Ancients deserved better

I might get some hate from the Venat loving community for this, but at this point I really do not fucking care. i was so angry, and still am, about the way that SE treated the Ancients in EW. The whole thing does not sit well with me, at all, especially after the nuance that shb introduced.

First of all, they forced a closed time loop when they didn’t have to. They could have given the Ancients a happy ending in a branched timeline, the same way that the 8UC timeline branched off at the end of shb. Second, they made the Sundering intentional and made us complicit in it by not at least trying to tell Emet Selch or Hythlodaeus what was to come. SE made me hate Venat, and I thought when I first entered Elpis that that would not even be possible. Smashing her tits in and then skipping the cutscene right when they tried to make me fawn on her felt damn good. It was the first time I have ever actually felt satisfaction at killing a boss since I killed Thorden back in HW. With the exception of Fandaniel, but…I hated the side effect of killing him. I am a WolIdibus shipper, and lemme tell ya, Elidibus sure as shit deserved better than what he got. I just wanted to reach out to him and tell him “you are not allowed to die.” But yeah, that is basically my feelings. EW was rhe first time I truly hated an expansion but for one zone.

#ffxiv #FELT #being forced to fawn over and completely remove any indication of disapproving her actions made me so #so what if u slogged through time covered in black goo... the entire “i feel bad for this” sequence lasted 5 secs #before everyone is like. this is totally the right thing to do.#uhhhhh she basically killed everyone in the ancient world #she doomed them to die when she didnt tell the convocation about dynamis bc hurrdurr hermes might be bad >:(#and killed them again when she sundered them for grieving. which is. a totally normal thing to feel btw when ur loved ones are dead #bc i still wonder if they were just planning to sacrifice animals andnplants n shit lmfao #also???? knowing what happened of the sacrificed ones????? they been in PURGATORY lost in a frozen moment of terror for ages #i dunno but... it feels even more sad to just let them stay there when. the ancients coulda done smth #who knows if they could have done smth abt those and dynamis but rlly. venat took away their chance to try when she decided their fates #she had no right ://#out of everyone i wanted to save the ancients the most after shb and elpis and its so sad to afk there KNOWING theyre dying in a few months #smtimes it feels she doesn't love humanity or her world she loved the world that wol lived in... so she sacrificed her world for ours :<#whoops rant

Archetypes Headcanons

based on the tarot deck by Kim Krans called The Wild Unknown: Archetypes

The Selves:

|| The Starborn || Has your muse ever felt a sudden surge of desire for a long-lost dream? If so, describe what it was like. || The Eternal Child || Does your muse want to nix all rules and responsibilities and go beyond what others say is possible? If so, describe a time they did just that. || The Mentor || Did your muse have a parental figure other than their parents? Who was their mentor and how did they influence your muse? || The Warrior || Does your muse have a true purpose? What do they stand for? What are they willing to rise in the name of? || The Comic || Does your muse see and accept the messiness of life? If so, do they use that as material to be shaped into a potion to soothe the stressed mind?

The Places:

|| The Heart || When was the last time your muse’s heart was touched? Soak in every detail you can and feel the heart awaken. || The River || The river is emotion. When was a time your muse was in its current? They will know it by the bursting forth of tears, laughter, song, despair. All the emotions flow in its current. || The Forest || When was a time your muse spent a night frightened for their life? How did they handle it? || The Dead End || When was a time a dead end lead to unimaginable wonders for your muse? || The Empty Room || Does your muse feel an overwhelming feeling of lack? Do they crave to fill themself with something to remedy the discomfort of feeling an unrelenting sense of want? || The Box || Everything in the box is known. Everything outside is unknown. That is why it’s more comfortable to stay within its walls. Does your muse fear leaving the box? When was a time they had the courage to do so?

The Tools:

What was changed in that moment?

The Initiations:

Themis's Last Words

[in JPN]: 「数多の星のどれでもない。君という星が私の前に現れたことを、幸福に思う。どうかこれからも、この世界すら超え、思うがまま飛び給え。遥か彼方を目指す、ほうき星の如く・・・・・・。」

[Transl.] "You are not one of the many, countless stars [but a special one].... but the one that I met. That I could appear in front of you is [one of the greatest] blessing[s] [I could ever have]. From now on, go beyond this world, and fly as you wish. Aim far, far away, like a comet...."

the ethereal happiness that Themis conveyed in Japanese was so unreal... and it was one that I really wanted to capture :"> I absolutely had to translate it in some shape or form

calloused hands in soft hands - Azem & Elidibus

When he returns to his office, she is sat there on his desk, her mask set aside atop the documents he has been working on – something that he is absolutely certain cannot be anything but quite deliberate.

All told, it is surprising. Not that Azem is perched on his desk, nor that she is not wearing her mask, but because Elidibus is sure that she is not due to return to the city for at least another week, when her vote will be required as regards reform to the wings of Akadaemia Anyder. Then again, she can be late and early and everything in-between when it suits her, and he should know better than to let himself be surprised by anything, for as long as they have known one another.

She does not budge from his desk, but a smile lights her eyes as her gaze meets his, brightening as he closes the door and removes his own mask.

“You are early,” he unnecessarily points out, reaching for her hands to hold once he has closed the distance between them.

No new scars, Themis notes. A reddening of something like a burn along the inside of her thumb, and her nails are blunted and ragged, yet it seems there is no more harm than that. There are the usual, faint, calluses at the height of her palms, reminders of weapons thrown and caught, and in the process of telling himself that he must not heal the burn mark for her, he tries not to think about how she might have earned it, or that his own hands are blemish free.

“Actually, I am here and gone,” she returns, glancing down at their hands before she fixes him with a stare that bears some measure of chastisement that…

…She cannot have come home purely because of…?

“Emet-Selch tells me that he believes you actually slept here on at least two occasions recently.”

It is no use lying to her.

“Extensive research is required for—“

“And that when he invited you to dinner, you politely, but firmly, refused,” she continues, the weight of her words somehow highlighting this part of the tale as the bigger crime.

Silence.

Azem adds, “More than once,” with a tightening of her hands on his.

He chooses to study her abandoned mask.

“Personally, I believe he exercised great restraint in not sending Hythlodaeus to convince or kidnap you.”

His faint smile is only somewhat reluctant, and he discovers it to be a mirror of hers when he finally allows himself to return his attention to her.

“My understanding was that you knew better than to refuse invitations from family,” she says gently. “Especially in my absence.”

“That my choices should make me a burden is not—“

“You are no burden,” she insists. “We are all devoted in our own ways. Sometimes, that means we have to trust that those we love will help us to… find a better balance. And I’m afraid, dear one, that that means you too. It is far too late to escape now.”

It is an easy thing for him to tell her, “I have no wish to escape.”

“Good.”

Reaching for her mask, she informs him, “You are expected at dinner this evening, and I have told Emet-Selch that he may send Hythlodaeus to remind you if you are late.”

“I will not be late,” he promises with a small, wry, smile.

She presses a kiss to his cheek by way of farewell, and vanishes.

---

Thank you very much for the prompt, Anon! :)

(Hand-holding.)
