make sure you keep your warrior of light in an area with dungeons and treasure vaults so they’re enriched by their environment. if you can’t make small areas to hide treasure for your wol to find, you should reconsider getting a wol. do NOT let them into the universe! wols are natural predators of gods and in several areas they’ve already hunted the god population to extinction

I got a few, but they are pretty disparate, lot of them are more humor than anything, so here:

Fire emblem awakening, tiki/Male tactitcian + their child

Fire emblem Awakening, but without shipping, same it's humor

Fire emble Awekning, humor too

Star wars, short humor one, very amusing

Genshin Impact fic, Beiguang, but mainly just humor, a bit absurb

Clone wars era of star wars, humor, very fun

Clone wars era, aro/ace rep, and also, fun banter

FFXIV fic, dad!thancred and Uncle!Urianger with Teen Ryne

This is one is adult humor, but mainly just people chatting about teh subject and morbid curiosity

I have felt absolutely sick with nerves the past couple days. Haven't been able to distract myself very well. Pain issues. A lot of doctor's visits. Some family trouble. Just too much going on really.

Can folks recommend or share some of their favorite fluff fics or art/gposes/etc?

Romantic or platonic. Any ship/friendship. I'd like something soft to chew on

Me: I should really get back into a healthy sleeping pattern

Also me: Proceeds to open Ao3 instead and read about the same two people falling in love 151738515163 different times until morning

We know ether for a person is seperated between their body ether and their soul ether, as seen with the transmigration process of ascians, or even out ability to teleport. There is potions and spell to heal ether, so I headcanon that potion, or trained medical mage could just... blur the physical ether and attune it to the soul ether of the person. Like, sure, you got sould/physical ether dissonance, here the ether manipulation needed to solve it.

just read your AMAB focused NSFW headcanons but im curious, so in light of LGBT month of June, what about trans folk of the miqo/hroth/au'ra/viera races? Trans males, do they go into heat, perhaps not as intensely and/or as often if they're on some version of hormone replacement? I have my own personal headcanon for my AFAB trans guy but i was just curious on your take c:

Thanks for asking!! This ended up being a more general ramble about trans headcanons in Eitherys, hopefully that's ok xD I haven't done much lore digging for this stuff in actual canon, so forgive me if this conflicts with lore! (And feel free to share sources, I'm curious!)

I imagine “hormones” as a word isn't really a thing in Eitherys - or at least isn't widely known - and due to the magic and aetheric aspects of life here, the whole thing doesn’t function quite the same way as real life. --

Most folks are content with using glamours as a (relatively) cheap, accessible way to alter their presentation. --

In Eorzea, skilled alchemists can create potions which alter aether and essentially have the same effect as HRT. Alchemy is somewhat expensive and this particular concoction requires significant skill such as from the Guild - so this isn’t something your average farmer would have reliable access to. --

Garlemald has magitek and medical expertise to perform complex confirmation surgeries, especially thanks to studying Allagan technology like cloning and having an advanced understanding of magical genetics. --

Since Miqo’te and Hrothgar heats are caused by ovaries being ready to ovulate, transfems don’t experience heats naturally (the same way irl transfems don't get periods.) But alchemists have a fix for that too, and potion can be brewed to replicate the sensation of a heat with great accuracy. --

Fantasias… exist. But they’re either a lost art or extremely prohibitive to make, meaning almost nobody outside of like the Leveillieurs and the Emperor of Garlemald would have access to such a thing. --

Transgender acceptance varies significantly between races, city states, and cultures:

Groups like tradition-heavy Miqo'te tribes and Ishgard which push strict gender roles with heavy reproductive expectations attached tend to be less welcoming to the notion.

Viera... super duper chill with trans. They don't even know what sex they are until puberty. Even though their society is divided into gender roles, reproduction isn't a huge focus so there's no major cultural reason to be so opposed to the idea of it.

Will tentatively hc that Gridania is accepting. There's plenty of examples of nonbinary gender stuff in nature. (I could make a case for them being super bigoted and arrogant about "sex=gender, we're Spoken races not animals" or w/e but I'm mean enough to Gridania in my hcs so they can have this xD)

Garlemald is pretty much fine with it, too, but access to gender affirming medical care is, like so much else, dependent on merit.

Sharlayan acknowledges the existence of trans individuals and is verbally affirming, but there's so much academic debate and bureaucracy that it can actually be very hard to “qualify” for affirmative care.

In Ul'dah acceptance is about money. Like everything else lol

Au Ra have SO MANY cultures I feel it's impossible to place any generalizations on them. I imagine there's a huge spectrum of beliefs and whatnot depending on what group you're born to.

There's also just not enough Hrothgar lore out there for me to be too sure how I think they'd handle it. Since they also seem to have pretty strict gender roles, it'd be easy to say it's not accepted. But I also kinda like the idea of intersex traits being fairly common for Hroth, and maybe there's a lot of leeway in their traditions for at least transmasc/transfem individuals! --

The Ancients were very positive about it, especially given the role physical transformation has in their culture and the ease with which it could be done

While I personally like the variation in acceptance & access to care from an immersion and storytelling standpoint, I totally get that's not for everyone and have nothing against folks who hc a more widely accepting world in Eitherys!
