Shadowbringers is about learning how to live.

Your enemy is stasis- everything and everyone is stagnant, they wait and wait for something to happen, but don't do anything to make it so (because the ones who tried before failed, because they don't know what to do/how to do it). People don't change, they don't try, not really. The crystarium is doing well, it's independent and sustainable, but it doesn't have the reach or power to do much outside of Lakeland. The Exarch is more-or-less confined to the city (because of the tower, because he's waiting for you), so even if he had power elsewhere, he'd be limited with how much he, personally, can do.

Eulemore is filled with mindless indulgence, there's no hardships or labour or anything but luxury for the free citizens, and the bonded only have to worry about fulfilling the task(s) they were brought for. The outside world doesn't matter, hard work doesn't matter, personal fulfillment beyond indulgence doesn't matter, everything exist solely in the moment. The people out in Kholusia have pretty much given up, they stay close to the city in the hopes that this time they will be picked, this time they will be saved. They wait and wait and do nothing but wait. The ones who try to live on are dying out or eventually give up and join the rest in waiting.

Ahm Areang, Rak'tika, even Il Mheg are all just waiting for something, anything to happen. They go day to day, surviving simply because it's all they can. Nothing changes.

Until, of course, you should up. You, who causes a ripple of change simply by existing, who can move the immovable by sheer will. You showed them that things can change, that things can, and will happen, if they just try. You show them that they can make things better, that there is an option besides waiting for a slow death, if they'd just grab fate by the neck and tell it "No. We are doing this my way".

And they do. They rally up together and do what they thought impossible. Not all their efforts succeed(not immediately), but they tried. They tried, they failed, and they got up and tried again and again until it did work. They take the chances, not knowing how it'll turn out (because it's not about whether it fails or succeeds, it's about having tried).

They learn how to try, little by little, and every step they learn what it means to really live.

Endwalker is about learning how to love life.

Your enemy is nihilism- the idea that nothing matters, that there is no real joy to be found that isn't snuffed out by misery. A concept that denounces greys in favor of a black-and-white view where black is all encompassing. Everywhere you go, people are doing what they can to survive, but refuses (or maybe are afraid to, or maybe never knew they could) try to actually save themselves. The Forum plans for escape, to leave their homeworld behind and take whatever they can afford. They will live on, but they won't be saved, no one is saved(and even with escape they aren't safe, Despair is everywhere and She will not stop until all has become Nothing).

The Loporrits love Etheirys, but in the way Winter loves Spring. They know about it, they are so close to it, but they are distant. They're strangers, they've never met. It's love, and it's pure and true, but it's also just love. It's surface-level(because the surface is all they had). Their love is pure but it's instinctual. Programmed. They love because they don't know how to not love. They want to save it's people, save us, but they don't know what it really means to save, so they create refuge instead(because that's what She told them to, because this is how love works for them).

The people of Garlemald are terrified, they are victims of extreme indoctrination, the (deserved) push-back their army got proved them "right"(that we are savage beasts to fear, that they are but prey in the maws of rabid dogs). They want to be build-up again, but what's left for them now? The world hates them(and it's all their fault, the ones who see past the propaganda know this, but who will listen to them?) and they are dying. It's so cold and the fuel is running out. They won't accept help, because they've been filled with the idea that there is no such thing as pure kindness from "savages"(and they are too prideful to question it, to break apart from the illusion that they are surperior, because they're terrified to face the truth).

The sky screams, the earth wheeps and the foundation of existence is overtaken by Despair, misery is around every corner and who knows what will happen now? Where do we go? What do we do? We live and live but for what?

What's the point of it all?

That's the question, and the answer is everything. We live because there is joy to be found. Because there is beauty in the world. Because there are stars in the sky. Because flowers bloom in spring. Because cats purr. Because waves crash against the shore. Because of every single little thing we can see, hear or feel. Because we love and are loved. Because there are things to do and discover. Because why not?

And you tell them this, by letting them see that there is more to life than the little they have seen. The Forum has closed it's eyes to anything but it's own kith and kin, everything outside of Old Sharlayan is irrelevant(non-intervention, always non-intervention) and it takes the entire world coming and telling them "We are here. We are alive, and we will make tomorrow happen." for them to realize they have slowly been killing themselves and what they stand for(you pride yourself on knowledge, but where is your wisdom? What do you truly know of things outside your own bubble? You do not know that which is lived because you refuse to aknowledge anything but the written word).

The Loporrits see Etheirys itself, they experience it's corners and valleys and learn what love can really be. They want to save it, truly save it, because they love and this time it's informed, it's personal(I love you, I love you, and I want you to know I love your loves too).

In Garlemald everything is slow, unsteady and complicated, but it's changing. They're changing. With every person who accepts help the illusion of supremacy and "purity" melts away just a bit, and the wall standing between them and us breaks a little(it will never vanish completely, years upon years of oppression and subjugation and conquest don't disappear like that, but it's a start).

Shadobringers is about learning how to live, but Endwalker is about learning how to love life.

#FINALLY I FOUND A WAY TO PUT IT TO WORDS #its like. shb is about trying and trying again and again regardless of how it turns out-#because life is a game of dice were any and all sides are possible #but you have to throw it. because if you dont you wont get anything- be it good or bad #and thats not living #and ew is like. doing things not because you have to but because you *want* to #you throw the dice because you want *that* side(s). because you want something (to happen/to exist/to love)#living is trying and loving is wanting. you cant love without life and you cant live without love. not really #i think moreso than any other expacs that shb & ew enhance each other when viewed together (in a broad sense- in a collective)#this turned halfway into poetry at the end but its the only way i could put it that made like. sense to me. its about Feeling and loving and #living and everything all at once #tomorrow and tomorrow and tomorrow #final fantasy #final fantasy 14 #final fantasy xiv #ff14 #ffxiv #shadowbringers #endwalker #xander rambles #going insane. my brain is melting and being build up again and again and again

So annoying when people try to hold alternate-world fantasy to "historical accuracy" standards like. if I wanted historical accuracy I simply would have read/written historical fiction.

The only thing that should matter is if the alt world feels internally consistent/believable. Not "oh but back then" THERE IS NO BACK THEN. IT'S NOT REAL

and just because some aspects of the world (fashion, systems of government, levels of technology) feel consistent with a particular time period in our history doesn't mean that the author is obligated to stick to all other characteristics of that time period. The POINT of alt-world fantasy is to create a world in which the story they want to tell can work, and that's the metric I'm holding things to

#fantasy #high fantasy #worldbuilding #seriously sick of this #Obviously it's common and helpful to use historical research to enhance worldbuilding #but people aren't trying to write an exact representation of medieval europe except with dragons for example #don't you see how that's actually less ''realistic?''#the dragons would change things

#warrior of light #Ardbert #fanart #speedpaint #i draw sometimes #Final Fantasy XIV #i wasn't gonna do this BUT the chronology demons are very persistent #but also like. for my general peace of mind. felt bad about leaving this train of thought on a downer note #because ultimately to me it's so much more about the love and hope. the sprinkle of angst is just a flavour enhancer yknow #so a little happy ending. as a treat.

Too many fantasy societies based upon Homo Sapiens. What about the other great apes, huh?

Chimpanzee: Hedonistic id-driven community. Constant power struggles within & without keep leadership structure churning in a way that could be considered stable if you don't think too hard about it. All neighboring clans simultaneously at war & hooking up with each other, relatively chill with outsiders (but watch out!).

Gorilla: Roving polygamous family unit, with moderate rates of exchange between groups. Highly ritualized conflict resolution procedures generally prevent fatal in-group violence, but individuals expelled from the group commonly succumb to the elements or are killed by beasts. Notoriously proud & squadded up, do not smile at them!

Orangutan: Loosely-connected web of hermits. Complex individual relationships make for interesting chance encounters. Conflicts occur over land rights, the winner sometimes undergoing a strange metamorphosis that deepens their territorial and isolationist tendencies. Obviously wizards.

#world building #obviously gorillas are enhanced by swapping the genders this is World Design 101 #just take all those boring stock fantasy races you don't care about and make 'em into these #Actually no these are all halflings #new setting just dropped it's all fucked up halflings

Like all I want is someone to love and adore, but with the smallest inkling that they actually care about me as a person too and won't drop me the first time I'm an inconvenience. If I had that we'd fuck nasty every which way all the damn time and I'd send them cute nudes to fluster them when I was feeling flirty. It shouldn't be so damned hard to find that 😔

#some beautiful fool out there is missing out right now #dating nonsense #all the dating site idiots try to jump right to the fuck nasty part #you fools you absolute buffoons sex is so much better when you spend time with someone #figure out what they like and what works and how to enhance the dynamic #no I don't want to sing two karaoke songs then fuck in a car #no i don't want to just sext about your one or two repetitive fantasies #i wanna know how you day was and what fun stuff you've been doing #and THEN i wanna talk about how I'm gonna suck your soul out through your dick/clit #you got the order of things all backwards #and no matter what app I'm on it's so clear nobody reads the fucking bios and it's infuriating

I cannot emphasise enough, if your fantasy world has literal magical creatures and beings and cool monsters and people who can shoot magic out of their hands, and the protagonist's just "guy who's rlly good with [weapon we literally have in real life]", how little interest I have in your book

#berserk is different #my rambles #books #also write in the POVs of the monsters for once. ashton and helen's POVs in twig? I live for that stuff it's fascinating #I wonder if it's bc of this fantasy of like 'even in this world where we have xyz，you，too can still conquer it with sheer grit and practice #no fuck that gimme the wizards with the fuck off cool powers gimme the monster/inhuman POVs #if I wanted bland oatmeal why would I read fantasy #if you wanna go for realism go deadhouse gates/baru cormorant or go home #I kid I kid but also not really #also I'm kinda bored with magic systems/powers that boils down to 'make guy fight gooder'#just in the sense that they fight better and not materially do something whose effects is guy fights better #so like 'magic speed enhancer' vs idk 'summon bright flashes that aren't visible to the user' distracting opponents etc #also kinda bored fights with literal magic in them that come down to ending it with a swordfight #in general I just want magic to be *magic* yk #10n
