erichthonios turns to look at themis and the warrior of light with a solemnly worrisome look as he falls under hephaistos influence in hopes of reviving his dead mother.

lahabrea prepares to restore the sundered half of his soul, understanding that he will require the full extent of his power to serve the star, even if it means embracing his darkest thoughts and ambitions.

themis immediately recognizes hephaistos as being an impostor, breaking the chains that bind him and requesting that he says his name — elidibus — to prove himself the true lahabrea.

athena tilts her head in an unsettling way as the group asks why she did all that she did — manipulating her husband, using her own child as an experiment — in her quest to godhood.

the unsundered world's most normal and fully functional family 🥰

my tonawawta character, mikela, wears the endwalker warrior artifact gear in shadow blue while leaning the final stage of the warrior zodiac relic, ragnarok zeta, on his shoulder. mike has his back turned to the camera while the red moon of the thirteenth and the void can be seen on the horizon. (MSQ6.4~6.5 exclusive map)

a bust shot of my tonawawta original character, mike, making a peace sign? or a two finger salute? while wearing the new seneschal prince outfit dyed in corpse blue & pure white :)

his oshi color is levi's jeans blue 👖

i am so charmed by how cute mikey looks with themis! their little guy energy is so threatening

gorgeous claudien... the character who kicked off my midlander frenzy 🥴

mario might be a RP oriented OC, but my cheesy past self said that if mario's unsundered, aischune, was tied to erich, then why not make claudien part of mario's backstory 👀 here's an old story: docs.google.com/document/d/1...

closeup shots of my pandae beebos i took during queues... i don't think i ever noticed erich has custom sculpt bottom eyelashes that match his hair, how gorgeous 😭🧡

🩵💛

their names reference my favorite 🇺🇸🤠🏳️‍🌈 musical while respecting the zuni alphabet and adhering to tonawawta naming conventions — hence why mikela's name is not michael or any tangent of 😉

their childhood nicknames, winnie & mickey, also get to be a nod to certain cute mascots 🐻🐭

(i love their nose)

winona & mikela, two pretty tonawawtan siblings wearing modern clothes who have similar features, such as ash blonde hair and strong noses and eyebrows — yet winona's bright lavender eyes contrast with mike's gentle brown — look into the camera with soft smiles ✌️

mikela's older sister, winona 🪽

an inquisitive soul who studied in tuliyollal before returning to xak tural ((with an xbr'aal gf,) to tutor local children 🤓 the author and interpret of mike's letters, it's thanks to her that he can keep in touch with home as he travels from eorzea to the moon 🗺️

PLD (MSQ85), SMN, MIN, BRD (nier raids)

some of mike's tits out glamours with a few little extras 😏😋

existential questions with robots... it's for you 🙏

ouiiiiii je suis super behind, le dernier que j'ai regardé au complet c'est drive (tu l'aimerais vraiment celui-là) mais sinon j'ai vu tous les early heisei, j'étais tellement fan, en fait c'est pas mal ce qui m'a mené au theatre jp. tu me tiendras au courant des quels tu regardes, je suis content

mikela stares up at granson with a mischievous smile. a crudely drawn thought bubble contains a post by tumblr user gh0styear that reads "kinda want to lick him from ballsack to bicep but i'm sure i'm being really cool about it", depicting mikela's thoughts as he looks at granson.

(🔞 text in image) thank you to my writing partner for finding that text post on tumblr and saying it was mike coded. yeah

TU REGARDES KAMEN RIDER????????

yes, that is indeed the quest chain i'm referring to! i just really love all of the humanity and depth to life and worldbuilding every quest instills 😭❤️ (also i'm so glad you do sidequests!! so many people skip them which breaks my heart bcuz the shb+ew+dt ones add sooo much to the story 😭😭‼️)

i'm so glad you recognized it!! 😭😭💔 him wanting to rebuild the house for him and his mom... sobs. i also think of a similar tertium quest chain where a kid says his house was "between the tavern and the bookshop"... all these typical city fun spots reduced to rubble 🫠🫠

AND THANK YOU HE NEEDS IT

🥹🥹🩵 you're so kind, thank you so much! i later realized i could have waited for the star to turn until tural was showing... but i suppose the whole star is mike's home now 😌👍

😭❤️ thank you so much for your help!! i'll try using some of these when i post more gposes 🫡

my hands were so stained with blood i no longer recognized them as my own

#FFXIV #garlemald

i really adore this gpose i took, and i wish it could bless more people's eyes, but i have no idea how this website functions 🥲 do people search untagged words? what tags can i use for people to see my work? i have no idea 🥹

🌏☀️🌕✨

i adore how disturbing this quest is in its immersiveness. how upsetting it is for us to see our character desecrated in such a way... the pain and the challenge of the ensuing duty as an unknown soldier, of borrowed flesh... crawling in desperation to save our loved ones... brilliant storytelling.

mike is such a cutie that he doesn't even look scary while zenos is possessing him 🥹 but isn't this such an incredible cutscene shot? i am obsessed by the way his fur collar fits perfectly into the frame...

garlemald story arc put me in my feelings so badly i had to take a break and go walk in the snow to process in the middle of it

TO BE FAIR THANCRED TRULY IS ALWAYS LOOKING OUT FOR WoL AND ALWAYS MAKING SURE THEY'RE SAFE AND RESTED AND HEALTHY AND NOT LETTING THEMSELVES BE USED AND ETC

HOWEVER

Yeah. me going HUH? cat out loud when lucia said that VS me going NOOOOOO when he made contact 🤣🤣🤣

this queerbaited my dumbass so bad

what lucia meant to say to mike:
(this is a secret coded message to let you know we'll have thancred and the others spy on you to make sure you're safe with jullus)

what mike & i heard:
𝐠𝐚𝐲 𝐠𝐚𝐲 𝐡𝐨𝐦𝐨𝐬𝐞𝐱𝐮𝐚𝐥 𝐠𝐚𝐲

🍈🤲🍈

mike: (says something bratty and teasing)
thancred: (says the most heartfelt flattering thing in the world in response)
mike: guess i'll die now

also here is thancred telling mike his flip-flops are a bad idea (i will always love how doting and caring he has been to WoL from early ARR to the end 🫠)

this has had me swooning for the past 24 hours i cannot stop thinking about it
