#Mai Trin

[guildtree]

I've been rotating this audio log in my head since I first heard it, so I thought I'd test my comic skills with a little visual depiction of it! Scarlet's manipulation of Mai is fascinating to me, and I think Mai's murder of Captain Ashford is where she really drank the Kool-aid so to speak.

(for the love of God please zoom in, there is so much effort I put into this that I'll probably ramble about later)

GW2 Unused dialogue: Flirty lines?

So here's a fun one ;)

During my deep dive into the Living World S1 related dialogue lines in the game, I stumbled across a flirty line from Jory that I hadn't heard before. I didn't think much of it at the time, since several of her regular lines are rather flirty. But then I found one for Braham. And then Rox. And then I started to pay attention.

For most characters, there are blocks of what I like to call 'generic' lines. These blocks tend to be separate from the story-specific lines and ambient conversations, and include things like event-related chatter (let's go, follow me, go on ahead, etc), greetings, yes/no, calls for help, battle cries, etc. And I noticed some of the "thank you"/gratitude lines were almost always preceded by some kind of flirty line (and a few aren't, it's kinda messy haha). So I ran through all the other characters and pulled what I could find.

Not all named characters seem to have these though, and I might have missed one or two that weren't obviously flirty. There's also a chance that some of these are part of ambient conversations I'm not aware of, but most ambient conversations tend to be separate, so I dunno. Like I said; kinda messy.

I've separated them into two groups: Named NPCs and un-named NPCs

Marjory Delaqua: "Mmm, mm, mmm. You can walk into my bar any old time." Braham: "You'd look great in a bear skin." Rox: "I like you almost as much as meat!" Magnus the Bloody Handed: "You look like a kindred spirit. You like winter sports?" Evon Gnashblade: "You like gold? Jewels? I bet you do." Vorpp: "Hello beautiful. Are there anymore at home like you?" Scarlet Briar: "Hello, you're pretty cute. For a drone." Captain Mai Trin: "Do you have what it takes to be my First Mate?" Magister Tassi: "What do you say? You, me, a little romantic stroll through the library, hmm?" Mad King Thorn: "Heey! How would you like to be queen for a day?" Bloody Prince Thorn: "Mmm, you're as luscious as blood in the moonlight."

Lionguard 1: "Hey, good lookin'." Lionguard 2: "My shift's about to end, how about a drink?" Aetherblade 1: "Hey baby, wanna ride on an airship?" Aetherblade 2: "I'm all business. But I'm all pleasure too." Aetherblade 3: "Hey there, hot stuff." Zephyrite 1: "I feel a spark between us." Zephyrite 2: "You outshine the sun." Zephyrite 3: "Did I see a glint in your eye?" Zephyrite 4: "I feel balanced, now that you're here."

I drew one of my favourite people (Mai Trin) with her favourite people (her cats)

i barely know this character but my god is this art gay

[condensed-ink]

Nobody:

The person in charge of GW2's art department: Y'know what? Fuck it. Give Mai Trin some chiselled abs and thunder thighs. Also throw in some massive mommy milkers just to be safe.

Okay blah blah whatever all serious analysis of Mai Trin and her untimely demise out of the room for a sec but I do wish that we had gotten more of her I wish she had lived a little longer mainly because I wish she had been in the scene where we find Canach and his stupid fucking midlife crisis suit like, okay okay they knew each other. They spent almost a year in prison right next to each other and you know I don’t think they liked each other and you know there’s an obvious sort of parallel between the two and how their lives have gone and what they’ve done in the past 10 years  and that could be interesting more importantly Canach did not like Scarlet, canonically, because she did not pay any attention to him when they were saplings.  Mai is as mention fucking haunted by Scarlet boom we have my deep desire to see Canach and Scarlet bite each others dicks off fulfilled that’s great but also like Canach definitely remembers her and I don’t think that Captain Mai “Oh... right, Dragon bash.” Trin has a damn clue about who the fuck Canach is despite having spent a year in prison together. And that would drive him fucking insane.

And that’s not even getting started on the fact that he’s running a nightclub on a stolen aetherblade ship and technically Mai can’t get mad about it because it is really useful right now and technically she’s not the aetherblade’s captain anymore but you know that she would be so pissed about it

Here's my gift for @guildtree! I drew you Mai Trin and Scarlet Briar

Here's a few revenant headcanons too!

Invoking a legend, especially a very strong-willed one, will affect the Revenant in ways they typically don't expect. For example, one invoking Jalis Ironhammer might find themselves more comfortable when fighting underground, or might find themselves having a strong- or stronger hatred towards Primordus, one invoking Glint might findthemself having feeling of wanting to care for Aurene and Vlast that doesnt really make sense to them, and one invoking Kalla Scorchrazor might find themselves craving a meatpie.

Revenant's find their thoughts straying more often, not to anything in specific usually, but sometimes the thoughts of their echo will start to drift to them.

Anddd they never feel lonely! No matter if they are alone or not they always feel someone by their side or behind them. Depending on the legend, this could be a comforting or unsettling feeling for them.

And thank you to @gw2giftexchange for setting this all up! I really hope you like it ୧〳 ＾ ౪ ＾ 〵୨

[RE-UPLOADED AS I FORGOT TO TAG CHARACTERS AND COULD NOT EDIT OG POST]

Sooooo doing these isolated line recordings is been pretty fun, so I have a question for ya'll

The lines of the "winning" NPC will be released slowly along side Rama's. But will become more frequent once I am done with Rama's isolated lines!

Reblogs are apricated :D
