Hadrian and his twin sister, I'dati, arm wrestling on a bright red rug. They both kick their legs excitedly in a near mirror of each other as they are locked in a stalemate arm wrestling.
#MiqoMarch2026 Day 5: Crimson
Back when they were young, before everything was complicated, they used to arm wrestle on the rug in the house.

Tav (Octavel) points to a spot on the map while Hadrian studies it with a furrowed brow. Tav is smiling because he's pretty sure he's right.
Same verse as the first except the camera is pivoted to shoot them from the front, showing how Tav has his hand on Hadrian's left shoulder as they discuss the map.

A little recon work.

Hadrian and Thancred idling somewhere in Sharlayan, Hadrian leaning against the stone wall while Thancred sits atop it. Both have their arms crossed.
#MiqoMarch2026 Day 2: Guardian
Not that he tries to notice but the boy he's been given is quite prone to copying him.

The Worldly Affairs Officer in the foreground wags his finger in the foreground at Louisoix, who appears to be talking back from where he stands behind Hadrian. Hadrian stands close to the Worldly Affairs desk, writing down his answers to their initial questions. He's applying to work and live in Old Sharlayan.
A closer shot of Hadrian writing in his answers, Louisoix slightly out of focus behind him.
#MiqoMarch2026 Day 1: Begin
Hadrian fills out the paperwork to enter Sharlayan while Louisoix is scolded by the affairs officer.

A dimmed shot of Thancred and his granddaughter from behind at a distance, showing how many lovely flowers decorate the area. On the left somewhat parallel to the two walking are the words "The End" in white script.
#Thanuary2026 final bonus! It's The End.
I have gposed and written some of Thancred's worsts for the #valtiaverse but this is a gift for him. A happy little ever after for the man who began with nothing and no one.
Its for you, Thancred. This time it *is* for you.
Thancred with his back pressed to a seemingly load bearing part of the wall in a stairway corridor in Limsa, Urianger having "kabedoned" him sort of. They were clearly playing around and the teasing has gone someplace.
#Thanuary Day 30: Caught
You heard a scuffle nearby and took a peek around the corner in Limsa. It seems some Elezen has cornered a Hyur.

Tiny, teeny, absolutely microscopic Thancred (age 5) tucked in behind some boxes and barrels in Limsa, leaned against the box trying to sleep.
#Thanuary Day 29: Past
Finding a place to tuck into sleep is one of the first priorities he learns once they kick him out of the orphanage.

Thancred is Ultima Thule. He stands contented, eyes closed, smiling slightly.

Thancred carrying three sacks of a Mysterious Contents (TM) in the Waking Sands supplies area while A'aba, Arenvald, and Aulie take a break on some of the already unloaded goods. The A squad is chatting amongst themselves happily.
A closer shot of Thancred carrying the Sacks (TM), the focal length reducing my favorite trio to smudged shapes.
#Thanuary Day 26: Work
Everyone in the Waking Sands pitches in when its time to unload the monthly supplies, even roguish bards and the A squad.

A shot of Thancred sitting on his bed in the Pendants, dressed down for the evening to just his shirt and pants, his choker held in his left hand. He is idly considering the piece as he thinks.
Another shot, this time from Thancred's right, giving a more full view of his sitting position.
A closer shot over, slightly over his right shoulder. It highlights how his ponytail is swept over his shoulder.
#Thanuary Day 25: Belt
Idle reflection upon his life one evening, prompted by the choker he had commissioned on the First. Somehow such an affect had been become standard, though he cannot remember when he began to wear one.

I realized because of my barely shortening of my WoL’s name I accidentally keep misspelling the verse tag so now I have #valtiverse and #valtiaverse 😬
Thancred at a table in the Cabinet of Curiosity in the Crystarium, books piled high beside him and a notepad in front of him that he's been writing on.
#Thanuary Day 23: Write
Being whisked away to another world leaves a lot of studying to be done and notes to be taken.

Thancred and Urianger sitting in front of a fire at their campsite in the Steppe, Urianger looking up presumably at the stars. Thancred is looking down between them, where Urianger has taken his hand.
Thancred has reciprocated the hold, the shot turned and zoomed in to focus from more in front of the two, giving a decent view of their hands.
A shot taken from behind them, showing the sky that Urianger is looking at.
#Thanuary Day 22: Camp
Urianger thinks he's subtle.

A portrait shot close up of Hadrian carrying a passed out kid Thancred. It seems to be quite late as Hadrian makes his way across Sharlayan.
A pulled back landscape shot of Hadrian carrying Thancred back to the dorms.
#Thanuary Day 17: Mentor
With how intense training often became, Hadrian was often seen ferrying his apprentice back to the dorms.

In The Forgotten Knight Valtia holds Alphinaud prison in airjail as Tataru watches to keep him from attacking some poor sod with his Sharlayan College Degree.
Tataru looks worried as others in The Forgotten Knight look on, including the proprietor.
Alphinaud looks EXTREMELY POUTY and MAD while Valti looks absolutely fucking done with his shit.
Same verse as the last, save for the shot is taken from the right and zoomed out a bit.

Thancred, as a student of the Espionage Suite of Sharlayan, stands holding a bottle of poison, boxed into some storage closet on site. Four other espionage students, Sharlayan born and bred, stand jeering at him in some manner.
Thancred has raised the poison to his lips, the liquid not yet reaching him as the others look on, some seeming to be laughing.
Thancred thereafter collapsed to the floor, the poison quick to take effect as the others look on.
A close shot of Thancred unconscious on the floor.
#Thanuary Day 10: Memory - The Incident
A happening in the Espionage Suite that lives in infamy, necessitating the memory wipe of four students. The results of xenophobia, a student imbibed poison under duress.

Hadrian and I'dati being scolded by one of the Tias, Hadrian talking back while I'dati hides behind him.

Life in the I Tribe
[ #gpose | #hadrian | #FFXIV | #miqote | #pre1.0 | #valtiaverse ]
In the Trivium, an adult Ryne kneels beside a violet haired Eldite girl, her newly adopted daughter. She holds an open hand out, there on her knees, showing her daughter the lightning bug that has landed on her fingers. Gaia stands behind the two, another lightning bug perched on her index finger.
Another shot of the three, though turned to show how Gaia is slightly smiling at the bug on her finger, seemingly amused at its presence.
A close shot of Ryne and their daughter. She is speaking about the bug, clearly, explaining how it is able to create such a light all on its own.
✨Light of their Lives✨
Ryne and Gaia adopt a young eldite girl.

Ryne has rushed Thancred immediately to take him up on the tentative offer for a hug. She is definitely crushing him as the other three look on.
Gaia is definitely chuckling over the sight, Urianger just generally pleased as punch to wait his turn.
An extra shot because I gave Ryne a hat because I like suffering. Making sure that bitch didn't clip made my life hell.
#Thanuary Day 7: Reunion (2/2)
[ #gpose | #thancred | #ryne | #gaia | #urianger | #FFXIV | #valtiaverse | #hyur | #elezen ]
In Il Mheg a now adult Ryne speaks with some pixie. Behind her stands a stunned Thancred, Urianger patting his back gently as they look at their now grown daughter. Gaia has lead them to her, as she was absent at the Crystarium for their sudden successful arrival.
Thancred stands, mouth open, staring at his adoptive daughter's back. Urianger's hand lingers on his shoulder, the other man watching him with a slight smile.
Another shot of them looking on as Ryne remains oblivious to their presence, continuing to speak with the pixie. But not for very much longer...
The pixie has informed Ryne of visitors, and she has turned to find faces she had not expected to see again. She is stunned utterly. Urianger raises a hand to wave at her, Thancred opens his arms, and Gaia just is gesturing with a little flourish to their visitors.
#Thanuary Day 7: Reunion
Though the years may be long my affection for you remains strong. (1/2)

Thancred in the depths of the Eulmore prison level, scoping out the area disguised as a member of the guard.
A shot where he looks toward the heavy, iron door at the back which is his target of interest. He is searching for the way to get to Minfilia.
#Thanuary Day 6: Search
They say there's a girl locked away in the depths that has flaxen hair and sky bright eyes.

Twin miqo'te stand with their backs to the camera, looking out at the cliffs across the water. The twins have red violet hair and are both dressed in a rich sort of cyan. Seemingly they are both female.
Now shown from the front, the twin with the longer hair leans forward with her hands on the rail, smiling as she enjoys the view on the clear day. Her sister is not looking out, but rather at her twin, her hands behind her head. This is in fact a young Hadrian, long before transition.
Another shot from their backs, this time more to their right, showing another view of the La Noscean cliffs.
Once upon a time in La Noscea, twins were born to the I Tribe...

A shot of Thancred as a young child, sitting on a dock in Limsa Lominsa, holding his side and looking into the ocean. It's clear he's nursing some injury. This is years before The Incident so his natural hair color (green) is still present. The shot uses the Echo filter to indicate it's past tense.
Thancred as an adult (17, his first night back in Eorzea after years spent in Sharlayan), standing on the same dock in the shot of him as a child. He looks up at the stars instead of down into the water, mind clearly elsewhere. The shot is in Bright4, which I use generally for current era shots.
#Thanuary Day 5: City
What does it mean to have a home when you've always been alone?
[ #gpose | #thancred | #FFXIV | #valtiaverse | #hyur ]
In the Bookman's Shelves Thancred and Urianger sit in the storage loft above the main area, Minfilia (Ryne) seen on the floor below speaking jovially with three pixies. At present Urianger is healing a deep wound on Thancred's palm, an injury he'd kept hidden.
#Thanuary Day 4: Hidden
What Minfilia doesn't know about can't hurt her.

Thancred runs his index finger along the merchant's bag strap as he leans on the man, clearly flirting with him for some purpose or another.

There are other ways of persuasion, there are other modes of control...

Thancred, roughly 9 years old, blocking the first strike Hadrian does with one of his master's knives, which is why it is fuckass huge. Like lil bro that is a sword for you wtf.
Determined little guy!!! Absolutely ready to become a contract killer for the state.

Solo training with Hadrian after The Incident
[ #gpose | #thancred | #hadrian | #FFXIV | #hyur | #miqote | #pre1.0 | #valtiaverse ]
Thancred (post-poisoning arc) perched on a rocky hillside, watching his Master coming up the road. Hadrian is seemingly strolling unaware of his presence, arms crossed as he walks.
It seems he's not so unaware after all, waving to Thancred as he approaches the stairs.
A shot of Hadrian from the front, a slight smirk of amusement at seeing the boy waiting for him.
Thancred scrambles away, seemingly embarrassed to have been caught waiting. Which was hilarious because he was extremely obvious things considered. Hadrian sweats a bit at the odd behavior.
Fickle Child

A scene in the middle of the introduction of Thancred to his future Master, Hadrian, who is one head of the Espionage suite of Sharlayan. Louisoix stands speaking with Hadrian out front of his estate, who is gesturing with exasperation at this sudden addition. Thancred stands in part obscured by Louisoix's leg and hand, the boy himself staring off with a frown as he picks at his ratty tunic sleeve.
A shot from Thancred's back, the boy staring out at the picture perfect houses on this picture perfect island. He is unsettled.
A shot just of the adult's legs as Thancred looks off.
A close up of Thancred from the waist up, Louisoix's hand just in frame beside him. His little furrowed brow and frown are a front for just how unsettled he is by being in this pristine place.

Hadrian, reaching out to touch the ends of Thancred's hair at the back of his head: Speaking of much too old... Your hair is getting a bit long. You're in sore need of a trim, mm?
Thancred slaps at his master's hand, not wanting to be touched after he was rebuffed earlier. Thancred: Cut it out! Tis not long enough for you to be tugging at it! Hadrian just looks amused at the 14ish year old's behavior.
Hadrian has grabbed Thancred and hauled him over, mussing his hair as he holds onto him. Thancred squirms, trying to get away. Thancred: Hadrian stop!!
A closer shot of the last one, Thancred still hella mad. Thancred: HADRIAN!!
