18+ account. Mostly lurking. My Warrior of Light is Claude Dubois!

i hate how much people care about their ships being "canon" now. spirk fans didn't publish zines full of fanfics in the 70s only for modern fandom to grovel at the knees of corporations and beg for things to be canon. use your imaginations, don't allow billionaires to think for you.

Higher and Higher Testing some things out in my sketchbook. Based on the trees along northern California pasture and the striking memory of egrets in a empty blue sky. Also that very last shot in Cowboy Bebop, goddamn.

From bottom to top: a field, a line of trees silhouetted against distant hills, then the blue sky which dominates the composition: white at the horizon and gradually becoming dark indigo at the zenith, and in the center a large, white dragon-like creature with wings like an albatross flies into the distance.

Zenos punched Claude so hard it split his cheek open and damaged his eyes such that he now has to wear glasses. Still, in way he's glad the scar will persist.

My Warrior of Light, Claude Dubois, wiping sweat from his brow. He is a wildwood elezen (elf) man with freckles and red brown hair tied back in a messy ponytail, loose strands falling into his face. He wears a black tank top, gloves, a necklace with a turquiose point, and simple round glasses. His left cheek has a scar that runs from beneath his eye to under his ear. In the background are some crates and a lamp in Tertium, Garlemald.Zoomed out view of previous. In this gpose his black and gold gun is visible, holstered on his back.

Someone's post got me curious so, #wolqotd : What is your WoL/OC's face lore? That scar, or that bruise, or that tattoo. The pair of odd eyes, or those unique pupils. That missing tooth, that missing eye or even just specific makeup. Anything you would consider "face lore". Give me the goods! 📝

Like, y'all, I cannot emphasize enough how often I'll think about Zenos getting to live a full life, growing old with my WoL, Claude, and it makes me dizzy. I just want a modicum of grace and kindness for this man.

And day to day, life's a hard job, you get tired, you lose the pattern. You need distance, interval. The way to see how beautiful the earth is, is to see it as the moon. The way to see how beautiful life is, is from the vantage point of death.

... I really gotta start posting the posts I draft instead of jotting them down and forgetting about them. I've had some really weird synchronicity things happen in the last few months re: FFXIV related topics.

me: I need to write a fix-it fic where my WoL goes and gets Zenos and helps him see that life is worth living also me: life is not worth living So I don't have writer's block per-se but do you see the issue? (P.S.: Evercold is making life a Little worth living, but girl, it has been a Rough Year)

i'm so frustrated with any narrative that treats the founder of a violent system to be more sympathetic than the violent product of said system and then have it go completely unexamined by the other characters, the writers, or the fanbase
