ok so like. imagine. you're a high-ranking government official and one of your colleagues has announced his decision to step down and retire, and named his successor, so you and your coworker-bestie-husband(™️) go on an official administrative business trip to go meet said guy. and then you arrive and you find A Cat in the bushes outside the office. it's in poor shape but its microchip says it actually belongs to your other colleague-and-friend. you are bullied into taking the cat to the vet AND letting it tag along despite your protests. and you finally find the guy you were supposed to meet and the cat is like. staying in the room. where you are supposed to conduct aforementioned highly confidential job interview. and you try to shoo it away but the guy you're trying to interview is like No i want the cat to be there. Because i'm nervous. About the job interview. Let the cat stay. I trust him because my pet bird loves him :). so the cat gets to stay. and then you keep going and you bump into yet another old acquaintance of yours (now retired and living her best hippie life) (which is highly frowned upon) and she goes Oooooh! Is that my cat you've found? :) and you're like, what the fuck is the deal with this goddamn cat, but you can't say that outright because you are a government official on a very important mission, so you go "i wasn't aware you even had a cat? also the microchip says it belongs to our other colleague" and she goes "oh well no i don't but clearly this cat is wearing the collar i give to all my pets so it must mean he's come from the future :) where i will own this specific cat :) hi little kitty! pspspsp!" and you're like, what the fuck is wrong with everyone today? and then the cat looks at you and says "she's right. i come from the future. where everyone has been turned into cats since the world ended. also i will kill you in about twelve thousand years from now. fucker."

#and thats why final fantasy fourteen is a very good game.#ffxiv #endwalker spoilers

Assigning ffxiv characters as animals

Urianger:

The giant ant eater, they both possess a selfsame quiet dignity and grace to me, but also have the capacity for silliness

Tataru:

a dwarf mongoose, a foolish individual may be taken in by their cute appearances, a wise man knows better.

Alisaie:

Japanese spitz, she's just kind of doggy to me.. but a dog that's also a cat. Originally I thought a Chipom would be fitting, but I think we both know which twin is the yapper here.

Ryne:

goat, raised for consumption 🤪

Estinien:

great blue heron, azure dragoon. speaks for itself really. if that's not enough, ponder the elegant long necks of the elezen, now, take in the image of the bird above.

Y'shtola:

snow leopard, if I saw one in real life, you wouldn't be able to stop me.

Krile:

Asian small clawed otter, c'monnn look at them, use those peepers. I think I've made my point.

G'raha:

hamster.

Alphinaud:

pygmy marmoset, world's smallest primate, I think elves are primates? They're almost always born as twins. He's a twin. Are the dots connecting yet?

Thancred:

akbash, he's a bisexual slut who's also an old dog, specifically, an old livestock guardian dog, I have meta about this, but this is neither the time, nor the place <3

And Bonus:

Crazy Bread! melanistic serval, ears. *nods solemnly*

#ffxiv #nonsense #if you're like. “lou why are they almost exclusively mammals?”#I realize this. and I am sorry. I wish I could be more creative. I am flawed.

Alphinaud: I have a bad feeling about this...

WoL: What do you mean?

Alphinaud: Don't you ever get that little voice in your head that tells you if you're going into trouble?

WoL: No?

Alphinaud: ...That actually explains so much.

#wol: that's very rich coming from *you* alphinaud privatearmy #<- HA #ffxiv

One thing that really gets me about Urianger comforting Minfilia in Amh Araeng is that when she says Thancred hates her, Urianger never actually says, no, he doesn't. He says instead, none of this is your fault, and the original Minfilia wouldn't hold anything against you, and in typical Urianger form he says some things about fate and faith, and his words are kind and beautiful--but he also completely sidesteps the question of how Thancred feels about her.

And I think this moment is very reflective of Urianger's relationship to Thancred and child!Minfilia as a whole. It reflects what we see when we first see all of them together in Il Mheg.

Urianger knows that the way Thancred behaves toward the girl is hurting her. He's spent enough time around the two of them to see that plainly. Theoretically, he could say something to Thancred about it; they're obviously close friends, and if Thancred was going to value anyone's opinion, it would be his. But he doesn't say anything, because he still feels guilty and responsible for all of it: about their Minfilia going to the First and what happened to her there, and thus for what both Thancred and child!Minfilia are going through now. Even though Thancred has never outright blamed him for it (however he may feel privately, which I think is hard to say), it seems like Urianger still feels like he has no right to say anything.

So he tries to compensate instead. He's kind to Minfilia, connects with her in his own way and gives her books, and by the time we see them together he's obviously become something of a familial figure to her. I would say that he and Thancred aren't so much raising her together as they're doing it... around one another. Thancred is gruff and cold and holds Minfilia at arm's length emotionally so that his protectiveness comes off harshly even when it's well-meant, and Urianger dotes on her and tries to make up for it all while avoiding the actual problem.

So that conversation in Amh Araeng is both touching and maddening to me, and it really drives home what's maddening about it when, upon overhearing it, the Warrior of Light turns to Thancred to ask him if he has anything to say to Minfilia--who has just said, out loud, that she thinks Thancred wishes she was dead--and Thancred just says, "Not today."

And so they both go on avoiding the actual problem, for just a little longer.

#this edition as well actually ♥️#ik this makes some people dislike him. but this makes me like him more...#sorry i think fucked up and complicated characters are more interesting <3 #coupled w the fact that my wol actually sort of did hate ryne at first. some kid walking around w the name and face of his dead friend.#ffxiv
