Whenever I see him my brain goes absolute bonkers. The twitter cat meme that goes arghhbkfmgkfk. It's not even a blorbo at this point, it's just a straight up hyperfixation.
Dressing up Thancred again. People joke that Heavensward Thancred's look resembles Papa Nier (itkind of does), so I just went ahead and made that a bit more on the nose
it is an often-repeated fact that alphinaud and alisaie are the youngest entrants to the studium ever at age 12, and like it's crazy that these infants got into harvard, but the narrative does not seem to remember/notice/care that thancred was an archon by 17 (he has the archon marks in the 1.0 ul'dah start flashbacks, where minfilia's 12 and he's 17). also he got picked up by louisoix as "an adolescent" so he had spent at most 7 years in sharlayan by the time he got his PhD in "espionage and survival". SHAKES HIM. WHAT DID THEY DO TO YOU LITTLE MAN. WHAT DID YOU GET UP TO IN SHARLAYAN SPY SCHOOL. DID THEY MAKE YOU A TOOL, BOY. DID THEY HONE YOU INTO THEIR SHARP OBJECT
