I've been thinking on Trehearne and Honestly I feel like Anet didn't do him proper justice. For All non-sylvari He's dumped on you Unceremoniously At CLAW ISLAND And spends the majority of A Brutal, Unrelenting assault by orrian forces Vomiting his Backstory at you while you do 95% of the fighting. Which, At least from my perspective, introduces And sets him up as someone who cannot be trusted in a combat situation. he comes off as flighty and unfocused... And then he's immediately Shoved into the Center Role for the Pact. Someone who, Your first time spending any time with him, thinks it's appropriate to tell you about his backstory and Life calling Like someone had dropped a Jehova's Witness in the middle of an active warzone. He goes on to redeem himself a bit, Making Choice decisions and using a frankly staggering control over necrothurgy ( necromancy But the -mancy suffix means divination ) To get you out of a few pinches. But he still insists on Vaguely discussing his work in a non-helpful way. I would have liked to see him talk about the enemies you're facing, To rattle off some of the orrian Prince's History , to Discuss his understanding of Orrian biology and how it can be overcome But he really.. didn't. not in a major way.

i've been thinking about my gwaenyra fic, more specifically their children. just rhaenyra having the royal nursery redecorated because it's been unused for such a long time. having a tapestry commissioned that depicts syrax on top of the high tower and hanging it above/behind the cradle. their children would have gwayne read them bedtime stories about ancient hightower kings/knight and fearsome dragons. all of them flying on syrax to oldtown and having fun.

So in my story of EarthSpark, now mainly aiming the S4, I was planning to include my Megatron's old war design after you know already what, relapsing.. yadda yadda- because you'd assume that would actually happen with him too like it did with Bumblebee but the part with Bee we are not gonna include.. or mention really. Yeah they kinda rescued him but he is hard to trust properly again with how aggressive he is like I said before on my other page about this.

The Terrans may also like that alt mode he has, But then again he would probably scan an new alt mode again because he's on Earth and where is the point in being a Cybertronian Tank now if there is no war or anything.. plus it looks kinda out of Place to have it on Earth with the Design it has unlike Shockwave's own. But he did keep it again for a little while but then again also the damned collar he has to wear made him unable to tranfrorm either for a while, so basically limited transformation as if he is just a prisoner.

Hashtag personally loved that alt mode he has, then Thrash was terrified because he was paranoid he will get shot at any time Megatron was there of if they were with him- And yet his Fusion Cannon was also taken away somehow and it's in Wheeljack's lab somewhere. Others weren't as sure either about him trying to be good again really.

Hear me out: Megatron is a secret Disney Princess.

It sounds wild, but think about it! He often takes walks in the forest, and at one specific spot, the local animals always show up. They don't run; they approach him and hang out like he's not a giant robot who could crush them by accident. Not only is he super careful around them, but he also somehow 'tamed' or 'befriend' the creatures.

maybe we'll get flashbacks of alicent and her mother. maybe we'll get flashbacks of alerie praying with her children in the sept. maybe we'll get a flashback scene of alerie and aemma talking. maybe otto speaks about her and sheds a tear. maybe alicent and gwayne talk about their mother and how they miss her.

maybe.... just maybe alerie florent is the character i never knew i needed until now.

Since this is a question I've been thinking of for a bit, what are each of the four fixers' weapons?

Oh! This one's fun!

Starting simple, Daie uses either a spare rifle from the Whitenight Bossfight for ranged combat, or her gloves for up close spats. The gloves themselves have retractable claws built into them, and were initially bought as a classy form of self defense, given that Daie was a singer long before she was a fixer.

Kinsley has just about every gun-shaped EGO weapon in his arsenal, but primarily uses Magic Bullet, because of course he does. Recently, though, an anon gave him this:

Make of that what you will. Also, his prosthetic arm has a corkscrew bottle opener and a lighter In the index and middle fingers.

Olivie's weapons are a pair of twin swords with a clock design on the hilts. They're a bit of a hold over from an older version of Olivie's characterization, from back when she was an abnormality. The twin swords; Minute Hand and Hour Hand, were originally the EGO weapons that could be extracted from her. Idk where she got them now, but they retain their theming regardless. Olivie's other weapon is, of course, herself. She is a distortion, and she uses her distorted form as a weapon, which is super fun to draw. These combat sprites in particular itch my brain good

And, lastly, the Violet Mercy herself. Camille's gone through a couple weapons, funnily enough. Her first weapon was a staff that used a selective cognition filter to make her hardblood attacks look like petals and plants. She'd also make hardblood guns ala Mami Tomoe.

Then Whitenight's Darkdays form ate the staff. But, luckily, or lady of light Carmen came in clutch and gave her an EGO weapon of her very own. Reposting @voice-of-the-light-c and I's interaction here because I know the Whitenight boss fight thread is LONG.

Camille's new weapon is a thorned whip sword, named after the book that gave Camille her surname; La Dame aux Camélia. It's also why her EGO gives her the ability to create doppels of herself made of white and red camellias.

The whip also conceals a faux blood vessel to use as a conduit for her hardblood attacks.

And that's how being gay defeated the antichrist. Also apparently the book I referenced in her EGO was the inspiration for Moulin Rouge? Maybe that's why Cami has such game.
