Meanwhile, Estinien:

Still chugging along with the FFXIV playing card deck - we're about a third of the way there!

If you have just a couple of bucks a month to spare and would like to see this deck made, please consider joining us on Patreon. And if you happen to have a few more dollars than that, prints of completed cards are available on the $20 tier. Literally nothing I do is possible without the fine folks over there, so please consider helping out if you can.

easy. the warriors body is being used as a vessel (womb) for all the excess light aether (jizz) in the first, which they are unaware will turn them into a lightwarden (bad sex education). they cannot stop this process once it's begun (gestation and social pressure to become a mother) though unbeknownst to them the crystal exarch plans to take the light into his own body (adoption) and leave (single parenthood).

emet-selch (the state) interferes in this process (destruction of social welfare systems). he wants to ensure his version of the future comes to pass (through mandatory reproductive labor) and cause another rejoining (reification of the nuclear family). the warrior must seek an alternative method of asserting their bodily autonomy (abortion) and blow a hole in the chest of the man who would try to choose for them (not a metaphor).

in other words,

Shadowbringers-brainrot

FF14 is the most self-indulgent thing for me rn so I came up with the most exaggerated, hydaelyn-like type of sin-eater for my WoL in my scetchbook and then I thought about the transformation-process of everything just bursting out, ripping the body apart. The scar of that first big seam remained.

And just, especially the WoL's body lying in front of Alphinaud and Alisaie. The game thus far bad built such strong bonds between them that even at the end, feeling themself dying from Black Rose, they still do their best to save them...
