˖ ✧ PINTEREST || RULES || VERSES ˖ ✧

[ Mobile Guidelines & Credits Under Read More! ]

This is mostly a rough summary of my official rules, which you can read more in-depth on my blog!

General rules apply! No godmodding, no forced ships, and trigger warnings will be tagged as such! I also ask that no minors interact with my blog/work -- I am an adult ( 30+ ) and will only interact with other adults. If I find out you lied about your age, you will be blocked immediately. Also, please do not use GenAI, that's just laziness and not worth my time.

This will be a low-activity blog because I am unfortunately employed, a student and an unmedicated adhd haver who is raw-dogging life. If I suddenly vanish into the aether, look to the stars and think of one of them as my soul – or whatever it is optimus prime said. 

I do practice mains, mostly for my own sanity and comfort but I am always down to create new bonds!! Because we’re here for a good time, not a long time my friends.

Shipping is something I greatly enjoy! However it won't always be a priority on this blog and I only ship based on chemistry and if it is well communicated between myself and the other mun. If you feel our characters seem to have a spark growing between them, regardless of the relationship type, let's talk about it! While I do not mind shipping with duplicates of the same character, know that they will be separate and unrelated to one another -- no ship portrayal will be the same and neither will ever be pitted against one another -- as I value all my interactions and everything else I come up with my ship partners and friends! If any discomfort arises, please speak with me! I want us all to be comfortable and have fun!

If you are homophobic, transphobic, support GenAI, Tr**p and Is**l – kys accordingly. That shit will not fly here and never will.

I am mutual only and I want to keep my following small so as not to overwhelm myself,  so if you happen to follow me first, I will go through your blog like the fbi and if I feel we would click, I'll follow back! If not, alas, perhaps in another life then my sweet.

Regarding my portrayal of WoL -- while he is meant to be a representation of the first game, which had blank slate characters, he himself has vast lore which can be found in the Dissidia games! That being said, please do not make assumptions about his character based on fandom portrayals you see online. That is the quickest way to piss me off and earn yourself a block. Also I ask that your character not attempt to give him a name/nickname, as it is canonically something he doesn't want. I refer to WoL as, "Light", "The Warrior", & "Captain" ( mostly in Duellum verse ). Please use those names when your character is referring to or speaking to WoL.

For multi-muses : while FF muses are usually the go to I am also familiar with the following fandoms! FE3H, Devil May Cry, Transformers, Kingdom Hearts, Darksiders, Assassin’s Creed, ATLA & LoK, DC Comics, Resident Evil, WHA & many more! ( just ask! I can probably whip up lore and background for each universe because I’m insane )

Regarding post length, I do tend to write novella length responses because I am again -- insane but please do not feel pressured to match length!!

This is also a drama-free zone, as much as I am a chismosa, there is a time and place!!

If you have any questions regarding anything in my rules, please let me know! <3

@feinic asked: Sternum & Ribcage

Sternum ( what makes their heart pound hardest ? )

Battle. 

Not in the way that you would think, he is not like Garland and Sephiroth – where the two of them have found a grim pleasure in combat, where destruction only feeds into their ego and finds satisfaction with playing with the lives of others they face. A sort of itch to scratch until they are able to face a worthy opponent. 

For the Warrior it’s not like that. 

Fighting is a means to an end, were it up to him, they wouldn’t have to fight at all – but battle is an inevitable, as it is the core basis of many of the worlds they seem to be finding themselves in. His heart pounds because in these battles, it is of the utmost importance to achieve victory and restore harmony. Protecting the delicate balance of the world and to ensure his comrades return to their homeworlds. 

And perhaps… There is a bit of a thrill to it, the adrenaline filling his veins as steel meets and sparks fly, the smell of iron and blood permeating the air, the battle cries and the explosions of powerful magics surrounding him. The thrill that comes with fighting alongside his comrades, whom stand equal to him in strength and fight for that same cause, protecting what is important and each other. Knowing they have his back and him theirs makes these battles worth fighting, for as long as that strength and trust is there – victory will always be within reach. 

But he will never derive pleasure from battle. There is no true joy when one makes this the basis of one’s existence, he was taught that long ago by Prishe. 

But if I had to think of another instance that would make the ever unflappable Warrior of Light’s heart beat like a drum – it would be vulnerability. 

The context would be dependent – but the reaction would be the same. 

A nervousness would take him, he would try to divert the subject to something different, anything if it meant that he didn’t have to remove his armor that he had so carefully set up. Will they reach in and grab his heart through his ribcage? Pull it straight from his chest to teach him a lesson in how weak he is for exposing such a vulnerable part of himself? 

It is best to keep the armor on, than to ever let himself be caught without that armor. Do I mean it physically? Or metaphorically?

 Who can say for certain. 

---

Ribcage ( Who/What are they trying to protect? )

Everyone.

There was something that Cecil had said in NT, when Noctis seemed to be a little confused on the Warrior's motives and strive to complete the task at hand --

" Ever had someone you didn't understand...and yet you find what is important to them, suddenly becomes important to you?"

That quote right there encapsulates the reason why the Warrior of Light is the way he is -- he is at his core, a compassionate and caring man-- despite what his initial stoicism depicts. He sees it as his duty to look out for everyone, to help others, to fight for those who cannot fight for themselves.

Even if he didn't fully understand other people's motives, as their experiences are different from his, it won't stop him from wanting to help.

In his adventure in FFI ( spoiler ahead even if the game is like freaking 30+ years old ) he and his fellow warriors of light's endeavors was largely forgotten by the whole world because of their restoration of the time loop -- but to him it mattered not, for he did not go on that journey for fame and glory. He did it because the world was in trouble, the people needed help -- because it was the right thing to do.

He will do whatever it takes to protect the dreams and futures of everyone, so long as he draws breath -- or as best said by Superman.

“--dreams lift us up and transform us into something better, and on my soul, until my dream of a world where dignity, honor, and justice are the reality we all share, I’ll never stop fighting. Ever!”

(     *     BARE BONES. a selection of headcanon questions inspired by key bones in the human body. ( Accepting )

@mutepragmatist asked: metacarpals. do they ask for help or clench their fists and bear it ?

Does he ask for help? 

That’s hard to say. 

As seen many times before, he emphasizes the importance of community and working together. He believes in the collective strength of the whole to get the task done, to win the battle, end the war. It’s different because when they’re all on the same page, he doesn’t have to ask for help in that regard because it’s what they all want. 

But does that translate into being able to easily reach out and ask for help? 

Not quite. 

He is the leader, he is the one they look to hold up the banner they can rally behind, the one they can look to when all else seems to fail, he is that pillar – that ideal of the unflappable leader who will lead them to victory. Those expectations place a bit of a weight on his shoulders, and thus does it make him believe that he must carry that weight alone. He will clench his fist to bear it for as long as he can. Not because of lack of faith nor distrust, because he feels that he must. 

Eventually, someone would come along and ease that clenched fist open, and offer their hand. 

Would he take it? 

Yes, if with just a bit of hesitance. Though it’s not an outright rejection either. 

All it takes is for someone to reach out and make him realize that he shouldn’t HAVE to carry these burdens alone and he will let these burdens be shared, because that’s what it really means to BE a leader -- depend on others to help see things through when it becomes too much for one person to take on alone.

“don’t go where i can’t follow” is literally the most romantic thing anyone has ever said. it’s like. i’ll let you bring me anywhere—far from home, far from the places and people i love, so long as you stay with me. i’ll let you walk into danger and through hell, but i will not let you go where i can’t go with you. that is where i draw the line.

❛ they're afraid of us. as well they should be. ❜

❛ we're all backed into corners. ❜

❛ is there anything else that must be discussed? for i am weary. ❜

❛ where are we going? ❜

❛ how was your day? ❜

❛ i returned home. ❜

❛ you have endured so much loss, and yet your strength has never failed you. ❜

❛ and what shall become of me? ❜

❛ there's no reason we should waste our years living apart when we feel like this. ❜

❛ i can't provide for you. ❜

❛ you seem to have a good understanding of people. ❜

❛ what alternative do i have? ❜

❛ who would be here besides us? ❜

❛ don't. you'll get us both killed. ❜

❛ we have to get back and warn everyone. ❜

❛ you have to hide. ❜

❛ we can get there first if we run. ❜

❛ what will you say if they ask for me? ❜

❛ come on now! put your back into it! ❜

❛ i am sorry for the trouble, but it can't be helped. ❜

❛ just make sure you aren't caught. ❜

❛ i thought i'd never find you. ❜

❛ you should be fine up here. ❜

❛ thanks for the help. ❜

❛ are you better today? ❜

❛ we all need our strength. ❜

❛ you have done so much since we last met. ❜

❛ you are generous beyond all expectations. ❜

❛ we cannot linger on pleasantries. ❜

❛ the worst thing a king can do is look foolish. ❜

❛ what makes you sure you can do this? ❜

❛ close your mouth — it's unbecoming. ❜

❛ such joy you have given me. ❜

❛ there will be drinking tonight, i wager! ❜

❛ you cannot sleep now. ❜

❛ now is the time to fulfill your promise. ❜

❛ we are about to change history. ❜

❛ we're throwing ourselves off a cliff without knowing how deep the water below is. ❜

❛ i give my life to you and our cause. ❜

❛ now is the time to prepare. ❜

❛ it is our turn to strike back. ❜

❛ there will never again be such an opportunity. ❜

❛ you have earned some powerful enemies today. ❜

❛ how did you learn magic? ❜

❛ that was a heroic deed. ❜

❛ you should be proud of your accomplishment. ❜

❛ whatever my fate may be, i don't aspire to rule. ❜

❛ what is a king, after all, but a man imprisoned by his duties? ❜

❛ it was nearly impossible to get the door open. ❜

❛ you had no reason to interfere! ❜

❛ you needed my help. ❜

❛ if i'd needed your help i would have called. ❜

❛ don't yell at me. ❜

❛ why couldn't you leave me alone? where was the harm? ❜

❛ i am yours to command. ❜

❛ guard it with your life; it would cause a great deal of harm in the wrong hands. ❜

❛ now is the time to gamble and dare what no one thinks we can accomplish. ❜

❛ you needn't fear, i am well defended. ❜

❛ i like to be where things are happening. ❜

❛ you're braver than i, staying here. ❜

❛ perhaps you should consider turning yourself in. ❜

❛ i don't want anyone to be hurt on my behalf. ❜

❛ it's a nasty situation all around. ❜

❛ something should be done. ❜

❛ am i somehow responsible for this? ❜

❛ you would do that for me? ❜

❛ it's this or run for it. ❜

❛ everyone's life is at stake. ❜

❛ a man can only endure so much abuse before he must strike back. ❜

❛ first we fortify, then we fight. ❜

❛ use it wisely. ❜

❛ we want to scare, not kill. break a few bones if you want, but don't get carried away. ❜

❛ that's the best brawl i've had in years. ❜

❛ who gave you the authority to make this decision? you've doomed us all! ❜

❛ live in the present, remember the past, and fear not the future, for it doesn't exist and never shall. there is only now. ❜

❛ wise? no, i simply learned to think. ❜

❛ those whom we love are often the most alien to us. ❜

❛ life is both pain and pleasure. if this is the price you must pay for the hours you enjoy, is it too much? ❜

❛ shall we dance? ❜

❛ you cannot miss what you never had. ❜

❛ how terrible to die alone, separate even from the one who is closest to you. ❜

❛ it is better to be taught to think critically than to be told on what to believe. ❜

❛ a good compromise leaves everyone angry. ❜

❛ the goal matters not, only the journey to it. ❜

❛ magic is the art of thinking, not strength or language. ❜

❛ a negative outlook is more of a handicap than any physical injury. ❜

❛ whatever you make, base it upon that which is most important to you. only then will it have depth and meaning, and only then will it resonate with others. ❜

❛ we only give credence to that which we can prove exists. ❜

❛ too many problems in this world are caused by men with noble dispositions and clouded minds. ❜

❛ avoid roasted cabbage, don't eat earwax, and look on the bright side of life! ❜

❛ understanding begets empathy and compassion even for the meanest beggar. ❜

❛ things that change and are lost, that is what's worth preserving. ❜

❛ he who stands like a pillar dies in battle. he who bends like a reed is triumphant. ❜

❛ fate has a cruel sense of humour. ❜

❛ power without moral direction is the most dangerous force in the world. ❜

❛ understanding breeds empathy. ❜

❛ the only certainty is that, eventually, all things shall pass. ❜

❛ ignorance, fear, hate: these are our enemies. deny them with all your might. ❜

❛ no one thinks of himself as a villain, and few make decisions they think are wrong. ❜

❛ life is both pain and pleasure. ❜

❛ determination is as common among men who are dull and foolish as it is among those who are brilliant intellects. ❜

❛ can someone truly be good if they never have the opportunity to act badly? ❜

❛ i won't tell you what to believe. ❜

❛ i have a new name for pain. the obliterator. because when you're in pain, nothing else can exist. not thought. not emotion. only the drive to escape the pain. ❜

❛ i will never let go of you. ❜
