[taps mic] wings are to black mages as tails are to genomes, they're just axolotls about it

#final fantasy ix #ffix #ffix black mages #not just because of the waltzes either; there are a lot of things i feel back it up! i'm hoping to write up a post going into it properly #but like. there's a lot of subtext that they are Birbous in both the xenobiology sense and the symbolic one #and that wings are associated with Having Their True Power/Individual Form Unlocked(tm)#again there's the waltzes but also vivi has wing decorations on his trance form--multiple sets of them no less #and if you look at most black mages as having been mass-produced to a template and undercooked it makes sense #they're mostly not too impeded by the lack of wings and i think most of them wouldn't be too bothered if i knew #but among other things it might explain how clumsy they are; more specifically how much they're inclined to trip over things #they're missing a counterbalance/way to catch themselves/fly #a lot of birds that are closest to the body shape we see can get around by walking but it's clumsier and not as efficient #and if it's a mobility thing it might have made their legs shorter too #idk i may revise that a bit because i'm out of it right now and i don't think they're *entirely* birb #but they deadass hatch out of eggs and instinctively adopt and know how to care for them #they don't just take bobby corwen's egg home because his mom was dead; most of them barely know what death is in the first place #and think that the mom 'stopped' and have said they think stopped people will eventually get right back up #but they immediately know the egg needs to be taken care of in a time-sensitive manner #and what it is and how to do so; to my memory they don't express panic or uncertainty about Doing It Wrong #anyway lots of thoughts about them but vivi's last name is literally french for ornithologist so Like. i am just saying #ffixtag #FF tag #black mage tag

one of these days i'll write up a post about the parallels and foils between vivi and hermes and why it fucking kills me. for now all i can say is in hindsight the 'latched onto vivi Hard as a kid' to 'latched onto hermes Hard as an adult' pipeline is Real

#ffix #ffxiv #vivi ornitier #ffxiv hermes #final fantasy xiv #final fantasy ix #the absolute fuckor #hermes really is just such an interesting and visceral deconstruction of/foil to vivi's themes #ranging from *vivi* being the one in the same role as the familiars here #in comparison to hermes meaning the best in the world and trying So Hard; but ultimately coming from a place of immense privilege #and the fact that he was fumbling around in the dark in a society that very aggressively tried to insulate him from any meaningful #perspective on the shitty things he had internalized about familiars without realizing it; much less knowledge to unpack it #and how in the end he still was shitty to and about familiars; including and especially his daughters; who he abused #and some of that stemmed at least partly from his own selfishness and the things he was in denial about #to the fact that vivi had *support* when it came to things like grief and fear and life being precious #and the importance of finding your own meaning in it; while at the same time treating unavoidable death with weight and respect #and people in his life being like 'yeah it's pretty fucking understandable to be fucked up about all this'#instead of at most condescendingly treating him like a freak and an outlier for like. fucking being sad or angry about things. lol #bc *vivi gets angry.* he doesn't just feel sad he gets fucking furious; he feels real ass hate; he wants people to die for what they've done #and when he *does* question that in himself it's not ~uwu if i hate people i'm just as bad as them~; it's 'i've repressed so hard that i #literally have forgotten how to identify what sadness feels like; and it bothers me that my grief response skips straight to hatred now'#i just. god i love vivi so much i could go on. anyway when someone tries to pull a 'familiar-equivalents are soulless puppets #with a single purpose and it's fine to kill them if they're defective or obsolete' vivi tries to explode him with his mind #and his friends go i'll help! and that's why i love ffix #ffixtag #ffxivtag #FF tag
