Explanations?? in MY shitpost???
As per @kiunlo and @goodest-noodle individually astute observations that Saurfang and Eitrigg are sharing a single raw mushroom in the pre-BFA cutscene
an observation that quickly went completely out of hand.
don't ruin it. don't point out the meat in front of everyone else. this is about the mushroom. she is the star
It's my birthday this week, see. I thought I'd treat myself to something nice. I'm here, browsing nerd shops, and finally finding out about the WoW tarot deck. Huh, I say. Tarot readings were always wrong for me, but hey, I've always liked the aesthetic! And clicking on the website preview, the 3 cards they show look pretty nice! Time to google more cards, I say!
Of course, googling the deck turns out exactly three things: The same shop previews of the Thrall, Silithus Sword, and Tyrande (or was it Jaina?). The same argument whether or not Tyrande is supposed to be Empress and shouldn't Jaina be it instead? And more reviews, all centered around the same ten cards everyone shows. "Want to see more? Buy the deck!!!!!!!"
Now the thing is, I don't really vibe with this capitalist dystopia we've created. I was this close to NOT buying the cards, because the 10 I've seen did not impress me much actually. Good, but not brilliant. I happened to then see one that did, and decide, fuck it.
See, I'm a slav, and I grew up in a simpler time. We were all piss poor, and there was maybe one kid with a color television, one kid with Stephen King books, one kid with a Pentium 2, one kid with a portable boombox, in a friend group. You bought one cassette tape and you took turns. You wanted to see the Warcraft Tarot Cards? Well, then you hoped your friend Smaranda who likes Warcraft a little too much would invite you over for snacks and stories, and you'd then see the cards. And those cards would look so neat, you would decide Hey. One day, I will have 25 dollars to spare, and I will buy these cards too! They are SO worth it! I've never bought something that was teased to me by "here's three pages for free you shitpoor scrub! BUY!". But things my friend Smaranda or Ivan or Petr showed? God. I filled my house with them. Shelves upon shelves of books and games I tried for free from a friend or a library and absolutely fell in love with.
Is this an anti capitalist and pro sharing rant? Absolutely. So tonight, allow me to be your friend Smaranda, and invite you over for tea, sweets, and a thorough viewing of
✨The Complete Official World of Warcraft Tarot Deck! ✨
Lads, I'm being copyright struck......
After a lot of brainstorming on my part and a lot of good input from @goodest-noodle, we are certain we have all of them pretty correct. The power of TWO Smarandas!

CREDITED ARTISTS: Joseph Lacroix, Surfside 3D studio. Deck designed by Ian Flynn. If you fall in love with it like I did (no thanks to Those Ten Cards We All Know By Now), it's worth it for sure. You need to understand, my scanner borked, the cards are in fact smooth and shiny.
Now, go forth. Be Smaranda to someone. Maybe your friend that can't afford the tarot but always wanted to see what the Flynnshaw card looks like. Maybe your cousin. Maybe yourself. Maybe you too were wondering, would you like the deck? Should you go out and get it? But you weren't quite sure who'd be in it, or if you even liked the entire thing. Well, I hope this post helped.
This is the MC, Kenny Ellsworth, who spent his youth in a quaint London suburb. But one fateful day, as evening set over manicured lawns, a shimmering portal opens in his attic, swallowing the young lad in the mystical realm of the fairies. To stop the war between the fairies and goblinkind, Kenny triggered a relic of human technology - a nuclear warhead ripped through the fabric of space-time.
According to chatGPT anyway. Afraid his real story is much less exciting.
There definitely are goblins and fairies around, though. And he is a strapping british lad, in a way.
Not really a fan of making these types of posts, but
My kid found a severely injured month old kitten in the street a couple weeks back. Ants and flies over her, exposed drying bones severe. Took her to the vet. Immediately took her to surgery (god bless my vet he is the kind of person that restores my faith in humanity). Managed to save her and her leg. She even walks somewhat normally these days and she couldn't even get up when we found her. Photos a couple days and post surgery:
You guessed where this is going:
Now, vet's been paid since back then. Problem is, I live paycheck to paycheck (generous expression), and have no such thing as "emergency funds" or "savings" or even "credit card". But I couldn't let this krechur on the street and clearly nobody else was gonna help as according to the vet's estimate, the injury was at least several hours old (and again, the whole ants already eating her business)
If you'd like to help me out and could spare a buck or two so that I can cry less about this unexpected punch my bank account took, I'd eternally appreciate it and that's no exaggeration. You can drop it in my incredibly active ko-fi:

Thanks for reading anyway. Take care of yourselves ❤️
