ohhh old estinien art.... pookie

colored sketch of estinien. he is kneeling down with an elbow resting on his knee and his chin resting in his hand. he is wearing his casual outfit, the blue summer indigo shirt and black pants. his hair is tied up and hangs over his back.

i suspect tis how my comrades came to recognize that zenos was the one in my body in garlemald, aside from y'shtola's aethersight. being a tall garlean fighter he would have been more heavy-footed and careless with his steps || #emichi

i don't have one, but if i did, i imagine they would be able to tell by how i walk. twould be pretty easy to fake being me with knowledge of things i love like sweets and high places but perfecting my lightfooted gait & body control from dancing would be difficult for most, i think || #emichi

but well, this at least helped. i feel a small weight lifted just acknowledging it again. taking its power away. can only live life a day at a time 😩 || #emichi

i know haurche does not regret his decision and would ALSO do it again, he has said as much to me, and i know seeing me like this because i almost lost him that day probably hurts him as well so i try to hide it, try to keep it locked in, but it is difficult. it does linger and fester || #emichi

if i could do it differently... fury, i've thought about this since it happened. i've played every scenario, every possibility. none of them end the way i want but i would. i would try, i would not give chase, i would not have told aymeric the truth... anything to undo it || #emichi

every single rash action i have taken to save others before myself, every single time i have pushed someone i love away, every time i have refused to let anyone else in... ALL of it can be pointed to this single moment, compounded by many which came after & affirmed it || #emichi

the vault. it is my life's greatest regret and the source of all of my turmoil and fears. i still see myself as a liability. i still have nightmares, i still am afraid someone else i love will step between myself and a blade, except this time they won't barely survive. i am trying || #emichi

|| like i don't dislike being perceived as me, i do it all the fuckin time in discord lmao but idk. it's hard to explain? anyway i will probably reactivate my main at some point. i'm fine, just want/need a break lmao

小櫻笑美 • emi kozakura 🗡️ @varlineau.etheirys.social · 21h

|| the temptation to abandon my main account & use this as my main is rising again. this one feels cozy and safe, less overwhelming and overstimulating. plus it's a nice escape getting to post and be perceived as emi & not me... maybe another week exclusively here like i did back in may is needed 🫠

better, mayhap? it does make sense; keeping track of the passage of time is important both for writing reports or logs, and when in more dire situations it helps one stay grounded. though it does serve as a constant reminder of how long you've been in one place. bad for us who prefer movement :(

well, considering i've been dancing in and out of combat for years now and even managed to mix some of my lancework into my dance routines as well as improvisation work... i would say so, aye 🙂‍↕️ i quite love it; music and song have always been at the core of my soul || #emichi

You see the world the way you want it to be. I see the world the way it is. You are idealistic to a fault. But I know you would never turn your back on those in need. Never close your eyes to their suffering.

A post from tumblr user tainbocuailnge: "estinien's character arc is letting go of his anger so he can stop being an empty suit of armor propelled by vengeance and go back to being a real person and he's by far the most chill of the recurring characters now that he's done that but one of his core tenets remains "there are things worth getting mad about and you should be getting mad about them" and it's funny every time when he comes across a dragon wallowing in defeatist self pity and has to go "god shut the fuck up and just get mad about it like a normal person""

mmh but i am certain aymeric likes them, no? so they avail you in *different* ways 😏 also, he's one to talk. simply bring up the fashion disaster that is his traveling cloak 😂 sure, it helps him maintain a low profile, i *guess*, but it is easily the worst of his looks
