this has been in my brain since i played through the "newfound adventure" content and i just had to draw it all out with my wol's current ot3 ship :) you know it's bad when i'm making fan comics too lol (i think i've only previously done that for dragon age). ofc the "quick" fan comic took me almost as long as the main piece (i finally got around to playing with csp's comic tools tho)

In From The Cold really got me going "I'm gonna write a fanfic where i go into detail about all the headcanons i have around my WoL, the hugs she give, and the complicated friendship she has with Thancred" SOLLY BECAUSE OF HIS DIALOUGE AND ALSO THE CONTRAST OF IT AND ESTININE'S!

oh no i'm gonna ramble and analyze it aren't i? yup!

obviously we know Thancred and Estininen have been possessed and used to cause harm before. Thancred is puppeted by Lahabrea and Estininen is controlled and inhabited by neihdhog. Estininen looks at you after seeing your body puppeted about by zenos and goes "I don't know what just happened, but don't do it again"

my guy. my dude. mr AZURE DRAGOON.

what do you MEAN??? YOU DON'T??? KNOW WHAT JUST HAPPENED???

and than Thancred. mother fucker. This man saw your body being possessed, saw you stumble around in a body that wasn't yours, push that body to the breaking point to save your friends. this mother fucker tells you "no apologies necessary, least of all to me" because HE HAS BEEN THERE he KNOWS what it is LIKE! "if anything its comforting to know i am not the only one to have been used by evil. But i pray you are the last" SHARED TRAMA! TRAMA BUDDIES!

❛ everything looks so beautiful from up here. ❜ [ For Estinien! ]

Assorted Dialogue Prompts || Accepting!

"You think so?" Estininen muttered. He did not hold any particular opinion on the Forelands, other than it was a region not smothered in a blanket of everfrost and infested with far too many Dravanians. His head tilted, as if trying to see what the Warrior of Light saw from the overlooked not far from the place known as Moghome.

...

No. No particular beauty stood out to him. It was mountains, rivers, forest. Nothing special. Though perhaps C'maru was unfamiliar with such surroundings. Either way, all he could do was lift his shoulders in a shrug.

He looked back to where the little lordling and Iceheart were being hounded by yet more Moogles.

"How much longer should we play their game?" he asked out loud, changing the subject. "We could likely have found this Hraesvelgr on our own by now if we had simply demanded this horn of theirs."

Slipped Away...

WOLSTINIEN WEEK 2023: Day 4 (Dragon) After the Aetherochemical Research Facility's events, the warrior of light witnesses Estinien's transformation into the great wyrm, Nidhogg. AO3 Link (Below the read more is the fanfiction directly off of AO3 <3 ~1500 words)

Aetherochemical Research Facility...

After's King Thordan's fall...

Thordan's greatsword, laid bare on the ground, its wielder's spirit departed... Sariel, a bit winded from her clash with the king himself, propped herself up using her staff and gave a large sigh.

"Sariel," Estinien rushed in to the last room, finally unsealed from the magics that barred him from rushing in before, trying to expunge the sense of concern from his voice, "Is it over, then? I had hoped that mine would be the hand to end it... but knowing you, there was little chance of that."

She sighed and knelt down and laid her staff at her feet, retrieving Nidhogg's eye herself from Thordan's blade. Before taking back to her feet, she took her staff into her hand again to steady herself with it. Her other hand firmly grasping Nidhogg's eye. She looked up to Estinien and handed over what she believed to be his to determine the fate of, "Aye. The king has been felled and Nidhogg's eye retrieved."

After Sariel had handed Estinien the eye plucked from Thordan's blade, she had stopped to take a breath, closed her eyes to rest for but a moment. Estinien took the eye, palming it over and examining it. A deep red haze seemed to emit from it... But it must have been his imagination. He was tired from the travels. He could remember a time where there wasn't a day that passed by that he didn't feel like he didn't see red already... But he believed that those times were behind him, and yet he could still remember it so vividly.

"Aye... it's twin, at long last. All that remains is to take them beyond the reach of man and dragon both. With this task accomplished, my toils shall finally be at an end." Estinien stated as he examined it alongside the other eye bequeathed to him before.

His hands suddenly became hot with aether, the sensation tearing up his arms through his veins like liquid fire. Estinien's mind clouded, a deep ancient speech rang through his mind. The words were indiscernible and yet he understood them precisely as Nidhogg had intentioned them... his toilings and demands, his words drenched in a layer of hatred as thick and black as tar. Estinien's body trembled as he felt his aether being torn asunder from within, losing his sense of self within the pain.

Instantly, a haunting chill ran up Sariel's spine. Her eyes snapped open and she rushed to try to meet Estininen's gaze from beneath his helm, "Estinen... Estinen?"

~"Thou hadst done well to resist mine influence, bathed in my power and blood as thou wert. Alas, in thine anticipation of comfort, thou hast lowered thy guard!"~ Nidhogg's voice echoed within Estinien's mind.

Estinien found himself flashed with a recent memory, one of Sariel. It seemed like only a few moons ago when they were within the Sea of Clouds. At the time he wanted to dismiss the feeling as a symptom of the high altitude, but the way that she looked at him beneath the bright sunlight... it stole his breath away and he felt dizzy. She turned to look at him with those rich orange eyes, one of them highlighted by a shining golden ring. Oh, and he couldn't help but get lost within them like a dragon reveling in his horde of gold. Then she had smiled at him and it felt like his heart had stopped...

The image of her was torn away, replaced with screams of anguish of the ones he lost before... His family, his home, his comrades... Reminders of his own loneliness and isolation. His anger was revived as a deep volcano stirred within once more, beginning to erupt from every pore in his body.

~"The keening of my fallen kindred... Their smoldering desire for vengeance... Mine eyes have partaken of a thousand years of pain--a pain which I shall bestow upon thee."~

In a moment's flash, he thought of what else he might lose... Sariel's voice rang through his mind as soft and distant as a windchime, calling out his name as she desperately tried to reach him...

~"Drink deep of my rage, mortal... AND BECOME ME!"~

She looked to the eyes, smoldering with a deep red aether that began to bleed up Estinien's arms. Sariel panicked, unsure what to do or how to help, she called for him louder. Her trembling hands dropped her staff to the ground so she could rip the eyes from Estinein's grasp. Before she could touch them, her hands froze then trembled in fear and hesitation. She called for him once more then lunged forward towards one of the eyes... but it was far too late.

"Get away from me!" a deep and strangled voice called out from within Estinien, a voice not quite his constricting his own.

Unable to control his body, Estinien lashed out, a partially draconic figure taking form. His armor twisted into wretched claws as he struck Sariel down trying to push her away. She couldn't help but to collapse down to her knees, clutching her wound and wracked with pain... Estinien, his humanoid form almost no longer his own, loomed over her. His body fought against his will, resulting in his malformed Elezen form to tremble and twitch. Estinien's eyes gazed down upon the companion he had struck down, eyes full of mournful regret, fear, and shock. Their eyes met and locked as they whisked themselves into one another's gaze, they began to drown in one another's anguish, both of them deadly afraid of losing one another.

He felt trapped within his body, but without control as he witnessed himself strike down Sariel. He was reminded of Nidhogg's threat--'a thousand years of pain...a pain which I shall bestow upon thee...' Estinien's body filled with a deep rage for Nidhogg and how he manipulated his body to hurt someone that he held dear to his heart. Yet, he was filled with a deep fear of feeling helpless as he did when he was a child... When Nidhogg took his family from him, his village from him. He cowered, his frame hunching over Sariel, menacing. Estinien's soul recoiled within himself as he crumbled under the pain of a thousand images of those whom he lost and a million images of the ways he could lose the rest. Tears streamed down his face like rivers as his eyes bled into a striking draconic red.

"Estinien please! Thou aren't alone! Please, do not succumb to the wyrm's silvered tongue!" Sariel cried out to him, tears flooding her eyes as she witnessed Estinein's body burst, tear, and change before her. She remained collapsed on the ground, grasping her fresh chest wound.

None of her words reached him, for his ears rang from Nidhogg's deafening voice and roar, all too overpowering. Estinien's mind, overcome and overstimulated by Nidhogg, his body had followed. He screamed, deep anguish and suffering apparent from within, as he transformed into the great wyrm himself, Nidhogg. His flesh and armor tore at their seams, the distinct sound of rending flesh and metal echoing through the tower. Estinein's abhorred eyes reflected that of the frightened child within. Those crimsoned eyes remained affixed on Sariel, pouring with tears and screaming out silent apologies. Estinien roared out again and as quickly as he transformed, the dragon had spread his wings and propelled himself skywards through an opening in the tower windows.

Sariel called out his name once again hoping there was a chance he could hear her, but she knew otherwise. She stared for what felt like ages into the sky above Azys Lla. Tears welled and overflowed again and again. She felt it. She felt so close to him opening up. She felt him growing. He was no longer a slave to his own hatred and vengeance seeking, and yet... She fell forward on her hands, slamming her fists down.

She screamed out in anguish, pounding her fists to the ground repeatedly, knuckles beginning to bloody, "Why him... Why must some of us never heal... Why does he need to be a warden of such suffering... such loss..."

Sariel choked and sobbed on her hands and knees at the peak of the Aetherochemical Research Facility for what felt like forever to her. Eventually, she slowed her breathing, collected her staff, and used it to prop herself up on her feet. Her staff doubled as a walking stick so she could steadily make her way towards the exit, her other hand held to the wound that Estinien had struck across her chest... Midgardsormr offered words of wisdom and kindness towards her, but alas, it felt flat as her mind wandered out towards him. She knew that she could bring him back to her... She knew that he was still in there.

i like how you go to the bazaar, witness what is clearly an ongoing con and then the camera innocently pans to your himbo boyfriend with a penchant for overpaying for junk and your wol feels deep in their bones, "oh nooooooo, ESTINIEN BBY DON'T" (spoilers: he did)

this is going to be long trip...

can’t go two steps without someone summoning a primal. Why is it always ascians, they really do take “if at first you don’t succeed, try try again” to heart. I do find the Vath who have been separated from the hivemind experiencing individuality for the first time to be very very good.

why are the plans always like this.... fine fine fine, main character powers activate!

Ysayle’s a great character.

Lot’s to unpack here the least of which is grown ass man Estininen bullying a teenager.

me @ estinien: why are you like this

1. Why do we need to pass through Sohm Al to begin with? can’t we go around?

ok I looked it up. the churning mists refer to the space around the summit so either way we need to go up. That said since its a series of floating islands, we are going to have to fly anyways so I still don’t see why we have to go through sohm al, why not just fly straight up?

2. Killing Tioman seems like a bad idea. I mean if we want to ask for parley with Nidhogg, killing his beloved sounds like a bad idea. I mean just entering the dragon’s final resting place and holy grounds where we aren’t welcome seems like a bad idea in general both from an ethics standpoint and a political one.

3. Why is Estinien still here. I want an option to send him back to Ishgard. nothing good is going to come of this and Vidofnir’s warning is especially ominous given how estinien got controlled by the Eye once already.

4. these two are still at it. Bless Alphinaud’s little soul.

5. I want a stealth mission option!

6. Stop making me kill dragons to progress the plot! This feels like the second half of Nier all over again.
