Day 7: I Love You for #WoLGrahaWeek2025 (and today, #grahatiaday!)

I did it, I finished Take Me Lost, Make Me Found! Enjoy not one but TWO final chapters for G'raha and his Warrior 💕

Read Chapter 8 and 9 here: archiveofourown.org/works/619446...

[ #ffxivfic #shbspoilers #wolgraha #arkinwriting ]
“Why me?” G’raha whispers, though perhaps he begins to see the shape of the answer. Arkin smiles, his hand grazing G’raha’s shoulder, trying once again to heal the hurt there. This time, G’raha focuses on relaxing. “I could ask you the same thing. I saw you, you know. In an Echo. You spoke of giving up your life for mine. And not only your life, but your precious time spent living. Why me? I wondered. Because I’m the Warrior of Light and Darkness? A tool worth saving at any cost?” G’raha is already shaking his head, but he stills when Arkin thumbs over the shard of crystal in his cheek, wiping the tears there. “Will you tell me?” his Warrior asks, so close their breath mingles. G’raha’s heart hammers in his chest, and he can feel its mirror all the way in Arkin’s fingertips. They find one another’s gaze, dizzy and almost overwhelming in their shared intensity. It was a truth G’raha had hardly let himself consider, even within the confines of his Tower, his hood and robe shed in the solitude of the small hours. He pauses, unsure of how to give voice to it. “It was the memory of you at first,” he begins slowly, “of our short time together. Those memories warmed me when little else could. And then, as the years passed… it was the myth of you. From what few scraps I had gathered before I arrived on the First.” The words come faster now, tumbling out of him. “Accounts spoke of your strength, aye, but even more of your boundless kindness, and I pinned my hopes on meeting that man once more before my end. But from the moment you let me into your room that night… the way you opened your heart for me, I—” The admission bubbles up, spills over. “‘Twas because I fell in love with you, over and over and over.”

leveled up with this explanation, cos as an autistic person i pride myself on reacting appropriately to animals, to signal harmlessness, so why wouldn't i want to do this for human animals?

never occurred to me to stop listening to the words and instead recognise the BEHAVIOUR.
homoquartz Follow i've warmed up significantly towards the concept of small talk ever since i learned that its sole purpose is to make friendly noises. as long as you smile and nod, people are satisfied. it's just to show that you are nice and there with good intentions. we're small in a big world and have to rely on other people to be decent to us. so we do our little human dance to each other to say, "i'm not here to hurt you. here's something we have in common, like the weather or sports or itchy sweaters, so we both know we're on the same team. we both agree on a basic fact, like that it is rainy or that being itchy is uncomfortable, and this proves we can get along. i'm being light-hearted and non-threatening right now." small talk isn't to get to know a person. it's just a greeting to affirm you're buddies in the universe. i am motivated by wanting the other person to know i am friendly, so i have gotten pretty decent at small talk when i used to hate it. the owl shit When I was a kid and would go hiking with my dad and sibling on vacation, every time we would pass another group, my dad would do the smile and nod and "hey". And then after we'd turned a corner, he would say more quietly, "I must make friendly social noises so they do not eat my young" and my sib and I would crack up laughing. Gotta remember that we're mammals under it all.

you will also betray your art
you'll think it's shite
you'll hate it for some reason

but know, that somehow somewhere, someone's heart leaps with joy because of it

and then someday, that someone will be you too

Throwback to something worth repeating.
A screenshot of a tweet that says: Your art will betray you. It will look better in your head than on paper. It will make you feel untalented some days. Love it anyway. Because one day, it will also surprise you, fulfill you, and remind you why you started.

#Febhyurary2026 05 - Music

Young Minfilia was haunted by the memory of the day she lost her father, every time she passed the site of the accident. Thancred may not know the cure, but he carries a temporary balm, with a certain flavor of her homeland.

#FFXIV #WoLcomics #hyur #Febhyurary
[ Ul'dah — Emerald Avenue ] Thancred Waters accompanies a young Minfilia Warde down Emerald Avenue, near the place where a runaway goobbue caused the death of her father, Warburton. Minfilia gasps, stops, then looks down at the ground, crossing her arms defensively about herself. Thancred turns toward her, a look of protective concern across his face. He reaches out a comforting hand and offers, "Come, we can turn down Ruby Road and go through the—" Minfilia, though still unable to look up, frowns and interrupts in protest. "No," she snarls, more at herself than at Thancred. "This is absurd. I should bloody well be able to walk down any street I choose. I but need... encouragement." She looks up at Thancred plaintively, and he smiles and produces a lute. After a moment's consideration, he improvises: ♫ O come ye wayward daughter, ♫ Bereft of hearth and home, ♫ Beneath yon gilded gate there lies ♫ A market for the bold. It is a rewording of the anthem of Ala Mhigo, Minfilia's homeland. Minfilia, comforted and perhaps even amused by the gesture, smiles tearfully up at him, and appears ready to continue. They resume walking toward the gate to Sapphire Avenue, as Thancred improvises a second verse: ♫ Raise up your heads and voices, ♫ Let fill your hearts with pride, ♫ Upon the dusty cobbles we ♫ Stand strong and unified.

Day 4 - Festival

"Happy New Year, my lord."

"And to you, citizen."

As twice before, the reply he gave was automatic. But then he paused, looked up... and gasped.

There he was. Alive, awake, and smiling at him as he used to do.

Hien felt his eyes begin to sting.

#febhyurary | #kaleidpose
A cinematic shot of Hien and Ifan in the Doman Enclave. Hien has his face screwed up on the verge of tears as he runs forward to pull Ifan into an embrace while Ifan seems a little taken aback by this sudden and public display of affection. The fact Ifan is wearing his Shadowbringers era outfit indicates this is the first time the pair have seen each other since the duel with Elidibus at the end of Stormblood, and Hien is overjoyed that Ifan has finally recovered from his near-fatal injury. The caption is in Han characters and is a couplet from 'Hearing that Imperial Forces Have Retaken Henan and Hebei' by Tang-era poet Du Fu, written in 763 during the An Lushan Rebellion. 白日放歌须纵酒，青春作伴好还乡 "In broad daylight I burst into song and must drink freely; with youthful spirits as my companion, how joyful it is to return home."

#gravy_art #ocsky
Gravy lays back, prone, on a pool table, casting a sideways glance at the viewer, offering a shy smile, mid chuckle. He wears a red playboy bunny suit, its material glossy and reflecting the light around it. Above him is a large masculine figure, leaning over him to aim the tip of their pool cue at one of the balls in the corner of the frame. A cube of pool cue chalk is overturned over Gravy’s head. Blue chalk is on the figure’s fingers, as well as spattered on Gravy’s cheek, bunny suit, and on his fishnet stockings. The composition is so that the viewer is standing on the opposite side of the pool table, and Gravy is upside down from their perspective.

They’re used to moons apart in different shards, which means they don’t like to waste a second more once they’re finally together 😌

[ #gpose | #hyur | #elliescreens ]
Inside their shared apartment, Yahsre and Elanor stand at the entrance, tired and worn down from work. The following scene shows Yahsre pressing Elanor to the wall in a deep, sudden kiss. Elanor suddenly reverses their positions, shoving Yahsre back against the wall instead as the kissing grows rougher, her attention fixed on his neck. They whisper about how much they missed each other between breaths. In the last scene, they slide down to the floor together, one set of hands intertwined and the other... Well that's none of our business.
