11. Is there any OC of yours you could describe as a “sunshine”?

tarene dosa (sw) and haharo haro (ffxiv) are my beautiful sunshine children

23. Introduce OC that has changed from your first idea concerning what the character would be like?

jonthan wander (wolves and woods). from glorified babysitter bc the child deuteragonists needed adult supervision to arguably the main protagonist and also my favoritest guy. he was just some guy and now he's just some guy who's also a werewolf and spent his adolescence in the "care" of the villain. i have a hard time drawing him bc he's supposed to be exceptionally plain looking but i make everyone i draw so generically attractive :')

he's so tired........... just like me fr

30. Which one of your OCs would most likely have a secret stuffed animal collection?

..... i kinda wanna say drifoor (sw) just 'cause it'd be funny

naoh'a and haharo enjoy a quiet moment at the banquet

Zion.T’s dad in an Illionaire snapback

LLOLOLOLOL HIS FACIAL EXPRESSION

four songs is enough to share a character playlist as a wip right?

w/e, woe limsa trio be upon you.

naoh'a haharo laughing hare

finished up the hw warrior quests on haharo today. the lvl54 quest requires you to go to tailfeather but everything else sends you to arr areas.

anyway, when gorge tells you to slap the fear out of him, haharo squints up at him thoughtfully for a long moment. “all right,” she says, then turns on her heel and starts walking away.

“wh-- where are you going?”

“hare’s not here to throw me,” she answers from halfway up the walkway to a higher level. “just stay there.”

he can only nod.

a few moments later comes a rapid splishsplashsplishsplash from above and then she’s descending directly at him. to his credit, he doesn’t quail, and her hand connects with the side of his face with enough force to cause a shockwave. he spins and bounces off the ground.

(she wasn’t sure how big the fear was)

teehee

oh man i was wondering if/how littol dragon would perch on her. best thing is he’ll stay like that even as i’m running around. still no luck trying to get the last piece of the demon fending set but this is delightful.

quick n messy fic in honor of getting kuzhuk to heavensward, just to get the ideas out of my head. spoilers for the end of arr patch content.

---------------------------------------------------

Kuzhuk takes Minfilia's hand and pulls her along. Yda and Papalymo can take care of themselves, and Thancred is right. They cannot linger. SHE cannot linger. There are yet too many of them -- now less a pugilist and thaumaturge -- for ease. He has to get them out of here.

-------

He hasn't let go of her hand, and when Y'shtola and Thancred stay behind he once again has to leverage the contact. They, too, can take care of themselves. He pulls her away from her friends once again. With her other hand holding the lamp, she cannot stifle a sob. On'danya offers muttered comfort as they flee farther into the tunnels.

---------

It was scarcely a full minute later when Minfilia stopped so suddenly her hand slipped from his. She exclaims. Says that he and the others must go on while she goes back. "No!" he snaps. Cillien catches his arm as he steps toward her. "No. We can't just leave you."    "You must," she replies with that dutiful firmness of confidence and composure he'd long suspected was a mask like his own. "You are the Warriors of Light. As long as you remain, there is yet hope."     He shakes his head. "I won't leave you."     On'danya takes his other arm. "We don't have time to argue. Hydaelyn's called her; it'll be fine."     "Kuzhuk," Minfilia says, stepping toward him. "My stalwart hero."     Cillien and On'danya release his arms and withdraw a short ways off with the rest of the party.     "I'm sending you out again. You have more than me to worry about. And I don't know when or where you'll return but--"     He hugs her. It seems and eternity and a moment. "Be safe," he utters. "Be safe. For me."     "I-- I will."     He pulls away and there is a fog in his eyes. It takes everything in him to turn and leave her. The sound of her running back the way they'd come makes his stomach churn. "Let's go," he signs in the near-darkness.

(While this all happened, Dagasi looked on with a fierce frown. There'd been no sign of Alphinaud since he'd excused himself on Crystal Brave business, and now the last of their local friends was abandoning them. Had Alphinaud been in on the coup? Or had he not, and been killed for it? Captured? Haharo leaned suddenly into her view, interrupting her thoughts. "I'm sure he's fine," the lalafell said. "He's a clever lad.")

------------

They emerge from the ruins in silence, and make their way up the trail to the main road. There's movement up the way and Haharo is quick to draw her axe, setting herself in front of the party. Two smaller figures, one taller and slender, one shorter and stout. Dagasi gasps and passes her at a full sprint, flinging her arms around the taller one's neck, nearly toppling him with the force of her embrace. It’s Alphinaud. Haharo releases the breath she'd been holding and smiles. That's one friend recovered. Though still no sign of Hare. Please, she prays, please let her be all right.

haharo when she first came to limsa, determined to make it as an adventurer at any cost (except being mean)

finally. finally. finaLLY..

now i can finish arr patch content

man... the tribunal scene is one part where having a full party of ocs makes it tricky. i feel like it’s gotta be haharo who serves as tataru’s stand-in -- her patron is halone and she’s a fellow lala (funny as it is to have tataru championed by someone 3-5 times her size...) -- but that means i need to figure out a reason that it can’t be dagasi bc hoo boy is she ready to break everything over alphinaud being accused.

abusing tank privileges to get ridiculously overleveled and doing all the job quests so she already has the lvl50 artifact armor despite being around lvl35 in the msq. admittedly not the best plan bc i now have abilities i will forget to use. but. she looks great.

(and it’s fine cuz she’s gonna swap to ast for heavensward)

lying facedown on the floor feeling emotions about haharo and hare to the tune of you told the drunks i knew karate by zoey van goey
