i’m gwenny | 33 | pan ace | punjabi american | xiv liker | she/her
this is my aesthetic/rp/writing/screenshots blog for my default wol oc and my other xiv characters. it has a queue of xiv fandom content running when im not around. this is not a politics free blog re: xiv content. i’m very opinionated about writing, critical thinking, etc jsyk.
my character is a cartoon strongman/one punch man type crossed with a kindness power fantasy. if that sounds too silly for you, oh well! good luck on your journey!
anyone is free to come rp in my inbox or message me to meet up for rp in game, as i’m always looking to make new friends! i am a midcore player from sargatanas, aether and very rp oriented
here is my boy’s carrd
here are his friends
here is my xiv fic (ongoing)
in public rp spaces, i default to my character being a veteran adventurer oc unless other people’s characters ask him if he is/acknowledge him as their wol.

My own hot take is that the player community can do a lot to make the game engaging for new players, in ways that don't involve saying 'hey how can we have less story or make the story matter less?' Embrace the fact that a lot of people play FFXIV for the story and
- don't rush your sprout friends through MSQ.
- stop telling sprouts ARR is bad.
- stop telling sprouts Stormblood is bad.
- do some low-level activities (maps, hunt marks, roulettes, etc) with your sprout friends so they can feel included. yes even if the in-game rewards aren't hugely valuable to you. do things with your sprout friends. include them.
- stop telling sprouts the game only gets "good" after X thousand hours of gameplay.
- don't tell sprouts to skip side content just because you want them to catch up faster.
- let sprouts enjoy the journey.
- you BETTER be waiting for sprouts in cutscenes (most players are good about this).
- seriously don't rush your friends. I know you want to raid with them. I know you want to talk about Shadowbringers with them. be patient. let them enjoy the journey. enjoy it with them.
my friends did this for me when HW came out. it’s still a big thing in our FC that when people do content that is new to THEM, we all join in and help them regardless of the prizes. because we want to see their responses to the story, hear their fresh opinions, watch how it affects them, and bond over the shared experience. it’s wonderful, every single time, i can’t recommend it enough.
