ย ย ย ย #๐๐๐๐๐๐๐ ย is an independent, private, highly selective, and largely unaffiliated roleplay blog for an original แดกแดสสษชแดส แดา สษชษขสแด ( ๐๐๐๐๐๐ ๐๐๐๐๐ ) and her แดษดแดษชแดษดแด แดแดแดษดแดแดสแดแดสแด ( ๐๐๐๐ / ๐๐๐๐ ) from Square Enixโs MMORPG ๐ ๐๐๐๐ ๐ ๐๐๐๐๐๐ ๐๐๐ : ๐ ๐๐๐๐๐ ๐๐๐๐๐๐.
๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐ : ย Non-roleplay blogs are blocked on sight. Will not follow first. Will not follow anyone under the age of 21. Will not follow blogs that do not have age (or age range) and an alias that is easy to find. Will not follow if you do not rules readily available at the time of following. Will not follow if you do not have a coherent tagging system. Will not follow hub blogs (sideblogs ok!). Extremely anti-AI.
๐๐๐๐๐๐๐ ๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐ : ย ย ย Common, occasionally untagged * triggers you will see on this blog, either in the form of visuals or in writing, are : war, body horror, depression, suicidal ideation, depersonalization, and PTSD. Additionally, the Final Fantasy franchise itself has always been known to be deeply political and XIV in particular addresses themes of religion and blasphemy, oppression of all kinds of flavors, including (but not limited to) imperialism, fascism, colonialism, racism and xenophobia, and more, and these topics may also be mentioned in character and in headcanons on this blog. Additionally, my muse is an adult in the majority of her verses and as such there may be sexual content found on this blog. There will be no NSFW written in verses where she is a minor.
I try to navigate these topics sensitively and encourage anyone to come to me if I overstep, however views and opinions expressed in character on this blog should not be confused with or equated to my own views and opinions.
Please proceed with caution.
* Visual triggers are always tagged, but written triggers may not be.
Multi-WoL friendly! I have a non-Azem verse ready for co-WoL interactions. I will restrict this verse to friends-only if I feel it is being abused. This is a collaborative verse, not a my-muse-propping-your-muse-up verse.
โณ I default to a single WoL verse in which other WoL/OC muses are either Scions or fellow travelers. If you'd like to interact within this co-WoL verse, you must say so.
โณ My co-WoL verse can be found here.
โณ REGARDING SPOILERS : I keep up with MSQ, so you can generally expect that I will have played and completed it within a day of release (in the case of patches) or within 3-4 days (in the case of expac releases). I use a catch-all expansion spoiler tag, I do not tag specific patches for spoilers. I only tag the current expansion. For reference, you may blacklist #dawntrail spoilers * and know that all future expansions will adhere to the same tagging format. I adhere to two week spoiler bans for patches and one month spoiler bans for expansions; all spoilers will be placed under a readmore during these times. After the spoiler ban passes, I will remove the readmores and no longer be putting spoilers under a cut, but they will remain tagged.
๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐ : ย New verses are always being developed and I am more than happy to make a new one to better interact with mutuals. General disclaimer that I neither support nor condone the views or practices of the creators or those involved in an official capacity with any crossover media I interact with. This is my sandbox now.

fun fact about arr koharu: it was mentioned in stb msq (i think?? i remember it being mentioned) that the far east doesn't have a primal issue--primal summonings just don't happen--so koharu didn't actually know the full extent of the danger (ie the risk of tempering) she was in when she was captured alongside the immortal flames and was terrified and extremely confused when the flames were tempered and she wasn't. because of hydaelyn's traveler's ward, she was protected from a thing she didn't even know was a threat and thus has never actually had a fear of it.
rage against the waking dawn / take the seconds of this life and pull them through your palms / watch the day break through the night / watch it die as we bend and break through time, lover, you and i. / oh, my love, my heart, don't cry. we were born to die. but for this moment, for all time, i will fight for you.

In years gone by, Domans would honor the souls of departed kin by sending floating lanterns into the sky. This is known as โ ๐๐๐๐๐-๐๐๐๐๐ โ. That was until the Garleans took over. Religious rites were strictly forbidden, particularly those that could be performed within the safety of one's own home.
thinking about her first major death in the praetorium and how it spooks her. i think it's definitely a contributing factor to her going back to samurai from geomancer (which is what she was through all of her time in eorzea up to that point) because "maybe i wouldn't have died if i'd been fighting properly." ie. with the right weapon that she knows how to use at a higher skill level.
i'm thinking maybe she even tests out the idea of it by doing the crystal tower as a samurai ๐ค for her timeline, i had her do the entirety of the ct raids and coils post-2.0, but she doesn't fully commit to going back to samurai until well into arr patch. the domans' arrival sets her back a lot, and it is haurchefant('s influence) that eventually encourages her to pick it back up. that's something i do want to keep, because i don't want to downplay his importance to her, but i like the idea of her going through one of the raids as a samurai to kind of test the waters and see how she feels about it before that setback. having it be crystal tower also lets g'raha see her fully in her element, which i think would go a long way towards establishing that hero image the exarch has of the wol later on!
(thinking about her "i should have stayed dead" thoughts when the doman refugees arrive, bringing news of doma's failed rebellion with them.)
thinking about her second major death, at zenos's hand, and how rather than spooking her, it's more of a startle. i think before that, she likely considered coming back from the praetorium to be a one-time thing. i think... maybe when she initially received the blessing of light, hydaelyn said something Cryptic, as she does, that perhaps suggested that even if she were to die, the blessing would bring her back, but maybe she didn't take it quite as literally as she should have. it happening a second time really drives it home, though, and i think it's a biiiiiig contributor to her being as reckless as she is. no point in being careful when you can't really die, right? the pain keeps her feeling somewhat human, at least.
but then we get into shb where the threat is less about dying and more about being altered. the blessing can bring her back, sure, but the blessing (especially one given by a light-aspected deity) can't protect against something fundamentally altering her aetheric balance, particularly when that alteration is light-aspected in and of itself. (ie. slowly becoming a lightwarden)
i think the idea of that is genuinely more frightening to her than death at that point, and i think it comes at a "good" time for her, because at that point, for her, (her own) death is kind of meaningless. it's lost its gravity. but changing irrevocably? that's terrifying. for better or worse, i think it spooks her into being a little more careful, if only because she's not sure what will happen if she does die with that much light in her-- especially after seeing what happened to tesleen.
thinking about her third major death, which was... technically also at zenos's hand, but that fight also immediately followed the endsinger fight. thinking about how hydaelyn is gone at that point, how her blessing has gone with her, and how koharu thinks finally, finally, maybe this is it. this is the one. and how she's denied even that, because of the fervent prayers of the scions and the people of etheirys affecting the dynamis of ultima thule to bring her back one more time. you don't get to die here. you have to live. you must find some happiness. you have no choice.
and in her actual canon, she does, because msq for her ends at 6.0.
everything from 6.1+ onwards (and it is canon divergent, because she does get a bit of a retirement era from 6.1 all the way through to the middle of 7.0) is heading towards her bad end/koharu becomes azem for real au (otherwise known as canon compliant, or, the au in which msq keeps going after the hydaelyn and zodiark arc ends).
and i do want to make note of major deaths as opposed to minor deaths, because i think after she figures out she can't die for real, it happens a few more less noteworthy times. i like the idea of her getting better at facing zenos but him continuing to best her and being fascinated by her Not Staying Dead during stb, and having a few less noteworthy ones in enw. i think fandaniel deserves to kill her once, as a treat. for science. literally. zenos just casually mentioning it and fandaniel going to test it out for himself for funsies because he's a freak scientist at heart. i also think it would add another layer of fear to in from the cold for her because what happens if she dies and she's not in her body?
people will say โtheyโre only friendsโ and then show me two people who would crawl through broken glass to hear the other laugh once. two people who have memorized each otherโs coffee orders, fears, childhood stories, and emergency contacts. two people who would haunt each otherโs houses as ghosts. be serious.
Just an FYIโthe original intention of this post was to challenge the way people say only friends, as though friendship is somehow lesser than other forms of love. As if being deeply known, cherished, and chosen by another person could ever be a small thing. Normalize profound platonic love. Some of the most fulfilling, transformative, and enduring relationships we will ever have are friendships. ๐ซถ๐ผ
i don't keep a public dni, but since this particular topic is making its rounds, i'd like to echo the sentiment that i do not want miles anywhere near me, so if you are someone who associates with him despite knowing the harm that he has repeatedly caused to adults and children alike, kindly see yourself out.
if you're not familiar with miles (poswiecenia / reapcrbunny / soulseekcr), this is a collection of docs spanning 7+ years.

ย ย ย ย ย #๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐ ย is an independent, selective, mutuals-only, series-based roleplay blog for Marinette Dupain-Cheng, aka ๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐ / ๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐ of Zagtoonโs ๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐ ๐๐๐๐๐๐๐ franchise, as charmed by ๐๐๐๐ ! ยฉ
i don't think koharu actually knows how to rest. she's a very physical person!! even during her "retirement" era, you'd rarely find her sitting still for too long.
she's out in her garden, she's training on her own, she's teaching/training doma's soldiers, she's helping rebuild monzen or doma castle, she's helping cart materials around the enclave and the city, she's--
even when she was young, she was the type to be always on the move, but i think once she gets older, it's also a case of If I Stop, The Demons Will Get Me
i think it's possible for her to sit still a while. she often has a quiet moment to herself for a couple hours first thing in the morning before dawn. she'll make herself some tea and sit and watch the sun come up, but once day breaks, she's on the move until sundown.
but without external influence, i don't think she often lets herself sit still longer than that.
