She’s still in love with her, despite that broken off courtship, and is struggling not to slide into fatalistic feelings about running out of time with the other. Avenrhi’s got a lot to figure out for herself and at the heart of that is trusting that she can be cared about perennially.

Ruckus Fiddlesticks @rfiddlesticks.bsky.social · 30/09/2026

She tends to fall hard for a woman each summer and in finally trying to break that cycle for herself by carrying her love overwintered really messed it up this year by holding two in her heart- she wound up losing one, in feeling unsure of how to grow an intimacy beyond a year.

Avenrhi’s had busy summers of flings and transactional opportunity, an unrequited mistress/handmaid unhealthy situationship that got taken as a 3rd into a marriage, 11 cycles of infatuated build it & release it before frost rots it growing season romances

About being seen as a heartbreaker, or busy in his intimate life, and while he’s an enthusiastic verbal supporter of his sweethearts’ hopes and dreams, he sometimes is so undemanding/unpossessive, unsure when to reach out & laid back that he gives mixed signals.

Ruckus Fiddlesticks @rfiddlesticks.bsky.social · 30/09/2026

He loves sincerely, but enjoys his independence and keeps his commitment pressure kind of loosely tethered. No serious interest in settling down, though despite this he makes for a supportive partner who really likes to cook for his dates or treat them to a nice night out. Ruckus is self conscious

Last year he fell hard for two very ideologically different Ul’dahn Dunesfolk (Neneru & Pepemu) around the same time. After dating them together as a happy hinge for awhile, they’ve recently decided to round off their triad.

Ruckus Fiddlesticks @rfiddlesticks.bsky.social · 30/09/2026

He had a similar repeat crisis of “do these tallfolk actually like me, like me, or am I just charming?” about Arami & Roxy’s flirting interest in him & it took fantasias and seeing them eye to eye for a little while to believe it. They’re still comet partners, though he’s seen them seldom lately

Ruckus Fiddlesticks @rfiddlesticks.bsky.social · 30/09/2026

Ganz confessed feelings three years ago on his nameday and Ruckus, very caught off guard, had about a monthlong consideration of whether it would be socially acceptable to date a Roegadyn already part of committed polycule (he’s so glad he did) they’re still together cozily now.

Ruckus Fiddlesticks @rfiddlesticks.bsky.social · 30/09/2026

Then dated a Sharlayan student of parallel shard temporal theory, whom he was quite sweet on, but their schedules also ironically lined up kind sporadically. Took her on a few sweet picnics and dates.

Ruckus Fiddlesticks @rfiddlesticks.bsky.social · 30/09/2026

He hit it off with a fella he met in a cafe and dated him sporadically & sort of confusedly in how they were progressing- got dumped a little over a year later very abruptly after three moons of being ghosted.

Ruckus Fiddlesticks @rfiddlesticks.bsky.social · 30/09/2026

Ruckus had a childhood sweetheart he fell on/off again in pursuit of post calamital and during his adventuring years. Finally came to the conclusion his torch girl’s dreams were bigger than him and she wasn’t that into him, swore off romanticals for a bit.

Avenrhi tends to tell herself stories to make sense of her own life, and she sometimes shares that narrative with others. For her this is a self-defining expression of autonomy. She's come into doing this in performative lyric/poetic forms of Gelmorran oral tradition with warm enthusiasm.

Ruckus Fiddlesticks @rfiddlesticks.bsky.social · 27/09/2026

Ruckus is a very entertaining public storyteller! When he gets up on the table at a tavern, you're probably in for a laugh. Sometimes they're catchy and rhyme. He tells stories alongside the foods that he makes, usually as a way of passing along traditions, or how those recipies came into his hands.

Avenrhi cycles through’em seasonally - actually its getting around that time I should take down her Plait but it’s so magnificent ;A;

Lorelai is Obsessed with Suikoden Again @judgementscythe.bsky.social · 21/09/2026

Fordola is the most interesting redemption arc for me becuase they have a character that isn't demanding she be forgiven. She's working as hard as she can to earn forgiveness from herself and acknowledges that she did things that could never be forgiven and doesn't ask anyone too

I love that the cure for a bunch of terminal aether maladies in FFXIV is just porxies. Imagine being told by doctors that you're dying but there's a cure and it's, like. Just a cute flying pig that flutters around and makes you feel warm. It's like being prescribed kittens. God I wish that was real

something that feels authentic for herself.

Ruckus Fiddlesticks @rfiddlesticks.bsky.social · 17/09/2026

She has community supporting her but for the most part they identify so much more Shroudfolk/Gelmorran than Gyr Abanian- and a lot of these obligatory reconnection feelings she's been striving for because of a romantic partner! So there's a lot of identity politics to reconcile with and come up with

Ruckus Fiddlesticks @rfiddlesticks.bsky.social · 17/09/2026

She's reluctant to leave home and duty and intentional committment for an ideal of a having a native homeland that may or may not feels like she belongs there? (Avenrhi's a great drinking buddy she'll reach right across your lap to help herself to M'kana's snacks. )

Ruckus Fiddlesticks @rfiddlesticks.bsky.social · 17/09/2026

You are so correct in that she's leaving an abusive/exploitative long term service relationship she's convinced herself is life debt; on the other end of self-reclaimation is this awful realization she does not have a genuine connection to the land/people of her birth, she'll have no family ties.

I promise you I am no climatologist, but I am so very normal about the deeply inherent temporal romanticism of Dryas octopetala.

Ruckus Fiddlesticks @rfiddlesticks.bsky.social · 16/09/2026

Ears, Tail, Fing- No really though. Her grit, her relentless & multidirectional Pursuits. Her intolerance for complacency. Her oft-overlooked generousity & her impulsive aggressions. Her glee, when she is delighted. Her calculated risk & the wild spark in her eyes when that caution is flung aside.

I had so desperately wanted Galool Ja to be a fates baby hole of Zoraal Ja this made every sense to me but no we had to have an entire patch denying what could have been so easily deployed a trip and so devastating a character arc.

I also enjoy being slightly more conscious of leaning into the Eorzean pantheon for “moonthly” loose theming

Man it’s funny how playing a character very tied to the turning of seasonal energy and time makes you hyperaware of just how fast that goes…. Althyk, buddy, you gotta slow up for me just a bit ser. I thought I had more time for these developments.

iirc- The application of heat more than the flavor profile of spicy; slow cooking vs searing, carmelization and malliard reaction.

Ruckus Fiddlesticks @rfiddlesticks.bsky.social · 03/09/2026

I promise her that the worst parts are behind her now, that she might rest secure in that. At least for my part. I can't speak for any of my pals rubbing their hands together.

Ruckus Fiddlesticks @rfiddlesticks.bsky.social · 03/09/2026

She may try to coerce me into the acknowledgement that I'm really letting her do the best that she can, given circumstances. She seems comforted by the idea that they are within somebody's control, and mayhaps thinks I can be bargained with, with enough batting of eyes or prayers.

Ruckus Fiddlesticks @rfiddlesticks.bsky.social · 03/09/2026

Avenrhi is ingratiating in a way that feels insincere as we both stare eye-to-eye, and she probably tries to fawn at me into giving her the reassurances of a easier time. She pleads to know that she's living something halfway true, and that I've not put her into existence to judge her or her people.
