Hi there, I'm Jay! I'm a hobby artist who enjoys drawing sharkrats and sharkrat accessories. I have a rotating cast of characters and I post screens, game musings, headcanons, and periodic artwork!

I feel like the expectation to outcome ratio was so wildly skewed with the last two that keeping things under wraps feels like a safer bet.

The mental image of Leyya staring at Kuda and processing how much she looks like Zojja, then looking down at Zojja and going "Babe why was everyone so obsessed with you" while completely ignoring her decades long devotion to her is honestly really funny to me.

Jay / Cinnamon @ratasum.bsky.social · 17h

I love the theory that they're not related at all (I tend to hc Zojja as an orphan, since word of god has indicated asura are pretty family oriented) and Kudu was bitter about his daughter managing to look like her completely by accident. It'd explain why she wants to prove herself for HER, too.

Jay / Cinnamon @ratasum.bsky.social · 17h

Sometimes I think about the fact that Kuda uses the same face model as Zojja, and the implications of your father seeking out someone who looks so much like someone he hates to make SURE you look like her, and the fact that was likely not intended at all. orz

Super cute pic I commissioned from @whitewingsart.bsky.social for my bestie @/wall-legion on Tumblr of her adorkable charr gal Iuno Wrathtalon, flustered at being flirted with by my girl Sid Hackwrench. Best future girlfriends.

God I have some FEELINGS about them bringing Kuda in rn, and they're ones I'm not comfortable voicing on social media due to bad experiences. But if you have me on disco or wanna add me uh. Feel free to lmao.

Jay / Cinnamon @ratasum.bsky.social · 20h

I have FEELINGS about this, both excitement and anger gnawing, and it's tearing me apart.

Jay / Cinnamon @ratasum.bsky.social · 20h

HOLY SHIT?

Guild Wars 2 @guildwars2.com · 20h

She's not content to live in her father's shadow. Meet Kuda.

So I hear it's #PortfolioDay.

I'm Jay, a hobby artist who enjoys mostly drawing GW2 stuff, though I also draw furries, goblins, and gnomes when the mood strikes me.

All the places you can find me are here: linktr.ee/cinnabuntastic!

I always consider doing portfolio day, then remember I'm primarily a fanartist so end up not doing it LMAO.

Jay / Cinnamon @ratasum.bsky.social · 1d

Thinking about Rhenn and Leyya bonding over having shitty dads.

Jay / Cinnamon @ratasum.bsky.social · 1d

Working through #2 and still plenty of slots open!

Jay / Cinnamon @ratasum.bsky.social · 14d

Honestly, at this point, ANY scraps of asura lore. I know it'll be largely Inquest focused but I'll take what I can get lmao.

EDIT button, Bsky, come on.

Jay / Cinnamon @ratasum.bsky.social · 1d

Ludo herself has ties to the Inquest through the council too; you learn about it if you talk to her and her sister in the council chambers. Zudo is the one who mentions it specifically, but Ludo does not push back on it and she's actively part of the convo.

I'd like to see HER squirm for it too.

Considering the last couple expacs have had something of a smokescreen start before pivoting to "the real threat," I'm not SUPER holding my breath? But it'd be really nice if they did finally address it, since the Inquest has the least information out there of all the "racial" bad guy groups.

Jay / Cinnamon @ratasum.bsky.social · 1d

Are we FINALLY going to get actual information about the structure and leadership of the Inquest? Are we going to ACTUALLY address how the council has consistently backed them since base game??

Guild Wars 2 @guildwars2.com · 1d

Curious who's really pulling the strings behind the Inquest? Let's peek into their tangled web of krewes.

She may have been raised charr, but a little of that asuran ego (not helped by the accolades Wrench has gotten over the years) still shines through now and then.

Jay / Cinnamon @ratasum.bsky.social · 1d

She thinks it's fine for what it does, but too visibly flashy. If it was less about aesthetics and more about the actual function, she feels like she'd be more comfortable around it. She does acknowledge where charr tech falls behind by comparison... but that, in her opinion, is where SHE comes in.

How about some factoids about Rhenn, Iuno, and Kippa's companion, the charr-raised asura Sidera Hackwrench!

26. The number of times Sid has nearly given some poor Iron Legion charr a heart attack by popping out of a random spot on a charr car or tank while they were talking shop with one of the other Wrench warband members is so high. She likes being hands on, and so she goes gremlin mode while working.

Jay / Cinnamon @ratasum.bsky.social · 2d

25. Sid's voice in my head is Ashley Johnson, specifically how she voices Pike in TLoVM (I've never seen the actual play so I don't know if they sound the same lmao).

24. Sid can't stand asuran cultural cuisine. She doesn't like how much gelatin is used in it and has discovered she can't stand the taste or texture of insects or fungus. She's been trying more of it when she can, but at this point, she still prefers spicy dishes and charr cuisine.

< as welcome, since she hadn't been influenced by her parents, put her off them pretty immediately. She politely declined and then promptly lost every letter they sent her after.
