I am so happy with what they are doing with Chandra and Nissa, like its so fucking amazing just to see these Gruulfriends together. The newest story is just well done imo, like the mixture of tension in their relationship, Nissa's struggle with her new reality, along with the love and care Nissa and Chandra show each other just makes short story so well done. They are gay and they fucking show it in this story, its front and fucking center.

Also love how they walk into the unknown together just like Korra and Asami did at the end of The Legend of Korra.

Decidedly whatever this is

So, unless happening otherwise I headcanon Chandra taking Nissa with her back to Kaladesh at some point.

While I am sure that Nissa's mental recovery from being compleated is only possible on Zendikar, her beloved home, the physical markings of her being Phyrexian are not something that can be adressed there. In her card, we see both her arms have been cut off below the elbow and replaced with phyrexian copper. And I bet those aren't the only things that Teferi mentioned had to remain.

So Kaladesh? Well, Saheeli and other artifivers are there. Pia Nalaar as well. And I headcanon that Chandra suggests replacing the phyrexian metal and crude design with some true and beautiful craftsmanship of Kaladesh. To help Nissa recover physically as much as possible as well. And what better way than turning what remains of Phyrexia's touch into something that says "This is us. Our plane prevailed."

Gruulfriends Forever

[i-am-rano]

For the most ridiculously popular traditionalist faction that are "The Mages" in every fantasy universe, we get WAY to little of the "queer scandalous mage who will do anything to protect the ones they love".

And lemme tell you, I still EAT IT UP EVERY. SINGLE. TIME.

Like please, just give me another Merrill/Solas (yes, I headcanon Solas as pan, like everyone does)/Dorian/Anders/Chandra Nalaar/Nissa Revane/Jaina Proudmoore (look at her and tell me this isn't a bisexual) and the list goes on. Still not enough tho

As is only right.

"Open the Way" ♥️💚

"I miss you too," Chandra says. Tears burn in her eyes. "I miss you so much. But I can't. I'm sorry."😢💔

(I'm fine...I'm fine..I'm..good)

Sometimes I think about how interests come and go in waves, and I wonder why things happen the way they do. Right now, for instance, I can't think of a single Western animated series that has the same kind of fan energy that, say, Steven Universe or Gravity Falls or the Owl House did. I'm sure they're out there, but there's also something that's missing in the field, largely due to the animation industry being on a general downswing in America. (Yes we're all hooked on Dungeon Meshi and Frieren right now, but that's another story.)

Likewise, it feels like the Magic the Gathering story fanbase has been in a rut. And there are a lot of factors for that, but I want to point out what I think are the two biggest culprits: the overprinting of Legendary cards for Commander and the decentralization of the story branch of the creative team at WotC.

It's on my mind today because the Thunder Junction Epilogue stories by Alison Lührs (one of the most loved writers from the most recent high point and arguably the best professional author of Jace x Vraska there's been) were a breath of fresh air. They came out and gave fans what they wanted in Magic story - character-driven narratives.

Sure, the endpoint was Jace and Vraska adopting an adorable plot device baby to bring the story into its next arc. But we got to learn more about Jace and Vraska, as well as understand why they think the way they do and why that makes them act the way they do. Laying there dying, Jace faces his guilt and begs his mother to save them. When the topic of marriage and children comes up, they're completely in sync and Jace knows exactly where to find a parentless child. But the most important part is that we're with these characters while they act out the plot, rather than watching characters react to the plot. As much as I love, say, Kaito and the Wanderer, neither one of them had much agency over the story as it marched steadily toward invasion.

I truly hope that we get more storytelling like this. I hope that we can see the characters be themselves and see why that's important in the ongoing sagas.

But it wasn't just Jace and Vraska we fell in love with back in the time of Ixalan. We had Chandra and Nissa and Ajani and Gideon and Liliana and Jaya and Kaya and Teferi and Ral and so many others. Hell, Bolas was the most fun villain I'd seen in any media in a long time specifically because we spent time with him as he plotted and schemed.

And that was the grand promise of the Lorwyn Five, wasn't it? A storyline that could follow our favorite characters, and have them make choices that affect the entire narrative. Even if it were years between appearances, it felt like our favorite characters could show up at any time. Now with the mass desparking and the Omenpaths, that doesn't feel like such a good thing anymore.

I guess what I'm trying to say is, I hope that going forward we get more of the character-driven narratives that defined the best period in the history of Magic's story. I hope that this isn't a one-off, bringing in an author who clearly still has that way of writing. I'd love to see more about how characters and planes are recovering from the Invasion and the existence of Omenpaths.

But more than that, I want the fans to be excited about Magic Story again.

I have a great need! 💚❤️‍🔥

I seriously fucking swear, if WotC doesn't give us a Nissa/Chandra commander duo in the next Zendikar set, I will kill someone. We NEED the Nissa and Chandra partner commanders asap. And if they're made for a precon, it's name better reference that they're dating. Mark Rosewater, make this happen.

If you know it, Gruulfriends (Chandra X Nissa) from Magic the Gathering for ship meme

I haven’t played Magic for a long time so idk who they are unfortunately.
