Lapdogs, All Of You!

Ish | 18+ | Mostly Warcraft fanblog | The Defias Did Nothing Wrong | Not an RP Blog | 90% of my commentary on Warcraft/Azeroth stuff is effectively IC as Vanessa anyway bc it's funnier that way

[warcraftish]

Playing MoP Remix has only heightened my observation of the fact that Sylvaina is, was, and always will be a completely demented ship made 100% by literal, actual males with penises and male sensibilities.

The entire Isle of Thunder daily questline is basically Vereesa running around and throwing heart eyes at Jaina, which would be noticeable if you were like a normal-ass queer ACTUAL woman who actually cared about lore, and not a pornsick male who basically just went "two blonde boobie ladies, they must be lesbians, let us ignore their entire actual history and personalities!!!!!!!!". Shades of "Jaina is alt-right and in BFA she'll have her political homecoming!!", which, given the 4chan trajectory of a lot of these dudes, really isn't at all surprising.

Also WHEE TREASURE RUNS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Alright I got more likes than I was expecting talking abt doing this, so we're going to play 'Is the writing sexist?'

A woman is ripped from her home, turned into a monster, and tortured by a man who intends to use her to kill her more successful younger brother. When she's saved, her trauma is more or less forgotten about as she's made an accessory to another man, reduced to just standing silently beside him when he shows up.

is the writing sexist?

Yes

No

@mocca-latte-in-my-veins sorry, fixed that! And that's Warcraft writing, baby!

[warcraftish]

Wait, who on earth is this about?

The answer is like "it depends" but also "lol dudewriting", basically.

[daphrona]

It's a surprise! I'll announce it with the verdict when the poll ends.

[warcraftish]

Can you at least give an "it depends" option and also a "lol richard knaak" option?

Honestly if Khadgar started demanding blue items from us to eat would any of us even bat an eye.

[warcraftish]

Girl, that happened 4986 Apexis crystals ago.

[daphrona]

What's the over under on Arator showing up in TWW. It's like significantly less than half right.

[warcraftish]

He's either finally going to be a major character in this arc, or just not show up at all.

[daphrona]

Alleria probably thinks she's a "fun mom"

[warcraftish]

The "fun mom" of that trio would be Sylvanas and she'd be right.

Also Lirath.

[daphrona]

Unfortunately Nathanos shot blanks, unlike Turlayon when he fucked a Windrunner once, so we'll never know.

[warcraftish]

Man, that's what I get for focusing on the "Anduin being miserable" parts and not the Sylvanas bits, because I missed that implication.

Contra that one meme everyone loves, a world where she and Nate adopted Voss would have been interesting. Or if Vereesa actually gave in and let her turn her and the kids. Or any number of scenarios, really.

So when you want to turn your experience off, the icon it uses is... the Defias mask. Blizzard what is the meaning of this???

Samwise Didier retiring, I'm posting his 27+ year old keyboard

[warcraftish]

How the fuck are his keycaps still so nice. There is no way in hell a keyboard that old should still have all of its lettering visible unless he replaced them, but the then they ALSO have a layer of what looks like carefully aged grime on them.

Ripping off the caps lock/windows keys is a neat hack, though.

[warcraftish]

The fact that Anduin/Knaifu could well be On... the possibilities are staggering.

[daphrona]

New Anduin click on quotes datamined: if you click on him enough he starts getting a PTSD episode because you keep touching him

[warcraftish]

Link?

[warcraftish]

I mean.

[warcraftish]

They really just came out and made World of Warcraft: Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder, huh?

[wowhead]

do people really think they're gonna do cataclysm classic? like...i can't say i'd be surprised if they did bc people would play it but doesnt that sort of defeat the purpose of classic wow. and if they do cata, where will it stop? would they do mists? WOD? i think it needs to stop at wrath

[wowhead]

also are people forgetting that cataclysm sucked? like it was a bad expansion

[warcraftish]

I think they'd make way more money doing Classic Plus, but it's Blizzard, who knows.

[daphrona]

Got jump scared opening a chest

[warcraftish]

That One Chinese Guild, though.

Words of a tank who pulled all the trash to the 1st boss in heroic neltharus without waiting for everyone to load into the dungeon

[warcraftish]

Anyone who thinks the WoW of today and the WoW of 20 years ago are the same game wasn't playing 20 years ago, even if they've played some "classic".

Also lol if you can't handle heroic neltharus as a guardian druid in current catchup gear completely solo you're a weak scrub who ain't shit and doesn't understand what the shields along the first corridor are for. In fact, it's proof positive you never did BWL when it was anything remotely resembling progression/current tier content and did not understand what the actual lesson of BWL was. neltharion tutorialized us well, by elune!

Like there was a lot of tutorializing shit in BWL (decursing lol, the importance of crafting/utility classes and running a bench/still doing some old content for ie onyxia cloaks), but there was one profoundly overwhelming game mechanic that BWL was designed not even necessarily by gods but by the very Spirit of Triangle to teach people and it governs everything that went wrong in that little anecdote.
