Had a few accounts follow me recently that are clearly expecting I follow back. Just a friendly nudge that I don’t follow back unless I like what I see when looking at your posts. I won’t block unless you give me bad vibes, but that initial interaction will be the only one you get.
One of my favourite things to write is downtime. I love big emotional or cinematic moments as much as the next person, don’t get me wrong. But I think it’s what the characters do when they have a moment to themselves that really interests me. Even if it’s only for a few minutes.
Talk to me, fellow writers.

We all joke writing being hard—and it is, sometimes!—but I want to hear about the writing that bring you joy, too.

Not "what are you good at". That's a different question. What makes the words flow? What makes you go <sickos at the window> when you get to write it?

I typically use places with really good natural lighting that doesn’t need much work, but it changes depending on what I’m doing. The one I keep going back to though is the hideaway beach on my private island. That place has the perfect sunset.

A'vheri retired lmao. After seeing her daughter take the charge during 7.3's climax, she figured the time was right to step down from being the Warrior of Light and pass the mantle to someone whose adventure is just beginning. So she agreed to become Wuk Lamat's advisor and settle down-
#wolqotd / #wolquestion

Mark DT spoilers if needed!

After the events of 7.3 MSQ, what does your wol / oc have in mind next? Are they just vibing along, or taking a mini-vacation?
October 6, 2025 at 7:47 AM
God trying to think of this is hard because I've always imagined A'vheri as an acoustic guitar player. I know electric guitar has been making its way into contemporary orchestra so I don't think it would be too much of a stretch to add an acoustic guitar in there.
#wolqotd prompted by the new Eorzean Symphony art:

what instrument would your WoL/OC play alongside the Scions in the orchestra?

#wolqotd

For those whose WoL/OC is a dancer, what does the art or act of dancing mean to them? Is it simply a means to an end, or is it something much more personal?

The Shadowbringers Finale was one of the best gaming experience of my life.

The music
The setting
The stakes
The payoff
The final battle

All of it was so important to the growth of my WoL, and I have no words to describe how euphoric I feel right now.

I fucking love FFXIV💜

A'vheri never was that close to the Scions to begin with, and started to drift apart from them in EW. When they disbanded officially, she took that as the chance to start doing her own thing. But once A'melrhi (her avatar) came about, she honestly began to blame the Scions for a lot-
#wolqotd is your wol close enough to y'shtola and/or g'raha to drop the first letter

While A'vheri is no skilled smith or seamstress, she did teach herself how to perform basic repairs on her weapons and clothing once they start to show a bit too much wear and tear. Nothing more than stitching holes and sharpening her blades. Anything more, she'll go to a professional.
#wolqotd: how does your WoL/OC approach taking care of their armor and weapons? Are they the type to meticulously check their gear after every encounter, or are they more okay with letting a little wear and tear show?

Bonus: how does that compare to how you, the player, deal with gear repairs?

I think it was really cool the first time it was used in the story, but quickly overstayed its welcome. Conceptually, having a song like that for those moments was a really neat idea and I hope they do something similar for 8.0.

The song itself is alright imo. Not my cup of tea.
#wolqotd More of a player question, but something I have been wondering lately.

What is your HONEST opinion of Smile? I know it's very divisive, but curious.

Personally think it was used HORRIBLY in the MSQ, but the song itself I quite enjoy.

First pokemon game & starter

Arguably also the first video game I ever played. Many late nights were spent hyperfixating on this game.
