[late arr spoilers] that feel when you go to check someone's age and accidentally spoiler yourself
A-L-EX-ANDER
That feeling's awful.
A-L-EX-ANDER
That and 'accidentally being spoiled by the Pinterest comment section'
raspberrydrink
TBF it was something I was already suspecting cuz the game was dropping clues
raspberrydrink
so it's not a HUGE deal, but still
𝘦𝘯𝘤𝘩𝘢𝘯𝘵𝘦𝘥 𝘳𝘰𝘴𝘦
which character?
raspberrydrink
Everyone in game: oh it was dumb of the Flames to just grab anyone willing cuz they needed bodies, no wonder they had a traitor

Me, looking at the Braves: uuuuuhhhh
raspberrydrink
alph
𝘦𝘯𝘤𝘩𝘢𝘯𝘵𝘦𝘥 𝘳𝘰𝘴𝘦
ooof what spoiler?
raspberrydrink
I knew he was Baby i was checking how baby
𝘦𝘯𝘤𝘩𝘢𝘯𝘵𝘦𝘥 𝘳𝘰𝘴𝘦
aah yeah
𝘦𝘯𝘤𝘩𝘢𝘯𝘵𝘦𝘥 𝘳𝘰𝘴𝘦
surprise! teenager
raspberrydrink
YEAH LIKE I KINDA GUESSED but I wanted to be sure- I zoomed past history cuz I'm not dumb but the personality section caught me
𝘦𝘯𝘤𝘩𝘢𝘯𝘵𝘦𝘥 𝘳𝘰𝘴𝘦
knowing how young the twins are puts everything about the Braves in very painful perspsective
raspberrydrink
YEAH
𝘦𝘯𝘤𝘩𝘢𝘯𝘵𝘦𝘥 𝘳𝘰𝘴𝘦
also tbf it's not like their ages are ever given in game
raspberrydrink
like you're very smart and competent honey but you're also 16
𝘦𝘯𝘤𝘩𝘢𝘯𝘵𝘦𝘥 𝘳𝘰𝘴𝘦
he's Trying
raspberrydrink
AND TBF I feel the other scions get blinded by his smarts and who his family is and forget he's a child
𝘦𝘯𝘤𝘩𝘢𝘯𝘵𝘦𝘥 𝘳𝘰𝘴𝘦
Urianger may be the only one who doesn't, as he was very close to Louisoix and the twins back home
𝘦𝘯𝘤𝘩𝘢𝘯𝘵𝘦𝘥 𝘳𝘰𝘴𝘦
...Papylamo is too busy babysitting Yda to worry about the other kids
raspberrydrink
minfillia is just happy someone is being proactive
𝘦𝘯𝘤𝘩𝘢𝘯𝘵𝘦𝘥 𝘳𝘰𝘴𝘦
"he's a kid but at least he's doing something smh"
DʀᴀɢɴHᴏᴍᴇᴏᴘᴀᴛʜʏ
Sharlayans are, IIRC, considered adults at 16. So. : ) Fun with that.
DʀᴀɢɴHᴏᴍᴇᴏᴘᴀᴛʜʏ
Maybe Eorzea, too
DʀᴀɢɴHᴏᴍᴇᴏᴘᴀᴛʜʏ
For context there
raspberrydrink
him small tho
raspberrydrink
baby
𝘦𝘯𝘤𝘩𝘢𝘯𝘵𝘦𝘥 𝘳𝘰𝘴𝘦
yeah Elezen don't hit their adult height until 16-20 and it comes all at once in a massively painful growth spurt
DʀᴀɢɴHᴏᴍᴇᴏᴘᴀᴛʜʏ
YEAH IT'S
DʀᴀɢɴHᴏᴍᴇᴏᴘᴀᴛʜʏ
Hngh
raspberrydrink
is that why they're all gangly
𝘦𝘯𝘤𝘩𝘢𝘯𝘵𝘦𝘥 𝘳𝘰𝘴𝘦
HONESTLY
DʀᴀɢɴHᴏᴍᴇᴏᴘᴀᴛʜʏ
Okay but imagine how they'll look later
𝘦𝘯𝘤𝘩𝘢𝘯𝘵𝘦𝘥 𝘳𝘰𝘴𝘦
my only request re: the twins adult heights: Alisaie better be taller than Alphinaud
𝘦𝘯𝘤𝘩𝘢𝘯𝘵𝘦𝘥 𝘳𝘰𝘴𝘦
you don't get t see much of Alisaie until later Jess but when you see her
𝘦𝘯𝘤𝘩𝘢𝘯𝘵𝘦𝘥 𝘳𝘰𝘴𝘦
you will understand
DʀᴀɢɴHᴏᴍᴇᴏᴘᴀᴛʜʏ
Alphi is going to forever be scrawny and smol because his physique is more runner's.
DʀᴀɢɴHᴏᴍᴇᴏᴘᴀᴛʜʏ
Alisaie is... Not a runner only.
𝘦𝘯𝘤𝘩𝘢𝘯𝘵𝘦𝘥 𝘳𝘰𝘴𝘦
Alphinaud is the nerd, Alisaie is the jock
raspberrydrink
I hope one hits the spurt earlier than the other
raspberrydrink
also ngh the twins are way more proportionate than most adult elzen
go тo вread
idk if Alisaie has a class, I think Alphie is an archanist?
go тo вread
so him being the skinny bab would be on brand
EsperBot
my favorite thing about elezen heights is
𝖊𝖎𝖊𝖓 𝖓𝖔 𝖔𝖜𝖆𝖗𝖎 ☾
she does, but it might be spoilers to say. it comes up that one of the job quest npcs trained her and everything though
EsperBot
picturing Moenbryda and tiny Urianger
𝖊𝖎𝖊𝖓 𝖓𝖔 𝖔𝖜𝖆𝖗𝖎 ☾
also god jess.... this is my constant struggle too. i keep looking innocuous things up and getting spoiled
𝖊𝖎𝖊𝖓 𝖓𝖔 𝖔𝖜𝖆𝖗𝖎 ☾
never look up anything p. much
EsperBot
yeah don't touch that wiki until you're done with the MSQ is my serious advice
𝖊𝖎𝖊𝖓 𝖓𝖔 𝖔𝖜𝖆𝖗𝖎 ☾
i looked up a VOICE ACTOR once and got spoiled on a major post stormblood patch reveal
𝖊𝖎𝖊𝖓 𝖓𝖔 𝖔𝖜𝖆𝖗𝖎 ☾
so yeah, don't..... don't do it. best advice is when you have something you wanna check ask someone else to look it up first bc oof
Rᴀɪɴᴇs
yeah what 𝖊𝖎𝖊𝖓 𝖓𝖔 𝖔𝖜𝖆𝖗𝖎 ☾ said. best to ask someone.
𝘦𝘯𝘤𝘩𝘢𝘯𝘵𝘦𝘥 𝘳𝘰𝘴𝘦
lord knows you've got enough of us around to answer shit
Rindude
Alisaie does have a class and in ARR it is Arcanist
Rindude
Just like minfilla had a class in ARR and I think it was miner
Levi
Minfilia is a miner, yes. It comes up a bit in discussions of her past.
Levi
also re: the twins, aside from the fact that Alphinaud really is good at what he does (diplomacy), he also brings money to the table. The twins actually have a bit of funds between them.
EsperBot
Their family name also carries a lot of weight in Eorzea.
Levi
yes, considering that their grandfather was literally the realm's savior
Levi
so they are smol, but they have a deceptively lorge amount of influence
EsperBot
A number of people who really should know better give Alphinaud what he wants because they look at him and see a young Louisoix instead of a bright-but-dumb teenager.
Levi
indeed, he is very gifted with a bright future ahead of him

but right now he's still a stupid teenager with zero real world experience
A-L-EX-ANDER
high int low wis
EsperBot
Alisaie is also a dumb teenager but she’s one with a much better understanding of her own limitations.
Levi
She understands them, but also chooses to disregard them whenever she deems it appropriate
Levi
the difference between them is like
Alphinaud: What, I had no idea my idea was dumb!!!
Alisaie: This idea is dumb but I'm going to do it anyway.
Awe
I saw, not so long ago, a "how to please the twins" dichotomy
Awe
Alphinaud: (one and a half pages of thoughtful critique, unskippable)
Awe
Alisaie: Practice is (time). Winner gets bragging rights
FʀᴏᴍTʜᴇFɪʀᴇ
yeah neither twin is really much of a combatant until hw anyway so
