#Anduin: pls no

[zelsisi]

Funny little tangent

But last night I was in a call for awhile cause me and my dnd group were talking about a mini series that I’ll be running once my Tuesday game ends and before the next one

And it’s brought up that Anduin (who is my current character and I love and adore playing him) is basically a tech priest in the 40k universe.

I’m not into 40k it’s not really my thing but most of my group does

And it’s brought up that if Anduin were to become an omnissiah or worshipped in any way he’d literally be like “WHY?! I’m trying to find a way to tear down the gods! If you continue to do this you’ll have to kill me too!” And literally convince the primordial of Death to come back to slap people over the head that think that.

Reason why is it’s planned that Anduin literally creates the Warforged race in this universe sooo yeah. Funny little tangent XD

[lockree]

what i want is anduin back pls blizz

[anduinwrynngaysex]

Well go on. Tell me what you think would give that man a boner

Oh I'm so glad you inquired

First of all, I've already made my views clear that he is Not a sub bottom. He is Not. He's a dom vers. He's incredibly suppressed and anxious about being too overbearing or losing control and hurting people, so he uses sex as an outlet for that.

I also decided that hes into somno. Call this one a burst of divine inspiration, but I think that Anduin wants, more than anything, trust. He wants to trust and be trusted by someone, and the most intimate possible form of trust for him is sex. There's no hiding yourself in bed. He's literally and figuratively naked. So what's the biggest expression of trust within sex? CNC, somno, free use, etc. it's saying to someone "I trust you so completely with my body and my emotions that you can have complete access to me whenever you want, even if I'm sleeping." Of course there's a lot of anxiety that comes with that, a lot of "are you sure?" and "what if you change your mind?" and reiterating the safe word over and over. I also think sleep in general would get Anduin worked up. I think he would stay up a little later than who he's with, just to watch them sleep. Having someone sleeping in his bed, completely vulnerable, open for any kind of harm to come their way. PTSD and depression and all that also tend to affect someone's sleep schedule, so for him there would be that feeling of being so totally and thoroughly relaxed that he *can* get a good night's sleep with someone.

Next we move on to sex magic: Yes. The light is this holy pure healing force, divine protection from above, it can also be used as restraints/chains and it can be used to cause pain. 100 in 1 sex toy and he's the best at it in the world. Imagine him using the light to suspend me someone up in mid air in spread eagle position. also he's not a holy priest, he's a discipline priest. What I'm saying is he could summon void tentacles. Sex magic.

Finally; Breeding kink. This is huge. This is everything to me. I don't care what anyone else says. Blizzard could come out tomorrow and say "anduin wrynn hates cum" and I'd respond by firebombing them. He is part of a monarchy. There is no way he was not drilled his whole life about "producing the perfect heir" and how do you do that huh? What bodily fluid makes babies? He has been told his whole life his divine purpose to keep the entire world in order is to impregnate someone. Fundamentally, that is what a king is. his bloodline is considered fucking sacred. His jizz is universally considered in that society to be the best jizz. You can't live that life and not end up with funny feelings when you think about barebacking. It's the Reddit post that's like "I used to be catholic cause I was super into the idea of sex only for procreation, turns out that's just a breeding fetish."

Anduin sex post pls enjoy

[sigurdjarlson]

Ooooh!! Pls tell us how they are dropping the ball in TWW. I’d like some tea ☕️

So like I do like some aspects of TWW but imo Khadgar’s fakeout death and Dalaran falling was done quite poorly

Like if you’re gonna kick the expansion off with what we at the time assumed was a major character death you could have at least…had more than 2 characters care about it

I think that’s what bothers me the most? Alleria and Anduin express genuine grief. Mostly Alleria though. Jaina does for a few seconds. And then no one else in the game like ever mentions it.

No members of the council of six, no Medivh, no citizens of Dalaran who may have liked him, nothing.

Turalyon doesn’t say one word about it :(

It just doesn’t work because his death has 0 impact on anyone except Alleria. No one even MENTIONS it except her and Anduin

We have Alleria’s vengeance arc that personally I think could have been much more impactful

For a successful fakeout death you gotta make it impactful, emotional, etc.

And you do that by showing the grief it causes other characters and the effects it has on their actions or what the absence of that character does in general

They do this with literally only Alleria which imo probably doesn’t work for some people either

Like lbr most players haven’t read Beyond the Dark Portal. Their friendship in the game exists mainly in some flavor text and what they try to throw in there in the beginning of the expansion. A little bit in Legion (which was years ago)

They do nothing to make new players attached to Khadgar before killing him (they’re probably like who is that Lmao) or even just refresh the bond some current players who aren’t obsessed with him like me have with him

There’s some very sweet text between him and the player character in the beginning quests (“I’m glad to have you by my side.” I’ll give them that)

For god’s sake Dalaran falling doesn’t seem to do much of anything. Think of Teldrassil (regardless of the shit writing that led to it) how they have you desperately try to save civilians and ultimately be overwhelmed by the smoke.

They show how significant of a loss this is in various ways, show the refugees, suffering, etc

You get a few stragglers from Dalaran who express very mild grief about it imo. Most of it is “it’s a shame we lost so much knowledge” which is very valid Dalaran was full of it but like…where’s the emotional impact bruh

Then of course they give us Khadgar back

On one hand I’m happy he’s not dead. The cinematic was very sweet.

On the other…what was the point except to make Alleria make some impulsive grief fueled decisions?

Literally what was the point of any of that when no one cared and it did not impact much of anything significantly alskdkslf

Personally I think they should have drawn it out longer, really let the loss sink in..but to do that they’d have to actually acknowledge he died lmao

I still don’t like how he got one shot by Xal either. This man can hold his own with Gul’dan and various other powerful characters.

You could have let it be a fight that she just ends up winning but have him actually get to fight. He deserves that.

Idk I just think it was all written very poorly and mainly for shock value. It didn’t do justice to the character but I suppose I should just be happy they let him live

Idk this expansion in general doesn’t really make you feel like anything happened. it leaves you in a lot of ways going “what was the point…of any of that.” By the end of it?

Xal is fun in a way but she’s also very..one dimensional. Some people find that refreshing to be fair. Just someone straight up evil for evil’s sake. I think it’s a bit lazy that she doesn’t have much of a motivation except that.

And they try SO hard to make her the Uber powerful threat and she’s ~so cunning~ but to do it they nerf other characters and make them make dumb decisions and that’s also lazy :|

Like don’t get me wrong there’s some strong aspects to the expansion. (Especially in side quests. We got some real good side quests this expansion but the main quest itself is lacking in some serious ways particularly in regards to how it started)

Mostly I just don’t like that no one cares Khadgar dies. It drives me nuts lmao.

Literally being Medivh’s ass in. That could have been painful. The character he has the closest bond with.

Legion era writing I miss you…

They wanted a Varian’s death situation (except surprise he’s alive) but it didn’t work because none of them put any effort into having other characters react to it except Alleria ._. They rushed it and just kinda dropped the ball.

We got some good stuff. I like the Earthen, Neurbians and Kobolds. I like the Magni stuff with him, Dagran and Moira

I really like Faerin and some other new characters too.

It’s just..I have more examples of them dropping the ball but my brain isn’t working lmao. Mostly I’m mad at how they handled Khadgar and Dalaran which was supposed to kick off the expansion

Also why Thrall in the loading screen (which implies he’s gonna be a big character this expansion) with Alleria and Anduin when he literally doesn’t show up until the end and does absolutely nothing but bring the horde fleet

I guess we should be thankful they kept Metzen on a leash there. It could have been all Thrall all the time but I just think it’s kinda funny like they just threw him in there for no reason (Metzen probably)

I also do hope there are consequences for Anduin bailing on his kingdom. I love him. I totally get it but you can’t tell me his people aren’t gonna lose complete faith in him after he runs off AGAIN Like that.

I don’t mean he should be punished for having completely reasonable reactions to trauma just that..decisions do have consequences especially in regards to running a Kingdom

He’s gonna need to work to regain their faith in him or at least he should have to but idk if Blizz will do that. Like this should severely weaken his people’s faith in him as a leader.

So I'm lazily questing through The War Within because this game has hooks in me and

(spoilers below)

Hangin out with Faelin Lothar and Anduin Wrynn (she's a worthy girlfriend and/or beard) and Anduin just admitted that he kinda liked the whole being controlled thing and she was like "did you like hurting people or did you like not having to make decisions for yourself" and UM EXCUSE ME THOSE OF US WITH A MIND CONTROL THING WOULD LIKE YOU TO BE LESS LOUD PLS???

Anyway Anduin Wrynn has a mind control kink, pass it on.

(also Anduin being like "I CAN'T THE LIGHT ANYMORE" like... girl, try? You're not even trying?)

[nattvingen]

*dragging a metal cup against prison bars* s-spare some awooga pls?

Alms incoming! Tho I think you've read all there is to it (for now), but hey!!! It's a pretty decent fic so far!!!

Modern-ish AU, Varian/Genn, ruh-roh he's hot – it's...!

Awooga.

Liam’s car comes to a stop on the driveway and there is a deluge of youths and even a dog pouring out of there, as Lorna has brought the Crowley’s labrador, Donovan, to splash around in the pool before it’s emptied for the fall. Anduin waves happily at them as Liam ambles over to grab a glass of lemonade, taking it with him inside, bag hanging off his shoulder.

“Finals are coming up, and then university applications, dear me,” Mia sighs, watching him go and tucking her hair behind her ear.

“The relentless progress of time, huh?” Varian half-jokes, and she hums an agreement. “He’s a great kid.”

“We’re doing well at this parenting thing, all of us. Speaking of,” she indicates the car pulling up on the driveway at the front of the house with a small smile, and pours another glass. Genn soon slumps into the third chair with a sigh, tugging at his collar.

“Car’s like a damn sauna. Thanks, dear.” He presses the glass against his red face, groaning as the cool condensation contrasts against the sweat.

“Actually drink it,” Mia admonishes, and he laughs and takes a swallow. Varian looks over as he hears Anduin’s peal of laughter, playing tug of war with the dog.

“Mm, that hit the spot. You alright, there?” Genn’s rolling up his sleeves.

“Hm?” Ah, he must’ve looked some sort of way. Mia, too, is looking at him with some concern. “Well. The other night, we had a… difficult talk, Anduin and I. It’s left me a bit rattled, truth be told. Sometimes I’m convinced he’s leagues smarter than me, and no matter how much I want to help there’s things I plain don’t know, you know? I miss his mother the most, times like this.”

He motions to the way Mia is leaning against Genn’s arm in unthinking comfort.

“You’ve no thoughts of remarrying, then?” Genn asks.

Mia throws her husband a sharp look, but Varian only sighs and shrugs.

“I thought of it. Then I thought better of it.”

And now, now that Anduin’s put these thoughts in his head? Would feel a bit like a betrayal of that part of him, if he has one. Not to mention how disastrous his one fresh attempt had been.

“Just saying. A man has needs, it’s only natural.”

“Genn,” Mia shuts him down, and Varian sits silent, turning his glass around in his hand and watching the lone strawberry bob in there.

“Sorry if that’s too personal.”

“Nah. Just… Mostly I worry that Anduin worries about me being lonely. Moving here has been great, but still.”

“He’s a natural caretaker, that boy,” Mia smiles sadly.

“Didn’t get that instinct from me,” Varian replies. “I want him to focus on his own life, on school and friends. Sports, if he can be convinced.”

“Girls?” Genn slyly suggests, laughing when Mia playfully swats at his bare forearm.

Varian laughs along, despite himself.

“Yeah, something like that,” he says, distracted as Genn tips his head back to swallow down the last of his drink, Adam’s apple bobbing. A single drop of sweat seems to follow the motion down his throat.

Ah.

Aw, shit.

THANK YOU

American here and honestly I think even I would thrive there! There are so many spices and herbs native to Europe (and England in particular) that would be plausible in Tolkien’s world. Flavor would not be lacking, nor would diversity in your meals (it would depend a lot on your geographical location and what season, yes, but if it was a good year you’d have more options than meat and potatoes 🙄)

Sorry for hijacking this, but long post below lol

A hundred different kinds of breads, cakes, bannock, grain-based soups etc. Obviously no potatoes until after the Numenoreans brought New World cultivars to Middle-earth (bc clearly they brought tomatoes and tobacco at that point so idk) but there were parsnips and turnips and other root vegetables that would double as a replacement so OP wouldn’t have to live off potatoes forever. Squash also (it’s hundred different varieties lol) would be an excellent seasonal possibility (and they last for months on end! So you’re good for winter 👍)

and as @eri-pl said about fruits, lots of options!! Some fruits (especially hard apples) can also be kept over winter in cold storage. Other more delicate fruits could be dried and packed (and added to baked goods or meats for flavor, alongside whatever herbs/spices you wanted). Nectar and honey as sweeteners, beet sugar (which tastes like white sugar!) You could even go so far as to make candy with mint and gorse other edible plants, mixed with native sweeteners.

And pickling!! Pickling was common to Europe (and England) and was referrenced as far back as the Canterbury Tales. Vegetables like cucumbers, cabbage, onions and mushrooms ( I know I know, not a veggie) could be preserved in vinegar or salt brine and added to dishes for a nice kick. There’s a fun article (and recipes!) about the history of European pickling here:

And to get even more regional: Rohan would probably have a lot of grain-based foods as well—barley, oats, flax, oatcakes (with or without honey), meads and ales of varying kinds, probably root crops like beets and carrots. (and side note (for me mostly lol): Wild rice is not native to England (or in fact anywhere other than North America) but if it did, I could see it flourishing in the reed beds along the Anduin River and in the Entwash.)

Gondor would have fish and mollusks and other seafood along the shoreline, and maybe seaweed for an umami kick (plus whatever fun spices they’ve imported from Harad), and I’ve always headcanoned grapes (which the Romans introduced to England loooong ago, and there are mentions of wine throughout LotR) found ideal growing conditions in Lebennin, so close to the sea.

Not sure what sad LotR world was posited in the original post, but Tolkien loved trees and plants and I’m pretty sure he would have loved delving into what the British Isles had to offer the culinary world as well. There’s flavors if you know where to look for them.

There’s a nice breakdown here of common herbs and spices and their native English counterparts/possible substitutes that is rather fascinating:

So no, the food wouldn’t be bland, it would just be…not what we in modern times are used to.

Thank you for coming to my TedTalk.

IM SORRY BUT WE WONT SURVIVE ON THE FOOD IN MIDDLE EARTH

Alright so, after looking at the food in Middle earth it does look amazing BUT I WONT BE ABLE TO EAT MY NOODLES OR RICE!! Like I love my po-tat-oes but I can only eat so many until I have had my fill for the week. And let me not even get started on seasoning, Middle earth is based on Europe with a lot of similarities and differences but one small problem with this..... we got OUR SPICES from ancient Egyptian, Chinese, and Indian cultures so what do you my dear readers think the food in Middle earth tastes like? Pepper is going to become hot and salt the new sweet BECAUSE SUGAR IS ALSO FROM ASIA....

But just imagen coming from our world tasting a dish from Lord Elrond or someone else that is an important person and smack talk them for calling pepper spicy. You are going to be standing there and ask if you can make something for yourself cus this shit was so bland and boring. (Spoiler you are going to invent spices right then and there and become super rich and famous, Smaug can go and cry in a corner cus u wont be needing his treasure)

[zelsisi]

( wip meme ask ) could i please ask about 'aragorn : tip of the lance' ?

Thanks for the ask! <3

I know the prompt said brief but this ain't gonna be brief. This is one that I'm really passionate about. xD

Ok. So. Aragon: Tip of the Lance is a D&D campaign that I'm playing in. My character is Anduin Thurarsh, who is in my OC Masterlist pinned to my page.

We've had 25 sessions so far and honestly, other than the game I DM, it is my favorite campaign to play in. Bar none so far.

Its a fantasy setting with 5 nations and one area where we have no clue what's going on. The 5 nations are The Castiya Archipelago, The Imperium Ryos, Carthago, Greika, and The Holy Kingdom of Phairon. Castiya is based off of Spain, Imperium is based off of the Roman Empire, Carthago is based off of northern Africa, Greika is based off of Greece, and Phairon is based off of Egypt. And the one place we have no clue what is going on is call The Blacklands.

We are playing as natives to The Castiya Archipelago, specifically being in Lancer Academy which is the nation's best military school. We're in Class Omega, basically the elites of the military or elites in training. All chosen for different reasons. And our party is very diverse too. (I will be referencing the Five Man Band tropes here xD)

We have Anduin, my character, as a Male Half Orc Artillerist Artificer who is the Leader of the party. Another name for Artificers here are Technomancers. He was chosen because he defended a town single handedly from bandits. Though he has "skeletons in the closet" cause he's keeping secrets from the rest. Basically he's the eldest son of a noble family of the nation and made choices that his family didn't agree with and abused the fuck out of him because of it. Only reason he's hiding it is cause he wants people to know him for him and not his family. His upcoming first character arc will be fun xD

We then have Elirthan, my boyfriend's character, as a Male Elf Apollo Labrys Knight (homebrew class) who is the Lancer of the group. He was picked because he defended a farming village from wargs by himself. We've learned more about his past cause we've had his first character arc. Basically Elirthan is trans. He used to be the daughter of a noble family of the nation and didn't want to continue to be a tool for their politics so a friend helped her become him with magic and surgery and helped him run away. That friend was captured and executed by his family and we were sent to help find "her". We found a book in a secret room with a hatch and Elirthan was revealed to be "her" so we then did a plan that basically gave a big middle finger to his folks. It was hilarious. Elirthan is also a character that Anduin has a crush on.

Next up we have Gastron, a Male Goliath Gula Sinwrought (another homebrew class) who is the Heart of the party. He was noticed because he defended the tavern where he was working by himself. He is the party's cook and really good too. We're getting pampered cause we're at a military school and we have someone who can cook regardless of what they have on hand xD We don't have his backstory yet cause he also have secrets. But he's a really good friend. Always there for the rest. That's why he's the Heart.

Fourth up we have Ordekko, a Male Deep Gnome Divine Soul Sorcerer eventually multiclassed with Bard who is the Smart Guy of the party. He was noticed when he saved a prison guard with magic powers he didn't have before. He's very skittish and shy but he's growing out of it. I honestly thought Anduin would've been the Smart Guy but no xD We've been through his first character arc too. He was in a gang when he was young and took the fall and was in a prison when one of the Six Gods brought an earthquake there and it was destroyed. This is where he was noticed when he saved a guard with magic he didn't have. So he got visions and a voice spoke thru him that was like "find this book in a library under ruins" So we went to the underground where the ruins are and Ordekko cast invisibility on himself and ran from the group with Anduin's homunculus (metal owl named Cai) on his shoulder. Elirthan wanted to go back to Lancer but everyone else was like "Nah. We going after him and giving him a talking to". So the homunculus came back and guided us there and we found the book in an ancient library that no one knew about so we got the find of the century. Also found out the source of his powers is from a God called The Hollow who we thought was only legend. Ordekko then discovered he can undo acts of the Gods with the book. So we know have a mission to eventually take down the gods cause they are pieces of shit but research and gathering strength and all.

Anyways, moving onto number five! We have Justinian, played by the DM (whose my best friend), a Male Champion Fighter who is the party's Big Guy. He didn't necessarily get noticed, it was political things. I'll go into that in a bit. Hits really fucking hard as we found out in combat and sparring. He's from the Imperium and the Heir to House Cerinthus one of the Six Big Houses. He got into Class Omega because of political reasons that we don't know which now Anduin is thinking its for stronger times because a war might be happening. But Justinian is a really good person. We haven't had his first character arc yet but we getting there. Anduin also has a crush on him too.

Number six! We have Angelo, who joined late, a Human Mastermind Rogue who is the party's Sixth Ranger. He'll probably fit into another slot once we've had more sessions with him. We don't know how he was noticed just that he's there and it works well for use cause we didn't really have a rogue. We're waiting on his first character arc as well. Anduin is on the fence with him cause they literally just met while he's known the others more.

We used to have another member but they left so not mentioning them.

Ok. So that's our party xD

We've been taking it really slow and actually going to classes and all, getting to know those in the party to be like "Yeah, they're friends" without too much backstory till now cause C-C-C-CHARACTER ARCS! We meld really well and if you've noticed, all of the party members are boys. And all of us are on the LGBTQIA+ spectrum. Some are Bi, some are Gay (Anduin).

We're now getting to like "main story" arcs too. Justinian is captured and we just fought Shapeshifters last night that were trying to take out the King and military leaders of Castiya and we fucking won. We're rescuing Justinian next session.

There's also SO MUCH LORE AND SO MANY NPCS! I have a google folder that's called Anduin's Notebook, cause Anduin is the notetaker of the group like myself but its after session cause I can't do it during, and that's where all the lore is put and info for NPCs, nations, Gods, party members, gadget ideas and other things. I obviously have my favorites and all but yeah xD

I have so much on them. A lot of text RP too with the DM with NPCs and Justinian.

I'm gonna leave it there for now. But if you got any more questions about Anduin, the lore of the world, or the NPCs, send me an ask and I can respond. I might just do it anyways xD

Daily Writing Challenge - Day 11 - "Moonlight/Watch"

The woods were quiet as the moon hung overhead. But the air was full of tension even with the gentle breeze that wafted through the leaves. Damian had taken a position over 100 ft. away and had his rifle at the ready.

"Darlin', I was pretty sure we retired."

Gaia adjusted the com along with her ear and studied the clearing in front of her. In a low whisper, she answered in kind.

"The world doesn't stop turning even if it's tired. And we just found out what lies in store when we pass on... Might as well get used to the disappointment."

"Just a ray of sunshine you are today," Damian quipped. "Love you too."

She couldn't help but chuckle lightly and think back to the debriefing at SI:7. Ever since she had joined the Alliance, there was an unending stream of orders from King Anduin Wrynn. He was much like his father in the regard that when you are the High King - work is the air you breathe.

At the table in the SI:7 Headquarters, Spymaster Mathias Shaw was quick as ever to summon Commander Damian Jharol and his wife Gaia Jharol. They had been some of his best in the field, and the compensation for protection and promising future for Visenya was too hard to let pass. While Songla was always willing to watch their child and the bronze whelp, it didn't sit well to always take her away from her duties as a healer as well.

"Shall we get to business? Several of our operatives have started to go missing in Duskwood. The former scouts were investigating magical anomalies at the Twilight Grove. While this should fall into the realm of the Emerald Dragonflight or Night Elves, it appears they too have become victim to some sort of attacker."

The Spymaster would straighten his posture and gesture to the map. "Here are several places where our men went missing. Your mission is to investigate what is happening in the Grove and to recover our missing men. Agent Dwight Hailey, Jaclyn Smith, and Jaron Atterton are the agents previously assigned. Report any of your findings over the com to me and stay in the shadows."

"Have you seen anything?" She whispered in her com to Damian.

"Nothing yet."

Just then a few feet ahead of her, she could make out rustling in the bushes leading up to the path into the Twilight Grove.

"Based on the attacks, Damian... it seems random." She adjusted her hood and knelt down to examine tracks that were days old. "Not to mention that we're going on a cold trail."

"Well for now, just stay in your position. I'd rather have my eye on you and your surroundings before trouble finds you. You do have a tendency to draw out the worst of our foes..."

Gaia scoffed and nodded. That was enough conversation while in the field. Especially if they didn't want to alert anyone else... Minutes quickly turned into hours and the suspense of the unknown was putting Gaia on edge. They had been on watch for approximately 6 hours and there were no visuals or signs of foul play.

As she was getting ready to stand, the sound of a blade escaping its sheathe could be heard. Followed by the sound of a gasp behind her. She whirled around as her com chirped in her ear.

"You okay, Gaia?"

"Yeah," she replied before kneeling down to examine her attacker. The features of this woman were hidden by a mask and hood. But she didn't appear to be a bandit or SI:7 secret agent. Her armor was black and the insignia on her chest appeared to be a shape of a talon.

"I think the Blacktalon are involved," she comments lightly.

"The Blacktalon?" Damian's voice repeated over the com. "Well shit."

"I don't imagine our King will be too pleased to hear about the Black Prince Wrathion's involvement here... And it doesn't explain our missing operatives..." Gaia rose from the body with a missive in hand and then reviewed it. A hand slipped up to her com as she spoke."I got a bad feeling about this..."

"Anduin is a wimp" "Anduin is a bad character"

INHALES HERE IS MY RANT, SHADOWLANDS SPOILERS BELOW

His mother was killed just after he was born. His father was missing and Anduin was made king at like, ten. His father returns, split into two people, and then suddenly Onyxia has kidnapped Anduin and is trying to feed him to her whelps. At TEN. Then bam, the Cataclysm starts happening and he watches his friends and good people die and is helpless to save them. He has to watch as Jaina, who is basically his aunt at this point, becomes cold and bitter because of the destruction of Theramore. He gets a goddamn giant bell dropped on his head and nearly dies in Pandaria, ends up with lifelong chronic pain that the Light uses as a walkie-talkie. Then he gets betrayed by Wrathion, who is the closest thing he has to a friend at that point and has the fun experience of watching his bad-future self die to save him. And then Jaina nearly dies too, so that’s fun. Then we have WoD which is just a huge mess (thanks Wrathion).

Oh but that's not all, then Legion happens and suddenly his father is dead. Disenchanted by Gul’dan. Because of (sorta) what Wrathion did. Now he has to be actual king and he's not ready. Yay, we beat the Legion, oh but then Sargeras decides to be an ass and stabs the planet (thanks Sargeras). Now the Alliance and Horde are fighting over the bleeding planet, Lordaeron is a blighted wasteland (thanks Sylvanas) and Teldrassil is on fire. He tries to get the humans and Forsaken to reconcile and be friendly, and that blows up in his face MASSIVELY (thanks Sylvanas and Calia). He's still flailing at being king, and he's somewhere around 17/19 at this point. 

In the BFA cinematic he takes down two orcs in two hits with a sword, he gets knocked down by Saurfang and he gets back up

And then he mass heals the ENTIRE Alliance army

he combines a giant Discipline priest barrier, a paladin healing nova that goes out, AND THE HOLY PRIEST MASS REZ SIMULTANEOUSLY

And then oh good, we've stopped fighting because hello Azshara is back and she's mean, and then bam, Anduin is slowly being corrupted by N'Zoth.

Wrathion comes back, yay friendship, but he's still mad that Wrathion betrayed him and got his father killed (and where even was he during Legion?????) and just when it looks like we've beaten N'Zoth and things can calm down

Sylvanas breaks the sky, the Scourge are invading, I can't use the Auction House for a few days because zombies keep exploding on me, and then suddenly he's being kidnapped by a spooky flappy boi and being dragged into the Maw — you know, the place where the worst of the worst go after death.

You save him in the Maw (before he gets taken to Torghast) and despite being chained up on his knees and tortured for god knows how long, his first reaction when freed is "I'm fine, don't worry about me, I need to heal these people"

He's like 19/21 at this point, and he's one of the most powerful priests in the entire Warcraft lore. He didn’t want to be made king in Legion, he was not ready for it. He was a kid who now has to deal with a world-ending catastrophe of epic proportions and he still desperately tries to find a solution that doesn’t end in bloodshed — incredibly difficult to do when you have Greymane telling you the Horde sucks 24/7 and every single one of your advisors keeps insisting peace with the Horde will never work.

He's a priest using a sword okay, his control of the Light surpasses just about all mortals except Velen, he's basically a paladin/priest combo at this point AND despite all the horrible things that has happened to him and the chronic pain he has suffered since he was FIFTEEN, he still wants peace for everyone and has never abandoned his ideals. Wavered, perhaps, but never abandoned them.

The Light is with him, even in the Maw.

"Anduin is a wimp" stfu you're just mad that he's pretty

And if blizzard kills him off or turns him evil this xpac, I can and will riot

[hello!! I don't usually RP on tumblr and I don't even know if there even are active RPers here but I'm gonna try because if I don't, I might actually spontaneously combust! I've had about 8 years RP experience so I know that much at least haha

I write just about anything tbh, although I exclusively ship Anduin with Wrathion! I'm also the writer of Mason's Folly on AO3 and if you give me the chance I can talk for seven thousand years about Warcraft! I'm currently playing through Shadowlands and I need to talk about that too

Pls give Anduin smooches he needs them
