would you mind telling us more about the elderscrolls x ff crossovers and the neon cyberpunk ff vii au? :00

i would love to!!!! ouo)b ill try not to make this too long lmao... i’m gonna stick it under a readmore anyway. thank you for asking! ;u;

if anyone has further questiosn about these, please feel free. writing about these was really nice 💕💕

ffxv tes this is the one of the three that has the most work so far. it’s set loosely about 20 years after the eruption of red mountain. noctis is a bosmeri prince and silvenar-to-be named naltiruhn heavenshade (naltir). he’s engaged to soon-to-be green lady luna (larefina nightbloom). it’s a ritual marriage more than anything, since both naltir and lare have romantic partners outside it but they’re also Best Friends. gladio is an orsimeri warrior named gladghorus gro-ahmtahk, from the ahmtahk stronghold. the ahmtahk stronghold have a shield agreement with the heavenshades- which is how gladghorus ended up being naltir’s bodyguard. his baby sister’s name is irsugha gra-ahmtahk and she spends a lot of time with the heavenshades as well. she’s learning to be a blacksmith. ignis is a dunmeri priest named inhlaris shen-tlu. he and his aunt and mother (forgot their names... they were hlaalu aligned, though) were taken in by the heavenshades when they escaped the eruption in vvardenfell, so he was raised in tandem with naltir. prompto is a khajiit named purohm-la moonchaser. he was raised by his mother in cyrodiil after the twin lamps helped her leave morrowind but ended up across the border in valenwood and kinda just. stayed there. now he’s naltir’s boyfriend, kinda.

i do not remember off the top of my head why they end up going on a roadtrip because it’s been like 2 years since i touched this au. i’m getting started on it again tho =w=)b

ffvii tes this is an au i started working on a good few years ago now and kinda let fall to the wayside for the ffxv one lmao. it’s a little barebones rn, i’m still sorting out translating everyone into the tes-verse. not even wholly sure when it’s set, but probably closer to skyrim than the oblivion crisis

cloud is a dunmer, zack and tifa are orsimeri, barret and reeve are redguards, yuffie is an altmer, i have NO idea about cid, and you have no idea how badly i want to make vincent falmeri. none of them are dovahkiin though, probably.

the biggest part i have sorted out for this au is that aeris and sephiroth are both daedric princes. aeris generally appears as an ayleid, while sephiroth changes his appearance depending on who he appears to. i’m not sure of their spheres rn, but sephiroth’s relatively serious about the whole daedric prince thing, while aeris mostly just likes fucking around and ruining people’s days as long as it’s funny

ffvii cyberpunk

this is wholeheartedly based in large part on shadowrun, because shadowrun was my introduction to cyberpunk rpg. =w=)b ffvii was my introduction to biopunk, but i’ve always been very partial for the specific Aesthetics of neon dysto cyberpunk with magic.

anyway this au basically follows ffvii’s story pretty solidly. shin-ra is still a corproate overlord, but they deal largely in cyberware. they work on a planned obsolescence model, with cheaper hardware having a shorter lifespan. basically, if you’re disgustingly wealthy, you can get cyberware to last. so, genre staple.

JENOVA is basically malware but i haven’t figured it out too much. still very much up in the air. i’m also not wholly keen on using shadowrun’s Essence concept, though i do really like cyberpunk’s cyberpsychosis, so i think i’m gonna try work that in somehow)

barret’s gun arm is shin-ra tech, grafted for him after a shin-ra company accident. it was with the intention of tracking him, but he had it hacked not long after he recovered, and he’s been off the grid since. he has complicated feelings about cosmetic cyberware, but he’s also a big advocate of people doing as they see fit with their own bodies.

aeris is a technomancer- this comes into play with JENOVA being malware kind of- the indigenous cetra were technomancers. she’s also a decker, and an untrained mechanic. (cid is a mechanic by trade, while aeris speaks to the tech she’s working on.)

tifa is a decker as well, with a usb jack behind her ear; she doesn’t jack in using it often because that is FUCKING DANGEROUS but it’s also useful to have if she really needs it, yknow?

i don’t know much about how the SOLDIER project works with cyber rather than bio, but i DO know that cloud’s veins glow.

vincent was used for experimental cyberware, and woke up after a 30yr nap with a bunch of tech installed that they have no idea how to use. sometimes they pick up radio frequencies that only they can hear. they still have no idea how to work a computer.

A minor cop story pre-NYCC

I'm going to write about a minor, yet funny cop story that happened. And when I say "funny" I mean "wtf". It lasted 30 seconds, but how it got to that was longer.

Now, as some of you know, I dressed up as Barret Wallace from Final Fantasy 7. I looked like this...

The arm gun was created by @queentron and they live in Oakland. We joked about wanting to mail the arm gun to New York so the TSA doesn't think it's an actual weapon. They brought it with them. Funny story happened when they landed.

So, at New Jersey EWR airport, we got into an argument because I was an hour late. In my attempts to humbled myself for my shortcomings, I carried all their baggage. Literally. Two bags and one arm gun.

Because of the time (close to midnight), I came by Express Bus and since this is only the third time in my life I came to this airport, I didn't know where the pickup is. I was informed by the bus driver en route that this would be the last pickup, when the next one would be in the morning. Now, everyone at the platform of pick ups were not from there, so needless to say they don't know where to go. There were one cop working traffic. So I approached the cop, not thinking of the arm gun I am carrying by default (as pictured) because I got two bags and I didn't want to crush the gun under the weight of my arms carry TWO BAGS.

Now, when I approached the cop, he gave me a strange look. More concerned than humor and a bit of fear, but how I approached him was a man with a focus of getting out of the airport before I made a person who is already mad at me worse.

I said "good evening, can you tell me where the express bus stops to pick up-"

*pointing to arm gun, concerned tone* "what is that?"

Me: A prop. Getting back to-

Cop: why are you carrying it like that?

(note, tho it's a fake gun, it's pointed towards the ground because it would be rude to point a gun, real or imaginary, at anyone)

Me: because I am carrying two bags. Now, officer can you tell me-

Cop: put it under your arm.

Me: *gives a wtf look and avoid the statement* where is the bus to New York? I don't want to be stuck here, please.

He then proceeded to give me directions, all while looking at the gun and never taking his eyes off it. And then, I was about to say thanks, and then he told me "for everybody's safety, can you please carry the gun under your arm?"

Me: *cuts him off* thank you, but as you can see, I'm not in a position to carry a big prop underneath my...

Cop: that's an order, sir.

Me: *stunned*

J: *stunned*

Everyone looking at us: *confused at the cop*

Me: thanks for your concern. *Starts to walk away towards J*

Cop: SIR PLEASE STOP CARRYING YOUR PROP LIKE THAT.

J: HEY!

Me: J, carry one of your bags and look away, it's not worth it.

And then when J took the bag, I proceed to tuck the gun under my arm as he "suggested" and walk towards the terminal to head downstairs... with J making commentary and their anger now directed towards the cop.

While I'm happy that the anger kinda moot our previous argument, we both were still disturbed by the officer wanting to make a deal out of a prop that threaten no one.

Not the Lyft driver to Oakland airport.

Not TSA, the very people we both joked about.

No one during the entire trip.

Even if you take the kindest apporoch and think "maybe it was dark with little lighting and the cop thought it was a dangerous item... If you look at the gun, it was clearly imaginary. And WHO would approach a cop to ask for directions? This was not a joke setup and no cameras were rolling to capture this. It was just me, asking for directions to get on with my life.

This interaction with the cop frustrated me. While it didn't put a damper on the trip and it was a minor issue, you have to wonder... what cop would be that fearful of something like that?

For that, I'm glad Barret had an imaginary gun and not something close to reality.
