My first "Gpose" with Haurchefant vs my most recent Gpose with Haurchefant
#Haurchefant #KasandraBorlaaq #DanceWithDragons #GPose #Heavensward
Because I've never really brought it up before, it was this moment here where Haurchefant grabbed Kas's armor that caused him to gain the scar on his cheek. She slashed at him reflexively.

Kas-andra, possessed by Esteem uncovers an unmarked grave in Western Coerthas with a shovel. "No one knew where they buried you... why would they? The Holy See would rather had you forgotten."
Esteem stands over the body of Fray. "But you were never one I would forget. How could I, when we once were one. But only now, staring at the man I was..."
Fray lays dead on the ground, his helmet resting beside his head. "They would call you a heretic, a monster. Few even knew your name. You were just a Dark Knight."
Esteem angerly looks away from the corpse. "But you were more than that. To Sidurgu, to Rielle, to 'chefant, to Kas-andra. To Me. There was only on word would have called you."
"Friend" (1)

My favorite thing is I have completely overshadowed the #DanceWithDragons hashtag. There is no Song of Ice and Fire to be found in there, only ff14 fanfiction
A younger Haurchefant kneels before Count Edmont who is holding a sword, ready to knight Haurchefant into the service of House Fortemps. Artoirel stands beside his father.
"In the name of The Fury, I charge you to be brave."

One of the unfortunately under developed and somewhat abandoned lore I've written is that Kas has Gaius's sword.
She took it after defeating the Ultima Weapon and used it to tinker and make her own gunblade using Machinist tech.
I haven't worked with that lore for two years :(

To be fit to craft the will to live.
Kassandra was a researcher on Elpis, and love of Hermes and Creation magick made her want to know what made mankind alive and creations not. To learn what a soul truly is.

So while I do try to fit Kas's background into the actual canon world of FF14, Nazarick's background includes a lesser House of Ishgard he is a part of. House Corbeau, the messengers and vassels to House Durendaire. They oversaw Falcon's Nest before the Calamity.
#DanceWithDragons #wolanswer
Being so for real this would probably be the most insanely confusing thing to walk in on if you were just some Ishgardian dude looking for a quiet drink.

Esteem stands before Sidurgu and Rielle. Their appearance is akin to Kas-andra's but they're more masculine in stature, their scales are darker, and their eyes golden like the sun. They call out to them, saying "Sid."
An older Rielle stares at Esteem with confusion. She's heard a familiar yet old voice come from them.
Sidurgu just like Rielle eyes Esteem with suspicion as unlike Rielle, he fully recognized the voice that Esteem spoke with.
Sidurgu's confusion turns to aggression, and he sternly shouts at Esteem. "Who are you?"
I've been thinking about Esteem all night and this scene of Esteem meeting the DRK crew has been stuck in my mind and I needed to get it out even if it was just something simplistic.

(Eorzean script translation in the alt text along with a lot of writing)
What if I made a happy pic for once of Kas when she was a kid with her dad?
#DanceWithDragons #KasandraBorlaaq
Because of timeline shenanigans one of the things that'll never get to be explored alongside MSQ shenanigans will be Adine as an adult traveling with Kas and co. Because she becomes an Archon via research into using dynamis and Astrology.
Because Adine is 8 by DT :l

"Let's write a greek tragedy"
#Azem #Hermes #ff14 #bpose #DanceWithDragons
Yes that is part of #DanceWithDragons I've just never did anything to visually show it much other than like... Body language
At first just having Azem's name be the greek root of my own name felt basic as I mentioned, but as I looked deeper into the meaning of the name it just fit like glove.
#KasandraBorlaaq #wolanswer #DanceWithDragons
Like... She's just a quirky girl who does some sillies from time to time

Kas and Nazarick have both died before.
Kas died in the Vault protecting Haurchefant while Nazarick has died twice. The first time was on the First where he became a Lightwarden and the second was against Zenos.
And yeah... They had serious mental effects for them

Places like this is exactly why I'm looking so forward to Dawntrail for

In leaving for the Steppe she had done what her mother did to her, and left her daughter and family behind.
The difference was that unlike her mother, she came back.

House Corbeau
#DanceWithDragons
Like I ain't joking. Kas grew up hating her dad because he was ashamed in her because she didn't meet the expectations he had for his son. After being gone for a decade and returning to claim her spot in the Steppe he actually rejoiced Kas had returned.

The best part of retirement is waking up to see ✨Him✨
#Greylaaq #WoLchefant #GPOSE #DanceWithDragons
There is only one objectively correct answer and it's Ser Zephirin.
Like genuinely I've never hated a character as much as him, and the way I wrote his end in Dance With Dragons reflects that.

Living Shadow became the culmination of their experimentation. Though will power alone could Esteem stand and fight on their own, no longer needing Kas-andra to call upon the action and power for each strike.

-the fight with Zenos was so severe for Kas-andra she had to retire from adventurering for three years.
-the entire MSQ from ARR-star of DT is 10 years

The feeling of security and the calmness being so close to him allowed her to finally breathe easy and actually get a good night's rest.

Haurchefant has something important to tell you.
