For Kaine and Y’shtola, the two ships that come to mind that perfectly encapsulate their dynamic are Clark and Lois, and Ada and Leon. The right amount snark, tension, intimacy, care, and just full on Golden Retriever x Black Cat energy. 🐈‍⬛🦮 (1/2, other wolship below)

Think of how doctors in hospitals speak in a direct manner but will make sure to assure you that you will be fine. That’s Kaine as a healer. His “team dad” aspects really come out when doing tank or healer.

It's more like getting to the act of headpatting than the actual headpat itself. Kaine likes to tease the twins like this sometimes, but he also knows they'll be taller than him someday, so they WILL get even with him eventually.

emet-selch co-existing with the exarch for 100 years including on-screen meetings in the ocular: though we disagree i respect your autonomy from a fundamentally political standpoint emet-selch 12 seconds after finding out he's a catboy:

Until now, the only one Kaine's slept with is Y'shtola, and it took a while to happen. He was yearning too hard to consider ever sleeping with anyone else, and also too dense to notice if anyone was trying to proposition him (on the rare instances that he noticed, he turned down the offer gently).

my first final fantasy XIV art!!! @dollip.bsky.social told me to draw sphene drinking a dunky donuts coffee. and I think she loves it!!!! probably!!!

MID landers….? NOT TO ME!!!!!!!!

This will be Kaine's fit in Evercold. Hopefully it's enough to keep him warm.

Evercold got me feeling a little nostalgic y'all #gpose #ffxiv

If anyone would like a hateful, transphobic dude to block in NA savage content and stuff here you go. Dude came into our static, got pissy with me, blocked me, then unblocked to send this and restocked. I know I ain't great. Im learning. 🤷 Kingdom Heart on Excalibur.

Better suits a hero, eh?

How fitting, especially since two of the bosses have mechs that require you TO MOVE IN, MOVE OUT (HANDS UP, NOW HANDS DOWN)

The moment I saw the Wing mount, I made it a point to make sure I could get one. And by golly do I love it so much.

Kaine backshots Not the best tbh LMAO

It involves Hildibrand. No further elaboration needed.

An old GPOSE you're proud of!

"Brother from Another Mother" is an apt description of Kaine and Thancred's relationship. They've fought together, confided in one another, fought each other, got horrifically shit-faced drunk and banned from a bar together, etc. They have a hell of a bromance, proven and tested too.

Kaine was born in the Silver Bazaar in Thanalan. He still visits to check in on his parents and the place as a whole. He's happy to know that it's slowly coming back to life and earning a new keep as a tourist destination (if you played the whole SAM questline, you'll get it). (1/2)

It also neatly deconstructs the RPG trope where the kid main character ends up calling the shots. Smart as Alphinaud is, the kid wasn't wise yet, and that whole Crystal Braves fiasco wasn't just about serving him humble pie, it was a harsh case of reality ensues.

popular aymeric fanon makes him this usual blindly obedient, naive, innocent religious man who obeys scripture with no question (bc it's a trope to like corrupt these kinds of characters or tempt them into sinning) meanwhile canon aymeric is... all but that.

#ffxivselfie day

What happens in the Great Gubal Library stays in the Great Gubal Library.

A mix of hard work, training, and being enhanced by the Blessing of Light makes Kaine as strong as he is. Though he's sure the Blessing will stay with him until death, he's training to maintain his current level of strength without it, just in case the it's taken from him again like in HW. (1/2)

It's a slow start, but I personally liked it. Not all of the MSQ is amazing, but from Mamook onwards is where it really hit its stride for me. If anything, I wish Tural got a bit more focus in the post patches, but the stuff that was present did a great job setting up what we'd be doing next.

I horrifically misheard a voice line in raid reclears tonight

Y'shtola Rhul 🤍 #FFXIV

Zenos… wasn’t exactly someone Kaine would 100% call a friend (especially considering everything he did), but their battles allowed them to understand each other in ways words couldn’t express. Underneath their vicious clashes was an unspoken and honest respect between them. That, Kaine can't deny.

final fantasy xiv: evercold

#7.5spoilers I'm sure Halmarut isn't lying in her motives, I just think she's a bit too convinced that her solution is the only valid one despite missing some key steps (i.e. factoring the survivability rate of causing five rejoinings in quick succession).

a break in the line #art #ffxiv

destruction or salvation, warrior of light?

everyone who is making a doordasher wol joke without having played through the awesome arkasodara quests is really missing out on true doordashing content

Not final yet, but I’m considering this as Kaine’s outfit for Evercold.

Also now that I’m watching the new outfit in action through different cutscenes… Yeah, I’m definitely wearing this for Evercold next year.

FOURCHENAULT???

#7.5spoilers #FFXIVspoilers yeah i had to

Prishe being voiced by Haruhi Suzumiya was not on my bingo card this year lmao
