I'm Yoshi. I draw and yell about my FFXIV OCs. (See #wolqotd and #numakaru in particular) In XIV, you might run into me as: 🌟 Hikaru Dragonia 🪄 Yoshi Ayarane 🍗 Kiros Dragonia 👓 Phil Ayarane

Exhibit A: Hikaru Her casual clothes (black tanktop and blue pants or shorts) were her starting clothes. She hated the F!Hyur clothes because they were way too girly for her liking and she had long transitioned to wearing unisex/male clothes by the time she hopped the wagon out of Gyr Abania.

Exhibit C: Kiros He's a special situation since he doesn't come to the Source until halfway through Shadowbringers postgame. But the male Hyur clothes (dyed black) are treated as his casual clothes.

Exhibit D: Numair His Nazou Estate clothes are a mix of the male Elezen (chest, gloves and pants) and Expeditioner sets (boots). While the gloves and boots are kept for most subsequent outfits, the rest are retired after he leaves the Estate with Stephanivien and joins the Skysteel Manufactory.

Exhibit B: Yoshi tfw too Ishgardian for generic Elezen starter clothes, but also not foolish enough to (immediately) wear fancy dresses into battle. So she settled for... low-level mage robes. At least, until Operation Archon, at which the Scholasticate Robes arrived and Yoshi switched to those.

Ar tonelico II was first out 19 years ago (2007)!🎵 Maybe the best of the series with better gameplay, rhythm-esque battles, and more beautiful Hymmnos music (it's a rare IP with a well-made fantasy language)... Very unique, this one. Review + Media: www.rpgfan.com/game/ar-tone...

I do not want to chat with an AI. My extent of interaction is "do you have (title)? cool. Play that, please." And. that. is. all. No need to overcomplicate things. And yet...

Rather than, y'know, do the sensible thing and work through my Steam backlog (read: Trails in the Sky remakes), I went down a Pokemon rabbit hole. (LeafGreen Switch version, specifically) My choice of main should surprise NO ONE.

I normally prefer Mystery Dungeon when it comes to Pokemon, but picked up LeafGreen thinking it would just be a fun stroll through Gen1 memories and be a faceroll just like the original Blue haaaaahahahahahaha (it was as brutal as the jump from FF4 2D to 3D, lmao)

amusingly, because the female protagonist kinda looks like Hikaru, I decided to make Kiros the rival. appropriately, his final choice of Pokemon for the last battle was a goddamn Arcanine XD I need you to imagine Blastoise pointing a cannon at Arcanine's snoot all "lol no."

reasons Hikaru appoints Yoshi or Alphinaud to do press interviews and speeches in her place, because this is all kinds of nope addressing her party or the Scions is one thing, but any more than that is (screaming internally) #XIVExtended

#NewShiftNewQuestion | #wolqotd | #wolquestion How big of a crowd can your OC handle speaking in front of? One person? A party? A town hall? A stadium? The whole world?

see in particular: the "everyone is here" dock scene in base Endwalker. Putting aside how Hikaru was already in a horrific headspace by that point, it would still be a "make Yoshi do it" situation.

also: the wedding in Ringbearer final chapter just, all of the world leaders and VIPs assembled at the Omphalos, all those eyes on Hikaru expecting her to make a speech at the reception and she's just quietly tugging on Numair's sleeve with an implied "you do it, this crowd is way too big >_>"

Prepays for at LEAST five sessions with Molulu (Hikaru's therapist). They have all Seen Some Shit and are well overdue for a sit-down with the lalafell and her kitty. :}}}

#WoLQotD Your WoL is in charge of the Scions' company credit card/checkbook for a day. What are they buying with it?

re: Hikaru Exist. All of the Grand Companies keep giving her money because she's the WoL and therefore the international "oh shit" button. She can't get them to STOP and it annoys her because she thinks it's unwarranted and excessive. Alphinaud basically told her to shut up and take the gratuity.

see also: Hikaru getting a letter directly from Admiral Merlwyb in 6.55 to the tune of "because you stopped the Final Days and the invasion from the 13th, House Dragonia is no longer subject to property taxation. This decision is final and cannot be appealed. Congratulations!"

Hikaru also has a token position as a Security Chief in Skywind Company (aka the #XIVExtended incarnation of my FC) but it's more of a "show up during public events and take pictures with the president" thing and very rarely involves any actual bodyguard duties from Stormblood onwards.

While it may seem unnecessary to many of you, today seems like a good day to remind everyone that Trans Rights Are Human Rights and the trans community will always have my axe.

Hikaru is absolutely running a “Shit my party members say” (aka “No Context Team Dragonia”) account because when you have 12+ in your crew and nearly half of them are Miqo’te, nobody is carrying the brain cell. :P (there’s a lot of “godsdammit, tree is on fire again” posts)

#wolqotd / #wolquestion What kind of social media would your wol / oc use if any? Maybe none at all?

one of the deepest sicknesses in the world are the people who feel personally attacked over other people getting the same rights as them
