Archive @astralarias - Tumblr Blog

it might be obvious that i haven't been as active here anymore, and honestly i'm just not feeling gw2 tumblr as much as i once did, for a variety of reasons. so i think i will be keeping this blog up as an archive, because i have a lot of stuff here i'd like to keep, but moving to a new, fresh blog where i'll mostly be posting about my own characters, and also other games aside from just gw2. just keeping it small and chill and what i want it to be!!

i'll probably still be making gifs and the like because i genuinely enjoy it, but i am taking a step back from the gw2 space here. i've met some wonderful people through this community that i'm very grateful for, and it's been a good source of support over the years, but if i'm being honest participating has lost its charm for me, again for a number of reasons that i won't go into. it was nice while it lasted and i hope you all stay well <3

reblogging just to say I have finally set up aforementioned blog!! it is @skydrifter; you're welcome to follow but keep in mind it isn't a gw2 blog - there will be some gw2, but it's more of a general "video games i like" blog where i will also be posting a lot of my own OCs, both from my head and various media!!

THE ME

that old “you need to relax or the stress will kill you before the thing that’s meant to kill you gets the chance” thing is like genuinely kinda helpful to me when my brain goes prey animal dumb mode and idk how to feel about that

I hate when something has the most delectable lore that just itches your brain perfectly and makes you feel like you’re a hamster about to die a very dramatic death.

But the source material itself either doesn’t go into the lore, or it does but the fandom focuses entirely on other things.

There’s many a time where I finish some media or other with the most 5-star 3-course gourmet meal lore and go online eager for fun speculation and theories and. It doesn’t exist.

#like I love shipping but guys. the imps. the implications.#this was such a point of rage to me with voltron #because the lions are so sick and yet it was like me and maybe 10 others on the outskirts #of the absolute calamity that was the shipping side of that fandom #like dudes. SENTIENT LION MECHS.

I'm so tempted to go for that pet in game again this year cuz I'm 99% sure my description of my dog was like drunk directions

That or I've not seen him in game

dabenport Did you drink the cat april fool's potion and look around in janthir wilds? all the new pets are added there but only visible if you have the potion active

THEY'RE WHAT?! WHERE?! Is it a specific location?!

I looked all across the map, only found one Glen, here is his location.. he isn't golden though his name says he's blonde. You have to drink the Chatoyant elixir. Some pets are inside houses, some are in the fields

commanders-sole-braincell

I have a horrible feeling me putting my dog down as "Glen, blonde" has been misconstrued

That or I need to meet the real Glen Blonde cuz omg a baby <333

#gfhjgfd oh no...glen....

You ever play a game that immediately makes you want to play it again and again?

I'm definitely still learning how to draw but I had to do something after playing Sorry We're Closed It's a phenomenal game <3

A reference to this piece!

#YEAH!!!#eating the colors and textures here #I need to play this game it looks so good #and so is thisss

My controversial game design opinion is that "environmental storytelling" should be actually, tangibly present within the game's environments. Hitting the player with a paragraph of lore every time they click on a random item in their inventory is not environmental storytelling – it's just hiding an epistolary novel in your game's UI.
