Can't imagine why your business failed with Alexandrians like Captain Adelbert Steiner being around, my dude.

Dagger being a weird white mage

Back when I played FF9 for the first and second time, I was annoyed at how Dagger's a pretty clearly inferior white mage compared to Eiko. Eiko gets full life, esuna, dispel and holy, all awesome spells that Dagger just can't learn. I guess the idea is that Dagger has the more offensive summons but even then it's not like Eiko's summons are bad, and her final one is pretty op.

But replaying the game again, some of that is making sense to me. Dagger's pretty cool, really, and she's kind of a mess.

Like okay, the trope of the white mage who actually kicks grown men's asses appears in other Final Fantasy games. Aerith roughs up some dudes in Don Corneo's house, and I'm pretty sure I remember Yuna knocking out some goons offscreen in FFX. Dagger doesn't seem to hit the same notes, though.

I don't think she ever physically overwhelms another character during the game, which doesn't stop her from jumping from towers or ditching half of the party when they don't want to take her along. She also doesn't have the same kind of enthusiasm about her that the other two try to project. When I used to play FF9, I didn't pay enough attention to her name. She was just Garnet with a fake name, but it's more than that. Aerith and Yuna want/try to be world saviors, but Garnet, for half the game mostly wants to save her mother, and it doesn't go well. I think she feels overwhelmed by Brahne's dedication to go commit worse and worse crimes. So she needs to become something more than the princess bound by her social role. She needs to become something dangerous, like a dagger. Someone who will poison the fuck out of her buddies and run ahead if they don't take her to the frontline. Obviously, Zidane's into that edgy shit, I mean look at Blank (lots of potential slash I previously had no clue about with this one btw).

Dagger's also kind of entitled, for a while ? Which, duh, she's royalty. There's the whole poisoning incident, of course. But during said incident, she doesn't poison Steiner because she knows he'll do what she says, even if he might protest at first. Worse case she can just put her foot down and shut him up. She really does take Steiner for granted. And again, what I find really cool is that it ends up being pretty subtly written (maybe in part because it's often played for laughs but not just that). Steiner doesn't mind being taken for granted. It gives him purpose, even when it's tedious as fuck. It's interesting that they're never really that close and their relationship is mostly a power dynamic.

The first trip to Treno might have lots of layers. Both Dagger and Steiner are having some personal crises. Dagger gets really into the whole plot to rob someone to save Blank (she gets to be dangerous and edgy and rub elbows with bandits, and she doesn't even need Zidane anymore hah), which is a sidetrack from saving her mother, but it does feel right too (and at least that one is successful). Steiner keeps trying to convince himself that Queen Brahne must be right and he shouldn't think too hard about her motives, but gets stung by Baku calling him out for having no thoughts of his own. In French, he asks himself "Am I a puppet?", which feels more direct than the english version. And yeah, dude, maybe you are ? You're also being roped into all sorts of business you wouldn't do because you're at Dagger's beck and call. So when they're back in Alexandria, when he finally opposes Brahne, shortly after, he also decides to stop following her to stay and fight with Freya and Beatrix. In retrospect, maybe that was a well earned vacation for the guy.

But yeah, all in all, maybe I shouldn't be surprised Dagger isn't an S tier white mage, and is more into the big damage summons, including the horrific robot from another planet with a completely excessive animation that does darkness damage.

Fandom Meme A-Z

saw this ask meme but I'd rather just fill it out lol (source)

A - Your current OTP(s)/OT3(s)/OTX(s)

...if I limit it to just VERY recently, since I've been playing FF14 I have been thinking about those ships, namely WoL/Landenel self ship, as well as Estinien/Alphinaud having me in a chokehold again

B - A pairing you initially didn’t consider but someone changed your mind

I never shipped incest until JJK fandom got me into Tojigumi lol

C - A ship you have never liked and probably never will (be nice)

I think most of my followers here know that I will never understand Rokurou/Eleanor but especially not the people who swear there’s evidence for it in canon

D - A pairing you wish you liked but just can’t (again: be nice)

KidLaw and LuLaw, since they are THE most popular ships for Law. I hate Kid and I view Luffy as being wholly uninterested in sex lol

E - Have you added anything cracky/hilarious to your fandom, if so, what

...yes, I got into fandom because I started writing crackfic

F - What’s the longest you’ve ever been in a fandom

if you consider me following a band and translating their entire discography and then some as “fandom” then close to a decade when I was into the band DEATHGAZE

G - Do you remember your first OTP, if so who was in it

Blank/Zidane from FF9 lol (and I still love them)

H - What is your favorite source text for fandom stuff (e.g., tv shows, movies, books, anime, Western animation, etc.)

mostly animanga and jrpgs, though there’s a few tv shows where I root for the canon relarionships in them I wouldn’t consider myself to be part of the fandom

I - Has tumblr caused you to stop liking any fandoms, if so, which and why

not tumblr but I fell out of JJK not only because I lost interest in the source material but because I wasn’t liking how much people relied on other people’s fanon (that I didn’t agree with lol)

J - Name a fandom you didn’t care/think about until you saw it all over tumblr

twitter, but... I got into Kimetsu no Yaiba because I was seeing it all over my timeline, I had tried to watch it before and couldn’t get into it lol

K -Say something nice about someone in any of your fandoms

ao3 user schoolboy is one of my biggest influences <3

L - Say something genuinely nice about a character who isn’t one of your faves (chars you’re neutral on are fair game, as are chars you dislike)

...hm. this is hard cause I usually Do Not Think about characters I don’t care about lol. um, I guess... Zaveid, you are uh... fun to play I guess

M - Say something genuinely nice about a ship that you don’t ship (or its shippers, or anything related to you)

I wish I had the absolute ferality and constant output of bakudekus

N - Name three things you wish you saw more or in your main fandom (or a fandom of choice)

well 1. I wish my fandoms ACTUALLY HAD PEOPLE IN THEM lol 2. need more bottom Law with Sanji 3. need more bottom Emet-Selch in general...

O - Choose a song at random, which ship or character does it remind you of

I don’t have anything to shuffle random music so have my Eizen/Rokurou playlist instead

P - Invent a random AU for any fandom (we always need more ideas)

I have one already, Berseria modern AU where Eizen is a professor of archaeology at the college Magilou and Rokurou (bffs) go to, Shigure is a bastard cop (lol), Velvet is Eizen’s ex before they realized they were both gay, and Laphicet is their kid... it’s crack and no I have no idea how to fit Eleanor into it

Q - A ship you’ve abandoned and why

I don’t... think I have? like I always remember old ships and get into them again I can’t think of one I stopped liking. unless you mean something like “stopped writing for” then... Sukufushi, and because I felt like my interpretation of the ship wasn’t what other people wanted to read...

R - A pairing you ship that you don’t think anyone else ships

Doug/Glen from Juushinki Pandora lol it’s just me against the world

S - Show us an example of your personal headcanon (prompts optional but encouraged)

...of what? any ship? mm... JadeGuy married /joking

T - Do you have any hard and fast headcanons that you will die defending, about anything at all (gender identity, sexual or romantic orientation, extended family, sexual preferences like top/bottom/switch, relationship with poetry, seriously anything)

pretty much anything to do with Rokurou lol but mostly that I think any time he talks positively about his family he’s really just gaslighting himself, I don’t think he had a positive childhood at all and it’s the main driving factor in not only his obsession with Shigure but also why he would rather stay a daemon

U - 5 favorite characters from 5 different fandoms

Law, Jade, Estinien, Ginoza, Nezumi (not listing someone for another question lol)

V - 3 OTPs from 3 different fandoms

Eizen/Rokurou, Kougami/Ginoza, Penguin/Law

W - 5 favorite ships and 5 kinks you like best for said ships

how about 5 kinks and which ship I most like for it lol

omegaverse: Ignis/Prompto bdsm: JadeGuy (lol, look...) first time: Penguin/Law (I could write their first time 9000 different ways) teacher/student: Uzui/Zenitsu (it already technically is, but the canon school AU hits hard) monsterfucking: Vrtra/Estinien

X - top 5-10 characters who are yoUR PRECIOUS BABIES AND YOU WILL DIE DEFENDING THEM

1. Rokurou 2. Rokurou 3. Rokurou 4. Rokurou 5. Rokur--

Y - What are your secondhand fandoms (fandoms you aren’t in personally but are tangentially familiar with because your friends/people on your dash are in them)

I read a lot of BNHA fanfic since some of my favorite writers write for it

Z - Just ramble about something fan-related, go go go (prompts optional but encouraged)

if I ever talked shit about self-shipping in the past even by accident I’m sorry I understand completely now sometimes you just wanna date an elf with no screen time in your head

A piece of art of Zidane til Ornitier is being acquired!

Gotta thank @goatofgehenna for being willing to take on the piece.

I know my mutated monstrosity of a genome isn't done due to a lack of scars, but look at this mug! I can just picture him now, perched atop some sort of arena obstacle like how a miqo'te sits, just taunting the living tar out of his foe.

"Awww! You're no fuuun!" Said with a smile at a foe who won't chase him the way he wants.

My goofy mess, who took both Holy and a tonberry to the face, you'll look so different with your scars. You are a mess of a mutated being and I love you for it.

This will likely be the new blog icon for a heckin' long while I like this piece so much.

#final fantasy ix-2 #zidane til ornitier #final fantasy ix #ffix #ff9 #final fantasy 9 #zidane tribal's descendant #ffix-2 #ff9-2 #final fantasy 9-2 #fan sequel project #Now I'm thinking 'bout how some of the other IX-2 characters would look in a realistic artstyle. #Like Blank Slate. Who's an artificial being known as a living doll. so he has ball joints and removable arms/legs. #Blank Slate also has absolutely no eyes and zero eye sockets. #Just a smooth flat space where they should go that's accentuated by tear ducts in the rough location you'd expect for almond shaped eyes. #The lack of eyes is a manufacturer's defect as well. #Funny how a piece of art for one character can get the gears turnin' 'bout how another character would look in the same artstyle. #Z.t.O.
