#autumnrepost day one: dreams

this has a dreamlike quality to it and was meant more as a metaphorical art piece than any moment in canon so. it counts aha #azureblossom

can confirm this is how emi got pregnant both times 🙂‍↕️ urban legend has it that she did it to both of his ears simultaneously the first time & that's how she ended up with twins 😂 #emirin #azureblossom

legends say that gently running your fingers down an elezen's ear from tip to base has the same effect as if it was down their spine and someone gets pregnant after

alternative answer that fits both canons:

two azems fell in love thousands of years ago but were apart when their souls were sundered and they've spent lifetimes across shards and the source trying to find each other again

this might be the time they finally come home #autumntide #azureblossom

speaking of vanilla gpose. when the last patch dropped & crimes were down i was messing w game options and i discovered stickers for the first time

i joked with ro that this should have been how they announced their pregnancy w/the twins to the scions (but light party instead) #azureblossom #emirin
emi leaning into estinien as he stands guard in a barren cold location. the in game text "full party" is displayed over them.

in the #azureblossom canon she's ovoviviparous so she's like a snake where she has eggs internally but they hatch before being born & thus have live births

i was probably gonna use that for all her canons buuuut i did say she and nien are both more draconic in #autumntide so if they have a kid....?

#azureblossom: emi admitted her feelings first but estinien blurted out i love you first in an argument after ghimlyt

#autumntide: idk yet but i think it'll be the opposite? he comes around first & is drawn to her bc he's the reason why their soulmate bond became noticeable but she needs more time

#wolqotd ship question.

For those with WoLships, who was it that said "I love you" first? Who took the emotional step of saying their feelings first? How'd it go?

it's multilayered! partially the lyrics, partially the sound, partially bc emi's surname is kozakura (ko + sakura, little cherry blossom). i put it on their cozy late night mix bc it's a vibe lol #azureblossom

friday commute thoughts: i want to give the emistinien kids wings. which will be deeply amusing because emi doesn't get them in #azureblossom she only gets them in #autumntide

(which is even more ironic given it's the slow burn canon she gets the wings in not the one w kids paha. maybe bc of kids?)

oh we quoting with our wolstiniens? i got two flavors of the same ship hehe #azureblossom #autumntide
emi and estinien sitting under a tree on the ground. she's in her streetwear casual glam and he's in his casual crafting glam - dark blue tank top, gray cargo pants, black leather fingerless gloves. her hair is in a ponytail and his is down and loose. she's sitting to the left facing him with a look of bewilderment. he is eating a taco right in the middle with a smile. she was in the middle of eating a chocolate heart that is in her hands. emi - emichi/autumntide canon - sitting at the top of the moonfire boat tower watching the fireworks with estinien (who in this canon has big patches of black scales from nidhogg on his arms & across his body). she's wearing the endless summer halter (sky blue) and isle cutoffs (ink blue). she's also got the far eastern headband (ink & shadow blue) that he got her for her nameday recently. estinien is wearing the martial artist sleeveless shirt in shadow blue, the hose of happiness in ink blue, and a pair of aviator sunglasses perched on his head. front view from estinien's side, zoomed out to see their entire bodies. you can't really see his face but you see emi's completely, and she's looking up at him with a mix of surprise and affection, with a soft smile.

well now that i'm finishing 7.3 and decided this is when emi has their son (bc of the "several weeks later" gap)

i guess i gotta come up with a name... but it seems at least i've finally settled on hamignant being his middle name lol #azureblossom #thewyrmlings
me: waffling for weeks on emistinien son name especially if hamignant should be his middle name ffxiv in this long ass half hour cutscene literally while i'm thinking about it: [ image of a dialogue option prompt what will you say? you already know what to do. the voices of the past will be your guide.

As they walked up the short pathway from the main trail to their home in the woods, he dug into his pocket and pulled out something small and shiny with a leather strap tied to it. Emi’s eyes lit up as she realized what it was when he placed it into her waiting hands. A key. Her key to their home. “An lehs kin,” she muttered. Our home. All of their friends and family had arrived for the occasion. Everyone who had contributed, put in any effort whether physical, emotional, or logistical. Emi’s heart swelled with love when she saw them; she gasped as she was swept off her feet suddenly - quite literally - and carried in Estinien’s arms to the door.

She wiped her eyes and sat up, looking out over the rolling verdant hills dappled with spots of colors from various flowers. Is this what Coerthas was like before the Calamity? That was the thought she wrote down as she pulled out her sightseeing log journal and began scribbling the scene before her. She set out to capture as much of it as she could, as accurately as she could, because this would be the letter she sent to Estinien that night. A drawing, a long blade of grass torn from the ground, and a single request. Tell me about the highlands of your youth.

August 29, 2026 at 4:41 AM
liatrelle.etheirys.social
like. these lyrics y'all. the whole song fits but this run right here? it may as well have been written about them

"been sleeping in a twenty year dark night" like what if i cry? "i'll tell you the truth but never goodbye" "i wounded the good and i trusted the wicked" 😭 #autumntide #azureblossom
My love was as cruel as the cities I lived in Everyone looked worse in the light There are so many lines that I've crossed unforgiven I'll tell you the truth, but never goodbye I don't wanna look at anything else now that I saw you I don't wanna think of anything else now that I thought of you I've been sleeping so long in a 20-year dark night And now I see daylight, I only see daylight Luck of the draw only draws the unlucky And so I became the butt of the joke I wounded the good, and I trusted the wicked Clearing the air, I breathed in the smoke Maybe you ran with the wolves and refused to settle down Maybe I've stormed out of every single room in this town Threw out our cloaks and our daggers because it's morning now It's brighter now, now

emi and estinien watching fireworks from the top of the moonfire faire boat's jump puzzle. their glams are as follows: emi is wearing the tie front isle vacationer's shirt (a open button up shirt tied in the front with a bikini top underneath) in sky blue, moonfire tanga in white and sky blue, and tycoon hairpins. éloïse is wearing a dark blue, white, and black moonfire happi and the isle farmhand pink shorts. she is a raen au ra young girl with dark hair (like her mom's) pulled back into ponytails. she has emi's natural (pre-shb) dark steel blue eye color & red limbal rings, and estinien's tan complexion. estinien is in his level 100 trust outfit minus the hat & shoes. isle vacationer's shirt (unbuttoned and opened revealing his chest), hose of happiness in cherry pink. akari is wearing an arcadion shirt in shadow blue and the hose of happiness cargo pants in a charcoal color. she appears as a xaela au ra young girl with off-white hair like estinien's, and silver eyes & silver limbal rings like emi has now (post-shb). from left to right sits emi, with her arm behind éloïse and her tail wrapped around behind her. estinien sits next to his younger twin daughter éloïse and holds his older twin daughter akari on his shoulders. he's holding her shins while she sits up on his shoulders & holds onto his head with her hands. the pov is from the front and slightly to the side, they're all looking up at the fireworks. same pose and glam as before except now the pov for the shot is from behind the family. beyond them in the sky you can see a bunch of fireworks, including a bright ring around the meteor icon for ffxiv.

estinien leaning by the pool on the boat with his arms crossed, wearing the pink hose of happiness and the isle vacationer visor. emi is standing behind him in her striped southern seas swimsuit (white and sky blue), white tanga, white and sky blue sandals, and white sunglasses on. she's got her hands in fists in front of her face and leaning forward staring directly at estinien's ass with a look of pure glee on her face. there are sparkles around her as well. (the joke being that you can ABSOLUTELY tell she's looking at estinien's ass even with the sunglasses.) the pov is now from in front of estinien and you can see him smirking and his eyes turned to the side in her direction.

is bsky still broke i have new #azureblossom and #autumntide lore to drop lol
dynamis tataru [nien], — 2:02 PM i love when i get lore ideas at the most random times anyway running 7.2 dungeon and on top of chaotic thrust/chaotic spring being emi's move i'm now adding wyrmwind thrust to their lore bc the two dragons - one red and one blue - remind me of them bhhsfhsff so i think it's gonna be a move they come up with together while training probably meant to represent nidhogg and midgardsormr (or maybe ratatoskr? though she's usually orange/red; maybe it's just their aether/soul colors idk) in azure blossom canon and probably just their inner dragons in autumntide canon (since there's much more emphasis on them in their lore in particular)

liatrelle.etheirys.social
oh yeah uh. had a realization today and i think i'm retconning/altering the haldrath lore for something even more incredible :) #azureblossom #autumntide
dynamis tataru nien 8:12 PM yeah!!! i'm excited since like. they could easily do it and being up in high places is integral to their lore in almost every timeline/canon hahaha also been rethinking the haldrath thing a bit bc i reread as azure fades today and i'm like. you know what would be more gutwrenching and poignant than them both coming back as haldrath that one time (hence why they both are azures and have been compared to/appeared as him)? if he was haldrath in that life and she was berteline, the one haldrath names his successor but also the one who, alongside her father, runs haldrath through with his spear moments before nidhogg claims him 1 1 bc then they technically would have still found each other (she was the one who found haldrath slumped next to the dragon and she said a voice that sounded like "stormy winds" told her to go there, which haldrath claims was nidhogg) and would have shared a rather significant moment, and her being the second azure after him is just chef kiss AND would also tie into her absolutely refusing to kill him on the final steps of faith - because some part of her soul remembers having done it before maybe even she gets like half an echo in that moment or something in her feels a pull to that same moment in the past
