Six sentence prompt thing: Hardcase/Obi-Wan, Emperor Hardcase

For this ask game

*giggles*

"This is ridiculous," General Kenobi murmurs, careful not to let the Jedi cadets hear. "Where did they even hear about the old Mandalorian Empire?"

Hardcase just keeps grinning and lets the little Nautolan drape a crown of flowers over his head. "Don't worry, General," he says, carding one hand through Kenobi's hair and pulling him to rest more firmly against his legs with the other. "I'll protect you from the big, bad Sithlings."

Kenobi snorts but lets himself be moved, careful not to overbalance Hardcase's 'throne' of sleeping mats, fluffy comfort objects, and every pillow in the crèche.

"Of course, my liege," he drawls, watching the cadets on the other side of the room draw up a battle plan. "My fate rests in your most capable hands, Emperor Hardcase."

Saw your post about Varian's eyes in the tag--I, too, love the idea of Goldrinn being physically obvious around him when he fights, but just skimmed the comics and the only times his eyes look lighter seem to just be attempts to show them catching the light. Which is a shame, because if anywhere could have gotten away with it, it would have been the comics.

UGH. They missed SO many opportunities for that!! It’s why, despite the book’s many many flaws, I ADORE the cover of Wolfheart. It does the thing I wish Blizzard had the balls to DO.

△ What's the worst thing they've done to someone they cared for?

(Canon-compliant Sam.)

9, he had really hoped to take this one to his grave.  Shortly before he got married, he had a very brief affair.  He never told anyone, and he doesn’t regret it.  In fact, he wishes things had worked out between them long-term.

✖ How has Tumblr RP changed since you started?

I want to say it’s changed a lot since I started but, honestly, it hasn’t at all? When I first joined Tumblr RP, which was a number of years ago, I generally stuck to groups before eventually carving my way out as an indie GoT/ASoIaF muse (of which is staying my personal secret because so many people in that community are hecking talented and my grasp of the character was… okay). That being said, I wrote in large font with very basic icons; my theme was acceptable but not contained or anything like that. It’s only in the past few years that those standards have sort of become desired/typical of the community – which isn’t to say it’s a bad thing, it’s just interesting to see how things change.

♒ Thoughts on the fandom you’re currently rping in?

You know? I hear a lot of people talk about how the Warcraft canon rpc is incredibly antsy when it comes to ships – and the rejection/disapproval of certain pairings can result in people feeling ostracised and at odds with the greater community. But, on a personal level, I’ve never encountered this? In my time in the Warcraft rpc, almost everyone I have encountered has been nothing but kind and welcoming. Maybe it’s because I don’t play popular muses or something like that, but I’ve never had a bad time here – and it’s one of the communities I actively recommend to people who may be considering getting into Tumblr roleplay. We have such a plethora of characters that could be explored, so it really astonishes me at times that our community is so tiny ( But it was better than when I first joined on my first Yrel blog. There was like literally like… @bandortalah, @thuashdore and a handful of other people. Literally a hand – I could count everyone on both hands ). But I love this place, I love the people, and even when I go away for a long period of time, I always find myself coming back here. I adore this fandom.

Death Knight

This…went off the rails a bit.

Death Knight Sam

In time, they come to call him the Firstborn.  It’s not an inaccurate name, precisely–he was the first of the Death Knights to be raised after Bolvar’s ascent to the Frozen Throne.

He remembers flying.

A fourth generation dawns, unlike the rest–these new Death Knights have never known the tight control of Arthas’ grasp, have never struggled for their freedom as the third generation did.  They were born to it, remade to a world that feared them, yes, but did not wish them dead.

He remembers fire.

Many of them were former paladins, former Alliance, former Horde, all too willing to fight each other instead of working together for whatever greater purpose they now serve.  He listens to them snipe and complain, and he watches them fight.  The strong will survive, he thinks.  The weak will perish.

He remembers falling.

An Argent tabard, now brittle with rime, is the only reminder of his past life.  He supposes he should be less surprised that he ends up in charge, in the field, but he is–his history of putting the goal above other more petty concerns makes him a favorite of the older Death Knights, a grim determination reminiscent of their own past struggles.

He remembers blood.

He stands now on a cliff, high in the Redridge Mountains, staring down at the city.  His fangs glisten, hungry for flesh.  His sword is sharp, thirsty for blood.  He has a King to serve.  He has a world to conquer.

(The first one he raises he names Forlorn, for the sound he makes when he dies.  The storm embraces him, and vengeance rules his heart.

Forlorn remembers nothing.)

Two Fandoms: OUAT and OW ;)

Send me Two Fandoms and I'll Tell You... || still accepting

Which has the better protagonist: idk that overwatch has a set lead. unless i’m allowed to count tracer as the lead, since she’s kind of the face of the whole game/most memorable. so between her and emma, i’d go tracer. i haven’t been disappointed in her arc so far and she’s adorbs

Which has the better villain: It’s a tie between Reaper and Cora. 

Which has the better plot: Overwatch

Which has better cinematography: I’m gonna go with overwatch? Their videos are always great and I get so pumped for new events whenever we get new characters or bits of worldbuilding

Which one is more fun: overwatch. i haven’t immersed myself in fandom enough to hate it so i’m still enjoying myself with the game and its lore (i’ve learned lmao)

Which one makes me think the most: i’m gonna say it’s about the same??

Which do I watch when I want to relax: i’ll play overwatch when i’m bored/want to unwind. and i’ll watch the first two seasons of ouat when i want a good cry

Which do I watch when I want it to consume me: seasons 1 and 2 of ouat

Which is my favorite: even though i hated everything that happened post season 3a, i gotta go with ouat. but overwatch comes a close second

What made you decide to write this muse? Are there any characters that you love, but simply cannot RP?

--What made you decide to write this muse?

Sam has been a constant process of evolution over several years, starting with his creation as a character, not just ‘my WoW main,’ back in Wrath as a one-off for an RP event (an Argent Tournament thing, and we didn’t have enough people playing Argents so everyone had their main and also an Argent alt; Sam was my Argent alt).  His story (/tagged/nhsys) is considerably more recent, a long love letter to my boyfriend about a man who fundamentally believes that people can be better, and how even though that seems out of place in World of Warcraft (my boyfriend comments often about how dark the lore is, hidden behind colorful, cartoony graphics), it’s necessary and useful.  Sam as an RP character is an extension of that, and also a serious attempt at portraying a child soldier who was told “if you fight, if everyone fights, this will be over quicker and you can go live a normal life,” only to grow up and find himself not only still at war, but also not really able to adjust to that ‘normality.’

--Are there any characters that you love, but simply cannot RP?

I’m dreading the day I have to write Vol’jin for my fic (/tagged/nhsys), because I feel like there’s no way I’ll ever be able to do him justice.  He’s dangerous and clever, and in a much more veiled way than most of the other faction leaders.  People underestimate him, and never understand that their doing so was his decision, not theirs.  Conveying that sense of him being a few steps ahead of the game is going to be difficult.

(Contrast Varian, who is Xanatos Speed Chess personified.)

Bloop

Rupert Loughenn, a Redridge march-lord, discovered his affinity for fire when someone attempted to burn his house down, likely in an attempt to destroy the evidence of the conspiracy that had led to his father’s death.  He didn’t discover his affinity for felfire until the Legion attacked Westfall while he was enjoying a beach holiday.
