This video is always relevant.

Extra relevancy: they’re making a “laughing” variant of the masters of the universe classics prince Adam figure which comes in a special packaging which has a sparkly rainbow background inside it

This was one of the promotional pictures for the variant too.

#LMFAO this is pretty amazing

Don’t quote me on this but it’s good to just step back from social media for a bit and just appreciate yourself without projecting an image and letting people be voyeurs. It’s great how we are connected and I think there’s a million positive things about it, but I also think it puts us in a position to compare ourselves and our work to others. Don’t feel like you’re missing out or like you’re not enough. You are enough, your work is you and it’s deeply personal. You deserve some peace from those feelings and some space to figure it out without negative interference

By the moons’ glow, listen.

Beside the river, listen.

Holding those you love, listen

To the cries of the dying,

To the whisper of the wind over the silent dead,

To the song my broken heart will ever sing

Of the story of the Tree of the World

And the death of all the dreams

It once cradled in its mighty boughs.

The Memorial of Flames, or “Falo’shanah” in Darnassian, is a discreet IC gathering made to commemorate the 1st anniversary of the War of the Thorns and Burning of Teldrassil, and all those who perished or went missing amidst the chaos.

Please note that while this is an Alliance-leaning and pro-kaldorei event, neutral characters on either faction that can respect this alignment are welcome and encouraged to attend. If your character is prone to assaulting Horde races on sight, or aligns strongly with the Horde/Sylvanas Windrunner, here is our official warning to you: this is NOT an RP event for them.

Disclaimer: In-character (IC) the event will be protected by Cenarion Guardians (NPCs) with specific instructions to remove violent or inflammatory characters from the memorial service. Furthermore, we will not tolerate any level of OOC violence/harassment from either faction during this event.

Event Information

Date & Time: Saturday, August 3rd at 6:00pm (server time) on WrA Attendees: Alliance-leaning & Neutral characters Hosts: (A) @shaureyne, @priestess-nightfury, Elliistra; (H) Zatiya, @shamanofthewilds Starting Location: Lor'danel Outskirts, Old Darkshore Coordinates: (55, 22), Non-warfront zone, War Mode OFF Shareable Forum Link: tinyurl.com/MemorialOfFlames

In order to phase into Old Darkshore from Warfront Darkshore for level 110+ players, find and speak with Zidormi just south of Lor'danel at 48, 24.

Although we are hosting the event in Old Darkshore due to gameplay limitations and the desire for player inclusivity, we are effectively treating the RP as being held in present day Darkshore, post-Burning and mid-warfront. As a result, Inky Black Potions will be essential for the immersion of all participants.

Event hosts will have Inky Black Potions and Elixirs of Tongues on hand to give out to both Alliance and Horde players; we strongly encourage all attendees to come prepared with their own stock of both, as they are vital to immersion and being able to comprehend the opposite faction.

We also strongly recommend that all attendees download the Cross RP addon for this event! It reminds you when to refresh your Elixir of Tongues, and allows you to view TRP profiles of the opposite faction, among other helpful features.

Event Schedule

6:15PM: 🕯️ Circle of Remembrance 🕯️ To begin the memorial, event hosts will invite attendees to step forth if they wish, to share their feelings and experiences regarding the War of the Thorns and Burning of Teldrassil in the form of short speeches, songs, prayers, blessings, and other methods of emotional healing.

Prior to the event, attendees can sign-up in advance to make presentations on a first come, first serve basis! Please post on the official forum thread if you are interested, or contact Shaureyne in-game. Presentations are to be no more than 8 minutes in length so everyone can fit into the schedule.

7:30PM: 🍶 Spiritual Offerings 🍶 This memorial is not only for the sake of easing the attendees’ hearts; it is to soothe the spirits of those that were taken from them. They require coaxing to embrace the living world, and so attendees are given time to make their own spiritual offerings to these dearly departed souls.

Examples of offerings to bring include (but are not limited to) local flora, blessed rice cakes, pine nut bread, amphorae, ceremonial weapons, candles, owl figurines, charms, and personal objects.

8:00PM: 🌬️ Embrace of the Fallen 🌬️ As night falls and the veil between life and death thins, the spirits of the fallen are welcomed back to the living world for a brief time. In unison with these spirits, the attendees will perform a ritual to earn their blessing, and petition Elune for a precious gift.

Attendees are encouraged to obtain a ghostly battle pet in advance for this activity! Examples include (but are not limited to) [Nordrassil Wisp], [Hyjal Wisp], [Spirit of Summer], [Wicked Soul], [Tiny Apparition], and [Lost of Lordaeron].

8:30PM: 🔮 Falo’nor 🔮 Elune has heard us out. After receiving Her gift, when the spirits return to the heavens once more, the attendees make a final procession to Lor’danel beach to herald a new tradition of hope, light, and love.

This final activity will involve the use of [Elune Stones]! Event hosts will have many Elune Stones on hand that they pass out to attendees during the “Embrace of the Fallen” activity, but attendees are encouraged to bring their own if they wish. [Elder’s Moonstones] are also an excellent, albeit soulbound, substitute for Elune Stones.

Only one day left!! We look forward to seeing everyone in Darkshore tomorrow evening. 🌲

👕 Fashion Tips 👗

In line with headcanon kaldorei burial traditions, it is common at funerals or memorial events like these for attendees to don dark, earthy colors, symbolizing the return of fallen bodies to the earth so that new things may grow and flourish.

In modern-day Azeroth, the need for discretion and protection is great within its wartorn regions. Those nature-aligned color schemes previously associated with death are now particularly useful for traversing places like Darkshore undetected, blending in with the diluted landscape and appearing inconspicuously neutral to friend and foe alike.

7 depression tips and why they work, from someone who’s been hardcore depressed for two years

hi so im recovering from a really mean depression and there are some things i learned and that i would like to tell you.

1. you need to reappropriate your space and time. depression is lying to you and generally shrinks your living space (aka: you spend your time in bed/behind your computer/in your room…). visit and do something (even if its just scrolling down social media) in each room you have access to. expand your perception and space, you’ll breathe more easily.

2. plan depression outfits. a depression outfit is a comfy one you still can go out in. to me, it’s old ripped jeans and a turtleneck, my old work uniforms, sweaters. dressing up is one of the most important parts of managing depression. first of all, you’ll feel less like pathetic with proper clothes on (nothing worse than staying in your pj all day). secondly, and it’s a crucial point: it allows you to get out to run some errands. imagine you have to go grocery shopping or to the post office. if you’re in your unwashed pajamas you’ve been wearing for three days or more (been there done that) what you have to do is to undress, shower (if you can), and put on real, clean clothes. which is three things. depression messes wih one’s ability to start things, so it’s very likely you’ll drop your errands and just stay at home feeling like shit. but if you’re already wearing clothes, you just have to put on a coat and get out of the house. which is, trust me, 10 times easier than doing the whole dressing up thing.

3. it’s okay if you stay the whole day in bed but force yourself to get up in the morning (anytime before noon) and drink a glass of water/juice. again, depression messes up with your ability to start doing things, but if you concentrate your will to just get up and drink something before going back to bed, i promise you’ll feel less shitty and might actually end up getting up for good since you’ve been through the trouble of getting up. You’ll feel better (and also you need water!)

4. do one (1) physical, material thing that will improve your life conditions per day. aka: washing a single glass, scrubbing the mirror, etc. you’ll feel proud of yourself, and the tidiest your environment, the less shitty your brain will be. plus, again: if you manage to wash a single dish, maybe you’ll find yourself cleaning the whole kitchen without noticing. and thats a good thing. no pressure: just do one single thing. and don’t beat yourself up if you can’t, of course, but try, it’s gonna be better that way.

5. open the window (especially at night, i personally find it very soothing) and just… breathe fresh air, looking at the horizon or closing your eyes, and breathe in and out slowly. it’s great to take fresh air. bonus if you have anxiety/ptsd, honestly. opening the windows is one of the easiest ways i know to stop a panic attack.

6. brush your teeth everyday, even if it’s the only thing you manage to do. i know every depression guide recommends it, but it’s really important. not showering for a few days is okay, you’re not gonna get sick that way. but dental hygiene is capital. not to mention you’ll feel less rotting in the inside if you’re less rotting in the outside. you can use your phone to schedule your teeth brushing of the day! really helps.

7. think about your hobbies and force yourself to do something related to an old hobby of yours. i know it’s no fun. i know you can’t feel anything, so why bother? but really, do bother. do it and eventually as you recover it will be fun again. you haven’t lost your passion, your goals, your motivation. it’s still there, but depression is like a blanket that covers it all. forcing yourself to still act on your hobbies (especially if those are not screen-related: books, gardening, etc.) will help digging through the depression layers to expose your will to live again. trust me on this one. i really thought i was just an apathetic mess, but actually depression was just mean. i believe in you!

and finally: hold tight and it’s gonna be okay! recovery is possible, and it’s gonna arrive sooner than you expect. energy and motivation are good things and they’re still around here waiting for you!

feel free to add your own! you’re all gonna make it i promise.

The advice about dental care is really important. I’ve recovered from my depression, but I still have trouble remembering to brush my teeth because I got out of the habit while I was depressed.
