#gw2 commander

[lady-quen]

Honest to god "came back wrong" is one of the sexiest tropes there are. Especially if the catch isn't "oh it's not them after all, it's just a monster wearing their shell" but instead it IS still them, just changed. Irrevocably so, perhaps in grotesque ways, but at the core of it all, past all the whispers and strange looks behind their back, past even their own self-doubt - lies a small part of the person they used to be. The very part that counts.

Yeah, get driven to near-insanity by what you lost and can't get back. Struggle with your identity, your own skin. Ask yourself every day and every night, was it really worth it?

And then, find the strength to eventually answer, yes, yes it was.

Despite everything.

It's still you.

Riyaew finally gets a ref. Also Izakk is my newest rat.

After some discussion in the guild chat, I wanted to put together a little community-driven creative project.

This is an open invitation to any and everyone in the creative GW2 community! Add your commander (or any of your GW2 characters) to the group. Both art and edited in-game screens are welcome! Let's play with our characters like paper dolls.

Below the cut is a hi-res transparent .png, free for adding as much or as little as you please.

Glaw is ready for a handshake, an arm wrestle, an opening to a dance; whatever. Get creative! Add on until the room is full of shenanigans!

(This is a given, but please be respectful of other people and their characters!)

*for reference, Glaw is 9'3 (282 cm)

Feel free to tag me if you make a new post rather than reblog

spent half his life in a thieves' guild and picks the Pact assault on Arah to have an existential crisis.

(Eauxi, his co-commander and fellow Claw Island vet, is too proud to be cringe in front of a Firstborn).

Snargle's really upping his game with the artists he's commissioning for his new books, honestly. He even sent Praxxi an advance copy!

Here's the cover without text as well!

Something I find so compelling about the Commander (and Myra in particular, of course) is that they’re not particularly special. Just right place right time

You’re not special. But somehow, you killed one dragon. Then two. Now people know, with absolute surety, that you will be able to kill the rest. Which means no one will ever step up to do it in your stead, because why would they? You’re the Commander, you killed two dragons! You killed a god! You don’t need help, you can absolutely do this :)

You’re not special. But now you HAVE to be, because no one else will step up to take your place

You will always be my little Aurene
