@wordybird.bsky.socialEvery time Arashi has to deal with Gerolt, romantic music begins to play. Not for her but for her weapon, who has fallen completely for the alcoholic smith. The relic weapons have become test cases to make it sharper, hardier, better. It unnerves Arashi.
@wordybird.bsky.socialRandom thought that slammed into my brain: Arashi does not do Occult Crescent and so therefore doesn't deal with Gerolt. The moment Fareena and Tender show back up with their fancy new relic weapons, Arashi's weapon starts rattling out of control.
@wordybird.bsky.socialThis All Saint's Wake, Arashi is going as her worst possible fear: Someone totally fine with her most embarrassing secrets being out in the open.
@wordybird.bsky.socialUsually just the one, minus her own body (a work-in-progress under Lyse's and Fareena's tutoring). Arashi's weapon is a shifting thing that adapts to its owner's needs, so it can be any number of blades at any moment. Its resting form is that of a greatsword.
@wordybird.bsky.socialArashi is quite tall for a female au ra, but is positively tiny against her mother. Arashi stands at 5'5", her mother at 6'0". Hana was considered a giant in Doman society and used that size to bully her opponents into slipping up and making fatal mistakes.

@wordybird.bsky.socialI mean...
(It's amazing how much mileage I'm getting out of this silly picture.)
@wordybird.bsky.socialPros of FFXIV Write being done: I now have 2-3 hours of extra time to just chill after work again.
Cons: ...So what do I do with that time now?
@qutawo.bsky.socialHe can walk better than you'd expect for someone who isn't the most graceful catboi on the star. The bar for "better than you'd expect" is pretty low.

@wordybird.bsky.socialShe can barely WALK in heels, let alone run. In both incarnations. You'd think the tail would help for balance, but somehow it just makes it harder.
@wordybird.bsky.socialWith the Fall Guys crossover returning, a reminder: Those beans are canonically six feet tall. They're gigantic. Easily towering over miqo'te and au ra. Awful creatures.

Arashi's time is running out, but she has one final task: Meeting the divine fortress Alexander one more time.
@wordybird.bsky.socialI'm going to hurt people with my final prompt.
@wordybird.bsky.socialBefore Lyse? Short-lived. A brief tryst with a lady knight of Ishgard (which comes back to bite her in HW), but otherwise...
Arashi is answering no questions about Lady Iceheart at this time.
For Wheels of Thunder? Messy. So, so messy.
@wordybird.bsky.socialThat's basically just inverting her highlights and regular hair colour. She does look good in red, though.
@wordybird.bsky.socialStorm's Road - FFXIV Write 2026: Day 29 - Layer
The various lovers of Arashi Washi set about educating the newcomer on the pecking order.
Did you think I was joking?
@wordybird.bsky.socialLayer, huh? Guess I should write about Arashi's many partners pulling together a rota.
Get it? Because they lay 'er? Get i- [I am immediately dragged off-stage and shot]
