They’ve met once. In a time during the post-EnW patches, Dia met up with Helios by accident, and everything for Helios just seemed to click. Immediately, Helios went from “I have to stop this bird from destroying the universe” to “I cannot let my little guy die. I’m not a MONSTER.”
Hey future BST people that tame goobues, you have the funniest thing you could possibly do in Ul’dah on a random day
lrp OUGHHHHHHHHH
this is so fucking relevant to my fic tho, like so much of it revolves around his guilt surrounding how Haurchefant died and how it affected everybody
commission for a friend
I actually have a different non-WoL OC that I initially developed hoping to make a chara for her in a RP setting, but that fell through. I ended up using her in a DND game, so the lore I made for her was developed to serve that larger story. I’m hoping I can come back to her soon.
POV: You're a retainer
wanted to pursue her romantically, per se, but he’s always had her back regardless. Just a true friend who’s ready with a joke and some advice whether its solicited or not. But he also knows when she needs a good push. Idk I’m looking forward to Thancred again is all.
Thancred has always meant a lot to Dia. There’s always been that shared guilt of responsibility between them, and what could have become a conflict of who should be the one to carry the onus turned into commiserating on “wow this onus sucks to carry lmao”
I don’t know if Thancred ever quite (1/2)
i still stew about them very obviously going down the void route right now while leaving incredibly important void lore in the dust if you did the shb role quests/warring triad. I will drag Cyella and Unukalhai to the 13th if it kills me.
also, can’t recommend som enough, if you want some good art check the vgen
Bought this comm as a treat for the girlies (me)
halmarut telling the wol and co about the ecological fallout of killing both zodiark and hydaelyn
It was honestly so nice to see Thancred and Urianger on the special site! I missed those two, and while I don’t want a full blown all scion adventure so soon, I hope they join us in the next expac in one form or another.
they're in a teams meeting
the runway emote is a nice thought, but from what i saw in the vid, it looks kinda awkward on fem elezen who already have a good runway strut with just their normal rp walk. plus why the genderlocking?
There’s more detail in my fic, but the moment I think Dia fully realized was when she came back from Doma and Aymeric comforted her while she had a breakdown over all the people who died for her, most recently Gosetsu (she didn’t know 😅)

if you limit your list of 'good' characters to whether or not they manipulated the WoL, you eliminate a lot of the main and supporting cast
"but des, what about aymeri--" the revenant's toll shipments
lbr, the WoL getting manipulated by someone on their side is a regular tuesday for them. only scions/leaders i can think of that haven't are alisaie, thancred, and wuk lamat, and even then, it's probably bc i'm not remembering something. i would be unsurprised if they did/another one didn't.
I GOT HIM LIL SHIT
P
too many thoughts on this and didn't feel like making a thread just yet. maybe later
Shadowbringers sealed the deal for me and Dia. It made me consider my wol as a character with a true part to play in the larger story who impacts the people around her, and how she would react outside of canon reactions given by the game writers. Before that, I was just working with an avatar.
Hilda for sure, but like she and DIa are besties, so ya know, gals being pals and all that
Eos has been Dia's constant fae companion since she learned the Nymian arts. It's not that Eos particularly speaks so much as she displays the emotions of her caster. Since the end of Shadowbringers, she has also been trying to teach Eos how to cast certain damage spells like Thundaga.
Dia learned about cars when she got to Garlemald and saw the smoldering wreckage that remained of them in the city. Once Lucia explained they had engines in them once, she put 2+2 together.
That said, she thinks the cars in sol 9 are ugly

heh
Dia doesn’t like to talk about her shoulder blades after shb. The light made her grow small wings that have since been removed after she purged the light from her body.
