Raven Starhunter is actually named Hoshiryoshi no Karasu. The first is is clan name the particle denote his appartenance to it and Karasu is his given name. But that Othard eastern naming convention. Thanks to echo omnimingual ability, everyone hear the meaning behind it. Wich mean everyone hear a translated version of his name.

He did pick up Eorzan common over the years, but he actually speak the Fanged dialect, au ra ancestral langage and Othard Common.

You're absolutely right, but also, this prepared the Elpis arc in EW. This set up an understanding and respect of the ascians. It's part of why I love them as characters. They made a choice, and lived with it for the millenias after. (Yeah, I'm still salty to the dread wolf). Their morality and ideology may be twisted, it is a logical progression and make sense. That we agree with it or are horiffied does not matter, they are coherent and understandable. (Not Hermes. Fuck Hermes). So I like them.

Me explaining that Emet-Selch often uses the rhetoric of fascists and eugenicists to describe the ancients and he speaks to the scions with a bad faith mentality and his entire character arc is about being unable to let go of the past and I need you all to understand that these things are not coincidence and this is the story explicitly trying to tell you that if you are not careful your nostalgia will become worship of the past which will in turn become horrific fanaticism

Blue, are you alright?

Also, yeah, I would leave the parrots alone. But I'm told my way of thinking about death and changes is weird. I can somewhat apprehend why grief would make someone kill the parrots but also can't really relate. Dead is dead, and soul get recycled. From death, Life.

If your friend who would have lived 100 years got divided into thirteen parrots who would only live 3 years, and you knew that by killing those parrots, you'd get your friend back, would you kill the parrots?

Or does the fact that the parrots, though their abilities cannot be compared to your own, are able to speak and reason and love in their own way mean they deserve to have their own lives, and you need to accept your friend is dead?

Your best friend? Your child? Your lover?

The friend who asked you to save them, before they vanished?

Your entire community? Your whole family?? What if there were only three humans left alive in the whole world, and you'd promised the rest that you would find a way to rescue them?

To me it's perhaps MORE impressive that Emet Selch and Elidibus ultimately side with the parrots.

And her we see beautiful art and a representation of the pain in the ceck that we, max height au ra suffer. Ther is way too many lalafell on this continents!

FFXIV OC

Raven voice is deep, deep enough to have a rumbly quality, but a lot softer than people expect. Being calm, his voice doesn't get a booming effect, and his natural speech pattern is soothing. All in all, it does match up his apperance somewhat.

He has a slight accent, with soft r sound, and sharper k, but it's not that noticeable through the echo.

He often add tongue click and whistle to his conversation, and warning cry in battle tend toward being powerful shriek instead of word. All of which is habits formed by his people hunt speech, modeled on the falcons they trains.

They are surprisingly a good singer, even if they tend toward more of a support one to let more medium/high voice take the central place.

I swear this isn't an OC question blog BUT I have another question:

What does your WoL's voice sound like? Does it match their appearance? Do they have a noticeable accent of any kind? Do they have any other vocal quirks or habits? Do they have a good singing voice?
