thinking about how Lis dresses for a Steppe festival during Stormblood, winding Reform Steppe Angelite beads into her mullet, lacquering her claws with polish as she thinks about escaping into the indulgence of dancing and feasting and the unique separate intimacies of a party
#Liscanon
I just think that we should let Lis Amaranth try out baking. Surely nothing will go wrong in the process of Lis Amaranth learning how to bake food. Surely it will not result in a summoning circle that materializes a perfectly tasty cake in odd hues that hums quietly and glows.
#Liscanon
latenight thoughts of a young Lis Amaranth going to the Avaini onsen with K'haraa, sharpening her claws as Lis rambles about the tutoring sessions of that day, about whatever boy in town tried to seek her favor, about the fortune-telling she got from one of the mahjong ladies earlier.
#Liscanon
I cannot stop thinking about Gladiolus Lycoris Amicitia-Kaviraja being the world’s best, snarkiest big foster brother to Squall Leonhart. if Squall thinks he can avoid his problems with silence around Liscanon Gladiolus, he’s got another thing coming (brotherly teasing)
#Liscanon
LIS/MINFILIA MIRRORS LIS/GLADIO. LIS KNOWS HOW DEEPLY MINFILIA HAS HAD TO HIDE AND WEAR HER MASKS TO WITHSTAND GRIEF. LISCANON'S HYDAELYN MIRRORS XV BAHAMUT. WHAT HAPPENED TO MINFILIA, WHAT ALMOST HAPPENED TO GLADIO, AND THEN MINFILIA BECOMING A DARK KNIGHT LIKE GLADIOLUS.
#Liscanon
imagine if the Chosen One was a blood priestess lizard lady who happened to act like a long-lost member of the Addams Family and have a truly wild case of undiagnosed autism. this too is Lis Amaranth, Warrior of Twilight
#Liscanon
I never really get to talk about the Moirai, a trio of very, very important Ancients to Liscanon, because they're deeply inspired by the horror webseries characters I love so dearly and I feel weirdly insecure talking about them sometimes because of that. They're some of my favorites.
#Liscanon
Minfilia sometimes feels like Lis is far too stubborn and that said stubborness holds Lis back from things + people that would be good for her to know. They get into arguments sometimes about it. Gladiolus, Ardyn and Emet-Selch curse Lis’s stubbornness at times, too.
#Liscanon
Morevna of the Dead Leaves wants to drown the world in epiphany, wants to introduce new changes slowly into the old world within her own way. She wants ample people to cherish, she wants new tasty foods and even more channeled works of art to bring to her people and rituals aplenty.
#Liscanon
the more I think about it the more emo I get about how Lis interacts with Ryne. Lis loving Minfilia so deeply that she could not bear to ever treat Ryne badly, could not stand the sight of how Thancred was treating her, wanting to do her best for the last piece of her Minnie left.
Three days later I give you all:
#Liscanon
the Lis and G'raha Thread (with bonus Rielle) 🧵
#Liscanon
Lis resents and remembers how Alphinaud treated her in ARR. She may have seemingly, outwardly forgiven him for this, but she tends to keep an eye on him, and their dynamic is sometimes tense/awkward in a way that colors how Alphinaud writes about her like she's his sleep paralysis demon.
#Liscanon
Lis is a skittish sort of creature, going into the start of XIV's plot. I think she's wary of Cid at first like she is of the others, but Cid's tolerance to her weirdness and the way he gives her a safe place to hide out in when shit gets tough goes a long way to earning her trust.

art by @zanarkands! An Au Ra stands facing the left, in the traditional bent-rised-knee standing pose of the Dragoon from Final Fantasy. She wears the Type-53 Halfrobes of Casting and the 2b boots. The Azem stone is hung around her neck. An blue earring with a diamond inside hangs off of one of her horns, with a Lunar Tear tucked over the same horn. The Au Ra holds Penthesilea's Spear, and radiating from her head is the same halo seen radiating from Lunafreya Nox Fleuret in the Final Fantasy 15 logo. She is colored in that same gradient from the FF15 logo. Behind her looms the figure of the Red Dragon Angelus from the Drakengard logo, and Angelus's Pact Mark. At her feet, autumn leaves, Lunar Tears from Nier Replicant and sylleblossoms from Final Fantasy 15 blow. Angelus is colored in the same gradient as the Drakengard logo, and the Pact-Mark is colored a bloody red. Together, the two form a blend of Final Fantasy and Drakengard elements in every sense — befitting for the crossover nature of the canon. Next to the Pact-Mark is an underline title in the mainline Final Fantasy font: "LISCANON".
#Liscanon
that's right fuckers, it's time for me to talk once again about the lizard priestess, the myth, the legend, the Scarlet Herald of Angelus, the Warrior of Twilight herself. send in all your NPC requests, no matter how obscure.
#Liscanon
Lisfilia, in general, with them both being people of faith, with them both having anger that boils inside them like a plague, with how Minfilia has to put on a mask for others throughout MSQ and how Lis deals with doing the same during ShB and Faithtear... I'm so sick, I'm so diseased.
#Liscanon
like the more I cook on Lisfilia during ShB the more that adds a visceral feelings grenade into an already HIGHLY messy situation. Lis seeing the situation similarly to how the Unsundered see the Sundered souls, the horror of finding out about Ryne and how Thancred treats her...
#Liscanon
hey you ever just think of Lis Amaranth having nightmares of Fandaniel using other people's corpses as vessels the way she feels Hydaelyn used Minfilia as her vessel? you ever just think of Lis waking up screaming from nightmares of Fandaniel taking Noctis or K'haraa as vessels?
#Liscanon #Recollect
Lis Amaranth eats people for ritualistic reasons, Crow Locke eats people for the love of the game. I think if you put them in a room together and asked them to discuss strictly cannibalism for an hour, you'd get some interesting conversations going on there.
#Liscanon
I'm so glad to wake up to incredible WoLfilia talk today, truly blessed to see so many talented folks working with Minfilia in their writing and giving her such cool dues.
I swear, Lisfilia is growing on me even more in regards to making Liscanon's ShB even more of a clusterfuck.
#Liscanon
so one of my friends helped with archiving a thread within which I have written most of my biggest Liscanon lorestuffs. would you all care to know how long the document is?
#Liscanon
(CW discussion of abusive dynamics)
think a lot about how Narcissus must interact with Calyx lately, especially given that Calyx resembles Tomita (TAM's/1.0 WoL's best friend) so uncannily.
I like to think Calyx seeks Narcissus's validation, but Narcissus often denies it to him.

LOOK ME IN THE EYEBALLS. LISCANON'S ARDYN IZUNIA AND GLADIOLUS ARE P E A K WIFEGUYS TO LIS, AND CAN YOU BLAME THEM, REALLY, WHEN THEY HAVE BEAUTIFUL LIS TO FAWN OVER? they're also very loving with each other and (not pictured here) Emet-Selch :3
#Liscanon
ESPECIALLY BECAUSE MINFILIA/ZENOS IS STILL CANON LATER ON IN LISCANON, TOO. I think about how Gladiolus approaches Minfilia in fear because she's got the Furiae Attunity. I think about how Emet-Selch tests Minfilia. I think about Minfilia researching to understand Lis and how she lives...
#Liscanon
thinking about the intimacy of Lis laying in Minfilia's arms during Faithtear, weeping as Minfilia pets her hair. thinking about the foiling between Minfilia holding Lis in love and Venat clutching onto the screaming, mauling Morevna of the Dead Leaves during the Sundering.
#Liscanon
I think Lis would like Balatro. I think she would find a way to do weird wizard shit with Balatro and turn her Balatro games into some form of arcane ritual through which cards become talismanic representations of forces and entities. K'haraa would be baffled, and would study it closely.
#Liscanon
Sometimes I think about the intimacy of the fact that every member of the Lycoris Hoard has tasted each other's blood by the end of DT. About how Emet-Selch reacts to seeing his blood spilled on Lis during ShB, about how Gladiolus reacts to Ardyn dripping with gore in the Void.
#Liscanon
I've been rotating a Liscanon ASOIAF au in my head lately, and holy fuck, the idea of Lis coming from Asshai-by-the-Shadow gives me tremendous fevers. K'haraa training in the House of Black and White...... oughhhhhh......
#Liscanon
me, ten minutes before my advanced practicum orientation and SWEATING: what if Lis Amaranth’s first title defense as Grand Champion of the Arcadion was against Crow Locke. what if we got to see the Scarlet Herald of Angelus go full-throttle against the Crow of Memory. that’d be sICK—
#Liscanon
Lis = Elisabeta "Lis" Amara
K'haraa = Kara Miernost
TAM = Tsumiya A. Mitsuhide
Narcissus = Niccolò, after Niccolò Machiavelli.
Gladiolus Amicitia-Kaviraja = Gabriel Alteras-Kaviraja
#Liscanon
nearly half of Liscanon is predicated on these absolutely canon-breaking principles like people from outside of Etheirys being Shards of Etheirys Ancients (Gladiolus being a Shard of Pashtarot and Ardyn being a Shard of Hythlodaeus) and I don't care because I love Liscanon more dKJFklsdf
