Hello! This is a sideblog for FFXIV stuff that I can't reblog on main bc I don't want to spoil some of my mutuals, and also for archival purposes.

Likes come from my main/art blog @spacepranker !

Falulu hopes you enjoy your stay !

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.

okay so the thing is with drk quests cause idk who vanitas is but probably is that you find this soulstone of the Dark Knight (DRK) from the corpse of a dead body and it makes you pass out and when you wake up the corpse that was there is alive and talking to you and his name is fray and he guides you on the path to becoming a dark knight but throughout the entire thing he says odd stuff about how "WE will do x" and you get these visions when meditating with him and eventually at the lv50 quest youre being accused of heresy by a knight and go to the observatorium to speak w a priest abt it and when you show up fray is already there and killed a bunch of knights on the ground and turns around and is like "you dont understand you dont understand youre killing us both we cant go on like this we cant keep doing this we carry so much on our shoulders because of you because you cant say no and its not your fault but it is and we have to getr away you need to come with me and if you dont ill still be with you because i am you im the part of you you dont like to think about you dont like to think about the desire for blood weve carried since we were a child and the anger you feel at being used and betrayed every step of the way and i know this im the only one who could ever understand you because i am you. pklease come with me". and then you say no and you fight and after defeating him you do the weird meditation soul thingy (which is basically just going to the innerworld/headspace) and hes like "its fine that you dont want me i get it i get it this is how it has to be but when youre too tired to keep on fighting just call out for me and ill always be there i promise i am always right by your side" and then his physical body fades into mist and absorbs into your soul and you just. live with that now. with the knowledge that youve met the "darkest" part of you and now everybody knows it because he was RIGHT THERE and you cant go back and you hurt him and he hurt you but sometimes you feel your name on your lips and want to see him just one more time. and its fucked forever
