#wolAotd back before ARR when Lynea first started learning conjury she had the opposite problem to Sylphie- the offensive magic came very easy, but healing was hard. The fact that she worked to overcome that is a big part of why E-Sumi assigned her to work with Sylphie when the cnj quests started

#wolqotd Today my tarot deck drew the Knight of Pentacles, a card of reliability and diligence.

What is something your WoL has had to work hard at that didn't come naturally to them but never stopped trying until they got it right?

Dragonite13 @dragonite13.bsky.social · 13d

#wolAotd how I handle it rn is that because the FC I'm in is one where we all know each other that the other characters in the FC are Lynea's in-universe adventurer friends as well :D
They get called in during EW to help out when Kokkol needs the adamantite and also for crystal tower probably

Does your free company (if applicable) mean anything to your wol / oc story wise or is it just separate?

The tank questline is actually really fucking important to EW for Lynea because Gleipnir rampaging in the South Shroud puts her family in immediate danger!! I may or may not have killed off her father during this questline 😇

Dragonite13 @dragonite13.bsky.social · 16d

The ShB ones are all canon including the capstone events (including Cyella showing up in MSQ), the DT ones are probably not canon. EW I think they do all Happen but they wouldn't all be handled by Lynea, the only one I'm certain she is involved is the tank questline, and maybe the healer one.

#wolqotd Are role quests in ShB, EW, and DT canon to your wol/oc's story? Is all of it canon? If not, what are some things that were changed? Would your wol/oc have done things differently? Gimme lore deets owo

#wolAotd so this is exactly how I HC things going down in StB when Yugiri wants to ambush Zenos (minus the not recognising bit obviously).

WOLQOTD

Lets say there is an arrogant group of adventurers/hunters that do not recognize your WoL, aren't taking thier advice and are pursuing a course your WoL thinks is a bad idea, and are prepared to go in w/o them, likely in over thier head.

What's your WoL's reaction?

I don't think motivating people to move to other platforms to avoid the stupid censorship rules is a good solution. Quite the opposite. There is NO SAFE space for artists nowadays, if we don't fight back this will only get worse and worse

You might see several artists mad about the bluesky policy update banning non-con, even artists who do not make that kind of material, and wonder why it's such a problem. If that's you, here is a quick breakdown:

#wolAotd Lynea figured the mushloaf was probably safest in terms of "which of these is least likely to make me sick" - it was still very early days in the First since she went to Ahm Areng first so gotta be careful right? What she did not figure was that it would taste Like That :(
She shared it.

#wolquestion / #wolqotd

When cracking the coinpurse in Mord Souq, which of Rhon Ron's wares did your WoL/OC choose?

>Mushloaf
>Everburning Bounty
>Chewy Skewers
>Glazed Wrigglers

Did they enjoy it? Share with the town, or take every last morsel for themselves?

Rhon Ron, Mord merchant of the First, presents his wares for the Warrior of Light participating in Mord Souq's cracking of the coinpurse.

Text on screen:

Browse the Wares!
"Rhon Ron's eatery has a variety of goods available for purchase. Inspect each of his exotic dishes."

From left to right, the Glazed Wrigglers (labelled, "Worms"), Mushloaf, & Everburning Bounty are on display. The Chewy Skewers cropped out on account of the elusive poster not finding a better screencap with all the foods on display, oops.

Freelance illustration gigs drying up. Ad agencies using Midjourney instead of hiring human artists. Costume design turned over to AI wholesale. Good work vanishing.

These are the stories of working visual artists, who describe losing jobs, wages, and hope as their clients and bosses embrace AI.

Ruhtswys is a member of the Rouge's guild in Limsa and only occasionally works with Lynea. She deals in a lot of hunting and shady business handling restricted and prohibited materials, and while she's generally trustworthy she does sometimes just have banned substances on her like it's nothing

Carnation here is a Viera from Golmore who left his position as a wood-warder in favour of a more peaceful life. He's now a botanist working out of Gridania and is the primary caretaker of Lynea's plant collection when she's away on WoL business. As such he's on pretty good terms with her

#wolqotd Do you (the player) have other xiv OC's you would like to do more with but are on the back burner because of your main one(s)?

If so, you should show them and talk about them c:

#wolAotd Lynea doesn't like to incite violence where it's not needed, so she very rarely shoots first. Obviously some problems need to be nipped in the bud but she would want to understand the core of the issue and before opting to strike.

Is your wol / oc a ‘shoot first ask questions later’ type of person or do they try to talk things out first?

Eurovision was once a highlight of my year, but the organization has made clear it will happily politicize the event to support and normalize Israel's genocide. Deep respect to Ireland and Slovenia for taking the lead and refusing to be part of that.

Ants are real now so I figured I should Silksong-ify his design <3 truly the best part of getting a new game is the new OC lore potential
#art #silksong

An image showing the progression of design for my Hollow Knight OC Rai. On the left is the original 2019 design, defining Rai as a reddish-brown ant with horns pointing upwards. In the middle is a slightly bulkier redesign from 2022 which properly changes the horns into mandibles and gives him a dart as a weapon. Finally on the right is a new version made to match the design of ants as seen in Silksong, adjusting his colours and swapping his old neutral cloak out for a torn pilgrim's garb.
