Why is nobody talking about the fact that Sadu and Cirina literally had a date on your island when you hit rank 12?
(Also Yay more traditional Au ra glam pieces as the quest reward!)

“Enough words, khatun” Ibakha said as she unsheathed her sword, “I do believe you owe me a dance.” “Ha!” Sadu laughed, “Come then, khagan! I would hate for you to be disappointed!” Sadu sent forth a flurry of fireballs towards Ibakha as she tried to close the gap between them, forcing her to retreat lest her shield be melted in the onslaught. “Your cat,” Sadu taunted, swapping to their native tongue, “She worries about the warrior of warriors. It is cute.” “She’s not mine,” Ibakha grunted as she dodged the next barrage aimed at her. “Then you’re hers. Truly, it makes no difference,” Sadu shrugged.

I’m trans. And that affects how I play and interact with XIV. 
I always hesitate to talk about my trans-ness, or trans characters, and I usually feel weird about it when I do, or that I’m somehow indulging in a way. I always feel like I never have anything important to say, or that I’m being a whiny entitled brat about it, or that no one cares. So I think I’ll try and talk a little about it.
I’ve seen some really good trans wols or adventurers, and it makes me really happy to witness, seeing more people Like Me out in the world. It’s not often that I feel lonely being trans, but it really does lift my heart to see others around and enjoying the world that love.
That being said, XIV fandom, and fandom as a whole, still isn’t that kind to trans “headcanons” about canon characters. Fandom’s been pretty okay about trans WoLs, though the erp’ers in the Quicksand have a serious problem with their transphobic ‘futa’ or ‘femboy’ shit. I don’t have Helisent’s gender in her search info, because I don’t want her to be called slurs in game while I’m just trying to do my damn roulettes. More often than not though, it’s the little comments here and there, or worse, the indifference. I can’t tell you how many times I’ve seen rare art or fic for trans xiv characters, only to have comments about how “that character is cis” or “is this a girl/boy version of x?” Those comments hurt, and those comments are transphobic. (Genderbends are their own post, but by and large they are transphobic as well.)
I say “headcanons” because there’s very little textual evidence that any particular character is cis. It’s just assumed to be that way, that cis is the default, and people thinking that a particular character is trans is a headcanon. Sometimes adding trans!(character) can be ... othering. I understand that sometimes people use those tags as a flagship, a way of saying “hey, it’s safe over here, come join us”, and I appreciate those. But sometimes it’s just exhausting to deal with the idea that cis is always the default, nevermind the fact that there’s sometimes mean comments about “but that character isn’t trans”. Damn it, we don’t really have evidence for one or the other a lot of the time, we only see that character’s gender presentation. 
And sure, you can say that that’s largely because XIV is built and developed around the idea that Eorzea operates on the gender binary -- it’s not exactly pushing the boundaries on gender, or made by openly trans or queer people. While I’m sure that there are trans or queer people that work on XIV, the goal of XIV isn’t to be “Eorzea trans adventure”. I get that. Most of the media I consume is made under the assumption that the fictional world is cis, and I’m not surprised that the characters therein are presumed to be cis. I understand the reasons why it is the way that it is. 
Fiction, and by and large fandom, is a transformative experience. The Devs for XIV have gone on record saying that they keep a lot of things ambiguous to let players have fun, especially in regards to shipping, or the timeline. That should, and does, extend to trans or cis headcanons about characters or how you interact with them. I’m not saying you have to go out and view particular characters as trans (though that would be nice), more ... be mindful of the fact that everyone experiences the game differently, and that cis isn’t the default setting, just a common one.
I guess I don’t really have a point here, just some thoughts that have been knocking around in my head, especially after seeing some unintentionally cruel and transphobic comments on friend’s art. So just... I dunno, be kind. Think critically about a trans “headcanon”, and what it might mean to someone, or how it might influence a character’s arc, or the way they interact with the world. Yeah, there’s some real bad fetishization out there with regards to trans headcanons, but that’s not really what I’m talking about here. Just keep an eye out, and look at things with an open mind.
Anyways, Ardbert’s trans. Lucia is too. So is Minfilia. Thancred is “I’m a man (I think???)”. Alphinaud is trans, and I have the most evidence for that one. 
Sadu’s canonically genderfluid -- her last three lives were male. Urianger is canonically gender non-conforming, and I’m willing to bet that he’s got some interesting ideas about gender. All the Ascians have the ability to mold and shape the flesh of their host, so in what world would they be cis? 
Just... think about it, I guess. I’m happy to talk about it if anyone’s curious.

Endwalker Launch Trailer Thoughts
Tumblr media
Spoilers for the launch trailer if you haven’t seen it yet. Careful!
1. Why is everyone on social media so excited that Emet-Selch is the narrator? I’ve seen a whole bunch of people suggesting that he’ll for sure be coming back because of this, but... He recorded an entire verbal record of Azem’s story into the constellation stone that WoL is now using. We already heard the first part of this narration in 5.3 during SoS. I feel like the promo material has made it pretty clear that Endwalker is a mirror narrative where WoL will real-time live through a second coming of the Final Days while learning about the events of the original Final Days through Emet-Selch’s recounting. Emet-Selch just so happens to be the narrator because he was the only Convocation member who believed Azem’s story was worth preserving. (Not that I wouldn’t LOVE to see him back though, of course...)
Tumblr media
1.5. Emet-Selch’s narration on beginnings and endings, love and loss, is a very strong allusion to Shakespeare (To the last syllable of recorded time;/ And all our yesterdays have lighted fools/ The way to dusty death. Out, out, brief candle!/ Life's but a walking shadow, a poor player,/ That struts and frets his hour upon the stage,/ And then is heard no more...)
2. Looks like we’re getting a classic hero’s journey--WoL is going to set off to stop the Final Days, “fail” like Azem did, die/enter the Underworld/Aetherial Sea, discover the “truth,” be reborn (probably via the power of the Echo), and then finally resolve the Hydaelyn-Zodiark conflict in the way that Azem was originally not able to do. Classic stuff, we love to see it.
Tumblr media
3. Is that Sadu Heavenflame in Garlemald? I know they deserve what they have coming, but do even Garleans deserve that?
Tumblr media
4. Also saw a boatload of people on social media saying the white flower the WoL is holding is an asphodel (presumably because Pandaemonium’s first tier is “Asphodelos”) but I feel like social media has probably never seen an actual asphodel flower in their life. Leaf and petal-wise, the white flower in the trailer looks closer to chrysanthemum japonense than asphodel... Maybe, maybe if you need some Persephone connection, you could stretch it and say the flower might be a really stylized Narcissus (daffodil) (modeled by someone who has never seen one before)? Asphodel flowers were sacred to Persephone, but the flower that was actually used to lure her to the gate of the Underworld was Narcissus, not asphodel.
4.5. The “bloom that guides and tests” its bearer calls to mind Kathasaritsagara; the flower that measures ones’ conviction is a recurring symbol in non-Western writing...
Tumblr media
5. The jagged shape of Hydaelyn resembles exactly the jagged look given to the “Gears of Change” patch art from a million years ago. Damn, what a tidy call back.
Tumblr media
6. Anima, Anima, Anima. Letsssss goooooo.
7. Mysterious childish/feminine voice. Don’t know who this is. This voice sounds really different in JP/GER. Someone in the comments suggested Krile? Or a new female character?
Tumblr media
8. Mysterious Garlean. My guess is Nerva, but honestly I wish it would be Noah, so we could get an actual end to the Bozja plotline instead of the bullshit field notes sum-up they gave us. (Long shot this might be Nero in new armor but I feel like that would imply a bigger plot twist than I’d expect with his character after committing himself to a life of irritating Cid until they die of old age together seeming to settle in to his defection at last in the 5.x patch cycle.)
Tumblr media
9. Ominous dark orbs in the background of the sky; the “threat from another world” or “threat from above” plot line continues to be linked back to at every turn. Also lots of emphases on the mouths of the monsters throughout this trailer--speech, voice, sound, all very important.
Tumblr media
10. Completely conflicted on Fandaniel’s line in the trailer. Many ways this could go--could this actually be an early reveal of the fact that he’s not a batshit crazy death seeker and that he really is trying to “save” the world? Or is this a fake out, and we’re hearing the voice of the pre-Sundered Fandaniel trying to originally save his world? I don’t think the clip of Fandaniel actually seamlessly fits into the book-ended clips of WoL here; things might have been spliced to trick us viewers. ALSO, the JP version of these lines sounds SIGNIFICANTLY more distressed and strained. (And the GER line sounds like... they should maybe have gotten German!Dango a better voice actor. XD) Jury is still out on Fandaniel’s actual goals and personality but this is definitely food for thought.
Tumblr media
11. All those masks, definitely a call back to Dying Gasp--they symbolize the weight of all the lives lost to the Final Days, the Amaurotines still waiting and deserving of resurrection. A heavy burden indeed.
12. The one who says “It will be ours again, a world free of sorrow” in English is not Emet-Selch, and I actually don’t think it’s Fandaniel or Elidibus. I can’t place the voice right now so hopefully someone else knows who it is, but I actually don’t think this line necessarily goes with the scene it is being played over. Feels deliberately misleading--my first assumption was that this was a new Ascian, but this could actually be just about anyone, since “a world without sorrow” would apply just as well to the current Hydaelyn (being ravaged by Final Days 2.0) as the pre-Sundered world.
Tumblr media
13. I feel like Alphinaud’s last lines might be a fakeout, trying to get us to assume the worst and fear for him. The lines are noticeably different in German. Most characters who get “death flags” waved that hard in trailers typically turn out okay (IIRC, Aymeric getting stabbed lol). I wondering if this might actually be a really big fakeout, and instead of Alphinaud actually saying these things, he might be reading them, such as from a letter left behind by the WoL, who will decide to go off to stop the Final Days just as Azem once did. And then line “Tomorrow’s never promised” may serve as a uniting line, shared by both Azem and WoL as explanation for their constant drive to be the one on the frontlines fighting to save the world... Not me over here imagining Azem leaving Hades off with this line to go on another grand adventure far from Amaurot, returning every time except for the one time that truly mattered...
14. The dialogue overall is noticeably different in the German version of the trailer compared to the ENG/JP. @_@ Might have to make a comparison for myself...
15. I fully respect the delay but god, LET ME IN LET ME IN LET ME IN--

I've been informed that this has more Estinien vibe than Haurchefant.
Is that the case? I think Haurchefant can be a little bad if he feels like it as well, but idk.

Ship that you used to have as an OTP: 💙 Ship that you can never see happening: 👎
Controversial Shipping Asks | Thank you!!
Ship that you used to have as an OTP: 💙
Aymeric x WoL, specifically Aymeric and M’ajah, my first WoL. I still kind of ship them? But it got superimposed by my current FFXIV universe and joined playthrough with my FC people where Aymeric is claimed by @thegolli‘s Layanna :D But I love him so damned much, so in an alternate universe, he’s still there. He was a definite spontaneous imprint from my side.
Ship that you can never see happening: 👎
Magnai x Sadu. I know there is a basic respect between them - they both admire strength and each other’s power and skills as warriors - but specifically Sadu is downright VISCIOUS towards him and just... no.
