aww that's such a sweet photo!! 😭 and yes, to me that's actually a really big deal he's seeing them several times a year?! because you can really interpret the lore like they're super reclusive and don't talk to a single soul for a very long time... so my heart is warmed to see this 😭

i remember a few years back people liked my concept of visiting m!viera wearing veils to conceal their identities... mayhap needs revisiting

(straining my mind if there was anything about viera fatherhood... i don't recall)
my hc is that everyone gets raised by the community and just sees themselves as children of the forest regardless of parentage

like the thing is... it's old lore by now and i feel anything the wandering dramaturge said maybe needs to be taken with a grain of salt nowadays... anyway this part has always been an elephant in the room for me and i was glad to see it for shunye (although he's shetona which is slightly different)

also i've been plotting timelines and now i'm curious... if other ppl with m!viera that have wood-warder history followed the lore part of "returning to the village to mate" 👁️👁️ how many of you are actually fathers!!! do they know their children!!!!?

the idea of veenas making good GSMs because they have an eye for gemstones and raph quietly making jewellery with "protective qualities" for apollo (that incidentally just happen to be very pretty and matches his taste) until one day it's a ring-

- and that makes paras excited to grow up too i'm like NOOOOO 😭😭😭 FUCKKK.. RAPH WE'RE ADOPTING ONE AND YOU GOTTA CURE IT

friend and i were talking about oc pokemon teams a few months ago and she proposed paras for raph bc the fungus is medicinal...
now there's dialogue in pokopia that it has no idea what's happening to it and bulbasaur thinks the thing on the back is gonna also grow into a beautiful flower like him -

i'm very particular about his clothes!!! i feel like he has his own style...😆

omg i wouldn't forgive myself if i just left both of them hanging 😭😭 but haha thank you!! to this day i'm surprised people would remember my ocs and read my silly comics about them 🥹

thank god tomodachi life is coming out for og switch i would've crashed out

there's little connection between this xiv centric acc and the main i used to use but once upon a time i was in the fire emblem fandom and even the upcoming game isn't enough to get me to buy it (even though it looks really good and i love the chars and setting design)

i remember last year brainstorming w relatives what we could get my nephew for xmas and i said maybe a switch 2?? and then i looked up the price and remembered why i haven't bought one for myself lol

Pokopia title card and font saying 'i don't want to get a switch 2'

😔

oh trust me he shall 🫣🫣

he doesn't give anything away 😂

the things happening quietly in raph's head

it's like this part 2

apollo: oh? where are you going today? can i come?
raph: nowhere interesting. just rest at home.

(narrator voice that sounds suspiciously like cath) today, raph will be grinding the merchant's tale to secretly buy apollo a sexy outfit

ahaha yeah there isn't really any QOL i particularly yearn for and i like staying to the vibes of the world, so even then my choices might be quite boring 💀 the things people see from syncing scares me a little bit sometimes hahah

IN DEFENSE OF RAPH'S BASIC DALMASCAN WARDROBE... he wears thaliak in HW, ala mhigan tunic in SHB and palakan in EW+DT... i just happened to be drawing stormblood where he needs to be cool and breezy 🤭 i promise he wears nicer things and i'm just not a lazy artist

(i am a lazy artist)

raph is just john woodwarder shgdjshd and his dalmascan outfit is because i have to draw it 1000 times

i used to mod the heck out of my sims 2 game but i never got into it for xiv... maybe i'm just too lazy now lol (more fiddly and have to update regularly)

i think my taste in my ocs' appearance is just basic 😂😂 it's cool when i come across gposes and everyone has such interesting concepts

like... that's a cheek!! 🫣🫣 it's a very scandalous outfit

anyway the new variant dungeon's format is super fun and i always enjoy in general how scenic they are

the ffx fans copium 😆😆😆😆

also my bad it was corvosi i posted this before i played the dungeon 💔 sorry to do your hometown dirty g'raha

HE'S SO NAKED SORRY

iirc we were getting techy/modern outfits leading up to 7.0/solution nine and now we got a summery thavnairian fit THEREFORE 8.0 will be ffx themed and we will get blitzba

😭 that's such a real struggle haha... gl with it!!
