asking because i wanna make aymeric look like he's moaning like a whore

dt is a year and a half old so you think i'd know this by now but if you look closely i just use the same 3 expressions for everyone

Icipher hugs her friends a lot, maybe some cheek kisses to certain people if she's drunk, but she saves most physical intimacy for Aymeric.

With her Dragoon crystal equipped? A few, but they're powered by her body's aether and not by muscle or flexibility.

After EW she loses a lot of her aether so she's unable to perform DRG flips as efficiently.

i just have Nobility Obliges on repeat in my house since it fits the aesthetic and i get distracted with an actual playlist.

Icipher lives in a land of eternal winter (Ishgard) so she thrives in the winter. She loves the snow and the feeling of cold air turning her cheeks red, and coming home to a warm hearth and a hot beverage.

(they're in a small chest underneath their bed... sometimes Aymeric pulls one out and reads a passage to her to embarrass her...)

Icipher has a lot of fantasy novels, but also some historical tomes, and of course her collection of erotic literature. She just has most of it displayed on random bookshelves in Borel Manor without organizing them. Although Aymeric doesn't let her display erotic literature out in the open.

Icipher fights for a future where she doesn't have to fight.

She wants to give up in the MSQ so many times, but is inspired because she really wants her happy ending with Aymeric.

Birth control potions aren't very widespread in Ishgard though since contraception is a sin according to the church (actually they just wanna control women), but after HW they're slowly being introduced along with proper sex ed.
November 13, 2025 at 8:14 AM
Ice crystals are also used to refrigerate food.

Also, alchemy is used for a lot of seemingly mundane things like potions that are just vitamin supplements. It's also canon in my universe (as in published on AO3) that potions are used for birth control.

I hc that elemental crystals are used a lot for household tasks in place of technology, especially in the kitchen. For example, fire crystals are used to heat the stove (already canon if we go by culinary recipes) and both water and fire crystals can be used for a hot bath.

second would be ul'dah since gladiator was my starting job and i teleport there every time i have to dc travel for raid, and i usually end up having to wait so i have a few afk spots there.
November 13, 2025 at 8:07 AM
tbh i'm in Ishgard 90% of the time, it's just the best city in the game and I adore it. i've done every single minor quest in the city and I know exactly where every landmark is.

It was actually Aymeric who started to make her feel more comfortable in her body, he just thinks she's so beautiful no matter what.

After EW when she retires she's actually able to lose some of the weight, although it doesn't make her more beautiful or valuable.
November 13, 2025 at 8:04 AM
that her horns and scales would blend with it. But after spending time in southern Eorzea, she felt better about her scales.

Then around the beginning of HW she gained a lot of weight due to her depression and alcoholism, which just gave her more body image issues.

Icipher was just... made to feel self conscious from birth. As an auri orphan (actually half au ra but she didn't know it at the time) growing up in Coerthas, she was made to feel like a blasphemy and had very few friends because of it. At some point she started dying her hair black in the hopes
November 13, 2025 at 8:00 AM
and afterwards, Aymeric said once she recovered he would be heading back to Ghimlyt, but she decided to follow him, knowing it would be hard but not being by his side would be harder. (this leads into my headcanon expanison Blacksmoke)
November 13, 2025 at 7:58 AM
like it would have been easier to just take her to rhalgr's reach, but he was willing to let Lucia take command for a while, just so he could take her to her home, where she could recover in peace, with him.

3. when Icipher woke up in Ishgard, with Aymeric by her side.

gods I have so much to say about this scene, and like... Icipher already knew Aymeric loved her, but this moment really signified just HOW DAMN MUCH Aymeric loved her.
November 13, 2025 at 7:54 AM
to be fighting side by side, and the next day they celebrated by swimming in the lochs with some other temple knights and maelstrom soldiers and a few others, and it was one of the happiest days of her life (and yeah they swam off for some private time at some point)
November 13, 2025 at 7:53 AM
and they were kind of embarrassed about it but didn't care, and she was so tired from her travels but was so happy to just sleep next to him again

and also when they fought together to take back Ala Mhigho, the liberation wasn't either of their battles but they were happy
November 13, 2025 at 7:52 AM
and they just grew even closer that night.

2. Icipher reuniting with Aymeric in the Lochs. In my hc it was actually only about 2 months since Icipher used aether to make the ship travel faster, but it was still painfully long for them, so they just KISSED with the other alliance leaders watching
November 13, 2025 at 7:50 AM
and Estinien passionately talked about his travels, and how there's so much out there, and he was eager to learn about everything outside of Coerthas and experience exciting new cultures, and a part of him missed Ishgard but he wasn't ready to go back
