Silent finds comfort in escapism, mainly through reading and writing. As such, he's built a fairly decent library in the basement of his home. It's his private escape to avoid crowds and recharge, though there are a few friends who have the run of the place as well.

- Books, carpentry, and forests.
- Hand foods (fruit and cheese, sammiches, tacos) and cold drinks (preferably juice)
- Crowds, excessive physical contact, slimy or tacky textures. Hates being sweaty.
- Cool airflow, smooth food textures (soup/smoothie), soft noises, autumnal colors.
#wolquestion #wolqotd but for my fellow autistic-wol/oc havers (where the wol/oc is autistic)

special interests?
safe foods?
bad sensory things?
good sensory things?
stims?
any rules they explicitly follow (even if self imposed)
communication issues?

also gposes would be neat, let me see them :3

Autumn. Ideal time for getting cozy. It's also harvest season, which means lots of apple and pumpkin treats.
#wolquestion #wolqotd
What is your wol(oc)'s favorite season?
August 10, 2025 at 2:14 AM
Of course, can't leave the pizza bones behind.
#wolqotd / #wolquestion

Would your wol / oc eat the crusts of their pizza? If not, what would they do with the crust / ends?

I've been on a Janny Wurts kick lately. I wouldn't mind seeing the Cycle of Fire or The Wars of Light and Shadow.
What's an SFF work written by a woman that you think deserves a screen adaptation?

Follow EQ2's example of each plot allowing players to get their own instance they can enter and customize. It doesn't really allow for visible variation unless you enter said instance, but it seems to solve the scarcity issue. EQ2 also allows for resizing of furnishings, which i would be all for.
#wolqotd but for the players.

With WoW about to unveil their housing system and some of the major promises they've made;

How would you change the XIV housing system, if you had the chance to?

Cardamom ice cream, mixed into a chai milkshake. And it's never a bad time for ice cream.
#wolqotd
Its summer (in Upside-up land, sorry OCE!)

Whats your WoL's favorite type of ice cream? Flavor, but also cone? stick? A bowl?
Do they eat ice cream in the winter?

Eorzea doesnt have ice cream that I know of, but pretend.
Meracydians and Kiwis; What winter treats does your WoL enjoy?

It changes depending on where he's at, but lately it's been tacos.

Silent will burrow into a pile of blankets on the couch so it's dark and try to sleep the headache away.
#wolquestion #wolqotd
How does your wol(oc) tend to react to getting a headache?
May 2, 2025 at 6:45 AM
Silent vastly prefers tea, but he will if he needs to. If so, it's usually mixed with cocoa to mask the taste somewhat.
#wolqotd

Does your WoL drink coffee? If they do how would they prepare/order it?
April 26, 2025 at 5:41 AM
Silent will go to his comfort spot (basement library) if possible. Otherwise, he drops into autopilot until he can get out of there.
#wolquestion / #wolqotd

When your wol / oc gets anxious, what do they do? Do they shut down, hide, or something else?
January 26, 2025 at 10:29 PM
Acquiring, and consuming, both lore tacos and lore burritos. Lorritos, if you will.
#wolqtd | #wolquestion

Describe your WoL/OC's profession and/or hobbies in the worst way possible.
December 27, 2024 at 5:49 AM
Silent isn't a spring chicken anymore, and he was never social. Sometimes, if his friends are having a celebration, he'll spend some time there. More often of late he prefers quiet solitude and a book or an orchestrian roll to mentally de-clutter and contemplate the upcoming year.
#wolqotd With the Holidays here and upon us, I would like to know your OC's personal Starlight traditions, be they high specific to them, or something more traditional to the season.

Describe your WoL/OC's journey through each expansion poorly.

Reading and/or writing. Silent is easily overwhelmed by crowds, even if it's a crowd of friends, so reading someone else's adventures or transcribing his own is a really good escape.
What's your neurodivergent blorbo's most intense special interest?

#wolqotd #wolquestions
December 18, 2024 at 7:50 PM

Usually reading/ book journaling or cooking. Slow cooking, primarily.
#WoLQotD but for the players!

When XIV burns you out, you gotta play other things. Do something else.

What's that "other thing" you do? Could be games, could be hobbies, could be touching grass. What is it?
December 15, 2024 at 1:26 AM
Silent doesn't celebrate it officially, but he finds it a good reason to enjoy a good book and hot drink.
He knows it's usually a time for friends and family, but lately, he's been starting to appreciate Matoya's tendency for solitude.
None of my gposes today came out right, so here's a #wolqotd instead. Does your WoL/OC do anything special for Staright? Do they even celebrate it? Is there an Eorzea equivilent of KFC for them to go to?
December 3, 2024 at 8:58 PM
Silent is prudent enough to never be flat broke (though he has come close a time or seven), but he's also lazy enough that he's never gonna retire young.

Knowing this, he never puts himself in a position to be in charge of anyone else's money. He's seen how Tataru is, especially with Estinien.
How is your wol/oc when it comes to managing money?
Do they spend it easily and are always poor or do they have a good idea how to make money for themselves?

If they are terrible with their own money, are they more careful with other people's money?

#wolqotd

Dad jokes. Anytime Silent can successfully land one, the groans make him smile.

He's not one for big laughter, but he'll chuckle and appreciate a good joke.
Does your wol/OC have a specific type of humour that ends up being their downfall?

If they are usually super serious how ooc do they get when they hear/see something that makes them laugh?

#wolqotd
December 2, 2024 at 6:31 AM
Silent has a penchant for dad jokes, so there's usually some variation of 'you little shit' when one lands successfully.
#wolqotd What unofficial titles has your WoL/OC acquired through their journey? How did they earn them?
