a picture of cyma and zero sitting on a rock in the middle of a shallow stream with lily pads around. both have their legs in the water. zero leaning back against cyma's front, cyma's arm around her waist and their tail coming around to drape across her lap. zero holds their free hand in her vestigial voidsent one, examining their intertwined fingers while cyma simply rests their chin on her head, content to stare

[ comfortable coils ]
#wardeneater #sinsent

an image of cyma (a marble au ra with golden scales) holding zero (a deathly pale hyur with a monstrous arm) in their arms securely, tail winding up around them both against a foggy white background. the image is strangely out of focus, the forefront on their hands on her waist and their tail while the actual two individuals' faces are mostly out of frame and out of focus. distant, far from the viewer in their own world as they rest foreheads together

[ gentle exception ]

#sinsent

a pose of zero and cyma in a pool of water. zero kneels, holding cyma's relaxed body across her legs, a hand under the back of their head. one of cyma's arms wraps around zero's back, claws just brushing her shoulder as they lay there, tail curling up towards zero. zero has her heart out of her chest, pressing it against cyma's stone sternum as if she means to press it inside, the arteries still attached to her own body between the bandages around her chest. she presses her forehead to cyma's even as she looks down at her hand crushing the organ to them, a heartbeat eminating from it. a sort of indelicate, desperate closeness

[ clumsy confession ]
#wardeneater | #sinsent

a relaxed shot of cyma sitting on the edge of a rough stone wall. their large spiney golden tail hangs down over one side, and resting in the curve of it is a dressed down zero, lounging against the metallic scales and tracing some of the spines with her fingers

a zoomed in hot of zero, her gaze turned to examine the scales beside her face, expression impassive as ever but intent even as her posture is trusting of the thing holding her weight

[ special privilege ]
#wardeneater #sinsent

a pose of zero wrapped in the coils of a winged white snake, its head bent in an arch to reach open maw for her. zero reaches up towards it, cradling it even as its jaws threaten to envelope her head, expression a strange mix of calm and intense attention, welcoming the teeth scraping through her hair and against her cheek and throat. the lighting is dark, half zero's teal and half a vivid red, stark against the twined figures captured in a moment of surrender

in every universe so far, cyma's partner has been non-au ra. they aren't very original, i fear they find ears a fascination and point of charm across the board
#sinsent

an image of a storming sky, distant cliffs outlined against a grey cloudy expanse and heavy rain, dark blurs in two corners as if the view is just slightly obscured in the peripheral by something

a zoomed out image to show cyma (an au ra of marble body and golden scales) sitting on a riverbank in kozama'uka, bright flowers, trees and grasses behind them even amidst the midday torrential rains. they hold one hand up, the eye given by zero pulled from their broken socket casually, held aloft as if to get a better view, trails of black blood just breaking as they stretch between eye and socket. cyma looks serene, dressed simply and alone on the bank

a closer shot. cyma has lowered their hand to look at the eye now, rolling it between their clawed fingers so it looks back at them, their now empty socket a pitch black hole. yet they are unfazed, intent on the piece of their distant ... something.

a slightly pulled back shot as cyma bends their head to kiss zero's eye, giving action to a longing in theri chest. there is much yet to see, and while they elate in being able to show her their world, their momento far off in the void gives little such insight into her current being, and the distance seems especially long at times such as these

a distant image of two figures. one tall and pale, draped in soft cloth, the other smaller and dark, armored, feet off the surface held in the taller's embrace. they dance atop a body of murky deep waters, glowing ripples at the contact of the taller's feet, faint glowing fog surrounding them

a close up of their dancing feet, the dark armored one's well off the ground, the taller's stepping delicately despite the weight of two

a close up of the figure's entwined hands, zero's armored hand in cyma's scaled stone one, zero's head in the crook of cyma's shoulder, relaxed against them

a close up of the back, cyma's hand hovering at the small of zero's back, not clutching but ready to catch, to support

image of cyma and zero's light parties combined into a full party. the background is split white and black to their sides, and in order there is mulberry mist (a pinkish roegadyn with moth-like features), miss alaneas (a small lalafellen appearing individual with aspects of a cat), corv (a relatively normal highlander woman wielding an intricate mage's cane), cyma clay (a tall, marble pale au ra with golden scales and a giant sword), zero (a pale individual equipped as a dark paladin with vestiges of her voidsent avatar form), nephele (a hrothgar with siamese patterning wearing furs and cloth, roses growing out of her flesh), golbez (golbez), and Almos (a broad roegadyn with flesh warped into a deep sea creature's. and a huge hat)

3 page doodle of two little guys who have just enough detail to show them as zero final fantasy and cyma clay, the posters wol. the progression shows zero asking how voidsent taste, cyma signing they can help, and both of them sharing a vision of cyma biting zero’s arm with equally intrigued expressions

image of the poster's wol, a tall gangly au ra dressed in a black fancy outfit beside zero also dressed in fancy blacks although with their own fashion whims. they stand by side before a red carpeted staircase, cyma leaning ovver to drape on zero's shoulder while zero's arm is around cyma's waist. cyma casually holds zero's decapitated head off her shoulders to rest their cheek against hers, their own outfit revealing the gaping absence of their midriff with only golden bones and crystal guts exposed, both very much alive but just quirky immortals like that

// decapitation

a triplet of images showing the very simple succession of cyma clay adding the zero mammet to their collection of the scions in their apartment. the first image shows the lineup, with the wind-up alphinaud in arr gear, the wind-up alisaie in heavensward gear, wind up y'shtola in shadowbringers gear, wind up urianger in shadowbringers gear, wind-up graha in shadowbringers gear, and finally zero in her own reaper gear. the next image shows zero being placed gently at the end of the line, as if showing the order of when the individuals these mammets represent were allowed into cyma's estimation. the final image shows them sitting comfortably at their desk in the near dark, surrounded by their books and papers to study, the small mammets tucked safely to one side

#wardeneater | #sinsent | #wolzeroweek

an image depicting cyma, the poster's au ra wol, seated at a table in thavnair. on one knee sits the zero minion, currently being teased by the them as the push the brim of the minion's hat down like the original used to do. Another picture overlays the first showing another angle of the same scenario, but with a better view of cyma's as ever neutral expression; yet an air of amusement hovers along with little drawn on flowers hanging around them as they examine the mammet

#wardeneater | #sinsent | #wolzeroweek

a gpose of the poster's wol and zero waist deep in a sea of dark liquid. zero drapes on cyma's arm as the hold her, pulling a sword out of her back; one of many weapons yet impaled there. she clings to their arm as they bend to kiss her head, soothing, even as a sword still pierces them through. one all to familiar with this face who does not want to see her suffer it

#wardeneater | #sinsent | #wolzeroweek

image of zero final fantasy sitting at a table in the radz-at-han restaurant with alisaie, where zero sits with her arms crossed listening to alisaie say "I'll show you a neat trick"

the seen switches to view alisaie over zero's shoulder, as she demonstrates saying "If you need our friend's attention, just hold your hand up like so."

view switches back to zero, with a blurry familiar figure in the background, zero halfheartedly mimicking alisaie with a distant expression. her dialogue starts to say "I don't see how this-" but is cut off

next frame is the poster's wol, cyma clay with their chin placed in zero's palm where it was raised, their dialogue only three periods and a question mark as they seem to have been summoned by the motion, alisaie covering her laughter in the background

an image of zero final fantasy as the poster re-imagines her; a dark paladin with vestiges of her avatar form such as an extra hand covering one eye overlaps in two images. the background one zero standing with sword over one shoulder, out of focus with black blood pouring down over her face which is barely in shot, looking in the midst battle. in the foreground a more relaxed close shot of zero looking off to one side, the shot framed white against the background. over the fore image is a cutout of the poster's wol's half face, the side that has zero's missing eye implanted in the broken socket. from the eye bloods numerous images of various lands of the source, all flowing together like running water spilling out of the foreground frame and out into the rest of the complete picture. a layered portrait about how cyma shares their every journey with her now across the rift, through her eye.

#wardeneater | #sinsent | #wolzeroweek

a close shot of the poster's version of zero final fantasy. she's garbed in dark cloth layered over light armor, with dark smudgy bruising over her one visible eye, the other concealed by a vestigial hand like her voidsent avatar form., overall leaning more into the dark paladin aesthetic. she holds close a white sword which stands at odds with herself and her surroundings, the thing giving off particles of light as she rests her cheek against the handle, eyes closed as if its presence comforts. the sword is the very same cyma (the poster's wol) formed from the light she had absorbed when it backfired against her darkness. cyma pulled the light free, claimed it, then shaped it into a tool and gave it back. it is maintained by their will across the rift, and its presence tells her they persist, along with her eye in their possession.

the poster's wol, a marble pale au ra with golden scales. they wear a ragged tunic of white cloth with worn brown belts strapped across it, hand wrapped in similar fashion with metal armor at the tips of the fingers forming claws. one of their eyes is a black pit with an x shaped glowing pupil; their own eye, while the other is a teal reaper eye embedded in the broken open socket on the other side. one of their hands is raised to shield the staring teal eye from the glaring light all around them, giving more care to that side than anthing else, dark particles coming off of the eye as well as darkness dripping from it. for all it seems gruesome, they act unfazed by its presence; even protective of it, for this is zero's eye she gave them to see their world with.

an image of the poster's wol, a marble pale au ra with golden scales. they're bending backwards, holding their hand over their face making a circle with their thumb and forefinger over one eye. within the circle is a cutout of zero's eye overlaying where her eye had been placed in their head, and framing them is various cutouts of scenery from across 14's maps, almost like a scrapbook

[ Sightseeing Log ]

#wardeneater | #sinsent | 🧵

a cinematic screenshot from ffxiv depicting the poster’s wol, cyma; a marble white au ra with golden scales and white hair, and zero final fantasy being overtaken by her voidsent avatar form. the two are locked in conflict, cyma holding zero’s head—the last part of her not consumed by the avatar form—severed at the neck and away from the body that reaches for it with red fleshy strands. zero’s expressions on is flat and she resists, stabbing the haft end of her scythe into cyma’s left eye where light leaks out from the wound of the warden.

#wardeneater | #sinsent

an image of the poster's character, a marble pale au ra with golden scales and white hair wearing red and black traveling clothes and zero from final fantasy as the poster re-imagines her (a dark paladin wielding two blades) standing on the red moon of the 13th shard. a zoomed out image where zero is holding cyma's face, and text overlays saying "i never did get to see all of your world."

continuing the previous scene, it has zoomed in on zero's face, with cyma's face just out of shot and angle. zero has the faintest smile while speaking, and teal energy akin to zero's signature aether glows around a thumb she has placed over cyma's shattered eye socket, and her own covered eye beneath the vestigial void hand over her left eye. text overlay says "so,"

another angle of the scene, showing zero's back and a little more of cyma's face, their eye slightly widening as zero's glowing thumb passes over their socket; a wound zero herself inflicted in their struggle before zeromus.

a zoomed up shot showing zero's back and cyma's full face. zero's hands cradle cyma's cheeks, thumb now no longer obscuring the socket; which is an empty socket no longer. an eye identical to zero's teal reaper eyes, her very own, now sits in cyma's face, filling the damaged area. overlay text finishes with "show me."

an image of the poster's ffxiv character, a marble pale au ra with golden scales and white hair wearing priestly attire of a clean black shirt, white under collar and red sash over black pants and fine black shoes. a giant cross shaped artillery weapon casually sits on their back, and they walk beside a companion. the companion--zero--is dressed in a long blue coat and black leather strappy gloves and boots. she wears teal round sunglasses with zigzag arms and several dark black wings sprout from her right side, one even emerging from her eye under the sunglasses. the other character, cyma, seems fascinated by the wings, reaching over tro touch one under zero's watchful eye, her arms crossed.
