A shot from the Mih Khetto Amphitheatre during Hatchingtide. Apollo in an iridescent blue bunnysuit, bridalcarrying Sphene, who is in a matching iridescent neon green bunnysuit. Apollo is smiling as Sphene wraps her arm around Apollo's head.

An alternate angle, showing Sphene smiling at Apollo.

"Apollo, don't you think this is kind of... *embarrassing*?"
"You're the one who wanted to dress as a bunny, gemstone."
"Not *exactly* what I meant..."

1. Halmarut sitting at a bar, staring at Sphene and Apollo, who are talking with each other down at the other end of the bar. > Halmarut: He's right there... the Warrior of Light... Oh, Zodiark, how in the hells am I supposed to-- *clink* > Halmarut: --huh?

2. A hyuran bartender, shaking a drink and smiling, having just set down a orange cocktail in front of Halmarut. > Bartender: Free drink, courtesy of the young couple down the bar. I guess they saw you and liked your energy.

3. Halmarut running at incredible high speed away from the bar, fear in her eyes. > Halmarut: SORRY GOTTA RUN GOODBYE I'LL PAY MY TAB LATER DON'T WORRY ABOUT IT BYE-BYE > Halmarut (thinking): oh gods oh fuck he saw me he definitely saw me oh no

4. A close-up of Sphene and Apollo, contemplating the auri girl running off. Sphene looks suspicious, while Apollo just looks sad. > Sphene: Hm. On second thought, something seems... off about that girl. > Apollo: If she wasn't interested, she could've just said no...

= The Sower, Seen =
Halmarut's been keeping a close eye on the Source's vaunted hero. Perhaps a wee bit too close, if Apollo and Sphene feel comfortable trying to hit on her.

Apollo and Sphene, cuddling on their bed, completely naked. Apollo is holding Sphene in his lap with his arms wrapped around her and is smiling gently, while Sphene has her hands clasped and is smiling back at Apollo.

It's always fun to reduce your partner to a whimpering puddle, but afterwards you have to be sure they're okay, make them feel safe, and make sure they know they did a good job.

A closeup to Apollo's groomsmen (technically usher is more appropriate since they're of mixed genders); Diana (a light-skinned half-Miqo'te, half-Garlean girl) in a red dress with black trim, Alisaie in a black suit with red tie, and Estinien in a white dress shirt with a blue vest and tie. Diana and Alisaie are cheering, while Estinien is calmly standing.

A close-up of Sphene's bridesmaids, Lamaty'i and Krile. Both are wearing dresses in a kind of intentionally ugly seafoam green. Krile is cheering, while Lamaty'i smiles as she holds a bouquet of roses.

A close-up of the crowd on one side of the chapel. From left to right, front to back; - G'raha, in a black suit, cheering loudly. - Minfilia, in a stunning crimson dress, sitting down and clapping. - Juksie (a blue-skinned Keeper Miqo'te woman), in a greyish-blue suit with light blue tie, giving a standing ovation. - Alphinaud, in a blue suit, applauding the couple. - Urianger, in a black and gold dress, clapping (also his face seems to be neutral but I swear he IS smiling) - Thancred, in a black suit with white cravat, cheering wildly.

A close-up of the other side of the chapel. Left to right, front to back: - Fostis (a dark-skinned Rava Viera man) in a black dress shirt and blue vest, clapping softly. - Cybelese (a light tan-skinned Keeper Miqo'te woman) in a blue and black dress/coat, with her hands clasped together in happiness. - Tataru, in a pink dress and sunflower corsage, happily cheering. - Keltywyda (a green-skinned Sea Wolf Roegadyn woman) in a turquoise dress, cheering boisterously. - Sasanori (a tan-skinned Dunesfolk Lalafell man) in a black suit, clapping joyfully.

= Wedding Day (2/2) =
Instead, once the celebration in Alexandria had ended, it was agreed, a small cohort of the newlywed couple's closest friends would get together and have a *proper* wedding, one that was *truly* for the loving couple.

A close-up of Sphene, who is smiling widely at Apollo as she touches him tenderly.

= Wedding Day (1/2) =
A royal wedding would necessitate a massive public ceremony, with hundreds of Very Important People in attendance to congratulate the Queen and her new consort.

But that couldn't be the *real* wedding, could it?

Sphene and Apollo in their house. Both are naked, save for Sphene's tiara and Apollo's aetherstrap. Sphene is on her knees, struggling to give the glowing blue strap-on dildo a blowjob, practically choking on it as her mascara runs, her arms wrapped around Apollo's legs. Meanwhile, Apollo holds a hand onto Sphene's head, forcing her to suck more.

Sometimes, you have to just hunker down and make your wife choke on an aetherstrap. It's an important part of maintaining a healthy relationship.

Apollo (in a blue suit with yellow bowtie and flower) and Sphene (in a white dress with green cape and gloves and a bronze and silver tiara with inlaid sphenes) standing near the big cherry tree in Ul'dah during Little Ladies' Day. Apollo is standing like a butler at attention, smiling softly at Sphene, while Sphene is excitedly posing next to him, happy to see him getting into the spirit of the season.

It's easy to get into the spirit of "every woman can be a princess" when your partner is quite literally a queen.

1. "Apollo & Sphene, Valentione's in Ishgard, 1581" (written in clean, compact penmanship) Apollo and Sphene, the former in a blue canvas jacket and leather cap, the latter in a pastel yellow sweater and green scarf, standing in front of the fountain in Empyreum (which has been decorated for Valentione's Day), smiling and making hearts with their hands towards the camera.

2. "black cat + onyx shade, headed 2 studio bee-4" (written in messy, crooked handwriting) Fray (in his usual black leather jacket and turtleneck getup) and Yaana (in her black croptop and pink poofy jacket) standing each with their hands on their hips (with one of Fray's wrapped around Yaana's waist) as they smirk defiantly at the camera.

3. "Alisaie Leveilleur and Diana Celeris, enjoying their tour of the Sharlayan homeland in the Moon of Menphina, in the Fifteen Hundred and Eighty-First Year of the Sixth Astral Era" (written in very formal calligraphy) Alisaie (in a red denim jacket) and Diana (in a red leather jacket and black plaid skirt) smiling at the camera as Alisaie stands in front of Diana and Diana puts her hand on Alisaie's shoulder.

4. "last day together" (written in pen somewhat simply and uncarefully) Elidibus standing in a garden in Elpis, smiling at the camera with a nervous but happy expression (half obscured by his Convocation mask) as he rubs his left arm. There's a noticeable negative space to his left.

For some, Valentione's Day is a celebration. For others, an excuse to party, or to have a quiet night with their beloved.

For others, it's a time of mourning.

1. Sphene - dressed in a white tanktop and green jacket hanging off the shoulder - and Apollo - dressed in a rugged blue and tan leather jacket with a halfmask around his neck and goggles on his forehead, along with a bone glaive on his back - are in a pop-up camp in the desert. Sphene is looking up from her book and reacting with fear to something off screen, while Apollo is crouching and looking with annoyance. Sphene: Oh my Gog... Is that what I think it is? Apollo: What are you seei-- Oh, you have GOT to be kidding me.

2. A view from inside the tent, behind the two, as they watch a giant brute wyvern nomming down on a hunt of raw meat on a rack outside. Apollo: Just my damn luck, huh? Sphene: Looks like a brute wyvern? I've not seen one in this environment before...

3. Apollo pulls down his goggles and draws his glaive as he runs out of the tent while Sphene looks up at him, giving authorization to hunt the monster. Sphene: Um... To protect the safety of our research team, and also our future prospects for lunch, the Guild authorizes you to hunt this monster. Apollo: Yeah, yeah, don't gotta tell me twice.

= Windward BBQ =
In this branch of the Hunters Guild, it's tradition for a hunter to hunt and cook a meal for a new handler on their first deployment together.

It's generally considered a good idea to survey the area first.

Sphene is happily nomming on one while Apollo smiles happily at her.

Never was there a better celebration of love across the star, Apollo knew, than the grand party held by House Valentione. Getting to celebrate it with his soulmate was better than he could have imagined.

1. Sphene, in an oversized blue t-shirt, walking down the stairs looking frustrated and tired. Sphene: Apollo, are you home? I need someone to hug me while I scream into a pillow. Sphene: You would not believe how stuck up and pretentious these Ul'dahn diplomats can b-- 2. Sphene is now looking out from over the railing, looking befuddled and tired. SFX: Ghmmnnm! (Gemstone!) Sphene: ...Apollo?

3. Sphene is now walking down the room to investigate the gagged moaning. Sphene: Apollo, I swear to the heavens, if I find you in some damned situation again... 4. A view from behind Sphene as she looks down at the couch, seeing Apollo in red tape bondage, a black pump gag with red bulb, and what looks like a techwear collar, lying down on the couch and looking up at her. Apollo: Mh ghmmthmm! Mmnm thmmnmmn! (Hi gemstone! Merry Starlight!) Sphene: Huh. And here I thought we said we weren't going to do gift-wrapped presents this year.

5. A shot near Apollo's feet, of Sphene and Apollo cuddling on the bed, with Sphene's leg and arm wrapped around Apollo. Sphene: Gosh, you're shockingly cuddly when you're wrapped up like this. 6. A close-up of Sphene's face, as she has a mildly devilish expression as she cups Apollo's breast. Sphene: Though personally, I'm looking forward to unwrapping my gift this year. Apollo: Mnnmmmm...

7. A close-up of Apollo's face as he smiles through the pump gag at Sphene. Sphene: ...Wait, how did you get tied up in the first place if you were alone this whole time? Apollo: Ghmhmnnm... (Carefully...)

What Starlight gift do you get for the woman who is Literally A Queen and thus has a very high baseline amount of wealth despite her best efforts?

A giftwrapped butch is a pretty good starting point.

A shot of Apollo and Sphene in the Starlight plaza in Gridania. Apollo is wearing a blue jacket with a red scarf over a blue sweater and a blue and brown leather cap, while Sphene is wearing a poofy green winter coat. Sphene is looking up with wonder at everything around her, while Apollo is looking at her with adoration.

A shot of Alphinaud, Alisaie, and G'raha. Alphinaud and Alisaie are wearing red and white Starlight tunics and are sitting atop the gift boxes on the sleigh in the plaza, while G'raha - wearing a similar tunic and a Starlight tree-themed hat - is inspecting the boxes.

A shot of Urianger, Thancred, and Y'shtola. Thancred is dressed as the Saint of Nymeia and is sitting on a box pondering. Urianger, dressed as a Saint's helper, is laughing, smiling down at Thancred. Y'shtola is in a more revealing version of the same outfit, and is sipping from a cup of mulled wine.

A wide shot, showing all three scenes from before.

The Ninth never had a winter holiday like the Starlight Celebration, so experiencing one for the first time - and in Gridania, no less - was certainly an awe-inspiring moment for Alexandria's young queen.

Sphene and Apollo standing in a field in the Occult Crescent South Horn. Apollo is wearing the Moonward maiming set - blue metal armor with a big cape and metal bands around her unarmored arms - and a white and blue bandana, and is holding a large trident - the phantasmal spear penumbrae. Sphene is wearing white and green adventuring clothes, practical for combat with a leather and cloth vest and leather bracers, accented with a grey shawl around her shoulders and a white chapeau with a white and green feather. In her right hand is the Quetzalli sword; a silver blade with a green feather design around the hilt and inlaid with engraved runes and green gems. The two have their weapons at the ready, and are looking at each other and smiling.

hell yeah apollene lore dump time :D

feel free to ask more than one question

#apollene #apolloffxiv

1. Sphene is sitting on a couch, staring with a blank, slackjawed smile at a glowing blue crystal standing upright on the table, which seems to be the only light in the room. Apollo: How are you feeling, gemstone? Sphene: Kinda fuzzy, miss... Apollo: I can tell. You haven't stopped smiling since I told you to stare at this. Sphene: It's so pretty, miss... Apollo: That's right. It's so nice to look at. So nice to just let that beautiful light take away all your will. Take away all your thoughts. Just keep staring at it for me, okay, my gemstone? Sphene: Yes, miss...

2. Sphene is yelling at Apollo as he walks up the stairs, looking mildly baffled at her. Sphene: How exactly, Apollo, do you expect me to even try and resist a magic thought-draining crystal!? Apollo: I mean, it IS magic, but it's my Crystal of Light. With Hydaelyn gone and Her blessing no longer coming direct from the tap, it's mostly just a water-aspected nightlight. Apollo: I think you might just be easy, gem.

Apollo and Sphene walking through Sapphire Avenue in Ul'dah. Sphene is wearing a pink collar and leash, the other end of which is held by Apollo. Sphene's arms are wrapped around herself as she smiles uncontrollable, looking down with a nervous blush. Apollo, meanwhile, has a mildly evil sneer across her face. Apollo: So, gemstone? You holding up alright? Sphene: meow... Apollo: Aww, has your voice not come back yet? I really got you good with that one, didn't I? Sphene: mrow... Apollo: You're lucky, you know that? Sapphire Avenue's usually WAY busier this time of day. Could you imagine an entire city's worth of people seeing you like this? Sphene: mrrp? Apollo: Oh, wow. Your face is red red. That got you good, hm? Maybe next time I'll take you for a walk somewhere a bit... busier. Sphene: mrrrrr...

Hypnovember Day 3 - Pet

Being reduced to a pet, unable to speak, and walked around? Embarrassing. Having it happen while being fully aware? Sphene's blushing hard enough to cause concern.

I'm not actually a big fan of zombie walking as a hypno trope, but as a hypno creator I'd feel pretty weird if I didn't do it at least once.

Besides, Sphene probably finds it fun to embarrass her wife like this :)

Apollo is kneeling in front of her, wearing a white sleeveless shirt and blue canvas pants. > Sphene: Um... You know, Apollo, I'm not entirely sure about going a whole month. > Sphene: I know I said I could do it but... it just hit me that this is actually... you know... happening.

2. A reverse shot, showing Sphene from the rear as Apollo looks up at her with a devious expression on his face. > Apollo: Come on, gemstone. Who was it who said "anyone can do that" and "it's not that big a deal," hm? > Apollo: It's only a month. You can hold out that long for me, can't you?

Apollo got sent through the #locktober wringer last year, but now he's got someone else to inflict it on! Surely Sphene can handle one month, right?

Sphene sitting on her bed, wearing casual attire like a t-shirt. Kneeling next to her is Apollo, dressed in a blue latex catsuit, blue pawmitts, blue leather collar, and a blue droolhound hood - a hood very vaguely shaped like a cat or dog's head, with a simple toyhole for a mouth and a white lock decal where the eyes should be. Unseen in this angle but present in others is a blue null bulge with a white lock decal. Sphene is caressing the face of Wuk Lamat, who has been put into an identical suit as Apollo, albeit colored orange instead of blue.
