Lenebrous and Osathe. Lenebrous is a necromancer belonging to lenalis/hide-nor-hare, and Osathe is an elementalist belonging to me!
Although they belong to each other, romantically speaking.

GW2 Drinking Game, 2016 Edition
Two years ago, I wrote down some drinking games to play with my friends while we fart around in Guild Wars 2. It’s been needing an update for a while. IMPORTANT DISCLAIMER: this isn’t intended to be a How To Play (or How Not To Play) guide, it’s just a list of things I see in the game that make me, personally, want to take a drink.
CHARACTER NAMES:
Drink once for every Bjorn, Bjornsson, Bjornsdottir, or Bjornkin. Twice, if it isn’t a Norn.
Drink once for every “-raven”, “-wolf”, or “Ravenwolf”. Twice if it isn’t a Norn.
Drink once for every “Iron-,” “Blood-”, “Steel-”, “-blade”, “-claw”, “-maw”, “-paw”, or “-fang”. Twice if it isn’t a Charr.
Drink once for every ranger pet Alpine Wolf or Polar Bear named Blizzard, Snow, or Frost. Twice for every unnamed Juvenile Black Moa, because why wouldn’t you name that.
Drink once for every Skyrim or Dragon Age reference.
Drink once for every fantasy novel series reference. Twice, if it’s NOT Tolkien or Game of Thrones.
Drink once for egregious abuse of accent marks. (Twîlíġħt Spärķlě)
Drink twice for every flagrant misspelling in a character or guild name.
Drink three times for every Our Sanctuary guild member whose character name you report.
CHARACTER APPEARANCE:
Drink once for every legendary greatsword. Twice for any other legendary weapon.
Drink once if someone has Celestial Dye and is super proud of it. Twice if they also have white Deviantart wings.
Drink once if someone has Abyss dye and is super proud of it. Twice if they also have the black Deviantart wings, three times if they have the reaper edgelord hood. Finish the drink if they go by a name like Deathwind Crypthowl.
Drink once for rainbow armor dye.
Drink once for matched armor-and-weapon sets.
Drink once for every shirtless Norn.
Drink once for every pure white Charr.
Drink once for every albino asura. Twice, if they also have an afro.
Drink once for every dark-skinned human with white hair.
Drink once for sylvari mushroom heads. Twice if their name is Cordiceps, Korrddicepps, Kordy Sepps, etc.
ROLEPLAY
First off, drink once if you’re not in Divinity’s Reach or the Black Citadel. Twice, if you’re not in a city.
Drink once for every time someone smiles/nods/sighs “a bit”.
Drink once for every “nods softly”.
Drink once for each couple having an intensely private moment in an extremely public place. Twice if there’s a Darknester [DN] involved.
Drink once for every obvious invitation to ERP. (WARNING: not recommended for players of female human/Norn characters.)
Drink once whenever a group of RPers can’t agree on past or present tense. Twice if someone insists on /saying their poses.
Drink once for every misuse of conditional verb tenses (“[Character] would…”)
Drink once if a character is blind. Twice if they can “somehow see without eyes”.
Drink once if someone actually mentions drowning their sorrows.
Drink once if the same person exceeds the pose/say character limit more than three times. Twice if it’s consecutive.
Drink once for disembodied appendages (“the hand resting on his shoulder”, “the eyes behind her veil”).
Drink once for unnecessary epithets (“the young girl”, “the tall Elonian”).
Drink once for every transliterated accent. Twice if the player achieves total incomprehensibility. (N'v'r g'n p’t thet w'ld on d'wn!)
Drink once for every character that thinks “roleplay” means “telling their entire backstory without any prompting.” Drink twice if it’s a Tragic Backstory™.
SPEAKING OF BACKSTORIES. Drink once for orphans. Drink once for every secret society of assassins. Drink twice for long-lost heirs. Drink twice for amnesia. Finish the drink for relatives of Destiny’s Edge.
Drink once for each gladium-and-proud. Twice, if they’re badmouthing the Legions; three times if they’re in the Serrated Blade.
Drink once for [Nightmare Court/Flame Legion/Svanir] and proud. Twice if they’re in a bar. Three times if absolutely no one’s paying attention.
Drink once for bad medical advice. (WARNING: NOT RECOMMENDED IN UNINSTANCED SALMA DISTRICT.)

Drink once for every player having a tantrum at Vinetooth Prime over lack of crowd control/ unacceptable DPS/ n00bs. Drink twice if nobody tried explaining the event’s mechanics beforehand.
Drink once for everyone yelling at Exalted Armor players during Octovine. Twice if they don’t put on some armor themselves and pick up the fucking slack.
Drink once if one lane burns an Octovine early and it resets. Twice if it’s not East. Three times if your map goes ahead and succeeds at the meta-event anyway. Finish your drink and pour another if players are STILL COMPLAINING.
Drink once for every declined squad invitation.
Drink once if someone actually tries to explain the zerg/boss squad mechanics of the blighting towers of Dragon’s Stand before the event starts. Twice if half the zerg runs up the ramp to the boss anyway.
Drink every time you die and have to waypoint back. In fact, add another drink for every time the lane commander wipes and has to waypoint back.
Finish your drink if everyone in Dragon’s Stand gets kicked due to the map population bug.
Drink once for every person selling items in LFG.
Drink once every time you roll your eyes at someone’s character name.
Drink once for every person you report/block. Twice if they’re homophobic, transphobic, or racist. Three times if they get defensive when asked to stop and bleat about free speech, and finish the drink if you get dogpiled for not wanting to see slurs in chat.
Play at home! Tell your friends! Feel free to add your own dungeon, PvP, or WvWvW categories. Or, indeed, anything else.
We must always take sides. Neutrality helps the oppressor, never the victim. Silence encourages the tormentor, never the tormented.
After 87 courageous years on this earth, Holocaust survivor and Nobel Peace Prize laureate Elie Wiesel (September 30, 1928–July 2, 2016) has left us — and left us his timeless, increasingly timely wisdom on our shared responsibility in ending injustice. (via explore-blog)
I call this piece “WvW in a Nutshell.”
So, Boris Johnson tried to suggest that by leaving the EU nothing would really change for Britain. He thought that “British people would still be able to live, travel, study and buy homes on the continent but the same rights would not be automatically extended to EU citizens in the UK, he wrote. Britain would also be freed from sending “a substantial sum of money” to the EU budget, which he said “could” be used for the NHS.”
Brussels basically said “lol fat chance, Boris, you muppet! You think you’re going to get all the perks and no monitoring? Think again, my hamster-headed chum!”
As a sensible UK citizen (which only of us who voted Remain are, let’s be real), this is all so fucking embarrassing.
It’s like the UK is Boris’ date at the world dinner party and he’s had too much to drink. He’s gotten up, booze sloshing everywhere, and he starts loudly talking shit across the table, and we–the UK–are the stone-cold sober designated driver date frantically elbowing him in the side and hissing “Boris! SIT DOWN!” while trying to save face by awkwardly laughing off all the disapproving stares from across the table whilst knowing full well that we’re never going to be invited back to one of these parties ever again.
And then Boris probably abruptly vomits all over Germany, or something…
Happy Pride!
We had a group that walked from Ebonhawke all the way to Rata Sum. Someone said it was the best dressed zerg they’ve ever been in, and I’d agree to that. It was also a really great turnout, we capped I think somewhere up to 3-5 maps and were accompanied by several game devs. Very cool.
I went with two of my guildies: @naughtili (one of our leaders) and @hide-nor-hare (my girlfriend). :)
More pictures from GW2 Pride. It was a lot of fun and a genuinely a really good time after such a rough real world week. I’m sad that @shadowstrikes couldn’t join us, but it was really late here in the UK and sleep is a thing that must happen on a Sunday night. He was still there in spirit though! <3

All you fucking Leave voters who are now "shocked" and "worried," this one's for you, you piss ignorant, short-sighted, flippant dumbfucks.

“Angels” block the Westboro Baptist Church from protesting Orlando victim’s funeral
When a handful of Westboro Baptist Church members showed up Saturday at the funeral of Orlando shooting victim Christopher Leinonen, counterprotesters donning large, white angel wings were there to shield mourners. Members of the Orlando Shakespeare Theater put together the wings as a symbolic but also literal screen between the WBC and funeral attendees. An Orlando Police tweet later proved the efforts to stop the WBC worked.
Hey, look, here’s tumblr’s historical amnesia in practice.
Yes, this is a lovely direct action gesture of counter-protest. I’m not taking anything away from it. BUT IT WAS NOT ORLANDO’S SHAKESPEARE THEATER THAT CAME UP WITH IT.
You know where it was done before them? It was done in Laramie, Wyoming.
To counter the Westboro Baptist Church when they tried to protest the funeral of Matt Shepherd.
(source: http://laramieinsideout.com/ Watch the documentary, learn some history.)
It feels like nobody cares about remembering anymore, nobody values citationality. Oh, sure, if you trace the web article links back, you might notice that the original article in American Theater refers to Romaine Patterson’s Angel Wings Action back in 1999 (the linked site even gives instructions on how to make wings). But as the story became soundbyte-size, twitterized, tumblrized all those references--all that history and context--fell by the wayside.
Now we get the pictures of Orlando theater company members smiling up at us from sewing machines and work rooms like heroic progenitors of a seeming novelty, a stroke of genius from out of nowhere: they the lone champions.
No one on tumblr talks about or thinks about how gay history is still teaching us vital strategies for intervening in the present.
Well, time to unfollow @versobooks. That’s a shame. Oh well.
