FFXIV WRITE 2023: DAY FIVE [BARBAROUS]

link to the ao3 post for my entries | day one | day two | day three | day four

barbarous [adjective] - excessively cruel and vicious, oftentimes in ways that are shocking to a societal standard. - wol & fray & sidurgu, ambiguous time after the calamity but before ARR. [TW: mentions of violence, implied SA] 551 words.

"Your recklessness is getting concerning, Ursa. Beyond concerning. Taking on an entire patrols' worth of Knights—it's idiotic!"

Ursa says nothing, letting the hum of healing magic fill the space instead. Only once the spell dissipates does she speak, lifting her head to blink owlishly at them.

"Most of the blood is not mine," she says. Her voice is soft, matter-of-fact, wholly unbothered.

"Yeah, I kind of figured that out by myself," Fray bites back, abruptly stashing their conjuring wand and stepping back from her. She does not move, merely letting her eyes track them as they stand.

"You didn't leave much to identify them by, anyway. Mostly just battered helmets," a third voice intones from behind them, Ursa's eyes flicking from Fray to the unseen figure in the darkness.

"I waited too long this time. Needed more than just their aether," she responds.

"It doesn't matter!" Fray snarls, throwing their hands into the air. "This is excessive! You could have just as easily done the same shite in the Highlands with a herd of karakuls and we wouldn't be in nearly as big of a mess as we are now!"

Ursa turns her head to look at them fully during their rant, expression finally shifting from its impassive mask.

"They're the same to me. Karakuls, Temple Knights. The only difference is that I don't care about the Knights. Killing them does nothing but benefit us. I thought you felt the same." Her voice turns colder as she speaks, a razor-sharp edge to it.

"It's never been the dark knight's way to kill just for the sake of it. Especially when their only crime was being knighted." the third voice speaks again. Fray gestures vaguely in its direction in agreement.

"Sidurgu's right. I hate the Temple Knights just as much as any of us, but the difference is that we don't act indiscriminately like they do. Like you do."

Ursa sits in silence, then, turning to inspect her nails. It isn't quite clear what she's looking for; her hand is covered in just as much blood as the rest of her, with each nail still immaculately shaped and filed. When she finally speaks, she doesn't look away from them.

"I let a few of them go, you know." Her voice is returned to its soft, carefree tone, as if nothing had happened before. "Only the younger ones. Mages mostly, with one of them being a conjurer, I think."

Sidurgu's figure shifts in the darkness, his teal limbal rings finally showing through the haze as he turns to look at her. "That isn't—"

"I saw his face when I tore his superior's spine from his body. Saw how he realized that his magic would do nothing to save him. Not that he needed saving, anyway. I was there when he'd forced that Brume girl to pleasure him."

Both Sidurgu and Fray fall silent, then. Ursa continues to check her nails for any damage as the moment stretches on, leaving only the sounds of the city around them to fill the space.

"You're lucky if they don't come knocking down our door by dawn," Fray finally growls, stomping away further into the darkened halls of the old manor. Sidurgu shifts, as if debating internally, before finally stepping out of the shadows and up to Ursa. Wordlessly, he offers her his hand.

It has come to my attention that Sidurgu from the DRK questline has the moniker of "Sidurgu of the Obsidian heart" which is funky because yeah it sounds edgy- obsidian is black and shiny so it's cool right?

W R O N G

Obsidian is GLASS. Sidurgu has a glass heart. Obsidian can also be extremely sharp- sharper than steel. But it is still so much more brittle and will break if it is not used correctly.

Dark Knight at the end of the day is a protector- they train like hell to be able to protect what is important to them. The path of the Dark Knight is not an easy one- a Dark Knight will inevitably have to kill for the greater good. So they need to be stronger than everyone else. Sharper, if you will.

All of this because the Dark Knight is born out of love. The first Dark Knight was seen as a monster by the Holy See because he protected a child. Their hearts are just as fragile as anyone else's but they have tempered their body and soul to be strong enough to stand tall and protect the innocent in this essay I will-

no but actually. the parallels to other Twins in different nations of teyvat in relation to the traveler and their desire to reunite with their own sibling makes me a little bit bonkers. like.

diluc and kaeya as what the traveler has and fears, after we will be reunited [separation born from conflict that seemingly cannot be mended; they both care for each other but ultimately their opposing ideals mean they cannot be at each other's side in the same way that they used to, and no longer have the close bond they once did]

ei and makoto as what the abyss sibling experienced [a crushing loss not just of one's twin but the last remaining friend they had and the safety and security of their nation, coming out the other side traumatized, cold and jaded and making decisions that will ultimately hurt the people they claim to want to protect for the sake of an unattainable goal]

and lyney and lynette as what the traveler and the abyss twin used to have before they were separated [never apart for long, home is wherever we are together], what the traveler wants [their separation brief and quickly amended, continuing to be inseparable after they reunite], and also the choice they'll have to make [the twins being together in an organization the traveler inherently doesn't trust - does the traveler want to be by their sibling's side badly enough to throw their lot in with the abyss, and turn their back on everyone else they've met on their journey so far?]

#personal stuff #thorn plays genshin #RIPS AND TEARS. #hi . feeling so normal btw #i was thinking so so so so hard about the traveler twins when ei's second story quest dropped #and i am constantly sick in the head about the traveler being tired of the ragbros nonsense communication #and THEN in fontaine the traveler having to watch these two twins who are incredibly close. #and try not to think about what they've lost #i'm. uuaauguugh #LIKE #the traveler and the abyss twin really are what the fontaine twins could be if either of them lost the other. #at the end of his story quest lyney talks about how both of them give each other strength to get through the darkest days #and how darkness never consumes him because he has his sister and they remember the good things together [punches the ground] #also lyney and lynette losing their trust in people early on and having to lie to everyone around them #and getting the companionship that kaeya never got in his childhood. cries #like he had his twin!!! he had his brother!!! but he had to lie to him for years and never felt truly understood until that night #and AUUUGH the running theme of one twin being Light and the other being Dark #one always brightly engaging with people while the other deals with matters from the shadows #and the brothers flipping that on its head when diluc returns to mondstadt - diluc in the shadows and kaeya with the knights #and ei getting someone who will be her shadow so she can finally step into the light herself and see the world with her own eyes. #just AUUGUUGHGH. i'm fine. i'm normal #this is incoherent maybe but augh. augh. siblings. #[looking back at the earth] wait the game is about family? always has been

Ser Fel, the Chimera Knight or Unmoored Knight

i love my arisen who was so cringe and fail that he got removed from his own world. get ratio’d by the Endless Cycle idiot

Thora, the other Arisen in the nihilism meme belongs to @missszena​ <3

in game featuring his pawn Leoris

#dragon's dogma #dragon's dogma dark arisen #ddda #fanart #sketch #art #artists on tumblr #ddda arisen #dragon's dogma oc #my art #screenshots are a bit outdated he has the diabolic shield now. i grinded for this bitch #fel isn't from gransys but don't ask me for names i'm entrusting the sequel to give us more world lore #he defeated his dragon but didn't kill it and got fucked over when he was lured to bitterblack. got lost there and was displaced entirely #thora is the one who stumbled on him and he's wound up in her world but hasn't managed to get back to his #he goes back to bitterblack after witnessing this cycle gets lost and turns into a living armor #note to the cycle maybe next time don't pick the depressed jaded knight as ur arisen. bro couldn't even be arsed to finish his quest #i think often about the lack of mystic knights and most of them appearing as undead. inherently doomed vocation or whatever #anyway i'm terrible at finishing any art for fel sry #i'm gonna go make myself emo over fel's relationship with leoris now. see you whenever

#hollow knight #fanart #myart #comic #i noticed smth was wrong when i was exploring for map completion and the preacher/audience bugs near greenpath were infected #and then i went to crossroads. weird orange haze from the well. it was infected. #so after making sure everyone in dirtmouth was ok i made a mad dash to myla bc last i checked she was singing about darkness #i genuinely cannot even begin to explain how distressed i was when she raised her weapon against me #the last time i was this distressed about a video game was like. probably the t.surumi island quest #you simply had to be in call w/ me bc i was literally wailing over myla #i didn't kill her. i'm still holding onto hope that when i unlock the seal and we fix whatever's going on that she will be cured #we aren't giving up until this game is over
