Cutting in late because timezones but

I hold up Thax blurrblade (I am holding up the misspelling I made as a teen he just made up a name he thought was cool as he's non-legion) to you like simba.

He's a mesmer with an innate talent for mirror magic and prismatic manipulation. His biggest "trick" is that he can imprison people inside a mirror and then use that mirror as a focus for a disguise. He takes on their appearance perfectly and gains an understanding of their memories and mannerisms. Additionally he can also replicate their skills (though not always with 100% effectiveness)

WAHOOOOO MESMER MENTION!!!!

Ooooh the concept of mirror magic is super cool!!! I love the fact it has a more psychological impact re: Apperance, memories and mannerisms. Has this at all backfired before? Like maybe picking up really shocking memories? And Im assuming it only works if theyre still imprisoned within that mirror right? This is so cool! I love adding upon how incredibly powerful mesmers can be! Is there any sort of morals he imposes on himself regarding this? Or does he not think too much about it? :0

--

This is pretty unrelated but in terms of like imposing limits on magic: Leo absolutely refuses to summon minions or bind spirits no matter what, even if it's not "permanent." He has such a huge respect for spirits and sees what happened to the ghosts of Ascalon as an absolute terrifying fate for those it affected, he doesn't touch anything within that realm of Necromancy. His relationship with Spirits empowering him is symbiotic and due to helping them so they in turn help him! And as far as minions go he just doesn't personally like the idea of creating things just for acts of violence or to serve him, since he also sees creation as sacred!

Meteo Hightail, of the Tail Warband. Blood Legion Warrior who joined @alta1r1an's Pythus Swifttail's warband in fahrar because they had opposite fur colours.

He is high energy, full of speed and oh so very fluffy. He gets himself into all sorts of shenanigans alongside Pythus, including numerous challenges and bets.

This winter hasn't been so rough (we've had some dark days)

Oh, it was cold, but still, it wasn't cold enough (we're in the thick of it now)

To freeze the blood beneath my spine (and when the ice breaks)

At least I'll survive

(Dark Days, PUP)

Aereth belongs to @alta1r1an o7

My top 5 video game characters

If you've been tagged, you can ignore it, but I'm gonna tag @telltalecoyote, @wisp-enclosure, @alta1r1an, @nullvoidface, @meeeeeeese, @brightwingedbat, @fregion-bond-breaker, @quintiliusheartripper

[praise-joko]

Some tags that I really appreciate from my endeavors at sorting out the timeline.

You have no idea how much I needed to hear that. Thank you, @alta1r1an . My sense of time sucks, and I've been up to my head in so many numbers they've become meaningless. It wasn't connecting that 43 days is over a month. 6 weeks.

@mistfallengw2 I get the feeling I'm going to have to (╥﹏╥). I hadn't looked at anything beyond LWS4 yet, but yeah, that year gap between HoT and S3 is strange. You'd think the memorial would have been done long before that.

There's no way I'm going to have a timeline sorted by the time nano starts, but I have enjoyed sharing this process with the community. It's given me some good insights.

When I do decide on a timeline of events for myself, I'll post it for y'all to peruse.

☝️ @alta1r1an’s tags on my prev post LITERALLYYYYYY

i’d say smth abt fandom just not being comfortable with women having agency & bodily autonomy or taking up “too much” space with their character beats, but honestly there’s not an npc in guild wars i haven’t seen belittled for voicing sadness, anger, or doubt or having motives that occasionally diverge from or run counter to the player’s goals. it’s like. we want characters in our games…………. right?

[commanders-sole-braincell]

So like, here's an idea. Generally like the idea that it's just a Dragon's Watch pasttime to heckle Rytlock. Cos he's just fun to pester, and Crecia sure loves it. But like, with the amount of stress the old man is under now. What if at some point some point one comment lands directly on a sore spot, and at this point he's gonna have alot, and the guy just starts straight up crying. I'm talking like gross sobbing. How do you even react to a guy like Rytlock crying. Might be interesting idk

Oh I love this, I love this so so much ;u; Anet...fanfic writers... GIMME

Okay I’m a big ole’ sap - so my immediate thought is DW just freezing as they process the fact the big scary angry charr who launched himself out of the mists cuz “make me” is his motto; just started bawling like a bairn because Canach snarked at him is to just dog pile him with apologies and affection (in their own ways)

Like for a good half a minute everyone’s just loading and their brains flatline. I think Braham cracks first tbh, dude’s very emotional and is likely to lose the least amount of fingers if he hugs the angry cat - and that probably prompts everyone up to give comfort. Kas is handing him a hilariously small in comparison handkerchief and wiping at his chin, Jory is trying to joke away the pain by sassing Canach, who’s openly being a big target and encouraging Rytlock to snark at him to make himself feel better. Taimi is rubbing his fur and snarking at Canach too - Gorrik is offering his bugs to be pet (Try this one - he’s really friendly!) 

Commander probably hugs Rytlock and offers to let him punch them or get him to use Sohothin (’do you want me to call Logan’ ‘Piss off’) or something else batshit

Someone probably tries to call Rox (probably Braham) (’We broke Rytlock!’)

nearby warbands or Crecia just ????? wtf do we do look away?? (although Cre probably calls him a big softie later and gives him a one armed hug)

Kheir's struggles between being gay and upkeeping his cool quiet Ash Soldier image to the other legions, especially Blood.

Pythus (& his thighs) are @alta1r1an's

(The Horns refers to Kheir's grandsire Gaius Horncleaver's warband.)

[goosdra]

Oh boy haven't done this in a while,

Favorite color: I'm that basic bitch who likes black, but also deep greens. Reminds me of forests I used to do stupid shit in as a teen.

Last song listened to: Maybe I'm Crazy by Monarchy. Not for any particular reason, it just came up in a random shuffle of old songs I like. Usually just listen to video game music while focusing on work. Stuff with lyrics distracts me too much.

Currently reading: Going through a re-read of the Out of Position series by Kyell Gold. Discovered them last year and I love those goobers Dev and Lee.

Currently watching: I honestly don't watch TV shows much at all. Looking forward to the next season of Bleach TYBW this year though! Might go check out Kaiju No. 8 soon too.

Currently craving: I mean...I just finished up a giant plate of butter chicken so I'm kinda pooped. Maybe like a nice lemonade to sip before bed.

Coffee or tea: I don't enjoy the taste of either outside of camomile tea. Usually just drink water or my bootleg dr pepper.

Let's see here....I can tag @bigwoofsy, @rooktheroo, @perle8, @alta1r1an, @violight-ghost, and @winterwolf-25. Go nuts kids

Got tagged by @qrevo on one of those Get to know me tag games (pretty awesome)

Favourite colour: Uhhh... Big fan of black, you know? Most of my clothes are black and it is nice on my eyes. Also, it reminds me of my cool, yet wicked soul. I also like gray a lot.

Last song listened to: I have not been really on a music mood these last months, but I did recently download ACTIVE PAIN on my phone because I could not find it on my usual music places. It plays at the end of the Umineko chapter three tea party and I like the lyrics because they are about Ange (good character). That does not really give any new information about me, so I will share some songs I have had on loop recently. Una Nube Cuelga Sobre Mi, song for my lost ghost friend, and Spinning Wheel

Currently reading: I have not been on a reading mood lately, so I am not exactly "currently" reading it, but Umineko (still at chapter six), which is my current obsession (you should read it), and Higurashi (still at chapter two [also read this one])

Currently watching: I have not been on a mood to watch movies or series (starting to see a pattern) and I am not a big fan of watching them anyways, but I was watching Revolutionary Girl Utena last year (I stopped at the end of the Black Rose arc, still a really interesting anime). And I am not sure if it counts, but I have been watching a lot of survival horror games from Toaster's channel (I really like horror games[they are interesting])

Currently craving: I could really use several boxes of pizza right now and maybe weed

Coffee or tea: I am scared of coffee and tea has never tasted particularly nice to me. I usually just drink water

Apparently I got to tag six people so uhhh... @dogboyrufus @snowiewowee @no1withablog @bitchboi-gogurt @goosdra @when-they-meow and you 🫵 unless you do not want to

alta1r1an replied to your post “astralarias replied to your post “hey real quick when’d Rytlock get...”

My gaze is drawn to Rytlock's biceps pretty often and pretty sure that shoulderpiece has always been there (also how do people do that replying to tags/replies in a post, where do I find the tumblr magic books)

FHDGRAJGAF I mean it’s charr biceps they’re all good (apart from Bangar’s)

My Commander just lacks object permanence that’s my excuse
