some old art of a new guardian i've been thinking about again

[starlightsuncrow]

A statue admist the vegetation, moss and flowers and grass growing on him as time passed, too much time. Crow couldn't do anything else than just cradling Momo's face and try one last thing

Something I worked on and might continue? Started as a late night doodle but I do like how it turned out even tho it's super rough. Thanks for watching! <3 My Guild Wars 2 art is sponsored by ArenaNet!

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.

once again i'm reminded about how much i love caithe and braham as characters. both just start off as characters with a weight-of-the-world responsibilities where they feel like they have to handle everything, fix everything going wrong around them, and be in charge of the well-being of others. only to have all that pressure crack them after the weight of it all, and they start making brash and reckless and self-sabotaging decisions. it takes a while, and a lot of work but they finally let go of the vice grip they have on what they're doing and realize they're hurting themselves and others and don't want to do that anymore. they're doing it scared! and they're letting you help them! which is a big deal and very hard for people who are use to doing things alone. i'm so proud of them and how far they've grown. i always love seeing them still come back in story when they can, and checking up with them and what they're up to now. it's taken them years to get where they are now, and i hope we get to have them for many many more years.

Kudo

The Commander

Kudu's son and a former Inquest nepo baby (though not by his own choice), Kudo is Tyria's most anxious and guilt-ridden little guy. He is grappling with (and losing) being the heir to two conflicting legacies; those of his Overseer father and his prolific grandfather, Snaff. He is constantly seeking absolution for, seemingly, being himself and not a 1:1 of his grandfather.

Lucasta

The LuLieutenant

Formerly Flame, and then formerly Iron, Lu ""dropped out"" of (ran away from) the fahrar as a teenager due to her self-labeled uselessness and eked out a living in Rata Sum. She is a skilled, if unorthodox artificer that specializes in enchantments and inscribing. Would rather die than be a burden.

been playing a guildwar lately so here's my glow-in-the-dark necromancer

[bioluminescent-obscurity]

scion and sylvari champion

the commander was the bright-eyed child of a dragon minion, raised to defeat the elder dragons. they are one of hundreds of their kind, never intended to be more than mindless thralls. mordremoth is their mother’s creator, but mordremoth feels no affinity for the sylvari. it tears their minds apart and repurposes them as it sees fit. the commander retaliates, tearing it apart from within. all the way until the bitter end, mordremoth refuses to acknowledge its fate at the hands of the child of its child. 

aurene was the bright-eyed child of a dragon minion, raised to defeat the elder dragons. she is the only surviving one of her kind. kralkatorrik is her mother’s creator, and kralkatorrik recognises her. he sees her potential. as kralkatorrik is being torn apart from within, he talks calmly with her. sympathises with her. asks gently for an end to his suffering.

as kralkatorrik is dying, he says to aurene: 

“Child of my child. I only hope you never have to kill what you love.”

after finally leaving behind the trauma of the maguuma campaign, just to be shown how gently a meeting with one’s elder dragon creator can be resolved…  i feel like this would utterly break the commander’s heart. 

the commander never receive the closure that the scion did, but the scion will never know her own siblings. at the very least, they have each other.
