#i don't even think i had done the hydaelyn fight when i decided he got a hydaelyn eye but boy was it a convincing argument in favor

King tell me about the transgender catboy's eye color (??)

so if you look at these two images:

you may notice. in one the catboy has teal-green eyes and in the other one is light blue and one is (as close to) red (as i can get in the character creator)

the green is his original eye color, which lasted through the end of the most recent expansion (though i'd been thinking about changing it starting at the end of shadowbringers, and decided it was happening near the end of endwalker).

in short: sometimes god dies and leaves you in charge, and unrelatedly you carry your boyfriend's soul and memories around in your pocket (this is a plot point) for long enough that his bloodline eye color rubs off on you--or to quote me from when i was first thinking about this idea,

sometimes you are gay and also carry a fraction of your boyfriend's soul around in your pocket for long enough that maybe you get to be a bit allagan too

(allagan catboy to allagan catboy communication) (the red eyes is the allagan thing)

god is both a person and a rock: but the blue is Her Color

from after you kill her to prove you're strong enough to kill the thing threatening the entire universe bc she tests your worth even though doing this fight is the end of her strength:

the red eye happened at the end of 5.3, because that's when the putting the allagan catboy in your pocket happens. but an argument could be made for the blue eye being either at the end of 5.0, from the absorbing another piece of Azem but on purpose this time, or after the hydaelyn trial--though i think after the hydaelyn trial is more compelling, and also fits close to the timeline of when i actually fantasia'd: after i finished endwalker
