this house is gonna k*ll me 02

#ffxivart #chagolore
a staircase illuminated by flash photography. It's old and worn, and some of the railing pegs are missing. A miqo'te child is staring through them, wide-eyed, at the viewer. He has long black hair and yellow eyes. The artwork has been edited to resemble corrupted video footage.

this house is going to k*ll me 01

#ffxivart #chagolore
a miqo'te male silhouette stands in the doorway of a farmhouse. The interior is red, and it seems to be late at night. The only visible features of the silhouette are two glowing eyes, staring at the viewer, and a red hole between them. The silhouette is holding a certain mechanical device that could theoretically have made that hole.

who are you, really?

#ffxiv #ffxivart
a friend's WoL, with dark skin & long black hair with blond tips, is wearing a grey t shirt & several bloody bandages. He has a look of horror on his face & is dragging a bloody hand across a large portrait of himself in his tribe's regalia. the portrait has uncannily bright blue eyes, almost glowing, which are staring directly at the viewer. The title of the portrait is "our savior". The entire piece is moody, intense, & desaturated except for the portrait's eyes and the smeared blood.

he was a very affectionate and happy child, a bit shy, but then stuff happened & he became quite aggressive & withdrawn. This pattern of being naturally friendly & joyful then being ground into a little paste of anger & sorrow continues on for the rest of his life :)

#chagoart #chagolore
a very long image of chago throughout the years, starting as an angry 8yo with long hair, then a smiling 13yo with a buzzcut, an emaciated & scantily-clad 15yo with dyed hair and piercings, a hopeful-looking 19yo setting off for eorzea, a stressed out greasy-haired early-20s chago from Stormblood with a fresh magic burn on his forearm, a sin eater chago, & chago as with his classic mullet + bandana + "fish want me" tank top.

All my fics: archiveofourown.org/users/simple...

& some snippets i like best :)
from Weal: "A’chago hated to admit it, but he knew that he was the one who escalated the situation. Emet-Selch had been just as bored and dramatic as he'd been in the round earlier that day, and it was A’chago who goaded him into snapping with his rapid-fire insults and cursing. He truly hadn't expected Emet-Selch to respond so violently. It was like a switch was flipped—gone was the exhausted, melodramatic Ascian waxing poetic about ye olde days. He was replaced by an angry man in A'chago's room. And, well. A’chago didn't have a great track record with angry men. At the very end of Emet-Selch’s speech, he kicked a stool and proclaimed he was doing it all for A’chago, who was an affront to God and existence. Or something similar. It was at that point that A'chago had called Emet-Selch a few more colorful expletives, including insinuating he had ulterior motives for confronting A’chago in his bedroom. That was when he got slapped, he explained. “We were both pretty quiet after that,” A’chago recalled. How dare you!? Emet-Selch had shouted. I would never—how dare you!? Do not ever accuse me of such a deplorable act again!" from Oud: "Pressure on the crown of his head signaled G’raha resting his chin. Like this, A’chago could feel the vibration of his voice as he spoke. “I missed you,” he rumbled. “Silence, fool,” A’chago responded, and lightly pressed his head up. “You miss going on adventures.” A giggle, something reserved entirely for A’chago because of how soft it made G’raha sound, squeaked in his ears. “Well, I can’t deny that, but…” G’raha released his hold on A’chago’s torso to play with his ears, flipping the cartilage in and out and back again. “I’ve also missed these,” he said. Then his fingers trailed past A’chago’s bandana, until they curved under A’chago’s eyes. “And these.” He continued his journey to the flat bridge of A’chago’s nose, settled squarely between his high cheekbones. “This.” And then down to his full lips, with the pronounced cupid’s bow. “This, especially. It’s far too quiet when you’re gone.” A’chago twisted his face until G’raha laughed at his expression. “Did you just call me noisy?”" from The Road to El Tuliyollal: "Alphinaud strode up alongside Wuk Lamat, who was staring at them with a look of bewilderment. “Chago is just teasing,” he told her. “He’s simply jealous that he has shite stores of aether.” Wuk Lamat gave a look that said she wasn’t sure if she should laugh at that joke or not, but Alisaie cackled out loud, and that was fortifying enough for her to give a polite chuckle. “Oh, well, I don’t have that much talent for magic either,” she said. “So A’chago and I are in the same boat.” “Thank you, Wuk Lamat.” A’chago stuck his tongue out at both of the twins. “Also I don’t recall either of you being white mages. Doesn’t that make me cooler, ‘cuz I can do it even though I have a disability?” “For Hydaelyn’s sake, you’re not disabled,” Alisaie interrupted. “Seven hells. You’re the Warrior of Light, you can’t be saying things like that.” “Actually, Thancred said I could say it.” “Thancred’s not—well, I suppose he is.” “I’m telling Thancred you think that his quality of life is exactly the same after losing his ability to use aether at all.”" from The Road to El Tuliyollal: "The letter was thick, fine parchment, the kind that was difficult to procure unless one had pockets deep enough to regularly purchase imported paper from the Far East. It stood out G’raha’s eye immediately as he sifted through the mail that the postmoogle handed him that afternoon. The recipient was clearly intended to be himself, as depicted by the elaborately-written name in the very center, where G’raha was written with more loops and curls than he could count. The address was the Baldesion Annex, as well, which eliminated any remaining doubt. But who could be writing to him? And of what—official business regarding the Students? G’raha glanced up at the name of the sender, and immediately frowned in disgust. “What’s the matter, kupo?” the postmoogle asked, with a tilt of their round, fuzzy head. The lopsided mail cap slid half an ilm down the expanse of white fur. “Is it a court summons? Jury duty? Are you being sent to prison, kupo?” G’raha stuffed the letter in his pocket, not minding the way it wrinkled the expensive paper, and scowled. “No, I am not.” Hildibrand Manderville, Inspector Extraordinaire, was not worth going to prison over. Not that that particularly influenced G’raha’s desire to kick the man’s teeth in."

moonfire faire pt2

#chagoart #ffxiv #ffxivart
2 identical panels of two miqo'te men outside at night, presumably at the Queen Llhaminn for the moonfire faire event in ffxiv. graha tia (ffxiv) is sitting on top of artist's wol (chago). chago appears to be drunk & focused on graha's mouth, while graha holds him back by the hair & says "woah there, tiger". in the 2nd panel, g'raha holds his hand up to obscure their faces from the viewer & asks if chago is ready to go home.
