2/9/25 Daily Writing Challenge Poem : "Hypnotic/Star"

The Night we Met:

Petals on the flagstone paths distract me,

From this Rendezvous beneath a starlit sky,

Charm and guile you had plenty,

And found within a courage I cannot Deny,

I was lost in all the what had been before,

All the words I’ve practiced lost to your smile

How could I have guessed that I’d want more?

That I would gladly lose myself all the while.

I am but a shattered star with a Crooked Lantern Heart,

And you a Dancing Lily Prince,

Yet you have had me hypnotized within your Art,

You’ve had me dancing ever since.

evening party in Suramar

oh no, my brainrots are colliding.

In a conversation with @asleepyy, I was talking about where I'd place their character Yìchén if he were in World of Warcraft, and based on my descriptions, we decided on Nightborne, due to their refined culture, seriously messed-up backstory, and cute little fangs. So of COURSE I had to draw him!

... actually, I'm a little freaked out at how well it fits him.

i know it probably never will be but im sad that suramar city isnt/cant be a normal city like any other. like, even if they had it so it could be phased between being a normal city and the quest fighting thingy that it is now, similar to how the undercity is a city that can also be phased to be completely inaccessible for plot reasons

like idk, suramar city is just BEAUTIFUL, and its also massive, so its just a shame that its basically just completely hostile and unusable outside of some quests.

can you imagine that place if it was a city? being able to walk around it unbothered? not to mention the roleplay potential if one so pleased lol. i think its a shame how some of the most beautiful places in the game are the ones that we dont get to spend much time in.

Feb '25 DWC Day 2 - Cage/Power

'Suramar, our haven, our sanctuary, our prison.' He was tall for his age, yet he'd barely lived past his thirties if I had to guess. Young for our people, though I'd seen Elisande and her court do far worse to even younger especially in recent years. His fingers slid along the stone plaque at his side. Words depicting the Frozen Friends exhibit within the menagerie. Despite his fingers sliding along the magically etched Shalassian, he wasn't reading it at all. He could care less what it said. He already looked far better than he had when I found him. At least he had some color in his skin once more and didn't appear to be just skin and bones. In no time he'd flesh out and make a fine dancer on the Lure's stage. Nathanris was one of the lucky ones, if you dare call such a life lucky. Sivandris, the tycoon himself stood at his side perfectly poised. Not a flaw nor blemish on the lord. Though his features could be described as delicate, there would be no mistaking he was a man who moved with the fluid grace of a dancer. Appearing cruel or indifferent at times, he showed more mercy than other lords and masters of the city. Though make no mistake, he had no qualms giving me orders to do what others would find heartless, vile and detestable. Despite that, he kept himself rather guarded on his true feelings about a great number of things. He'd learned to act with caution in all circumstances despite how dodgy his scheming could be, his higher goals were not what one might expect from such a cold and calculating character. He was an elf I'd grown to respect, a sentiment I had never held for the upper class till I'd met him. Holding his glass of arcwine, Lord Lumenstone offered the other to the much younger elf like it was nothing. Clearly his status had kept him from ever wanting or needing like the younger one he now kept under his wing. A fact that young Nathanris hadn't missed in the least as he cautiously took the gracious offering while they discussed his future. How many had they saved by now, securing a safe haven for many, even those of the resistance under the guise of the illustrious Starcaller Lure. With every new dancer he brought in, more security would be needed. It wasn't a matter of if they could afford it, it was a matter of running out of good elves he could trust. He'd already called in the last of the elite forces he'd found still alive after all these years and had employed them among the Lumenstone's personal guard. And with Elisande's forces constantly at their door, this was a very dangerous game that he continued to play. I watched as Nathanris shook his hand, it seemed we acquired a new dancer for our stage and as an added bonus, one who liked to cook. I listened as Lord Lumenstone promised him the safety and security that he deserved. Both looked to me at the mention of protection, I'd offer them a nod. I'd assign one of my personal detail to him when we returned back at the Lure, I already had someone in mind to get the kid acquainted and set up. I couldn't afford him getting attached to me. I understood how victims held their savior complex with the one who got them out of the mess they were in, especially one as bad as his. But I wasn't a savior anymore than I was a good guy. I was just the necessary guy.

{For the Dress My OC, prompt}

Ms. Nahi,

"I'd seen this gorgeous ensemble in a specialty tailor shop and I thought it so eye catching, but I think it's some artistry that would find a quick path to ruin on me. But I could see you performing in this very fittingly. What do you think?"

A special night had been arranged in the courtyard of Lady Ylorda’s menagerie in Suramar, the crowd was minimal due to space constraints, but Nahi had picked this for a kind of ‘Coming out’ performance. Looking out from an area set up with chairs around a circular paving area, her own circle in the round stage. The night was perfect, no clouds, a new moon so only the stars marked the sky and a temperature that allowed for the formal dress requirement that had been on the embossed invitations sent out over a month before. An entire month that she could have backed out, but didn’t, an entire month that could have her called away to any conflict her company would have responded to, but didn’t. 

For the first time in her life she had butterflies in her stomach for a vocal performance, but this was like no other, this was the night she brought to the audience the piece that had been lovingly crafted for her mother to sing one day. The night when she would make a statement that she was as capable of classical and opera as her mother was, even if no one in the crowd knew of The Diva.

The entrance music for her began to play and she stepped from behind a curtain, black stilettos sounds muffled by a long red carpet that accented the layer of black, blue and gold fabrics that flared at her feet, wrapped around her willowy body, then accented her neck and decolletage with a lace collar and chains. Her hair was smoothed off her face into an updo of elaborate knot work that had more gold chain threaded through it. Gold and charcoal eye shadow was worn with eyeliner that flared out to the side rouge on the apples of her cheeks and a lipstick that was two shades darker than her natural shade was dusted with gold over just the insides of her lips. No heavy powder and caked on stage makeup for the regal version of the performer, just enough to accent the elven angles of her elven features.

Halfway to the stage a spotlight settled on her and the moment she stepped into the circular paving stones the music shifted and the moment of truth arrived…  (Thank you for the lovely inspiration @safrona-shadowsun )
