just know, when you say you like a character I created, I will remember it forever, brother. I will ride out and fight for you should you need me, defending you to my last breath.

When your internet has been messed up all week so you have to queue all your roulettes as DPS, just so you don't get everyone killed. 😒

I usually queue whatever's fastest. I'm not here for the waiting.

IF YOUR PRODUCT WAS GOOD, YOU WOULDN'T NEED TO FORCE PEOPLE TO USE IT! *more curse words than I actually know go here*

On the one hand, I don't agree at all. On the other hand, I believe there's *a place* in every MMO for dungeons that look like this.
my most boomer gamer take is all mmorpg dungeons should look like this

Daen is my (second) favorite, and I am concocting plots for him despite his unfortunate passing. Qhora is my least favorite. Her history with me as a character is pretty fraught and she's been through so many iterations she's kinda meaningless now.

For those of you with multiple OC's, aside from your main which one is your most and/or least favorite?

I. Must. Fish. Alone. If other people show up and stand far enough away, it's okay, but if people get close, I just leave. If it's one of those windows that everyone's after, I'll pre-emptively server hop in an effort to at least find a clear spot.
#wolqotd for fishers: what are the superstitions/rituals you have for things? Only fish in certain spots? Catch certain fish to surface slap? An outfit? Let's hear it.

Relief. When it works. Darien has an abundance of aether that he never asked for and has no intention of taking advantage of, but he's learned enough to use some, so it's like releasing a pressure valve for him. Tension dissipates, nerves calm. Despite that, he mostly just... doesn't.

What does using or attempting to use magic feel like to your wol(oc)?

Remember your favorite creator possibly might be struggling with imposter syndrome and doubt and this timeline sucks.. so if you find yourself thinking “wow I really relate to this persons work” or that persons work gives you joy, you should probably tell them. It’s a hard time to be a creative.

When ever one of those AI bros tires to tell you that artist are gatekeeping art remember that pros, armatures, hobbyist all stopped what they where doing to provide guidance to a newbie artist over the shared experience that "this one angle is hard to draw"
The "Frieren Looking Up" Art Trend attracted some Big Names in Animation! Excited for Season 2?

Here’s the lesson I learned the hard way: Love is only scary when you’re falling and there’s no one to catch you.

Darien's lonely. He lost the two people he was leaning on very hard months ago now, and it's been hurting. He needs someone to lean on, so he either pushes the people around him, or he goes to find new people, and he's actually not sure which is best, so... a lot of thinks.
#wolquestion / #wolqotd

What is something your wol / oc has been thinking about a lot lately?

Most of Darien's "mundane" fears spin off of big ones. He's wary of pretty much anything consumable that he didn't see being made, because trust issues.

He also has a sort of claustrophobia? Like a small space with an easy exit is fine, but lock any door on him from the outside and he will freak.
#wolqotd

What is your WOL/OC's biggest mundane fear?

I am not talking about something grandiose like "Fear of letting down my friends down" or "fear of hurting the innocent"

but instead stuff like "I am scared of snakes" or "Thunderstorms freak me the fuck out!"

Eh heh heh.

Ehehehehehehe.

Lemme just... find the log...

[0:43]L___: "Could you imagine all of you in a polycule? The drama. She would be endless."
[0:43]Darien Cadell: "I imagine that every day."

Yeah.

Before the Empire rolled through, almost everything in Darien's life was either idyllic or involved in shielding that. Once the Imperials got hold of him, he was the best kind of soldier the provinces had to offer -- diligent, obedient, efficient -- and *then* he had to meet a LOT of expectations.
#wolquestion #wolqotd
What were expectations like for your wol(oc) growing up?
November 23, 2025 at 10:53 PM
1. Stormblood
2. Endwalker
3. Dawntrail
4. Shadowbringers
5. ARR
6. Heavensward

I did not enjoy Heavensward, and redoing Shadowbringers lately has *lowered* it in my estimation, ha! Take that nerds who try and dictate what is best! I will never share your opinions!
#wolqotd for the player: From your favorite to your least favorite, how would you rank the expansions? (ARR included.)
