Speaking with the dead.

Part of a project that's almost complete. I never want to draw another Amaurotine bench.

Playing around with ideas for Ancient Nero. I don’t really go in for the “lovers across lifetimes” trope (though it’s a lovely trope). Especially since Severia’s Azem was very much aro/ace. So it’s mostly just for fun and to juxtapose how different their relationship was then vs. now.

Also he’s a lot shorter than Severia’s Azem.

Whereas Severia is very different from her ancient self, I see Nero being pretty much the same. He’s that student at the Academia who is always blowing things up. But he works harder than anyone else and would have the best grades if it weren’t for that one gifted student (yeah ancient Cid).

I haven’t come up with a name yet. Looking at various ancient Greek inventors for ideas.

Anyway, possible Amaurotine Nero design:

What do you think?

wild to me to see posts like "wow everything in the tempest is named after shakespeare...emet you melodramatic bitch you sure loved theater". because the prospero-emet thing gets played up so hard in the english script and you can carry it so far!

like prospero is an asshole magician who, after being deposed by his brother as duke of milan, settles himself and his daughter on a remote island, enslaves the local spirits using his magic, and bitterly plots to reclaim his past glories. he rules through violence and deceit, and only survives and is reconciled when his plots reach their fruition and his brother is taken to his remote island and plots ensue and everyone decides he was totally right all along and they were huge dicks to him and they're sooooo sorry and he gets to go back and be duke again wow! and it's okay because he's like "i was only doing mean magic to get my rightful spot back and now i'm giving it up because magic is evil. :)"

the tempest is what emet wants his life to be. prospero is not a villain in the text of the tempest. he is barely treated as antagonistic by the text and framing of the play itself. all his abuses, his neglect and control of his daughter, his enslavement of caliban and ariel (local spirits/monsters/people of the island), his deception and plots against his brother, his abuse of magical powers (not awesome, from the pov of the contemporary audience), all that ultimately gets swept aside in the rightness of his return to milan and the warm feeling of the world being set to rights. prospero can't undo the years he spent on the island but they are ultimately a blip in his life before he returns to the rightful state of affairs. his abuse and enslavement of caliban, easily the worst thing he does in the play, is totally set aside when caliban goes "wow now i see how truly benevolent my master is. i love him and see the ways of christian good and i'm so, so appreciative he chose not to kill or beat me even though he totally could have and would have been in the right. he's so just and intelligent." everyone loves and forgives him and they all agree both his management of the island and his ultimate return are so good and so wise and so right.

emet comparing himself to the tempest (or being compared to it, depending on how you want to read the diegetic status of the place names) is absolute wishcasting. it is an attempt to manifest the happy ending he will never, ever get because his sins cannot and would not be forgiven in the way he wants. he wants to imagine himself as the righteous returned duke whose crimes, including the enslavement, abuse, and exploitation of those he saw as his rightful inferiors, were totally worth it, i promise. and if emet is prospero, the warrior of light is his caliban.

#emet-selch #ffxiv #hades #shadowbringers spoilers #like by the time you get to the end you've already spoken to the amaurotine shades and hythlodaeus in particular #it's incredibly clear that even if emet's plans come to fruition he is *utterly alien to the world he is trying to restore*#and like prospero is restored in the end. but his wife is still dead. miranda grew up isolated and alone.#also to take a somewhat more jaundiced view #the things he did to caliban and to ariel can never be undone. that stain is with him forever.#and i mean even IF you can just yank all those souls right out of zodiark and fix the whole thing #there's still everyone who died before the first sacrifice and after the second. also THE VOID IS THE VOID.#'yeah uh we'll just fix that. when zodiark is up and running properly.'#sure dude i totally believe your expertise on the problem you caused by not knowing enough. you definitely know enough now.#anyways he can't waver for even a moment bc it means acknowledging he has betrayed everything he ever claimed to believe in due to his grie #he is in blood stepped so far etc. if i can be allowed to mix my shakespeares #emet-selch more like emet-sunk cost fallacy

One of my big plans for this year was to dip my toes into merch (whether that be pins, charms, etc.) and I’m starting off with these two plush concepts! Since production will require an minimum order quantity, I’ve opened two interest forms!

Zenos

Amaurotine

(as a note the Amuarotine plush sample is already underway)

And so that you have a more concrete idea of what to expect for the final product, here is a one-off plush I had made of my WoL

You do know how to whistle, don’t you, hero?

FUN FACT, Emet-Selch’s “you just put your lips together and blow” line in rak’tika is just more proof he’s a theater nerd who is really bad at flirting. it’s a (previously) very famous line from a 1944 movie called “To Have and Have Not.”

The line is at about 2:48 in the video below, but i guarantee he memorized the whole thing. this entire scene is a powerhouse of flirtation and Lauren Bacall’s in-control delivery is 100% what that asshole is trying to project. Emet-Selch spent literal centuries practicing fantasy-Lauren Bacall lines at a mirror just to recite them at you eventually.

youtube

“You don’t have to act with me, Steve. You don’t have to say anything and you don’t have to do anything. Not a thing. Oh, maybe just whistle. [...] You know how to whistle, don’t you Steve? You just put your lips together, and blow.”

most players just think ‘wow he’s weird’ which, while right and true, makes me kinda sad on behalf of the writers/localization team/etc. This was a spectacular choice, and it’s even better because most players have no idea what he’s referencing - just like your WoL in canon! but yes. emet-selch is weird and atrocious at sincere flirting, but by god, he’s trying.

#ffxiv #ff14 #emet-selch #sorry non-ffxiv folks #emet-selch isn't topping a damn thing but boy does he want you to think he could!!#although this makes me VERY curious about Amaurotine/Ancient media consumption #oh god he thinks azem is a smooth as hell humphrey bogart person doesn't he lmao aw you sad bastard <3

the dead ends dungeon truly deserve its name uh. the grebuloffs can't survive disease > the karellians eradicated disease and so could have thrived but they can't survive eternal conflict > the nibiruns eradicated conflict and so could have thrived but they can't survive the eternal boredom they created > the god they created to finally kill them could have granted the sick grebuloffs a painless death > repeat for 12 000 years (you are meteion)

#lore #also read a take saying the nibiruns could have been the amaurotines if they hadn't been sundered #the rest of the take i disagreed with but this part is interesting. yeah
