"Eyes wet with tears, Her song in my ears"
A quick Ryne and Ysayle from earlier today! Return to Oblivion has been haunting my brain

Did the Eden raids storyline (which was a lot of fun), immediately thought of this the moment I watched the final cutscenes.
It's definitely nothing this time you guys, chill.

i finally finished the eden raids today, and i am full of so many feelings.
this really is a story just as much about ryne as it is about gaia. ryne making her own choices, and deciding what matters to her most. ryne realizing that while she will always love and cherish both thancred and urianger for what they have given her over the years, she doesn't need them to watch over or guide her anymore. that she will be fine, better than, even. they've given her many tools, and she will use all of those (figurative and literal, lest you think i didn't choke up when ryne used the gunblade to rescue gaia) to make her own life, her own way. you as the wol are there not as another guide or guardian, but as someone who supports her as she navigates this mission she's taken on in her own way.
this really is a story about gaia as much as it is about ryne. gaia finding out that who she is, who she wants to be, matters as much and maybe more than what she was. gaia learning to love and be loved. gaia deciding that even though she is choosing the now, choosing the future, she doesn't necessarily want to forget everything about the past. she's the embodiment of one of my favorite tropes done the best way i like it: the soulmate across time and space who when found, decides she's going to opt out this cycle. she's going to see what this life can offer her. while some part of her will always love and cherish mitron/artemis and what he meant to her for so long, she doesn't need him to be her protector anymore. she looks at ryne and says "i'd prefer this while i can have it."
what a beautiful story, full of love, hope, and self-discovery. about growing up, growing together, and even about moving on, but never forgetting. not really. things and people and events shape us into who we are, but it's like the land of the empty before you help restore it. the things that made you what you are do not have to be the whole of what you are. we're all made up of different elements, all in balance, and that is beautiful.

I've been bullied into posting about my interests more, so here we go
I've been slowly catching up on non msq content in FF14, so I'm only now getting to the Eden raids
AND HOLY SHIT RYNE AND GAIA ARE SO CUTE TOGETHER
When I first saw the ship I don't think I fully understood how adorable they are

This thing... I've seen somebody riding a version of this thing as a mount before.
(This post is stupid long, it covers 2/3rds of the Eden raids)
Huh. The person in armor wasn't part of the sin eater/voidsent/whatever that was?
Yeah, summoning voidsent on the First is an interesting ability. They don't have those here normally.
No... You're not suggesting...
BUT IT TURNS OUT HE WAS! It's our turn to summon primals!
Holy shit. The water came back!
I did both of Leviathan and Titan fights as a Bard, but I don't know how they expect you to do them as, say, a Black Mage. Because, like, I think that must be impossible. All the moving around... how the heck do you get a cast off?
Urianger, master of "I-keep-secrets-for-the-greater-good."
Hwhut.
That's a unique face. Terribly impractical shoes for walking on sand as well. Sometimes six-inch heels are not the answer.
Thancred, that's a terrible idea. We aren't even telling the other Scions what we're up to in the Empty and you've just decided to tell this random girl who I already had one boss fight with.
This "faerie" sounds like bad news to me.
*gasp*
You bitch!
Making Thancred carry your luggage is one thing (he's a big boy, he can say "no" if he wants to) but don't you dare insult Urianger! If you want on my bad side that's a damn fine way to get there.
Aww. I'm proud of you, Ryne.
And now you're being rude to Ryne? I know you've got your own traumatic shit going on, Gaia, but you're really not endearing yourself to me.
On a date?
Ah! It is a date!
Gaia you are SO rude.
I love me being so disheartened that Ryne got turned down for her date. That's some real mlm and wlw solidarity.
You can't go backward, so focus on going forward. Make new connections in there here and now. Like with Ryne.
Uh-oh.
...
Some of this stuff sounds like a metaphor for depression to me. But, I might be reading too much into that. Still, the sinking into darkness while wishing for the pain to stop is familiar.
Aww Ryne...
Hugs!
I think I support this ship. It's cute.
What. No. Absolutely not. That's the worst idea. The worst.
I told you! I told you this was a bad idea!
Gaia comes to her new girlfriend's rescue! Nice hammer.
Yay! Ryne gets her date!
...and I've got to advance the MSQ before I can find out how that goes for them.
