This Was My Entry In The Final Fantasy XIV Digital Fan Festival 2021 Art Contest. It Didn’t Make It

* soft tired prompts

‘ have a nice nap? ’

‘ you have sleepy stuff in your eyes. ’ 

‘ sorry for waking you, baby. go back to sleep. ’ 

‘ you’re exhausted, honey. ’ 

‘ time for bed, sleepyhead. come on, i’ve got you. ’

‘ was that a yawn? ’ 

‘ honey, that’s not how you make the bed. ’

‘ you slept for a long time. ’

‘ time to wake up, sweetie. it’s a new day. ’ 

‘ you’re finally awake. ’

‘ you stayed up past your bedtime again, didn’t you? ’   

‘ i thought you were going to sleep forever. ’ 

‘ why don’t we take a nap together? we can be nap buddies. ’

‘ goodnight, baby. sweet dreams. ’ 

‘ you don’t get enough sleep. ’

‘ i’m going back to bed. ’ 

Ch 46 - Lead and Follow

Aymeric/WoL | words: 4102 | rating: pg13

Here was a strange precipice upon which she surrendered her lead, shifting power to him so that he could navigate for them both. As brave as she had become, Aymeric was still the one with the most experience in traversing and surviving a ballroom.

“Might I have this dance, my lady?”

I deeply enjoy Fordola's story for three reasons: 1) Her actions and the grave harm they caused is not minimized, softened, glossed over, or forgotten. She did terrible things. She accepts she did terrible things - and her story hinges upon her accepting the consequences. 2) When the NPCs do not forgive her, the narrative does not portray them in a negative light. The most powerful line in 4.1 is an NPC saying "You are not forgiven. Not you. You I will never forgive.

But I will thank you."

The story makes it clear Fordola is not entitled to forgiveness or absolution simply because she wants to do the right thing now - and that's okay. When people harm us, they are not entitled to forgiveness just because they're sorry. Fordola accepts and understands that. 3) The NPCs moving on with their lives is not used as reason to magically absolve her of anything. She still accepts the consequences of her actions and is still trying to make right her wrongs even if she may never be forgiven - which a sign of someone who truly has changed. Doing the right thing shouldn't hinge upon whether or not you are forgiven in the end. It should be something you strive to do from that point on, because you want to change yourself for the better. Also, there are many stories about how people who have been harmed or abused need to forgive the people who hurt them in order to truly heal and it's simply not true. The path to healing varies. Sometimes it involves forgiving. Sometimes it involves embracing your anger. Forgiving someone when they haven't acknowledged or accepted their wrongdoings and aren't committed to consequences and change is dangerous. Forgiving someone when you don't feel ready and it is not an authentic representation of your truth can damage your path to healing. It has a lot of grounding in real-world issues and handles it in a way I don't often see (most stories just go with the "you're forgiven and everything is fine!" route) - which is really refreshing.
