hello

Meryta Khatin and Tansui by @sunshinemage

Thank you Rory for this gorgeous, stunning piece. I'm on the floor over this, the warmth and happiness - just look at them! The light, the tree! I love it so much, it's perfect!

In game, Tansui got himself some new boots. It's not worth a whole new screenshot pic, so I just made a quick doodle of 'em being happy about having actual solid footwear for once.

my spread for a roam reborn travel zine project!

Tansui is gonna fish my ass out of a riptide. Calling it now. He’s got too much personality to be just a cameo.

Another Character Bingo Ask.

Tansui

Thanks for the ask! :D

Honestly a lot of the Doma side of Stormblod is a blur for me. I don't remember much of Tansui! I was chomping at the bit to get to Shadowbringers, and I paid more attention to the Ala Mhigo side because my partner's WoL, A'mahl Tia, is from there and it gave him a lot of good background lore.

I don't dislike Tansui, though, and I'd be curious to see him show up again in the future in the XIV story or in people's fics!

Ask me about characters!

XIV Rarepair Week Day 5: Promise

The promise between them as Confederates is freedom, the open seas. Offer of a life away from it all. Yet they might as well be chained together, a decision to never be free of the other. Tansui and Rasho wouldn't have it any other way.

Alternate shot and details under the cut!

Since I ran into them in Stormblood, I loved these two. And not only my bias to an important mroe NPC. They're so dedicated to each other and handle their freedom and history so well, dealing with their past with Doma and managing the other Confederates. They are just so absolutely dedicated to each other so I absolutely loved them.

Come Hell or High Water

Tansui had yet to cease his pacing, and it ever so slowly grated on Rasho’s nerves. True that his stress was warranted—storms had been sidelining their ships, the new Viceroy have been threatening their peace and their wilful ward had departed to parts unknown. Rasho hoped that an offering of sake would be enough to set the Hyur's mind at ease tonight.

"Tch, I've one less bottle of sake and my mind still won't stop thinking." Now it was Rasho's turn to chuckle. When Tansui got deep in his cups he was terribly adorable, a secret that he guarded with his life.

"Well, I have another one on the bureau if you're so inclined." He pointed with the butt of his brush, before returning to his counting. He was nearly at the end, finally. Just a few more calculations and he could—

A leg stepped over his arm, followed by another, and finally a Hyur dropped into his lap, sake in one hand and a cup in the other. The figure wiggled until he found the perfect place to sit, right in front of Rasho's crotch.

"Tansui…" Rasho cautioned. His partner paid him no mind, instead pouring a cup and raising it above his shoulder for Rasho to drink. The Roe eyed the proffered cup warily, but eventually took a sip, noting the grin that graced Tansui's lips. "If you'd wait a few more minutes, I would be done with this ledger."

"Whatever happened to 'the rest can wait until the storm's passed'?"

"I'd rather finish this quickly rather than leave it for the morrow—"

"I think you should help me scrub my brain instead.” Tansui tilted his face around, giving Rasho a challenging look.

6, 12, 16 for the fandom asks?

Thanks, Meredith! 💖 6 & 16 are here. 12. Compliment someone else in your fandom.

I'm still pretty new to ffxiv fandom tbh (I migrated from a 10-year-old blog and started fresh last year, so I've been slowly building things up over time), but there's so many lovely folks here! 🥺💕

@thevikingwoman - We've been friends for literal years from Dragon Age fandom. Viking's an enthusiastic supporter of all things writing, she's an incredible cheer-leader for fandom things and creations. Also rarepairs! She has so much love for rarepairs and minor characters, and bringing her own spin on things. I am eating her Tansui x Meryta headcanons for breakfast. @tsunael - So kind and such a sweetheart. Their gposes are enchanting and ethereal, and I'm always so blown away by the composition. I love Tsuna with all my heart, and I'm excited to learn more about her. Also shout-out to a fellow Wolcred shipper! 💕 @ievaxol - She's written some of my absolute favourite FFXIV fics! Her writing is so engaging, with an incredible sense of character, rhythm and pace. They're a joy to read, and I've had so much fun with them. love your fandom asks 💕

Stormblood - 33/?

Tansui by @harumeau

Thank you so much @harumeau for this sketch page! I love all of these SO much - the expressions, his hair styles. The happy middle one! The halfup hair and sly experssion in the lower left. Nose profile! I am constantly staring at this, and I love to have more Tansui art around.

To Tansui: “It looks like your genes are afraid of heights!”

At first, there was a blink. And then, there was a pout. And then, a tiny irritated growl of an Au'Ra who was well aware of their less than stellar height. STILL!

Those were some mighty words from someone within fire-spell distance!

tansui and rasho are uuuhhh married

@bubblelizards

... harassing some pirates at Onokoro. Not even slightly ashamed of it. 10/10, would do again.
