventurer who not only arrives in ishgard as a fugitive, but immediately gets in trouble with the heaven’s ward and crashes into ishgard on the back of a dragon more than once.

he is the cause of awkward silence at alliance meetings on more than one occasion due to how passionate he gets, and he fumbles around when asking wol to dinner and can’t keep his emotions in check around them.

his adoptive parents (who were by all accounts a nice elderly couple) have passed on and the only family he has left is his birth father who mocks him for his idealism and does not love him; he is visibly ruffled when this is used against him in a debate. he loves sweets and gets excited about the starlight celebration and volunteers to hand out gifts to children. he has a dodo omelette recipe he uses to convince lucia, the literal garlean spy he spared, about the joys of cooking. this does not work.

he walks around on guard duty in a neon blue elephant suit for reasons we can only speculate about. what the fuck is wrong with this guy (affectionate).

You know, when I see fictional characters who repress all their emotions, they're usually aloof and very blunt about keeping people at a distance, sometimes to an edgy degree—but what I don't see nearly enough are the emotionally repressed characters who are just…mellow.

Think about it. In real life, the person that's bottling up all their emotions is not the one that's brooding in the corner and snaps at you for trying to befriend them. More often than not, it's that friendly person in your circle who makes easy conversation with you, laughs with you, and listens and gives advice whenever you're upset. But you never see them upset, in fact they seem to have endless patience for you and everything around them—and so you call them their friend, you trust them. And only after months of telling them all your secrets do you realize…

…they've never actually told you anything about themselves.

[rubyleaf]

Adding onto this: characters who are so deeply repressed that they don't even realize they're not fine, or at the very least not supposed to be fine. Characters who do tell you about a situation they're in that should be bad, but instantly laugh it off saying they can handle it (spoiler: they can, in fact, not handle it). Characters who laugh with you and listen to all your woes and much later you learn that they were actually going through something at least equally bad at the time, but they wave it off and don't want to speak of it. Characters whose main coping mechanism seems to be "don't think about it" on endless loop.

Basically, the fictional embodiment of the "this is fine" dog.

Speakimg of FFXI titles, though, I think my favorite is when you are automatically "gifted" the title of 'Dead Body' in the second chapter of Promathia...

...and then the follow-up of it repeating with "Frozen Dead Body" in the fifth chapter lmao
