My ISP says the internet issues of the past month or two have been resolved.

Romus and I will be leaving Gridania as envoys! (And doing a lot of character reads)
#ff14 #twitch #youtube #livestreaming

Two young male characters with rabbit ears wear simple white wooden masks while staring at the viewer. The one on the right wears a blue fantasy inspired shirt. The other wears a green and white modern Hoodie with a white tank top beneath. A red panda hangs onto the shoulder of the young man in blue, cartoonishly round eyes staring at him in shock.
Blue shirt man: "These look familliar!"
Hoodie man: "Really?"
Red Panda: *thinking* " Creepy!"
Anxious sweat drops fall from the panda's thought bubble.

He is pining for adventure, and hoping to find some new places and people to get involved with for the time being.
As it stands he is mostly alone, and walking around cities, taking care of his properties, or watching the scenery by himself. 🥺

Where is your Wol/OC right now? Are they in the middle of a journey? At home? Alone, with people, at work? How are they feeling about their situation?

I read somewhere that when you’re with someone you deeply trust, your brain shifts your body into rest mode. Research shows that lovers can synchronise their sleep with heartbeats and movements, falling into rhythm throughout the night. Isn’t it lovely? Love is rest.

Lucky you. Developers have chosen your character to be in a fighting game. On the character select screen, what do they say if they’ve been selected?

Ranged, light-footed, fast/hard attacks in waves-- with a preference for taking specific angles based on feel.
This can end up feeling like he's being extra cautious or only dodging...until he's suddenly sending in several barrages from several angles as hard as he can for an extended period.

Renate is estranged from everyone he knew growing up, so no one knows where he is or what he's doing. He doesn't have memories of his family, either. As an Adventuerer, he makes himself at home everywhere and considers those closest to his heart as family, whether they know he cares or not.

#wolquestion / #wolqotd

Is your wol / oc’s family supportive of their actions and or journey? If not, how do they handle the non-support from their family?

He wouldn't understand that was the intention. Like me, someone would have to hit them on the head with a blunt object labeled for flirting, while shouting, "I AM FLIRTING WITH YOU!"
...Then he would get really surprised while it sunk in over the next few months. 😂

How would your wol(oc) react to someone talking to them with romantic intentions?

My WOL enjoys a good, strong tea. The more bitter, the better.
Strangely, he's ambivalent about coffee...🤷

Beeeee (Comms closed!) @slugelf-lizard.bsky.social · Sep 9

Are you caffeinated? I’m caffeinated.
Everybody get caffeinated

How does your OC react to caffeine? What kind of caffeine do they enjoy?

3 seconds pulled from the "Is Zenos Enthralled?" video.
I had no idea what I was doing. This only exists because I wanted to see it and it made me giggle.
...Maybe it'll make you giggle too!

I plan to do a lot more daily FFXIV streams with random goals, so I made a bunch of generic youtube thumbnails for each type of play.
This way I can:
1. Save time setting up the daily streams, and
2. Have more energy to make special MSQ or Questline thumbnails (yay!)
That's the idea, anyway. 😅

RenJB [a.k.a.] RenOnVacation @renjb.bsky.social · Sep 8

My WOL is not personally invested in the idea-- he sees himself as just another person who sort of ended up in this whole situation. He carries it because it's what others ask him to be. In DT, he is enjoying not having to keep it at the front of his mind, but accepts it's not over yet.

Mo @ the Wandering Stairs 💫 @themoyouknow.etheirys.social · Sep 8

A #wolqotd of sorts: How does your wol handle being “the beacon of hope” so often in msq? Does it fuel them? Do they feel as if it’s burnt out after Endwalker and the responsibility of someone else now? How do the people closest to them see it?

I made a 3-minute video that expands on my personal answer to a past question I posted for #wolqotd. It's on tiktok and youtube. (I enjoyed making it! I may make more with other theories!) ☺️

Does your WOL enjoy combat, or is it something they do when they have no other choice?

Does your WOL have any random secret theories about why certain events in the plot of the story turned out the way they did?

Mine has one and feels guilty about it: He secretly believes his Echo enthralled Zenos during their battle at the Royal Menagerie.
