Aetheryte and Requiescat both come from Final Fantasy XIV, Square Enix's MMORPG that relaunched as A Realm Reborn in 2013. Aetherytes are the large crystals players attune to for fast travel across Eorzea, while Requiescat is a high-level Paladin ability introduced with the Stormblood expansion. Online, players clipped and remixed job ability names into soundboard memes, pairing serious fantasy terminology with mundane gameplay moments. The combination stuck because FFXIV fans instantly recognize both terms, making it a shorthand joke for over-dramatic teleports and Paladin mains showing off.
