For an actual instance: in Stormblood I decided that Q’linn and his tribe were from Gyr Abania, only to find out that the Q are from Vylbrand and were mostly wiped out by the sahagin. So as a result of tribes splitting and reforming, there can be tribes in different regions sharing a letter.
Mostly, I’ve actually had plot points line up weirdly well with my headcanons. I named my Azem Pytheas, who concepted Thule, then found out that was EW’s final zone. At one point I wrote a scene where Q’linn quotes Haurchefant to Ryne, and then later that dialogue options happens. (cont.)
So uhh, I wanted to look something up in the wiki and learned that the 6th shard already rejoined with the source which means Mavis' backstory doesn't make sense.

#wolqotd: Did you ever have to change a large part of your WoLs backstory because of something that was revealed later in the story?
Q’linn and Josie are linkpearl, then tomestone, calling daily in the months up to their wedding when they find themselves working on other sides of the star. When Q’linn goes to work with the Cosmic Exploration, they record messages for each other.

My sympathies to whoever monitors those…
I haven’t done a #wolquestion in a long ass time, so here’s one. How does your wolship stay in contact if/when they can’t physically be together?

I always wonder what the Skywatchers on the First do all day. If the name is literal they’ve probably gone blind by now.
Picking back up with Dawntrail's MSQ, and this mount really feels perfect for this zone.

Sometimes I feel bad how many hcs I have that boil down to “give them all more scars and injuries” XD

Thancred is fully blind in his left eye, G’raha feels phantom pains in the Exarch’s crystal limbs, etc.

Since a few of Q’linn’s jobs are extensions of MCH, I’d love to incorporate some pieces from MCH-exclusive gear into those! Maybe keeping his Pioneer’s Coat for GNB with some more armoured accents.
XIV community, talk to me.

Ohhh yeah, you saw the Live Letter, you saw this awesomeness, this opens up more combinations and gives everyone more freedom to create more awesome glams, so what ideas do you have in that head of yours?

#xivqotd #wolqotd
Oh man I never even thought about this, this is so good
Time to rework all my glams around crafter set pieces XD

But seriously this is an incredible addition
The team is relaxing a long-held policy of certain types of gear glamour only being equip-able by certain roles. "Use any gear in your glamour, irrespective of class, job or level restriction." However, weapons/tools are exempt due to animations.
The screenshots showed a Dark Knight in White Mage artifact gear so looks like that’s A-OK!

Fashion enjoyers, this one is for you!

From Patch 7.4 onward, you'll be able to equip any glamours regardless of your class/job! ✨

Mix and match your favorite outfits and slay on the battlefield! 💅
My life for an Ala Mhigo variant dungeon with Lyse as companion NPC, SE plz

I’ve even started to mock up a fan design of one that I might make into a full fanfic one day
Nozari:
- Stole the wine the WoLs spent way too long getting for Gegeruju and drank it herself
- Kidnapped a Garlean dignitary before he could discover her squatting in his home
- Has killed one Wood Wailer, one Brass Blade and one Yellowjacket
Erien:
- Stole a barrel of dwarven grog from the Wandering Stairs to drink Giott under the table
- Burnt down a whole shelf of tomes in the Noumenon with a stray Fire II spell
- Stole Ser Zephirin’s body before it could be buried, dumping it somewhere in Azys Lla to rot
Q'linn:
- Was run out of Ala Mhigo because he slept with the son of House Priscus
- Covered up Jifuya’s murder from Hien
- Once helped the Coeurlclaw Poachers hide their crimes out of sheer spite for Kan-e-Senna

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".
Erien’s hands are more calloused from years fighting with a greatsword, with faint pale splotches on her palms from her frequent conjuring of fire. Ink stains on her fingertips are a common sight, as an avid reader and writer both.
Q’linn’s hands are fairly slender, with quite a few healed cuts and burns from his crafting work - his innate lightning resistance means he can shock himself sometimes without noticing. Probably some fresh dirt and grime too. His claws have been clipped down to hyur nail length, but regrow quickly.
you know what, late night #wolqotd

What do your WOL/OC's hands look like? So much story and personality can be held in the hands. Describe them and provide a picture too if ya like!
Q’linn and Erien would both scoop it out gently and find somewhere to set it down.

If it’s a spider though, for Erien this is accompanied by a lot more cooing and temptation to keep it around; as a half-drow in another life, I’ve adopted it as a quirk that she thinks spiders are irresistibly cute.
#wolqotd how would your OC react if they found an insect in their bed?
Q’linn parts his coat to reveal that, for a man who avoids a fight when he can, he’s carrying *far* more guns than one would expect.

Erien would let the challenger go on their monologue, maybe even take a swing or two, before a solid headbutt knocks them on their rear end. Maybe she gives pointers.
#wolqotd

Some poor misguided fool with plenty of life ahead is spoiling for a fight they cannot win. What does your WoL/OC do/say to intimidate the fool out of attacking?
The G-Warrior is in reserve as Q’linn’s ace in the hole. If I’m going fully self-indulgent, he’s been working with Cid, Nero, Stephanivien, the loporrits and the other Societies to upgrade it into an even more powerful form, with his anima companion Locke assuming direct control: G-Warrior Ultima.
#wolqotd

Your WoL/OC must make a last stand against a greater threat than any they have faced. They must go all out. Every resource. Every Ally. What does that look like? (Don't feel constrained, combine classes, headcanons, whatever makes it a heroic defiance.)
Erien is either a History teacher or the school librarian - I could see her trying to do both. Tries a little too hard to be “the cool teacher” but it seems to work. Was on the football team when she studied here, but wouldn’t mention it until you saw her old photo in the trophy case.
Q’linn would definitely be a Woodshop teacher, subbing in for Beatin on occasion at first then fully taking over once he retires. He could snap up any high-paying engineering job he wanted, but here he feels fulfilled and happy. Having a cute workplace romance with Josie, the Home Economics teacher.
#wolqotd who is ur wol/oc in Gakuen Eorzea... who do they hang out with... are they class of darkness? cool upperclassman? social studies teacher who harasses guidance counselor selch between classes?? please feed me
Q’linn: 18, dipping into 3 during the winter

Erien: 5

Nozari: 14
#wolqotd I hope no one stole this first. what do they wear to sleep

Izumi's ass naked at 20 thank you for your time
Erien is in a similar boat. She was sure Haurchefant would be the love of her life; if soulmates were real, either she’s lost hers or their relationship was just a stepping stone to her “destined” one. She isn’t a fan of either idea, and respects what they had even as she moves on.
