I was going to use Thancred as an example but he's probably the most confusing lmao
In the Brambleverse he is currently 37 in Source years but in terms of all his years lived on the Source + First he is 42. To pull a random character who never went to the First, Tataru is currently 26

In the Brambleverse, every expansion is approximately a year, and the NPCs GENERALLY age accordingly, but also some of it is pure vibes. And then there's MSQ time shenanigans which makes it weirder. We keep the twins' ages in line with Yuyuka's, which also requires some muddling
#wolqotd (kinda)
The Encyclopaedia Eorzea books provide ages for NPCs: how do you "treat" this piece of info within your own wol's lore/timeline?
Are they canon? If so at which point in time? Or do you adjust them to your personal timeline? Or perhaps it's all the "1 year time bubble"?

Euphony calling Meraki “sprout”. Their baby niece has grown so tall, wow!! She’s going to do amazing things when she grows up!!
Except for the fact that she ultimately doesn’t get to live a full life and died as a child. Crying into my hands about it.

Thought we were on 5.5 on our Brambleverse replay, turns out we weren't and I had erased the Fourchenault scene and the last solo duty from my mind. It is time to continue Roscoe's crusade against every other dad in XIV :)

thank you!! i might check this out to make a brambleverse bond chart I think that'd be fun (& hopefully less tedious than making it by hand on clip studio) 🥰

Yuyuka waking up on the sofa in the pendants thinking Roscoe is talking to her. Nope. He’s talking to the ghost man only visible to him.
Rolls over and tries not to think too deeply about how she must look equal levels of strange when talking to the elementals. Whatever, man. #Brambleverse

Another thing that accidentally ended up working well for the #Brambleverse: how the DRK and WHM quests bleed into each other, and how DRK tell the story of a man struggling to deal with his grief and anger, taking a young girl under his wing who was let down by the people who should've loved her

Working through 5.5 on the #Brambleverse replay and Yuyuka has met Estinien for the first time. While Alisaie has had enough of this man, Yuyuka found herself bonding with him over their shared hatred of Allagan tech - or any tech, for that matter

It's been 5-6 years since I last played HW (we skipped it in the Brambleverse replay) so I guess everything in between the biggest story beats has become a blur by this point. I genuinely thought we rescued Raubahn later, and that our first dungeon wasn't at level 53

Yuyuka still has to sit next to Kan-E-Senna at alliance meetings to keep up appearances. This leads to Roscoe making stupid faces at her from across the table.

This answer also brought to you by the fact that I still need to completely pin down Roscoe's age - after changing my mind on it at some point when kicking off the Brambleverse canon, and disrupting the timeline to the point I just shoved it under the rug and went "I'll sort that later"

Thinking about lalafell lore. Another thing that accidentally worked so well with the Bramblewoods is that Roscoe is descended from Mhach and Yuyuka from Nym. These were lore decisions we made separately, some from before we start co-writing. One brings shadow, one brings light!!

In music, call and response is a compositional technique, often a succession of two distinct phrases that works like a conversation.

Thinking about Ga Bu asking Yuyuka who she is.
After a moment's contemplation she introduces herself as Alisaie's girlfriend, remarking that she's heard so much about him and she's glad they could finally meet. He’s been very brave for a long time, hasn’t he?
Falls down stairs.

Matoya: “Anyone want some wine while we make ugly oven porxies”
Yuyuka: “Sounds good to me”
Roscoe: “I really don’t approve of you drinking”
Yuyuka: “? You’re not my dad.”

Thinking about the celebration at the end of ShB. I bet Yuyuka only attended briefly before slipping away to the Amaro/Chocobo pen for some quiet sensory time. The crowds excitement was heartwarming but too much for her. Roscoe finds her later and slides her a snack plate. To share. 💚
