(Hi, I'm Diana. I RP several characters in #FFXIV. My main is a snarky, Geordie-Slang speaking, genderfluid Drow (yes, Drow) named Sha'dow Weaver. They're a Storm Captain with the Maelstrom, AGGRESSIVELY polyamorous, afflicted with the Spellplague AND Aether Sickness, and main RDM/MCH/DRK.⤵️

(Sha'dow. Can't. Die.)
#finalfanasyxiv heres a #wolqotd to really make you think! whats the worst thing youve done to your WoL when making their lore (either past or during MSQ)? mine is either having Bulqedar having to spend 10+ years in the first waiting for everyone else or the “Turn Left Bulqedar” anomaly lol

(Sha'dow. Can't. Die.)
(Pain. Bliss. Life. It's like fire searing through Sha'dow's veins. It's the most unimaginable pain you've ever felt, every second they're touching the arcane, yet ecstasy at the same time.
Unless they're within around 100 yalms of one of their lovers. Then it's bearable.)

(Sha'dow is guilty of war crimes/crimes against humanity. After the Bloody Banquet, they may or may not have murdered Brass Blades and Crystal Braves EN MASSE, just... DOZENS.
And not quick, either. We're talking brutally. We're talking viciously. We're talking GRAPHICALLY.
If asked about it?

(At the start of ARR, Sha'dow had no memories of who they were, or where they came from. Until 5.3, they thought they were a Duskwight. During Heroes' Gauntlet, they remembered everything (i.e. they're a planeswalking Drow from Faerûn). They've also changed jobs many times, most notably from BLM to⤵️
No matter where you are in MSQ, how has your WoL changed since the start of their journey? It could be appearance, personality, values, or job changes for example.

Actually the shipping thing made me think of this
Here's a #wolqotd - when was the moment you saw a character and went "this one. That's the one right there", for your WoL/OC? This includes multiships too!!

(We were somewhere around Barstow on the edge of the desert when the drugs began to take hold. I remember saying something like "I feel a bit lightheaded; maybe you should drive, Charlie Brown," And suddenly there was a terrible roar all around us and the sky was full of what looked like huge bats.)
“Would you kindly”… Powerful phrase. Familiar phrase? Sit, would you kindly? Stand, would you kindly? Run! Stop! Turn. A man chooses, a slave obeys. Kill! A man chooses! A slave obeys! OBEY, CHARLIE BROWN!
you can see it when you look out your window, or when you turn on your television. you can feel it when you go to work… when you go to church… when you pay your taxes. it is the world that has been pulled over your eyes to blind you from the truth that you are a slave, Charlie Brown.

Took me 17 minutes. It looks more like an apple than a sphere. The shading is uneven. But it's not AI. This shitty sphere was drawn by my own, badly nerve damaged hands. That's right, I picked up a B graphite pencil, and put it to page. I'm struggling my way to learn to draw, cause AI sucks.⤵️

#wolqotd I want to hear how your WoL/OC would describe one or more of the expacs from their perspective.
Pick an expac and imagine they've been asked to describe what it was like for them in one sentence. Feel free to do a sentence each for multiple expansions!
Bonus points if it's ridiculous.

(Not great. See, Sha'dow is originally from Menzoberranzan. That means Hydaelyn had to graft Meteor's soul into theirs.
Lot of pain, lot of suffering, could have been avoided had things been done differently.
It does, however, mean that Sha'dow's soul is even DENSER than even an Unsundered.)

Had a break during my work, so here’s my first #wolqotd…
What’s the deal with your WoL’s parents? Are they alive? Dead? Supportive of their adventures? Or are there… daddy/mommy issues? (Dramatic gasp)
