Ty's Blog featuring FFXIV

@SpotTheStriker on Twitter... Main blog: @Letiel ... Ty is a Steppe Xaela living and working in Eorzea. FFXIV spam. Team Two Braincells headcanons, posts, gposing, and nonsense

[tykaricnaynarou]

Welcome!

This is a themed blog! If you couldn’t tell from the title this will mostly be FFXIV reblog spam and this Steppe Xaela boy: 

His name is Ty’karic but, for obvious reasons, goes by Ty. It’s kind of a funny story how he got that name but that’s for another time. 

He looks serious but, let’s be honest, this guy is a pineapple, prickly and ugly on the outside but soft and sweet on the inside. He’s got the worst dragoon brain, is a workaholic, would rather fight than flee, and thinks things through only to ignore common sense by choice. This blog will be about his adventures for the most part and will frequently feature his friends from Team Two Braincells.

I honestly think one of the best moments of Endwalker that's not talked about as much, is when Hermes says his little piece in mourning to the Lykaon he was forced to unmake. Emet-Selch steps forward and says, "Join the Convocation, Hermes. You do not belong here".

It's such a raw, compassionate moment from Emet-Selch that gets so overlooked. He may not share Hermes' sentiments about the ethics of creationism, but when he sees how much it hurts Hermes to be so deeply involved in the process he can only think about how to ease his suffering.

It's been said time and time again by other people that Emet-Selch would do anything for his fellow man but I think this scene is where we see it come straight from him at it's purest. I think of all moments across Shadowbringers and Endwalker, this is my favourite moment of his.

Things that happen in Dawntrail that sound like shitposts:

You are invited to meddle in the affairs of a major political power. These events with extremely serious ramifications for global politics include gardening, animal herding, mountain climbing, and a bake-off.

Night City travels diagonally through time and fuses with a small town in Arizona.

An uplifting Hollywood movie pop-gospel song about unity plays over a montage of you and your friends building a bomb.

You down a suspiciously beaver-themed energy drink and briefly go super saiyan.

The temporally anomalous catboy dad deepthroats two scoops of nothing-flavored ice cream in an attempt to ease the tension at his work friend's family reunion. Somehow, this actually achieves the desired effect.

An AI-generated ghost attempts to burn all of the world's people and resources to extend the life of their metaverse Disneyland for other AI-generated ghosts. In response, you proceed to fight a robotic biblically-accurate angel inside their mind palace.

Dead baby cave.

wow i can't believe how deep sugar riot's song gets with lore

By the way I remain firm in my belief that the only reason Alisaie comes across as less of a Rich Kid is that she lets Alphinaud say the Stupid Rich Kid Shit first (this is not hard because he talks VERY much) and then just. Acts like she knew that was Rich Kid Shit all along. I think it took Alisaie a Long While to not be mourning the loss of her huge gorgeous perfect bed but someone made fun of Alphinaud for mentioning the "insufficent conditions for rest" early on so now she can never say a thing about it.

what's funnier, regular divorce or ffxiv divorce

ffxiv divorce. regular divorce is all closed party. you've gotta know people. but if you're really feeling like it, you can join in on a stranger's ffxiv divorce arguments

Depending on how you understand time travel working in the FFXIV universe there is a case to be made that the WoL created Hydaelyn.

There's a lot we don't know about Venat, a lot that is open to headcanon and theorizing about what exactly she's doing offscreen in critical parts of the timeline that she don't see. But if you wanted to, I think you could make the case that by telling her the future, the Warrior of Light sets Venat on her path to becoming Hydaelyn and perhaps convinces her that there is no way to prevent the future from unfolding as described--whether that's true or not, and who can really say if it is?

If you wanted to take it a step further, you could even argue that Elidibus, the heart of Zodiark, in his final act sends the Warrior of Light back in time as an act of self-preservation--to ensure that history unfolds such that Zodiark comes into existence.

Two things are true of primals as we understand them for most of the game's story:

They are created through the faith of their devotees. Their adherents create them, not the other way around.

Many display a self-preservative nature that is inherently destructive, both in drawing aether from any and all surrounding sources and in tempering their adherents to sustain their existence.

The WoL's (and subsequently Venat's) belief that Hydaelyn must come into being creates Hydaelyn, and Hydaelyn by Her blessing shapes the WoL into a person who believes She must come into being. Elidibus's belief that Zodiark must come into being creates Zodiark, and Zodiark shapes Elidibus into the person who believes that Zodiark must come into being. These things can be philosophically true whether or not either cycle involves tempering in the literal sense we know it.

I'm not necessarily saying this is true or an intended reading, but I think it's a viable and interesting interpretation to play with.

[anneapocalypse]

FFXIV has been said to have a lot of humanist themes, which I agree with, and I think a big theme Endwalker brings us full circle on is "We are beholden to the gods we make for ourselves."

[thefandomexpert]

people r saying the pranged role quests are the weakest and that’s probably true but to me they were worth absolutely everything bc the turali people are like ‘well, you’re a strong enough adventurer, maybe together we have a very slight chance of standing up to these people please help 🥺’ and then you go back to gyr abania and that one resistance person is like ‘Warrior of Light. Look at me-no no no, Look At Me. You Can Not Vaporize these petty thieves you’re going after. do you understand me. I need you at your worst grey parse. I want you to use the first button on your hotbar and NOTHING else. tell me you understand. you Can Not just fucking Vaporize these guys like you normally do.’

and I just have to believe your turali pal is like. what.

What made you decide on your Warrior of Light's current look, race, and style? Personally, I just imagined what the Warrior of Light would look like if he wasn't playing a hero but acting like a normal FFXIV player. The Namazu head from Society Quests, the Uraeus Coat from crafting, Wayfarer's Necklace from MSQ, Yokai Wrist Watch from Event, Nails from Gold Saucer along with Bunny Chief fish nets, and No. 2B Boots cause everyone else is doing it and the Aetheryte Earring from Preorder. And Moogle Weapons just cause its the only joke weapon in game that isn't like overtly annoying. Thats how Azem Blight came to be.

Auvo's an inherited character. My best friend made him to play along with me at my first attempt at the free trial...which died before I could get to the first dungeon. Controller scheme didn't agree with my, and my Internet there was *horrible*.

So she streamed the msq on Auvo for me. Let me pick all the dialogue choices, let me design his glams. Prodded me about his backstory until I started writing.

And when I tried again, and actually got into the game, and eventually bought it...she fanta'd the OG Auvo, and we each re-named our characters. I liked the lala I first designed, but I don't think I ever would have come up with Auvo on my own. And I love him.

Going through a bit of an art block so have a color study with KH2 Riku.
