wonders of eos

Souvenirs and memories of my own journeying through the lovely and wonderful world of Eos. It's a place to keep alive and to remember all the little things which made the ffxv verse so special to me and to positively spread my love of it with all of you who share the very same passion. ♡ No fixed schedule. Posting a few photos a week.

Hey I want to know what makes the chocobros so special in your eyes? I would love to hear more of your thoughts! Loving your blow btw

First of all, I’m so sorry, this ask has been sitting in my askbox for ages, I didn’t really feel comfortable sharing much more than the photos before so I didn’t know how to answer you properly. I’ve been thinking about this a lot though and I sure hope my very delayed answer will at least make a bit of sense. Also, thank you! ♥

There are so many things to say about the guys that makes them so wonderful and endearing in their very own amazing ways, but I will get to what I feel makes them so special to me using a weird metaphor.

For me the bros have always been like some sort of house, you know?

First, you have Noctis. Noctis is the foundations of that house, he is the center of it all whether he wants it or not. The house building depends on him and his willingness to bear what he has to bear; wouldn’t it be for him, there would be no house in the first place. He is stronger than he lets on, but he doesn’t see it because it’s required of him to shoulder what he already does.

Then, you have Ignis. Ignis is the cement, he is what puts it all together. What makes it make sense. He is the one behind the details, the one who takes care of those little things that otherwise would go unnoticed and yet are important enough that the house wouldn’t hold still without him. You won’t always see him or pay attention to what he’s doing, but he’s always there and he’s got your back.

Gladio is the roof. He is here, and stands strong facing all kinds of matters he won’t let anyone else deal with. Through any weather and circumstance, he will do what he can to ensure the whole place is untouched. He will take all the blows, expose himself to all kinds of damages, and he does it face first, without ever looking back, without ever complaining. He makes the whole of it feel safe and secure enough that no one would doubt living here.

Now Prompto is what I would call the most taken for granted, disregarded part of it all, and yet, one that I feel is so important. Prompto is what turns the house into a home. He is the furniture, the decorations, the aesthetic, the warmth, the life, the heart and soul of it all. Wouldn’t it be for him, there would be no saying “home is where the heart is”, because without him there wouldn’t be any home to talk about. He’s all these little things that make home so special, so intimate, so comfortable that you would want to stay in it for hours on end.

I feel that while these guys operate on different levels, what made their relationship, their bond so strong, is that they all had a place and a role to play in it. Of course, this isn’t to say they sometimes did not switch positions and that the unpreparedness of taking on things they weren’t yet meant or used to take on pushed them into all kinds of hurtful and unfortunate events, but through it all, it’s because they trusted one another even in the hardest of times that they could push through everything. Their dynamics and the loyalty which bound them together is what led them to overcome anything.

And now, even if Noctis is supposed to be gone (and though I will forever be in denial), I love to think that the way he pushed onward, touching the hearts of the people he met along the way, is what will make it so that the home will never crumble no matter what happens. It’s been built on so much love and strength and desperate will and sheer devotion that there is no destroying what he built and made possible because no one can destroy the genuine beauty and the humongous, extended and heartfelt bestowal of his whole legacy. ♥

I’m not sure if that quite makes sense, I have issues truly expressing what I feel about them as a whole because they represent so much at the same time, but there’s that sense of larger than life feel to them that’s undeniably strong and inspires me to persevere no matter what I do in life. ♥

Hello, I was just wondering which mod you have for Ignis in IGS043? Thanks!

Hello!

I’m super sorry for the late answer, I couldn’t remember where I got one of the mods until a flash of insight decided to strike me with its wisdom earlier on today!

I’m using three different mods on the picture you mentioned, all three from NexusMods and most of them I used on a regular basis (especially the complexion):

Detailed Complexions by Ellise

Drenched Hair by TruKittn

White shirt by PARandLAN

I wish this was helpful and that you could find what you were looking for, my apologies for replying this late again. Stay safe! ♥

Prints date extended

Just a little notice to let you all know that I’m extending the prints preorders period for another week! It’ll officially end on July 12nd. ♥

Emergency

Alright so my bank debited 40€ of fees from my account for some reasons, and so I have very little left to live right now, just enough to care for my cat and to eat. I’m going to have to pay my university fees which are up to 260€ in total (90+170) before the end of August. I can’t find a job due to the current issues, I have no state assistance and I’m on the verge of panic. It’s either I pay my uni fees with what I have left and can’t feed properly for several months on hand, or I just give up on my studies right up and just throw my future away. It’s been hard to resume studies, and if I give up now, I won’t be able to get back to it anytime soon. I just don’t know what to do anymore. So I really need your help.

- I’m currently doing photo prints, if you want to buy prints from me (link to the gallery)

- I sell digitals of my photos all year around - for the emergency I’m now selling 6 photos for 3€ instead of 4 photos for 3€ (link to the gallery in the document)

- You can donate any amount that you’d like to directly to my paypal, I created a money pool for my uni fees

- You can send me a ko-fi

- I’m thinking of posting up writings and such and maybe take commissions because I really need the money, it’ll be on weissermoon

If you cannot help I totally understand and I don’t want to make you feel guilty for that, but I would absolutely love for you to at least help me spread the word, I’m short on sleep and sanity right now and I will take and be grateful for any help you can send my way, be it donating, purchasing things from me or boost my post by sharing it. Thank you so much. ♥

Hey dumb quesiton maybe but how do you get good lighting in your pictures? 😭

There is no such thing as a dumb question! ♥️ 

Well... The first way is luck, the second is tons of moving around... But my favorite despite it being limited is Noctis. When it's nighttime or dim in general, he makes for the perfect light bulb, I just move him in front of the bro or subject I wish to take a photo of, not too close because ghost effect really isn't natural, not too far because it highlights weird aspects... I start ansel and see how it looks and if I'm fine with it I take the photo, then I make adjustments in photoshop and that's pretty much it. Though, your best ally of all is none other than patience I think. x')

OP THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THE QUALITY CONTENT YOU BRING PEACE TO MY SOUL EVERY TIME YOU UPDATE

Hi! I was wondering, do you have the Assassin's creed outfits for the bros, and if so, will you take pictures of them with the outfits? I just really love how they all look!

I don’t, but I could try to get them through the debug mode if it still works or via cheats if there are any to help with that. If I get them working I’ll post photos just to let you know! ♥ I love these so much too, I wish the assassins festival as much as the Choco-Mog carnival were still accessible. U.U

(also unrelated but I really love your icon, Xion looks her sweetest ♥)

Hi, just found your blog and wanted to let you know that I think your pics are breathtaking! 💐 Do you have any pics of beasts or is your focus on ppl and architecture of ffxv? ❤️❤️❤️

Thank you so much for saying such a kind thing this made my day ♥

I do take mostly photos of people as portraits are easier in a way; but I would like to take more of what’s around too. It’s really that I haven’t really gotten to it, probably because I’m lacking the inspiration when it comes down to it. I don’t have any shots of beasts in stock, only a very few of daemons and a handful of Altissia pics but that’s about it for a non-human focus. U.U

If there is something you would want to see in particular that’s not necessarily focused on a character or Astral (they are a true hassle to photograph), then don’t hesitate to tell me, I’d love to give it a try and it’ll give me opportunities to expand my horizons as well! ♥

Late night chill.

Picture perfect.

Hi wonders! I would like to order photos from you, I read it would be available in January but I don't know how to order. I'm sorry and thank you!

Hello! Oh yep, you did read correctly, they will be back a little later this month.

I’m having loads of exams this week, so I can’t find the time to work on the blog for now. Then I will mail the photo prints for the giveaway, most likely this Friday, and after that I will have a two weeks break which will make it possible for me to work on the gallery for the next prints session. I’m also working on a project related to the blog that’s especially dear to my heart and it’ll be part of it, so it’ll all come together then and I’ll let you know when it’s up through an update post as usual. ♥
