He joined the Flames, mostly to help Pippin (and make Lolorito extra nervous), and so Nanamo knows she's one linkpearl call away from some serious pest control.

Found out that haters got a BOGO discount on hands, and he was handing out free samples.

Both are FFXIV. The end of The Vault, or the last zone in Endwalker.

We're getting at least one more Fantasia with Evercold and things are gonna be WILD for a while. Expect Smurfs and Shreks at a minimum.

##ffxiv It is hot af at work and I am miserable. Tell me something cool about your WoL! Anything! No matter how small or silly. Something that you enjoy about your WoL. Lay it on me. (No NSFW please, tho.)

On patrol in Western Coerthas. He got caught in the cataclysmic blizzard spawned by the aetheric shift, cut off completely from his unit, and blindly made his way south towards Mor Dhona. By the time him and his 'bo had recovered, the gates were closed and he was cut off from everything.

Oh yeah. I always say that Shadowbringers is more consistently good, but when Endwalker is on, it is *on*.

Jon's former Ishgardian light cav turned adventurer. He's used to life on the road in the shittiest conditions around. Doesn't mean he likes it, though. He'd much rather have an actual room with an actual bed and meals that he doesn't have to leave soaking in coffee for hours and pick bugs out of.

Yup. We have hit Content Drought (tm) and now they're dragging out a ton of repeatable events to keep the folks that stay subbed something to do.

You voted for a clown and you're surprised that he brought the while circus with him?

#WoLqotd Does your WoL/OC smoke? And if so, what? Packs of black market Garlean unfiltereds? Limsan cigars liberated from parts unknown (and fiercely denied)? Homemade clay pipes packed with home grown herbs? Or maybe something a little stronger from Yanxia or Gridania?

Jon has a Fat Cat named Dingus. She's fluffy and soft and an absolute angel. But there is nothing between those ears but dryer lint.

I always describe the Prae speech as "Nero's ex-boyfriend crashed his workplace with his asshole friend and the first thing his boss did was offer them both jobs. Of course he's bent out of shape about it."

He fights because they won't validate his chocobo parking without doing so.

Purely functional. He's an elezen and his primary glam has a big hat, because sunburn on your ears sucks so very, very much.

Don't forget that you can do nothing about the poor Duskwight bastard outside the Lancer's Guild. But it's fine. Nevermind that they can move around NPCs at will and that guy's been getting shaken down for a decade. Its load bearing racism.

Jon started as a very generic viera with a name i got from mashing the name generator. Zero backstory, zero vibes, I did not click with her at all. Then somewhere between late Heavensward and early Stormblood, I used a fantasia, bought a name change and now my WoL is someone I am much happier with.

He thought they had a good relationship, until he wanted to enlist to ease some of the financial burden on her. That was the ugliest fight he's ever been in, and he enlisted despite her protests. It was the last time he saw her alive. (She actually IS still alive, but both think the other isn't.)

jolinar.bsky.social @jolinar.bsky.social · 13/09/2026
Ishgard. He's got a house there that only a handful of people know about, and its his place to fall back to when things get to be too much. (The people who know where Jon lives? Edmont, Tataru, and his staff. That's it.)

jolinar.bsky.social @jolinar.bsky.social · 12/09/2026
Yes. Greystone growing up in Ishgard. For a while he'd start swinging at anyone that tried giving him a hard time.
010
jolinar.bsky.social @jolinar.bsky.social · 12/09/2026
Jon's a Greystone, so he's essentially an only child. He thinks there's at least one half-sibling out there, but he's in no hurry to find them. He tries not to think about them, he's got too much other stuff to worry about, but he does vaguely resent them. Too much time being a 'have not' not to.

Oh my god. I did not know Soken wrote THAT SONG for Nanashi no Game. What the actual fuck. That song is so good, too! It gets so unhinged as the game progresses.

They have that, or do you mean something other than the Unending Journey, or the New Game+ option?

If you New Game+ it, its just the MSQ, and you've got a couple of months until Evercold drops!

Judging by the amount of fishing bait in his bag? No. Can he get his damn chocobo to stop trying to eat them because they're so colorful and surely they have to be delicious, right? Also no.

jolinar.bsky.social @jolinar.bsky.social · 05/09/2026
When Haurcefant fell, the *polite* version is what happened in game. What really happened is that Jon wouldn't leave. He was willing to fight everyone from the Inquisitiors to Aymeric, in his refusal to leave Haurcefant. His death was Jon's fault and Jon would be damned if he abandoned him.

jolinar.bsky.social @jolinar.bsky.social · 04/09/2026
The Ascian rejoinings brought death and destruction to whole worlds full of living people and vibrant cultures. Fuck 'em. Was it tragic that it happened? Yes, absolutely. Does it justify anything? Absolutely the fuck not. There's a safe way to let the rejoinings happen. We just need to find it.

Fishing. And swearing up a storm as he did so.

I thin the emotes don't help any. Lala emotes seem very overexaggerated compared to an elezen or a roe doing the same emotes.

jolinar.bsky.social @jolinar.bsky.social · 02/09/2026
Jon would have been a freelance adventurer in Gridania, and gotten himself in enough trouble that he would have been 'politely' encouraged to leave. And then he would have headed home, closed gates or no. And would have ended up as one of the revolutionaries storming the Vault to liberate Aymeric.

jolinar.bsky.social @jolinar.bsky.social · 02/09/2026
Mildly embarrassed, mostly put of a desire to not get recognized and asked what "really happened".
000
jolinar.bsky.social @jolinar.bsky.social · 01/09/2026
Jon would have been a freelance adventurer in Gridania, headhunted into the Crystal Braves (either that or go to jail for picking fights with the Wailers), and either sidelined or killed during the leadup to the Banquet. Gridania can burn for all Jon cares, but their actions put ISHGARD at stake.

jolinar.bsky.social @jolinar.bsky.social · 31/08/2026
Jon was doing a bit of adventuring work while he was waiting for his chocobo to clear quarantine, and debating between heading back to Ishgard, even if the gates were closed, and trying to stick it out in this racist af city. (Gridania hits different if you're a duskwight.)

Right? Its the Elezen Curse. You are either the most majestic, most elegant creature of Etherys... Or you're a giraffe with huge 'socks and sandals' energy. Zero middle ground.

jolinar.bsky.social @jolinar.bsky.social · 30/08/2026
That he fell for Haurcefant as hard as Haurce fell for him, and that Jon never got to tell him. "After we clear our names. After the War. After we rescued Aymeric from his own idealistic nature." Always an 'after'.

jolinar.bsky.social @jolinar.bsky.social · 30/08/2026
Numbers, I'd guess. They mention having a group staying back to kill the ones that were tempered, iirc.

Yeah. My go-to is "Its like the first season of a TV show. There's some pain points and the characterization gets rough, but you can see where its going and it all pays off later."

When I started, it wasn't anything super deep. I wanted 'tall' but not 'big', so roe were right out. I looked at male au ra, but the Crash Bandicoot run was a deal breaker. Which left me with Elezen.

First: Apologize for kicking Alphinaud in the face on reflex to get him away, in case Zenos tried anything else. Second: Make sure everyone else is okay. Third: Find someplace quiet, knock back a shot of silencing potion, and quietly fall apart somewhere out of sight.
