species wise declan is probably closest to a white-tailed jackrabbit to me. spiritually though she is this image specifically #decstuff

declan is a shit tank. her accelerated healing factor makes her pretty resilient to non-aetheric damage but she's not very strong and she doesn't give a fuck about strategy or positioning because her #1 objective is to laser blast aether as fast as possible. she is NOT spinning that boss #decstuff

weaving and sewing! declan grew up in a viera clan of master weavers and textile crafters and also had to make all of her own clothes when she ran away to eorzea because she had no money. fun fact in dec!canon she was actually the one who taught tataru to sew #decstuff

a watered-down beer and some salted dried meat. it's gross but it works and is a technique honed after years of steady alcohol overconsumption #decstuff

tumblr anonymous ask reading "how are you nonbinary but she/her" and a mournful declan responding "please... the pronouns is all i have left of my mother" with a little headshot showing her gorgeous but unfortunately very dead mom frigga

tumblr textpost that encapsulates declan's whole gender + pronouns deal more accurately than any 5 page explainer i could write on the topic #decstuff

ship chart for declan and estinien (declastinien) describing the aspects of their cringe relationship

at my partner's place this weekend and commandeered their copy of monhun wilds to create human declan. whom i am now in love with. her nose!! #decstuff

if it doesn't involve estinien declan just laughs about it and if she's close enough with the person she probably sends it to them as a bit (yshtola). if it does involve estinien shes printing that shit out laminating it and jorking it crazy style #decstuff

romantic compatibility bingo for suri swiftclaw. declan matches 18/25 of the squares for three complete bingoes.

late as hell but it's so hilarious to me that declan went triple platinum on the compatibility bingo for @swiftclaws.bsky.social. they're eyebrow4eyebrow #decstuff

tataru tweet: we all have that one homie who's not gonna make it declan tweet immediately preceding this: lunch time (photo of an entire bottle of aldgoat milk next to an entire bottle of blackbelly whiskey)

this tweet redraw represents the core of her character better than any wolqotd #decstuff

declan knows nothing abt healing until post-EW when she quits BLM and starts trying to learn SGE to use her aether bomb-ness for less destructive purposes... she's good at it due to sheer huge aether volume but also getting healed by her feels like being shot with ionizing radiation. lmao #decstuff

super ultra magically powerful even without training. everyone wants her carnally despite her being unbearably glib and withdrawn 99% of the time. ass incredulously fat. i could go on #decstuff

as a walking aetheric hydrogen bomb declan CAN use magic without a focus but it's uncontrollably destructive and breaks her body apart. thankfully nuclear reactor privileges also mean she has an accelerated healing factor so she gets better (extremely painful) <3 #decstuff

if i think about estinien defending declan's insensate body from zenos at ghimlyt dark and then carrying her to safety too much i literally start losing it #decstuff

declan and estinien have at least 2 canonical full yelling matches during the hydaelyn saga over which of them gets to die for the cause. guys who want to be self-sacrificial so bad but also refuse to let anyone else do it #decstuff

a fellow teen viera back when declan was still part of her home clan. declan was strongly disliked and ostracized by the clan leadership so the relationship never went anywhere beyond that. sad! #decstuff

i picked viera because theyre tall and sexy. i had zero plans in mind for declan in the beginning and just piloted her around as a player proxy until the end of ARR when i realized i was actually getting attached, and then i really only started trying to backsplain her lore during StB #decstuff

i love pain and angst and suffering and hate joy so every day i wake up and hit declan on the head with an enormous steel mallet. one day i'll post her emo ass backstory and you'll all see #decstuff

if you see this post a viera!!

declan in her EW getup <3 #decstuff

when declan first fled to eorzea at 19 she had zero money so she's worked a lot of random manual labor jobs like farmhanding and hunting. she lives cheaply so once she joined the scions tataru just started bankrolling her out of pity #decstuff

yes. because there is no world in which tataru would let the hot rabbit market go untapped #decstuff

declan inherited almost all of her coloration from her father, including her natural dark brown hair. the radiation blue streaks are her own recipe though #decstuff

declan and estinien as that one couples redraw meme because i have a disease #decstuff #declastinien

cherenkov radiation blue <3 it matches her freak ass eyes <3 #decstuff

i really want to make one of those voice claim video snippets but the thing is that my voice claim for declan is salma hayek, specifically with the cadence she uses as kitty softpaws, and she has no lines in that role that arent explicitly puss in boots related. sad #decstuff

declan continues a trend of ocs with powers they don't understand + who view themselves as tools for the utility to others. and rest assured i will continue #decstuff

declan x estinien = declastinien. yes this is annoying to say but so are they #decstuff
