It's been a dream-come-true of mine to do a storybook collaboration for this tragic fairytale poem I wrote about mandragoras, ill-fated love, & Plainsfolk bonding day customs. Please enjoy!

Hello #wolqotd I would like to play a game. I want you to tell me two lies and one truth about your WoL/OC.

The category is "Things that would get them sent to gaol if the authorities ever found out".

Avenrhi (AH-ven-Rye) is not a common name, and it’s not often written down, but a fair few of her neighbors in her hometown have never bothered to learn it- she is House Lazaret’s burden, or the Zanthella store’s boon. Or Chantille’s girl.
Topside, her name is a sweet memory on a spring breeze.
#wolqotd do other people ever have difficulty remembering or pronouncing your WoL's name? or is it so common they meet other people with the same name? what does your WoL think about that?
October 24, 2025 at 11:51 AM
Ruckus Fiddlesticks is a name that’s only ever gotten him bright and immediate attention.
(I regularly hear OOC compliments for his name, so changing it from Ruddle Fuddle was a wise publicity move for him, actually. Thx Momodi.)

Nah, I hard disagree-
I think there’s plenty of fascinating conflict and storytelling to be had in the difficult unraveling of those concepts in radically restructured peacetime.

You can still play people clinging to the old guard or distrustful/paranoid of openly embracing the new too quickly.
I might be in the minority here, but I enjoyed Ishgard more when it was a crushing, oppressive Theocracy where one misstep could be interpreted as heresy.

While Aymeric's Ishgard is undoubtedly BETTER for it's people, it's worse for the setting as a whole in my opinion. . .

Avenrhi works, usually gleaning right through carving up the pumpkin patch & associated festivities.
Wineport & Aleport festivals will be a bit of respite, before a looming waltz with Pomanders of Steel.
Her heart stretches for the finish line of persimmon picking in Dimwold with some trepidation.

Ruckus has a memorial in Drybone tonight, a gala at the end of moon, a food festival shortly thereafter, a spooky story or two to tell in an All Saints variety show lineup…

And that’s before the costume parties, campfires and namedays.

Ruckus is forever a Dwarf Sunflower sort of lad- bold bright and showy, a big personality for his small stature.
#Wolquestion | #WolQotd

Which flower do you associate with your WoL (Oc)? Do you know the meaning of that flower and does it fit for them?
September 1, 2025 at 5:22 PM
Avenrhi is named for mountain avens (Dryas octopetala) a pioneer plant that symbolizes longevity, hope, innocence & resilience.

They are heliotropic and grow close to the ground with fluffy seed heads. One of it's folk names is Thief’s Roots.

Avenrhi would generally not self-identify as a sex worker, since she doesn't fee-for-time or fee-for-service, but she has openly been comfortable involving her sexuality in a lot of the negotiation, environmental softening & workplace play she does hand-in-hand with her day labor as a field hand.
#WoLQotD

Something a lil NSFW

What's your WoL's attitude towards sex work?

What are their interactions with sex workers like, and what would they say/do if their partner wants to do sex work [or] if someone offers them an opportunity to do some sex work on the side?

(non-exploitative SW implied)

Avenrhi hasn’t realized a morning cup of coffee makes a huge difference between farm mornings in La Noscea & how she feels on herbal teas in Gelmorra.

But she would be unhealthy with access to Energy Drinks in Oct/Nov.

She kinda uses pomanders to that effect now.

Can you wol / oc be trusted with caffeine / energy drinks?
August 28, 2025 at 8:43 PM
Ruckus enjoys a coffee and caffeine really has no great bearing on his alertness. I feel like Energy Drinks would mess him up though.

So.... man, as a recovering Kingdom Hearts addict now a FFXIV junkie, when I say I feel a strange sort of way about Calyx being the laziest Ienzo design ripoff, there's also a guilty underpinning of-

Right? More important to have a nice sandbox for crafting your own storytelling imho
If CBU3 heeded the most common complaints about the MSQ the main cast would have like a hundred characters (several of whom would have died solely based on audience dislike) and the story would make even less sense than Destiny 2 for people new to the game.
my post-spoiler 7.3 complaint is that fiction is a constructed object and people are expecting things out of an mmo which just aren’t really feasible within the medium

Ul’dah feels narratively like home, and is impossible to separate as an adventuring start for my main at this point, but the Middle La Noscea field theme coming up at daybreak will always carry the nostalgic weight of those early levels of sprout era for me.
After many years it's hard to say which starting citystate I like in FFXIV because two have such severe continuously unsolved problems, and the other is just not my type/lame. But Gridania being the most walkable and having BENCHES everywhere for good roleplaying is honestly a winner.
