Welcome
Hello and welcome to my blog! You may remember me from the terrible, awful bird app as MrLarkstin, the dragon kisser. That one guy who ships with Vrtra and Estinien!
Tumblr media Tumblr media
And when I say I ship with the dragon I mean the actual dragon, mister Vrtra himself! Big Varshahn is great, and easy to pose with, but I usually try to work with the actual dragon since- thats who Eramus is attracted to!
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Here you will mostly find my gposes and lore rambles when the mood takes me, but more often then not lore is kept on my private twitter (EraAfterDark) simply because I just feel more comfy. But here tends to be a big gpose dump!
I do a lot of weird, artsy kinda gposes that involve my Azem and WoL and various other parts of his lore!
Tumblr media
I write when the mood takes me, which is either constant or like once in a blue moon.
My AO3 is only available for registered users (sorry, I write dragon kissing and I don't like randos being weird in my comments LMAO)
Other then that, welcome!
Thanks for stopping by!
Tumblr media
Oh, I do RP and he has entirely different lore for RP purposes so like. Hi.

In Radz-at-Han, Vrtra (via Varshahn) is preparing to make his grand announcement.
I can feel his fear and trepidation; no less than this great calamity could have prompted him to reveal his secret, so afraid was he of his people rejecting him.
Tumblr media
It will be alright. They will see how much you care for them.
Tumblr media
It is a lovely speech. His people do not yet know him, but they will. And they are willing to extend the same trust to him that he extends to them in this moment. Together, they will get through this.
Tumblr media
That it would have. I hope that wherever she is now - the aetherial sea, or perhaps reborn? - that she knows where the path she started us down has led us.
Tumblr media
Oh great. These fuckers again.
Tumblr media
To his credit, Fourchenault recovers quickly when he discovers he's going to have to negotiate policy with a Great Wyrm. He quickly and succinctly gives a brief explanation of the Final Days, and what the Forum has been planning.
Tumblr media
...I am both surprised and relieved. It's clear I need to reassess my view of Sharlayan; I was convinced that, being so insular, they would only seek to rescue their own people. Fourchenault has risen in my estimation. Marginally.
Tumblr media
Vrtra will meet and discuss the details of this plan of evacuation with the Forum members in Meghaduta. I am heartened to learn that the decision will ultimately be up to the individuals to decide; Vrtra truly is a good leader.
Tumblr media
Nidhana has caught up with us: she has a theory to share!
Tumblr media
Y'know, I asked that exact question when Y'shtola first said they didn't have any aether. Without it, how do they exist at all?
Nidhana's theory, then, is based on the fact that strong negative emotions trigger the transformation. She posits that akasa is the alternate energy that the beasts are animated by.
That... would make sense. Because my flower seems to be influenced by the same force, and...
Tumblr media
Aaaand it just exploded into black dust.
Well, if akasa is the force behind the flower's color-changing effect, then I think it's safe to say that there's something really fucked up influencing our surroundings right now.
*narrows eyes*
...Didn't Hydaelyn say that the flower would guide me? Or something to that effect?
That seems to imply... That Hydaelyn knows akasa is the force behind the Final Days. That She knew all the way back in Labyrinthos.
Why...
Okay, this doesn't make any sense. Because She may be incredibly frustrating, but She's not evil. ...Is She? That doesn't make sense either. She made the Loporrits out of love for us. She gave us a backup plan. If She knows what's causing the Final Days, why would She let us run about in circles trying to figure the answer out?? She must know about the akasa connection, because literally the only thing the flower does is react to it. Why else give it to me??
Is this like the Forum? Like. She literally can't tell me? But why? What rule could possibly constrain a being like Her?
This is... Really fucking fishy. I don't like this. I have a really bad feeling.
Tumblr media
Yeah. And now I don't even have the flower to guide me.
Tumblr media
Oh look I suddenly have a million (five) quests to distract me, better go do them...
Sadly the only classes I have at 90 are Sage and Paladin, so those are the only ones I can complete. Everything else I can only do up to level 87.
But, I did notice something curious while completing the Healer quest?
Tumblr media
Fordola clearly sees the soul of Charlet, the man who became the blasphemy, walk off to join those of their deceased friends... According to everything Y'shtola said, this should not be possible? There should be nothing left of his soul? And yet there is. I am leery of getting my hopes up, but maybe the souls of those changed are not completely destroyed after all?
A mystery...
Anyway. I have a dinner to attend.
Tumblr media
We have to remember, what we saw in Amaurot was end-stage. It is what is coming, but we still have time to stop it. Before things get that bad.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
And now we understand why half the star was willing to give up their lives to summon Zodiark, don't we?
Tumblr media
No, Y'shtola, you've got that backwards. Zodiark stopped the Final Days. Hydaelyn was the one who sundered everything in the process of subduing Him.
But, that's besides the point. Hydaelyn won't - I'm starting to suspect can't - tell us anything more. We're going to have to find our way from here without Her.
Tumblr media
This is why I need to stop solving all my problems with murder.
Tumblr media
What.
Tumblr media
...But it might. There might be some fragment of his soul still in the Crystal Tower. Well, goddamn.
Tumblr media
And so, I will go to the First. Y'shtola will seek to contact Hydaelyn in the aetherial sea. Alphinaud will rendezvous with the various world leaders and ascertain how far the Final Days are progressing. Estinien will--
Tumblr media
????
Emet-Selch?
Are you...?
Tumblr media
Hooooly Shit.
You can see me. You're not just narrating: you're watching me.
Tumblr media
...And you know something I don't.

Round 2: Alisaie Leveilleur vs Varshan
Tumblr media Tumblr media
"She's been carrying a crippling inferiority complex for most of her life, believing she's not good enough and no one would ever like her or rely on her like they do her brother. She got two girlfriends and both of them get killed for character development. She cries on screen more than any other character and she deserves to be comforted and told she's loved."
"After 6.4 Varshan absolutely gets all the hugs."

6.3 A Bright... Detour?
Tumblr media
Damn when did zerosthola break up
Tumblr media
I just thougth the early morning gang was amusing
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Nemi thought that roar was really strange... unless they found a huge void portal there is no way she would've escaped. This can't really be it right?
Tumblr media
"Oh, I can do that too, just watch!" /shares the eye and makes Vrtra get on edge/ "Oh, sorry"
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Varshahn in the coat is cute, but it's odd he wouldn't think of blending in. Lack of experience I guess?
Tumblr media Tumblr media
haha can you imagine if the lemures or someone sent by them was here. No seriously it's kind of odd how there is no one else
Tumblr media
Hmm, I don't have the rest of this scene but, I feel her questioning of things could have been smoothed over. Like cooperation is more logical in a world that isn't in the Void's conditions. I feel that could have been a good segway of, coliving but still not really getting it and making mistakes. I'll still stick to msq reactions in these posts but it's hard when the overall execution is this awkward
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
"I think you two are kind of similar actually, just with different temperaments"
"What do you mean by that?"
"You're blunt and to the point, and don't see the point of things you don't quite understand."
"Hey! I'm not that disregarding!" "Hmm, is that really that problematic? It just isn't my business you know"
"I'm just speaking in general. Don't fuss over it Zero, I like getting to know you and, I don't think there's anything wrong with living how you've had to."
Alisae having suspicions now.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
I wish this bond was the focus of Zero seeing the logic of cooperation ngl
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Alisae's embarrassment at this part was cute. I think her crush has smoother over by now and she's accepted Nemi's more sisterly guardian edges. She's also super emotionally in orbit of others which, makes Nemi very proud.
Tumblr media
"Damn bitch you live like this?"
I think we deduce enough from her living circumstances in the Void, but I think her relating some betrayal or double entendre attempt in the early days of the Darkness shift, since she is less sensible to hunger (?), could have been a good fold for the audience to get her better than we do
Tumblr media Tumblr media
I almost missed this point of her finding community living familiar. I feel accompanying her while she does more of this willingly to
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
I wonder how others read this, but this frankly makes sense: she didn't truly come here out of true will and she isn't inscribed to the local camp, shitty of a move as it objectively is. If Jullus was a character less diminished by context, I'd ponder the how he got the wind of Zero's strange logic to not protest it further despite not knowing her circumstances.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
!!!!!!!!!!! LEVELS OF AUTISM: TERMINAL!!!!
Tumblr media
Damn hit post limit. Check out this crow

Made both of these designs to make merch for myself & friends (a standee for the first and a keychain for the second) but as they’re for characters who aren’t exactly awash in merchandise, I also threw them up on redbubble as stickers if anyone’s interested!

having many Thoughts today about the effect being so thoroughly and intensely suffused with Vrtra’s aether during the Endsinger fight had on Gisèle
I don’t think it changed her to the extent Estinien was by his possession but there had to be some kind of permanent physical changes. maybe little fangs. but mostly internal 👀 like similar effects as her Ishgardians have naturally from their draconic ancestry 👀👀👀

Vrtra: "yeah soooo I just thought I should probably make a fully-grown Au Ra avatar for myself bc, you know, it's better suited for, like, battle and stuff? than the young-boy one? so... yeah.... that's why"

margrat. i need more of her bizarre behaviors
Tumblr media
i forgort
thancred calling it "social struggles" YOU GUYS ARE MAKING THIS AWKWARD FOR ZEROOOO
these drake ass polar bears
the aetherfont is sooo gorgeous also I forgot my codex broke and nearly let thancred die. long time since ive healed a trust party as well but we go slow smell the ice bears
Tumblr media
oh my god :U
thancred: just stick stay close to this one
gourd: slowly turning head with his o_o frontal bird face
they just let thancred tag along just beacause. not to be mean but we could also just meet new people
U Guys Are Leaving Gourd OUt of the Conversation Hinting At Something Happening To Come What The Hell So He Doesn't Get Alone Time And You Guys Are Getting Jobs Without Him Anyway
zero voice Idgaf about that
can the garleans get over their magic fear already you live in a world where there are glowing horses
Tumblr media
damn that's crazy
msq is always very strangely gentle and thorough relative to others when it comes to dealing with garlean trauma or maybe thats just my hater lens. anyway the whole they are bigoted and small minded because they'd been hurt stuff is getting old and it's kind of crazy how this hurt people hurt people stuff is the limit here
Tumblr media
trust me i dont really want 2
a weird bit about the whole garlemald thing is the bizarre angelic benevolence of the ilsabard contingent. not ONE person has been like you know you guys spent the past half century fucking up the entire world and you still demand respect for your gay ass tower because the imperial family sat their asses in it. anyway i have problems with the whole we're actually a totally 100% saintlike patience goodhearted pure intentioned foreign aid group thing We Have To Save The People Of Garlemald on the side of the alliance since the start but whatever
Tumblr media
warmachina.
i dont want the thank you from this man LMFAO
Tumblr media Tumblr media
zerooo 8[ also so much of what zero recounts explains. Cylva.
aw that's true jullus
LMFAOOOOO THEYRE MAKING THE WOL THINK OF ZENOS BECAUSE OF THIS CONVO? gourd did NOT trust that man unless you mean trust him to be awful. and what did zenos trust in the wol that he'd fight him eventually? I GUESS? MAYBE THEY MEANT HE WANTED TO TRUST US BUT I ALSO DO NOT CARE?
we're not friends just because someone calls you their friend 29083902 times 💀 i think that dude barely had a concept of gourd as a human being with his own life
an act of trade also can be an act of charity. THIS IS WHAT I MEAN THEIR POLITICAL WRITING IS SOMETIMES SO.....garlemald is still absolutely at the alliance's mercy + they still obviously believe in right by might re: that one line from the old dudes so there's no reason for them to not be cognizant of the fact we can just take by force and doesn't handle the hanging But Why Aren't They? question at all. this was a pity deal and everyone's like friendship and hope <3. im not saying goodwill and sincerity cannot exist between groups but this requires a sense of solidarity that we do NOT have with garlemald considering we still have to step entirely around the subject of their imperial affairs
you see as a nation they're not equals. they're the languishing half dead scattering remnant of an empire that built its wealth and prosperity for a time on war, theft, and enslavement of the rest of the world and radz and the alliance absolutely could just turn the tables and invade and probably just wipe out everyone here without breaking a sweat. of course that's abhorrent but it's crazy that THIS particular pain even the mere thought of it is made to not exist while the garleans get to be complicated about it. they want to keep their national name and pride with none of the consequences and we don't even demand that as if a nation is sacred and untouchable even after everything. I don't get it bro
i like the way varshahn says wyrm
THE LITTLE SQUICH SOUND WHEN I TAKE HER EYE?
Tumblr media
glitter guy....

Tumblr media
After a mad dash through the Thavnairian jungle, fighting off beasts on the way, we arrive in Palaka's Stand. The village is free of monsters, but the dead and dying are strewn about all over. We set about providing aid where we can.
Tumblr media
Matsya's friends Mehvan and Qerasaf, and their child, are nowhere in sight. They were last seen heading towards Agama Temple, with a beast in pursuit. I agree to accompany Matsya to search for them while Alpinaud and Alisaie help heal the villagers.
Tumblr media
We are too late to save Qerasaf, who has been mortally wounded. But we are in time to hear his dying words, and to console him, and prevent him from turning into a beast. He dies as himself. Matsya and I race to find Mehvan in the jungle between here and Palaka's Stand before she meets a similar fate, but we come up empty handed.
Tumblr media
In the skies above Thavnair, Vrtra and Estinien find a brief moment of respite from fending off the hoard. Estinien receives a call on his linkpearl, and so it is that he and Vrtra both learn of the attack in Radz-at-Han, and Ahewann's death.
Vrtra is clearly devastated to hear of his friend and companion's death. This, on top of the fate of his people who turn into monsters, weights heavy on him. I feel for him.
Tumblr media
Estinien bids Vrtra to rally, and to become the leader Ahewann desired him to be before his death.
Tumblr media
Vrtra, though, fears that his people will see him as no different from the beasts. That they will be frightened of him.
Estinien talks to him of the Dragonsong War, and the pain and bloodshed from it. But he also reminds Vrtra that, even at the war's height, Hraesvelgr still carried Ysayle to battle, and lent me one of his eyes, that we might triumph over Nidhogg. Had he not done those things, the war would still rage on.
Tumblr media
Ahewann was a true servant of the people, and he placed his trust in Vrtra.
Tumblr media
Matsya and I again venture out into the jungle in search of Mehvan and her baby, this time with Alisaie and Alphinaud in tow. We do not find them, but do manage to rescue a great number of people who had taken shelter in one of the temples.
Tumblr media
The people are by turns hopeful and despondent, many have lost family and loved ones. We fear that the more they dwell on the tragedy the more likely they are to turn into beasts.
Matsya reminds the people that they are in a place of worship, and to look to the words of their gods. Together, they recite some of the teachings, about the hardships of life, and it visibly helps to calm them.
This is a nice scene. Too often we see the ugly side of faith reflected in things like the primals, but here we see the people take solace in their faith and it provides them reassurance and comfort in their time of need...
Tumblr media
I am put in mind of something my own god, Hydaelyn, said to me back in Labyrinthos, when she first gave me the elpis flower.
Tumblr media
Just as we send the people we've rescued off to safety, Alisaie spies a beast in the distance that appears to be chasing something.
Tumblr media
We catch up in time to see the beast grab Mehvan by her head and throw her bodily into the water.
I dive in after her, while Alphianud and Alisaie deal with the monster. Mehvan is dead. I rescue her child, and bring her back to Alphinaud for healing.
Tumblr media
The baby needs more care than we can provide here. We have to get her back to Palaka's Stand.
Tumblr media
But we've made too much noise! The monsters are closing in!
Tumblr media
Matsya must take the child back to the village if she is to live. We will keep the beasts from following him.
Tumblr media
Matsya is running as fast as he can, but the baby starts leaking black smoke - the sign that she is about to change into a beast.
Tumblr media
He tries to keep both himself and the child calm by reciting the teachings that had so helped them earlier.
Tumblr media
No! No. Matsya too is now leaking black smoke!
I have never been so scared for an NPC in all my life.
He continues reciting the teachings as he runs, and I am praying along with him. Run Matsya! You can do it! Keep going! Hydaelyn, help him, please!
Tumblr media
No! Just as the aetheryte at Palaka's Stand comes in sight, two beasts emerge from the jungle.
Tumblr media
Just as all hope seems lost, Vrtra and Estinien descend and crush the beasts where they stand.
Tumblr media
Matsy's relief is overwhelming. I could cry too. But, the child is not out of the woods just yet.
Tumblr media
Vrtra saves the baby. I do not know how, but I will not protest small miracles after all the bad that has happened.
Vrtra escorts Matsya and the child to Palaka's Stand while Estinien goes to catch up with us, and assist finishing off the beasts.
Tumblr media
Before returning to the village ourselves, we retrieve Mehvan's body and lay her beside her husband, where their friends can perform the appropriate rites once it's safe to do so.
Tumblr media
Once returned to Palaka's Stand, Vrtra prepares to reveal the truth of his role. So far, the people are receiving him well...
Tumblr media
And if Nidhana (who arrived just in time to hear the revelation) is to be our example to judge by, I believe that all will be well! On this front, at least.
Tumblr media
After checking on the villagers we rescued, and assisting Nidhana in passing out chai, we are confident that Palaka's Stand is in good hands. Now, to return to Radz-at-Han.
