#HectorHeinrick knows how to dress to impress. No one in Ul'dah will respect you without a proper show of wealth. #JeanaireLaplace has had to keep up appearances for the Ishgardian peerage even when his own house fell to poverty. He taught himself Weaving to keep old clothes in good care.

I will never stop proselytizing Outer Wilds. The soundtrack drew me in, and I will never forget the story for as long as I live. I want this music played at my funeral. www.youtube.com/watch?v=JPya...

#wolqotd though more for non-WoLs since there's a canon answer; where were they when the Final Days hit? Figured this was a good a time as any to roll out #CelesteVogel 's debut video. Sometimes it takes a calamity to shake you out of your rut and reveal who you truly are. youtu.be/932gp2KWZ88

Been lost in the sauce, Wilds is so damn good and the addition of wounds and Focus mode are such a massive improvement! SnS never felt better. Anywho, here's #HectorHeinrick and #CelesteVogel in their fav hunting fits.

#HectorHeinrick is a huge fan of the Sultana. So much so that when he finally got rich and famous, he bought himself a huge plushie that he likes to cuddle sometimes. His wife is... less than enthused.

Celeste and Zephyra are very femme, even with Cel's buff physique, but #JuliaDrusus rides the line closer to tomboy.

#HectorHeinrick got his pet Lesser Panda from his first FC leader. Her name is Snugglebutt and she earns the name. #ApolloTia adopted the Road Sparrow, Tony, in Hingashi. #CelesteVogel has raised her hippo Mali from birth. #JeanaireLaplace found Beignet in the Brume and brought him home. #wolaotd

Minfilia with some timely advice.

Hector: Lawful Good Human Paladin A'pollo: Catboi with daddy issues. Bhaldy: Gimli knockoff. Celeste: Strong Female Protagonist. Jeanaire: Nerdy, anemic Legolas. Julia: Why don’t girls like nice guys? N'gendi: Edgy catboi with daddy issues. Zen Bear: Norse Mr. Miyagi. Zephyra: Haha, I’m in danger!

Story time! I originally made this as a simple series of screenshots and a friend bundled them into this video. Just a goofy romp of what happened that one time #BhaldsynTwyrsyn got lost on an island sanctuary. Further story details in the replies! #FFXIV #gpose youtu.be/08Cr7-oiY-I?...

putting this here bc i don't want people getting the wrong idea about what kind of knight enjoyer i am

#HectorHeinrick was derived first and foremost from my boi, the best Fire Emblem character of all time. The last name is Germanic because of his Ala Mhigan heritage. Didn’t want to go with any of the campy edgelord names they give Highlanders in lore, like Bloodaxe or w/e. Plus I love alliteration.

#HectorHeinrick wields Excalibur & Aegis, dyed black. See "The Immortal Flame" for how he got it! #CelesteVogel wields the Ala Mhigan Katana her father gave her. #BhaldsynTwyrsyn wields the axe his father gave him, still stained with said father's blood. #RunningRock has a chainsword. Nuff said!

#HectorHeinrick felt the most loved the day he finally learned to love himself again. His family fought tooth and nail to save him, but it was only when he saw the true face of his Esteem that he accepted there was a part of him still worth saving.

Forgot to share this here. Check out this awesome art I was gifted for Festivus! #JeanaireLaplace, my sweet baby boi, my lil croissant. 🥐 I’m playing him in a D&D game as a Circle of Stars Druid nobleman. He’s a sheltered disaster, it’s so much fun. Gifted by @eelgalicious.bsky.social thanks again!❤️

The worst example of this in my opinion is the invisibility of Stonesthrow. Ul’dah is a cesspool of inequality and misery, and the one character that cares to change it, the Sultana, is fake killed off before she can and then just… forgets to do it when she comes back. The writers didn’t want to…

#HectorHeinrick and #ApolloTia were buddies when Hector was in the Coliseum. Apollo was a street performer for gil. #JuliaDrusus is the protege of #N'gendiNuhn in his dabbling with the Void. #BhaldsynTwyrsyn and #ZenBear are best friends, having similar temperments and values. #wolaotd #ffxiv #gpose

#HectorHeinrick was training in Halatali when Dalamud fell. His debtors wouldn't risk their property in war, so he was kept from enlisting to aid the battle at Carteneau. When Halatali collapsed during the Calamity, he and his friends barely escaped with their lives. #wolaotd #ffxiv #gpose

#HectorHeinrick 's Paladin glam has evolved over time, eventually settling on the Exarchic set. I love it for the color scheme; Gold takes center stage, but it's drowning in Black. It symbolizes Hector's self-image as a tarnished golden boy, the heroic paragon forever sullied by his sin. #wolaotd
