Somber Goblincore Yearning

A fic for Hal & Len! As well as one that I published to AO3, they asked for an original piece with Len's character Lichen and my character Crom. It was to be a pleasant, slice-of-life piece, and I was happy to deliver!

This was a lot of fun to write, though I got a bit lost in the sauce talking about symbiosis and had to keep editting down. It's good for me to be forced to cut out superfluous detail, so it was an excellent challenge and something I think made the piece a lot better.

There is some very mild body horror in this. Crom is a symbiote of a dark elf and a fungus, and Lichen is a conglomerate of all kinds of parts. Please give it a skip if plants, fungi, and wasps are not your thing!

( I do miss Lichen a lot! She's great. )

On the eighth day of Kris-mas, my true love prompted me:

Modelled by my character Soft Ghost, here is a glamour based around St Shiva.

( images below )

Wearable from: Level 60 onwards.

Cost: You can get the Hailstorm set FREE from the quest The Man Within available at level 60 as part of the post Heavensward MSQ. Otherwise, it's around 1545 poetics from Hismena in Idyllshire, plus the price of the bridesmaids tights (12,000 gil from Rianne in Ul'dah) or the work you put in to make them yourself.

The metallic blue dye is the most expensive part, with a fluctuating price the marketboard or a rare return from a retainer's venture. I snagged it for about 14,000 gil all in, but I have seen it higher. Alternatively, you could purchase it from the online store with real money, but... eh. Your choice!

Ceruleum blue dye is 40 gil from vendors in the three ARR cities.

The weapon will take under 10 min to grind for with a level 90 character, and I've heard the trial is solo-able from level 70 onwards, especially on Warrior. You need five pieces of Diamond Dust from Akh Afah Amphitheatre (Extreme) and the True Ice version of the weapon you want. You'll most likely get a coffer for any weapon, so just open that as the job you want. Trade with either Aelina in Mor Dhona or any of Rowena's representitives in the three ARR cities once you have the components.

Note: this is the healing set. You could do the exact same with the casting set.

Head: Hailstorm Crown of Healing (metallic blue)
Body: Hailstorm Coat of Healing (metallic blue)
Arms: Hailstorm Gloves of Healing (metallic blue)
Legs: Bridesmaid's tights (ceruleum blue)
Feet: Hailstorm Boots of Healing (metallic blue)

Weapon: Shiva's Diamond Rod

For the accessories I mostly just used the Emperor's New pieces with the exception of the earring, which is the Aetheryte Earring. As far as I know, this was a bonus from preordering Shadowbringers and currently the only way to have it. It's not necessary for the glamour at all - I just thought it was cute.

A while back I went on a journal-making followed by rping spree in which I needed a bunch of icons. I made Ruto, The Great Fairy, Ghirahim and Ganondorf from Hyrule Warriors. All 100x100 pixels; a handful of the Ruto ones were from images with filters already added (some from axule and warriorzelda).

As a heads up: The quality on a few aren't great, and a few of the Ghirahim icons are from Skyward Sword.

Credit isn't necessary - they're only 100x100 crops - but if you'd like to just credit this journal.

( May the way of the hero lead to the Triforce! )
