Mostly a FFXIV blog, but sometimes I talk about writing in RP and do tarot. Ask me about readings for your characters or for fanfic development! DMs open.

T'khet sounds like he's from the San Francisco Bay area.

Yves' is a rugged mishmash of northern English dialects that kind of settle somewhere near Manchester. Lace has a Transatlantic accent (think movies from the 40s) Onghul's is hard to describe. Imagine RP but very deliberately and crisply annunciated like someone's *forcing* themselves into RP.

It was so much fun because we had people come in with BONKERS character concepts and as long as they were being cool with everyone we just rolled with it. We even had our own WoL for a while.

I miss my old bar because it got so much Lore over the years. It was just a hole in the wall relatively lore appropriate tavern, but for some reason we were a hub for cyborgs. We had someone RPing Hatsune Miku as a regular. One time Yves tricked a fae by serving it booze on the house.

And he wouldn't have felt bad about it either. I think it'd be kind of a "Now -that- was a good time that I'll remember. Thank you for existing while you did."

(FFXI manages to make this worse because there it's not just a prejudice but literally believed to be Ordained By God that they are lesser creatures until some obscure lore two expansions later reveals otherwise.)

Especially because there are groups of people that the game literally calls "beast tribes" that for the longest time they thought were subhuman! Like wtf, why would you replicate that prejudice against other "Spoken"?

Anyway, T'khet won't make a scene out of it like Onghul will because T'khet is somehow more terrified of conflict than even he is, but he'll still think you're creepy and weird and probably avoid you.

Honestly referring to other races by "the animals they look like" always skeeves me OOC as well as it reeks of "white people being weird about racism."

Ishgard's Least Wanted @eevswah.bsky.social · 22h
I answered this before but I think it bears repeating that this is the one thing that will get Onghul to chew you out. He is not a "lizard." The fact that he has horns and scales and a tail is irrelevant. He believes referring to him as an animal is highly offensive (as it would be irl!)

Ah, I see. I know I've made the mistake of being overwhelmed with the number of headmates in a system and asking to use a single name which...wasn't taken well. That's part of why I'm asking this question.

(Also I know this is exhausting to read for many of y'all because this is like. Human Interaction 101. But given the trouble this community has with its treatment of BIPOC, maybe some things DO need to be spelled out.)
010
Ishgard's Least Wanted @eevswah.bsky.social · 12/10/2026
I don't write this post because I believe BIPOC are special cases that need outside study like a mystical beast. I write it because I genuinely believe that most white people don't -want- to cause harm, but we don't know -how- to avoid it. This is for those that want to do better but don't know how.

Ishgard's Least Wanted @eevswah.bsky.social · 12/10/2026
And finally, ASK CLARIFYING QUESTIONS -AFTER- YOU CARRY OUT MODERATION. Your primary concern is making your Black and POC friends feel safe. If you wish to correct your blind spots, ask politely for explanation afterward and respect that they may be too tired to give it. Racism is exhausting.
110
Ishgard's Least Wanted @eevswah.bsky.social · 12/10/2026
On that topic, TREAT REPORTS -WITH- BIAS. Your default response to any complaint of racism is to take the side of the person making it because you DON'T know what it looks like. They don't want special privilege; they just want to feel like equal and safe members of the community.
110
Ishgard's Least Wanted @eevswah.bsky.social · 12/10/2026
The second is to RECOGNIZE YOUR BLIND SPOTS. As a white person, there are simply things you can never know about the BIPOC experience simply because you will never encounter these things. No amount of theory will help you understand. Recognize and accept this. It doesn't make you a bad person.
110
Ishgard's Least Wanted @eevswah.bsky.social · 12/10/2026
The most important thing is to TAKE REPORTS AS GRACE, NOT CRITICISM. Black people bringing these up are doing you a FAVOR. They could very easily just disappear from your life, but them bringing it up means they hold some level of respect or trust that you'll understand. Don't betray that.

Ishgard's Least Wanted @eevswah.bsky.social · 12/10/2026
In light of the recent RPHub drama, I'd like to go over some ways we white people actually can support POC, especially Black, members of our community. Black or POC members, feel free to provide ways I missed or corrections to anything I say. I know I have my own biases.

Ishgard's Least Wanted @eevswah.bsky.social · 12/10/2026
I feel like it'd also give y'all a lot more practice dealing with singleton cohabitants too. Y'all have that practice organizing labor and cooperating in a shared space that most don't get.

Ishgard's Least Wanted @eevswah.bsky.social · 12/10/2026
Follow up: is there a polite way to ask who is fronting if you know you're speaking to a system?
130
Ishgard's Least Wanted @eevswah.bsky.social · 12/10/2026
Plural friends -- this is a question I've been sitting on for a while. How do y'all like being addressed? Is there a collective "name" y'all use or is it based on whoever is fronting at the time? (I know this will vary based on each system, but I'm curious about perspectives)

It definitely seems like a more platonically intimate form of "roommates" when you put it this way.

It's one thing if we volunteer that and I think it's always okay to disclose if we want to, but I also fully support just. Not speculating about that if it's never volunteered. Could be a kink, could be a thought experiment, could be a narrative or compositional choice.

That post going around of "Creator of __ has a weird fetish," I get it, but I also agree with Angel that speculating about an artist's sexual proclivities (including their possible trauma) is sexual harassment of a real person.

Persi's like the only person who Yves smacked with something within 15 minutes of meeting him. 10/10, would have that first impression again.

It depends on what "likeable" means. Yves is someone who's kind, but not nice. He's been a very polarizing figure; people either adore him or they despise him.

Ishgard's Least Wanted @eevswah.bsky.social · 09/10/2026
T'khet on the other hand is on a quest to obtain a million dads apparently because everyone he encounters who's older than him wants to adopt him and keep him safe

Ishgard's Least Wanted @eevswah.bsky.social · 09/10/2026
Honestly Yves would be more fond of a maternal figure stepping up than a paternal one, especially if that paternal figure would have rich privilege. He grew up yearning for the love of mothers around him and cursing the faceless father who abandoned him. Any father figure is a target for that ire.

Absolutely not. To him, Sharlayan is a hub of secrets and lies that is secretly running the world and would not want to be indoctrinated. (He is 100% wrong and a conspiracy theorist about this) He believes that higher education is a waste of time anyway.

#wolqotd What are some inconsistencies between your character's actions and their beliefs? In what ways are they hypocritical?

It's why when he was in charge of things he was painfully autocratic despite his anarchist views. He's learn to temper that part of himself, but there's still a voice in his ear telling him not only that he could do better, but that he -deserves- to be the one in charge.

Ishgard's Least Wanted @eevswah.bsky.social · 09/10/2026
I think a lot of it comes from the lack of acknowledgement or care he had as a child. His caretakers largely either ignored him or beat him when he did something wrong. He was never praised for doing something right and was always treated like he was just in the way.

In short, there's a dark part of him that he fights tooth and nail that wants to be this guy.

He wants power over his fate. He wants to feel the blood on his hands and not care whose it is. He wants to stand triumphant over his foes and his trials and, for once, not be just a cog in a machine for others' glory but the master of his own fate.
