☽ Welcome ☾

Oh hey! If you're reading this, that means you stumbled across my FFXIV WOL blog, so let me introduce myself! I'm Hecate Starling (heh-kuh-tee for those who are unfamiliar with the pronunciation)

I'm your run-of-the-mill witchy bun found over on Light, Odin who spends the majority of her time doing MSQ, roulettes and an excessive amount of gposing lol. I decided months ago to create a side blog to dump my pics in, in order to avoid clogging up my main and to be able to have a creative outlet for storytelling and art related to the game that has completely stolen my heart over the past year. 🖤

Anywho, in the meantime feel free to come check out the screenies I've lovingly and painstakingly put together and say hello if you'd like!

Some small notes here-

🖤 Anything that may be a spoiler will be tagged with the appropriate "(expansion name) spoilers" tag as long as I remember, so make sure to blacklist any MSQ content you haven't gotten to yet 🖤 This blog is absolutely WCIF friendly, be it vanilla glams or other bits and bobs, so don't hesitate to ask! 🖤 Yes you can absolutely tag me in things as long as they're appropriate and relevant to this blog! I encourage it even. If it's an ask or a prompt, I'll do my best to answer it when I'm able but bear with me (mun is a busy bee irl). 🖤 I prefer to stay away from most NSFW content with the exception of artistic nudity/suggestive work purely out of personal preference. 🖤 This is a safe space and I will absolutely not tolerate any form of racism, transphobia, homophobia, etc. Try it once and you get the boot. 🖤 I'm totally down to collab with others on gposes, so don't be afraid to ask and we'll talk about it! (and as you'd expect, it depends on my comfortability with the subject/person/etc) 🖤 While my WOLs have canon lore, family, partners, etc, I'm not immune to the appeal of wolships, so don't be surprised if you find some alt universe content of them smoochin' certain npcs lol. 🖤 This blog is a continuous work in progress as I've added more ocs and plan on making some official posts/links/whatever for their lore. 🖤 As of late, I've been bouncing back and forth between lore-friendly glams/aesthetics and more modern ones, so expect a mix of that here. Any story-related content ofc stays true to game (or as close as I can get while still keeping my magic lmao) however. 🖤If you get the wild urge to follow my main, you can find that at @opieghoul! (be warned, I admittedly suck at tagging on that specific blog solely bc I'm lazy, so if there's ffxiv spoilers, my bad)

Teensy Break

I really should've made this post a week ago but laziness and good ol' executive function jumped me lol, so: I'm taking a small break for a bit, probably till after the new patch comes out. Nothing major but irl work has me burnt out and I haven't had a whole lot of motivation to jump into ffxiv recently, which tbh was bound to happen eventually after logging in almost daily for over a year. I should be back on soonish though (or hell, probably go back on this whole post and log in later today when I magically get hit with a wave of inspo xD) <3

If you're missing me at all, I've gone back to posting regularly on my main blog and even gave it a shiny new theme (even though no one looks at those anymore ffkdskgd), so you can say hi there if you want lol.

I can't believe these pics are almost a year apart, holy hell I'm gonna cryyyyy! 🥹😭

I plan on making something bigger to celebrate my one year in game anni (because ffxiv has become my everything over the past year and 2 days) but for now, enjoy some before and afters from back when I was working my way through ARR as a sprout 💜

Two gay best friends stew over the concept of sacrifice and letting go. 💛

----------------------------

(What a way to hard launch these two but erm, say hi to my two other WOL children, M'elinoe Ul and Finn Sparrow lol. I'm slowly working out lore and a backstory for them, but these two are essentially ocs I've had for a long time that I decided to formally give a home to in Eorzea and I love them both so muuuuch)

Feo Ul: Well! Look at my precious sapling snoozing her cares away, for once! Dreaming all of those delicious dreams.

Crystal Exarch: Indeed, the three of them appear to be quite comfortable.

Feo Ul: Think we aught to wake them? 👀

Crystal Exarch: *chuckle* No no, let's let them have some peace. Everything else can wait for now.
