goooot a commission done of my main Commander and just HAD to post her!!! this is Sonje, and her attire at the very beginning of the main quest (16) and her design as of End of Dragons (23) forward! hopefully one day i'll be able to commission her other outfits throughout the years! love this lil holosmith to death
the artist is here: please consider checking them out if you like this!
When gw3 comes out, will you recreate your ocs in there?
Yes, even if I need to change some races/classes here and there
Yes, but only if their race is in gw3 (even if they need to change class/theme)
Yes, but only if their class is in gw3 (even if they need to change race)
Yes, but only the ones that can fit the new (old) lore without any major change
No, but I'll create ocs similar to them (ancestors or similar characters)
No, I think I'm going to start fresh and leave my OCs in their world
Other (comment plz, I'm curious!)
Please answer even if you don't have a specific idea in mind/you prefer to wait until more info is public. I'm planning to make a second poll closer to the beta/release of gw3.
Also, comment if you have a crazy time travel story in mind for your ocs :)
Starting to get sick of the people acting like gw3 not having charr or sylvari is the same as anet getting rid of charr and sylvari. It's an entirely different game, they're not taking your toys away they're just giving different ones time in the spotlight
Countess Anise and Canach definitely explored each others' bodies but with her being the prison warden and him being the prisoner it was dubcon with promise of a reduced sentence at best. send tweet.
it's important to me that she genuinely has a soft spot for him and felt like she was going easy on him as his prison warden, misreading his gallows-humor sarcasm as flirtatious remarks and thinking he'd genuinely appreciate being bed by her.
He *hates* her, he hates her so goddamn much and wishes he was being whipped in a prisoner's mine rather than be mocked by her 'sweetness' - and the only reason he lets her bed him is because she carved significant debt off his billet every time so he grit his teeth and let it happen.
She's in hysterics when she finds out he hated her. She thought she was better at reading people than that, and the very thought she twisted his arm into it makes her want to vomit. She's penned dozens of letters of apology that she couldn't finish and instead chucked into the fire.
He's making tracks as far as possible from her the second she's released his billet. He has to train himself to relax once he feels his own silk sheets and feather mattress underneath him. His clenched jaw from those nights turns into a bad habit of grinding his teeth and biting his tongue.
There was nothing romantic about it. Nothing at all.
*gesturing vaguely*
uh. yeah.
thinking about dead dove gw2 but very specifically from the perspective of Tyrians about Super Adventure Box: The Novelization. do you think there's people who like ship Lord Vanquish and the Storm King in like a master/slave ship way. do you think there's people who ship it but are like screaming fighting for the lives claiming it's not problematic actually and that writing it that way is a gross misinterpretation of their canon relationship. do you think there's fans who go on to say none of this is actually canon to the source material and just call it an ooc fanfic or something
and what about Princess Miya. i remember seeing some people unironically say shipping Bowser/Peach is bad bc kidnapping. that same discourse has to exist for Princess Miya right. and people get really really worked up about in Tyria i think. what do you think she's like in the novelization btw

i think another thing people don't really think about Braham is like, i think the fact he is like 18-19 dealing with his mom being violently murdered in front of him that i think almost any Norn would've crashed out at the Jormag news.
"Hey, Braham- you know how Jormag is the ancestral archenemy of your entire race that has inflicted a form of generational trauma onto every single living Norn by breaking your entire race's pride like Bane did to Batman's back? And how you're prophesized to destroy Jormag and we've killed two Elder Dragons? How we have the capability to do this? Well, we've actually decided we're not going to kill Jormag."
like it's not enough Braham is like 18-20 during LWS3 dealing with a traumatic death he also had to kinda process that. i think anyone would crash the fuck out even without their mom's death at that one. if the dialogue wasn't written to be neutral across all races i'm sure a Norn Commander even though accepting it probably would have a LOT of thoughts about it. that alone honestly justified his LWS3 crashout even without Eir's death but WITH it too? the death of his mother and also the Norn's collective trauma and essentially being told "there is absolutely nothing you can do about either. we will lull Jormag to sleep indefinitely and never allow the Norn to claim victory over their archenemy and you will never be able to prove you are worthy of fighting dragons like your mother was." raven's fucking beak.
no matter how bad you are at reading you can all rest assured you will never be as bad as it as @coraldinosaurcollectionus

if there's anything hearing people playing asura commanders is making me think it's that i wish this game had been willing to stop being allergic to different dialogue for different races before ibs
nothing bad it's just that asura also have an identical racial trauma to the norn in that their race's pride and independence was also broken by Primordus the same way Jormag broke the norn but an Asuran Commander has absolutely no point where they can weigh in on this during LWS3
same for Norn Commanders even but still

you ever just like deciding your commander got a fashion change after something significant???
Path of Fire is a huge turning point for Juliette for not only was it when she was forced to confront the reality that her goddess didn't even know she existed, receiving an apology from the voice that had given her guidance for years and possibly a new weapon after Balthazar destroyed her original scythe in their fight. she then kinda forced herself to finish POF's plot then went catatonic for a bit with Petra taking after her before ultimately forcing herself to get up and start fighting for a cause she believed in but not just because she's being told to anymore... i thought it'd be fitting if she startted donning an armor that wasn't the same one she build a reputation as the "Crimson Lion" though, something looking not evil but still a little less knightly, heroic? also ditching a shield or a second sword or greatsword i just really like revenant greatsword
regardless though: no matter how horrific your trauma is, it's important to Stay Silly
She thinks she's talking to Dwayna when her god isn't even in Tyria anymore but she's talking to something 😔
I haven't posted OCs for GW2 in years sooo have a Juliette! Something™ from the Mists she thinks is Dwayna. Still working on all the details but: Commoner background, blessed by Dwayna, regretted never searching for her true parents (then learned the Shining Blade who initially was raising her adopted her from another friend and her current adoptive family is actually the second adoption)
very WIP character but! Making OCs and sharing them is always fun :D Also decided to throw together an early game appearance with a fashion template and imagining her weapon she was bringing into the Battle of Shaemoor was initially just a scythe she 'borrowed' from her family when she received her divine guidance and needed something to bring into battle

here at zhaitandeeznutz we believe in giving people hard truths and the time they need to digest them.
braham is a good character and his depiction of grief is very realistic, so is caithe and her actions are understandable if you take more than five minutes to digest the lore of HoT;
even the worse parts of the gw2 writing is leagues better than a good chunk of AAA games y'all just don't engage with the story on any level beyond complaining on Reddit;
the human-charr wars were messy but the overarching point is it was human genocidal colonization from top to bottom that caused it, from abbadon puppeting the flame legion into making the charr a misogynistic theocracy to gwen thackeray inspiring generations of bloodlust against charr to the point of her being a literal boogeyman in charr mythos;
palawa joko does is gay;
you're not supposed to view the wizards and the astral ward as always morally correct it is in fact a huge part of the text that they will do stupid shitty things and your involvement is sorting through them and keeping them from doing it again, which you would've known if you spent more than five minutes thinking about SoTO and doing something other than oggling peitha without considering her actual character and story impact;
the asura are indeed a deeply racist society while still being targets of deeply ingrained racism by humans and charr, this is not a contradiction this is how a lot of real life societies are across our literal globe, please consider the nuances before I, an asura main and enthusiast, rip your head off.
thank you, fuck you, get off my lawn, there's lemonade in the fridge.
im ngl i put 'palawa joko does is gay' as a way to soften the blow and kinda sluff off over the top criticism of this post, but y'all were very receptive to the serious points I was making wow.
Im not gonna pretend the writing and pacing couldn't have been better, I still am upset all the interesting parts of SoTO was in optional side content and Zojja didn't get the fleshing out she deserved, but there is good writing in it regardless and it's worth analyzing and appreciating!
real talk if you still hate braham you're just really mean-spirited
