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.

If the writer’s eyes light up when asked, “why did the character do that?” then it’s real.

Wrathion's Wandering King 👑🍃🐉

#WorldofWarcraft
The image is of Anduin and Wrathion from World of Warcraft. The piece is recreating a scene from Howl's Moving Castle, where Howl and Sophie are gazing at each other of a knoll lush with wildflowers. Anduin is approaching Wrathion, a tentative smile on his face.

I picked up the first book in Tanith Lee’s Flat Earth series, Night’s Master, on a whim after my last repost and it’s beautiful so far. It does read just like a fairy tale, or a retelling of actual mythology

This is your occasional reminder that, if you like Neil Gaiman's stuff, but can't bring yourself to like it anymore for justifiable reasons, Tanith Lee is the author he is credibly accused of extensively cribbing from, and her work is on Audible, and AMAZING.

Ursula K Le Guin published a series of essays critiquing 80s pop sci-fi that still stands today, for sci-fi as well as now games: fans of the medium are hostile to criticism and sophistication, because their slop is comfortable. They don’t want depth and complexity, only familiarity

As someone who's a lot friendlier to the possibilities of videogames as a narrative art form than Ian is, I think he's completely right about this

I’m going to get in trouble for this, but fuck it.

I’ve been at this a long time. Games culture wants the spoils of cultural sophistication without doing the work. It wants a guarantee that the intention to make work guarantees not just a living but a thriving one. It is a medium for children.

Horses Is Tame
Horses, the indie game that is too scandalous for either Valve or Epic, is only beyond the pale if you're not familiar with any other art form.

The image is of Anduin and Wrathion from World of Warcraft. It is a commission by @melteeyo for @ClaretAsh. It is a scene based on a fanfic by @Silriven by the name "The Temptation of Anduin Wrynn." The image depicts Wrathion and Anduin together in a detailed room, which while hewn from stone and located inside Blackrock Mountain, is incredibly cosy. They are seated on a chesterfield style couch, in casual outfits. Wrathion reads, a hand placed on Anduin's leg who is reclining next to him, drinking tea, and they both look very relaxed. The room is filled with incredible details and is packed with things to look at - soft light trickles in a round window, and highlights a packed desk. Across the walls are detailed maps and charts, and the floor is covered by elegant rugs. From the ceilings hangs crystal lights and terrariums filled with plants. Behind the couch is a packed bookcase, filled with scrolls, oddities and books. Drying herbs hang from the shelves and a lush potted plant also sits in a corner of the room. In the middle, a tea tables sits, lunch snacks sit on it along with flowers and other trinkets. To the side there is a papers on the floor, covered with a child's drawings. It belongs to Nyxondra, Wrathion and Anduin's adopted black dragon daughter. A picture of her sits in the background, near the study desk. It's a home filled with love.

fanart of Samus, from the Metroid games she's wearing her signature power suit/armor, only her helmet's off, she's holding it in her left hand she's standing in a dark wire-filled place, with only a vertical ray of green light falling on her fierce-looking face, like a door's opening on the outside, off screen

It drives me nuts when people label my work as the "respectable" kind of queer art just because it's basically PG-13.

Bitch don't pull that nonsense, we stand up for porn in this house. Always defend the weird, ugly, uncomfortable, and cringe, because if we don't push boundaries we don't exist.

The fascists are counting on you finding erotica and porn too distasteful to support. Because they always start here. And even if they ended here, sexuality and erotism are integral components of queer expression. You can't support queer creators without supporting 'nsfw' content.

Like a guiding star. 🌠

#Warcraft #dragon
The art is of Wrathion from World of Warcraft. He's in his dragon form, standing in a dark field. However, he and the space around him are illuminated by a powerful glow, gold and pink glow. Above him, as if racing through the night sky, is the worldsoul of Azeroth. Wrathion's wings are highlighted in crimson and a coppery-gold, and he seems safe in the worldsoul's glow. It acts as a guiding star for him, as if leading him where he needs to be.

The image is of Anduin and Wrathion from World of Warcraft. It is a commission by @pejntboks for @ClaretAsh. Anduin and Wrathion are dressed up in VERY comfy and VERY gaudy looking holiday sweaters, in bright colours and brilliant patterns. Anduin wears a a sweater which is primarily pale blue, with a diamond and snowflake pattern with lions on it. It has fluffy white trim around the collar and hem. His hair is also growing out, and he still has a beard. Wrathion is dressed in a dark crimson sweater, with a dark green pattern of diamonds, stripes and the Horde symbol (to balance out Anduin's embarrassingly Alliance sweater! 😂) He wears a Santa hat over one of his horns, and has a sack of presents on his back. He's giving Anduin a smooch as the other man is grinning and holding him close. Wrathion is holding a bit of mistletoe in one hand, which also shows off his AMAZING candy cane style manicure. They're covered with Christmas -y objects, such as fairylights, ribbons, candy canes, THE WORKS!! It's bright and intense, fun and silly, and perfect for the season! Also: [points at Wrathion's hat bell] TRANS RIGHTS. 💙💗🤍

#Warcraft #wranduin
The image is of Anduin and Wrathion from World of Warcraft. It's a commission done by @galacticjonah for @ClaretAsh. The image is broken into two frames, to resemble the famous proposal scene in Pride & Prejudice, balanced by Darcy's and Elizabeth's conflicting tensions, yet passion and longing for one another. The piece shows Wrathion and Anduin soaked through by the rain, but sheltered by a marble pillared gazebo. In the top image, Anduin's pale blue shirt is soaked through by the rain, a neckerchief that has come untied and his hair is slightly bedraggled, yet he wears a wistful, longing expression. He has a hand pulled towards his chest, as he gazes at Wrathion who is just off frame. He stands in front of a peaceful lake in the background, where willows and another gazebo can be seen. Wrathion is in the bottom image, looking slightly bedraggled too. He wears a dark, elegant suit and cravat. He wears a solemn expression as he looks at Anduin, as if he has just admitted something, and is cautiously awaiting the answer. He stands in front of a soft green treeline. The two panels capture the feeling of the movie scene perfectly. ....hey, did you know that this film version of Pride & Prejudice will be turning 20 years old in September this year?

The image is of Anduin and Wrathion from World of Warcraft. It is a commission by @lurrlonde for @ClaretAsh. The two men sit together in a small boat, in Olivia's Pond located in Stormwind. It's implied to be during the Love is in the Air festival, as gold lanterns float above them. Anduin is looking up at the night sky, a smile on his face. His left hand is entwined with Wrathion's as he gazes up at the gorgeous sight. Wrathion leans into Anduin, his head resting on his shoulder. Wrathion's attention is completely focused on Anduin's joyful expression. Both wear casual outfits, Anduin is a blue, short sleeved shirt, and Wrathion in a low-cut, white shirt. Anduin wears his hair short, with a mild stubble on his face. ...I've been trying to hold off posting this commission until Love is in the Air, BUT I LOVE IT TOO MUCH, I COULDN'T WAIT! 💖 SO. Enjoy this sweet Tangled inspired piece early, Lurr absolutely NAILED this piece!!! 💕💗

The image is of Wrathion and Anduin from World of Warcraft. It's a commission done by @atomeja (Kia!) for @ClaretAsh. The two men are embracing each other in the picture. Anduin has his TWW appearance - hair short and a beard. His cloak flows out behind him, as he gazes up at Wrathion. Wrathion has wings, horns and his tail showing in his visage, and is slightly elevated about Anduin. I seems like he is gently falling into Anduin's embrace. Both of them are gazing at each other with loving expressions - Wrathion gently cradles Anduin's face in his hands. The background is a warm gradient, with the sky above them filled with stars.
