it's very important that my perception of brd and how bard magic works is heavily inspired by the magnus archives "grifter's bone" and the magnus protocol "taking notes"

elinor is singing his little heart out on the battlefield as he shoots his bow hdbsbdjxjx although sometimes when he’s a part of bigger battles he leaves his bow entirely and just plays his violin and sings as support. he's all about versatility and doing whatever's needed most at that moment
#wolqotd for the Bard Mains out there

How do you envision bardic magic in combat? Is it similar to how it’s depicted in game play: the occasional flourish of the flute or strum of a harp to inspire and buff the party? Or is your BRD singing and dancing their way through the battlefield? Smth else?

BTW if you ever wanna commission an artist you don't have to have OC's or fandom characters- you can literally just be like "dang I'd like to have some more lesbian art exist" or "wow it would be real nice to see some trans rep in my culture" or "wouldn't a yellow centric painting look nice here"

eliguydesan fact: in between the heavensward and stormblood bard quests, sanson and guydelot stay in touch w elinor through letters, both bc they liiiiike him and to help him feel more confident reading + writing in eorzean

eliguydesan lore: their first unofficial date was during the valentoine's day event, when the adders asked for volunteers to help decorate gridania for the celebration and sanson + elinor get scared that someone replaced guydelot bc he volunteers (he voluntells both of them, too)

anyway. in terms of eliguydesan, sanson and guydelot are really kind of out of their depth but if nothing else they're stubborn as hell so they're sticking it out with him no matter what. they learned about polyamory while elinor was gone they solved it

this is another reason why in from the cold sets him off so much btw. tfw you've just barely gotten back the ability to look at your reflection without spiraling and then your body gets stolen and the thief hurts people in your body

elinor really is Going Through It post shb but i think the light poisoning in particular really fucked w his head and made his depersonalization much worse so that he barely even recognizes himself anymore afterward. ntm the whole deal with elidibus and ardbert

thinking about post 5.3 eliguydesan in particular. before they get together and elinor is so convinced that he's broken beyond repair from the First and everything that happened that even if they did love him before, they cannot love him now bc he's not that elinor anymore

this does mean that eliguydesan in my head sounds like a little nasally british man, soft-spoken irishman, and patrick stump
