okay so wait

has prompto always known about being an MT or did he only find out in the DLC because like.... his lines in the original game seem to suggest he knew (”Not exactly something I could tell people, growing up in Lucis”) plus the fact that he’s obviously always had the barcode and has always hidden it, but he was taken by the Lucians as an infant and seems to react to discovering the MT Production Facility and all the breadcrumbs as if he doesn’t know at all, so??

Locus from FFXIV.

I ‘unno. I just really dig this song. Dunno what it is about it. Think the composer took a little bit of a risk with this song, since it sort of ventures out of the normal stuff for XIV, but.. I like it. :D

Also, video of the first boss of the Alexander Raid, so.. Spoilers, sure? No videos of just the music alone, yet.

Ok 1 last thought then I must go to bed Hexiciah being around in the 1600s to help Elissabat, then living in 1814 to teach at MH, then living another almost 100 years before he built Robecca (she's just over 100 and the school had its 200th remember) just isn't sitting right Yes I know he was going steampunk cyborg, but that only really explains the 1800-1900, not the 1600s So I'm hoping he's a time traveler; he had the machine that they used in FF after all. H.G.Wells did write about a time machine after all. And it would help explain why he "disappeared" too; he's just in a different time and never went back to the time he came from. Also explains how he could be in the 1600s and survive a century 200 years later without any change.... Wait maybe after he built Robecca, he met Dracula for the first time for him but not the Count, do he realized he had to go back in time to help the vampires...because maybe he wrote himself a letter cause he actually died before he was officially born...and he couldn't go back to the 18/1900s because his time disc wasn't built yet (whereas going from 1814 to 2014 worked because there was a disk in both times) But that means Becca would never see her dad again :(

I have decided that I wanna name the Frankie-look-a-like from Skull Shores "Eliza" because;

Elizabeth was the name of Victor Frankenstein's wife in the novel, and I like the idea that she's Frankie's "grandmother" as well as body donor (since that *could* be Sparky in the movie clip)

E comes before F in the alphabet

I am liking the idea that she is Dr Boolittle's biological daughter, so her ability to "calm" Andy could be connected to the ability to talk to animals (thus Frankie being able to deal with different monsters so easily/play peacemaker is inherited from that); this counts because Eliza Thornberry could also talk to animals ^^;

I've also decided that I want Victorian Era shenanigans. I want to see Hexiciah take Sparky to Europe for the summer, since the boy's an orphan and sorta his apprentice. They can meet Hexiciah's friend Dr John Boolittle (pre-death) in England, where they also meet her daughter Eliza. Hexiciah could leave sparky in Boolittle's care for a few weeks while he goes to see Dracula (because they apparently have some sort of friendship/knowledge of one another according to Elissabat), during which time Eliza and Sparky attend some lavish parties put on by Dorian Grey who tries to steal Eliza's affections, but Sparky wins her over in the end. They could touch base on the prejudices towards monsters at the time; see a Victorian era VanHellscream *coughvanHelsingcough* hunting for monsters, and crashing said party maybe. See more about Vampire culture, and maybe some Werewolf culture too; see the start of that blood feud. 

I wanna see Dr Moreau (does he have a first name? if not I wanna call him James for some reason...) get kicked out of the science medical department at Cambridge for his experiments, then him and Hexiciah in constant debates over the future of progress being "nature vs machine" and John just being exasperated at playing peace keeper between them. Moreau convincing them all to go to Skull Shores to investigate a "strange creature" that was sighted there. Seeing what happened at Skull Shores. Also maybe even meet the original Dr Jekyll; did he work with Moreau trying to solve the mystery of where man begins and beast ends? Were his/their work sabotaged by VanHellscream and/or any monster purists who did not want to see this research bring monsters and humans together? Let's also see a young Bloodgood for good measure too.

I wanna see Moreau slowly turn himself into some sort of man-animal (even though I *know* that didn't happen in his story, but how else will you explain his longevity?) so he can stay with Boolittle after he dies (maybe a ship wreck from Skull Shores? that's why they never went back  for Andy? and he doesn't remember his entire life so he never wondered what happened to Eliza?) and becomes a phantom; see them slowly and steadily develop a relationship that goes beyond "I communicate with animals like they were people" "Well I turn animals into people" (really they are so opposite in career goals, how are they working together to begin with?). I wanna see Hexiciah take Sparky and Eliza into his care for a year or two until he realizes that they don't really need him, so that's when he leaves/goes off and creates Robecca because now he's truly seen what it's like to be a parent. See Sparky and Eliza travel the world themselves until Eliza falls ill maybe and that's how she dies so he preserves her because he knows she'll be used to make Frankie some day. Have him tell Frank stories about how amazing Eliza was, calling her his "mother".

So what I'm saying is that I want to see Hexiciah's adventures in Victorian England/Europe with a bunch of scientists and teenagers, more monster social structures developed and expanded upon, and I want Jane to technically be Frankie's great-aunt I guess...if that makes any sense...

you know, i started looking up authors/original stories to see if i could get a clever name for the Frankie-look-alike, and now i've started compiling a timeline trying to figure out how the Steam/Stein/Boolittle-Moreau families and Andy could all be connected

i need to go to bed i think
