Random headcanon incoming

Skyscales really like the commander, to the point where if they sit down it won't be long before half a dozen skyscales show up to sit with them.

But it's not because the commander is uniquely good with animals, it's because they're a dragon champion, and they exude magic. So to skyscales they smell bloody amazing, and they flock to the commander to feed off the magic they give off

Nivereth for the wonderful only_fiends! I asked if I could base her design on lilies and snowdrops after seeing her beautiful in-game model and she graciously said yes 💮 I built her skirt out of a lily blossom, and her wrist cuffs, shoes, and shoulder pieces are designed after snowdrops. Her hair is also made of snowdrops, and the ties in her hair and on her dress are lily stamens.⁠ ⁠ I love working on plant-based designs 💚⁠

I think Drakkar being able to swim through the ice should’ve been used outside of the fight. can you imagine how fucking terrifying it would be if, on top of the hallucinatory shit you can just run into, Drakkar’s maw just fucking phases suddenly out of the ice on Drakkar lake or in the cave walls as you’re running on/in it and downs you

[bjoras]

or even without an environmental hazard imagine walking on Drakkar lake or in the ice caves and Drakkar’s massive shadow just Appears, roars, and disappears with no explanation and you just have to Deal With It:tm:

just saw a video of someone mixing milk with pepsi, don't even try to convince me that gorrik wouldn't do that

[bluebudgie]

in fact i think gorrik should dabble in mixology.

horrifying cocktails (of questionable definition) created by gorrik, poor rama is the test subject

the darkness at the heart of my love for you

i am always thinking about that one asura in taimi's lab who, upon not recognizing the commander, snarks something like "oh, i'm sorry, i didn't bring my heroes of tyria flash cards with me today 🙄"

was he just joking or do those exist. heroes of tyria TRADING cards, even???? are children across the realm kicking and biting each other over a holographic trahearne

catch them in bloodtide coast everyday braiding each other's hair like they're not about to get eaten alive by a giant jungle wurm

Running into a player on Guild Wars 2 I recognise their character name and follow their tumblr. I devolve into pure starry-eyed excitement.

the commander and their found family

aka some fluff w/the commander and the members of dragon’s watch

kasmeer - the commander always takes her input and is always in her corner to encourage her or lend an ear; even if they don’t believe in the human gods themselves, they respect her dedication. if they do believe in the gods, they confide in her their doubts and struggles during path of fire, and they can always count on her to help lift their spirits.

marjory - the commander absolutely teases her about her and kasmeer during season one and is always ready to listen to any doubts or observations she has about a situation. they’re confident in her abilities and never hesitate to trust her with their life. a necromancer commander would also feel more at ease using their abilities around her.

braham - the commander adopts a joking rapport with him, always ready to spar, arm wrestle, or join him in a drinking competition, and will tease him about it regardless of who wins. despite the pressure much of his people place on him to be a great hero like his mother, the commander values him as family no matter where his journeys take him, even if that path sometimes runs opposite to their own.

rox - the commander is always happy to see her, greeting frostbite with equal enthusiasm; they make sure she knows she always has a place with them. when others (particularly other charr) put her down, the commander is ready to come to her defense. they know how much braham means to her and never fault her when this results in her acting out of concern for him.

taimi - the commander comes to her with any questions they have, sometimes calling her simply because they need to listen to someone. they know full well that she is a force to be reckoned with and never underestimated (which many of her peers seem to do), and are endlessly glad to have her as a comrade and friend

rytlock - a younger commander develops a bit of a mentor-mentee dynamic with him (insert the “do you see me as a father figure?” bit), while an older commander is grateful for his insight and friendship. regardless, the commander isn’t afraid to tease/butt heads a bit with him, but ultimately respects him for what he’s been through. and yes, they do enjoy his hugs.

gorrik - the commander finds his enthusiasm for insects contagious, and will send him the odd question or photo of an interesting bug they saw simply because they think he’d enjoy it. they will tease and compliment him in equal measure, though they’re always sure to never invalidate his interests.

The Commander, thinking about the scores of Vigil corpses scattered around Bjora Marches:

Excuse me? Why does Aurene have this in her nest?

feeling very emotional about the way that gw2 develops really meaningful and evolving friendships between your pc and the npcs you interact with the most

[spiritofthetiger]

I know they made it so it wouldn’t be too weird when you play a charr or a Norn but if you play a asura or a tiny human/sylvari it’s hilarious that Crecia and Rytlock have to be two to carry the commander out of the cave after Bangar shot them

Norns are spread out in homesteads all across the Shiverpeaks. Hoelbrak is like a central hub thing. Mainly, these homesteads all share the same main religion (Spirits of the Wild), but they all have different cultures and physical appearances. The further North they are, the more culturally different they are. Also hc that Norns from the far far North are darker in appareance.

Similarly for Charr, different 'groups' of Charr will share specific physical aspects.
