One that I think could help a lot of people: You do not have to stay on one class in Frontlines. You are able to swap classes in the respawn/starting zone of Frontlines. You also get exp on the class you queued into Frontlines for. Leveling MCH? Queue in Frontlines and change to another class

Aoi doesn't need liquid courage to sing normally Thancred, Aoi's favorite piece of shit best friend, encourages him to have some That is how you get Aoi singing Gossip by Måneskin and Tom Morello and dancing to the lyrics Urianger is the designated driver and Estinien is facepalming

Me seeing that 27 people answered my WoLQotD today Seriously, holy shit, glad you guys liked the question!

Immediately taking care of it. Aoi is a very empathetic person to animals and he would ensure they recover That is why he typically has a flock of animals following him while hunting

Viator Vehicle 🔸Changes the Archon Throne mount into Endwalker Zenos to carry you around. 🔸While technically usable for all, your mileage may vary on the character placement. May want to use Simple Heels' LivePose to adjust. 🔸More notes in mod pages. Trello (GDrive) / Heliosphere #LinkusLoot

You. Yeah, you. Come in a little closer. A little closer. Closer. Good! ``pulls out a megaphone`` YOU SHOULD COMPLIMENT ALL OF THE MALE CHARACTER PLAYERS- MEN DON'T GET AS MANY COMPLIMENTS AS WOMEN AND WE SHOULD LOVE ALL MEN AND WOMEN EQUALLY!! That is all :3

Never feel bad about reposting your own work again. Sometimes a moot will repost their art and I'll see and go "ooooh, omg this is gorgeous!!!" only to see I already liked and reposted it and forgot I saw this already. It's nice to be reminded about the bangers everyone made ✨🫵🏻

Sleepy Hollow- the version with Johnny Depp I was eight.

"Now, we need to find all these baby alpac-" "Do you MIND, Sylph?" "Kweh."

Single Dad raises Chronically Sick Daughter with an obsession with bugs

Lowkey want to recreate my Zenos on Raff. He was on Marilith, but, he no longer has an FC there, so he's kind of available to put on Raff?

Thoughts about leaving Aether and going to Dynamis: I think it was the best possible situation for me. Yeah, I'm not friends with the people I left Aether with and I'm fine with that. I made new friends that I wouldn't trade for the world.

Magical Girl. I shit you not, Aoi is referred often to be a magical girl by people I know and I can imagine that he would 100% have a Sailor Moon-esque transformation between classes XD

I feel like Aoi would be the smart survivor. Like, he'd immediately realize something's wrong and turn around like 'Nope'. It's not even that he's that smart- his bullshit meter is just hyperaware of dangerous situations and his survival instincts kick into overdrive when he senses danger

#WoLQotD | #WoLQuestion Imagine a scenario where your WoL had no access to their weapons/magic/the Echo. Only relying on their smarts and situational awareness, answer this question. Would they survive a slasher movie?

FFXIV is a social game and you have a 90% chance of success when asking someone to play with you. Ask to join that friend group. /tell that person you'd love to do roulettes with. You are inconveniencing no one. Worst you can get is "im busy rn" Be proactive. Shyness keeps you lonely and miserable.

I'd say the last time he full-on sobbed was EVERYTHING in Living Memory Especially Cahciua's goodbye HOW DARE YOU MAKE HIM HAVE FEELINGS ABOUT PEOPLE HE'S BARELY KNOWN

Absolutely not. You can tell immediately what Aoi's thinking by looking at his face

Me: Hey, you know how I hate pvp? Best Friend: Yeah? Me: APPARENTLY NOT IN FFXIV

I would hope so, but lord knows I'd probably give Aoi a panic attack XD

#cat #blackcat Since some people seem excited to meet him- This is Emet. He refuses to let me take a photo of him (like he physically headbutts my phone in the camera lens to block it) so I caught him while he was dozing

Physical touch, positive affirmations, and lots of gifts

Aoi's spellcasting is very much based on Eclipsa's magic- where she can both do long incantations for powerful spells and single one word spells He likes to create his own incantations for his spells so no one can copy them

You have to be nice to trans people, even if people around you aren't

Pranks. Just.. trust me.

Me looking at the ffxiv nendoroids and just waiting for my FAVORITE character to come out Come on, I know Emet's in this set- give me the grumpy old man!

DnD Shenanigans Our CoS Hardcore campaign has nearly every skill covered- except intelligence. Collectively, I think we had negative IQ- Our friend joined and now, his character is the default holder of our group's braincell XD

if the game is not fun for you anymore, quit. doesn't have to be forever, no one's saying delete your character and never come back, but genuinely, if actually playing FFXIV brings your more consternation than joy, it will show in how you play, and that isn't fair to the others who *are* enjoying it

Hey. That person you've wanted to RP with. That fella you've wondered if you have plot ideas for. That player you think their writing is neat and you'd like to collaborate. ~~DM them~~

Know what the invuln abilities look like, especially for DRK and GNB I have made so many healers panic when I use Living Dead- which results in me dying as a result. For Living Dead, the DRK is supposed to get to 1 HP, they heal when the second part of the attack takes place. This is normal

Aoi wants kids and he's pretty sure Estinien does too (yes, he does), but the two also have a lot of family trauma that they wouldn't want to inflict on their children. If they do have kids, they'd need a lot of therapy to be good parents for their kids

Enjoy a badly drawn picture of my fursona (goat/rosy maple moth) that I drew with a Huion Note!

I absolutely love the Off-duty Gleaner because of this one line: "And to think I used to consider myself a match for my rival─former rival, I should say. We competed to see who could bring in finds of the highest quality, but he left Old Sharlayan, and has since become a freelancer."

#aoilore Below are Aoi's relationships with the Scions. Each comment will have a specific Scion and includes those who are no longer part of the Scions or have since passed!

Books and strawberries. During ARR, positive affirmations and flirts could also be used to bribe Aoi. Post-ARR, try it and you will likely either be hit or stabbed by Aoi, depending on how much he likes you as a person. Pick your poison.

#aoilore Normally, Aoi is able to heal his scars himself due to his healing magic However, before the Scions began to escape the bloody feast, Ilberd had attempted to kill Aoi, leaving him with a deep wound in his side. While he obviously survived, he has a scar on his side from that night

I do not like this gen AI I do not like what it implies I do not want it in my art I do not think it makes you smart I do not want it in my games I do not like its goals and aims I do not want it in my books I do not like the way it looks I do not like it, I don't care I do not want it anywhere

He has a backscratcher for this such occasion. It's called Estinien's armor and he 100% does it to get a rise out of the other Estinien: What are you doing? Aoi: My butt itches and the spiky parts of your armor are my butt level. Estinien: ``sighs and picks him up`` Enough. Aoi: HISS

Guys, question, does this look like a good pirate glam?

The Dancing Plague (EX) Aoi is so intertwined with fae lore that this specific EX is considered canon for him. For him, he sees a fae king suffering because of the amount of light in them and he's the only one able to save them. No matter the damage to his body, he has to help

If memes existed in FFXIV, that would be Aoi's humor

Pink Refresher for Aoi, or anything with strawberry I say Pink Refresher specifically as it's not as strong of a strawberry flavor and it's really nice and pleasant with coconut and strawberry

Fuck it, we ball! #WoLQOTD | #WoLQuestion What cirkul flavor would your WoL drink if cirkul existed in FFXIV? Provided a link to the actual cirkul site for you to see the flavors in comments

Level 100 Viper! Three classes to go!

For anyone curious, yes, I used to be heavily involved in the tumblr roleplay community Hell, three of my best friends came from the community, and I've made many more for joining a Dragonriders of Pern forum (btw, don't read the book series, it did not age well) I will never return to tumblr

I'm tempted to make my next WolQotD to be what cirkul flavor they'd drink I don't know, I got my monthly box

Aoi's specifically written name in kanji means Hollyhock Sun, so he is a huge fan of hollyhocks. Estinien knows this and likes to surprise Aoi with a bouquet of them occassionally If in a universe where Aoi is with Zenos, Zenos brings them as an 'apology' if he was too rough in battle
