personal/hobby/character tumblr. this place is for talking to myself in public about little videogame guys primarily, meaningless griping secondarily. sick all the time and whiny about it. probably going to be gw2-centred for a while since that's where my brain's at but i play other games and there's a star-wars-shaped iceberg looming on the horizon at all times. expect most posts to be full of spoilers if you're not caught up.

picking up johanneke's story again but she hasn't gotten much of a spotlight...

johanneke is a shaman of fir tree, who teaches patience, endurance, and adaptable strength. its adherents expect no loud voices or powerful transformations— often fading into the background themselves —but are blessed with heightened awareness and oneness with the world around them. johanneke descended from her forests to help fight zhaitan's corruption, easily inclined to join trahearne's wyld hunt. even after the events with mordremoth she considers the sylvari somewhat kindred spirits and feels protective of them.

she still thinks of herself just one of many equal folk helping in their own way— it was very slow sinking in that people were looking to her as an individual leader, a symbol, and she remains a little perplexed about it.

pretty young for a norn (in her fifties) and knew eir for some time preceding the personal story. she's trans in an uncomplicated way— saw all the big beautiful buxom norn women of legend and went ":0 that'll be me when i grow up!" and then she made it happen.

ultimate commanderly weapon in her arsenal: best at hugging.

Being obsessed with your own ocs is so so good for you i seriously can't recommend it enough

The only downside is that you have to do Everything around here

continued adventurin'

thus ends the free trial msq, which took me a little under a year to complete, looking at the dates on my screenshots. there was a pretty long gap around "sylph business" i think where i got derailed, then locked back in with a lot fewer side-quests and no alternate jobs so i still have plenty of things to prod at casually until i either get the bug to sub for a while or squeenix extends the trial into shadowbringers (lmao).

overall it's not for me but i definitely Get It, had a good time, and look forward to continuing the story at some point. very fond of my little guy. i think my favourite story chunk was late ARR patches through the heavensward patches— and of course the dark knight quests were a delight. hey how tuned-in are sid and rielle to the plot anyway. do they think i'm some kind of serial killer now

sometimes you read the most dogshit deranged analysis of a story and visit the OP (wondering what's wrong with them) to find, unsurprisingly, they've otherwise wholly dedicated their identity to an awful gacha game or a racist cartoon or something.

i play a lot of asura but otherwise not many diminutive characters so the whole odd vibe around lalafell was unexpected. i think they should be allowed to bite people.
