(Is headcannon now what Hylnyan's bard songs sounds like if Estinien is in the party. Thanks Fuckable FF14 men)
"Ishgardian Knight~~~
Is like Thavnairian days~~~~~
More often than not, he's hot as Nidhogg
So smite the enemies in my way ~~~~~~~~
Ishgardian Knight~~~
I’m serenading you~~~~~~~
You’re buff and you’re tough!
Let’s get that boss out of the way~~~~~"
“Thancred!!! Stop laughing and get her to quit serenading me as if I’m a maid to be courted!”
“Estinien! Hylnyan is our bardic support, she has to sing!” G’raha defended.
“She does not make up silly songs about you two!”
“Its just a phase, she’ll get over it. Eventually. Take your frustration out on the enemy Estinein.”
“…Fine… Aymeric does not hear of this. Understand.”
“Too late. Some of those songs came from Ishgard. Nyaha~~~”
The world is oftentimes such an ugly place, but sometimes it can be so beautiful.
Like, when two choirs, one from Croatia and the other from Zimbabwe, met on the opposite sides of a Lisbon subway station and both sang to each other.
I unfortunately do not know what the Zimbabwe children choir sang to them (although it was so beautiful), but the Croatian klapa Kastav sang 'Kuća puna naroda' (a house full of people).
And let my reward be a house full of people,
my life, give me a voice, so I can embrace you with songs.
fionna and cake drawings before and after watching the episodes so far. it’s nostalgic and somehow cathartic and poignant and relatable and—it just started
Bard boys. bard boys, Whatcha gonna do.
Whatcha gonna do when they come for you.
Bard boys. bard boys,
sorry for the bad attempt at reggae style.
For Renda-Rea Oh Huntress brave.
Are you sure you're not the First's shard of me?
When both options are Miqo'te and Mystel
And I can only pick one you say.
Exarch, You know it better by now.
To never meet your heroes, no.
I don't see myself as a legend, no no nay.
So I can only pick the one that vibe for me!
Exarch, Exarch sorry about this,
you're not material for this bard quest's story.
Exarch, Exarch. Whatcha gonna do?
Do you only see the hero or the person now?
Exarch, Exarch. Whatcha gonna do?
Heavensward did not warn you that I'm a spoony bard.
-----------------------
Renda-Rea's background is closer to my WoL and both value their "pack" or huntmates. Appreciate what Exarch did, but his song doesn't feel like this Bard Quest's material but her Huntsongs memoirs comrade/huntsmate material.
That and she doesn't think of herself as some kind of legend and can't vibe that song. Totally in line with this quest to pick Renda for me. yes, yes.
Totally sung to the tune of Bad boys.
Oh and Heavensward is WoL at an emotionally low point. Edmont only saw the spoony bard side of her personality at a later point when she was less burdened.
Oh and Congrats Emet! There are two of them Bards now!
One more. In the off chance that the other song is about Lue-Reeq instead of G'raha. My brain happens to interpret it as the G'raha option on account of metaphor/analogue./My WoL's poor sttempt at being poetic. It still feels more like G'raha's story than Lue-Reeq.
Had this Headcannon that when Multi-Lingual Dick and Jason get drunk they start singing Ballads in Spanish. Yeah some classical shit like Vicente Fernandez but also the most wild Selena you've ever heard.
