I think it's interesting that we get asked whether we'd save the farm or not.

For people who claim to have been watching us (from what I remember, going through the story only once so far doesn't make every little thing stick fully) it's like... have you really taken in what the commander is doing?

Everyone gets saved, we make time to help the farms or the travelers or one injured person on the way. And only then does the commander move on to the bigger thread.

Thier personally feels... responsible to help as much as possible. It's stressful and it's not easy but... he has to. Even when people might not be grateful or even hate him. He can't be liked by everyone but still, he will help.

― your muse’s name:  

Magister Pukh/Prosthetist Pukh

―  a favorite picture/face claim of your muse:

― two headcanons you have for your muse:

- Since the story choice I ran with for my initial run just trying out the game was Synergetics, I decided to keep this for Pukh going forward. This led to the concept of Pukh becoming friends with Zojja during their time with the college, and as such, their entire view of Destiny’s Edge is originally filtered via the lens of the group’s Elementalist. Pukh goes into the meetup at level 40 with a lot of very tainted ideas about how these people actually work. Since the dungeons focus on the members of DE making up, and not us personally bonding with them? Pukh KEEPS a lot of these tainted views well into LW1, LW2, and hell, even into Heart of Thorns. Catch them not bonding with Rytlock until PoF as a result and even now bordering on antagonistic with Logan

- When Pukh went through Omadd’s Machine, it retroactively messed with a few things for them. For one, both in the present, the past, and the future, they became tangentially aware of their own AUs. Via dreams, hunches, gut feelings, deja vu, you name it, Pukh has probably had some awareness of an AU via it. Be it the version of the story where Trahearne somehow survives as a giant centipede monster, or the version of the story where they’re actually an eight-foot-tall Roegadyn woman in Eorzea, or even things with something just slightly to the left. As uncomfortable as it is, it tends to blend in with PTSD symptoms? and is easily ignored during times of great stress. Usually. Maybe

― three things that your muse likes doing in their free time:

- Cooking, baking, and just about anything in the kitchen! Pukh was never fantastic with things like chemistry, but cooking is a hobby that benefits EVERYONE

- Sending letters to old friends who aren’t otherwise kept in touch with. Think people like their old krewemates (shoutout to Pol, hey Anet put him back in the game please?) or people from the Pact who aren’t really in active front-lines stuff anymore

- Pet pampering. Pukh did start as a ranger, and as a result, has a friggin menagerie of collected companions that deserve to be spoiled rotten

― seven people your muse loves/likes:

- TRAHEARNE, to a problematic degree, in fact! Like many commanders, Pukh’s time with the Pact made a big impact, and even if they hadn’t become romantically involved, he’d at the very least be a dear friend. Their start was rocky enough to quite literally count as violent, with Pukh outright injuring him directly once, but fortunately, the two are decent communicators and worked their way up from there

- Aithne, a sylvari demolitionist of @nekhs​‘ with a history in the Whispers. Holder of the figurative baby leash in terms of keeping Pukh from acting on anything too rash or inflicting any lasting harm on themselves or others. (Unless necessary or deserved, Phlunt)

- Phari, @tired-gay-and-a-dj​‘s norn soulbeast with a thick accent and a heart nearly as big as her snow leopards are. They met during the events of LW2, and while their friendship started incredibly rocky, they had their trauma bonding and would both literally and figuratively kill for each other

- Taliesane, @thelittlestnorn​‘s once-ranger, now revenant. Metamour and dear friend, the two met during the campaign against Zhaitan and despite starting as someone Pukh despised, they ended up pillars of each other’s support systems. Though, if they ever find out the extent of exactly WHO Tali’s channeling a lot of the time, blood may be spilled

- Technically in an AU, at the moment at least (who knows about rift shenanigans,) but @addakax​‘s Dross and Pukh have a storyline where they’re co-commanders, essentially, much in the same way Pukh is co-commanders with Phari and Aithne in the more ‘mainline’ canon they’ve got. Pukh may see him as an absolute disaster but loves him all the same. Also all of his cats

- @a-blue-tree-man​‘s Willamenah is somewhat of a cross-dimensional adopted son to Pukh, despite the fact that he’s approximately....uh... probably many hundreds of years older than they are. Due to the situation with Omadd’s Machine, and the developing...symptoms that Pukh has had from it, it gives the two more in common than either would like

(honorable mentions to the many AUs I have with friends, you know who you are, it just made me pick seven)

― a phobia your muse has:

Pukh is actually fairly afraid of the dark. Not NORMAL darkness, mind you. I’m talking pitch black, not low-light. I headcanon that asura probably have decent low-light vision, but it’s unlikely that they can see in actual pitch-black darkness. The first time Sieran took Pukh into a ruin, she got to experience her new partner stranding themselves on a rocky outcropping and crying until she came back.

i feel a bit sorry for people who follow me for art bc it's currently all salad art

[warmaster-aranaies]

i suffer from a disease called "being more into a character than the person who the character technically belongs to". Vy is of @commander-thiernaen​

[addakaxart]

college riding my ass and general headspace making me feel like a patch of moss ain’t gonna stop me from loving my friends!!!!!!

i puked this out in like. four hours in which i forfeit my homework because for once it wasn’t a final graded assignment, plus i really needed to unwind with some fast doodles. some of the frames are suuuper messy but that was kind of the idea. also got to use enough smear frames for a looney toons episode, and they’re actually really fun to use!

Anyway!!! We’re featuring characters from: @a-blue-tree-man, @procession-of-blades @commander-thiernaen, @morgueanite, @thelittlestnorn, @nekhs, @lostmylongbow, @commander-daine, and @lionsarchlabs! Fantastic people with fantastic ocs, as well as Trahearne and Canach from Guild Wars 2!

Neither the song used or any of the characters shown belong to me!

chilled with @mystery-salad and @commander-thiernaen for a bit in game today! Had a fun time getting beat up while helping folks with the costume brawl daily!

[commander-thiernaen]

After stewing a little on SotO...

I think being called Wayfinder instead of Commander is almost a relief for Thier. Generally he prefers people call him by his name, no fancy titles. Something new, something fresh, where no one puts him on a pedestal, expects him to save the world. He's following orders for once.

It's not that Thiernaen didn't enjoy the attention and everything he got with being THE Commander, a dragons champion, but it got... a little much eventually, it taking up every facet of his life that it did leave him a little.. lost because he's gotten so used to being needed and possibly getting called on at any moment.

Though he did enjoy the time he got to dig back into his necromancy studies again but there's only so much he can write down and rework and experiment on.
