tipping my hat to all the lorebenders and au enjoyers and canon deniers. HELL YEAH to your Haurchefant Lives au, to your Zenos that joins the Scions, to your rarepairs and enemies-to-lovers and crackships, to your wol!raha (you read that right, G'raha Tia that becomes the wol), to your evil Azem and atrocious Venat, to your wols that are too weak or otherwise unfit (or even dead already), to your wols that use mountains and galaxies as casual ammo, to your cosmic entity that fills the role of the wol but has nothing to do with the canon depiction of wol, to your garlean ocs, to your Aymeric that finally goes on an adventure, to your ocs from the reflections that canon never speaks of, to your grown-up twins, to the dragonfuckers, to the ascian kissers, to the people who have the balls and the whimsy to rewrite the entire msq from scratch. shoutout to creativity that sees canon as more of a guideline.

I don’t think some of you are terrorizing Emet about Azem nearly enough. I want him hallucinating, losing his shit, needing to catch his breath after interacting with WoL because what the fuck. I want him actually entering psychosis and simultaneously projecting all the good and bad things about Azem onto WoL and have him carefully watch and pick apart how they act whenever he references the world unsundered.

lord & lady de borel on promenade following the announcement of their engagement.

"However, it is said that the true test of the perfect waltz is for it to be so swift so delicate and so smooth that the candle flame will not be extinguished in the hand of the lead dancer. Now, that requires the perfect partner… Would you be mine?" "I don't think so, I'm sure Eugénie will be delighted." "I dare say I have asked you."

i know it's tempting to want to dress your WOL in normal people clothes because they're easier to draw-- neither of my characters have glams that are like, actual armor-- but some of the fashion mods i see people make for this game really are the most swagless items of clothing ever conceived, and are made only more so when placed in the fucking final fantasy world you're taking dutch angle selfies in

[waterloggedsoliloquy]

ppl rly look at ffxiv and think to themselves "i know im playing a fantasy game but i REALLY want to play a white woman who goes jogging but only on campus and never looks up from her phone the whole time. t shirt and jeggings it is!"

in my wols ""canon"" haurchefant lives (albeit sans his shield arm and some more-or-less-important abdominal tissue) and is the first person to be summoned into the first. haurchefant ends up working as a crystarium guard (and eventually lynas 2nd-in-command) and he and the exarch become very Closely Acquainted in the decade that haurchefant spends there before the wol's arrival :3c

I love you black mage, I love how your buttons change For No Reason roughly every ten levels. Use fire 3 until you don't. Now we transpose. Now we don't. Ah, but go back to transpose now. This spell has cast times. Not anymore. You know how you don't let procs overwrite on other classes? It's fine here. Unless? No we won't communicate chunks of this to you in any meaningful way, good luck sweetie <3

if a little voice in your head says ‘what if i rewrote the whole story of ffxiv but for my specific wol’s journey’ do not listen. that is the devil talking

aymeric: For had you not vanquished King Thordan, or had I erred in but one of my choices... I may well have been the first to succumb to despair. To be reborn a blasphemy.

wol, really intense all of a sudden: You wouldn't have turned. Not you.
