Black Flight Musings

Hi, I’m back again with more Black Flight spicy takes. ***DISCLAIMER: I HAVE YET TO FULLY FINISH THE STORYLINE SO FAR BECAUSE THIS EXPANSION HAS BEEN VERY EMOTIONALLY STRENUOUS ON MY HEART AND HAVE FOUND IT DIFFICULT TO ENDURE. IF I HAVE MISSING FACTS OR HAVE A THEORY THAT COULD BE DEBUNKED WITH INFORMATION, PLEASE FEEL FREE TO POLITELY LET ME KNOW. BUT THESE ARE FEELINGS AND THOUGHTS I FEEL LIKE I WANT TO EXPRESS.*** 1: I’ve seen the argument against Wrathion where they claim that he’d rather just kill others than help them. Had that been the case, Ebyssian SHOULDN’T be alive. BUT HE IS. During Visions of N’zoth, Ebyssian came down from Highmountain to help the champion empower the Heart of Azeroth but in doing so; left the protection that was placed there. Since he technically wasn’t a purged dragon, he went under fire from the N’zoths influence right in front of Wrathion. At this point in time, Wrathion had been able to learn how to not only stave off the influence, but also learn how to fight back and purge individuals. By all rights; it really would have been easier and less risky in the long run to have just outright killed Ebyssian... BUT WRATHION CHOSE NOT TO. This choice speaks wonders about what Wrathion truly wants. This isn’t something that gets spoken about at all, even by Ebyssian. 2: I’m getting sort of sick of the phrase “Neltharion’s betrayal.”  I understand that his... “Death” and becoming Deathwing is very shrouded in a vague poorly written cloud, but I do have a theory that involves the Dracthyr. During the cinematic of Neltharion facing off against the surprise attack, there was heavy emphasis and focus on his face; more specifically his eyes. When he used the old god power, his eyes were the focus and how they changed. Now when we see the memory of Emberthal and the others being put into stasis; what’s the ONE thing we don’t get to see of Neltharion? His eyes.  During the storyline in Azure Span, we learn in one of Malygos’s Journals that Neltharion asked him to develop a stasis spell for undisclosed reasons, and as the weeks went by; was getting more pushy about it. Malygos noticed a strange decline in Neltharion; but couldn’t figure it out. In those weeks, Neltharions mind was “dying,” and Deathwing was taking over. Even in his dying state; Neltharion must have understood that he fucked up, and didn’t want his dracthyr to be in danger of whatever he was becoming. While I don’t agree with his choice of placing them in stasis, I can understand the intent. But as his mind died; Neltharions intent to protect them changed to Deathwings intent to contain them. He had enough mind and care left, to ask his closest friend whom he trusted to watch over and protect those he made... But shortly after sealing them away; mentally died.  When Neltharion finally revealed himself as Deathwing; I believe that he had already been “dead” for ages, suffering as Deathwing; the puppet masquerading as Neltharion.  I... understand that Neltharion is rather ripe with controversy when it comes to his actions in life, and the structures he had. But how much of that is Neltharion, and how much of it was Deathwing??? Who knows at this point. He’s so hazy. ---------------------------------------- /sigh I just really love the black flight. I wish I could give them a better life.

Lip smack.

So. They destroyed all of Wrathion’s wonderful character development only to “rebuild” his character, bring in this stupid feud with Sabellian.... and then just give Aspecthood to Ebyssian?  The one black dragon who... did jack shit except for exist? The one who had no hard choices to make? The one who hid in shame until recent? ***That’s*** who we have leading now?        

....really?

Honestly this expansion isn’t even worth playing anymore. Ffs.

I grew up thinking Bryan Lunney’s dad was just some guy. 5 years ago I find out that his dad is *THE* Glynn Lunney. I can see it and I have no idea how I didn’t realize they were father and son. I’m not going to be shocked if a 3rd Lunney comes along, whether it be Bryan’s kid, or his grandkid.

If one does, I have no idea what their callsign would be. Carbon is taken by Ed Van Cise. Hmmm Obsidian?

Что ж, теперь молодой исследователь не так уж и полон энтузиазма.

Но эта ваза привела к долгому и интересному разговору. О том, что сильная сторона чёрных драконов вовсе не сила, как думает молодой Вораксиан, а отвага. Нужная в том числе для того, чтобы свободно мыслить, мечтать и двигать мир вперёд.
