[ dear gods of RNG

i have played world of warcraft since 2008

I have killed the Lich King a cumulative 200+ times

give me that god dang horse ]

[caucaxican]

he would be the first and only character of mine to clear all three rounds, because he would be the one lucky enough to be put into a show with only two other contestants and thus the only one in the third round... and of course, all on the last [full] day of the event

he is god's favorite child

I am absolutely loving the Dreen reveal in the current arc, because all of the information we are getting makes me believe that these creatures are actually Player Characters entering the GG universe to dungeon crawl in the same way that we play MMOs. From the perspective of an NPC, it is totally believable that these freaky beings pop in and out of the timeline as a "normal person" perceive it. Much like comic books and as explored in Watchman, the reader/player can drop into the game and story at any point (especially true for MMOs compared to other more-linear styles of games), and we have witnessed the Dreen do that .

Specifically, and I'm biased because it is the MMO that I played the longest and thus have the best familiarity with, I think the Foglios are making some great classic World of Warcraft references. Thotep talking about "murder hobos" is pretty generic gaming, but 40 of them? Classic WoW 40 mans! Similarly, Gil talking about how the Dreen worked for the empire, didn't say much, were given tasks and just did them - side quests! And then there is today's page:

This is such a great way to describe what a raid does of setting up positions, discussing tactics right in front of a boss before pulling aggro. And mounting it at the gates of the capital? What, like the head of Onyxia?!

(Though I played Horde, so her head [along with Nefarian, her brother, when that raid was completed, but it was far less frequent to see] was on a large pole in Orgrimmar.) And it was epic! Literaly, the rewards you received were Epic-level (purple grade).

I am very happy to go down these memories again in one of my favorite web comics!

Today's the day! Time to go get lost in Azeroth again with Dragonflight! WoW has been a social lifeline for me, and I've been playing with the same group of people for over nine years. It's honestly my main reason to play. (Well that and I'm an obsessive mount collector).

So throwback to my Onyxia cosplay, I definitely want to cosplay more dragons :)

What could be done when the world was ending?

The chaos on the Broken Shore hadn't been entirely unexpected, not when the Burning Legion was quite literally at their doorstep and all of Azeroth was scrambling to mount an effective defense. The Alliance and Horde had joined forces, if uneasily, and for the first time, Ariadne had taken her place in battle alongside her parents.

Which gave her a front row view of the absolute bloodbath that the Alliance faced that day. Which meant she watched not only her king, but her mother perish against the endless waves of demon invaders, sacrificing themselves so the rest could retreat.

In her hand was a letter, sealed in wax, unopened and entrusted to her care as King Greymane didn't want there to be any delay in getting Varian's last letter to his son. His heir.

King Anduin Wrynn, long may he reign.

Ariadne could remember when they were both younger, and the boy had ruled in his father's place with advisors and apparently several dragons. They had been children then, and her parents loved to tell the story of the march to Dustwallow to destroy Onyxia and save Stormwind from her machinations. Her father always had a particularly funny 'dragon' voice, and her mother would accuse him of exaggerating the more gruesome parts.

She hadn't even had a chance to say goodbye. But then again, neither had Anduin, and hundreds of others who had lost someone today. As her steps echoed through the marble of Stormwind Keep, approaching the throne room, Ariadne swallowed her own grief as best she could, bowing upon entry.

Someone had undoubtedly already told him, couriers had been sent before Ariadne had regained consciousness. But this letter was personal, and Greymane had entrusted her with its timely delivery.

"Your majesty." It was a soft greeting, uncertain. How could any of them bear the incredible weight that now sat squarely on their shoulders?

70 #46, Alliance #28, Priest #4. I'd fallen out of love with my void elf (I seem to never feel neutral about rogues, I either enjoy them a lot or think they're incredibly tedious) and wanted to get rid of her, but I also want to keep at least one of everything around Just In Case. While searching for names that weren't taken on various servers, I came across Ursula on two of them, and chose to roll her on Onyxia despite already having a priest there. It also covers U names (as I also want at least one of every letter) in case my gnome priest Uma gets the boot at some point.

Vandelyn (previously Sylenna, the aforementioned VE rogue) always felt really stifled on mog choices, but for some reason there's a lot more cloth I like on BE/VE than there is leather. A bit of a shame because the female BE/VE idle stealth animation is one of my favourites, but I suppose I could always get on one of the cloud or carpet mounts if I really want to go back :P

Impatiently waiting for “Dragonflight” going online tomorrow so dear Grimnar is flying over Stormwind on the newly acquired Onyxia Mount (which I finally got after years of killing Onyxia on a regular basis)

I really do like his looks atm, he looks all nice and warrior-y to fit his name. (I might have started naming all my WoW chars after Warhammer 40k chars so I really had to have a Worgen Warrior named after the best bad space santa Logan Grimnar ;) )

Onyxian Drake🔥

[shleyyyh]

DUDE OH MY GOOOOOD, Either I'm the luckiest sum bitch there is or they upped the drop rate. Got Onyxian Drake on my 15th try. Booooooom. YES. So fucking pumped!

[selanaris]

HAHAHAHAH

In one week

I got the reins of the Onyxian Drake, Experiment 12-B, AND

ASHES OF AL'AR

[illidan]

you ever just spam running for a mount and then when it drops you’re like “wait what” bc that was me

[banshees-lament]

If I ever get around to writing it, working title “Onyx Wings & Silver Hair” I’ll be sure to link it to these posts

I had a crack ship/rarepair that I'm actually starting to get into, but I'm pretty sure I'm like the only person on the planet to ship them 😂 & will have to write them myself

Vereesa Windrunner/Onyxia

It started because I know Alleria/Alexstrasza is a popular ship & I started thinking which dragon lady could I ship Vereesa with & I eventually decided Onyxia would be a fun choice & now I'm kinda lowkey into it as more than the crack pairing I started thinking of it

[tallgrassstore]

So many people have inquired about a Lil Onyxia Amigurumi ever since I made the very first round of Dragon Aspects, and here she finally is!! To clarify: this lovely lady already has a home, but she can be remade in the future :)

Onyxia is deceptively detailed. If you have her mount in WoW, or feel like popping over to her Raid, I suggest giving her a really close look - shes got so many spikes, web details, markings and even her coloring isnt what your brain first tells you (I know a lot of people see her as dominantly Purple - she is not!), I really suggest taking the time to appreciate this evil little lady.

I gave her as many spikes/webbing as I could emotionally handle while still keeping the "whelpling" feel, and even felted on some markings to her feet/paws to help her colors pop a little more. She's quite impressive and Im very pleased with the outcome!

Which Warcraft Dragon should be next in line?

I’ve been doing mount runs tonight as well and my druid got the Onyxia mount (1% drop chance) and the one of the Malygos mounts (3% drop chance) one right after the other. I am pleased!! She is now my good luck charm.
