Nightbird has a lot of what SHE terms "business associates." She respects them and works with them and doesn't really share anything personal. That's not just her various teams for the Ishgardian Conservatory project either, that's most of her adventurer peers.
#wolqotd / #wolquestion

Does your wol / oc have a lot of friends? Why or why not?
August 19, 2025 at 2:40 PM
Berylla always feels awkward if she's being cared for - mortified if she's sick, and frustrated if she's injured. Her friends and husbands just about have to bully her to get her to be still and allow them to help her!
Nightbird is just as stubborn - but she's better at hiding illness and hurt.
#wolqotd / #wolquestion

Does your wol / oc like being taken care of by others? Do they feel weak for having other people take care of them? (Sick, injuries, etc)

In both cases they're competent and capable in most of the ways I'm NOT. Physically healthy and resilient, strong and graceful and thoroughly able bodied. Neither of them need glasses! Heh.
Nightbird's much better with people than I am, also.
#wolqotd / #wolquestion

People often ask what parts of yourself made it into your WoL/OC, but what's a way they're completely different from you?

If it's honest flirting, Berylla stammers and might even bolt lol
Nightbird might lightly flirt back but she's very obvious about not being available; she makes sure that it's clear her flirtation is purely for politeness' sake.
#wolqotd How does your WoL/OC handle being flirted with?

I’m unable to identify the source of this flip, but, it’s compelling. The #CupOfJoe delivered by the professor is commanding. “You didn’t say anything because you weren’t affected yourself.”

Powerful lesson there. We are all affected. Be a part of the solution.

Fifty-fifty split: if it's Nightbird, almost immediately I'd be handed off to someone else to deal with LOL, she would have no patience for me. If I'm literally me, she MIGHT give me a job.
Berylla would be flabbergasted and both of us would be hunting ways to get me home.
TBH it'd be a bad time.

You pass out while playing FF14. Next thing you know you're being portal-dropped on top of your sleeping WoL early in ARR.

How would your WoL react to you, and what would you do with your circumstances?
August 12, 2025 at 12:25 PM
Funny enough, Nightbird decided on Estinien all on her own. That entire fic was me going "really??? HIM?" and her telling me why.
With Berylla...started out just "Haurchefant REALLY likes WoL, I can go places with that idea." And then it got serious, from the Vault onwards...
What led you to ship your OTP? We're they your WoL / OCs first? Or did they come later?

they should have term limits in ishgard not because it’s ethically right but because Aymeric needs to be stopped and shipped to a beach somewhere and forced to sit under an umbrella with a little fruity bullshit drink

Of course you're not selfish or conceited for seeking validation on your creations. You can write, draw, or whatever, for yourself, have a blast, and still want someone to go "hell yeah, bro." But it's also not any less worthy without a showering of praises. Expressing yourself is always worthwhile.

More exciting news! I am now able to share with you more of the concept art I did for the amazing upcoming NBC Universal show “Surviving Earth” premiering next year! This time for a fan favorite, Dimetrodon!

I can’t say much more than this for now 🙊

I *want* to write fan fic for FF14. I left my OCs hanging at the end of base Shadowbringers, with the Scions still in trouble! There are things to do! I have LOTS of thoughts before Endwalker begins, not least of which is "how is Nightbird gonna handle this?"
But instead I'm...playing Starbound.

Write fanfics of your characters in different AUs so you can really understand how multidimensional they can be when put in different situations.

Surprisingly simple for Berylla. She just never talks about it. If someone were to ASK her - she'd probably get a far look for a moment, then reply "I'd rather not talk about it." In part to keep the secrets. In part because all she really REMEMBERS now is the twins weeping.
you know what, i’ll make it a #wolqotd

To WoLs who’ve done Coil: how did your WoL handle having to keep all the secrets about Bahamut and Louisoix hidden from the other Scions?

(Extra points for WoL/Scion shippers who had to hide their beloved mentor’s maybe-survival from their loved one?)

Tyrants view educated citizens as their greatest enemy.

Slaveholders stopped the enslaved from learning to read. Nazis burned books. Dictators censor media.

That’s why Trump is attacking the Dept. of Education, science, and the arts – to prevent us from learning.

It's fascism.

Thought about "Arcanist books having carbuncle marginalia"

that thought then became "Fighting rabbits from marginalia but they're carbies"
