WoL QOTD's crossposted from Bluesky bcs I'm a FUCKING IDIOT! LOL and don't have a fun tag to make a feed from SORRY

[image id: screencapture of bluesky from @/rikaxiv.bsky.social with the tags #/wolquestion #/wolqotd and the question "Is your wol(oc) one to swear?"]

Adelline is. Raze will under a lot of stress. Collet can but prefers pg-13 alternates even at her age (26 as of this post) so that makes the real swears either funny or oh shit

[image id: screencapture of bluesky from @/the-carrotorium.bsky.social‬ with the tag #/wolqotd and the question "Does your WoL/OC carry a back-up weapon? If so, what is it, and why is it their secondary choice? Has it saved their life?"]

Adelline: katana Raze: hammer Collet: (smn) book Lol Mostly alt job purposes for collet and adelline. Raze thats just her profession so its always there. Whether it saved their life or not depends. The cats maybe but unless collet can chant fast the book aint doing much unless she bonks. Which then brings the problem of why did the chakrams not come back!

[image id: screencapture of bluesky from @/tasirfarosh.etheirys.social‬ with the tag #/wolqotd and the question "In your WoL/WoLNPC ship, who said "I love you" first?"]

Raze 100% for her and Ade. For Collet and Raha, I think it's a toss up. Scholars (and their friends) would argue about it for weeks. Both are too embarrassed to give them a straight answer.

Do your Wol and there partner find each other in every universe? or do they sometimes not find each other?

For me Sky and Thancred always find each other no matter what"]

Adelline and Raze would. I originally had them as World of Warcraft characters and while because of their classes they were more enemies, I still had them close. In xiv they ended up even closer and I'm sure if I made them in another world they'd find each other one way or another.

Collet and Raha.. idk I haven't thought about them as much but I figure Raha would at least try. Collet it wouldn't be for lack of care but a lack of knowing. Something might feel off but she wouldn't know what that was.

[image id: screencapture of bluesky from @/phasasesu.bsky.social‬ with the tags #/wolqotd #/wolquestion #/ffxiv and the question "Does your WoL/OC have any childhood friends? How did they meet? Are they still in contact?"]

Collet doesn't. That she knows of. Her branch of the Malaguld clan were wanderers and by the time she remembered them, they weren't around.

Raze is Adelline's childhood friend and they started dating at some point during the plot. They met when they both were looking for materials for their respective crafts, Adelline for potions and Raze for ores. Adelline eventually just kept going back for equipment once Raze really settled in where they lived before as Ade furthered her combat training

[image id: screencapture of bluesky from @/aliciapendragon.bsky.social‬ with the tag #/wolqotd and the question "So for your WoLs, what made you choose the race you did? Lore, design, what you had planned for your character in terms of backstory/headcanons/other personalizations

I'm curious"]

For Raze and Adelline it's because when I still played WoW, the characters I adapted them from where Blood and Night Elves so they already had Sun/Moon theming, so it just turned to the sun/moon cats.

For Collet being an Au Ra... it was the only race that I could have at 5'2" that wasn't midlander or miqo. AND had hairstyles that I liked more for Collet when I made her as just a funny meme.

So there was no lore reason. That all came later!

[image id: screencapture of bluesky from @/starkissedelezen.bsky.social‬‬ with the tag #/wolqotd and the question "Are there parts of your WoL‘s lore/story/relationships that are directly inspired by a piece of media (movie, book, comic, game, whatever else)?"]

Collet's original story, before I revamped it, was so heavily Tales of Symphonia inspired aside from her name, it was absurd. So I scrapped it and changed it so that she instead was inspired by a storybook that is basically Tales of Symphonia. Which is why her name's Collet and why she's Like That.

I ALSO joked with my friend once that Raze+Adelline's relationship is lesbian colloyd if you squinted really hard but it's became less that over time as I developed them with these qotds. LMAO

[image id: screencapture of bluesky from @/starkissedelezen.bsky.social‬‬ with the tag #/wolqotd #/wolquestion and the question "Pick a precious stone for your WoL"]

Ade: Garnet Raze: Lapis Collet: Pink Sapphire No thoughts only vibes on those. I'm not a gemstone girly

[image id: screencapture of bluesky from @/kelina1080.bsky.social‬ with the question "Not necessarily a wolqotd but a general curious question. Are there any personalize headcanons/canonical changes you’ve given your wol throughout shadowbringers? For me since kalypso’s hair is already white as snow, it started slowly turning black based off how many LW shes defeated."]

Collet's scales started growing over her body at an astounding rate. They now cover a good portion of her body and had gone from bone white Raen scales to bone white with a seafoam green gradient. Her hair also has gotten very faint bright streaks but it's not very visible since she's already blonde

For Adelline, her nails keep growing into claws and Raze is a little more fang-y but that's all they've noticed (and I decided bcs I'm lazy)

[image id: screencapture of bluesky from @/starkissedelezen.bsky.social‬‬ with the tag #/wolqotd #/ffxiv and the question "WOLqotd: Who is your wol’s best friend? It can be either actual npcs of the game or someone else’s wol"]

Adelline: Thancred most of the time. Raze as well. Raze: Alisaie and Adelline Collet: V'kebbe and then Y'shtola of all people

[image id: screencapture of bluesky from @/redlily.bsky.social‬‬‬ with the tag #/wolquestion and the question "Not really a question but show me your wol/oc Dark Knights and let me hear some lore about them! ^-^"]

There's no concrete pictures since its the same body, but my WoL Collet briefly went through a DRK period post-Doma (all of it from arriving in Shirogane to leaving back to Gyr Abania) where it's revealed her "Fray" is actually the fragmented pieces of her memories as Altani Malaguld.

After reconciling with her past, Altani continues to exist as a consciousness that Collet takes upon when she needs to be a dark knight. In story, this could be certain fights or story beats that while I myself don't play the class, Altani would instead be fighting. The final EDW fight for example

is 100% Altani venting her grief and anger about the entire Doma part of the STB questline even if she was only living in the Steppes and thus away from a majority of the fighting. Furthermore, Altani's emotions are way more intense than she was in "life", this is something I took from reading MDZS-

where a soft spoken character became more ferocious in death. Altani, while not being actually dead or a spirit, is still not fully connected to her original being and has basically become an embodiment of all of Collet's fear, anger and other emotions and turned them up to 100.

I 100% just made all that up right now

[image id: screencapture of bluesky from @/scheeles9.bsky.social‬ with the tag #/wolqotd and the question "Since the hiatus is over, its also time to bring back more WoL QotD: What kind of relationship does your WoL/OC have with food? Are they a chef, or rely on others to cook for them? Are they excited about trying new foods, or do they prefer minimalistic dishes like flame cooked meat?"]

Adelline relies on others to cook for her. She's simplistic in what she likes and doesn't like. Raze is a little more adventurous but also doesn't REALLY cook herself. Collet handled a lot of cooking so is REALLY adventurous but avoids bitter things. She'll cook some stuff herself.

[image id: screencapture of bluesky from @/orionbun.bsky.social‬ with the tag #/wolquestion #/wolqotd and the question "Do your WoL trust others easily?"]

Ade: No Raze: Yes but also no but also yes Collet: Very much so

[image id: screencapture of bluesky from @/rikaxiv.bsky.social‬ with the tag #/wolquestion #/wolqotd and the question "What is your wol(oc's) creative outlet?"]

Ade: Potion making Raze: Drawing, usually schematics for weapons Collet: Singing and cooking

[image id: screencapture of bluesky from @/la-scree.bsky.social‬ with the tag #/ffxiv #/wolqotd and the question "Hey #ffxiv folks, how's it going? Time for a #wolqotd (also applies to non WoLs too!):

We've all played around with canon or in my case, smashing it with a hammer to suit what we like. So my question is this: what's something YOU changed in your OC's story different from in game?"]

Collet: Tales of Symphonia exists as a storybook and Fray is her forgotten life as Altani Malaguld rather than Collet Brunel.

Raze and Adelline: They've been travelling together since the start, the only separation being SHB. Who's the WoL depends on factors I don't have spelled out bcs I'm not actively writing out their stories. Adelline's sibling Vynya is also part of the travelling crew.

For all 3: the storyline takes place over the irl 11 years it took to get to this point (7.0/Dawntrail). Collet started the game at 16, she's now 27 for example.

[image id: screencapture of bluesky from @/soaringminuet.etheirys.social‬ with the tag #/wolqotd and the question "Question time! What injuries was your wol suffering from at the end of Endwalker?"]

Collet had a couple of scrapes since she's a dancer aka long distance fighter but once the fighting got closer, she got a couple of bruises and cracked knuckles (Fray/Altani's fault).

Raze was mostly exhaustion. She had a couple bruises but overall mostly ok!

Ade was covered in scrapes, cuts, bruises and other injuries. She really put her all into that fight and it was VERY personal and full of venom. (you do not threaten post-SHB Adelline's family or loved ones and live)

[image id: screencapture of bluesky from @/orionbun.etheirys.social‬ with the tag #/wolqotd #/wolquestion and the question "Do your WoL wake their partner after a nightmare?"]

All 3 of them have signed blood pacts (not seriously) especially after EDW with their S/Os to wake each other up after nightmares. ESPECIALLY Collet. He was not joking. So maybe Collet and Raha have a blood pact... Raze will wake Adelline up. Adelline's a little more hesitant.

[image id: screencapture of bluesky from @/rikaxiv.etheirys.social‬ with the tag #/wolqotd #/wolquestion and the question "What is your wol(oc)'s confidence like?"]

Raze: like negative confidence Collet: A bit, it's gotten steadier post-stb/DRK quests now that Altani's been remembered Adelline: oozes it (not on bsky addition: cringe LOL)

[image id: screencapture of bluesky from @/soaringminuet.etheirys.social‬ with the tag #/wolqotd and the question "Okay, I have a question for the XIV side of this lovely app. Does you wol/oc have any scars? If so, did they get them? How do they feel about them?"]

Adelline has a lot as a frontline fighter. So she's gathered a lot of scars on just about every space that could be hit by a blade or projectile so they're mostly small. She's fine with them. Raze has a few on her hands but they were mostly from training mishaps or smithing mishaps. She's... ok

Collet doesn't have as many as she probably thinks she should. After the events of SHB, she grew a LOT of scales and thus a lot of scars from working on the Steppes or early Rogue training are covered by new scales. She's mostly over it but she feels its another thing about her past being erased

[4jimin]

for you

pairing: jeon jungkook and park jimin; jikook genre: fluff, canon universe, inspired by jikook's cover of we don't talk anymore (lmao) a/n: hello, it's ur non au #1 enthusiast!! im here again bc, truly, how couldn't i when jikook can't stop spoiling the shit out of us lmao (we're so blessed) anyway special thanks to my baby angel meariie aka @c-cygnus for reading this beforehand and hyping the hell out of me, i lov u!! i hope y'all enjoy <3 summary: Jimin is insecure, but Jungkook is more than willing to convince the boy to record a cover with him. crossposted on ao3

“Jungkook, no. I already said I'm going to do a dance cover! Jesus…” Jimin emphasizes for probably the 10th time. Not that it was anyhow useful, Jeon Jungkook had practice on being the embodiment of stubbornness after living years with six guys way too soft for him.

“Hyung, please, I'm begging you!” The younger pulls out his best shinning (read: imploring) eyes, because he knows how to play dirty. However, Jimin doesn’t spare him a glance. He is aware of how big of a traitor his heart is – he has experienced one too many times in which a quick look at Jungkook's stupidly adorable face made him crumble instantly. 

“No.” he repeats, turning away and focusing harder on his phone's screen. As if it'd be that easy.

Jungkook clings on his arm, pulling him closer and burying his face on the back of his neck. Jimin takes a moment to close his eyes and breath as deeply as he can, his stomach already showing the symptoms of Jeon Jungkook's virus on his system.

“But hyung…” he whines.

“Jungkook-ah, please.” Jimin turns around, holding the boy's shoulder so he can't look away. He might give in, if he does. “I don’t want to.”

Jungkook stares at him, before taking a step back away from his hold – a hurt frown starting to mold on his features.

“Why not?” he asks, genuinely confused and Jimin wants nothing more than to punch himself on the face, because he knows how the younger is going to react if he shares the real reason with him – and he is so not on the mood for drama and psychological advice on self steem.

“I just don’t.” he lies and swifts his gaze, Jungkook's eyes piercing through him and making his throat kind of tighten in a way he doesn’t really enjoy. “Ask Tae or Jin-hyung, I'm sure they'll be happy to help.”

Jimin waits for a response, but when the only thing welcoming him is the deafening silence of the hotel room, he spins on his heels prepared to leave, bitting back the disappointment tasting bitter on his tongue.

“Why can’t you understand?!” Jungkook snorts in frustration behind him. When Jimin looks back, the boy has a hand holding onto his bangs and parted lips seeming to try and find the right words to say what he desires to. Their eyes cross and Jungkook's hand fall by his side, cheeks flushing. “I want to do it with you.”

Jimin almost doesn’t hear the end of the setence above the loud stomping of his heart resounding on his ears. He can feel all the blood rushing out of his face, even though he is sure his heart is doing a pretty good job pumping it into his veins.

How is he supposed to say no to that? It's so fucking unfair he wants to shove his face onto a pillow and scream.

“Please?” Jungkook silently begs, intensely staring back at him. Jimin breaks the visual contact before his cardiac pace drives him to explosion.

“My voice sucks.” He finally lets out, gulping down the lump on his throat. “And so does my english. It's going to be ridiculous, everyone’s going to laugh at me.”

Jimin doesn’t find the courage to look Jungkook in the eyes – not even when he scoots closer and grabs his shoulder with one hand, the other being given the task of carefully holding his chin and moving his face until it's right in front of Jungkook's.

“Look at me…” the younger pleads when Jimin still refuses to interlock their gazes, bitting on his bottom lip slightly and staring at Jungkook’s cheek. Jungkook uses his thumb to caress the skin in the front part of his chin, the edge of his finger faintly reaching the flesh of Jimin's mouth. However, the boy is still reluctant to look back at him, something between embarrassment and self humiliation catching him in the middle of a internal fight he tries to avoid every single day. So he closes his eyes instead, solemnly focusing on Jungkook's tender touch and trying to stop the twisting of his stomach from caging his breath into his lungs.

It shows to be an impossible mission, when the next thing Jimin feels is Jungkook's lips pressed against his cheek, which instantly burn at the touch. He frowns, ready to ask what in the world is he doing, but Jungkook also kisses the frown away from his forehead and it's being kind of pretty hard for Jimin not to melt. His chest is rosing up and down lightly and as soon as Jungkook's soft mouth reachs the bridge of his nose, Jimin has already forgotten every single worry in the back of his mind.

He only acknowledge his hands clutching Jungkook's t-shirt, when the younger's lips brushes over a sensitive spot on his jawline and he pulls him closer by tugging at the cloth. He feels Jungkook giggling and his cheeks heat up so hard they tingle warmly. The air around him is simultaneously hot and cold, and it makes his nape hair bristle just the slightest.

“How can you say that…” Jungkook's voice finally surges in between the kisses he places over Jimin's eyes. Both of them pretend there's not insanely racing hearts inside their chests trying to knock down their ribcages to reach one another. “I feel so offended right now.” Jungkook pulls back and Jimin somehow finds the strength to open his eyes. “How dare you insult my favorite voice in the world?”

Jimin has to try really hard to keep on standing, since it seems his legs decided to retire from their labor of being legs and are currently trying a part-time job on being jelly.

“Liar.” His voice fails and he hates it. Hates how weak and exposed Jungkook is able to make him feel in a flashing light.

“You're the only liar here.” The younger mutters, sliding his hand to the back of Jimin's neck so he can run his fingers through the smaller's hair. They stare at each other for what it seems to be an eternity, but it's really just a few seconds. “Sing with me.” Jungkook breaths out, and it's only when he realizes how close they actually are. It makes him feel funny inside. It's nerve-wrackingly funny – the way it seems his stomach is playing drum against his belly. “Please, sing with me.” He repeats lower, and hopes Jimin can’t feel how desperate he is to kick short that annoying distance between them.

Yet, it isn’t him who is taking a step forward and gluing their chests together. He tries to remain calm, tries to hold onto the last string of self control he possesses – although, it's not like Jimin is making it any easier for him.

“Why?” the older whispers and Jungkook almost laughs. The audacity of the little shit.

But he doesn’t. He doesn’t, because he is too busy having a cerebral short circuit at the feeling of the tip of Jimin's nose brushing against his. At the scent of Jimin's sweet perfurme curling around his lungs.

“Because I love your voice.” He is quick to answer, and he almost startles at how rough his voice become. “And…” Jungkook presses his fingers on Jimin's nape nervously and gulps down the actual words he wants to say that are scratching at his throat. “Because I don't want to do it with anyone else.” He hopes it's enough.

Jimin smiles – the sweetest smile Jungkook has ever seen landing on those lips and his heart tugs and hurts.

The smaller boy represses his smile, pursing his lips and narrowing his eyes, looking to the side as he pretends to think hard. It's the cutest thing in the whole world.

“With one condition.” He shows his index finger in front of Jungkook's face before holding on his tshirt again.

Jungkook chuckles, and it sounds so stupidly in love he could be embarrassed if he wasn't, well, stupidly in love.

“And what is that?”

Jimin's smile slowly fades in tune with the reddening of his cheeks.

“Kiss me.” He whispers in the quiet.

And then it seems as if the longest silence settles in between them, hanging in their bated breaths and crawling inside their lungs with freezing fingers. Jungkook stares down at Jimin with mild shock in the surface of his eyes and a slightly gaping mouth, which has Jimin wanting to turn around and run all the way back to his room. He instantly regrets the words and his fingers twitch around the white t-shirt's fabric in nervousness. He opens his mouth to manage out an apology, but is stopped when Jungkook abruptly slides his hands to both sides of his face and catches his bottom lip into his mouth, pressing their lips so hard Jimin has to step backwards two times to keep his balance.

He moans in surprise, grabbing at Jungkook's waist and squeezing the flesh under his fingers in need to feel it's truly real. The younger parts his mouth and swipes his tongue over Jimin's lip, smiling as the other instantly gives in; as he melts over the way Jungkook firmly holds onto his neck and scratches his nails at the base of his nape.

It's insane, how Jimin manages to overwhelm him with a simple kiss, how Jungkook feels so fucking driven to the edge with a mere touch. But he's long past the phase when these questions insistently hovered his mind and held him back from giving in, scared he'd fall too deeply.

Because, truly, how naive of him to ever think there was a way he couldn’t mercilessly fall for Park Jimin.
