the most annoying part of my own characters is the fact that it is very hard for me to attribute a specific age to them, i write all of them at so many different times in their lives, and their ages are usually relative to each other or to expacs, but in a vacuum they're all of their ages at once...

Just I reminder that I'm Anti Gen-AI and that not only will I only ever support *real* artists, I will never forgive anyone who knows about this and continues to use Gen-AI.

It isn't just hurting artists' work, it's fueling Environmental Racism.

i just saved 200 dresser slots after finally understanding that outflit glamours condense them to 1 slot, this is the best update ever (i wouldve thrown up if i learned about this system before the "add to existing outfit" update)

most of my ocs besides my wol, i only use the job names as a shorthand rather than a literal equivalency. e.g. adonis is a paladin, in the sense that he uses a sword & shield with magic, but he's not A PALADIN. aquila i call a gunbreaker but they're not A GUNBREAKER they're just a gross garlean.
❤️ #WoLQuestions #WoLQoTD 🖤

Lore wise, does your WoL/OC's follow the 14 Job rules or do you change it up?

I.E. They're BLM but use only Fire magic, MCH with two guns, etc.

not to sound a little evil but i might turn off KeepUI.fx and just let my UI have my preset... it feels like i turned the contrast up on everything... this feel like sacrilege

im finally going into my glamour dresser and the thing that instantly hit me is that character-specific pieces are so so so much easier now. ayame's mask. dove's earrings. c'stajha's armlets. adonis's rings. yeah sure what if i cry.

the white mage trio (kaseki, ayame, kaigara) and the black mage trio (hyouga, hotaru, sekitan) i'm realizing theyre just separated into the small squad vs the tall squad... very much a question of "which table will you sit at" with these separate trios
December 18, 2025 at 3:34 AM
ice and lightning being opposite elements and not just subtypes of existing elements (water/fire) is actually the coolest shit ever and then they made them directly related to light/darkness and hydaelyn/zodiark ohhhhhhh man the ELEMENTS are so fucking COOL
December 18, 2025 at 3:31 AM
i haven't gposed a lot this year but hyouga's is my favorite by a mile, still very proud of it esp w/ it being only my 2nd serious gpose in years. it was my first serious attempt at post-editing, i did so much lighting in post and i repainted all of her hair, and its atmosphere im very proud of!!!
December 18, 2025 at 3:26 AM
i cannot wait for 8.0 when c'stajha gets to chop all her hair off. the reclamation of what was previously a traumatic response uuuuuuuuuuugh
December 18, 2025 at 3:12 AM
really it all comes back to how debilitating mouth pain is, its sooo hard to be creative when you're in pain, and tooth pain is up there with back pain as some of the worst shit id never wish on anyone. i had relief today and spent it on cleaning like mannnnnnnn this shit sucks ass!!!!!!!
December 17, 2025 at 10:56 PM
it actually makes me doomer so hard when i look at my ocs and knowing only like 3 of them are actually at a level im happy with since pre DT. cstajha hyouga and teitō like be so fucking fr teitō isn't even a character and cstajha still isn't at her peak.

cstajha 2025 patch

- smaller head
- big arms
- this is literally it and i need to do more, i don't know why modding is so fucking hard for me but my goal in 2026 is to get everyone the way they're supposed to be
#wolqotd of sorts because I think this would be cursed fun for a 2025 recap. Write the changes you made to your WoL/OC this year as patch notes.

What was their 2.0.25 patch?
- Body adjustments?
- That one random fantasia to fix something no one noticed?
- Bigger (or smaller) tatas?

Indulge me 📝
December 17, 2025 at 10:45 PM
im realizing now that cstajha really does not make jokes, the closest you'll get is a specific insult that is only funny because of its specificity. and she's not trying to be funny when saying it. i can't believe she's actually very serious all the time
#wolquestion #wolqotd
What is your wol(oc)'s sense of humor like?

i'm writing like a 40-post thread in rot13 that kinda has nothing to do with msq and i'm apologizing in advance bc i have not actually done a full lore dump of an oc like this, but this is what i want to do all the time for my ocs. if youve finished the patch and then read all of that, thank youuuu
