every bdo quest is you working really hard to help someone or you're learning the Horrors and black spirit is just in the background like

HE'S SO FUNNNYYY

also a fav is how he tries to look intimidating but then you talk to him and he's like a prep in a goth form

THE entity of all time to me. the way the loca team sneaks in that he's a he/they king only enhances this.

thank youu~!! 💙

here's the blank for you~!

tyy i loved coming up with these, somehow this mishmosh all fits!!

i don't actually have a lot of outside inspo since her inspo comes from aspects of xiv itself but these i can look at and go...yup i can see parts.

it's not a case of them going "ew yucky!" but moreso "i cannot understand what it means to live, so by extension i do not understand the significance of this and cannot reciprocate well." and this stems beyond sex, but plays a role in their approach to communication in general.

there's just so many factors pulling them back and forth. "you're ultima, no you're the warrior of light." she doesn't want to forego one identity and push it away in favor of another, she wants to love and accept both as both herself.

so a big part of them isn't just understanding her past, but understanding what it means to be in this new body and life and why it was given to them. she doesn't fully come to terms with this and understand it until the end of endwalker (pandaemonium in particular).

a lot this is initially contributed to the memory loss, but once it's back? it's a full on identity crisis and seeing themselves as her ultima form in the skin of a mortal/viera, like walking in a shell. other viera try to greet her in a way viera would understand and she doesn't know how to respond

less buff options too :( i pretty much have to make a separate c+ to fake a buff on non-buff outfits
