#ffxiv looking the part

digital illustration of ryne (when she was called minfilia) sat on the ground, lightly hunched. she levels an inscrutable stare at the viewer. her dress has been torn and altered so it looks more like that of her namesake's. in her hands she loosely holds one of her daggers and the remaining fabric ripped from one of her sleeves. she bleeds from somewhere underneath her chin. a smaller drawing shows her neck, where her collar has been cut in half and tied around a small blue crystal, resembling the word of the mother's necklace. the crystal has nicked her throat, causing the aforementioned bleeding.

rough sketch of gaia (ffxiv) and kris (deltarune) pointedly not looking at one another. gaia makes a mention of kris' 'faerie', then dismisses the statement upon getting no response.

handwave

rough digital sketch of alisaie (in her shadowbringers outfit) and susie (deltarune) (dark world form) holding their weapons loosely and fist-bumping. alisaie remarks that most of susie's swings actually land and susie relents back by describing her rapier as a 'toothpick thing'.

the bugs eating my brain this summer

rough colored sketch of ryne (shadowbringers) and noelle (deltarune) (dark world form) dressed in each other's clothes. there's also a silhouette of a snow globe in the background because the artist is a talentless hack

always come back to this one wrt thanny

excerpt from The Murderbot Diaries #5: Network Effect. it reads: "It's normal to feel conflict. You were part of something for a long time. You hate it, and it was a terrible thing. But it created you, and you were part of it."

shadowbrngers resident @ciphox.bsky.social · 11/06/2026

watching the minfilia-speaking-through-ryne to thancred cutscene not only be a flashback but also taking place before you even make it to the first trial:

rough digital comic. the exarch and artist's wol speaking in (not illustrated) the ocular. it is actually entirely wol speaking while the exarch stands there perturbingly.
WoL: say, exarch. were all you students of baldesion acquainted?
WoL: clive and ursula. ring any bells?
WoL: during the expedition with NOAH, you knew about val. must have. and it's not a secret who you were, anymore.
WoL: so why haven't you asked about krile?

shadowbrngers resident @ciphox.bsky.social · 20/05/2026

sorry wait. this was also Really Particularly Bad. as said. weeks-long nonstop deluge of personalized torment

Urianger: Would that we all had they surety of purpose.

shadowbrngers resident @ciphox.bsky.social · 20/05/2026

this was also pretty bad but to be honest nearly everything thancred has ever said has been Bad

Thancred: You may not remember this about our Minfilia...

shadowbrngers resident @ciphox.bsky.social · 20/05/2026

recency bias but this was really really bad

Emet-Selch: what a disappointment you turned out to be.

ryne taking pity on him 😭

ffxiv chat log. malikah's well npc dialogue with thancred, urianger, and ryne as the party members.
Thancred: What do you suppose we'll find down here?
Thancred: Shall we get this over and done with?
Thancred: Phew, glad that's over with.
Ryne: We need to climb down somehow.
Thancred: Well there has to be a path somewhere...
Thancred: With any luck this tunnel will lead down.
Thancred: Is this some sort of joke?
Thancred: I never knew buckets could be so dangerous.
Thancred: Looks like we're getting closer.
Ryne: We're nearly there. I can feel it!
Thancred: I have a bad feeling about these boulders...
Ryne: There it is!
Thancred: Well done, Ryne. Now to end this.

digital sketch
THANCRED: [after noticing wol failed to loudly communicate interest or a lack thereof which is uncharacteristic] are you quite well? world hopping taking its toll?
WoL: [not immediately bristling at the implied weakness. indicating something is terribly wrong] i don't think it would..

Crystal Exarch: The combined power of every Lightwarden is too terrible a burden for any one soul to bear. And so I shall relieve you of it.
