Crazy Personal Headcanons

[Recon1o6]

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"

The reason Lalafell children look just like adults, is that after infancy, they grow much quicker than other races of man, not unlike squabs that fledge quickly.

Samurai as a social class / caste with the privilege to bear arms is Hingan in origin, but long before that, Yanxia had "wandering swordsmen" that drift between places, striking down injustice whenever they went. Of those, Tenzen was the most famous given his command of the Echo, but there are many others. A character who is not the Warrior of Light may have learned Far Eastern swordsmanship from one of those swordsmen.

I also wanted to justify the amount of male Miqo'te players by saying something happened 20+ years ago that messed up the previous gender imbalance, leading to many male Miqo'te, now adult, not accepted by the existing social structure, striking out to become adventurers. However, the battle at Silvertear was only 15 years ago, so using that as the event may be a large stretch of existing lore.

: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.

And Demona getting side tracked by Dragons due to a misunderstanding.

You know Xanatos would have been the one to get Teledji killed just because A) he could, B) he'd hate the Lala and C) for the Lulz.

Also just imagine the fun he and Lolorito would have had.

I'm sorry if any of these have already been said in other posts since I didn't read the rest of threat past the 3-4th page but here's mine.

-The reason Bio/Miasma spells (soon to just be SCH's Bio spells) work on inorganic creatures/objects is because the spell itself isn't inflicting a disease but is essentially scrambling the internal aether of an object, this effect just happens to manifest in organic creatures as disease like effects.

-Cid and Nero absolutely where a thing once. Now they're the bickering divorced couple that occasionally has too many drinks and make "terrible mistakes"

-I used to headcanon that a Scholar could use their faeries to spy and see distance objects for them, not unlike little camera drones. It was an extension of a headcanon I had back when Selene used to be able to silence targets, so a Scholar could essentially use their Selene faeries to sneak to the backline and cripple the mage artillery.

Whatever the rules governing souls are, they for some reason saw fit to grant Tataru's wilful runaway carbuncle one.

The reason why there's two Ragnaroks after the msq? Well if we remember what happened at the absolute horizon point on hte map, its entirely possible that the second one was made as a result of that. The loporrits according to jammingway simply connected their teleporters.

After playing through the

Elpis quests in EW, my headcanon is that the reason for Emet's grumpiness and general dislike of relationships is because he was once involved with Venat during "his misspent youth" (back when she still held the seat of Azem) but of course, it all went badly and he's never moved on from that, also explaining why he took such an interest in the WoL in ShB, and is also annoyed at them in Elpis, seeing this person with the soul of his ex's successor and protege is a bitter reminder of those wounds that still sting 12000 years later (that's the problem when you touch the sun, you're inevitably going to be burned. )

Of course Hythlodaeus knows about it and cannot help but gently tease him about it, which only adds to the grumpiness.

And, linked with that, I pictured my WoL actually calling Emet "Mr Grumpy" while in

Elpis (hey, she had to try and get a little back from everyone calling her a familiar).

Hmmm mmmmmm

who'd have thought... Emet is a cougar hunter lol

The man is a well of mysteries and contradictions. I want to know about his misspent youth as well!

My headcanon for the aether compass is that I moved it to a convenient pocket. I actually had no idea it existed before and thought you were just supposed to find the "currents" on your own. I didn't know it was still in my inventory after all this time.

Still trying to formulate headcanon for people on market board who hoard and mark up leather and cactus blossoms.

Mostly silly things relating to Elpis. A touch of lewdness in a joke or two.

Some Unsundered Etheirysians wear glasses to be stylish, but they do serve a practical purpose. Rather than correcting something as banal as myopia in a paradise setting, they correct poor soul sight.

Azem's been called to Elpis before, to deal with unruly creations brought there from lands only he's traversed. Having been free from Amaurotine custom for so long, his mannerisms alone preoccupy the thoughts of all researchers, also contaminating the work they do on their creations.

Hades and Hythlodaeus have been best friends since childhood.

The Ancients had to start categorizing life the way they did, and develop rules for looking down on arcane constructs due to a creation magicks induced sexual revolution in their distant past. Things get really kinky when you can weave a new being for kink fulfillment every time you get curious about something, and thusly they went through a Futurama style "robosexual" apocalypse once. Aetheric Gonorrhea, the magical killer. Of course, there's no regulating transformation use in the privacy of one's own home, so that sort of thing still flies.

Childbirth is painless, but they never figured out a way past the gestation period.

Venat is a wine aunt.
