At the end of the day I think all my ships are inspired by Kurogane and Fai from Tsubasa or Doumeki and Watanuki from xxxHolic. Those were such formative ships for me that the magic doesn't ever go away. Obviously nothing I write is a 1:1 recreation and I wouldn't want that, but there's bits in all.

Soft seeks sharp, quiet wants loud, bright looks for dark, serious needs silly — we choose people who are our complete opposite not to merge but to complement, not to erode each other’s edges but to fill in the cracks.

VOLITION - Subdue the regret. Dust yourself off, proceed. You'll get it in the next life, where you don't make mistakes. Do what you can with this one, while you're alive.

A soul mate can be the person who helps you when you’re patient with everyone but yourself, when you forgive every mistake but your own. Someone who holds your soul when you’re too tired to carry it, who holds your hand as if it were your heart.

I couldn’t really find an NPC I enjoyed shipping with my old main, Neria, so I thought about trying OC/OC and made proto-Bram for that reason. But the more I developed him the more he devoured my brain and now here we are. Sorry Neria. He’s gay so you didn’t get a ship and he also stole your job. 😔

Bram's birthday is the last day of the year because I decided he was a Capricorn and that date just felt right. Mina's birthday is April 1st because it is The Clamp Birthday and for basically no other reason.

Emet makes Bram crazy, at least once he understands him, because he gets it. He gets loss and how it can drive you to completely illogical actions. How it can unspool you into something you don't even recognize. But he also can't bear the way Emet looks at him like he sees someone else.

in the arcadion. straight up "shirking it". and by "it", haha, well. let's justr say. My co-tank 😏 with @seitontenchu.bsky.social's kazuma muwahh muwahh #ffxlv || #gpose || #kazubren

I’ve never encountered any OOC misconceptions of him but for all I yap here I also just don’t talk about Bram with many people. IC people think he’s mean or unapproachable just because he’s big, quiet, and has a sword. But that’s not the case at all, he’s very kind and patient.

damn I wish hyur existed irl they're so cute

When I log in just to stare at my OC

there is beautiful yaoi and yuri in tuliyollal #ffxiv

I guess people get hung up on what others do in their xiv canon, as if all world builds need to accommodate them at all costs, and it's like. Dog. This isn't About you. I don't know you. None of us have absolute control of the canon. We're just playing in our individual sandboxes. We're having FUN

Mina has seen dozens of horrible, brutal wounds. She’s helped to reattach fingers. She’s amputated limbs. She also settles into a panic attack any time anyone has a face injury, much to her personal chagrin. She just can’t shake the terror she felt when she was little and thought Bram might die.

Aside from the obvious, Bram has pretty bad burn scars on his legs from fighting the Ultima weapon in ARR. Very painful and quite prominent. Also miserable to heal. Few people ever see them, though.

Time to make you all read my favorite random drabble passage again ✨

Deeply embarrassing to hear a local 🇨🇦studio had a tone deaf seminar for its employees today about ‘side hustles’ that includes such great tips like -rent out your spare rooms -shovel people’s snowy sidewalks and my favourite -sell all your stuff secondhand (live a life devoid of things/joy)

Honestly if there was a body hair toggle I could just live my life purely vanilla. That’s the literal only way I change his appearance. Obviously I’d also love his full scar but not even mods can work that magic. 😔
