Crazy Personal Headcanons

[Alleluia]

Gotta love how happy Hythlodaeus is that his duty que popped. XD

Before settling down in Silvertear, Midgardsormr dropped his kids off in the Churning Mists.
All seven of the first brood as dragonlings lived together there, and ruled over the native moogles as gods.
They are the gods mentioned in the Good King Mog story that the moogles served before descending the rope after the First Calamity.
Bahamut and Tiamat eventually moved out together to found the Meracydian dragon colony, while Azdaja and Vrtra moved to somewhere else.
Hraesvalgr, Nidhogg, and Ratatoskr stayed in the area their whole lives.

Louisoix would gently pat Thancred on the head as a sign of affection when he was growing up in Sharlayan. As Thancred never knew his parents and had never experienced much physical affection himself outside of this, it's why this is his go-to expression of how he cares for Ryne.

[ShadowMeowth]

This is a rather bittersweet thing and more a question than a headcanon, but I wonder if in one or more of the many lives Emet-Selch spent amongst mortals and had families and sired children and everything (and I do headcanon him having walked every path of life as a mortal from emperor to pauper, he has lived enough to do so) he got to form a family or be friends with some of our previous reincarnations. I mean, I doubt we were always reborn to be an active Warrior of Light.

Also to more bittersweet feels I would headcanon that since inevitably Emet would outlive every single one of our mortal reincarnations, if he was part indeed of some of these past lives, he would have been by our side in our final moments to be the one to guide our soul safely to the Lifestream / Underworld.

Great. Now I got emotional. Damn my mind. ;;

[SannaR]

It does make me wonder if Emet tried to search for us or for our other friend throughout time. Heck I wonder if Elidibus tried to find us as he seems to have wanted to be like us.

Like I wonder if Amon's making of Xande and the rest super tall was his own doing or if a certain person whispered in their ear. You know in the hopes that a taller body would mean they'd regain their ability to creation magics. Along with why he chose Garleans.

Oh man could you imagine Emet or the other two having try number 500 self recordings like Michael did at the beginning of the Good place? I mean how often in the beginning did they try to remember things pre-sundering.

This inquiry also had me wonder if that included our previous life and that if he was the reason Hydaelyn decided to give us her Blessing. As the Lifestream was both their domains in a sense I think he'd might've been in contact with the mothercrystal despite their obvious enmity.

Also because of said emity that Hades would prolly have to find that incarnation in a real desperate situation to warrant coming to hissworn enemy for help in the first place.

The other adventurers who appear to help us when there's no logical way to call for other people (AKA other players in the majority of dungeons, raids, and trials) are our alternate selves from the other Shards. They constantly change in appearance and jobs because time between the Shards is inconstant; they've gone through an extra lifetime or two and reincarnated since last time.

Myste is what's left of our alternate from the Thirteenth, channeled through the dark knight soul crystal. He has to continually consume aether because his soul is a fragment of a fragment and needs the extra energy to keep existing. While he rejoins with us at the end of the level 70 quest, there just isn't enough left of him to count as a full Rejoining; just a fading echo of regret, begging for forgiveness for his failure to save his world.

[Linadae]

My craziest theory is that the Convocation = The Twelve. They were down to 13 members after Elidibus was sacrificed (Yes I know Azem left but technically they were never replaced so...still part of the group even if the others won't admit it). Despite the name of The Twelve there are actually thirteen gods with Nald'Thal being twins and not a single deity. And according to Eorzean history, before the first umbral era it was a time when gods walked Eorzea. Considering how powerful even Sundered Ascians are, I'm betting they still looked very much like gods to the newly sundered survivors and the new life that was springing up. After the first Calamity, the gods apparently fled. The Ascians of course better able to go about their great works from the shadows.

I have two more. One is G'raha has excellent tail control and that he either constantly had his wrapped around his waist or is able to not have it move for a long time. You can't tell me that it wouldn't be making swishing noises under that robe. Unless you're going to tell me it was crystallized and broke off/fell off.

The other one is that part of the reason we goof on summoning an image of the primals is that we're also remembering what they looked like presundering. Specially if we're like those who either can't or have a hard time rendering a mental image of things in their head even if they know what thing is supposed to look like.

He may not have good tail control after all. If you talk to a guard after a cut-scene, he mentions that he swore he saw a tail swishing under his robes. I wonder how many other potential glimpses others in the Crystarium got.
