#ffxiv #yotsuyu #gosetsu
Gosetsu and Yotsuyu are stranded on the deserted island. Gosetsu is turned away from the viewer and sitting crosslegged facing the ocean. Yotsuyu is lying close to the viewer, but with her face off-screen. This panel is repeated multiple times as they talk. Yotsuyu: Why didn't you kill me? Gosetsu: It's unbecoming of a samurai to kill an unarmed and unconscious opponent. Yotsuyu: So you would kill me if I were armed? Gosetsu: No. I have failed Doma, and Doma has failed you. It is not for me to cast your judgement. The panels remain the exact same as their conversation continues. Yotsuyu: Hah, being self-righteous is the only thing you samurai are good at. I would have killed you without hesitation or remorse, you know this. Did you perhaps think saving my life would spare you my wrath? Gosetsu: You called me a survivor, just like you. I thought, perhaps- Yotsuyu: I didn't agree to be the face of your regrets, old man. Yotsuyu: Revisit this moment as often as you like, reality will not be any kinder. What a joke. Denied my agency, denied my dignity, and now even denied my anger at being denied. Don't you dare remember me as that meek girl. A Doma that would only save her is not worth saving. The camera changes to show Yotsuyu staring directly at Gosetsu, while Gosetsu's expression remains just out of view. Yotsuyu: Do you hear me, old man playing at being a priest? The Doma that cannot forgive Yotsuyu for surviving likewise cannot be forgiven. Do not put your regrets in my mouth without putting your resentment there too.

second of her name

#ffxiv
FFXIV Dawntrail comic. Sphene: Wuk Lamat... Wuk Lamat from offscreen: Come on, you can call me Lamaty'i! Sphene: Wuk Lamat, please be honest. Are you actually talking with me, or are you hoping to somehow talk with her? Wuk Lamat, still offscreen: I... I'm sorry. I know it's not fair to you, it's just..." Sphene: No, it's okay. It's my fault for bringing it up. At least you're trying to know more about her. Sphene continues speaking with a sad smile: I also tried, you know. This Alexandria and its queen were both unrecognisable to me. I figured the best way to get to know both was to ask about her. A lot can change in four hundred years. Her favourite places, her favourite songs, her favourite plays... They would probably all be different from mine, but I was sure that I would understand what she loved about them. But nobody could tell me anything. The last panel, Wuk Lamat looks on wordlessly as Sphene continues. Sphene: She loved everyone and everything equally... That's nonsense, even gods play favourites. They just didn't look at her enough to notice. I've made a mistake, Wuk Lamat. I accepted the crown because I was happy to still have a place in Alexandria. I noticed too late that nobody looks at me either. But, thank you, truly, for wanting to know about her. I'm sorry I can't help you.

#arknights #shalem #phantom
Arknights comic. Shalem is carrying Phantom out of the castle. Phantom: Abyss- Shalem, interrupting him: Shalem. Anything you want to tell Abyss should have been said 10 years ago. It's Shalem now. Phantom, relieved: I see, that's good... Thank you for rescuing me, Shalem. Shalem, expression unreadable: ... Don't mention it. Phantom: Shalem... are you angry with me? Shalem: There would be no point to that.

shalem applies his eyeliner in the bathroom mirror and thinks to himself, with the text bubbles aligned as if he's having a conversation with his mirror image. mirror: "I deeply resent how little input I have had on anything pertaining to myself throughout my life." shalem: "That much is obvious." mirror: "I wish I were born a woman so I could be a man as intentional choice rather than having it simply happen to me." shalem: "That's insane we are Not examining that thought."

a pointless little test

#arknights #shalem #phantom #アークナイツ　#シャレム　#ファントム
Arknights comic. Shalem and Phantom are having tea. Only their silhouettes from behind are visible. The first four panels are identical save for the text. Shalem: Lucian. There is something I have been meaning to tell you... Shalem: I really hate you. Shalem: Do you believe me when I say that? Phantom: (after a pause) Yes. Shalem moves to drink his tea and miss Christine jumps onto the table. Shalem: Well, that's no good. Phantom now pets miss Christine. Phantom: Was that the wrong answer? Shalem: No, never mind. Please forget I said anything. I shouldn't ask questions I won't like any of the answers to.

act or die spoilers i guess (most of this can be extrapolated from operator tragodia even existing tho)

#arknights #shalem
Arknights comic. Shalem rants too long to fit into the alt text character limit about how it's nice for Lucian that he was able to get closure for his history with the troupe leader Tragodia enough to take on that name, but Lucian's experiences as the leader's favourite were very different than those of the other members, and Shalem can't get the same closure just from hearing a person he hates is dead. Shalem says everything bad he went through was basically just collateral in making Lucian the kind of person who would take up the mantle of Tragodia, and he's sick of being taken for granted and watching all his efforts to keep Lucian safe be rejected so that Lucian can keep chasing Tragodia, so he rejects the offer to join Lucian's new troupe, and he wants that rejection to hurt. The second panel shows that Shalem didn't actually say any of that, he's just thinking about it while watching Lucian-Tragodia from a distance.

Shadowbringers comic (1/2)

#ffxiv #emetselch #aura #viera
[This is a comic about the second half of Shadowbringers. It also has contextless Endwalker spoilers] Emet-Selch is talking to the Warrior of Light offscreen at the Ladder. A male Viera is taking stock in the background and listening in. When Emet-Selch leaves the Viera says "Someone like that won't save you." and is shocked when Emet-Selch turns around and says "What was that?" Emet-Selch sees who it is and says "Oh, the assistant." The Viera rambles "Very sorry to bother you sir, I assure you I did not mean to eavesdrop, I just happened to overhear your conversation and failed to keep my thoughts to myself. I did not expect you to listen to me..." He trails off, thinks for a moment, and says "We all appear broken to you, so you may not have realized..." The Viera continues with a look of disdain towards the Warrior of Light, an older Au Ra: "But that man is well and truly defective, as hero and person both. This "Warrior of Light" of ours lacks any understanding of grief or suffering, and has no desire to change the world whatsoever. He has some skill at heroics, but he is worthless as a hero. He truly believes life is fine as it is. The promise of a distant paradise will never win him over." Emet-Selch: "A rather unbecoming amount of disdain towards the man you have thrown your lot in with. Are you considering a change of allegiance?" Viera: "Unfortunately I am a coward moved by fear for my own life. My personal misgivings aside, you are as familiar as I with his results. He is an indispensable asset to those who live in the present. Though his behaviour has been unusual ever since the Crystal Exarch involved himself. I may indeed have to reconsider where I stand." The Viera looks serious now. "Presumptuous though it may be, I do feel some kinship with you. It hardly compares to your eternity, but I have still lived longer than most, and have seen more than many would in that time. I have learned that the sole constant of life on this star, is violence." The Viera narrates over a scene of armed conflict. "People of all races, all walks of life, all mother tongues, understand what violence is. From east to west, from past to present, all of mankind knows pain, and how to inflict it." The scene changes to animals feeding on prey. "The wolf knows what it is to hunt, and the deer knows what it is to be hunted. Neither ever needs to be taught. Ants wage countless wars beneath our feet each day, and even plants understand what it means to harm one another." A cross-section of an egg shows Meteon curled up inside. "Each person's first breath is spent screaming in pain. No chick is born without breaking its shell." An indistinct outline of Amaurot's skyline. "From our perspective, a people who have never known conflict or hardship-" It pans down to show the Viera's smug expression. "Can hardly even be considered alive, no?" He turns to smile mockingly at Emet-Selch. "Though the same cannot be said of you, of course! Indeed, I do not doubt we are but pale facsimiles of true life in your eyes." Emet-Selch looks down on the Viera as he leaves through a portal and says "I will give you points for originality, at least." The Viera stands before the open gates before the Ladder, with nobody else in sight. He thinks "WHY DID I SAY THAT" and panics, pacing back and forth and repeating "why did I say that he's going to kill me" a few times before going "Why do I run! My stupid mouth!" with his head in his hands. A moment later he clicks his tongue, looks back up, and mumbles "The assistant... He should at least try to remember our names at this point."

drawing of shalem with a serious face saying "No, I do not mean to say I believe the world would necessarily be better if I did not exist. That rather overestimates the impact my actions have historically had. I only mean that in a better world, "I" would not exist." sketch of shalem clutching his chest
