hmmm idk let’s ask Estinien on this one

this genre of #estimorene gpose reblog if you agree

hmm a bunch of these are very close but here’s my thoughts: Healer: SGE > AST > WHM > SCH Tank: DRK > WAR > GNB > PLD Melee: DRG > VPR > SAM > RPR > NIN > MNK Ranged: DNC > BRD > MCH Caster: BLM > RDM > PCT > SMN

still blown away by this official art from last year that not only put meteor and haurchefant in tight swimsuits together but also gave them matching bracelets like okay #married

ask me questions and help me push past my writers block maybe lol

remembering that Nahbdeen has two daughters in canon... I think Estinien genuinely goes to him for parenting advice sometimes 🥹

what do you mean mentally narrating a whole fic to yourself while playing around on a coloring app is not the same as writing it?

I can’t make Cimorene’s island sanctuary cabin accurately look like the island home she has with her family… but I can make a little courtyard garden like I hc she has there.

when will my writer's block leave me please i wanna write smut

Could you have held fast to that which is dear without sacrifice #ffxiv #ff14

oh lol I lied she sure says it in your first one-on-one interaction with her oops Aiken’s reaction is still pretty much the same though lol that’s his sister’s name! This is who his sister was named for! Weird!!

gentle summer thunderstorm my beloved

Canon Cimorene can handle chocobos and maybe maneuver a small cart but she’d never be able to handle any sort of magi-tech vehicle. Modern AU Cimorene does NOT have a license. In spite of this she’ll still drive if she must but would much rather be a passenger princess lol

LRP finding relaxation in each other’s arms

Happy WoLship Saturday, Gang. Please imagine what relaxation looked like together early on vs how it looks now. Maybe it has gotten easier. Maybe it is one of their signs of trust in one another. Maybe it is idle fingers or a head in a lap. Or maybe it is celebratory. Or don't. I ain't ya mom.

Fleinn too Fleinn too. #FourthPromise 💜

Still in post-ARR and enjoying these 2 important things Aiken doesn’t know because it never came up when he was a kid: - anything about the Crystal Braves, including who Ilberd is and what happened w/him - that the woman his baby sister Ysayle was named after was commonly known as Lady Iceheart

Bandwagoning was done and sure i'll post at a time images aren't loading! <3 #NotesOfFreya ❤️‍🔥

Bandwagon time!

okay but seriously every cutscene has me like “what in the phantom menace is this?”

Happy Birthday to two of the most beautiful characters I have ever been blessed to see in my life #FFXIV

oooh a bandwagon! I had so many pretty Cimorenes to choose from but I love how this turned out

a girl who is exactly where she wants to be #wolstinien

If Cimorene isn’t a dragoon she’ll die lol I’ll have to see about the evolved mode but what I saw wrt dragoon specifically I did like so I’ll probably try it out. I’ll definitely pick up both new jobs but I won’t level them until post MSQ and then determine how canon they are to Cimorene lore.

honestly, I’ve kinda decided the Spring Dress is Cimorene’s most iconic/recognizable look. It’s what I most commonly ask her to be drawn in and what I love to pose her in. (art by @1driedpersimmon.bsky.social and @jellyfishflan.bsky.social respectively)

be punk this weekend fam

"I want to write but no one will read it." "I want to take screenshots but it might look bad and I'll be embarrassed." "I want to create things but I won't get any engagement." Well, that's up to you, but you're going to have to concede defeat to this line of dialog from a Namazu:

(Approaching a couple) So who's the Hraesvelgr and who's the Shiva in your relationship

and a happy last day of pride from the lesbian curtain in the bokairo inn in kugane

a girl who is exactly where she wants to be #wolstinien

The only way Cimorene wouldn’t end up with Estinien after Haurchefant is if Estinien either didn’t exist in this canon or also had died lol In either case, she’d probably still have her pirate flings but never have another long term relationship. She’d probably be shipped most with Leofard as a fwb

Happy birthday, Usagi Tsukino

the hug wolqotd is making me yearn for September because I am 90% Estinien is going to reappear mid-battle in some dramatic fashion and this is absolutely going to be Cimorene's reaction:

Alphinaud gave Cimorene a much needed hug after the events of 7.5. She's still not doing... great right now, but that helped her a lot and she's glad he's around.

draw for your friends hang out with your friends sing with your friends dance with your friends tell your friends how much they mean to you and cheer them on as they chase after their dreams i cannot stress this enough. this is the secret sauce of life

I implore you. Like things. I don't mean to hit an engagement button on social media sites. I mean enjoy stuff. Don't be beige. Cringe is a manifestation of internal fear and other's condiditoning shame for no reason. It's bs. Be weird.

because why not lol

When the horrors persist, but so does Pride

beating the heat ☀️ #ffxivgpose #gposers

Cimorene would be baffled by it but like, amused too. Also Estinien would find it utterly ridiculous and she would be even more amused by his reactions lol I think Aiken has at least one birthday there - maybe more

(Cimorene heard you all yell about Zenos having long hair at the NA Fanfest and had to do something drastic.) #ffxivart | #ffxivfanart | #7.5spoilers

was struck remembering a shadowbringers ffxiv write prompt I did about Cimorene and Alphinaud and realized I could make parallels to current events. enjoy these two caring about each other so much I want to die (vague but still present #7.5Spoilers so be mindful) archiveofourown.org/works/87253546

Krile and Estinien #ffxiv #ffxivart #ff14

thinking about Cimorene’s 7.5 haircut and how much she hates it the same way she hated the first time she chopped her hair off at the start of ARR thinking about how it’s a point of vanity for her and how she lowkey hopes she doesn’t see Estinien for a while because she wants it to grow first

finally had the time to make this for Cimorene! patterns include - characters who are quiet to a slightly off-putting degree, orphans, characters associated with dragons, and characters who can and will Kick Your Ass. And, of course, all of them are beautiful 🥰
