you don't suck at art. you're learning. you aren't an awful writer, you're still understanding how things work. You aren't horrible, you see the places in your work that have space for improvement. Even if you think your art isn't the best, you still created something and you should be proud of that

I started December 2015 (HW was still new!), but I think 3.4 was the first patch I was actually caught up for. I used to keep on top of everything, but since the Endwalker base game ended, I find that I'm usually at least one patch behind.
(Even more now that I'm usually on Moss)

#wolqotd As a player, what was the first patch you were caught up for?

The only thing eye-catching thing about Moss is her height; people tend to stare because she's so tall she sticks out in a crowd. Otherwise, she's on the pleasant side of average, but not someone that one would remember with distinct clarity.
A #wolqotd because I'm bored on the train (probs one that's been asked before too)
How attractive is your WoL? Do people see them as being conventionally attractive, are they average or not attractive at all?

My headcanon/rules going forward for HW:
- No chocobo access until a Mount is given in-game (Meander was stabled before the event and is now in custody of the Braves/Blades)
- Her outfit is made up of pieces from Camp Dragonhead that fit; other than her banquet clothes, she's got nothing else.

I've been shown evidence that Asmongold, Grummz, Llamatodd, et al, are attempting to have my account (along with a number of others) here taken down because of current political events.
I have purposefully said nothing in regards to it.
If my account is taken down, it is for being a trans woman.

looked up the clip just because sometimes people change his words for captions that end up innocently reshared, but upon finding it decided to share the video because hearing him say it makes it 1000% more definitely true and everyone will listen/believe more than reading it written out

At the risk of sounding mean, I think if you want FFXIV quests to be just go from A to B with zero engagement you should stop playing the game

Use those feelings to start creating. Start drawing, writing, editing how you envision your character. Commission an artist to draw them. Bring them to life. There is so many ways to express yourself - and it's fun!
Just don't be a "vanilla sucks!" person. We've had enough of that.

[I can't remember which it was, but it's either:
Fantasy Life 2: Not much changes, but everything is somehow less gloomy?? She would probably feel a little gaslit because this world is close to hers but....not?
Or
Slay the Princess: oh. Oh no. No no no...but at least its a love story???]

#wolqotd Your WoL is now the protagonist of the last non-XIV game you played! Their competence in the role aside, how do they feel about it?

My forum RP friends were like, "Hey, this game we're all playing has a free trial! You should give it a shot and play with us!" My MMO-avoiding life was over the moment I heard the crystal music game launched, and it's had its claws in me for almost 10 years now (I started Dec 2015)
So to those in the FFXIV community, what or who got you into the game and for how long have you been playing?

He's pretentious, haughty, and insufferable. Moss' opinion of him hasn't changed yet (she's still in patch 2.3), and the Scions often have to convince her to work with/for him like she does them. She assumes he's earned their blind trust from prior encounters but is highly skeptical and annoyed.

(I've used Ophelia's cross stitch patterns before [specifically the "A Journey Together" one], and they are amazingly clear and make fantastic pieces! I highly recommend!!
I also immediately purchased this one and I'm super excited to start on it tonight!!)

(I've been obsessed with The Murderbot Diaries since the first book came out in 2017, so I am absolutely feral (positive) about the TV show....anyway when I saw the Cosmo set in-game, I immediately made SecUnit and shoved it into Dawntrail and it was ABSOLUTELY the right call)
