Ive talked at length about the charr backgrounds. But man the funniest one is a commander human noble background. You have employees and an estate you arent managing. Like your servants stop seing you after a particular party goes bad. Like what do they do with an empty house that you never visit? No parties to host no clothes to clean nothing. Just left behind by the person who was supposed to be a guiding becon for the community.
ngl on the subject of braham and grief and having that really flesh him out as a character
i did always want to see Jory really break down and talk about her sister in that same vein. not necessarily lashing out or crying but like. like a moment where she really just
like yeah yeah she gets snippy and fights with kasmeer at the end of lw3, yeah there's the memorial quest in eod. those didnt feel enough for me, and the latter felt like tying up that plotline in a neat bow to never talk about again.
but like. in bjora marches you hear her fighting the illusions from pulling out the guilt she still has. and that was never addressed at the time.
i want to know how my friends are doing when they go through shit, i want them to be okay, to know they can rely on the little guild.
and now its kind of past the time to really address it, and we've seemingly left them behind(anet i swear to fucking god if you keep us from the wedding), and its like.
that WAS the kind of story i wanted. i love when gw2 characters have low moments, they feel so fucking human and i can never get enough!
it's about being caught between the grip of somebody who wants to protect you and somebody who wants to devour you and knowing that what they both share is a desire to possess you in your entirety btw
I personally me myself find it important to Alba's character development-- and his relationship with Canach-- that he's spent a decade hung up on Trahearne's death and has always treated this as, like. His doomed, destined, tragically lost true love, when he and Trahearne were only somewhat compatible as lovers and knew each other for just a few years before his death. Whereas Alba had let every relationship since, including the one that's spanned a full decade, rot while he tears himself apart, grieving for something that lasted the blink of an eye. I wonder how it feels to play second fiddle to a dead man. Watching your mutual lover chase every available path to go meet him. Who said all that. Huh... must have been the wind.
Yeah. You get it. I've considered "trahearne lives" au before and it's nothing for me... but I've also played with "trahearne gets brought back and it makes everything worse" au and for me that one's kinda fun. It's about the tragedy and grief and especially the tragedy of the people around the Commander watching them destroy themselves. "I want it back = I drag its dead weight forward" is basically my outlook on it.
How did your commander/oc learn their elite? Who trained them? Are they self-taught? Do they mix and match with other elites of their class or another class altogether? Are they good at every elite or just one or two? Tell me all your your commander and their elite spec!
i did a little doodle of him that spiraled out of control (the two little ones at the bottom) and then realized they were wayyy too small to post anywhere :/ so i redrew it bigger lol! i have some mixed feelings about the final result, but i still really like it! i think my big issue is that i need to figure out how to render hair lol
anyway, the differences between the first three pics are just the hair color. it’s pretty subtle, but the first one is more white, the second is more blond, and the third has a rainbow-ish filter thing on it (i wanted to make his hair kinda iridescent or something? def something i’m gonna play around with more in the future!)
there’s also a lil close up of the face in the bottom row bc i really like how i did the sparkly freckles 💖
hiii!!! i know i’ve been suuuper inactive on here, (schools been. a Lot.) but im back! anyway, i’m putting this art i did of my boy juyun over here bc 1. im love him and 2. he basically looks the same as his gw2 counterpart lol
ok. i have been Thinking about onyx’s relationships. and i’m pretty decided now that she’s gonna be poly, mostly bc she works so well with so many characters, and also they all look so cute together <3 but now i’m trying to figure the like. timeline of things??? and hoo boy
i’ll make the full timeline in a separate post, but i’ll sum up stuff real quick here. onyx was in love with trahearne, tragically that didn’t work out cuz he died rip. she’s real sad for a while, so she ignores the beginnings of some feelings for braham and caithe. after kralk, she and canach have a brief and casual fling, and then onyx ends up falling for jayrim while hanging out in elona. they eventually have to split up, especially with onyx having to leave elona and jayrim wanting/having to stay. during ibs, onyx’s old crush on braham pretty much punches her in the face. when he becomes primordus’ champ, onyx is SUPER worried about him. when she finds him alive after the fight, she gets rly emotional, like telling him how much she cares about him and stuff. she knows her feelings are more than a lil crush now, but refrains from making a move bc braham needs some time to recover (both physically and emotionally). in eod, caith and onyx have some real cute moments as aurene’s moms, i think jayrim pops up again with the corsairs here, and i really like the idea of onyx asking out braham after the engagement party. the big issue now though, is that i feel like caithe and onyx should have started dating after onyx and jayrim dated, but before onyx has her big Feelings Epiphany with braham at the end of ibs. that basically just leaves me with ibs as the timeframe, which is rough bc i don’t think caithe shows up during ibs at all?
ok. so. i’ve thought of two options rn. one: onyx meets up with caithe after leaving elona, and that’s when they start dating. two: they spend time together in the eye of the north and end up dating
this got. really long lol. so my rambling is below the cut! ur welcome lol. also if u just wanna see what i ended up going with, i put a silly lil diagram at the bottom o7
option one works, but i feel like onyx would have left elona bc of the start of ibs? like she leaves because she has to go to the charr rally thing. i guess maybe she could’ve still had time to swing by the grove and hang out with caithe? but idk. i could just make up some other reason that onyx had to leave, like maybe her family or something? ok, that has some promise!
option two feels a bit more possible to me, but i’m also not super sure how much caithe was at eotn during ibs. also, there was a lot of war stuff happening so idk if they would’ve had time for dating?
ok i’m kinda leaning towards option one now… like, onyx gets contacted by her family that they need her to come back for like a wedding, or to celebrate an achievement of one of her siblings? one’s trying to be a minister, one’s in the seraph, and another one is a priest, so any one of them could have done something cool enough to warrant onyx going back to see them. (also i promise i didn’t forget jasper, around this point in time he’d too busy partying to do anything worth onyx coming home for lol) so with onyx going back, she says that while it’ll be a long time, she’ll come back to elona afterwards! or, if jayrim wanted to… she could come with? and jayrim tells her that this has been great, and she loves onyx and all, but she can’t stop being a corsair. and onyx can’t stop being the commander. either way, this isn’t gonna work out forever, so… maybe it’s best if they end it now. and so they agree to break up but they’re both sad about it :(
so then maybe onyx and caithe starts as a kind of rebound thing? like they run into each other, and start hanging out. and hm! she’s feeling some things! onyx thinks back to their talks together as they took care of bb aurene, and now that she thinks about it, she might have had some feelings for caithe at the time? and these current weird feelings feel a lot like those?? wait has she been kinda in love with caithe this whole time??? and then they start dating :3c
also, i think onyx and caithe would talk about braham during or after ibs? bc like, i want onyx to be kinda freaking out over her feelings for braham, but i don’t want her to be kind of cheating on caithe :/ so maybe they have a convo early on about like, possibly being a poly/open relationship? i could see onyx thinking about this since she just had that whole thing with jayrim, so maybe at the time she’d be kinda hoping to get back together someday? either way, i feel like caithe would be pretty open to it, cuz i’m sure sylvari aren’t that monogamous. i feel like caithe would just want onyx to run it by her before she adds somebody yknow? and she’d run it by onyx if she liked anyone! tho i don’t think she would? i think caithe wouldn’t really be looking for another partner. like, i think caithe would like a monogamous relationship, but she’s also ok with a poly one, especially if they keep up good communication and that onyx doesn’t like, forget about her or something. yeah. i think that the idea they’d have for their relationship at first is that caith would be dating onyx, who would also be dating braham, and then also jayrim. but then caithe and jayrim would start dating eventually too :)
OH ALSO!!! i could always add yao…. bc im Love Them. and i could see them dating onyx and braham… oohhhhhhh that’s so cuteeeee….. lol and then the polycule is two triangles, which is kinda fun!
ok tldr ig. the polycule is eventually gonna be this: caithe is dating jayrim and onyx, who are dating too, and onyx is also dating braham and yao, who also are dating too :3c here is a diagram
