Tyria Pride Parade 2024 - Day 2 Screenshots

Marched with some friends and the PIO peeps. We took a screenshot together before some of them had to leave early.

I switched to Corrupted Kudu in the middle of the march. He was very suspicious seeing Zojja (played by @ratasum) but no time for hostilities at pride.

I do headcanon Kudu is a trans man. Lore wise only female asura have vowels at the end of their name. Kudu has a female name because he liked it too much to change it.

I don't play Guild Wars 2 much anymore but I always look forward to pride. See you all next year! <3

I was so honored to be able to participate in the GW2 Pride Parade tonight! Thanks to everyone who marched, and thanks to ANet who came out and supported us! Lots of love to my LGBT brothers and sisters, we’re stronger together! 

Always,

Drache

I love how I can be away from this game for years, but every year for pride I see names I recognize and old friends. Everyone is friendly and having a good time. Best community! <3

Happy Pride! Will be here again on day 2!

Bonus NPC event chatter during the march that was pretty silly.

Tyria Pride Parade 2023 - Day 1 Screenshots

My computer can barely handle GW2 anymore as I take forever to load into the game and I lag so bad with large groups, but I couldn't miss Tyria Pride. I barely took any screenshots at the beginning because I was busy chatting with old friends I hadn't seen in forever. Good to see you all again! <3 See you all again for day two!

I ended up in the map that started way late, so half of Lion's Arch was running through the city to catch up to the other maps. It wasn't a pride march. It was a pride run, haha!

It was nice to be back. I miss this game. Still surprised how many familiar faces I see every year. See you all next year! Stay safe and happy pride!

I haven’t been active in GW2 in months, but I wouldn’t miss this event for the world. Thank you GW2 community for hosting this every year. No other MMO has such a supportive community and a place I can feel safe being who I am. It is truly something special.

Spent this day of pride with both old and new friends! It was wonderful to see people I used to play with again, and invited a trans friend from the current MMO I am playing now to come and she had a ton of fun and gained a few levels on her new character, haha.

For now I am on hiatus from GW2. I am far too busy with another MMO for my free time, but hey, maybe someday I’ll come back. I know I’ll have friends if I do.

I love you all and happy pride! See you all next year.

A bit of a boat traffic jam at Tyria Pride this year.

Tyria Pride Parade 2021 - Day 1 Screenshots

It’s good to be back in Guild Wars 2. I haven’t played in so long, but I’ve been to every Tyria Pride Parade and I wouldn’t miss this event for the world. <3

I did miss how pretty this game is. These screenshots, despite the massive lag and crashing twice, turned out wonderful!

It’s so nice to see the loving community I knew years ago is still around and terrific as ever.

Happy Pride everyone! I’ll be around tomorrow for day two as well!

Tyria Pride Parade 2021 - Day 2 Screenshots 

999 screenshots in two days of pride. Narrowing each day down to ten for a tumblr photo set is always difficult.

Bonus shot of this glorious man who was my favorite during the parade:

I love this community. Thanks for all the support and happy feelings during this event. It was so hard to log off afterwards.

I’ll see you all next year! <3

Tyria Pride Parade 2020 - Day 1 Screenshots

I TOOK OVER 600 SCREENSHOTS TODAY YOU HAVE NO IDEA HOW HARD IT WAS TO NARROW THIS DOWN TO JUST 10 FOR THIS POST!

Seriously since covid this has been the only event I’ve been looking forward to this year since I knew it wasn’t going to be cancelled. Thank you so much everyone that came. I saw so many old friends I hadn’t seen in months and had a ton of fun.

See you all tomorrow for the second half of the march! To Rata Sum we go!

Tyria Pride Parade 2020 - Day 2 Screenshots

Oh boy did my computer cry and crash twice for having max graphics on for these screenshots but worth it!

Second day of the march from Lion’s Arch to Gay Rat City Rata Sum. On our way we found some homophobic Ettins that tried to block our parade from completing!

But that didn’t stop us!

Thank you so much everyone that made it to Tyria Pride. This is an event I look forward to every year and by far my favorite GW2 event. I always leave these with warm fuzzy feelings, happy to know there so many other LGBT+ people out there like me.

Last screenshot is our asura krewe (and honorary charr) I marched with today. @radioactivesoda-gw2​ @thekamki-gw2​ @rata-whitz​ @adurolobe​ @heavenbat-gw2​ and the duo at @tiri-n-crayons​

I haven’t been playing GW2 but you bet that I wouldn’t miss Tyria Pride for the world!

I’ll be on Yakez for both NA marches rainbowing it up! Looking forward to seeing my old friends again and taking a ton of screenshots to post later!

Tyria Pride Parade 2019 - Day 2 Screenshots

Tyria Pride is an event I love every year but I have to say this day was the best one I had. I got to march with a bunch of friends in our own little squad. Shoutout to @sparkyopteryx @elisketching @rata-whitz @radioactivesoda-gw2 @adurolobe @ependadrawsguildwars2 and two others in our squad I don’t know your tumblrs (please tell me yours)! I also saw more friends along the way!

Thanks again to @opencommunity for organizing the event. From this gay trans man to everyone in this game, LGBT+ and allies, thank you for making this game community the best I’ve ever been in!

Tyria Pride Parade 2019 - Day 1 Screenshots

Oh man, it was so so hard to narrow all the screenshots I took down to just ten for this photoset. I have to add a bonus screenshot of all of us visiting Sya, a canon trans woman NPC in game.

Such a huge turn out this year! Many friends, familiar faces, and Anet tags. Big thanks to @opencommunity for organizing this event year after year and to everyone who came and makes this event something I look forward to every year!

The rest of the parade is tomorrow. Hope to see everyone then!

During an asura friend dance circle while waiting for pride march to start, I got proof that serious Khallalh can smile and let loose some times. Sorry @radioactivesoda-gw2 haha!
