Some Halloween headcanons for ARR
Dawn Faction
Koga
Gets invited to Halloween parties
Likes that he can attend them without having to wear a suit
He dresses up and covers his face with a mask so people don't recognize him easily
To his annoyance, Toichiro can still recognize him
Asks his maid to pack some candies for the kids who would swing by his house
Kuya
Lets his wings out on full display since people would just think it's his costume
People stare because it looks so realistic (it is real *wink wink*)
Kids would ask to touch it to which he promptly replies, "No"
Kids have to shout to wake him up since he is usually found sleeping on the veranda instead of handing out the treats at Koga's house
Aoi
Goes all out with his cooking to make sure there are a variety of sweets they can hand out
He tries to make Western sweets since it is a Western holiday - he also puts his art skills to use by designing them
Asks Yura to taste test for him. He is grateful to Yura despite his grumbling when Yura asks for more
Also decorates Raccord to give it the Halloween vibe
"Oji-san, lend me a hand!"
Ginnojo
Also packs candies at his shop
Kuro helps him out with the packing
He displays books with spooky stories since they seem to be popular during this time
"Do I really have to wear this?"
Gets this soft look on his face when he hands out treats
Yura
Volunteers to help with packing candies at Raccord since he's got nothing better to do.
Works as the taste tester when Aoi tries to recreate Western sweets.
"Pray, Sir Aoi, this "cookie" tastes good! Can I have some more?"
Eats more than the candies that he packed.
On Halloween, he takes on his child form, dresses up and lines up with the kids to ask for treats.
Twilight Faction
Toichiro
Also gets invited to Halloween parties
Dresses up like a prince
Likes to annoy Koga since he can easily recognize him
Sticks to Koga since these types of parties do not require them to make their rounds
Still as polite as he can usually be when people approach him
Shizuki
Babysits Kogare since Kogare visits on Halloween
Packs candies with Kogare
"Kogare, hide your ears and tail." To which Kogare replies, "But why is Kuya-san allowed to show his wings?!"
The one who hands out the treats at Toichiro's manor since Kogare also makes his rounds to other houses
Kuro
Helps out at Raccord and Kusanagi Books during candy packing
Also joins in on the fun when Aoi has new sweet samples
Performs in front of Raccord and Kusanagi Books on Halloween
He does it for the promotion of their Halloween show later that night
"If you like what you see, watch the show of Lorenzi Circus Troupe tonight and be whisked away to a night filled with mystery!"
Oji
Always seems to be busy 'entertaining' his customers so he barely helps Aoi with packing candies
He thought he could get away with not wearing a costume so the Raccord gang had to force him to wear something for Halloween
"Aoi-chan, 1 pack of candy for the young lady here"
Gaku
Also helps out at Raccord since Yura is there
Makes tiny trinkets like jack-in-the-box and Chinese finger trap and drops them randomly inside the candy packs
Heaps wasabi on top of the sweets so he can eat the same thing as Yura
Holds back his laughter when he sees the children find themselves trapped in the Chinese finger trap.
"Do you need help with that?"

Ariane does apologize to Alphinaud, and is really adamant that it's not all his fault, when they get to Coerthas and Haurchefant takes them in. She will always regret that she didn't voice her misgivings more loudly, and there's some complicated reasons why she didn't.
Ariane loves the Scions, but also kind of struggles to feel like she's really one of them. They may call her the Warrior of Light and put all kinds of faith in her, but they also have all this shared history and memories that she doesn't. They're all out here with their Archon tattoos and their memories of Master Louisoix, and she's this adventurer they pulled off the street because she's got the Hydaelyn headaches, for reasons she still doesn't understand. They're a bunch of Sharlayan scholars and she's a hick from the Twelveswood. They don't treat her that way, but she feels it anyway. She still feels like an unqualified outsider. So when everyone else seems to think the Crystal Braves are a great idea, she makes some vague noises of hesitation but doesn't really feel confident enough to speak out loudly.
And gods above, does she wish she had.

Start of Redemption
ᒥ🐙ᒧ—         Finally, his fever from the infection broke a few days prior, but the wound itself was not healed, trapping the eccentric man on bedrest for awhile longer.
He sucks in a breath, feeling the burning pain of a bullet passing through his abdomen. Shot. Edward, shocked by the feeling overwhelming him stumbles back. He hits the railing of the ship and falls over into the water below that swirled with a sinking naval ship. A line form the ship's rigging wraps around his ankle and his wrist dragging him down with the warship that sunk.
Had it not been for Stede, Edward certainly wouldn't be all patched up, alive, and laying in this bed. But that wasn't what was on his mind, no. His mind swirled with all he done leading up to the battle with the British Navy. The agony he not only felt himself, but inflicted upon his crew-once-friends.
Bedridden meant you were left to your own devices, and Edward spent all of his time tormenting himself with reliving what he believed were his final thoughts.
He see flashes of the night he strangled his father, turning him into the very thing he sought to destroy. His time on Hornigold's ship where he was whipped to the point of bleeding should he so much as look at his captain wrong. And then he sees flashes of his own treatment of his crew, where they walked on eggshells around him as he spiraled further and further into madness. He became the monster those men were, he was no better.
His features twist into a cringe, and a tattooed hand rises to rub away the headache he felt coming on from his temple. A monster, the Kraken, the Devil...Those words repeated over and over in his skull, making him feel sick with overwhelming guilt. Guilt wasn't something unprecedented for Edward, what was unprecedented was his inability to escape from it. Opium, alcohol, and violence were his means of escape, but stuck on bedrest he was left without any of those options to numb himself.
"Fucksake..." He groans, pushing himself slowly to sit up while trying to not aggravate his gunshot wound. Tangled, knotted hair falls down his back covering the skull and snake tattoo, but leaving his 'TRUST NO ONE' tattoo still exposed. Ed had too much energy, and the more he was stuck feeling his guilt the more restless he grew. He hoped a change in position would ease something, but as he stared blankly at the wall in front of him, Ed realized there truly was no escape.
The feeling, the guilt, was overwhelming. His chest felt tight making air hard to draw in, a feeling of anxious energy overtakes his limbs leading to him moving his legs around endlessly, it was not a comfortable feeling. He craved some kind of vice, something to just make it go away.
It wouldn't come. He wished to rip the room apart, but a simple twist to move off the bed saw a sharp pain shooting up his side, leaving him gasping for air and tensing up.
"Fuck, fuck, fuck..." He curses, reluctantly laying himself back down to see if the ache of his injury would subside. And, it did, but to a dull, throbbing pain. Now he wished he had the opium for more than just the guilt.
Brown eyes stare at the ceiling of the cabin, looking almost through the wood as if his mind was off somewhere else. And it was, he was back to spiraling down his path of regret. All his choices leading up to this point had been wrong, stupid, and irrational. Dammit, he was a problem-solver, but when it came to his own messes he mind seemed to draw blanks. What would make it stop if he couldn't get to a vice? Would it ever stop? Or, was this the misery he sought to escape to begin with?
Edward pinches the bridge of his nose and sighs, finding himself thinking in circles now. He wished, for a small moment, he wished he wasn't alone in the cabin. Someone, anyone as company would be nice...But who would come to see the monster? Stede, who had been up his ass since he was lucid, but he didn't wish to see Stede...Not yet. That wound was still too fresh...Izzy? Unlikely, he shot off the guy's leg. The thought makes Edward's chest tighten again, and he feels as though he'd be ill at any moment.
No one. He was alone in this battle, utterly alone...And he had done this to himself. There was no denying how all the consequences of his actions seemed to pile up on him. Maybe that was why he felt a weight on his chest.
And there was no escape.

What hobby are they good at in private, but bad at in front of others? Why?
Honestly I can't really think of a hobby of hers she'd be worse at in public systematically - maybe it would happen at times with any of them because she got distracted by whoever she's with, or wanted to show off a bit too much, but that's about it. I just don't think she'd be nervous or shy about any of her hobbies...
Something she is systematically worse at in front of others however would be reading and writing! Doesn't really answer the question because it's not a hobby for her, and she's not really good at it in private. She can read and write, but slowly. That didn't bother her much before joining the Scions, but given that they're pretty much all scholars, she does feel a bit stupid about their difference of skill on that subject.
If she can, she will avoid doing that in front of them - if she finds what looks like a promising book for instance, she'll hand it over for them to read. She also prefers to be alone when she has to write a report. When she has to do that in front of them, she'll try to go faster to compensate, but it just end up making the fact that she has some issues with it even more obvious.

What brand of stupid are you?
Tumblr media
Blissfully stupid
They say ignorance is bliss and by god you are living your best life. You skip merrily into a bear's cave to pet it as your friends scream at you to run. The world is beautiful and everyone is your best friend, nothing can possibly go wrong! You are incredibly curious and probably believe in magic. This isn't to say you're an innocent little baby, just that you see the world in a more positive light then most. You face danger with a smile, not because you are particularly brave but because you don't know there's danger to begin with.

Sib's thoughts on Yugiri
Imma be real with you here, Sib did not give Yugiri her full attention when she first came to the Scions. its not that Sib didn't feel sympathy and didn't want to help she was just very much in her own little world where she was trying to handle her own problems, aka her relationship with Thancred. This didn't leave the best first impression on Yugiri but the woman could see Sib meant well just was always preoccupied, and admittedly Sib did give her a cold shoulder for a week after Leviathan because she was convinced that she and Thancred were havin' some fun. Sib was very shallow and selfish and that didn't reflect well on anyone.
Fast forward to the Heavensward and Sib is very grateful for her having kept Tataru safe and becoming their eyes and ears. Yugiri checked up on Demos and that was something Sib didn't think to do and looking back is pretty sure that had Yugiri not done that he would have left after Haurchefaunt's death and stayed gone. Yugiri much like Demos became this source of stability and reassurance in a very turbulent time for her. She was genuinely sad that Yugiri had to leave to go back to Doma as she felt she missed her chance to get to know her and treat her like she should have when they first met.
In Stormblood she did take the time to speak with her more and felt a connection in their shared experiences of being a stranger in a strange land looking the way they do, especially up in Coerthas. There was a friendship there and understanding in her anger and wanting to do all they could to win back their home, but it wasn't all serious. It was through these conversations that Sib found out how much Yugiri liked Demos and he was pretty obvious in his feelings so it made her go into matchmaker mode, which didn't pan out quite like she hoped (yes in her mind at some point the two of them would kiss on the battlefield confessing their love and then promptly kick some ass).
The two overall get a long really well, but there's an acknowledgement that they just aren't quite two people that mesh for the same kind of relationship that Yugiri and Demos have as friends, before the feelings kicked in. Sib is also very happy for the two of them and finally getting together and enjoying their time with one another. She does ask that Demos let her have a role in the wedding though because she felt she contributed a lot to their relationship happening (yes on the flip side Thancred also thinks he played a big role. No neither of them really did but you try telling them that).

You know after reading Yakumo's main story, I have this headcanon:
If it were Gaku's route she would definitely drink that potion, at least I would if I were in her shoes 🥺
Just so she won't have to leave him ever again.
Sorry to Yakumo for using him that way tho

Pairing: Kuro x gn!reader | Ayakashi Romance Reborn Rating: General C/Ws: Modern AU, fluff, established relationship. Word count: 2k A/N: Thank you so much to @lost-khione for beta reading this <3 It really helped me transform this idea into a more rounded one-shot!
A rush of cold wind made you shiver, and you gripped the handle of your suitcase tightly. You were starting to feel the tiredness in your body after the trip, and the fact that it was already dark out wasn’t helping. You wanted to lie down already.
“Why is it that the GPS still doesn’t show our current position?” Kuro sighed next to you. “I’m sorry we’ve been walking for so long and I still haven’t figured out where we are on the map. Maybe we should’ve bought one of those portable Wi-Fi devices.”
“It’s okay, Kuro. I’m just glad you did download the maps beforehand. I suck at navigation anyway. I trust you.”
“Yeah, but it shouldn’t be this hard, I’m sure you’re tired and instead of taking us to the hotel quickly—”
You stopped walking, forcing him to stop a step ahead of you and look back.
“Kuro, it’s fine. I’m happy this is our first trip together. And I’m glad I’m here with you, and not strolling alone in a city I don’t know at night.”
Kuro’s shoulders slouched down.
“Yeah. I’m here with you.” He put his phone away for a second, hiding it in the back pocket of his jeans. “We’re having some fun time together exploring the city already. We’re not lost, we simply couldn’t wait until tomorrow!” He took your free hand and intertwined his fingers with yours.
You felt him squeezing not just your hand, but also your heart. There it was, the way he always dropped everything whenever you expressed you needed him.
“Doesn’t this remind you of old times?” He flashed a mischievous smile at you, confusing you. “The trip we took with our friends. We also got lost then, just the two of us.”
Images flashed through your mind. You had just been friends at that time, but perhaps your friends had already plotted to bring you two together. Or perhaps it had been fate.
You two had been tasked with going out to buy food to bring back to the apartment. That time, you hadn’t even been able to check the map once you were outside, and you wandered through the streets until you found a fast-food restaurant. It had felt like an adventure, being in a different country, searching the streets to find what you were looking for.
On the way back, you had to pass by a group of guys on the street, and even if you didn’t understand the language, you knew they were throwing distasteful remarks at you. At the time, Kuro had held your hand and stared them down, which didn’t make them shut up at all, but at least you had felt safe. Now, he held your hand for completely different reasons, but the sense of safety was the same.
You looked at Kuro and felt that even if it was cold and dark out, there was nobody else you’d rather get lost with. Squeezing his hand a bit more tightly, you focused on the sensation of your fingers intertwining with his.
When you finally reached the small apartment you had rented out after some trial and error through adjacent streets, Kuro left you with the luggage and quickly left again to search for a shop that was still open so late at night. You had miscalculated the time you would spend on transport – and on finding your apartment. Just when you had sighed with relief after opening the door, your body decided to roar loudly and make it clear how hungry you were.
“Hehe, I’m hungry too,” Kuro had whispered with a soft smile on his face. It was just the two of you in that small apartment, and hearing his hushed voice made your stomach twist for completely different reasons than your hunger. Or perhaps they weren’t so different after all.
“You sure you don’t want me to go with you?” You asked as he placed a gentle kiss on your forehead before he went back outside.
“It’s fine, you’re tired anyway. And I’d rather you did some research for our schedule for tomorrow.” He flashed you a smile and closed the door.
We should’ve just bought something on our way here, you thought. But truth was, you couldn’t even remember if there had been any restaurants on your way there, focused as you were on finding the names of the streets that would lead you to the apartment.
You looked around the room, doing things like organising your toiletries in the bathroom and hanging some of your clothes in the closet. Then you settled down on the small sofa to check the plans you had spent a week making.
It wasn’t long when you heard the door and Kuro’s cheerful voice followed by a delicious smell.
“I’m back,” he chirped. He almost tripped in the entrance and wanted to laugh. You had gotten his slippers out and placed them close to the door, but he hadn’t been expecting it. It was such a simple thing, but in his eyes, it was proof of how thoughtful you were, and how you were constantly showering him with attention. It made him think of how someday, you wouldn’t rent an apartment abroad together, but you’d do it in the city you lived.
You quickly got to him and took the bag with food from his hands, going to the kitchenette. You took some plates out and put the food in them. The feeling of Kuro embracing you from behind startled you, although you should’ve been used to it by now. In unison, you sighed. You hadn’t hugged since the last time you had gone on a date and stayed over at his place. You were still living apart, and every day proved to be as difficult as the first when your bodies were craving this shared warmth. You relaxed against his chest, and he nuzzled his face in the crook of your neck.
“I love you so much,” he spoke against your skin, tickling you.
“I love you too, Kuro.” You forgot about the food and covered his arms on your stomach with yours. “I missed you.”
“We have been almost all day together! I’ve only been gone for what, 20 minutes?” He giggled.
“I missed hugging you,” you admitted nonchalantly. He raised his head and freed one of his arms from under yours, raising it to your face and gently guiding you towards him. You shared a slow kiss.
When you broke free from it, you felt Kuro’s breath on your face when he spoke. “Do you need to text your family?”
“You’re thinking of my family right after we kissed?” The disbelief was loud and clear in your voice, and his words made you want to break from his embrace.
“Well, I promised them I’d take good care of you.” As if sensing your intentions, he squeezed you tighter between his arms and gave you a heart-melting smile. “How am I doing so far?”
Kuro briefly touched his nose to yours before you broke the contact by looking down.
He was only speaking about this morning, when you had met at the airport and your family had called you to wish you a safe trip. Kuro had asked to speak to them for a second, and had promised them he’d take good care of you. He only meant for this trip, he wanted to reassure them, but somehow it made you imagine that one day, he would be repeating those words to your parents for completely different reasons.
Feeling heat creeping up your cheeks, you decided to hide your thoughts by teasing him.
“Sometimes I think you think of my family more than you think of me,” you muttered under your breath. His fingers on your cheek guided your face back to look at him.
“Hey,” his breath tickled your lips. “That’s not even near being true.” Kuro smiled gently, making all your discomfort and tiredness from the day melt away. Before you knew it, your lips were moving to form a smile that mirrored his. His soft giggle warmed your heart while one of his hands found your cheek and traced your skin with his thumb. He lightly pecked your other cheek, tickling you. “But they seemed kind of anxious this morning when they said goodbye to you over the phone.”
“I should’ve texted them instead.” You sighed, slouching against him. Even you were way past those farewells.
“Well, they just need to get used to you being far away from home. The more we travel together, the more it will become a norm.” He titled your head slightly, exposing your neck. “Although it won’t make it stop being special.” Kuro traced your skin with gentle kisses, from your jaw to the beginning of your clothes. “And one day, home will be wherever we decide.”
“Oh.” You turned in his arms, now facing him with a questioning look. “Is this a proposal?” He smiled at you while slowly running his hands up and down your back.
“It’s just a heads-up.” His hands stopped at your hips, pulling you closer to him.
“I see how it is, huh.” You put some distance between your faces, feigning annoyance.
“Well, the real thing will be much more romantic.” Kuro swayed a little as if dancing to music. You giggled, unable to keep a straight face. He always had a way of turning anything into a playful event full of joy. “Not that take-out for dinner during our trip isn’t romantic.” He looked behind you, where the food lay forgotten and was already starting to get cold.
Letting go of each other, you turned your attention back to getting ready to eat dinner.
“Thank you for getting the food, by the way,” you said while opening the boxes. Kuro looked over at you while getting the glasses.
“It’s nothing,” he replied. But the fond smile on his face was quietly whispering ‘Anything for you, my dear.’
The following days were spent sightseeing, discovering beautiful buildings, vibrant plazas and delicious food. On your final day, Kuro insisted on taking more pictures of you than usual.
“We have been taking plenty of pictures, plus, it’s more fun if both of us are in the picture!” You argued.
“It’s not the same. I don’t want all the pictures to be selfies. And I didn’t take enough pictures of you!” He pouted, making those eyes he knew made it incredibly difficult for you to refuse him.
You hesitated, feeling shy but also flattered.
“Then I’ll also take pictures of you!”
And so the competition to see who got more pictures of the other started. It began with you two just trying to surprise each other and take random shots, but as you had more and more fun, it helped you stop being so camera-shy and you started posing for Kuro, delighting him. And you also got some pictures of him like that.
“It’s not fair, you look like a model! The camera loves you!” You said while looking at the pictures you had taken over the trip during the flight back home. Kuro giggled next to you and planted a quick kiss on your cheek.
“Look, this is my favourite picture of us.” He showed you one of the selfies you had taken, where you both looked smiley and relaxed. It made you think it truly represented the people you were together. “You are so gorgeous.” The compliment made you feel bubbly inside.
“We can print this picture and hang it next to our beds?”
“Oh! I love that idea! I’ll get to see your beautiful face first thing in the morning.” Kuro smiled, taking your hand in his and gently squeezing it.
With that, your first trip as a couple ended, but it was the first of many more. At the time, descending from the plane saddened you and made you want to turn back time. But fortunately, the course of time cannot be stopped, and in time you two returned to that city again, to celebrate your anniversary.

getting to the part in stormblood where it’s just like. hrmmmmmmmmmmmm I remember why I don’t like this part
#after doma castle it’s starts falling apart for me in the narrative engagement#I’ve enjoyed the Anata stuff but I wish it was better introduced and talked about more#like I dunno if we knew about them more when we saw stuff in rhalgars reach#i dunno I just. the highs have been very good but the lows are just so. low#I dunno one thing that frustrated me to no end is sle#*something small but#after taking the bridge in the fringes#you go out and you half to look for imperial stragglers#and you end up killing them and it just Bent Me Out of Shape#like we had to kill tnem?? they had to die?? the warrior of light had to go off and look for this rather than. you know#moving with the main host of people off towards the final destination??#we had to stop and go back and look for enemies to fight like this is some go kill xyz like in ARR#moving into the headcanon/subjective part of it#but eyrie wouldn’t do that! there is no sense of accomplishment or joy in picking off imperial troops#many injured by the fight. and just to go and kill them rubs eyrie the wrong way#they’re at a very angry and fragile mess returning back to ala mhigo#and to go around slaughtering injured/lost/straggler imperials is a hard no#they have soldiers for that. the alliance can do that#it’s one of the few times in stormblood where they speak up and are harsh about it#lyse’s treatment of fordola being another#to eyrie—fordola isn’t some great evil#even not knowing anything about her personally she is a martial threat and a player/pawn in this game#this is war and she has her duty#I just…it’s bad when eyrie in all their resilience has to put their foot down on a topic#maybe one day I’ll make a list of my personal issues w stormblood narratively and character wise#owen plays ffxiv

I read a fic recently about a WoL that had to fight off some Aevis dragons during the time they stay at Dragonhead.
Ivy 100% also did this in my canon. Haurchefant was completely beside himself about it. He couldn't possible ask her to do that! To which Ivy just responses "You're not asking me, I'm offering! This is my home now too, I'm implied to defend it!"
