You may call me Medivh. I am more a long-form poster and tumblr is my main haunt. I mostly answer xQoTD's here because here is where that trend seems to exist the most.

Another 1000+ hours logged, another new main toon caught up on FFXIV MSQ. I think this will be the last time I go through the entire game, for good reason (have done ARR 5x, HW 4x, SB + ShB 3x, EW + DT 2x)... the other 15 or so games I have open savefiles in are BEGGING for my return at this point.

#gpose Lighting experiments. Got extravagant with colouring.
(For the record, it's not canon for her to be in Solution Nine which doesn't exist on the Source, but I didn't feel like teleporting somewhere else just to play around with sliders. Just pretend she's planeswalking.)

This site is so weird. If I QRT something, the person I QRT'd is only going to see the part with the QRT in it. So if I answer a QOTD OP is only seeing the first part of my usually-long answer. They're not clicking on it to see if there's more. What is even the point.

So, the Aitiascope situation was quite different for Dayir. To reach Hydaelyn, she has to dive deep into the Aetherial Sea, & the best way to do that is to die. So it's more like the Constantine (2005) scene with the cat and the bucket of water. Y'shtola (the diving expert) presides over the ritual.
#wolqotd
during their journey into The Aitiascope, did your WOL get help from any fallen ally that differs from what we get in the dungeon? or did they encounter different foes?

Favoured: Foundation, Base Omicron, Bestways Burrow (the second two are because of society quests; Foundation has just always been convenient idk. might temporarily change it to Tuli tho bc oof)

Which teleportation destinations do you have as your free/reduced cost points? Why those locations? How often do you change them up?

Kind of want to delete that because those poses are so bad but I got excited to share :( Ugh. Let me go do something else and forget about it.

Heart of Darkness* Dayir says hi, with her paladin that I stole from a different game (Sosiel). Second pic is her Azem-shard/functional-voidsent companion Ishan 😊
I don't pose often and I'm still learning how to, as is probably clear, but!
*(no Warrior here, but same protagonistic concept)

As someone who *vibrates* with joy every time I hear that song, and who also is extremely delighted by the fact that Mariah has become an eldritch entity in the meme-verse, I can confidently say that Dayir is just straight up getting tempered. Immediately. All hail the Christmas Primal 🙇🏿♀️🙇🏿♀️🙇🏿♀️

Mariah Carey, Primal of Christmas, has been summoned, how does your WoL deal with the threat?

Dayir would be aghast at common moviegoing practices. She'd only patronise theaters with good sound, the proper screens, and comfortable seating. She'd dress up, maybe have a small cocktail but NO food at her seat, & would be locked in for the whole experience. No distractions. No funny business.
#wolqotd / #wolquestion
What would your wol / oc be like in a movie theater? (Bringing in snacks in their pockets / purse, texting during the movie, quiet and respectful, etc)

"Pleasure mage" is one of those wisecrack-y euphemisms for sex workers that ended up becoming common parlance, and then people started saying "bed mage" & "sack mage" because they think they're fkn hilarious. The irony is, Dayir IS legitimately a pleasure mage, that's legit the correct job title.

Dayir would struggle with teaching 101-style sex ed, simply bc she *does* teach, but more at, like, a grad-school level (she's trained other pleasure mages, and she gives private tutelage in specific techniques ($$$)). She'd faint dead away if she had to hear someone ask her what a clit is...
Came up with an interesting nsfw #wolqotd in one of the Discords I'm in.
Your OC has been tasked with teaching some sex ed! It can be done in whatever way you like. A book. A class. A quest chain if you desire! How do they go about it?

There is a sort of "dragon break" moment during the Sundering where Halmarut escapes being sundered, corrupts the Heart of Khorl (the device that powers Dayir), and sets off bonkers chains of events that lead to Dayir basically becoming the Eorzean version of a Slaaneshi Daemon Prince. 'Tis fun. 😇

She can recognise another shard of Azem (so, a more literal soul-mate) as she did with Zenos, and she can recognise people to whom her fate is bound through multicosmic forces outside of her ken, as she did with her paladin Sosiel. This isn't *belief*, per se, rather just... knowledge.
#wolqotd | #wolquestion
If you ship your WoL/OC, do they believe in soulmates? And has this belief been affected by their dating history?
(You also have permission to gush about your ship if you think it’s relevant/want an excuse to gush)

#wolqotd You'd think this'd get her in trouble but actually it's straight up how she solves 99% of Eorzea's problems. Everyone say thank you to Dayir for giving the villains and primals something (someone?) better to do than villainy and draining the land of aether 😊

#wolqotd Dayir has always been plural & very possessable, and the Ardbert* (see reply) situation is no different. She finds him a very enjoyable "peanut gallery" type of companion (he always has something smart-ass to say lmao). He doesn't front very often; he likes just chillin' in the bg for once.
#WOLQOTD
How active is Ardbert in your WOLs head after they fuse? Do they regularly talk with each other, or is he pretty much silent unless called upon? Can he front and act through your WOLs body, or was that thing with Seto just a one off thing?

#wolqotd Azem being an extinction entity and the catalyst (w Meteion's help) of the Final Days. The theory that Dayir's high CHA stat is probably low-grade tempering. The existence of her Shadow, a literally maddening entity that has taken out whole legions with its power.
#wolqotd #wolquestion
Are there any darker headcanons you have about your WoL/OC, an NPC or the world around them? A twist in the tale we know, or a full-on horror story?

think I will make a separate acc't for post sharing. I don't like my own illustrious posts being buried on my acc't by other ppl's lmao BUT I also enjoy digital scrapbooking. you (talking to myself) will notice that we have two blogs on tumblr for this exact reason. this is our pattern, get with it

Happy BG3 Day from Xolani (an avatar of a god whose eternally messy relationship with Bhaal got her avatar Durgeified)! She is not the protagonist of The Story or the party leader; that would be Wyll. Her arc is to get un-Durgeified and establish her temple in Baldur's Gate. ✧✿✧

#wolqotd So many, actually. Dayir knows about Azem almost from the start (& delving the Crystal Tower confirms it; she gets the *real* Azem crystal then). Almost all of the people that die in canon do not. None of the primals die, they're absorbed by Dayir & dwell in her Heart until the Empty.
Curious, what major or minor Canon story event plays out differently in your WoL/OCs Canon? #WoLQOTD

I am *slowly* figuring out how to do things in gpose. There are SO many moving parts esp with crimes and posers seem to have a certain artistic eye that I think I may lack, but I persist. Lately I have been playing around with making & customising new actors in Brio and I am proud of my progress.

#wolqotd A very solemn Qestir youth that she would watch the sunrise with. They saw the light of Azim in her and wanted nothing more than to be her moon. Once, a freak storm interrupted a sunrise and Dayir was crestfallen; they sought to comfort her with a cheek kiss but her face turned at the last.

#wolqotd Shock and not a small amount of disgust. In Dayir's mind, there is never any cause to yell at someone (aside from trying to be heard across a battlefield or some other clearly logical situation) and she finds it to be utterly uncouth and offputting behaviour. 1/2

o/ I haven't posted in a long time, but the other day I saw a #WoLQotD so tempting that I broke my silence (so it goes). I am not strictly an XIV account (I'm not strictly anything) but it's the content majority rn.
My WoL is Dayir, the Allagan experiment living in the 7th as an "Au Ra" of sorts.
