#ffxiv #vierapril #vierapril24 #oc: eyrie kisne #i should have a gpose tag #me grabbing the microphone this line of alphinaud's lives rent free in my head #do you ever think about how he treats them like a tool? like they are a puzzle piece in a game? #do you think about how his idealism was taken advantage of but also that alphinaud was already kinda an asshole? #not saying that he is evil or anything of that nature #but an asshole of a conceited young man who sees politics as a game he has won thus far #without the reprocussions of what it means that these are people with lives and families? #I THINK ABOUT IT A LOT #how much this one piece of dialogue shapes so much of his and WoLs relationship #anyway the dead bodies are livia + wilred + minfilia for reasons im still kinda rotating #something of livia representing the death of the empire as its great evil #but wilred and minfilia as innocents #wilred as the innocent who wanted the best for his people #and minfilia trapped as a victim to her dream of a greater tomorrow and the loss of humanity #anyway ARR right?
