Crazy Personal Headcanons

That's more like it!

Also I think he was referencing Monty Python(Life of Brian), but it fell flat imo!

Yes, it's a Month Python reference (therefore ironic) But clearly it did fall flat apart from Illmaeren. Like most FCs, those in Elai's (imaginary) FC are her friends and tend to back her up on some points of order (like the Scions being mostly useless and Elai doing all the work). I thought this was supposed to be a thread for crazy personal headcanons, not serious lore discussions?

Also I know this is the Internet, but that doesn't make me a 'he'. I am, in fact, a 'she'

Actually, Illmaeren is who I was referring to, by character proxy. I didn't pick up the reference from your post, at all. Seen waaaay too many Scion bashers, so read it as genuine.

And it is just the thread for that! I am by no means being serious. Not even I'm that uptight, lol. Hence the Pooh meme. Our sense of levity just isn't the same, that's all!

For realsies, no foolin'!

i mean i get the monty python reference, but there is still a point- wtf were the scion's doing in ARR and I am currently doing ARR for the 3rd time on my alt atm. Thancred at least did some interrogating and urianger does the paperwork but that aside i haven't seen the scions actually DO anything in ARR. Especially when dealing with the sylphs and titan.

Headcanon: the wol chews out Tataru immediately after their victory vs ifrit since they got effectively pressganged into military service because she sang their praises too loudly. Only the wol did it for the chocobo and the recruiters knew they were pressganged and so made them the equivalent of a reservist so they didn't get deployed anywhere.

The wol also only sticks around after ifrit because the scions might shed some light on the echo

edit: another headcanon- limsa born miqote are significantly better than other miqote when it comes to water since they were naturally surrounded by water when young. Other miqote...don't handle water as well if they don't want to get in. Leviathan is therefore very confusing for miqote to fight. On one hand big feesh! on the other hand water!

For me, the Hyur aren't Humans despite they look the most human of all the races of Eorzea similar to the alien race in the Guardians of the Galaxy cinematic universe aka the Xendarians.

Story of my life and yes, I was.


My head cannon is he's not actually the WoL. Rather, he's a former officer in the Twin Adders who joined the Scions as an auxillary and took up adventuring after his enlistment period was up but called back into service on a temporary basis as circumstances dictate. I've pretty much hand waved Shadowbringers out of his lore and play it as "just a game". I've got no idea how Endwalker is going to affect things, so significant portions of it may also get hand-waved away.

Thancred was getting black out drunk and ****ing tables, except for when he helps save you from the gargoyles. That's actually why he was late to the Ifrit party /nods

Y'shtola was rehearsing her sassy assertions kinda like Winston Churchill rehearsing what he wants to say in everyday conversations.

Papalymo was giving Lyse Yda'ing lessons.

They were all heroing where they could, but they couldn't do much as they were against the threats they wanted to tackle until the WoL walked in.

I legit wonder sometimes how many Echo blessed adventurers got killed/maimed/retired early due to signing on and getting overwhelmed by the enormity of the Scions' vision. Although perhaps it was more like, they were reading all the warning signs and seeing all the bad juju across the land and trying to warn and help where they could... their ambition growing upon receiving the helping hand of Murderhobo McKillsstuff, yes even "gods."

Wait... when did Goliath and the rest show up? I mean I could dig me some Goliath, Lexington, Bronx... maybe even Detective Maza.

My WoL keeps a running tally of 'gods' killed. Everytime someone used auracite in Bozja and bragged of having the power of a god, she would just smirk as if to say "You don't say"

im pretty certain that's just an extension of canon

"I'll kill your god if I must. Maybe even if I don't" -optional dialogue choice the wol gets in stormblood. which implies that the wol keeps track of their deicide antics whether that be "they make good practice" or "gods are fun to fight" or "fuck the gods they're all dicks at some point" or "I wonder what shiny weapon I can turn this one into"

:P I think those Gargoyles woulda made short work of Thancred, honestly. I mean, you've seen Goliath. Talk about a chad!

Now that you mention it though... I could very much see David Xanatos as being on the Ul'dah Syndicate.
