Catchup from last night:

WOW Dion’s dad is a shitbag!!!

And Dion is babyboy. I love him.

Also!!

MIIIIIIIID

I love Midadal!!

I was hoping we’d get to meet her! 🥹🥹🥹

And here she is

I would let her drag me hither and thither as much as she would want

From today:

CHILDHOOD STORIES FROM UNCLE BYRON!!

🥹 Clive raced so hard to see his baby brother be born he got thrown from his Chocobo and cried!!

Baby boy!!!

AND JOSHUA WAS RIGHT THERE

SO CLOSE TO ME

Come back baby bird!!!

And now we meet L’ubor ✨

He reads as a trans man and I wonder if that is intentional...

Considering we had a man trying to buy the services of a male escort by the vail last time we were there... and so many people read as bisexual... it is possible

In my heart of hearts L’udor is trans

FFXVI is exceptionally queer, in themes and characters

He immediately pinged as some kinda 🌈 to me, so being a trans man could definitely be true

It helps that his va is a gay man who is very flamboyant (and besties with barnabas' va who is also a gay man hahah)

🥹🥹🥹🥹🥹

Is that true? That’s amazing!

Since L’udor used to go by female pronouns and a different name five years ago... well, it rings pretty 🏳️‍⚧️ especially with how flamboyant the character is

Yeah!! They're both so sweet too. Sometimes when David Menkin (Barnabas' va) has little streams where he's signing prints and chatting, Shai Matheson (L'ubor's va) will crash it just to be a pest at David

the whole crew for ffxvi are very wholesome

that is so cute!!!

I love it when the VAs have fun

Also 🤌🤌🤌 more queer folk in the spotlight

Yeess! Jonathan Case (Joshua's va) is also gay and he/they

so just a very queer cast and it's wonderful!

🥹🥹🥹 that’s beautiful

The entire time I have been playing I have been telling my husband “I think everyone is bisexual... they all read as queer...”

I’ve also been saying the game is for the girls and the gays ✨

absolutely!

Everyone seems to be some kinda queer, I know I got my thoughts and interpretations on characters! They left it so wonderfully open for interpretation to support all sorts of reads on them.

Honestly this game speaks so deeply to me as a gay man, and it's rare when I find something mainstream that does. It warms my heart 🔥!

Yes!!! Exactly!!

It’s absolutely divine

Now... I press on into the Fang. After Kupka...

Mystery twink shows himself again!!!

Very cunning that one

Also... he continues to call Clive Mythos...

Twisty

And he has the wraiths behind him... what all is going on in Ash???

Especially with these orcs...

Can't a twink have questionable friends!!

Dion is so good

I twink cannot!!!!

Titan battle was cool, BUT ALSO I JUST WANTED HIM DEEEEEEEAAAD!!!

Too many stages

But I got some good sneaky screenshots of mystery twink and Dion

And Joshua

Also, I feel real bad for Dion

He just wants to do good

And his father is a shitstain

And then, with his love, he reaches out, kisses him in a desperate way, and says how he wishes Terrence were his master only to have T-dog say “I am ever your loyal servant”

HOW DOES THAT HELP

T-dog you’re letting me down

And then in bursts Danger Bird ✨

The boy

Dion thought this man to be dead for almost 20 years and here he waltzes in, hotter than ever

Hehehehehe yes

As phoenixes are wont to do 🔥

oh my god I didn’t even mean to

ehehehe

I love that scene so much

🤭 I can see why
