imagine an asura playing the contrabass clarinet they'd have to climb a ladder

i'm sorry @dasozelotvonnebenan but this is a typical case of "you can't just hide this in the tags"

we need this in the main body of the post.

#that is a hilarious picture#but also I am sure they would find some hilarious ways to solve that problem#And I'm not talking having a golem hold them up#I'm thinking like having two tiny asura portals at the end of an asura sized clarinet which connect to a separate piece so the length fits#Or a high density clarinet. it's just a regular contrabass clarinet that has been compressed in all three dimension including the contained#air. Players must be very careful not to disturb the containment field or the thing will spontaneously decompress and go flying through the#orchestra.#reverse time dilation device so that the clarinetist appears slowed down and thus the pitch is lowered#Why would they use a ladder when there are way more complicated solutions available#(let it be known that I know little about acoustics and basically nothing about clarinets)#(I'm just trying to be funny)

Ya ever think about the fact theres technically canonical alternate versions of the Commander in Tyria? Like if you pick a charr, a sylvari is still born whom does the first few instances of the story, for each of the races, and theres at least two of them that make it far enough to near rival you in the Pact to do the other two fear based instances?

Someone else watches Tonn die, someone else is tricked by mesmer magic. Theres someone each of the mentors trusts and puts forward to become an order member, you're not the only one at that meeting in Lions Arch. Someone who mourned Eir, their mentor. Someone who's sat at Zojias bedside, ever diligent as they sound out theories.

I wonder what lives they have, do they have children? Do they hold the same rank but lack the power of the title commander? Do they still work with the Pact? Did they fall along the way, one by one? Or have they carved lives into their stories? Happy endings? Local legends of The Valiant, The Slayer, The Hero, The Savant, and the Legionnaire?

Do they know how close they came? Do we make eye contact on a night you come into the room wounded and furious and they feel that strange tug of fate that makes them pray that whatever severed that cord understands how grateful they are. Do they have nightmares about becoming The Commander?

The Void seems to have taken over Canach’s club.

we! need! more! norn! culture!

i want to know how deep their roots are in Tyria! I want to know how far North they lived before Jormag! I want to know the origins of the Spirits of the Wild! I want to know if the North has more magical and terrifying creatures! I want to know if Norns had culture clashes! Civil War! Religion! If they worshipped something before the Spirits, and what happened to them since!

Norns are one of the oldest races in Tyria! They deserve to be expanded upon outside of Svanir and Jormag! They’re more than just their labor!

Musically inclined individuals HATE HER! She's able to get the PERFECT SCORE (almost) every time with one simple trick.

(Explanation in case the photo isn't clear: I cut this small arc from paper, hanged on some strings and taped it to the top of my monitor. Took a few tries to get the shape right. I've been using this for a few years now!)
