Suddenly and inexplicably tempted to go back to an old name for Ser Pennyroyal... Wytchlighter York was a coolass, dark souls-ass name, and tbh I think it's a little more reflective of where they're at right now. They're more trickster than knight at the moment... they still need to grow into it...
(guy* who's never had a hit post before lmao) Y'know, I was worried that this would come off as too catty at the time, but uh, y'all liked this one, huh. (*gender neutral)
Dawntrail: You must learn to distinguish between a person you loved, your imperfect memory of them, and the people that remind you of them. These are not the same, but they are all beautiful, if you give them their space and their dignity *turning around to see an Ysayle shard* “GUYS YSAYLE’S BACK”
btw for people complaining about estinien's armor not changing: the DRG 70 artifact gear is actually pre-dragonsong war armor when dragoons worked with dragons and his specifically was gifted to him by hraesvelgr and he named it "iceheart" :)
As we go into Evercold, I am going to once again remind people that a lot of straight-up nazis appropriate Norse and Celtic aesthetic and mythology, and it is not "causing drama" to kick racists out of your spaces. That shit is like black mold. Remove it immediately or your whole space is fucked.

Anyways yayyy game that I like is getting more game and I dunno if it’ll be good or not, but it’s exciting to wait and see!
[yoshi p voice] its not a fucking SEASON PASS you piece of BELOVED PLAYERS
my frontlines suggestion to help new players: since newer players are unfamiliar with the mechanics of pvp and may not have the skill to dispatch enemy players, crossbows will be distributed such that even a low-skill conscripted force can fight effectively, allowing us to unite all of china
When I use the “✨” emoji, that’s me throwing fairy dust onto my post to make it more whimsical and carefree. AI will never take the humble sparkle away from me.
I know my Aesthetic is like, dark woods and meadows and shit, but tbh there's something about old malls in their prime that really does something to me, I think that'd be a fun build to do in xiv housing. Alas... the housing.
tbh I think it's funny to make Americans learn an accent mark. Net positive imo
"The bells... ah, the bells..." A soft chiming is heard from a random direction, intermittently, and from varying apparent distances. It favors going off during other sound effects. If you look in the direction of the sound, there is an accompanying giggle. No mechanical impact. Made ya look.
#wolqotd assign your oc a cryptic buff/debuff/status. either personal or party wide when they join a group. shit like “the winds push you forward”, “trees want your blood” or like. “sunlight feels kinder” vague. odd. have fun w it
They're probably recorded coming and going just as "Pennyroyal." While they do have a "real name," it's certainly not been written down anywhere. The fortunate thing about having an aversion to metal coinage is that when you work mostly for barter, it's a lot harder for the tax man to keep up with.
#WoLQotD What is your WoL's government name? The one they cash checks out under. The one on their taxes and documents.
It really isn't a matter of "good" things, to them. Rather, it's that the things you get ought to be consummate with the things that you give. And if you aren't met with boons equal to what's been given? Well, then, it's only right to take your share. This is simply the way of it.
#wolqotd / #wolquestion Does your wol / oc believe they deserve good things? Why or why not?
Despite me having JUST typed them as a Fairy/Psychic... and despite them shooting for a Gallade vibe... in my heart of hearts, Pennyroyal is Tinkaton.

#WoLQotD that I am 9000% sure has been asked before: What Pokémon is your WoL/OC?
Teehee I don't play enough Pokemon to be good at this but character building and picking moves makes my brain go weeeeeeeee
Okay, so, when Ser Pennyroyal was in Lalafell Forme, they went by the name Mumushi Mushi. Mushi in Japanese means (more or less) "bug." So I started calling them Ser Bug Bug. Even though they're in Au Ra Mode now, I kept the handle cuz I think it's cute/funny hehe
#wolqotd / #wolquestion Does your handle mean anything for your wol / oc or is it just a random @ you chose?
Vis-a-vis vibes, I do hope people find Pennyroyal inscrutable in an interesting way and not in a "the writer doesn't know what they're doing" way. I know the Xaela "knight" who sounds like Macbeth is a weird combo, but I promise there's method to it. I promise. Please, I promise so hard.
Pennyroyal's accent is very Gaelic, which is completely normal for where they're from, but tends to raise eyebrows in Eorzea. I think people find it difficult to make assumptions about, their accent, behavior, and appearance are all at odds with one another on first blush.
#wolqotd Tell us about your oc's accent. What does it mean to them, how do they feel about it? Is it an unusual accent where they grew up, or where they live now? How do others react to it - do they struggle to understand, or make assumptions about your oc based on it? Let's hear the lore!
