Hi. Blorbo time.

Yvesoix is a working class Ishgardian who decided to stop blowing things up and start building class solidarity.

Lacendrelle is a Diva who is terrified of commitment

Onghul is the most autistic Xaela lawyer alive.

T'khet's an engineering genius who unironically naruto runs

Although Yves' banter is less "I came prepared for a battle of wits and it seems you are unarmed" and more "UR MOM SUCK ME GUD AND HARD THRU MY JORTS"

#wolqotd Today my tarot deck gave me the Three of Pentacles, a card of teamwork and collaboration toward building something.

What was a time your character needed to reach out to others to accomplish their goals? How did they feel about not having the power to do it all themselves?

Let's just say Yves can nail a rat to the wall with a knife at 20 paces.

So the next time you feel a knee jerk gut reaction to hate something because AI is mentioned, ask yourself what kind of AI it is, what job it's doing, and what are the costs of it doing its job before you decide to get mad at it.

And AI is used as a tool across multiple disciplines for multiple reasons. The same pattern recognition algorithms AI uses to steal your artwork also allow for more accurate early cancer diagnoses. It's really not that scary at all (except for when capitalism gets involved but that's another thing)

Should AI be broken down into smaller categories? Yes! And it is! ML =/= GenAI =/= pathfinding algorithms, but they're all in some way under that umbrella. Be specific with your terms!

If we redefine AI every few years to mean whatever cool thing it can do next, we risk making it some mystical ethereal scary magic when it's not. It's a bunch of math. It's always been a bunch of math done really fast.

AI has LONG been a nebulous umbrella term for everything from automated chess opponents to your assistant on your phone. Some Roombas use AI to map the area they're supposed to clean to find where they need to go. It's been all around you for decades now.

Sometimes I see the argument "That's not AI because it's not intelligent" and I need y'all to realize that intelligent in computer science =/= self aware and cognizant. It means it's able to perform a complex task that requires decision making to a comparable level of humans. That's it.

The only part that really affects Yves is HW and he was doing his own thing during it. The MSQ is what happens to other people. He just hears about it sometimes.

For those whose OCs are primarily Non WoL, how do you handle the existence of the MSQ? Do you have a separate WoL? Does your lil guy get to play pretend before resuming their regular life? Or do you just ignore it?

Ishgard's Least Wanted @eevswah.bsky.social · 1d

I love Ross and miss him so much.

Ishgard's Least Wanted @eevswah.bsky.social · 1d

Which is a shame because theirs was the first The WoL character I was keenly interested in.

Ishgard's Least Wanted @eevswah.bsky.social · 1d

We did but they don't talk to me anymore. :(

As an aside, thank you all for tolerating my daily tarot wolqotds. I'm doing these as daily meditation on each card so I can really internalize the vibes of each of them and give better readings.

#wolqotd Today my tarot deck drew The Tower, a card of sudden, often catastrophic, change.

What was an event that dramatically changed your character's course in life?

#wolqotd Today my tarot deck drew the Four of Cups, a card of apathy and stagnation.

What is your character stuck on and resistant to move beyond?

#wolqotd Today my tarot deck drew the Eight of Pentacles, a card of apprenticeship and diligence to learning a craft.

What is one skill in which you'd consider your character a master? Did they have someone teach them, or did they learn on their own?

#wolqotd Today my tarot deck gave me The Hierophant, a card of institutions and traditions.

Does your WoL fit in to the culture they were raised in? If not, are there any parts of their culture that they still hold to themselves despite that?

At first, this was simple for Yves - he likes men. Ever since he's had a nonbinary partner, he's had to question it because what does it mean to like men when the person you're with is not a man?

He settled on a "I know it when I see it" lens of attraction but keep it easy he calls himself gay.

late night #wolqotd inspired by a tumblr post:
how would your oc describe their sexuality and/or gender? like if they had to tell another person how would they go about it
