yannow not to be a gridania defender or anything but it rubs me the wrong way when people are like "gridania is the only one of the arr city-states which never solved its very obvious social and organizational problems and thus it's the Evil Racist One that it's fine to hate" because like. you understand that that is fully a result of the plot giving literally nothing to gridania ever, right? you understand that gridania's internal politics are never ever given the attention that ul'dah and limsa get? you understand that huge portions of post-arr and post-heavensward and post-stormblood and post-shadowbringers are dedicated to limsa and ul'dah's social issues and npcs and their relationships to each other? you understand how kan-e-senna's second-in-command, who is literally gridania's equivalent of raubahn, does not have a fucking name?

you understand how the two scions you're introduced to in the gridania start are important for at most two expansions, one of which they barely appear in, before disappearing from the story forever aside from cameos? as opposed to the scions you meet in limsa and ul'dah, who remain important for the rest of the game up til today???

yeah, i would fucking love for the main story to start questioning gridania about its institutional racism and trying to fix it, because that would mean that the main story gave a single fuck about gridania. give us some duskwight and seeker main characters please. give us duskwight and seeker lore please. give us SOMETHING. you can't even learn how gridania's government works without reading side stories, which has led to this weird misconception that kan-e-senna is like, a fascist despot who used the calamity to consolidate power!!! Give Gridania ANYTHING!!!!!

A little bit of an experimental piece! This took me nearly 3 months to finish lmao

Honestly, I initially tried doing this the grey scale way, but guys, I do NOTTTT like this method at all, like, while I think it looks pretty and it did help me get some definition, the "colouring over the greyscale with multiply" aspect of it was deadass the reason it took me so long to finish, it was suchhh a pain in the ass and while I like the result of the piece overall, I am VERY LIKELY not to do this method again OTL

THAT BEING SAID I am again, super happy with the outcome of the piece however experimental it is >:D AND it's sort of a reference to these old artworks of mine (yes! I've been on a trip redrawing old Marluxia/Lauriam art of mine with this and the last piece!)
