It's been a bit but have a Mehka doodle, inspired by me poking around in the dawntrail benchmark and deciding to alter her eye colors a little bit

#bound with thread | original posts #seal it with wax | art #hallowed sword of light | mehka greystone (a'mehka'ahma) #i need to draw mehka more tbh. i really need to draw her more so i can get better at drawing fat people #alas! the lack of spoons! #this is from i wanna say a week ago? i've been looking at some art tutorials for drawing fat people #so i want to work some of that new information into how i draw mehka. she deserves to be drawn accurate to how i imagine her to be yknow? #anyways. have this mehka for now and hopefully i will have spoons to draw her more frequently once the spring semester is done #i have summer classes but those are online so hopefullyyy i shall have more time/spoons #this is: 1am ramblings with simon

i always thought it was sad for seekers to consider heterochromia to be auspicious and yet g’raha was bullied for the unnatural hue of his royal eye… seeing his peers celebrated while he grew out his bangs to cover one side of his face in shame TT

#letters from far off skies | reblogs #g'raha tia #ohhhh he's so baby. . . #yeah it's SO sad that seekers consider heterochromia to be lucky but poor g'raha got bullied

i was just thinking about the uniquely intimate nature of seeker given names… for someone so ruthlessly rejected by his peers in his youth, work up the courage to put himself in the vulnerable position of asking someone if she considers him to be as close as he does her, and to be met with casual yet genuine acceptance by his first real friend. *crying*

Mehka currently doesn't have any nicknames, but K'pheli has one! It's "Phelye" (pronounced "fell-ye", roughly), and it's a shortened version of his Gelmorran name, Sae'pheli'ehva; "Phelye" comes from the way the "pheli" in Sae'pheli'ehva is pronounced, since the i and e sounds elide some.

It's not a nickname that's commonly used for K'pheli -- the only ones to really use it are K'leytai (his older sister) and G'raha (his husband).

oh hello! a wol question, perhaps?

does your wol/oc have any nickname(s)? if so, what are they?

given to them by family? friends? do they have meaning to their appearance or their personality? are they an inside joke? do they like their nickname(s)? bonus: do they give people nicknames?

One thing that really gets me about Urianger comforting Minfilia in Amh Araeng is that when she says Thancred hates her, Urianger never actually says, no, he doesn't. He says instead, none of this is your fault, and the original Minfilia wouldn't hold anything against you, and in typical Urianger form he says some things about fate and faith, and his words are kind and beautiful--but he also completely sidesteps the question of how Thancred feels about her.

And I think this moment is very reflective of Urianger's relationship to Thancred and child!Minfilia as a whole. It reflects what we see when we first see all of them together in Il Mheg.

Urianger knows that the way Thancred behaves toward the girl is hurting her. He's spent enough time around the two of them to see that plainly. Theoretically, he could say something to Thancred about it; they're obviously close friends, and if Thancred was going to value anyone's opinion, it would be his. But he doesn't say anything, because he still feels guilty and responsible for all of it: about their Minfilia going to the First and what happened to her there, and thus for what both Thancred and child!Minfilia are going through now. Even though Thancred has never outright blamed him for it (however he may feel privately, which I think is hard to say), it seems like Urianger still feels like he has no right to say anything.

So he tries to compensate instead. He's kind to Minfilia, connects with her in his own way and gives her books, and by the time we see them together he's obviously become something of a familial figure to her. I would say that he and Thancred aren't so much raising her together as they're doing it... around one another. Thancred is gruff and cold and holds Minfilia at arm's length emotionally so that his protectiveness comes off harshly even when it's well-meant, and Urianger dotes on her and tries to make up for it all while avoiding the actual problem.

So that conversation in Amh Araeng is both touching and maddening to me, and it really drives home what's maddening about it when, upon overhearing it, the Warrior of Light turns to Thancred to ask him if he has anything to say to Minfilia--who has just said, out loud, that she thinks Thancred wishes she was dead--and Thancred just says, "Not today."

And so they both go on avoiding the actual problem, for just a little longer.

Thinking of doing a countdown to Dawntrail. You can write, screenshot or whatever based on your energy level and the theme of prompt. I don't think I have anything challenging in mind. And it'll be weekly based so you don't have to keep up with it on the daily. It will probably be like this:

A Realm Reborn: Choose a prompt

Favorite Location

Favorite Dungeon

Favorite NPC

Your Grand Company

Favorite Raid

Favorite Armor from this expansion

Favorite Moment

And then the next week will be Heavensward and then after I get through up to Endwalker...something else I guess.

Would anyone be particularly interested in this?
