Welcome to my FFXIV blog, it's a bit of a WIP right now, but I hope you enjoy your stay! My main account is @curscival so all likes and follows come from there!
I will be tagging expansion spoilers with said expansion (i.e. #FFXIV Endwalker) but I would still be cautious about spoilers in case I miss anything.
If you are just looking for my art my tag is: #Curscival-Creates
The main OCs I'll be posting about are:
Sinkur Avankol
My main account and my personal favorite. He grew up always running away from his responsibilities; he ran away from his twin brother and his tribe on the Azim Steppe, ran away from his new life with the Confederacy, and almost ran away from being the Warrior of Light.
He's come a long way since arriving in Limsa, his tag is #oc: Sinkur Avankol, and his brother's tag is #oc: Khasar Avankol
To avoid this post getting too long more OCs are listed under the cut:
Kravitz Vanthiss
An Archon who specializes in diplomatic relationships with the (now) allied tribes. He grew up in Old Sharalayan until he ventured off to Gridania to maintain peace with the Slyphs and eventually came to help the Scions of the Seventh Dawn.
He continued to help the group as a Scion with the help of his dear friend and younger brother figure Nether. His tag is: #oc: Kravitz Vanthiss
Nether Vanu
A lalafel who was raised by the Vanu Vanu in the Sea of Clouds. He was found by Kravitz at around 17 years old and has never really left his side since.
He used to work as a crystal brave, at Kravitz's recommendation, but once that fell through he works mostly as a scion and the cat's body guard. His tag is: #oc: Nether Vanu
I also have a separate universe called Reflected Light in which the Warrior of Light dies during Heavensward and gets replaced by an altered version of himself. The story is still a large WIP but any information can be found with the tag #Reflected Light.
The ocs in this universe are:
Finnegan, the original WoL - #oc: Finnegan
Lucian, the reflected Wol - #oc: Lucian
Both Kravitz and Nether (Despite not interacting with the story much)
Hello!
It's been a while! I've just finished a big move, and while we're still unpacking and settling in, my energy and appetite for my hobbies is returning.
I hope you've all been well, and please look forward to more activity here this month!
I keep thinking about that "Final Fantasy is a Homestuck" post because I hate how true it is. Trying to describe this game makes me sound about how trying to describe Homestuck made me sound.
Yes please play this 12 year-old game. Sorry you can't play the first part of it because it was so bad they rebooted the whole thing and dropped a dragon nuke on the planet and caused planetary ecological changes. They will still reference that, sorry. Yes the entire base story is considered okish, please play for a 60 hours to get to the first expansion. It is actually worth it trust me I know it sounds wild, but it will rip your heart out several times. Some of the best writing in the entire game is in an optional job quest storyline where you pick up a greatsword and get asked by your own internal pain why you don't just go mad.
There are bunnies on the moon, the dragons are aliens, you optionally travel through time and space to catch a fish, you have a cook-off and alpaca catching competition to determine a nation's ruler, the guy who basically invented advanced gun technology keeps stealing old advanced weaponry to tinker with and no one is stopping him for some reason, Estinien is there (it makes sense in context), the catholic elves are so messed there are LEVELS to that shit (everyone should do the Scholasticate quests! :D), one of your foes won't fucking stay dead and goes to extreme lengths just to have a punching match with you, depression is a bird, one old tired man just wants a nap but also funded an entire theater company, if you do an option storyline of fights you can find a sentient plush chocobo and his world-ending superweapon bug pal just in the world map, you have an entire WWE cagematch fight series, gundam references!, there's Evangelion crossover!(soon), there's Nier crossover!, the gods of the world form Voltron, a man shackles himself to an ancient database tower to pull you to another world.
I sound like a crazy person but that's not even all of it! It's a major time sink I really don't blame people for not playing it. But if you've at all considered it give it a go, there's a free trial that keeps getting expanded so you can play 5/6 of the 10 year story that just wrapped up for free. You've probably seen the meme.
Give it a shot. This game actually literally saved my life.
And at the end they'll ask was your journey worthwhile? And henceforth you shall walk.

this is like if lord of the rings had a guidebook for how to get rid of the ring and it was like. step one pick up the ring. step two throw it into the fires of mount doom
I'm kind of mad that I dicked around and figured out how to render straight hair in a way I like on a doodle of urianger I did not plan on sharing bc I'm nervous but he looks cute... my blogs are supposed to be for archiving this stuff somewhere ... explodes
making ocs is so funny, especially when you get so attached to some and not to others?? it’s like yes these people live in my head and I love them. I love that one the most though.
