About me-

I’m an enby ace artist who keeps wanting to get more involved in the GW2 community and fails at it. But asks are always 100% welcome!

I also run a science-fantasy webcomic called AstralSounds, and have a bunch of other side projects always in progress.

If you see follows or likes from “the-snowlion,” that’s me.

(Please don’t take it personally if I unfollow or don’t follow back! I have weird anxiety triggers that I need to avoid. And sometimes I just plain forget follow.)

I return from the grave to say that I have mixed feelings about the GW3 announcement, but I am trying to reserve judgement until more info comes out

The biggest selling point to me for GW2 was the variety of playable races. So if GW3 doesn't end up with options I like, I can't imagine myself getting very invested. I need to be some kind of creechur.

[smugsharkrat]

I haven't had the chance to play VoE yet, and I've managed to avoid any big spoilers (so appreciative for a community that tags properly <3). But seeing how excited my fellow asura lovers are so far has me super hyped for when I do get around to catching up!

[smugsharkrat]

Hope everyone going to the GW2 event tonight has a great time!

[guildwars-questions]

WEEKLY QUESTION:

What part of the guild wars 2 map would you most like to see explored in a future expansion?

Reblogs with comments highly encouraged! Putting your thoughts outside of the tags means we can all engage with each other, and find other thoughts we find provoking!

Screenshots/images/art are also encouraged!

Everyone saying underwater is SO RIGHT AND VALID pls anet give me underwater horrors.

I wanna explore more around the eye of the north. Gimme a norn expac about reclaiming the north.

Underground! Ancient asuran cities!!

Pretty much all the places the dragons claimed and drove people out of. I wanna see what they're like now. I also want to go back to orr and see what it looks like after being cleansed.

Finally got around to completing the Work Hard for Now collection and I can't say I was expecting an AJR reference...

[guildwuff2]

anyone going to the gw2 meetup in Seattle this year?

[smugsharkrat]

Ah crap! I missed the window to grab tickets! I might try to get into the standby line

[ratasum]

Y'all I'm losing my shit I'll take proper screens later but I went and farmed a key on one of my toons I hadn't done the personal story on.

The bespoke Inquest supersoldier in his tank at last.

[smugsharkrat]

Damn, I really need this for Q-EA-03...

[smugsharkrat]

Okay, I DO really like Inquest stuff, so consider my interest piqued! But I'm staying cautious with my optimism. If the Inquest are our big bad for this round, could we have some asura politics, culture, and history integrated into the plot too? Can we get some non-Inquest asura npcs playing significant parts in the story?

I'm not holding my breath, but I can dream...

Tyria Pride 2025

Edit: Shoutout to @stormsworder and @the-demon-zephyr! Both of whom can be spotted towards the end in Metrica!

Had a blast at the parade yesterday! Saw so many amazing outfits and characters, as well as spotting a few familiar faces from tumblr, such as @thornethenorn , @moth-tea-merchant , and @frogliftcertified ! (If you spot your character in any of these screenshots, please let me know and I'll add your url to the post!)

Hoping everyone had fun this year and that next year will be just as epic!

Screenshots from Tyria Pride day 2!

The day started with a gorgeous moth wall in Lion's Arch. I loved seeing all the different flag colors on the moth mounts. Every single one looked gorgeous!

@commander-amicia-soulpaw (in a fantastic Jax cosplay!) and I ended up in mostly smaller groups during the march, but that was more fun in a way! A little less chaotic and a bit more cozy

More screenshots from the very end of Tryia Pride day 1!
