Ratomir Adusa- Hrothgar, Helion NB no FC - a soft-hearted explorer looking for adventure. Escaped from enslavement by the empire. Main job: Monk Story progress: early 2.0 Pronouns: He/They (no preference)
My HK OC put into XIV cause I can and I love her. Prima Rosaline, bug goddess queen.
Prima Rosaline - Higher Being transfigured as a Veena Viara ♀️ (straight taken) in Tidepools - a Higher Being stuck in an unfamiliar world trying to find a way back to her kingdom and family. Main jobs: literally every caster, drg, pld and alc (anything that could help her find any way home) Story progress:: Late 2.0 Husband: Victor This is the only character who is not open to possible romantic relationships as she is monogamous and married. Though I am not against the idea of people having crushes on her with the understanding that they will be unrequited
Also she is technically my Hollow Knight OC who I have had for 6 years now. She is able to shapeshift in xiv technically.
Also a funny prank Lexi pulled on her husband. Massive thanks to @halcyonlioness for helping out with this set of pics.
I want to post a little bit about my XIV characters (I have a few) starting with my adorable main: Alexia Wong.
Lalafell, Dunesfolk ♀️ (straight/demi/poly) in Tidepools - a tragic, haunted adventurer raised in the far east trying to liberate her homeland while dealing with the shadows of her past. Main jobs: NIN, BLM, AST, DRK, PLD, SAM, and RDM (also she knows geomancy which is not an official class but one that is mentioned in game, so far the closest class is whm) Story Progress: 6.0 started By the time she got to 5.3, she will have dated 4 men, 3 of which she will still be with. Current partners: Aymeric de Borel, Nanaki Ananaki, G'raha Tia. Previous partners: Hien Rijin (close platonic friends now), Haurchefant Greystone
Sumi Ishika - Au Ra, Raen ♀️ (aromantic asexual) no fc yet, on Goblin - a no-nonsense ninja from the far east on a mission into foreign lands. Main job: NIN Story Progress: early 2.0
She is also best friends and work partners with Jing (Alexia) Wong and Yugiri Mistwalker. Also she is aroace and dresses sexy sometimes cause who is gonna stop her.
Prima got a much deserved upgrade. She now has butterfly scales.
This, just this.
"Amatonormativity permeates more than TV shows and books. It is woven into our legal rights, creating forms of discrimination that become more and more apparent as people age. Romantic love within marriage confers privileges that other forms of devotion cannot, including over 1,100 laws that benefit married couples at the federal level. Spouses can share each other’s health insurance, as well as military, social security, and disability benefits. They can make medical decisions for each other. Companies grant bereavement leave for spouses, no questions asked, but there will be more hesitation if leave is requested for a mere friend. It is possible to marry a stranger and give them your health insurance but not possible to give health insurance to a parent...
Criteria based on sex made sense when the main purpose of marriage was to merge fortunes and produce children, but today...marriage is more about a match of devotion than a match of trade. In many cases, the point is no longer to create an heir and a spare. Plenty of married couples don’t have children (or sex, for that matter), and bad marriages with little caring are common...
Offering legal and social benefits only to the romantically attached suggests that the mere presence of romantic feeling elevates the care and deserves special protections, even though friendship and other forms of care, which can come with less obligation, can include more love, more freely given. Therefore, the legal and social privileges of marriage should be extended to all mutually consenting adults who wish for them...
'In terms of policy, marriage law really reaches into all areas of law, like tax and immigration and property,' ... 'It doesn’t matter if it’s different-sex only or same-sex marriage, so long as we restrict marriage to romantic and sexual partners we will ensure amatonormativity.' Reforming marriage law by abolishing it altogether or extending marriage-like rights to friends (to small groups or networks) is one way to eradicate discrimination."
