Characters who choose death but are forced to live, my beloveds.

Characters who have to come to terms with a second chance at life they never asked for, my darlings.

Characters who move forward on the trembling legs of a newborn fawn through the overwhelming, blinding crush of an existence they fully forsook but which was thrust back upon their unwilling beings, my obsessions.

Heads up GW2 Community, there's one of those "oops I accidentally reported you because someone had your same icon and handle so let me just give you this Totally Legitimate Not A Scam Link to prove you're not a bad meanie" scammers currently making their way through basically the whole community.

The account's @/looolease if you'd like to preemptively block.

playing gw2 is like. did you know many of the main characters have introductory short stories you can read online from ten years ago. did you know they make cute episode trailers for youtube and one of them is a mission impossible parody and one of them is the most heartwrenching scene acting in a video game, but it's. it's on youtube.

did you know there's short stories on their website about caithe finding herself after heartbreak, and zafirah coming to terms with misguided faith, and rytlock finally understanding his inferiority complex and the crutch he's used to overcome it at the expense of people he should've been there for. no it's not in the game it's on their website

there are official interviews with most of their voice actors discussing how they approach the character and the emotion they put into it and how they've developed over a decade

there's an alt goth version of the main sylvari theme that literally everyone swears by and it's really goddamn great but someone has to tell you where it is

don't even get me started on abaddon, one of the most important characters in their world, who isn't in the game and is barely mentioned

man i have. thoughts. about those new sylvari hairstyles

Okay, they might not be my favorite race in the game (that's the asura) but sylvari are such an insane concept for a race in a MMO

Their whole culture has only existed for a few decades, they pop out of pods as fully cooked adults. They're made of plant, but they still somehow have a fully functioning digestive system. They glow in the dark. They were actually created by one of the game's main villains.

They easily could've just made boring-ass elves but no, they went balls to the wall with the sylvari and I love it.

Bonus: the sylvari player character is literally days old when they're thrown into the major conflict of the game.

Around the Festival of the Four Winds got this idea of an inflatable Aurene something, shining iridescently in the sun over the sparkling water, so that's how there came to be a chair concept and these skimmer skins.

I was also thinking a floaty skimmer would be great as a "plushy" alternative for the.. water mount xD
