I can't take it anymore. I'll never get sick of Baizhu. I try to play Alhaitham, Baizhu can heal me. I try to play Furina, Baizhu can heal me. I try to play Tighnari, Cyno – Baizhu can heal me. He takes me by the wrist to check my pulse. I forage for him. I craft five copies of Prototype Amber for him. He's satisfied. "This gives me a good amount of both HP and energy" he says. "I don't need any field time to full heal your entire team." I want to pull the Jadefall's Splendour but I can't, I don't have enough primogems. He shakes his head gently and puts my credit card away to be used on something more important. "This is not the end. You're taking a turn for the better." There is no hint of malice in Changsheng's eyes. Nothing but pure, instant, teamwide healing with no circle impact or energy hunting. What a kind world.

"devotion that corrupts" this, "devotion that leads to ruin" that. no, fuck you. devotion that heals. devotion that motivates and edifies and gives those involved the will to keep fighting because now they finally have a reason to. devotion that is met with care and responsibility and warmth and acceptance. devotion that is returned a thousandfold. devotion that is projected outward to have a transformative impact on everyone in the vicinity. devotion that isn't perfect, but tries to do good.

look, guys, this may seem ironic coming from a person with Verbose Disease, but I'm about to tell you the secret to winning social media: shutting the fuck up. you have a controversial discourse opinion? shut the fuck up and no one will know. can't participate in a boycott for various reasons? shut the fuck up and no one will know. you think or do something Problematic that has no bearing on anyone but yourself? shut the fuck up and no one will know. you haven't been keeping up on a pressing social issue? shut the fuck up and no one will know. your mind is a wonderful place where you can have all the bad takes in the world and they're all perfectly insulated from everyone and everything unless you try to excise them on a grand scale. you can take the mental L all by yourself without using a public platform as a confession booth and face zero repercussions and it'll be just fine. open up a damn diary and explain yourself there.

5. duty
the people of eitherys seldom speak of death. of ascension, of returning, certainly; but death is a mere unkindness, too sudden, too brutal, ugly and graceless in its inevitability.
to return to the star is noble. to die is a misfortune.
but even unpleasant business must be taken care of. such is the domain of the siopiloi, or the silent ones. they are the guardsmen of the underworld, and theirs is the duty of balancing the books of life and death, of transporting lost souls across the veil, and of performing the necessary funereal rites to ensure their safe passage.
and as astero came to learn all too well, theirs was the duty of delivering a swift and final end.

6. Does your OC know magic? Were they born with magical ability or did they train to acquire it? What is their favorite type of magic? Least favorite?
(sidenote: i hc that everyone on etheirys (sans garleans) is capable of using magic at some level, it's just some people are better at it, the same way everyone can learn to swim but michael phelps gets medals because he's a genetic freak of nature)
aurelain: most of his magical ability was learned, centering around super old-school elemental conjury. his main focus is on healing magic, though he dislikes using it because of how easily it can go wrong (bones being set wrong, for instance, or overhealing damage). he also has a few abilities conferred by the scholar job stone he found (chiefly the faerie summons), but he seldom makes use of them. in the very rare cases he has to make use of offensive magic (which he is also loath to do as a pacifist) it's based around earth, wind and water, as most conjury tends to be - though it's also very rough and unpractised, and more than a little brutal as a result.
(in xiv terms he's like if a cnj accidentally equipped a sch rock somehow lol)
ameny: was literally born with freakish surplus aether. as a child it manifested in her being able to use magic without needing a focus, but with the consequence of burning her hands with sheer energy every time she tried. as she grew up she went through rod after rod as each one couldn't handle the strain and just gave up (usually explosively) until she was able to build one that could withstand her volatile aether. in turn her magic is... a garbled mess of spellwork that is singularly ugly in its construction, with little purpose besides 'amy want big boom.' it has gotten more refined over the years as she's learned to actually use it wisely, but it's still a mess of magical spaghetti code.

GET TO KNOW THE OC ASKS
1. What kind of person is your OC in a crisis? Are they calm and collected? Do they panic? Or are they chronically the cause?
2. Is your OC a loner or a social butterfly? Are they satisfied with how they come across to other people?
3. What is your OC's financial status? Are they just scraping by, making enough to live comfortably, or wealthy? Has there ever been a drastic change in their status? If so, what happened?
4. Does your OC have a failed friendship or relationship they still think about? What happened? Is it an unresolved regret or is there a chance for reconciliation?
5. Does your OC have a signature weapon and/or attack? How long did they train to master it?

9. Is your OC laid back or do they thrive on drama? What role do they play in their group of friends/associates?
10. Is your OC sentimental or pragmatic? Do they keep mementos or only what they need to survive? Have they always been this way or did something happen to make them change?
11. What does your OC believe in? God(s)? Monsters? Love? The power of unbreakable bonds of friendship to overcome any obstacle? The ability of money to open any door? Or are they indifferent?
12. Is your OC cynical or optimistic? Who or what shaped their outlook on life?
13. How important are romantic relationships to your OC? Do they prefer casual sex, short flings, or long term relationships? Do they want to get married or are they content with what they have? Or do they have no interest in romance whatsoever?
14. How important is friendship to your OC? Do they prefer to have one or two close friends or a large group of casual friends? Or do they prefer their own company over that of others?

18. Has your OC ever had a prophecy made about them? Was it a big deal or did they ignore it? Was it straightforward or cryptic? Did it ever come to pass or did they circumvent it?
19. Has your OC ever had an experience with the paranormal or the divine? What happened? Was it a one time encounter or is it a normal part of their life? Did they find it terrifying or thrilling?
20. Has your OC ever done something terrible and lied about it? Did they run away or blame someone else for it? How long did they maintain the lie and did the truth ever come out?

excerpts from my comic in the upcoming spiderforest anthology.
there are many stories here, all themed around immortality; mine is a short story from the universe of tuppence about cruel inevitability.
(and a certain someone makes a cameo....)

musing aloud about this good post + tags i saw but i'm absolutely signing myself up into the camp of 'the elementals arent as dangerous as they used to be but gridania clings to their word out of tradition (with the keepers/duskwights as scapegoats)'
something i've always personally headcanoned is that the elementals are actually chill with the duskwights and keepers, and both groups have their own way of communing with them like the hearers do (duskwights have the taltos/druids, that sort of thing), its just. the culture around them has grown very different to both groups and gridania refuses to consider them at all because assimilationism
would have more coherent thoughts but brain fog...
