Thorns and Roses! the whole family 😊

Caira / Rosa / Vince / Laurane / Mabaki The horizontal piece is how I envisioned this piece to be overall but it's not an ideal presentation for Socials so I made the vertical version above.

All the girls belong to @mme-chouette

Separate versions and long text below

I just draw out the whole thing and crop like half of it out LMAO bad habit.

in the OG verse, the kids are all adopted by both Caira and Mbk.

🌹🌹🌹🌹

Rosa (Rosakya) (Thief / Specter) was first. She and Caira already 'met' each other in the Dream. Caira awakens years before Rosa, and when it was Rosa's turn, she went out to search for Caira. She and Mbk butt heads at first as Rosa came to them during the time Mbk finally settled down with Caira, but they eventually came to an understanding with each other when Mbk had helped Rosa control her Specter powers.

Rosa is quite sensitive in sensing other vari's emotions and finds it to too intense at times, which affects her own feelings and thought processes and leads her to emotional outbursts. She also struggled with controlling her own powers as she disliked the feeling of a Specter's ability to give and take life force.

The first time Rosa acknowledged Mbk as a father figure was a slip-up and just accidentally called him 'dad'. He of course just stares at her in shock like, "Is that how you see me?" to which she admits yes, and they hug it out.

She joins the Order of Whispers first, and once Caira comes back from the Wizard's Tower, joins the Astral Ward.

Vince (Vincent) (Revenant) was found by Mabaki during his solo 'patrol' round in Kessex Hills, specifically in Lychcroft Mere. Vince had managed to escape from a small group of Nightmare Courtier's grasps, wounded. When he arrived at Lychroft Mere, the fungal infection had taken over his weakened state, thus making him very sick.

Mbk likes to make rounds in Kessex Hills in search of the Toxic Offshoots for spores, but had found the sick and wounded sapling barely managing to fend off a forgotten/dormant Risen. Mbk comes in to intervene and, discovering Vince's sorry state, and brings him back home to nurse him back to health. With nowhere else to go, Vince ends up staying with them and thus becomes adopted.

Vince is the calmest and independent of the three kids and joins the Priory later, to follow Caira's footsteps in a way.

🌹🌹🌹🌹

Laurane (Guardian) was brought home by Mbk as a helpless Sapling who struggles with keeping focus. They met as Laurane was a recruit for the Vigil that Mbk had to help train (as a group of recruits). Noticing how much she struggled with many things, especially focus and becoming distracted, it had clearly reminded him of Caira's same issue, thus dragging her home in hopes that his wife could help.

Laurane was too 'green' even as a sapling and was adamant she could take care of herself, but Mbk had clearly disagreed judging by the way she acted around others. She had unfortunately not been granted as much knowledge as others from the Dream and it reflected so. Thus Mbk takes on the role of being her mentor and now father figure.

She is the strongest of the three and is very Skritt-brained, and very carefree. Sometimes she forgets her strength and hugs everyone too tight (except Mbk, cuz he can handle that lmao)

@secretlysly @discountprophet gw2 explained

guild wars is an insane setting because it's a normal fantasy world but also the closest elf analogue that exists is humanity. what people would at first glance assume to be ""elves"" are actually just vaguely humanoid plant monsters made to serve an unbelievably ancient god-dragon that's also a living jungle and also all of the plant people are at maximum 25 years old because their entire species are basically collectively babies in terms of how long they've existed in-universe. also the orcs are giant cat people. the gnomes are rats. the dwarves are normal but also they're steadily going extinct and also all living rock people now. nobody even knows what a horse is

I'm very excited to announce The Harbinger's Path, a Trahearne and Malyck Guild Wars 2 fan comic!

I've made a little preview page with more info coming soon! The address is in the last image above.

The Harbinger’s Path is a completely fan-made project, unofficial, and not affiliated with ArenaNet – it’s a small passion-project I’ve decided to do while not part of the Creative Partnership, as I felt more comfortable working on something more personal to me on my own.

Especially as I’m not sure how much interest there might be in this project beyond my own specific tastes - though of course, I hope someone else might also enjoy it, too. ;)

Also, I've seen the recent tumblr posts - I'm hopeful this site will keep on kicking, but just in case: I plan to also post updates to bsky, and I even learned how to add an RSS feed for the website :O The link is on the preview page!

(If I had known how easy it was to create your own RSS feed, I would have done so years ago!)

Experimental work featuring my Druid Kiró. Often when I start with a concept I actually never know what the finished piece will look like. I just like to try out new things as I go. See what sticks and what not. Anyway, love this man <3 Sponsored by ArenaNet

Commander Littlearrow through the years

HoT and LWS3. Wind currents in Verdant Brink forced him to cut his hair. He buries everything that's happening deep inside and puts on a brave face. He's the Commander, right? He has to be strong. It leads to him saying he's fine a little more than necessary. He feels like the only glimmer of hope Tyria has is Aurene.
