Hello, I'm Silriven, one of those troublemakers who ships Anduin Wrynn with Wrathion. I write queer fanfic and talk about video games for fun, mostly World of Warcraft.

OH DAMN!

The image shows key art from World of Warcraft Midnight. Faerin Lothar skewers a void walker on her lance.

Then also Xal'atath, who Ash has comically photoshopped in, as she edits Faerin's lance longer and longer each image.

Xal'atath just seems annoyed that she's been skewered rather than actually bothered, and states. "Ouch. Rude."

My extended thoughts on Wrathion's inclusion in the 'beginner player experience' -

I'm just wondering why they even included Wrathion? 🤔 I feel most people now know my thoughts about Wrathion's "story," "themes" and "narrative" in DF (lol), but here's the thing:

Shocked to see them create a new IGC just for this, but it's nice to ease players into that budget instead of scuffed ones

This definitely... leans closer to DF Wrathion's characterization than I'd like though

The article in question! One of 11.2's biggest strengths for me was finally focusing the intent of Alleria's story, after a *lot* of meandering since her introduction in Legion.

The way they used Locus-Walker was *so* good for Alleria's character.

WIPs of various Anduin scraps, of fluctuating quality but all very cute. 🫶💗

The image(s) are of Anduin Wrynn from World of Warcraft.

Various WIPs of all sorts of Anduins, of various quality. I'm workin' on 'em okay. OUGH!

Also. Pay no mind to the bottom middle one.

Wrathion WIP scraps - as equally varied quality as my Anduin ones and equally cute, all things in balance! ✨

The image(s) are of Wrathion from World of Warcraft.

Various WIPs of all sorts of Wrathions, of various quality. Still chipping away at these pieces [FALLS OVER]...

Also. Again. Pay no mind to the bottom middle one. 😏

I can't remember what the hell I was even talking about, just that it was definitely about Bl*zzard, which famously has only been staffed by the purest of heart

Grr, I can't find the screenshot I posted on here of that time a game dev quote reposted me because they were personally insulted that I was talking about "game development" as if it was a field that encompassed more than just them and their very small social circle of other progressive game devs.

Look, whenever I see a mage tower skin in the wild I don't think "gee wiz, there goes a really special player! I'm in awe of what skills they must have in playing their class!" I just think "god damn it, I wish I'd started playing WoW earlier."

Okay. Random Anduin and Wrathion facts whenever I think of them. 🤔✨️

For example - as we head into Midnight and The Last Titan is next on the horizon... Did you know that Wrathion has already been to Northrend in regards to his research?

The image is of in-game from World of Wracraft. The quest text is from the BFA quest where you collect Wrathion's torn journal.

It reads:

My hope was that the Vault of Archavon would hold the answers I seek. Unfortunately, though the Vault contained much material for me to study, the giants who make it their home were... less than cordial to me upon my arrival. I cannot say I blame them, given their previous encounters with "visitors" from the Alliance and the Horde.
