Whywolf 🐺 [Gone Shiny Hunting] ✨

Isuka was originally Raen before I changed her to Xaela and I decided that change in scales would be the first piece of her canon. In order to explain it I decided she was a mix of both, and in looking for a Xaela tribe that would fit I found the Malaguld. They're one of the many... 🧵(1/8)

Isuka has almost assuredly done this once or twice but, having nearly cut off half of her tail with her own spear in a hunting accident in the Steppe before she left home, she's very protective of it in general and typically keeps it tucked close.

...Mol that the Malaguld started to be more well known, especially since her sister with Raen scales fought with her. Now her mother, recently named the tribe's new Khatun, is focused on making them appear strong to dissuade any aggression from more traditionalist tribes. 🧵(8/8)

...save for trips to Reunion for supplies, which are generally made primarily or exclusively by members with Xaela scale colors to draw even less attention. For this reason, the tribe also doesn't participate in the Naadam.

It wasn't until Isuka returned and participated on behalf of the... 🧵(7/8)

...their tools and weapons, they ensure that no one individual ends up the sole practitioner of any of these skills so that they are not completely lost when that person is gone.

As a tribe that breaks social norms of the Steppe, the Malaguld try to avoid interactions with other tribes... 🧵(6/8)

...back to old camp sites over time.

I also decided that, in order to maintain these skills over generations, the Malguld have a strong focus on self-reliance. By making sure that every member plays some role in the making of their food, the crafting of their clothes, and the forging of... 🧵(5/8)

...blend practices from Hingashi, Doma, and the Steppe into something wholly unique. This also means they've collected knowledge of foreign trades over time, adopting new cooking and crafting techniques and introducing new herbs to the Steppe that could be harvested as the tribe circles... 🧵(4/8)

...main color since it closely matches the blue scales of female Xaela and could represent every member of the tribe being embraced by the Dusk Mother, be they true Xaela or foreign Raen.

And since the tribe takes in Raen foreigners, I decided that they have very eclectic traditions that... 🧵(3/8)

A screenshot of Isuka prior to the main story when she was still home in the Azim Steppe. She's wearing a long robe adorned with tassels and various patters, long laced leather gloves with metal plating on the back of the hands, and an almost cylindrical leather hat with a bit of cloth hanging to the left of her face, all dyed a dark blue. In her left hand she holds an ornate metal spear with matching blue accents.

...tribes with zero representation in the game, and the only official lore about them is that they "accept people of the Raen into their circle."

I looked around the Azim Steppe to study different tribal gear before putting this set together as theirs. I settled on Woad Blue as their... 🧵(2/8)

So Halloween is my favorite holiday but I also never do anything for it; I just love the seasonal vibes around the internet. So the day itself often really sneaks up on me. Like wtf do you mean October is almost over already?! 🫠

Isuka smiling at the camera as her new shiny slowpoke sleeps next to her. A normal slowpoke is wandering in the background, contrasting its typical pink color with the shiny one's light purple.

They fixed Slowpoke's shiny?! They do have the technology! Now fix all the other terrible shinies that barely change anything! 🫠

Seconded! These expressions are so good! 💜

An Au Ra (Aysel) on top of an Elezen (Sturm); they're both laying on a red bench with red roses & bushes in the background. The light from a stained glass window is to the left; there's windows in the background too. Aysel's got blood dripping from their mouth (vampire vibes) and has an open-mouthed grin; Sturm has a bite on his neck and has a dazed/flushed look on his face. TFW you let your partner get a little *too* into their costume

Lkhagvasuren in full murder-machine mode gives off a particularly unhinged vibe, with some additional fun horror vibes for flavor.

Lizard slumber party?! 👀

THANK YOU SO MUCH!! 💜 And that's a huge compliment bc it's very much not easy for me lol! Even with importing poses from XMA as a base, I spend hours pushing and pulling things, hating it, and starting over. That and camera angles are things I do purely by vibes and am never confident about. 😅

It looks great on her, and that expression in the 4th one is so good!

BOTH @ascianblood.etheirys.social AND @loveslegacy.etheirys.social DID SUCH A FANTASTIC JOB I LOOOOOOOOVE THESE SO MUCH

how raiding in ffxiv sounds to me

It's kinda poetic that the first random shiny I bump into after getting the shiny charm is the same as my first full odds shiny. And now I've finished the Spinarak line lol.
