14. Rubbing your partner's back until they fall asleep
Slams hand down on the WoL x Emet button
This is a continuation drabble based on my fic Unwound because now I have the brainworms. The fic can be found here. More info in the tags.
Akira lay on her stomach, face pressed into her pillow as if trying to hide from the decision she had made with full faculties, with no drink to blame. She could hear the voices of everyone she cared about asking her what was she thinking? And yet, she didn't want to take it back. She just more wished the situation was different. That she wasn't who she was and he wasn't who he was.
"A bit late for second thoughts don't you think, Hero?" Emet-Selch's hand ran up and down her back, fingers lightly tracing along each obsidian scale. If she could just get rid of this guilt, it would probably lull her to sleep. She lifted one arm and pressed her index finger over his mouth, still not looking up.
"Stop talking," she grumbled into her pillow, and she felt him pull away from her.
"Well, if you want me to go-" Her hand snapped to his wrist without her full permission, as if now that she'd admitted to herself that she wanted him she was going to keep him right where she wanted him. He resumed his ministrations with a small huff of laughter, so quiet she almost missed it.
"I'm getting mixed signals, Hero."
"So am I." The noise he made was louder this time, a scoff of protest.
"I have been very clear-"
"Not from you." He was quiet for several moments and she sighed, knowing he was waiting for her to explain. Even though she knew he knew. He had to know, right? She pointed at her still hidden face as her explanation.
"Ah. You're still not sure what it is you want." She could hear the smirk in his voice.
"No. Just not sure I should want it." Akira curled her arms under the pillow, the soft material giving under her horns. She could feel some threads catching but she'd long since gotten past feeling bad over every pillow her horns ruined. He gave a long suffering sigh and, before she could protest, hauled her by arm and leg over him until she draped across his torso, her head nestled into the crook between his neck and shoulder. The tip of one horn was not even an ilm from his throat, but if it bothered him he didn't show it.
"What're you doing?" she asked cautiously, still tense at the sudden movement.
"You don't want me to leave, so I was planning on getting some sleep if you don't mind," the words sounded irritated, but his hand had resumed its gentle rubbing of her back, not put off in the least by the body she still regarded at times as strange and unfamiliar. She wondered if he was trying to lull her into a false sense of security. As if he could read her mind, he let out another sigh.
"I'm not going to kill you in the night," he insisted. "I said I wanted cooperation and I meant it."
"Somehow I don't think this is what you originally meant."
"Besides," he continued, as if he didn't hear her. "You deserve to know when your death is coming for you." Akira was quiet for several long moments. What a strange compliment, but it did feel like one. Still uncertain, she leaned on her Echo senses. They were never wrong, and while in the midst of battle she might miss their signs, when it was quiet and she was still, she could hear them clearly.
Nothing. No looming danger. He was telling the truth. She was still loath to sleep while someone she knew for a fact would prefer her dead or at least gone was still in her bed, but asking him to leave felt even worse. She swallowed hard, then tried to relax, finding it somehow far too easy now that she'd established even with her preternatural danger senses that she was safe.
"Emet-Selch?"
"Hm?"
"Goodnight," she mumbled quietly, feeling her face heat just slightly as she adjusted just a little, just enough to assure herself she wasn't going to accidentally stab him with her horn in the night.
"Sweet dreams, Hero," he replied, and she could hear the slight smile in his voice, the softness that crept in occasionally when his guard fell ever so slightly.
Akira closed her eyes, letting her lose herself in the small circles he was now rubbing into her back, and as she was drifting off she could hear him humming something. It was just this side of familiar, like something she'd heard long ago, something she'd forgotten. But she was too far gone now.
Sleep claimed her, dragging her under to gentle touches and quiet songs sung by her enemy.

Saphira Appreciation Post!
Tumblr media
I don't know how I'm going to write this, so I'm just going to info dump, and hope it works out. This post is going to be LONG.
Here's an excerpt from a very angry website discussing Saphira's wing design:
"Well, it turns out they weren’t feathers after all. They were a “scale and feather hybrid providing lift and strength to the wing” and are “made from plated scales,” whatever that means – “sceathers” for short (their word, not ours). It gets worse: “Wing feathers spread during glides. Added flutter for wind dynamics.” A dragon is not an eagle (or any bird, for that matter). Saphira – the true Saphira – would not be happy right now!"
Another excerpt from a website explaining her unique wing design:
"My priority was to design Saphira, the dragon. I worked with the design team at ILM over a period of about six months, testing various approaches. We finally created a shape that we were all happy with, a strong dragon with a very powerful head and feminine blue eyes. At this point, the wings were bat-like, but when we showed the concept to the studio, they said that they really liked the wings of Angel in X-Men: The Last Stand, which they were producing at the time, and could our dragon have feathered wings? So, we revamped the concept to incorporate scaly wings, which took the whole design away from reptilians. In the end, it was a good thing as our dragon doesn't look like any other dragon in movie history."
The change must have occurred fairly late in development, considering that video game Saphira (her design being based off the concept art) looks like this.
Tumblr media
Baby Saphira has bat-like wings (most clearly seen on the underside), and fuzzy sceathers on top.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
However, as she grows up, her bat-like wings are completely encased in sceathers.
Tumblr media
Which, I find quite fascinating and wonderful!
True to their quote, I can't recall any movie/show dragon having the same type of wings Saphira has, considering most dragons have either bat-like or feathery wings, not a combination of both.
"In the book, Saphira is described as a giant blue dragon, a nice concept on paper, but a tough one to translate on screen. "We worked on the skin color a lot, trying to keep it blue, but still tweaking it to make it believable," Fangmeier notes. "There is no large animal in real life that has a vibrant blue color. We had to find just the right skin color, a subtle hue that would allow Saphira to appear in scenes that were lit in warm tones and not stand out. It was a real challenge."
Tumblr media Tumblr media
I think they did a wonderful job!
I personally like to believe that Saphira flies with (or is assisted by) magic, considering that she takes off like a rocket, and hardly needs to flap her wings.
Tumblr media
Link to the websites mentioned:
Well... I don't have anything more to add. So, thank you for making it to the end of this long post!

THIS IS NEWS TO ME -- CILIAN MURPHY USED TO PLAY WITH "STAR WARS" TOYS.
PIC(S) INFO: Spotlight on some revelatory news in the sci-fi/fantasy vein and how it pertains to who is possibly THE biggest male actor on the planet as of this moment in time -- summer 2023. 📸: Marco Grob for Universal Pictures.
"It’s never a surprise when “STAR WARS” is on a list of favorite movies, however dressing up as Han Solo for birthday parties (yes birthday parties, not Halloween) is the epitome of a true super fan. The unique personality of each character and how they interact and bond with each other is a reason that Murphy sets it aside from most mainstream films, noting that he cares more about characters and less about the plot of a movie. 
"I remember being completely transfixed by it,” Murphy said to Deadline, recalling the action figures and other “STAR WARS” toys he played with as a kid. “It’s always been the characters for me.""
-- INDIE WIRE, "Cillian Murphy’s Favorite Movies: "Scarecrow," "La Haine," and More Films the "Oppenheimer" Actor Loves," by Marcos Franco, July 31, 2023

"Piccadilly"
~Info~
• Name: Unknown • Stage name: "Piccadilly" • Race: Miqo'te - Keeper of the Moon • Age: 21 • Height: 5 fulm, 3 ilm (5'3, 160cm) • Weight: Slender/Ectomorph • Birthplace: The Black Shroud • Current Residence: Honour's Rest - Empyreum's 11th Ward • Sexuality: Bisexual [Male Leaning] • Relationship Status: Taken - Noe Moreaux [Mate] • Profession: But a humble Bard -- Ask me for a song!
(Art by @Pucksburrow)
Tumblr media
~Description~
A crown of striated, burgundy and ashen locks lay flamboyantly upon an affable visage. The curls delicately wrap at the pert, crimson ears which stand as mere lumps above the would-be sea of silky hair. The bright, sapphire gaze which peers out from this near curtain of red, remains stricken with quite the cocky stare. Soft and well rounded; both accurate terms to describe the delicate features this fledgling Miqo'te possesses. Smooth cheeks, meticulously unmarred by war -- save for a single scar at the corner of his mouth -- a rounded chin, and a pair of pale, thin lips from which two almost minuscule fangs spill forth.
Garbed in an array of grandiose silks, and linens, garb which is most often worn even in the warmest of summers, it's clear this man is quite the 'avante-garde' sort of individual. A momentary glance at the man may not provide much, but upon close inspection, one might notice that, even though tightly bound, the clothes seem to almost dangle off of his thin frame, as if it were two sizes too large. Clear notations that this bard has near naught in what one would describe as "Meat on his bones", a clear indication that, although relatively well traveled, the man knows not the tribulations of battle.

Traits –––-
* Bold your character’s answer.
   Extroverted / In Between / Introverted    Disorganized / In Between / Organized    Close Minded / In Between / Open Minded    Calm / In Between / Anxious    Disagreeable / In Between / Agreeable    Cautious / In Between / Reckless    Patient / In Between /  Impatient    Outspoken / In Between / Reserved    Leader / In Between / Follower    Empathetic / In Between / Apathetic    Optimistic / In Between / Pessimistic    Traditional / In Between / Modern    Hard-working / In Between / Lazy    Cultured / In Between / Uncultured    Loyal / In Between / Disloyal    Faithful / In Between / Unfaithful
Additional information ––––
   Smoking Habit: None.    Drugs: Rarely.    Alcohol: Frequently.
RP Hooks ––––
    Ishgardian: Is your character affiliated with the Holy See? Ishgard, in general? I'm sure Karliah will get along with them - she depended on it for so long. Even better if your character has defected or has issues with the church or Ishgard, she is quite curious to learn how people truly feel about Ishgard.
    Physician: If your character is sick, Karliah is your physician. She has mostly dealt with great wounds from battle, and is very skilled in field medicine, though that doesn't mean she can't care for chronically ill patients. She often travels with adventuring groups as a healer as well, so though she is very slow sometimes, she's always eager to help adventurers if they don't mind helping her along.    
    On the opposite side, if your character is also a healer or physician or what have you, they might notice how sickly she is at times. Getting Karliah to actually open up about any sort of illness she might have might be tough, but perhaps with enough pestering..
OOC ----
Hi!! I finally finished Karliah's Carrd and some of her character info. (All subject to change because I have a peabrain.) My OOC stuff is listed in the Carrd, but, please feel free to DM me on tumblr or on Discord (scamp#6947) if you have any questions or wanna talk or anything!!

FFXIAH SLICE BLUETAIL HOW TO
But for such a piscine specimen to be mistaken for a blade of pure metal. Doubtless it was a fish or similar sea creature of a more aggressive nature. Best of luck At least the other fish were easier. One day, I decided on a whim and caught it on second cast with shrimp lure. Blades do not emerge from the depths of the sea. I spent a few days there with SEVERAL casts, trying both shrimp lure and bluetail. The more superstitious of the common folk went stark mad, claiming that it was long-forgotten spirits from the Kingdom of Ephramad come to exact vengeance on the living. The young lad fainted from fright, and when he opened his eyes found himself surrounded on all sides by curious Qiqirns. Owners, operators, pilots, maintenance teams, prospective buyers & aviation lenders collaborating together. All aircraft records will be in one place, organized, searchable and shareable. A blade of the purest silver burst from the sea and came crashing down, threatening to cleave the vessel from stem to stern.

Each of these organizations assumes obligation for tasks in its sphere of expertise. For instance, the Ministry of Islamic Affairs, Endowments, Call and Assistance concerns special booklets on the rites of the Hajj in numerous languages for distribution amongst the pilgrims. checkout umrah packages all-inclusive of Health supervises medical services while the Ministry of Info hosts reporters and members of the media from other countries to cover the pilgrimage, while at the very same time arranging for live transmissions of the routines by satellite throughout the world.

Boycott the Hajj – POLITICO
It imparts in a Muslim not just the assurance that he has carried out the 5th pillar of Islam by following in the footsteps of the Prophet, however also the awareness that he becomes part of an ummah (country) that is more than one billion strong and spreads throughout the globe.
Unknown Facts About What is Hajj and Why is it Important? - Muslim Charity - ILM UK
The majority of pilgrims get here by air, and as their airplanes taxi towards the excellent Hajj Terminal in Jeddah, they pass jetliners with familiar names, but likewise ones that bear exotic markings such as "Southern China Airlines" and "Daghestan Airlines" and others from every part of the world. While waiting to be processed through the arrival hall, the pilgrim begins to shed his identity as he stands in the middle of a sea of people in Ihram, the two seamless pieces of white cotton that males use and the easy, usually white, attire that women use.

RP CONNECTIONS
Preferred themes: slice of life, adventure, angst, friendship, romance Willing to do mature themes (including NSFW) with 18+ writing partners. Please ask first!
SUPPORTING CHARACTER | Saeta was created to be a “NPC” in other people’s stories. She isn’t extraordinary, just an average citizen. She can act as a quest giver, goods supplier, local healer - or whatever else you may need.
BOTANIST | Saeta is a member of the Botanists’ Guild, and has a good rapport with its master, Fufucha. Recently, she has taken an interest in cross-breeding seeds. Any knowledge on the subject, or assistance acquiring samples, would be welcome.
HERBALIST | She’s relatively new to mixing herbal remedies, so she’s always experimenting. There’s a number of ways you could lend a hand: providing her with unfamiliar flora, tips from your own experiences, or even testing out a concoction.
HEALER | As a former adventurer, she’s no stranger to injuries. Maybe you’ve been attacked, and are now in need of her services. Whether it’s simply a scratch or far more dire, she would waste no time patching you up to the best of her abilities.
SHOPKEEPER | On certain days, you may find her at a stall in Gridania, where she sells her wares. She offers freshly picked plants, and handcrafted potions, including cosmetics. You could try to bargain, but be warned, she likes to haggle.
EXPLORER | She’s been to the main city states and their surrounding areas, but rarely ventures into more dangerous territories. Perhaps you could be her guide, or, if you would rather stick to safer terrain, just take a pleasant hike and enjoy the view.
STUDENT AND TEACHER | Do you have a skill you want to share, or are willing to pass along? She’s constantly curious, and eager to learn something new. It could be anything from playing an instrument to wielding a weapon.
OOC & CONTACT
My name, age, and time zone are listed in my blog description. Please refer to me OOC as Nat, not Saeta.
I’m available most days. I prioritize communication between writing partners, so I’ll let you know if I’m busy, and I hope you’ll do the same.
I believe in quality over quantity. Replies may vary in length, but I won’t leave you hanging with nothing to work with.
I’ve been roleplaying for 10+ years, but I’m new to this particular community.
I don’t actively follow the MSQ for FFXIV, so please be flexible with terms and lore. I’m just here to have fun!
While I’m mainly interested in acquaintance and friendship connections at the moment, I’d certainly consider others like rivals or enemies, old flames, distant family, etc.
I absolutely adore shipping. However, any romantic connection will require good, organic chemistry between our characters. Additionally, I do write smut, but only with chemistry and context.
Preferred writing platform: Tumblr, Twitter, Discord, and in-game (light sessions only).
Preferred contact method: Tumblr asks or messages, Twitter DMs, then Discord DMs for further discussion.
If you have any questions or are possibly interested, feel free to contact me, and I’ll get back to you as quickly as I can!

RP Hooks ––– –
Bartender/owner- Everyone needs time to relax and a space to do so. He closed his previous bar in the Lavender Beds and opened up a new one in Goblet by the name of “Renewal”. With help from his friends, they setup his new bar and office. His hope is to provide a place for adventurers to relax and unwind, as well as give himself a bit of peace of mind. Whether a new friend or an old one, you’ll find yourself welcome at “Renewal”
Adventurer- A free spirited soul, Rai tends to travel wherever work will take him. With a soft spot for sob stories, he’s willing to take on most jobs as long as he’s helping those in need. Are you a client in need of his services or maybe a fellow adventurer enlisting his aid? Setup an appointment and meet him in his office to discuss the details.
Training- Rai has had training from his parents at an early age, and in his later years Hamon took him under his wing. Learning a variety of fighting styles, Rai is always curious about new ones. Maybe your techniques caught his eye or you’re in need of a new sparring partner.  
Doma- Rai has actively been participating in reconstruction efforts in Doma. Generally helping with escorting supply caravans to the enclave as well as running tasks for the villagers, Rai does what he can to help those around him. Immersing himself in the culture, he can often be found wandering the streets of Kugane as well just taking in all the new sights.

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION –––
Smoking Habit: No.
Drugs: Not recreationally.
Alcohol: Fairly frequently now, but she was a teetotaller for years.
RP HOOKS –––
Brume Born: Tris was born in the squalor and rubble of Ishgard’s Foundation district. She has since escaped the life of many of her peers, and although she has fond memories of the Brume she seems to have little desire to return there. At least for now.
Mechanic and Junkmonger: Tris is fascinated by any form of magitek, and can often be found tinkering with ideas or improving upon the designs of others. She is always in the market for salvage and components, and can be hired to make modifications to weapons and devices.
Though much of her work is done aboard the Airship Andvari she can still be contacted through a postal box in Horizon, and is willing to travel for the chance at a particularly interesting piece of scrap or repair job.
A Leg to Stand On: A horrific childhood accident left Tris reliant on crude braces and crutches to get around. Only with her recent relocation to Thanalan was she able to replace her mangled legs with mechanical ones of steel and magic. Other amputees (with or without mechanical limbs) may have run into her in the past, and she is actively interested in meeting others that share the same struggles she has, or are in need of finely crafted prosthetics.
OOC INFORMATION –––
I’m a late 30 something lesbian who’s been around roleplaying off and on in MMOs for 20 years now. I like playing with glams, decorating my house, and taking a nap while Gaius yells about Eorzea. I’m pretty new to FFXIV and always happy to learn more about the setting and its lore!
I AM LOOKING FOR
LGBTQIA+ friendly RP groups
Storyline and long-term plots
Crafting and magitek related RP
Friends, colleagues, and rivals!
I’M NOT LOOKING FOR
Romance Roleplay or ERP
Extreme gore / body horror

HOW DO YOU HUMANIZE A SITH LORD? REMOVE HIS ARMOR AND PLACE HIM IN A BACTA TANK.
PIC(S) INFO: Spotlight on film stills of the Darth Vader/bacta tank scene from "Rogue One: A Star Wars Story" (2016), directed by Gareth Edwards. Cinematography by Greig Fraser -- visual FX by ILM.
"I'm jealous of moments like in "Empire Strikes Back" where you see the back of [Vader’s] head and you just go, "oh my God, that is so cool," and wanted to try and find something like that in our film. [The bacta tank scene] was actually a Chris Cunningham-inspired thing of the idea of being in milk [like in the Björk music video] "All Is Full Of Love." He’s really a burns victim, and it’s not going to be fun for him when he’s not in the suit – he’s going to be uncomfortable. I love the idea of showing that he’s vulnerable as well. Vader’s very, very bad, and so you try and just glimpse something of him that gives him some humanity, or it makes you empathize with him. Just seeing those scars and realizing that he’s, you know, an amputee, and just reminding you of that before he does all his stuff, it makes you torn, I think. He’s just such a rich character, in so many ways."
-- GARETH EDWARDS (writer/director) on "humanizing" Darth Vader in Rogue One's "bacta tank" scene

7. Speculate
Tumblr media
Rules & Info || Prompt List
Vashti Āl Hubasha - Radz-at-Han - Seventh Astral Era
Shoes beat the floor to an enthusiastic beat, as lanterns, set with fire crystals, flickered in the dark Thavnair eve. Reclining back into a heap of cushions, as so many others were at this very moment, pipe held gingerly between sepia fingers, Vashti gave it yet another drag. Coiling smoke billowed from painted lips, as they quirked into a smile, the scene before her bringing forth more amusement than any showperson had this eve. The dancing, common at anyplace in Radz-at-Han at the best time of times, didn’t have the wheeling skill of those who trained at that far off pavilion near the shore, though she didn’t doubt a dancer or four from the school had found their way here this eve, it was Najah’s particular behaviour once she’d imbibed enough alcohol that had her attention. Brought along as something of an entourage piece, she had the advantage of not being expected to do all that much, barring distracting a suitor or two to the Hubasha’s ever-single leader of house soldiery. There was, of course, a good reason, and one well known to many, though it never dissuaded any self-proclaimed trade prince or princess too egotistic to not ply their hand. 
As luck would have it this eve one had put himself forward, a third or fourth son of some middling oligarch, she’d place him, the face familiar, yet different to the heir apparent of that particular house. He was, currently, being swung around like a doll, something she attributed to either a disbelief of rumour, or perhaps an overestimation of strength or skill. The Hyur was a good match, perhaps better than the Hubasha woman could have hoped for, if it wasn’t for her particular distaste for such, or brutally terrible skill at dancing. For a Miqo’te, Najah looked  more a Basari in height than a Hubasha, stood at 5 fulms nine ilms, with a head of warm red hair, held back in gilt bangles, she cut a fine figure at any event, more so with her broad shoulders. Lionesque tail flicking and whipping around like a lash, and a good three or so drinks down, and Najah had sprung up from the cushions, declaring intent to join the frenzy, and join she had, given just enough berth by those who knew the onslaught to follow. It was harder still, for Vashti, not to let that smile grow, as amusing as it was, she still observed her standing, drink or no. 
As the man was spun unceremoniously that bit too fast, and left to fall back as the large Miqo’te lost her interest in this particular partner, Vashti was only left to speculate whether she simply did such on purpose, or by accident, or perhaps a mix thereof. The smile on the oligarch’s face told enough to say the former.
