I love enchanters. I love illusionists. I love magical manipulation. Your brain is also now mine. I'm only a little sorry. I love lying as a necessary skill. I love specifically not lying, but never telling whole truths. Benevolent manipulation, my beloved. The prodigies in manipulative magicks who both take pride in their skill and regret doing it to others. Or not. All of life's a stage. Some people know the scene and its lines better, is all.

Full of GW2 brainworms when I haven't opened it in awhile nor continued the story in awhile, but. Just.

I'm Thinking abt the Knight of the Thorn quests again. The way I IMMEDIATELY started them as soon as I could after Heart of Thorns. That I haven't changed Lightbringer Merit's main weapon since getting that sword. It was in his hands when he faced Balthazar. It is still equipped, belted to his side. He's still using Chronomancy, no matter how many new tricks there are to learn and use as he travels. My boy is still there, right there, with a broken thorn of the Pale Tree in his hands to kill, reluctant. Heart-broken.

GW2 OC Playlists

was gonna message abt this to Someone (>:3c) but then decided to place it down somewhere also, so Buckle Up 

Lightbringer Merit 

Songs for the Commander, dawn-born sylvari, mesmer, Whispers Agent. Too new to the world to be so tired, but he presses on anyways with a mask of wit and charm. 

VIBES: Indie, weird-ish pop SIGNATURE SONG: Half Hero by Oh Land 

Magister Quincy 

Songs for the infamous Asuran Engineer, Priory Magister and Pact Tactician in all her cold calculations, brazen pride and habit of humming to her machines.

VIBES: Rock, electronic, some instrumentals  SIGNATURE SONG: Old Friends (Hummed) [feat. Ashley Barrett) by Darren Korb 

Rhysan of Night 

Songs chronicling the rise and fall of a Sylvari Guardian & Blacksmith; once a Vigil recruit but soured by Nightmare Courtiers, betrayed by his love and torn from the Pale Tree, and the years he spends after. 

VIBES: Alternative, slow songs, mostly negative lyrics SIGNATURE SONG: Long & Lost by Florence + the Machine  

(Bonus: Merit/Trahearne playlist, esp for post-HoT, because I had to get the post-HoT feelings out somehow okay, don’t look at me)

Well, ‘tis the season for tricks and treats, is it not? 

Me: [gets Merit ready for Halloween far too early for the Halloween event in-game, and for Halloween itself] 

I had friends tell me which outfit to pick, and Shade Trickster Merit won, so here he is in his usual outfit vs. his Halloween outfit!

"I saw the first Commander pass by to talk to the Marshal. He’s shorter than I thought.”

“Yeah? He makes up for it in personality if you get to talk to him, trust me. I’ve heard interesting things about those two, you know.”

“Oh, you and your rumors... What is it you’ve heard?”

“I heard they were something during the war against Zhaitan. Late night meetings, lots of one-on-one discussions, so much trust and faith in each other during a war...”

“You talk like it’s a romance novel! Those rumors are probably someone having a laugh... Probably.”

“Maybe, but I was here for those days, you weren’t. I’m inclined to believe there’s some truth there.” 

“Well, then, are they not still t-uhh, something?”

“Don’t know. They’ve never been in an argument that I’ve heard, beyond over war plans maybe, but the Commander’s a real busy fellow, and according to friends in the Reach, he's got a rather racy reputat--”

“YOU TWO! Cease your gossiping and get back to your jobs immediately!” 

“Yikes!” “Yes, madam tactician!”
