Final Fantasy XIV themed account

Decided to make a dedicated FFXIV Bluesky account so my followers on my main aren't jumpscared by sudden MMORPG chicanery.

Hi, I'm Grim! I've been around. I'll continue to be a cryptid due to a shit ton of reasons (work is stress, I'm shy, I'm riddled with disabilities, etc), but I'm Around.

Thank you to everyone so far for all of your help. We're at 82% and I'm so incredibly grateful. I've spoken about this in a thread on the original post but things are worsening here so we're going to be trying to make the move happen sooner than late February. Any help is incredibly appreciated.

Fana swaps so hard between Lancer and Smart Guy that the context can’t keep up sometimes.
#wolqotd

Got one for any of you literary trope / OSP lovers: If your WoL were part of a traditional five-man band adventuring party, what role would they play in said band? Assume there are enough people to fill out the other roles.

Leader
Lancer
Powerhouse/Big Guy
Smart Guy
Heart

Fana was intended as a wolcred shipping oc in her very first iteration, but they’re now just bros
#Wolqotd

Over the course of creating and fleshing out our characters, their relationships with others grow and develop. What is a character (NPC or OC) who's relationship with your Wol/OC is vastly different than the relationship you originally planned for them?

Another year, another #FebHyurary on the horizon!

Feel free to share this on other platforms. We'll also be doing an Art Party this year, so be on the lookout for more info in the near future!

Can't wait to see both old and new faces in the tags! 🤗

i think so much of fana's queerness just went under the radar for most of xir existence because "i'm too tired to unpack" ad nauseum
#wolqotd of sorts for queer WOLs/OCs
How has your WOL/OC navigated their queer identity? Is queerness treated differently in your canon as opposed to the real world?

i don't remember the exact one, but the rabbit hole started because i wanted more masc options. i was playing miqo at the time and fem!miqo's anime catgirlness was not hitting my desire for like...La Creatura beast girl
#WoLQotD Though more of a player question:
For those who use crimes, do you remember what your first one was (created or used)? What got you spiraling down the rabbit hole of modding? Was there a lore reason behind it? Do you still use it?
(Found this on my old X acct and figured I'd drag it here)

What I think a lot of people underestimate is just how little human beings in general interact with media. I don't remember the name of the specific rule but it's basically of 100 people to look at something you post, 10% will interact (like) and 10% of that (so 1%) will comment/follow.

Context dependent. I’ve had enough horseshit that I do tend to be upfront with some stuff (genre touchstones, I desire RPers to be upfront about genre so badly)

Other stuff is a surprise once we’re on the same page for genre
#wolqotd for the roleplayers bc i'm TORN. if you have a carrd do you drop the whole backstory or are you a "find out in RP" kinda person.

I think the extremely funny thing about Fana is that she would with very little provocation (it'd be a "pragmaticism" point, someone would momentarily ponder in her earshot about being bald being pragmatic and she WOULD think about it), but xir husband would be SO upset about it that it cancels out.
Please indulge me on this one.

#wolqotd

Would your wol(s)/oc(s) ever shave their head bald? Like Mr. Clean bald? What would it take for them to do it?

I can't entirely explain what I mean by this but this post is so crucial to understanding the entirety of the xiv community, not just in the specific context of venues. do you understand. it's a very specific brand of stupidity.

My relationship with Thancred Waters is probably one of the things I think the most about when looking back on my playtime.

I went into this game's free trial because one of my TTRPG friends was desperate to see me roleplay in their FC. They gave me no prompting where to go. Just let me faceplant.
XIV community, talk to me.

I have something simple and easy. I wanna know your unfiltered thoughts about your favorite character(s). Let your favoritism unleash.

Fandom needs interaction to thrive, if u want to keep enjoying art, fic, edits, animations, silly little hcs, and all of that gud stuff, give some of the love back that creators pour out for you, fandom shouldn't be /content/ to mindlessly consume, let it be a dialogue of love and appreciation 🙏✨❤️
I think a big fandom shift in interacting with stuff has gone from people commenting under the created thing whether it be fic or art to people linking it in private discord groups where the person who made it will never see any positive comments left on the thing they made.
