Eti
@elegantetienne
They/Them FFXIV Balmung server. Vanilla GPOSER. Indo. Baldur's Gate 3, Dragon Age, elves and anime. Occasionally NSFW.
the rest of the supports on my theory are WHA manga spoilers LMAO, but i think their personalities are pretty similar also beldaruit = koumyou sanzo
everyone keeps saying qifrey is just like gojo jjk but actually he's hakkai from saiyuki teacher, keeps a great household, wonderful cook, genuinely sweet kind and soothing but oh actually he's fucked up he's real fucked up fandom has collectively decided his masc kinda scuzzy bf is the bottom
The irony is the change, from the outside, was so subtle that the guy who gifted me the potion was legit like "I don't really see the difference L M A O
I definitely play Etienne (they/them) as being Indo diaspora like myself, and how exactly I define that through 'canon' will likely always be a WIP. A significant part of their story is how they were separated from their mother's homeland, and finding their 'home' in the people they call family.
I won't dissolve into pillars of salt, baby, lest I be swept away #FinalFantasyXIV #Elezen #VanillaGpose #ElezenHours #Duskwight
I think if Etienne had to sum up what they love about Vander, they'd simply say, "After six long turns together, he still loves it when I kick his arse."
Songbird fan since their debut, recently converted to Masha-ism. #FinalFantasyXIV #LittleLadiesDay #Elezen #VanillaGpose

It's the season of eyes meeting over the noise And holding fast with sharp realization It's the season of cold making warmth a divine intervention You are safe here you know, now Don't forget I love, I love, I love you. #Elezen #Duskwight #Starlight2025 #Starlight #ElezenHours
While they're paid dust in the canon, I love the idea of an entire underground civilization and how they might've adapted in Gelmorra. The idea of holdouts in a civilization that could not hope to self-sustain after mass desertion/assimilation has some great room for gothic horror interpretations.
Eti doesn't exactly fear abandonment: death will separate us all for a time, relationships, like bodies, decay and pass into new things. But they are afraid that if they stop making themselves a commodity in others' lives that the people they love will move on. They fear being dull or inadequate.
Etienne's mother was from a family of textile merchants, specifically batik, reflecting my own mother's Indonesian heritage and a family business her parents once had. Part of their storyline has been trying to find out more about that side of their family.
I mean it when I say I've been around forever. Checking, I initially rolled Eti and got this achievement 2014, but then took a two-year hiatus. I count March 2016 as their true 'birthday.'
Girls, you've got to know when it's time to turn the page. #Elezen #Duskwight #gpose #VanillaGpose #ElezenHours

It's not too early to get a little witchy, right? #Elezen #ElezenHours #VanillaGpose #Duskwight
This was taken in August 2020, so Eti and Vander had been dating for about 4 - 5 months. But I'm still quite proud of how it turned out.
