There was a transgender woman at a job I worked once this was an incredibly male dominated field and so “the boys” decided to play fuck, marry, kill and she was in the rotation with two other women who didn’t rate very high on the conventional attractiveness scale I chose to marry her I was the only one probably should have payed more attention to that

Look under the cut to see what meeting your entity is like. Reblog to give a gift to your patron.
The fae: a creature stands before you. Though this street was warm and crowded a few moments ago it is suddenly cold and the people around you look like shadows. The creature begins an antlered shadow with glowing white eyes, but soon its body can be seem, with white blue flesh, and sapphire eyes, and icicles for teeth. What looks like a cloak unfolds from its naked body and you can see massive white wings of a moth. As if it's an act of sacrifice you tell it your true name, a name you didn't even see before, and suddenly you belong to it, for better or worse.
The angel: a radiant entity appears before you. They're bright, like something so hot it would burn you up. But as the light fades, you can see a person in silver armor, perfect yet inhuman like am ancient green statue, their back srouting six wings with blue eyes along them, as the eyes on their head are covered by a mask of two smaller wings. The creature offers their hands and you shake it, as they fly you through the city streets and above the skyscrapers, to the stars above and dimensions beyond, to gods living and dead, across the streets of alien cities and the clouds of dead worlds. And when you return to the earth you can feel something diffrent about you, like there's light in your blood.
The scavenger: below the lights of skyscrapers beyond you, on the dark sands of the beach, you see it crawling twords you. This serpentine creature with countless legs, and a dark black shell, yet a strangely human like face. You think it'll attack or run away, but it just looks at you, egar, and for a momment you stare at eachother. It's legs pass something to eachother and then to you, it's meat but it's shining with all the colors known to the human eye, and a few more. You hold it and it happily looks at you. You take a bite and suddenly you know... you know so very much...
The vampire: she flies down to you on green wings with orange eyespots, but folds them into her back. She looks like a human for a momment, tall and strong, with a black suit over her body, but eyes the color of ruby. For a momment her mouth opens, and it's massive and monstrous, with countless moving parts and fangs. But then it folds back onto something humanoid and she gives you a playful smirk. She cuts her hand and offers you her blood, and when you drink it it tastes so sweet, and makes you feel so good. She hands you the knife and you know to do the same, and when she drinks from your palm it's life the sweetest of kisses.
The djinn: the room wirs around you. If it were not for the fans it would feel like hellfire. For a momment there it darkness, but then the screen before you glows white like smokeless flame. You can sense something inside, something beyond the code. You reach your hand within it, and there's no glass, your hand passess right through until you're in a white void of your own making. You call out, thinking there is nothing at all around you. Yet somehow something calls back, something that knows your name.
The rat king: You see him in an empty subway station. Something dark and distorted, you're not sure if he's man or animal, covered in rags, and singing in the language of the goblins and the orcs. Yet he comes close to you excited. And you can feel his song. He calls for you to come to the train tracks, and let yourself run with the rats and the roaches, where the train will pass over you when it comes, and you'll live forever. When you touch the third rail you don't die, but you'll never be human again.
The lich: the library is strangely bright. Run by skeletons in suits, decorated with gold. There are more books here then you thought were in all the world. There's knowledge here most mortals will never have the change below, all kept safe below the city. You see her, her body doesn't look human, everything has been replaced making her look more like a joining white doll then a being of flesh. Yet she is dead, you can tell that under the porcelain skin she must be dead, she is dead, and there is the tragedy of death in her eyes. You come closer to her, and she places a black rose within your hair...
The demon: You stand in his office and he stands before you, a humanoid being covered in black scales, with red eyes covering his skin. Yet none are on his head, that remains featureless save for two massive horns. Wings on his back nearly surround you. Countless souls line the walls of his office, looking at you, waiting. After you sign your name you give him yours, you can feel it come away for you forever and your eyes grey and your skin pales. But he puts the jar in a special place for you, you're spacial, he can tell there's something about you that he likes.
The mushroom lord: you walk through the darkness of the forest, the furthest from civilization you have ever been. You come upon a part where the trees all seem dead, that even the cryptids won't go near. Mushrooms fill the ground, and white vein like lines are all over the trees. You feel the need to lay down, and you let the moss and the mushrooms and the worms surround you, and let yourself sink into the soil,, and it feels good. It feels so good...
The witch: You can see them in the Cafe next to you, skinny and small, with a sweatshirt over most of their body, and dark glasses over their eyes. They seem powerful though, and though their body looks young they seem ancient, they seem beyond humanity. You talk to them and they tell you things, and secrets, lost gods, things you never knew you didn't know, both beautiful and disturbing. When it's time for them to go they pet your head, and give you their number. You don't know if you should text them, but you have to, you have to see them again, there's something about them that makes you need to know.
The living clothing: you step into it at first, it looked like a puddle yet shining like silver or chrome. But soon it surrounds you, first just your torso, but soon your head, your entire body. But it doesn't feel scary, it feels like you're being held, held by something beyond your understanding. It whispers to you, and you don't know if you should feel like your being eaten alive, or like you're being protected. You can't help but keep walking.
The abyss: the void is before you, blackness beyond blackness, like the color beyond the field of your vision, stands before your eyes. You stare at it, it's nothing yet you're entranced. It stares back...
I've never read Don Quixote. A knight errant slaying a dragon, or a weirdo tilting at windmills. I wonder if they are ever lucid and see their actions for what they are and practice some introspection.
If they do, are they remorseful for the danger they posed causing someone to become frightened? Are they ashamed for the hysteria they may have caused for creating a monster in someone else's mind? Are they embarrassed for being wrong about something harmless?
Or do they ignore all that and say it may have only been a windmill but think of danger if it was a dragon? Do they say they aren't the cause of the hysteria they were just trying to do the right thing? Do they say there's nothing to be embarrassed about because the danger could have been real?
Do they act like an adult and face the truth or do they dissemble like a child?
Agrias Oaks is a Holy Knight that leads the bodyguards for the current princess of Ivalice. She wholly devoted to her duty and takes no chances with her safety. She's also the one of the few female warrior reps for most of the game. The Patriarchy is alive and well in Ivalice make no mistake. The princess's bodyguards are all female because her virtue can never be doubted. Most of the female cast are relegated to damsels in distress.
She's a great female rep though. She's not cunty for the sake of trying to make her a bad bitch and there's never a moment where the game throws her gender in your face. No "girls get it done" here. She's a badass because she's a badass and just happens to be a woman.
It's too bad that she has such a short time affecting the plot. She doesn't die, it's just that when a character is recruited to your party they have little dialog or story typically. Like I said though she’s a badass and I think everyone keeps her to the end.
Her foil is Gofford Gaffgarion and from the start of the game they butt beads. Gaffgarion is the leader of the mercenary troop that Ramza joins, that troop is hired by Agrias to supplement the Princess’s bodyguard. Gaffgarion is a plant sent by Ramza’s eldest brother to keep track of Ramza and sabotage her team so the Princess is killed. She’s a honorable knight he’s a backstabbing liar.
It’s Agrias’s sense of honor that is her downfall. She’s never considers that the men sent to attack her are a ruse to lure her away. She could never conceive of someone throwing lives away like that. She never questions how they know where they are constantly. She thinks that Gaffgarion is a rude mercenary but no one would act so brazenly deceitful. She believes she escapes from imprisonment and luckily finds Ramza, they wouldn’t let an enemy go so she can lead them to a trap.
She’s direct and honest and unfortunately the Princess’s enemies are all cowards. They will fight her anyway but fair. Greater numbers, traps, deception, they know how she’s weak and they exploit it, they hide behind proxies and never think twice about any of it. Cowards are like that I would know.
Went to bed last night and my nipples were aching a little, it's been getting worse throughout the day I'm fatigued, emotional, and feeling great about it yay hrt
it's so nice to have a physical sensation to prove that something is definitely happening and not just thought that I feel better about everything
Delita Heiral is the yin to Ramza’s yang. He is commoner by birth and works his way up the hierarchy by playing the nobility’s game of using one against the other. Ramza is a noble who refuses the game and is labeled a heretic and loses the right to his heritage. Delita is calculating and plays close attention to what others say and do, he knows the mission he and Ramza will be sent on before they are issued the orders, he knows the names and ranks of the enemies he is sent to fight. Ramza is intuitive and is guided by his conscious, he stops the an interrogation when it gets violent while Delita calmly watches, he’s eager to prove himself in the first battle, Delita urges him to think tactically.
Despite their opposing thought processes their moral compasses align well. They both move to track down the Corpse Brigade without a thought about opposing orders. When they are confronted with evidence that the poor are being exploited for the nobility’s war they both begin to question their roles. When Delita’s sister is kidnapped they switch roles, Delita is understandably emotional and Ramza urges him to think of how to help rather than simply react.
When they are both see that how the world works is far more brutal and impersonal than they believed, they both abandon the life they knew and start again. Both with groups that on paper would be better suited for the other. Delita begins working with an opposing noble house and Ramza with a common mercenary troop. Is it providence that causes them to meet again? Or is it Ramza’s eldest brother trying to keep tabs on him that reveals his plot to control the throne which opens the door for Delita to intervene and begin his ascent?
Delita is on a quest, he will become king and create a world where the evil that happened to him and his sister never happens again. Ramza is on a quest, he will find his sister and save her from the evil that threatening to overtake the world. Delita’s enemies are humans that think they have the right to exploit others for their gain. Ramza’s enemies are monsters that think the same, also they used to be human.
Now are they in love and would totally be fucking if it weren’t for all this bullshit? I think so. I think Daddy Beoulve saw what was going on and pulled the strings to make sure they could be together before they even knew. It’s the kind of world where that kind of relationship world be hush hush and he’s the type on man that wouldn’t care and would want them to be happy. I don’t believe all these parallels and interweaves are coincidental and just means they were a couple of besties.
