Y'all I've always thought it was hilarious what Anet did to warbands.

So. you have Rytlock, who in Edge of Destiny said he had "about a dozen" brothers and sisters each. so including himself, that's 25 in a warband. The wiki says a warband is 6-25 members, so Rytlock was on the high end, and average would probably be 12-18 members.

and then every warband in the game proceeds to have BARELY 6.

you have 5 options to choose from for a sparring partner. Rox's old warband had 6 members (or maybe 7). We've still never met more than one of Rytlock's 'bandmates. Almorra gets one 'bandmate mentioned by name.

most charr in the entire game, including top-ranking tribunes and imperators, are not with their warbands, do not talk about their warbands, do not go places with their warbands. Tribune Bhuer Goreblade shows up with a small handful of 'bandmates in the charr level 10 story.

You do not see groups of 12-18 charr warbands roaming around Ascalon with fascinating life stories and 'bandmate dynamics and mourning the latest one(s) who died, with mementos, with stories about how 'my sparring partner saved my life' and 'this member of the warband whom I know least of all my bandmates would die for me and they proved it last week' and 'Im unhappy with bandmate X but I would kill for them' or 'bandmates Y and Z obviously love each other. wanna join the betting pool?' and the legionnaire who confides in you about their tough decisions of who they're picking to be their second/replacement. All within the same warband.

Not even one warband like this. Much less the multiple that charr culture deserves.

Even in IBS, the, at least half-way, charr-centric story, our main focus warband is Ryland's Steel warband. Who has, predictably, 6 members. And like 10 fresh-faced, unnamed recruits who have 0 history or dynamic with the Main Cast. even the 6 named members, who have vibes and character and a bit of a dynamic, are stupid shallow. (and tbf they didn't have time to explore it much, but really?)

We do not see Bangar's 'bandmates. We do not see Rytlock's 'bandmates. We do not hear anything about Almorra's old 'bandmates. We do not see Ember Doomforge's 'bandmates. We do not see Smodur's 'bandmates. We do not see Malice's 'bandmates. We do not see Efram's 'bandmates.

We see a lot of 'cubs this' (with Rytlock and with Efram), I heard a lot of speculation about 'cubs that' in fandom spaces, we see a lot of 'ohoho relationship/mating drama' (from Rytlock/Crecia and also Almorra/Bangar). We do NOT see ANYTHING about warbands, supposedly the building-blocks of charr society.

Even the charr player's old warband is mostly disbanded/defected to Dominion.

I have yet to see any real warband dynamics in canon.

Even in the books! Rytlock's 24 'bandmates are fair game because they're offscreen. And Anet has consistently refused to show any of them. Even Rytlock's dynamic with Crecia is pretty much just "we're old exes" and never "we grew up together. we fought together. our bonds are deeper than those of biology, than the fact we have a cub. I stabbed you once and you knew I didn't mean it because we are 'bandmates." Sure, Crecia mentions once "ohoho we used to see the ice elementals here as cubs."

But in the books! Sea of Sorrows for instance! iirc the majority of Sykax's warband is unnamed! Ember Doomforge, again, no mentions of warband! Rytlock nor Malice nor Almorra talk about inter-warband relations!

we never see any warbands larger than 6 members.

And this is all because, OBVIOUSLY, who wants to come up with 12-18 whole characters when it's just the one who's relevant to the story? Coming up with 6 is hard enough it only happens in special occasions. which doesn't include the legit actual player character.

(the player character, whose warband is decimated to TWO flaming members (including yourself!!) in the tutorial, and! yay! fun lorebuilding! you get to rebuild the warband. this adds a flaming total of TWO members. now you're at flaming four. FLAMING FANTASTIC. the player-flaming-character gets FOUR 'bandmates. this is atrocious!! and tbf if you compile all the options across all the branches you might end up in the (low end, probably) of 12-18. which is fair!)

but like. I do sympathize. I really do. characters are hard. names especially! which would be the bare minimum yknow. have an 18-member warband with zero dialogue but! they do have names! that wander around Ascalon. not even an event chain just average-sized warband representation PLEASE.

like. I did it myself. I invented a warband and I BARELY got them to 6 members. I had name, gender, profession for each of them. they were minor characters so they didn't even get the development that Ryland's Steel got. names, professions and the vibes from that. I felt so bad for only giving them 6 bc I was reinforcing the stereotype!!

but, so, uhhhh

I have been handed an OC. from a friend. who has given me full creative license to write abt them in my story.

I gave him 23 'bandmates. They all have names and genders. They're split up into who is whose sparring partner and who bunks with whom. That is all.

I also get VibesTM from each member's name. I'm slowly building relationship maps. (mostly just. from character A's PoV, ranking who they are closest with. Then doing it from Character B's PoV. it's WILDLY fascinating.) I have three charr 'bandmates who have their own little niche, they three are besties, they're each other's sparring partners and bunkmates and everybody (main relevant characters at least) knows them as 'those three'. and I know their names. none of the characters I'm writing about know them very well (relative to the rest of the warband ofc. ofc each one would DIE for them and probably knows their struggles and combat strengths and weak points and so on. but I haven't invented any of those yet) and that's all. I don't have a single bit of info about them except that and the vibes of each name. but hey!!!! WARBAND DYNAMICS MY BELOVED!?!!

[anarchypig0]

Ahhhhhhh. ¿Es esto lo que creo que es? Is this real life or is this just fanta sea?

¡Lo es, lo es! ªªªªªªªªªªªªªª Por fin vamos a saber qué ocurrió ESA noche #modohypeactivado

Leer a Ciro por fin en un post "propio" es algo que tenía muchas ganas. ¿Quién era "Ciro" realmente? No la interpretación de Eider, no el recuerdo de Dario, no el resto de proyecciones y necesidades de cada miembre de su familia. Sino él.

(En realidad esto es algo que ya estáis tratando en varios posts pero let me be. Tenía muchas ganas de leer algo que tuviese a Dario /vivo/ e interactuando en el momento)

Eider empieza fuerte 👁️👄👁️

"¿Y por qué no estás enfadado? Él /siempre/ se enfadaba"

(Y en verdad me esperaba ver a Ciro enfadado, furioso con lo que ha ocurrido y deseando salir a hacer algo pero esta otra versión me gusta mucho más)

Me flipa eso sí como Eider está de shockeada, de enfadada, de al borde del ataque de nervios (y con motivo) y de descontrolada. Y que Ciro intentase calmarla, intentase hacer algo... pero qué difícil es contener un incendio que solo quiere quemar... No quiero citar todo el post pero... omg

She wanna see them burn, como su vida acaba de arder.

ESTA PARTE, ESTA LÍNEA OMG OMG. "No tendré al hijo de un cobarde". Aquí me maté yo. Y aquí Eider ha sellado sus destinos, no solo el de Ciro sino el suyo mismo. Toda la culpa, todos los engaños, todo.

Lo que menos esperabamos: querer a Ciro en este post y llorar por él.

Oh my god.

GRACIAS @heylelumus por hacernos sufrir. Llevaba un montón queriendo que este post existiese y te ha quedado impecable. 100/10. Increíble ejecución. Gracias por tanto, perdón por tan poco.

Estoy deseando saber cuando Dario o los demás se enteren de una pizca de la verdad de lo que ocurrió aquella noche 👀

Is this the real life?⠀

Is this just Fanta Sea?⠀

The idea came up during diner in 2020. Corona-weekend meant that the children are allowed a little more than usual. The oldest daughter found some Fanta in the cupboard. She wanted to try it while I thought she doesn't even like it. But then this meme came into my mind. My first idea was to create a sea with a real Fanta bottle or beverage can. But we didn't have any left - we hardly drink soft drinks here - so I had to come up with something different...⠀

"It's the Fanta Sea. It's all the Fanta-Sea. But which flavour?"

[spikeythespians]

the impact of neon gensis evangelion is not being able to hear the word "fantasy" any other way than "fanta sea"

"...sugiero que se evalué elevarlo."

[the--sad--hatter]

Can we talk about the fact that I don't live in the real world anymore?!

Like at some point, I just went and slipped into a whole 'Nother realm, like Narnia or some shit.

Cause I just looked out of my window, and saw DOLPHINS!?!? 🐬🐬🐬

What?!?

Here's a minute of really shaky video, taken on a really crap camera, with an added soundtrack to cover the sound of me gasping for air in the background.

The Photos were taken by my dad.

The Dashing Captain Dreadful

For @bumblingbunny​’s Love and Conquest!

Westley Vex (aka Captain Dreadful) | He/Him | Pan

Is he a dreadful captain or a captain who is dreadful? We’ll never know. As a captain of a crew of one (himself), he gave himself his own nickname for hope it would invoke fear among the other ships in the seas. His crew (still himself) says he is the best captain on all of the high fanta-seas. He has spent many turns on the water and hasn’t spent much time around nobility, which he hopes might be something in his favor. He craves adventure and is a pirate through and through. He hopes to steal Harmony’s heart. His ship has just come into port and he’s hoping to set sail on the course of love ~

Wes has his head in the clouds and his mind on the code. As a video game designer, he loves adventurous games, but more on the virtual side of things rather than the real life version. He wishes he could grow a sick mustache and sail the seven seas, but it’s just not in the cards for him in real life. So he continues to be whoever he wants in his gaming. Maybe one day someone will see more in him than he sees into himself.
