btw tiny headcanon but taryn gets crushes SO easily she’s like ?? wow girl? hot . and is a huge sappy romantic at heart but once she really develops a crush she gets super awkward and cannot look her crush in the eyes . 

also she constantly denies herself the possibility of reciprocation so most of the time she’ll just pine until there’s nothing left of it bc that feels safer and more comfortable than letting someone know who she really is (despite how she’s working hard to be more like herself these days) it’s a scary process for sure

When I first met her, I knew in a moment I would have to spend the next few days re-arranging my mind so there’d be room for her to stay.

from here on out i’m going to be writing taryn/zenni in a post - endwalker verse (for the most part! if you haven’t finished it ofc i’m flexible) , but that will be my default ! her personality will be different from that of pre - endwalker and she will be referred to as zenni to any people new to her . characters who already know her will know of her name change but she won’t be hurt if you call her taryn. :)

also this doesn’t necessarily mean our threads will have spoilers in them , all things considered. again, it mainly just means there’s gonna be a growing personality shift !

* @floralived​ .

heavy breaths beat from her chest like the bass of a victory fanfare . a sword much too great for her stature falls from her moistened palms , dropping like an avalanche to the rocky surface below . brows knit & she’s exasperated -- this training was much more rigorous than any black magic she’s ever practiced . & her weapon was heavier , sturdier , than the scythe she’d wielded briefly in the past . she hisses quietly , cursing herself , before she hears the footfalls belonging only to the unknown . head swivels , hair cast into her eyes ( she struggles for a brief moment , clearing it from her vision & taste ) & she meets gaze with someone new . it’s not the first time this has happened .

                                       ❛   heheh , sorry ‘bout that . hey .  ❜

she pretends she’s not totally exasperated . & with a quick motion to the sword on the ground , she asks , 

                                 ❛   you happen to know anything about this stuff ?  ❜

What Tarot Card Are You ?

The Hermit

It’s a skill, to look inside yourself, one you have mastered. The endless corridors and shifting thoughts are mapped to very carefully. This all takes time, of course. And those twisting hallways are so very difficult to map. It would be so easy to get lost. You know this space so well. Wouldn’t it be a lovely place to stay? So well-known and comforting. Why go back? How nice, how easy, to dissolve, to hide from the rest of the world and all the people in it. Why bother, when you are so good at looking inside yourself. Like enlightenment, the self. Retreating this far inwards is like retreating just as far out, into the vast ether. So comforting. The thing that was you looks at the thing that was the old woman. There is no you anymore. Goodbye.

@mysticartes​​      :         “ why don’t you correct them ? when people talk about you, and they’re wrong ? ” / from shionne ! ( i .. still have to work on an xiv verse for her but uh pretend it exists. )

                                                     --

when there’s so many facets to who you are , how you act , the roles you play , & even the way you see yourself , yourself , as a whole , becomes a diluted mess of memories & once - shared traits . when people talk about her , she discerns not whether they are right or wrong , but rather , if she can fake some way to live up to their expectations , however brutal . she sits in this chaos of who once was & who will live on & who’s died in the process & lets it consume her like a wave in a hurricane . 

                                                ❛   they’re never wrong .  ❜

perceptions can oft be vile , she knows , but she knows that she too bears the qualities of filth at times . ever - changing , ever - growing , ever - abandoning parts of herself & re - growing them on some new limbs of the same born tree . 

there’s some edge to the way she speaks , a her lips glistening in the light of a smirk , eyes dangerous with no intentions what - so - ever . 

                                               ❛   what they think makes me who i am .  ❜

she pauses , lying in some words of half - truth . she will never argue with the words the masses spew in light of her glory , her selflessness , her ever - crowned victory . nay , she would sheath the sword of self - forgiveness & righteousness & wear the crown of pretend .

                      ❛   well , sometimes . other times  .  .  .  i simply don’t care !  ❜

& something about the way she speaks is as crooked as the grin plastered over her face when she spins in some false - delight .

she shakes her head at the thought , hair swaying & tangling in the winds .

                        ❛   you’re right though . i’m with ya . these crowds are rough .   ❜

& she searches her chocobo’s saddle bag for any aid that might prove useful to thancred’s present predicament .
