š: Favourite video game? (Other than Final Fantasy!)
Iām going to guess thatās a game other than FFXIV.
Because I canāt answer anything but FFIV (FFII SNES). Though Iād played FF1 on the NES, it wasnāt until FFIV came out that I really fell in love with JRPGs. Keep in mind, they were new to the US audience at the time, so I was really blown away experiencing my firstĀ āvideo game with a story.āĀ
So it was my first āfandomā (before the Internet was a thing), and I wrote fanfiction (before I even knew there was a term for it) that I still maintain online today. In fact, I still create a webcomic based around an AU that my best friend (Scylla) and I develop together!Ā

⢠- BIOHAZARD - the most dangerous thing about them to others
Beware an Ehn who honestly feels heās at the end of his rope and is going to die. he will pull out the stops, he will not show restraint, he will fight until either whateverās threatening him is put down or he canāt fight anymore. And my friends, there is a reason he did not take the Scholar path in his arcanist studies.
A small package can be found by the door, wrapped in a pastel purple wrapping paper. Attached is a small envelope sealed with lavender embedded in wax, addressed to Shiun and Y'aromirr. The letter reads, āTo the precious fatherās to be, I hope this letter finds you well. Weāre so excited to hear about the upcoming bundle of joy.
(cont.)Ā I know things must be difficult currently so I sent you some goodies that I hope will lift the spirits, as well as a gift for the little one! Take care of yourself and get plenty of rest. - Jade. p.s. Velariās wishing you well also!ā Inside the package, there is a crochet sunflower baby blanket, along with an assortment of goodies for the parents, including a wheat pack, lavender aromatherapy oil, Divine Comfort tea blend and an assortment of pastries.
Surely enough, as Yāaromirr finished reading the letter aloud to his husband, he glanced up to see Shiun sorting through the aforementionedĀ āgoodiesā. Well, most of them - Yāaro could all to easily recognize his husbandāsĀ āI donāt have anything in my mouthā face, and could assume Shiun had already taken his portion of whatever sweets were included as he listened. Good... Shiun didnāt have much to indulge in since selflessly swearing off drinking with him, and it was nice to see him get at least some kind of treat. He deserved to be the one cooked for more often..
āHere...ā The Seeker beckoned, then quickly swapped arm-loads with his husband. As Shiun adjusted his glasses into position to take a read for himself, Yāaro nudged the broad side of his nose to the Raenās shoulder lovingly as he passed by him, and Shiun made certain to nudge back with his horn. With his arms full of gifts to sort in the cellar and his thoughts full of thanks and adoration for his friends, Yāaromirr practically skipped into the basement as if propelled by his swirl-coated tailās swings. Thankfully only one person was home to observe him as he had to double back for his pen set was one who was a touch too smitten with him to tell anyone else about the embarrassing blunder...
With the majority of the contents of Jadeās parcel quickly tucked into their respectiveĀ āspotsā, Yāaromirr plopped himself in the center of the seat in front of the fireplace, and began to write -
āJade! I was overjoyed to see your package arrive this afternoon and simply couldnāt wait to properly thank you - not that a letter exactly counts as proper, but just you wait until Iām free to incorporate Velariās lovely little cafe along my morning jogging path. I can only assume you are there most mornings helping your beloved prepare for the day?
You are sweet to be concerned for us (myself in particular) as the birth of our child approaches, but Iām happy to assure you things are going nearly surprisingly well! I suppose it helped that I took to getting things prepared so early, but what can I say? I was simply too excited to postpone preparations when even then possibility of having a baby was present. The final touches to the nursery were put in when our dear sprout was only three months along, and now all that we seem to be adding is gifts to the shelves for little hands that are not quite yet here to hold them. So spoiled already! I can only hope she will come to love this blanket as I have instantly upon seeing it - You mustāve worked hard on it, and that pattern... Well, I believe you knew what you were doing. Such a warm flower is sure to impart itās hope and the love youāve woven into it with every swaddling it sees. Letās ensure she meets the person who made such a lovely gift before itās too lovingly worn, alright? Surely I will be out of the delicious tea by then... after all, it will be after tomorrow, yes?ā
Reminded, Yāaromirr paused in his writing to take a sip of his tea, cooled exactly to his preferenceĀ at last. The blend Jade had included in the bundle of goods was delicious, but more than that, itās herbal warmth felt as if it melted itās way through rough blockadesĀ of stress and tension in his body. The comfort of a heartfelt gift from a friend... and in a time where his body was in need of extra care he was most certainly not giving it. A hearty purr sat in the base of Yāaroās throat as he picked up his pen to continue,
āIām also happy to report Shiun approved of the pastries youād included nearly instantly, with his stomach - Hopefully it isnāt bold of me to presume to thank Velari in particular for those. Perhaps when he isnāt overworked by my doubled appetite he can manage to bake a batch of his ginger snaps for you two; Theyāre inarguably my favorite of his! The rest of your gifts will not be so quickly consumed, but I can absolutely assure you they are and will be enjoyed for some time to come still. May I assume it was your skill that rendered this lavender to such a state? So handy! And such a calming scent can nearly promise my well-restedness in weeks to come.Ā
I must truly thank both you and Velari from the bottom of my heart for such an unexpected and sweet surprise - You mentioned how you hoped it would lift my spirits, and I can promise you Iām beaming now and will be for bells for come. Days even. Every sniff of lavender and glimpse of your blanket of the cribās edge will send me into an ear-to-ear grin thatās certain to set Shiun off to much the same. Now, if only my returned post could manage even half of the same help for you and yours...
With love,
Aromirr and Shiun ā
Satisfied with his written reply, Yāaromirr took a slow look over the mantel at his recent handiwork with a calm smile... thinking... carefullyĀ selecting... until his rough palm gathered up a simple resting bird figurine heād whittled - Made of rosewood, freshly oiled, and pleasantlyĀ fragrant. Perhaps the pair could make use of it around the shop somehow.. but, at least it showed he was thankful. Yāaro tied the letter to the top of a rose pink wrapped box, carefully stuffed with his carving and an adequate amount of black lavender tea in cheesecloth to serve as packing materiel for now and a further gift for Jade and Velari after itās arrival.Ā
28. How long would you wait for the one you love? A year? Fifteen years? Forever? Could you honestly be loyal to an unfulfilled love?
Yāaromirr smiled in a utterly gentle way over the subject as he bobbed his head along, eye cast aside, thinking over the best possible way to phrase himself - RomanceĀ was always something he could not bear stumble over his words on.
āI waited v-very many years to find a person who called out to my heart in a w-way I trusted, and f-for most of them... I considered myself to be incapable of b-being seen as a lover to someone. A partner... companion.. a-any term, I knew people would meet me and see...ā He paused... then exhaled the lastĀ as his posture deflated,Ā ā.. Well, me. A-and that didnāt improve after my untimely retirement..ā
Futzing with his forelock in one hand as his elbow rested in the other, Yāaromirr managed back his usual sunny smile to continue.
āS-since I met Shiun... and, well, m-most importantly since weāve become husbands... I would wait for seven thousand summers before kn-knowing one sunrise with him, for it would be th-the most beautiful moment of my life. W-were we not yet partnered, I... kn-knowing how I feel now, Iād stand by him until the seas and sky were no more for n-nothing more than his friendship. I adore him, e-every piece.. And I d-donāt honestly think I could lose interest or love for him even if I were told to at th-the end of a blade..ā
((Oh oops that was mushy. Thanks @velarishiku !!))
Miahtoux ran his finger down the page of his notebook. It was filled with his own narrow, angular handwriting... filled with diagrams and figures and tables of numbers... Aether levels... crystal sizes... aether frequencies... length of time of projection... countless observations meticulously recorded and laid out so that he could reference it.
Eventually he found the part of the table he was looking for, taking a moment to memorise the figures and refer to the mounds of books around him for the volume he needed. He really should have located it before now... it would have saved time.... but who ever said he was efficient? Accurate perhaps... but far from efficient. This was how it always was though, books... notes... books again... more notes... looking for the tiniest little detail to prove his theories... his new magic... his new method... maybe one day he'd make significant enough headway for this spell to work...
He leant back in his chair, doubt suddenly filling the silence of the room... What if all this was pointless? What if it would never work and he'd never succeed? "What's the matter? Don't think you're good enough? Don't think you're worthy? Rest assured... my dear Miathoux... I feel the same."Miahtoux lifted shaking hands to his ears. Elbows resting on the table... why was that even here... even in the midst of his beloved research... he couldn't escape.

ā(ļ¼`ļ½,)ā : What discombobulates your muse?
Iād say higher levels of mathematics most likely discombobulate her a bit, as itās something she never learned very well and beyond basic skills, and what she needs to use within her alchemy, she has no need for a lot of it?Ā
Iām sure thereās some other things, but thereās not coming to me after just waking up.Ā
