Huge thanks to @jackiearlos.bsky.social for the art work of my WoL if he was in Expedition 33. Really love this! Amazing work! 😍❤️

Not me finding out (the hard way) that I have to complete a sidequest chain to start the Yok Huy quests.

Should Silent get depressed, he prefers to not rely on others and will attempt to wait it out or think his way out of his depression. In the rare event it becomes too much for him to bear, Silent will withdraw and seek isolation deep in a cup. This has only happened a handful of times. #silentqotd

Silent doesn't get jealous. He is too focused on constantly improving himself to feel this way. If someone manages to impress him, he views it as a positive thing rather than feeling bitter or envious towards that person. #silentqotd

Silent views killing as regrettable, but sometimes unavoidable. If his hand is forced, it's something that won't cause him to lose sleep at night.

Silent Bramble has killed many. His first kill was his own mother, who was tempered by Ifrit during an Amalj'aa raid when he was 13. The guilt messed him up for a long time, and learning later that tempering could be undone...gave him conflicted feelings, but what is done is done. #silentqotd

It's in the name *Silent* Bramble, yes. Ever the dutiful fellow, he will never allow himself to utter even a word of it to anyone unless later granted permission. Possessing the Echo himself, any attempts to pry his mind for information will be met with mental resistance of his own. #silentqotd

Silent is normally predictable and only ever acts unpredictably when it becomes apparent that acting "predictably" does not suit the task at hand. Those who know Silent well know that if he has acted "unpredictably," then that means he was either frustrated or nearing his last resort. #silentqotd

Silent only expresses himself rarely. He much prefers the appearance of a cool, detached, and inscrutable hero. In reality, Silent has found it harder to express himself to strangers; a side effect of suppressing for so long. If he thinks about it and applies effort, he can emote. #silentqotd

Silent requires at a minimum for his allies to be honest and loyal, much like himself. Silent cannot bring himself to trust those who cannot trust him. For his travel companions, he would prefer them to be competent, and that they can handle themselves in a fight. #silentqotd

Silent has many flaws. He dislikes receiving help, he overworks himself and has a savior complex, still retains his prejudice towards the beastmen of Eorzea, and rarely communicates what he is thinking even to his allies. He wants to be better, but often finds himself relapsing. #silentqotd

Silent always seeks to improve. While he does believe that he is in fine form, he also believes that something can always be improved upon, and that resting on his laurels will invite laziness and complacency. Therefore, Silent is always working and pushing himself to become better. #silentqotd

Silent would not do well in therapy. First of all, he would likely not schedule a meeting, as he feels that he does not need one. Secondly, even if he were to attend a session, Silent would simply insist that he is fine, and disclose hardly anything to the therapist. #silentqotd

Silent is in great health, as he often is. He eats a balanced diet, exercises regularly, and generally keeps himself in fighting shape. Despite his older age, Silent remains in incredible shape due to his efforts and discipline, honed and refined ever since his earlier years. #silentqotd

Silent has only intentionally harmed a loved one in one case, that case being the slaying of his tempered mother. It was a chaotic life-or-death scenario, and the young Silent had no way to escape the encounter, leaving him with no other option but to fight past her, and he won. #silentqotd

Silent feels guilt for all of his failings. He wants to be an ideal hero, so failing is inexcusable. He feels guilt regarding his mother's death, though he has mostly come to terms with it. He also feels guilty regarding Minfilia and Papalymo, and the things he left unsaid. #silentqotd

Silent becomes annoyed when he gets confused. He dislikes not knowing things. While he is old and wisened, and also intelligent, he is prideful and dislikes not being able to comprehend something. He considers it a personal failing if something eludes his understanding. #silentqotd

Silent doesn't usually drink to the point of inebriation, typically reserving alcohol for recreation and celebration. He has been observed to drink out of frustration rarely. Able to hold a normal amount of alcohol, once Silent is fully drunk he becomes sleepy, irritable, and wrathful. #silentqotd

Silent tends to visit the Rising Stones in Mor Dhona at least once per moon. While he does so primarily with the intent to reminisce, he often finds somebody in need of assistance, of which he is obliged to help. Silent is often recognized by the people of Revenant's Toll as a Scion. #silentqotd

Central Thanalan. While Silent was a teenager and a mercenary, The Coffer & Coffin and Black Brush Station had enough foot traffic to the point where work could often be found. He was also a Brass Blade of the Rose for much of his life, whose patrols focus primarily on Central Thanalan. #silentqotd

Metaphorical lemons: Eat the lemons raw. Silent takes the bad with the good and he bears it. Literal lemons: Eat the lemons raw. Silent simply enjoys the taste and pure sourness of raw lemons. #silentqotd

Silent is not a very accomplished culinarian. He can follow recipes well enough to the point where they are average, but the only dish he makes that could be considered "pretty good, actually" is smoked raptor, which is also his favorite dish. He can also dry raptor jerky rather well. #silentqotd

Silent prefers salty foods the most, though he is not particularly picky. Silent only dislikes overly sweet things that make him sick such as cakes or chocolates. He can handle the mild sweetness of fruits, etc. Silent enjoys raptor meat, how it can be prepared salty, spicy, or savory. #silentqotd

Silent is not a picky eater whatsoever. He genuinely sees nothing wrong with archon loaf and finds himself questioning why people commonly object to it. However, he absolutely hates sweet foods. He finds that excessive sweetness makes him physically ill and will avoid sweet things. #silentqotd

"WHAT THE BLOODY HELL DO YOU MEAN I CAN'T USE THE SENIOR AND VETERAN'S DISCOUNTS AT THE SAME TIME"

Silent Bramble often snores loudly and irregularly throughout his slumber. His snores often startle those unaware of this quirk due to both their unexpectedness and their volume. Silent has been made aware by others that he snores, though he himself is unaware of just how bad it is. #silentqotd

It depends on the location. If it's out in the field, then Silent prefers to sleep near others because it's simply safer that way, but usually not in the same bed because Silent is aware of his high body heat and that he turns and thrashes in his sleep. #silentqotd

When attending, Silent shows up exactly on time as specified, usually on the dot to an uncanny degree. If he's somehow early or late, he will apologize. When hosting, Silent makes certain to be at least two bells early in order to finalize anything, and to make sure he misses nothing. #silentqotd

Silent is not normally a violent person and tries to avoid using force in a situation if it can be helped, but he is not a pacifist and has no compunctions with doing so if he feels that it is required. Silent is often forced to use violence to fulfill his duty as hero and defender. #silentqotd

Silent would be skeptical of the deal and decline. If he knew it was legitimate, he would easily accept, feeling that he could help many and learn much over the course of an eternity. He'd underestimate how emotionally numb he could become eventually. Still benevolent, just numb. #silentqotd

Silent very rarely initiates conversation, choosing mostly to respond. Whenever he responds or adds his own input, he speaks with brevity and complete honesty. Topics that Silent enjoys include physical training, asking Silent for favors, and discussing politics. #silentqotd

Silent doesn't get jealous. He is too focused on constantly improving himself to feel this way. If someone manages to impress him, he views it as a positive thing rather than feeling bitter or envious towards that person. #silentqotd

Silent does not have biological children, but if he did he would be quite the helicopter parent. He would likely attempt to emulate his own mother in the way that she mentored him, but he might not realize that he can be too tough at times in the specific way that he teaches. #silentqotd

gn

Silent does not care to have a preference for a specific color. If asked, his answer would change depending on how he is feeling. Notably, he dislikes metallic gold, and this distaste grows with its luster and abundance. To Silent, the shine of gold brings to mind insatiable avarice. #silentqotd

Silent finds sweet desserts cloying and dislikes them. Concentrated sweetness upsets his stomach in a crippling manner, much to his embarrasment. He does partake of alcohol occasionally for recreation and celebration, which could be considered a treat as he is well aware it is a vice. #silentqotd

by level 30 you should have removed Cure from your hotbars completely

I am weak and I bought the last half of the parts. I lost like 4,000 fire shards crafting tho. -10,000,000gil

Silent has had past romances, all occuring around his thirties while he was looking for fulfillment. It's been so long and meant so little to him that Silent doesn't remember any names. He tried dating as a coping mechanism instead of for genuine feelings, which is why they failed. #silentqotd

Silent will simply repeat his "no." If the matter is still pressed, he will ignore any further insistence or sometimes even outright leave the situation. However, if coercion is attempted (physical or otherwise), Silent will likely respond in kind with similar "coercion" of his own. #silentqotd

Metaphorical: While there are exceptions in crises, Silent would rather have the full measure of a situation before he acts rather than rush in or act too early in a way that cannot be undone. Literal: A verbal command to stand down will be given, afterwards force will be applied. #silentqotd

Silent Bramble is a pessimistic realist, always expecting and making preparations for what he can imagine the worst-case scenario to be in any given situation. Silent doesn't wallow in despair or ignore good fortunes, but he would rather not take risks or naively hope things go his way. #silentqotd

submersible crafting ouuuugh

Silent has grown to be unbothered by the sight of blood, injury, or death. He's seen quite his share over his years, including multiple massacres, wars, and the Calamity. The most that could happen now is that he may possibly internally cringe for a moment, and then quickly move on. #silentqotd

Silent only enjoys combat in a sparring or training scenario. Otherwise, he will fight only when he must. Even during battle, Silent will prioritize protecting both himself and his allies, and even protecting his foe / holding back if he is able to nonlethally subdue them. #silentqotd

In combat, Silent prioritizes keeping his guard up and will rarely go on the offensive, preferring to let his enemies tire themselves out and yield in the face of impregnable defense, or wait for his enemies to overextend or let down their own guard and exploit each opening as it comes. #silentqotd

+ extremely loyal and selfless + strong and capable of defending himself and others + focused, though this can be potentially detrimental - very hard to get to know, keeping most at arm's length - possesses prejudice to beastmen races - focus can lead to dogged stubborness sometimes #silentqotd

Silent has a bad habit of staring wordlessly at others. He seems to be unaware of how offputting this can be to some. Silent perceives staring as just an idle habit, but his quiet intensity, imposing stature, and natural scowl can come across to some as odd or even sinister. #silentqotd
