In theory, there’s still more I could do, though. Darker hair/eyes for example… but at that point, would she still read as Lyse to people running across my gposes out of context? Or does she now look like an OC?
A screenshot from the end of Stormblood, where Lyse is leading the characters to sing the Ala Mhigan national anthem. However, in this shot, Lyse has been modded to not only change her skin color, but to give her dark brown hair and eyes. She is still wearing Yda's red dress.

As for why this specific look?

Honestly? It’s because when I first got my hands on NPC-altering mods, “hey what if I give Lyse her dad’s skin tone” was one of the first things I tried just to test the mod out.
A screenshot of when Lyse tries on her initial Stormblood outfit made by Tataru - once again modded via Glamourer such that Lyse has blonde hair, blue eyes, and brown skin. Lyse's dialog box says: "Heh heh heh… What do you think?"

We never get lines about Lyse’s appearance being unusual or her trying to navigate that distinction - again, instead we get plenty of lines to the contrary, that affirm that she’s meant to visually remind people of her father.
A screenshot from the Stormblood quest "The Prodigal Daughter," where Lyse first returns to Ala Gannha and Raganfrid recognizes her. Raganfrid's dialog box says: "Wait... I know those eyes. You're one of Curtis's girls!"

...rather than the story of a refugee who fled her homeland as a child who struggles but ultimately succeeds at reconnecting with her heritage as an adult.
Lyse being challenged by a cynical youth (Wiscar) in Ala Gannha during the quest "A Life More Ordinary." The youth has a dialog box which says: "And you─don't you dare speak like you're one of us. You can't even begin to understand what we've been through. You weren't here, Lyse! You weren't here!" Lyse talking to the player during the quest "Above the Churning Waters," much later in the expansion. Her dialog box says: "I can be me...and that'll just have to be enough, eh?"

There’s just one problem with that justification, for Lyse specifically…

It’s that her father looks like this!
Another Stormblood screenshot, this one of Raubahn's flashback where he met Curtis, Lyse's father, in the quest "Liberty or Death." Curtis is depicted as a blond-haired and brown-skinned man with a scarred face and a determined expression. His dialog box says: "Liberty or death. Liberty or death! If this be your creed, then raise up your hands! Raise up your voices! Together we will tear Theodoric from the throne! Together we will reclaim our freedom!"

I often judge characters more by their written personality than their visuals (see also: the missing pants on Fordola’s Skulls uniform, which I may change too). And the game’s writing repeatedly underlines that Lyse is meant to look like an Ala Mhigan Highlander, shhh please ignore her actual model.
A screenshot from my Fordola alt playing through Stormblood. This is one of the early quests of the expansion ("A Haven for the Bold"), when Lyse is giving a tour of Rhalgr's Reach. Lyse has a dialog box which says: "I bet you think the Resistance is mostly made up of Ala Mhigan Highlanders like me, but the truth is that we don't even account for half."

Let’s talk about WoL!Fordola AU Lyse!

More specifically, I think it's time I explained why Lyse has brown skin in this AU.

#ffxiv #lyse #lysehext #stormblood #fanfic
A screenshot of Lyse and Fordola standing outside the Crystarium from my WoL!Fordola AU. Lyse is wearing her early Stormblood outfit, and has blonde hair, blue eyes, and distinctly brown skin rather than her normal pale shade. Fordola is her canon self, though she's wearing the Gunbreaker glam I used for her during Shadowbringers.

Falling through memory, hand in hand (Fordola/Lyse)

After Elidibus’s starshower on the First grants Lyse the Echo, Fordola starts behaving strangely around her.

archiveofourown.org/works/73310956

#ffxiv #ffxivwrite #ffxivwrite2024 #fanfic #gpose #fordola #lyse #fordolyse
Lyse places her hand over her heart as she stares up at the illusion of turbulent scarlet clouds and falling meteors that Elidibus conjures outside the Crystarium during 5.2. Lyse awakens from her nightmarish Echo visions to find herself lying safe and sound on the bed in the Pendants. Fordola is sitting by her side, gently holding one of Lyse's hands in her own to ground her.

But then a local shepherd, a gentle man who only knows the rough but quiet life of tending sheep with his younger brother, offers to lend this fancy city boy a hand… 😉
Aymeric looks up at Estinien, who kneels down and holds his hand out while bathed in warm sunlight finally shining through the clouds. Even in AU form, he's as dramatic as always :3

The one thing Aymeric just can't get the hang of is taking care of the farm's animals. His skill on the dance floor won't help him here!
As Aymeric tends to a herd of sheep in a grassy pasture, a mischievous Yan runs up and headbutts him, sending him tumbling to the ground! So much for keeping Aymeric's nice shirt clean…

Adjusting to life in Ferndale is tough going at first, especially since the town's community center was destroyed in the Calamity. Luckily the local nature spirits seem to take a liking to him!
Aymeric frowns, lost in thought as he takes in the piles of broken furniture left in the community center. A cluster of curious moogles surround him, intrigued by this newcomer to the village.

In this universe, history goes a bit differently. Aymeric gets fed up with the cutthroat gossip and politics of the High Houses and moves out with his old kitty to his grandfather's farm…

(Presumably his maternal grandfather, that is. I've always assumed his mother was a commoner.)
Aymeric and To-the (-seven-hells-with-you) (his cat in Cass's fics) standing in front of a snowy, run down farm. Tree stumps and rocks litter the field, but Aymeric smiles, welcoming a straightforward challenge compared to his old life.

More pictures! I used Alice's FC apartment to build out both the Ruins flower field and the New Home bedroom as backdrops for this project. :)
A recreation of part of the opening scene of Undertale: "Chara" lying face-down in a field of flowers, having fallen down a cave to the Underground. The screenshot has been edited to give it a warm sepia tone like the pixel art it's meant to evoke. "Chara" snacking on a chocolate heart in a recreation of Chara and Asriel's bedroom in New Home, complete with a picture of a golden flower hanging on the wall and a present box on the floor behind them. "Chara" lurking in the magenta-hued Ruins. Above them, light shines down through a hole in the cave ceiling, with roots and vines twining around it. (Unlike the first two, this screenshot is actually taken in the Skydeep Cenote, which felt rather fitting to use for a location for Chara's grave…)

I got really inspired by the Undertale 10th Anniversary stream last month…. so I decided to dress as Chara for my FC's Halloween costume contest!

My character (Alice) dressed as Chara from Undertale - specifically a more softhearted interpretation of them inspired by a lot of fan art I've seen. "Chara" is making a heart with their hands and smiling with a crown of golden flowers on their head. They are standing in the Elpis flower field at the end of Ultima Thule, and the [SAVE] button from the final True Pacifist battle against Asriel is edited on top of them. "Chara" from the end of the other route - the Genocide route. They smirk at the camera and slash with their dagger, filling the screen with red damage numbers in an otherwise blank void.

Third-Rate Azem (Krile&Fordola)

After defeating Elidibus and returning from the First, Fordola has some pointed questions for Krile about their shared abilities.

Krile winks and puts a finger to her lips as she sits across from Fordola at a dimly-lit table in the Rising Stones. Between them are the Convocation crystals in a loose pile, aside from the Azem Stone which Fordola now holds in her hand.

Or: It wasn't the Primal the Ascians were after on the Isle of Val.

Herding Coeurls (Lucia, Yugiri, Fordola)

Takes place during the EW rolequest capstone! Yugiri and Fordola get off on the wrong foot and now it’s Lucia’s headache to deal with.

Yugiri, Lucia, and Fodola at Camp Broken Glass in Garlemald. Yugiri crosses her arms and glares over her shoulder at Fordola, who snarls and glares back at her. Lucia stands behind them both, frowning in thought.

Simply by combining the right pieces, this level of cosplay is possible for Furudo Erika. …What do you think, everyone? 😉
"Erika" sipping tea next to a Black Coeurl minion (hi Bern!) while perched on a balcony in the City of Books, a seemingly infinite library. (The screenshot was actually taken in the first boss room of Great Gubal Library (Hard).) Finally, "Erika" points forward and gives the command to attack while balanced on the prow of a pirate ship. Two demonic goat (well, Hrothgar with horned headwear) butlers are standing at attention behind her.

This year, October 4th and 5th fall on a weekend, the same as in 1986 when the visual novel Umineko no naku koro ni takes place! As such, today I'm taking a break from fanfic to do a glam of one of its most infamous characters!

ffxiv.eorzeacollection.com/glamour/3082...

#ffxiv #umineko #gpose
A screenshot of my Lalafell, Alice, dressed up as Furudo Erika from Umineko and posing while attacking with the Padjali scythe as contrasting blue and red flames swirl around her. Her outfits consists of the Songbird Hat, Ribbon of Slaying, Valentione Emissary's Ruffled Dress, High Summoner's Armlets, Whisperfine Woolen Shorts, and the Loyal Housemaid's Pumps. "Erika" kneeling as she puts her ear against a wall, eavesdropping with a smug smirk on her face. "Erika" does a curtsey, mimicking her portraits from the visual novel. She is standing in the white marble court of the Grand Cosmos, and gold and white flower petals drift through the air around her.

Changing Tack (Merlwyb/Kan-E-Senna)

When the Admiral receives a message from the Elder Seedseer taking her to task for her reckless actions, she knows how to read between the lines.

Merlwyb and Kan-E-Senna standing back-to-back, with Limsa Lominsa visible in the distance over Merlwyb's shoulder, and the Carline Canopy of Gridania visible behind Kan-E-Senna. Merlwyb holds a letter in her hand, in the midst of reading it, while Kan-E is poised with a quill on her notepad, having just written the letter.

Walking on cloud nine, trying not to look down (Athena/Hegemone)

One possible (and very lesbian) explanation for why Hegemone kicked off the whole Pandaemonium plot. (cw: manipulation)

A close-up shot of Athena caressing Hegemone's cheek as her eyes widen. Behind them, the intertwined pipes and constructs of the Stygian Insenescence Cells pulse unsettlingly in the background.

By the way, I made two versions of the pose, the above to share along with the fic link, and this one, which gives away the reveal. 😉
As the three exit the council meeting chambers in the Royal Palace of Ala Mhigo, Lyse suddenly smiles awkwardly and backs away as Raubahn and M'naago turn to each other in confusion. …If you look closely, Lyse's eyes are green rather than her normal blue. A faint, semi-transparent shade of Fordola can be seen over her left shoulder, shaking her head in frustration at Lyse's fumbling attempts to conceal what's really going on.

Uncharacteristically Reticent (Fordola/Lyse)

In which Lyse discovers there's just one teensy, tiny problem with executing a Resonant: they occasionally fail to die when killed. Oops.

Stamps from across the Star (Arenvald & Alphinaud)

Arenvald sits in his wheelchair in front of a writing table scattered with books, scrolls, and a quill. In his hand is an envelope of Turali make, and he smiles faintly as he looks up from it and out the window to the sunlight beyond.
