She looks so cute as always!! I missed seeing pink Ely 🥺
Uh... hmm...

- No pants, she's always a shorts/skirts
- If cleavage isn't showing, it has to be something where it's quite literally the first thing you notice about her still
- Color!! She can wear black and white but she's such a sucker for colors!
#wolqotd I came to the conclusion that the wardrobe element trinity of my guy is:

• Sash around the waist
• Cleavage
• Knee-High Boots

What is yours?
I'm holding out for Meracydia to see if I can play with my idea more but we shall see because tbh I'm way too particular about how I want to present Ely in FFXIV world 😂
#wolqotd / #wolquestion

In addition to creating lore for your WoL/OC, did you also create unique lore about where they're from? Are they part of an obscure miqo'te tribe whose culture you created from scratch? Are they from a village with its own customs? From another Reflection? Sound off!

For #LysitheaWLWWeek Day 1: Sweets, I wrote a minific about Annette and Lysithea running a bakery, and the two of them getting old and a little chubby together. 🥰

She loves others so strongly and so deeply but honestly can't fathom people would feel the same. The willingness to put her life on the line for the sake of others without expecting the same is, again, just a flaw that this event really changed and redefined her relationship with the scions
This is just canon Ely but for wol!Ely the thing that makes it difficult to call out is she is very particular and she gives silent treatment and is very quick to push back. If you push too hard, you'll be met with her bullheadedness but if you don't push enough, she won't open up either.
To elaborate, it's not that I don't think any of the Scions don't care about her nor that they haven't realized there's issues. It stems from the fact that Elysia is VERY good at keep people at arm's length while feeling very close to you. It's one of her major flaws as a character.
It's this particular event that I think really set up the scene where all the Scions realized how much they never truly realized how deeply traumatized Elysia is. Not just from the event itself but quite literally everything. She actually breaks down right then and there, full blown sobbing.

How did your WOL/OC react/feel about the events of "In From the Cold"? Was there anything specific that happened to them that was not shown in-game? What was the aftermath like?

SNAP isn't about "people who don't work." It's about people who don't get paid enough to live.

Of the 40 or so million people who rely on food stamps:

* Two-thirds are children, seniors, or disabled

* Most working-age adults who receive SNAP are employed—but in jobs that pay poverty wages

I wont be receiving SNAP benefits in Nov. and that is 100% of the money I rely on for food every month. I would really appreciate it if this was shared around a little more. 🥲🙏

Any small tips would also mean so much and possibly the difference between me eating or not! Thank you so much! 🥺❤️
Im offering some simpler sketches over on Ko-fi! ☕

These are skeb-style sketches with a lower priority in my queue but would really help me to cover some monthly expenses! <:)

One of these days I will write scenes out because there's a lot in my mind about Elysia's journey as the WoL that i just kind of keep in my mind. I can admire people who gpose it out or write it out. All you guys get is me rambling a bit about the ideas I have LOL
This event was just the one time she couldn't get right back into it but it's also where she's finally vulnerable to people she cares for deeply, that are family to her. It's also where I imagine one of the bigger scenes between Elysia & Thancred happen. Their friendship is REALLY important.
Elysia has always stood up, always gotten back up but the worst thing she does is always be in control of how she is perceived. There are, of course, moments of weakness but she is THE warrior of light. She doesn't stay down. She buckles but she WILL get back up and keep fighting.
It's this particular event that I think really set up the scene where all the Scions realized how much they never truly realized how deeply traumatized Elysia is. Not just from the event itself but quite literally everything. She actually breaks down right then and there, full blown sobbing.

there's other verses i put her in that i try to transfer over a lot of her background if i can fit into the setting but sometimes i will adjust it to make her fit better in a story. i think, though, that the main theme in all of these is the exploration of grief in some form.
