Fanfic is life. Not a writer, but I write anyway.

Everything you need to know is in the bio. This is a side blog, interactions come from @pocketgoth.
I've been playing gw2 for about 6 years and hyperfixating on it for about 2. I write self-indulgent fanfiction, sit for hours trying to get the perfect screenshot and grind for legendaries if the skin is pretty.
Art, SFW writing, character lore and little drabbles I write for fun will be over on my writing blog @just-norn-things, older work will be tagged here, and "proper" writing or anything M+ rated will be on AO3 only.
Occasional 18+ content, please block #nsft and #nsft-ish if you don't want to see any such things.
If you want me to add another tag to filter content, DM me.
If I reblog AI, let me know. AI is not welcome on this blog.
You may send me in-character and NSFW asks about my characters.
I have many characters in-game, but these are the ones you may read about (or run into, if you like Triple Trouble or WVW).
Without further ado, roll call:
Kara Brunhilda Jorgensdottir
Norn, Follower of Wolf, Pact Commander.
Born 1309 AE.
Soulbeast, Chef, Cat Enthusiast.
Other titles involving gods and dragons have also occasionally been mentioned, but she's mostly about the cats.
Might have the best booty in Hoelbrak, might just be that skirt.
Will beat you up, and apologise after. Proper and dignified, tries desperately to live up to her own legend. Jumps off cliffs for fun. Once killed a forged forerunner and stole its boots just for the flaming surfboard.
Best Friends: Torvi Scorchgear, Rytlock Brimstone and Canach.
Mate: Braham Eirsson. Eventually. If they can stop bickering for five minutes. Canach has a betting pool, if you're interested.
Ship-related posts are here
Warmaster Torvi Scorchgear
Norn, Follower of Bear, Warmaster of the Vigil.
Born 1308 AE.
Engineer, Flamethrower only.
Honorary-turned-full member of the Gear Warband.
Only dates Charr. Kara's childhood friend. Party goblin. Will encourage you to be feral. Knows what you did at the last alemoot, and now so does half of Hoelbrak.
Guest stars in the main fic any time the Vigil shows up, will be mentioned semi-regularly.
Mate: Mangonel Gearstrip. They've been ride or die since they got drunk and stole a tank together, and no, they don't want your opinion, thanks. Hoping to adopt a cub or two when Torvi retires from the Vigil.

Rhianwen
Soundless Sylvari. Pale Reaver.
Born in the Cycle of Night, 1305 AE.
Reaper. Obligate Carnivore. Swamp Witch.
Will safely deliver your baby. Probably won't eat it.
Can craft you a tonic to fix just about anything.
Definitely not undead.
AroAce
Joined the campaign to Maguuma as a personal favour to Trahearne. After he is captured by Mordremoth, she puts heavy pressure on the Commander to push forward to rescue him, no matter the cost. Was gifted the remains of Caladbolg for her efforts, though she does not generally wield it.
Yngvar the Aberrant
Norn, Follower of Wolverine.
Yngvar is my brand new child and will get a proper character profile at some point, but for now:
Lives in the Aberrant Forest.
Cannot become the Wolverine at will, but has the weirdest dreams about it.
Boneskinners are friendly towards him, for no apparent reason.
Will feature semi-heavily when my fic gets to the Bjora Marches.
my half of an art trade with @lady-quen of Maelmordha!! I do love a man who can't quite seem to keep their skin (bark?) on their body 💓💞💖 I had so much fun with this piece, and I love mael's color palette. it was great to finally have a chance to draw him!!
(and ty quen for being so patient with me while I fumbled my way through these last few weeks)
I say this with 0 jugment and honestly mostly just approval/respect but after seeing that charr head tunnel I'm 100% sure a lead designer at anet is into vore
the face scrunch? The spit drops?? Idk maybe I'm just kink brained but this + how many bosses and events have you get eaten and fight in the stomach of are selling it for me
Dug through some (really old now, oops) screenshots of characters I saw in the wilderness that I wanted to try drawing sometime, and finally got round to some of them! Entirely salads this time, but what can I say, the technicolour aspect of sylvari is just too enticing to me hahaha.
(And now I pray I didn't mess up details bc of how tiny my screenshots actually were LOL)
Things the Commander has canonically eaten, ranked
1-Tasty meat, Blazeridge steeps.
Self explanatory. It’s good meat!! Good enough to give you magic. Eat this. Please eat this.
2- Fragrant Cactus fruit, Silverwastes
It’s fruit I guess. I know what good meat tastes like but I don’t know what prickly pear tastes like so. It says in the description it smells good, so that’s promising.
3- Raven Tonic, Snowden Drifts
It’s booze with a neat party trick, turns you into a Raven! How fun is that! However it is ale that turns you into a raven, so it can’t be higher than actual food.
4- Morgan’s Orchid, Caledon Forest
All of the descriptions surrounding this say that eating it is a transcendent experience. But also that’s a flower that you just ate. Why did you eat a flower. What the fuck.
5- Skrittsburgh Special, Brisban Wildlands
This is some kind of booze. It’s apparently rancid smelling and has some fur in it, and it was made by Skritt. That alone should clue you in to how I feel about everything else on this list, since this is “edible.” It’s described as a “thick hearty beverage.” and really seems like more of an acquired taste, as long as you are a weird goblin rat. The reason it’s this high, is until after you drink it, it’s descriptions are neutral. The Commander needs to be stopped.
Revenge piece for (at) caelleth on art fight! They don't have a tumblr it seems, but I still really wanted to share here ^v^
