She/her - 30ish - Physdys 🧑‍🦽

yes I'm that one person who RP's a Padjal as their main character on a free trial account. I'll likely talk about both, and a few other niche things

I jokingly said "I wonder how much stuff a free trial account can actually achieve in ffxiv" and now I'm suffering forever (or until I beat the free trial)
With everything happening around her right now, I think Tab-I can be a little self destructive. As a treat. Girlypop has held her shit together for way too long

Oh boy we're testing the limits of Stillglade Fane taught calming techniques and sylph mindfulness on Tab-I

Tab-I is 148 years old. Hyurs don't live for 100+ years
Had a break during my work, so here’s my first #wolqotd

What’s the deal with your WoL’s parents? Are they alive? Dead? Supportive of their adventures? Or are there… daddy/mommy issues? (Dramatic gasp)

ARR

ARR is only last because I've had to do it so many times for alts. I genuinely enjoy the story a lot and wish they kept some of the cut quests, we need the sylph shenanigans back
#wolqotd for the player: From your favorite to your least favorite, how would you rank the expansions? (ARR included.)

I low-key have a heart condition and I just experienced a song with vibes so upsetting that it started to trigger it. How the hell would I explain "killed by bad energy from a song" to people

Why am I getting 500 PSAs from the US screaming "DON'T THROW AN ENTIRE FUCKING FROZEN TURKEY INTO A GIANT VAT OF BOILING OIL YOU'LL FUCKING DIEEEEEEEEE" is everything okay over there?

Okay I need gpose ideas for Tab-I that aren't the big one I've been trying to do for ages, something smaller and easier to pull off

Being a fan of medical RP is rough because sometimes you're eating good and your character is a doctor every few days because it's suddenly in vogue for dramatic injuries and other times you're going months between medical scenes because everyone's characters are being safe

Padjal Protector. Because she's a Padjal and... protects people from the Elementals?

I'd pick a better one if the free trial had one
okay so i have a sorta #wolqotd

what in-game title do you use and why? is it canon or not? does it say more about you as the player or your character?

I have problems with remembering things so every time I make lore I write it down in a very well organised documenting. I have her bookshelf written out. Everything in her pouches and potions on her outfit. It's a blessing and a curse because I gotta go through pages finding plot holes just in case
does anyone else keep all of their oc's lore in their head and pull facts out of the blue or make up something on the spot when asked about them?

I wish textools worked if you have a free trial account

Fun fact if your FPS gets low enough you'll actually start moving slower for other players
How many fps do you guys run #ffxiv on? 🤔

"i don't like it when someone has an oc that has X quality/personality-" you're going to have to come into my room and turn off my pc yourself to make me stop doing what i want with my own characters.

Tab-I *was* married once. She outlived the marriage and is now technically a widow. Right now she's more likely to say she's married to her job but she would like to again. Or at the very least attend another.
Is your OC married or will they get married one day? 💍

Coming up with ways of shaking the box with your friends OCs can be more fun than shaking your own OCs in a box
roleplay is a collaborative hobby that should prioritize communication and consent. however once you get very close to a writing partner it can actually transform into a masterful bought of psychological warfare and i think thats beautiful
November 18, 2025 at 3:09 AM
Alright yeah I get why people like doing venue staff RP now

The best part about disposable characters is you don't need to worry about permanent injuries. you're not RPing them in a year, they can get a little messed up for the plot as a treat
November 16, 2025 at 12:41 PM
Sometimes you just need to write a character who is an unhinged asshole with an obsessive hate for another character. It's enrichment.

if you cannot let your oc look stupid, be silly or be wrong you haven’t unlocked the true torments for that mfer. i know you like angst but there are more Tribulations at your finger tips. it’s also good not to be too precious with them in general let that mfer step on a rake

Thank you for attending my TED Talk. I posit a theory very near & dear to my heart that if you take any song with a sufficiently sudden beat drop & sync it to any sufficiently hype moment, the combination will elevate the song, regardless of its status, to be equally hype. I have prepared an example

Tab-I has pebbles in the bottoms of her curtains to use conjury to open and close them. Her kettle has fire shards to keep the water hot and has two ice boxes with different amounts of ice shards for cooling or freezing food.
you know what actually #wolqotd what are some domestic/household magic headcanons you have for xiv? like spells of convenience... herbal remedies for curses, charming the wooden spoon to stir your caramel sauce on its own, warming up your mug by concentrating fire aether in your hands, etc
