hi ive been following for a bit and noticed ur playing ffxiv and are in heavensward! i just wanted to stop by to say i recommend playing dark knight; the quests are fun and i think u would like the characters in there. as a heavensward job, the quests from 50-60 help round out the setting a bit more (wrt the dragonsong war, the systems in place in ishgard, those w power vs the victims, etc) which i think makes it a good job to pick up while progressing. it helps that theres some p funny shit that happens too. i <3 moogles
omg thankyou i appreciate it! :] i actually did pick up the quest bc i like tanking but have been postponing it bc the main story has really grabbed a hold of me but you are right. ishgard is probably the most interesting thing in the entire game to me rn so i will get back to it this weekend then o7 fray seems so cute lol T___T feel like i genuinely forgot about this quest until now help
iwill use this ask as an opportunity to say i am actually pretty particular about being told things before i get to them myself (unfortunately for my friends who have to deal w me getting angry at them about this often) but i understand i can be an outlier when it comes to wanting to know absolutely zero about something. curating my online exprience and all that. just a heads up for ppl who might message me in the future but i think it's best for me to say this now!
anyways, ty for following me for a bit and sharing your ffxiv excitement with me! i've really been enjoying it except for the vault and i have a lot of ffxiv stuff i want to draw soon (i actually hopped onto tumblr to post about it lol) so i hope you can look forward to some ffxiv fanart from me soon hopefully crycry. in the meanwhile have a haurchefant i drew on the weekend bc he's all i have drawn from this game so far

Accidentally Scaring Them
Characters: Kyōjurō, Zenitsu, and Tanjirō
A/N: Inspired by that time I scared myself when I saw my own reflection at night, face hidden behind a curtain of hair like Sadako from The Ring, lol.
Chirk.
The match struck against its box, setting itself alight and softly illuminating the dark room. You held it over the candle you’d set up on the table centered in the room, careful to not let the wig you were wearing catch fire. Once the candle had been lit, you put the match out and grab your hand mirror. In it, you could see your deathly pale complexion, gaunt cheeks, and dark circles under your eyes. Of course, everything you saw in your reflection was nothing more than the work of makeup, done by Shinobu herself.
Earlier that day, she’d sought you out for help in scaring Giyū. During a recent meeting of the Hashira, Mitsuri had mentioned how it was almost that time of the year for the Night Parade of One Hundred Demons to start, and Shinobu had gotten inspired by it. Her plan was to have some people – namely you and Kanao – dress up as traditional ghosts and scare the living daylights out of the poor Water Hashira.
You had agreed to let her dress you up and the prank ended up going rather well. It certainly hadn’t been fun for Giyū, suddenly being approached by two ghostly figures while walking down a desolate alley; even though he hadn’t screamed or anything of that sort, you saw how he blanched and the way all life left his eyes. Shinobu had a blast though, popping up behind Giyū shortly after and almost giving him a heart attack.
And with the day now over, you’d returned back to your room, still dressed in your costume. But before you removed your makeup and changed clothes, you wanted to admire your ghastly appearance for one last time. Holding your mirror at different angles, you had to admit, Shinobu did a great job at making you look terrifying. To add on to the makeup she’d done, she made you wear a wig with extremely long, black hair and don on a simple white kimono. Very traditional indeed.
Wanting to experiment with your current attire, you moved all of the hair from your wig to the front, fully covering your face. At that moment, you heard your door slide open and your beloved calling your name as he entered your room.
---
Kyōjurō Rengoku
- “Oh, I’m sorry.”
- Kyōjurō apologizes like he’s just walked into the wrong room and immediately steps right back out, politely sliding the door closed. He stands there for a good half minute, trying to process what he just saw.
- That was your room he just walked into, right?
- After double checking, he confirms that indeed, it is your room. Huh, either it’s haunted or he’s seeing things. Well, it has been an extremely long day for him. Maybe he’s more tired than he thought and really is just seeing things.
- Figuring that there’ll be nothing there when he looks again, he opens the door.
- Annnnnd, he comes face to face with a curtain of black hair, the flickering candle on the table casting an eerie glow in the background.
- A smile freezes on his face as his soul promptly evacuates his body.
- “….Kyōjurō?”
- You wave a hand in front of him and receive no response. It isn’t until you part your wig and reveal your face to get a proper look at him, that he snaps back into motion.
- “It was you, [Name]? I got startled for a moment there.”
- With a shaky laugh, a look of utter relief enters his eyes as he wraps his arms around you. At least he can rest assured now that your room isn’t haunted.
- Maybe he should suggest that you add more candles in your room.
---
Zenitsu Agatsuma
- He lets out the shrillest scream you’ve ever heard come out of him. Honestly, it’d be a miracle if his vocal chords still worked after this.
- “Zenitsu-“ You begin as you rise to your feet.
- Bad move.
- “GYAAAA, IT KNOWS MY NAAAAAAME!!!”
- May your eardrums rest in peace. Somehow, he gets even louder and before you can even blink, he's out cold on the floor.
- Of course, due to all the commotion he made, other residents of the Butterfly Mansion come flocking to your room in no time. You explain what happened and unsurprisingly, nobody is shocked, all but used to Zenitsu’s antics by now.
- Shinobu gets a great laugh out of the situation. Not only were you able to scare Giyū, but Zenitsu as well. An unexpected, but great bonus!
- After Zenitsu wakes up, he immediately begins clinging to you like a piece of gum stuck in your hair. No matter where you go, he’s right there with you. Even when you tell him – multiple times at that – that the ‘ghost’ he saw had simply been you dressed up as one, he refuses to let you out of his sight.
- Seeing how scary your ghost costume was must have traumatized him, as it took him an entire week to tentatively venture away from your side. And even then, he refused to walk through the mansion alone at night for the following couple of months.
- You made a note to never, ever dress up as a ghost again while within Zenitsu’s vicinity.
---
Tanjirō Kamado
- The two of you stare at each other for a moment.
- Well, it was more like Tanjirō stared at you while you did your best to squint past all the hair. Then, all of a sudden, he rushes over like a solicitor on a mission. He kneels down across the table from you, his back straight and hands clasped in his lap in a respectful manner.
- “Miss Ghost!” He begins in complete earnestness.
- ???
- Does Tanjirō really believe you’re a ghost right now??
- “I understand that to be here, you must have died with many regrets. But I must ask you to vacate this room! You see, this is my partner’s room and I don’t think they would be very happy sharing it with a spirit. I will be more than happy to help you move on! Please let me know if there’s anything I can do for you!”
- To finish off his mini speech, Tanjirō brings his hands together in a prayer and chants a short mantra.
- You’re not even sure where to begin. Should you be more surprised that he just said all that to someone whom he believed to be a ghost, or at the fact that he even knows Buddhist mantras?
- “Err… I appreciate you trying to make my room ghost free, but it’s just me.” You take off your wig, giving him a rather awkward smile.
- Tanjirō flushes and lets out a sheepish laugh, scratching the back of his head. “…Can we please forget this ever happened?”
- After getting over his initial embarrassment, however, he becomes fascinated by your costume and even asks you to perform a mini runway walk for him. Needless to say, the two of you had quite a fun night goofing off with your ghostly appearance.
