Hello! You've found this page, so you've probably seen most of this pinned post before.
This thing exists to separate my writing and general creative shenanigans from my main GW2 blog @violentnornography. As before, interactions come from @pocketgoth, and I'll be rambling about the same characters, probably even more vehemently.
You'll find fics, art, screenshots, asks, headcanons and general oc chatter here. Quite happy to receive in-character asks, if that's your thing.
Character lore and little drabbles I write for fun will be tagged here, my main WIPs and anything M+ rated will be on AO3 only.
This blog will be SFW, any NSFW asks/posts etc will be over on @violentnornography.
If you want me to add a tag to filter content, DM me.
If I reblog AI, let me know. AI is not welcome on this blog.
Fair warning: This blog is new and a complete WIP, so some links in this post may link to my other blog until I sort my life out. Please bear with. TYVM <3
Without further ado, roll call:
Kara Brunhilda Jorgensdottir
Norn, Follower of Wolf, Pact Commander.
Born 1309 AE.
Soulbeast, Chef, Cat Enthusiast.
Other titles involving gods and dragons have also occasionally been mentioned, but she's mostly about the cats.
Might have the best booty in Hoelbrak.
Will beat you up, and apologise after. Proper and dignified, tries desperately to live up to her own legend. Jumps off cliffs for fun. Once killed a forged forerunner and stole its boots just for the flaming surfboard.
Best Friends: Torvi Scorchgear, Rytlock Brimstone and Canach.
Mate: Braham Eirsson. Eventually. If they can stop bickering for five minutes. Canach has a betting pool, if you're interested.
Ship-related posts are here
Warmaster Torvi Scorchgear
Norn, Follower of Bear, Warmaster of the Vigil.
Born 1308 AE.
Engineer, Flamethrower only.
Honorary-turned-full member of the Gear Warband.
Only dates Charr. Kara's childhood friend. Party goblin. Will encourage you to be feral. Knows what you did at the last alemoot, and now so does half of Hoelbrak.
Guest stars in the main fic any time the Vigil shows up, will be mentioned semi-regularly.
Mate: Mangonel Gearstrip. They've been ride or die since they got drunk and stole a tank together, and no, they don't want your opinion, thanks. Hoping to adopt a cub or two when Torvi retires from the Vigil.

Rhianwen
Soundless Sylvari. Pale Reaver.
Born in the Cycle of Night, 1305 AE.
Reaper. Obligate Carnivore. Swamp Witch.
Will safely deliver your baby. Probably won't eat it.
Can craft you a tonic to fix just about anything.
Definitely not undead.
Joined the campaign to Maguuma as a personal favour to Trahearne. After he is captured by Mordremoth, she puts heavy pressure on the Commander to push forward to rescue him, no matter the cost.
Was gifted the remains of Caladbolg for her efforts, though she does not generally wield it.
Yngvar the Aberrant
Norn, Follower of Wolverine.
Yngvar is my brand new child and will get a proper character profile at some point, but for now:
Lives in the Aberrant Forest.
Cannot become the Wolverine at will, but has the weirdest dreams about it.
Boneskinners are friendly towards him, for no apparent reason.
Will feature semi-heavily when my fic gets to the Bjora Marches.
Aaria
Norn, Vindicator, Alliance Stance, Follower of No-one.
Aaria is an old, neglected child of mine I found it in my heart to start developing, so watch this space!
Traditional Norn nomadic lifestyle in the cental Shiverpeaks, Aaria often only returns to Hoelbrak for moots.
Hammer enthusiast, enjoyer of women.
Channels Jormag when they are awake. She is largely unaffected by their persuasion, but doesn't mind the company. Jormag is a hell of a conversationlist, and whilst it irritates them that Aaria is immune to their charms, they do have some lovely chats.
a friend requested braham and garm! hehe :3c. and then we have more cute sylvaris!!! Thank you again <333 so many lovely characters

1) Do they actually love love each other? Has it changed over time?
They say there is a fine line between love and hate, but ka-braham never truly crosses that line. The love is there, and it changes drastically over the years in many ways, and in many ways not at all.
Is it marred with grief? Anger? Jealousy?
Oh abso-fucking-lutely.
It begins as an acquaintance-like bond, a battlefield assist, a love-for-my-fellow-norn sort of love that builds over blood and beer spilled in equal measure.
It grows on his side early on, though it takes him years to see it. A transient crush. A matter of proximity. A matter of denial. It grows on her side more subtly. All of the guild belongs at her side, but Braham? She just doesn't feel quite right without his shield to her left, and her hound on he right. She tells herself it's a Guardian thing, and his devotion is just loyalty, and she appreciates it. Nothing more.
Looking back on the end of HOT/S3, they see it as it was now. Would he have been quite so determined to slay his own dragon and prove himself her equal, if he had not wanted to feel worthy? Would it have felt like abandonment, like she was missing an arm, if she hadn't needed him by her side to work through her grief? It was more complex, of course. It was about pride and culture and carrying on Eir's work, but they had the same goals in that. They should have done that together. And yet, something more pulled them apart.
Even when they know, covered in blood and sand and lich remains, that the love is still there, and always has been, they still push each other away.
But that red string of fate won't break, no matter how much they try to strangle each other with it.
So yes, they love love each other, no matter how much they would rather they didn't.
