vierapril day 24--fear

"it wasn't until alisaie fell in the ghimlyt dark--when they were carrying her body back to the forward camp, and further still to the rising stones--when the fear truly set in. when the loneliness rose up to fill the gaps where the scions used to be, and the crushing weight of it settled in.

#vierapril #vierapril24 #oc: eyrie kisne #i should have a gpose tag #ffxiv #stormblood spoilers #i had long tags here but tumblr logged me out halfway through posting so #300/10 functioning website #anyway yeah alisaie was kinda like. the last straw on top of all the other 4.1-4.55 patch stuff #truly they were Not Doing Great #the loss of the scions + all the death at the front lines was Not Great #compartmentalizing that stuff to deal w later #they don't show the fear well but they were terrified to where they were just jittery and quick to frustrate

Honestly the whole dragon thing in ffxiv becomes so much more ridiculous when you learn that dragons technically aren’t native to Etheirys, they’re straight up aliens from the literal dragon planet.

yknow when its revealed midgardsormr brought 7 eggs to the star/hydaelyn i thought "oh! they're from another dimension! the dragon dimension <3" since its alrdy established that the void is a different plane etc. and the dragonstar is probably just some magical/important constellation thing for dragons :3

but. no. he flew through space from The Dragonstar. he's an alien. dragon blood turns you into a dragonmutant. (which miiiight be corporeal aether corruption BUT ALSO MAYBE JUST A DRAGON THING?????)

and then their growth/adaptivity is so funny. ehll tou is in ishgard for idk a month half a year however long the ishgard restoration is and grows like 10 times the size and develops DRAGONTHUMBS bc she was hanging around with doh/dol types. she did more growing than a regular dragonet does in a century all because she was friends with nondragons and crafting stuff? leucrotta the azys lla s rank is a "coeurl dragon"? coeurl dragons ditched their wings and just copied coeurls to hunt better in meracydia????

god i love ffxiv dwagons

I’m just sitting here thinking about the twins and that they’re definitely brilliant and capable but they’re still so young and inexperienced like it’s those little moments you see throughout Stormblood.

Like after the attack on Rhalgr’s Reach Alisaie is trying and failing to crack jokes about her condition and Alphinaud is not having it.

Or when Specula Imperatoris is nearly blown to smithereens and Alisaie has no idea if her brother’s alive and she’s seconds away from a breakdown and even the fugging quest journal points this out and Raubahn has to redirect her energy in order to make sure she doesn’t lose it.

Or when Conrad dies and Alphinaud is shell shocked and can barely speak cause they were trying to resolve things with little bloodshed only to get blown up and then he gets so angry he all but makes a declaration of war until he has to take a moment to collect himself.

They are just little guys fighting in an actual war and their emotions are too big for their tiny bodies and yes they’re prodigies and the age of majority but they’re still children Scoob-

On the Scions and Sacrifice

(I am still mid-Stormblood, so no spoilers please. ❤)

Master Louisoix looms so large over all the Scions, and I feel like it's really given nearly all of them a complex where they feel like they have to be willing to sacrifice themselves should the need arise--and they're all just waiting for that moment that happened to Louisoix, that realization that there is no other choice. It might be death, it might be something else, but they're all so ready to take the bullet, literal or figurative.

We see it with Moenbryda, who says that she finally understands the choice he made seconds before she gives her life to defeat an Ascian. We see it with Yda and Papalymo, Thancred and Y'shtola, and finally Minfilia as one by one they stay behind, urging the others to go on, until only the Warrior of Light is left. We see it again with Papalymo when he gives his life to contain the primal summoned by the Griffon. We see it with Minfilia's willingness not only to hand herself over to Hydaelyn to be her voice, but to travel to a far-off star, maybe never to return, to help save a world she has never seen. We see it in Urianger acting alone to spare his friends the burden he carries for what he believes to be necessary actions. Even Alphinaud basically doesn't allow himself to be just a teenage boy and over and over keeps trying to take the world on his shoulders because he believes it's what he's supposed to do as Louisoix's grandson. Lyse in Stormblood is so ready and eager for revolution but over and over again we see the true cost of war and of resistance to overwhelming imperial power, and we are confronted with the question of what level of sacrifice is fair to ask of people who have already suffered so much and are just trying to survive.

And yes, sacrifice is noble and valiant and all that, but at the end of the day I don't think the effect is a net positive. Louisoix did what he did when there was very definitively, apocalyptically, no other choice. He probably wasn't wrong. But that doesn't mean that it's good or useful for all of his followers to be waiting on a knife's edge for the same. It makes them perhaps too ready to throw themselves to the fire, too quick to assume that a heroic sacrifice is the only choice. Because what if they assume there are other options left, and they're wrong? What if they fail to act at the critical moment? The Calamity scarred Eorzea, scarred everyone in ways both obvious and subtle, and I think this particular scar on the Scions is an ultimately negative impulse that I hope we see them find their way out of. Alisaie, notably, is not about that shit, and I look forward to her seeing what kind of influence she has upon the others.

#constantly thinking these days about how much louisoix's totally necessary sacrifice also kind of fucked up the scions as a side effect #i have so many feelings about them #louisoix leveilleur #minfilia warde #moenbryda wilfsunnwyn #papalymo totolymo #lyse hext #yda hext #thancred waters #y'shtola rhul #alphinaud leveilleur #alisaie leveilleur #scions of the seventh dawn #ffxiv #ffxiv spoilers #arr spoilers #heavensward spoilers #stormblood spoilers #afk by the aetheryte

"You needn't be so concerned. Though his values remain the same, Alphinaud is not the blinkered boy he once was. Slowly but surely, his eyes have been opened– thanks to a certain someone. A certain someone whom he'd be mortified to learn had heard his little speech. Mum's the word, eh?"
