Say goodbye to the gentle rain. All we know is fire now.

Welcome to @rose-from-ashes, a ffxiv multimuse roleplay blog. Please read the carrd before interacting. Likes and follows from @thekavseklabs.

This blog contains untagged spoilers for FFXIV. Go no further if you wish to avoid spoilers.

This blog is currently highly, highly selective due to low activity and irl stress. I won't necessarily block people, but it may take me a long time to feel ready to check new blogs and follow people back, please don't be insulted!

Knowledge of ffxiv is not needed to follow this blog- the basics are already explained in the carrd, and more will be added as I go. Commentary on new patches might be tagged and put under a readmore for the first couple of weeks or so, but if it's been a month, I'm sorry but your eyeballs are not safe so tread with caution.

Non-rp blogs please do not reblog my posts. You are free to send asks!

Other blogs: @thekavseklabs (oc multimuse), @pix-pulleiaceus (multifandom multimuse), @galransandextras (voltron multimuse), and @sunshine-bastard (runescape multimuse)

Commissions are open. Here are examples of my art.

If you came here because I gave this as a place to contact me ingame, please send an ask or message! I do this for a lot of sprouts (new players, if you haven't heard the term), but due to the spoilers aforementioned, I don't recommend following me!

So because my dashboard is full of pride month discourse I am going to throw my own two cents in. How reductive to assume an ancient eldritch being would have the same rigid concepts of attraction and sexual identity as a 21st-century mortal. Why has a narrative masterpiece turned into a binary battlefield of 'Emet-Selch is canonically gay' vs. 'No, he is bi'? Y’all miss the entire scope of the story.

Whether you play as a male or female presenting Warrior of Light, the outcome is identical.

He recognizes your soul.

An ancient soul which, by its very nature, transcends the boundaries of flesh and gender. Forcing a multi-millennial incorporeal entity into these boxes feels like resurrecting Aristotle’s ghost to tell me my connection isn’t valid simply because I inhabit a female vessel.

You know how I read Emet-Selch? As neurodivergent, Byronic, and queer. Neuroqueerness is a lived reality, and not everything has to fit a neat social checklist. So often I wish to be rid of this vessel of flesh because of the rigid ideals others place upon me. My mind feels genderless yet my body appears female. How easy it would be if I could just politely tell my monotropic mind to stop recognizing the deep essence of a character just to avoid breaking the rules of a fandom cage.

stop. analyse that text through the lens of its author's intentions and original historical context. okay now take the author out back and kill them dead and analyse that text as though it were published by your mutual yesterday and is in direct conversation with the contemporary discourse that's most relevant to your life. okay now pick your favorite angle of interpretation and come up with the strongest possible argument against it. now imagine that the text is your best friend and that it means you well and that you naturally give it every benefit of the doubt because you're on its side and you want the best for it. now imagine that the text wants you dead and it'll eat you if you don't eat it first. now pretend that you found this text locked away in a cave with no evidence of when or where it came from and you have to divine its meaning solely through its internal coherence and nothing else. okay now address the elephant in the room aspect of the text you've been ignoring because you find it boring or confusing or uncomfortable and become the number one expert on it. now spend forty minutes assigning all the characters dnd classes with at least three sentences of reasoning each. okay now do the cha cha slide.

“Ghosts are real” I can see how you could believe that

“Ghosts aren’t real” it’s very fair and rational that you believe that

“Ghosts aren’t real anymore” I’m about to hear a poem or very sad story

“Ghosts aren’t real yet” the fuck are you going to do

The Inspiration of Gaius van Baelsar 😌

After the Lahabrea and Gaius short story came out I wanted to draw something moody for them. Inspired by Caravaggio's The Inspiration of Saint Matthew.
