See my Sunreaver is smug as hell because the Silver Covenant is essentially disbanded and slinking back to Silvermoon like a bunch of sullen cats, while her side has remained intact.

In retrospect it was perhaps a mistake to pick a fight with the one creature capable of giving me thalassaphobia whilst Abyss Angling.

Horse doing tricks on a bicycle.

Bronzebeard ambitions fizzled out when Blizz decided to have the human king of a foreign land walk up and declare who the rightful heir to Ironforge is and all the clans fell in line with it for reasons.

Got an amazing art commission of my Blood Knight Trisscar, by @elliezeekaye.bsky.social ! First piece for the OC and it was knocked out of the park for sure.

I love the rings of tattoos on the right arm, very cool detail!

To be fair, The Last Titan will probably have dwarf stuff narratively too.

I have the sneaking suspicion that the scope changed since the whole trilogy thing and now they're working on something much more resource-intensive for after TLT, hence the pace. But we'll see.

We sped through TWW to get to Midnight and now we're seemingly speeding through Midnight to get to The Last Titan. There's a lot of writing and stories I like in the xpac so far, and the zones are gorgeous as usual, but there's definitely a sense of wanting to "get through" loose threads.

What are her thoughts/feelings towards the Blood Knight Order? Has her perspective evolved over time regarding them?

Redoing the worgen starting zone for no particular reason and I'd forgotten how the Horde was just straight up on demon time during the entire saga.

I saw where they were trying to go with it, you had one cohesive chronological narrative starting in SL then through DF... but yeah the missed chance to have Tess leading a team of werewolves to fight a bunch of evil witches does sit heavy.

Tess would have a much better niche if they'd made Gilneas into how it was portrayed in Witchwood and just brought that in-game. Instead it was empty for over a decade and then they made the antagonists for reclaiming it... Scarlets.

Joke's on you Astalor, no one can cause me more anguish than myself. Picture unrelated.

The furries moved closer to the Lamb and the Monday Market location is now firmly established, but everything else fits.

Dame Auriferous needing to be saved also was a bit of a miss in my opinion. These people were on the very frontier of Blood Elf lands holding out for years, they wouldn't panic at yassified Twilights.

I'm a sucker for magical and/or inherited weapons, so I often use them for my OCs as family artifacts. My Bronzebeard paladin inherited a masterwork mithril axe used to slay several claimants to the Ironforge throne during the War of Three Hammers, and it is definitely 100% haunted.

Someone squared up with a lyre is somehow way more imposing than someone with a sword.

I was spoiled by how many episodes the first season had, I get why they stopped where they did but ten episodes is pain.

The 90s and early 2000s animated TV series scene will always fascinate me, even as someone who lived through it. Because what do you mean they made an animated sequel to the '98 Godzilla movie, and it was actually good?

You can't slice it, though. You must take large bites directly from the loaf, like a caricature of a 19th century Frenchman.

A bunch of the Blood Knight NPCs have variants of the armor that I've never seen before. The boots and gloves the Blood Knight Champion NPCs wear, for example, are altered models. This one is new to me, though.

The worst part is they literally added them to the decor catalogue by accident for a time and I was so excited and then they REMOVED them.

I'll have you know "flowing moonkissed midnight in winter whilst harps play" is a perfectly valid hair colour!

Honestly I did not get the Hien hate from people when I played. Once he was on the team he seemed pretty ride or die. Maybe he suffered from being hyped up so much by Yugiri for an expansion and a half.

My hot take today is that BfA 'Alliance side' Darkshore doesn't even come close to matching the energy and vibes of original Darkshore. It's a very pretty zone and the eclipsed moon is cool but even Cata era Darkshore is more iconic.

Honestly I'm headcanoning that Thalyssra doesn't actually de-facto rule Suramar, just her faction therein has the most influence. The other noble houses still have heft and the city is a mess of intrigue and politics at the best of times.

I dunno, that baby is clearly plotting something.

It's people with kids. Parents today are desperate for extremely safe media that their kids can sit in front of, because literally everything is controversial now, even in all ages entertainment.

Also the firmly Horde-aligned characters are consistently written as the adults in the room. Even Rommath is implied to be at least somewhat justified in his outlook once the velves hit Voidstorm and we see the effect it has on them.
