#asric and jadaar

[mipeltaja]

I am honestly floored. I never thought I'd see these guys do anything ever again.

They're only hanging around the draenei heritage gathering, but at least there's new gossip text! Also, not that it wasn't already clear that they're inseparable, but Asric insisting on coming with Jadaar to freaking Exodar, and Jadaar negotiating with the peacekeepers to actually allow Asric into freaking Exodar is on a whole other level.

Another time rift opens at the Everywhen Inn and an unlikely pair emerges.

Some hours earlier (relatively speaking):

#world of warcraft #Jadaar #Asric #Legion victorious timeline AU #or something like that #not the one where the Legion apparently won the War of the Ancients tho #high/blood elves wouldn't exist #maybe this is an AU that diverges at TBC #not sure if Jadaar was never a draenei in this AU or if he was forcibly converted to man'ari or smth #I haven't given it that much thought #though I HAVE given it more thought that it warrants #also surprise! bet you thought you'd seen the last of these guys from me #imagining alternate scenarios gets the creative juices flowing #lmao fixed a litle typo in the second to last picture but I fear it's too late

Absolutely adored the Draenei heritage quest and think it's probably the best one we've gotten, but my favorite part of all by far was seeing these two again. I love how they brought back so many different characters connected to the Draenei from across the entire history of the game, especially as someone who has been playing my Draenei since BC, but these two are so special to me and seeing them again, still together after all this time made me giddy.

#World of Warcraft #Draenei #Asric #Jadaar #Asric/Jadaar #they are the ORIGINAL shippable silly guys #the last thing I expected when I started the questline was for these two to show up #the whole thing was so wonderful and emotional for someone who is super invested in the draenei #but also I loved and shipped these two a lot when I was young and just...ahhhh I'm happy ^_______^ #if u told 16 year old me that in the year of our lord 2024 Jadaar would pull strings to get Asric into a special draenei ceremony #I simply would not have been able to handle it lol #such a little tiny thing and silly dialogue #but that's basically what these two have always been and I think that is kind of part of what makes WoW so charming #that they have these little small goofy things #and that all these years later they still remember them #there's so many things wrong with the game and the industry #but SOMETIMES...I still just really am fond of it...unbearably so #ADFSGHFJGKL JUST NOTICED SOMEONE ELSE MADE ALMOST THIS EXACT POST JUST BEFORE I DID 😹😹😹😹😹😹😹 #I'm gonna leave it up for my own posterity tho :P #I admit this post would've been made yesterday but I forgot to screenshot the dialogue #so I power leveled a new draenei to 50 so I could get the dialogue to post lmaooooo #that's my main in the pic tho >_>

I reinstalled WoW, and made a brand-new account because I deleted my middle-school era one a few years ago in a very emotional fit. And I regret that but I also think that account and my characters on it were so tainted by a bunch of things- unpleasant friendships being top of the list. So, a clean slate should be nice.

I'm remembering how much I loved my WoW OCs though... And just, as stupid and contradictory as it is, the decades of worldbuilding from WC3 through the present is SUCH a fun sandbox to play in. I am thinking of working on my Jadaar/Asric, Thasstira and Shadow Priest OC fic again... WIPs from 2018-2019 moldering on my computer........

i still dream of that novel-length Asric/Jadaar fic that was hosted on ygallery. I must have read that fic a decade ago by now. i remember it being sooooo sooo so sooo good like it had all the ideal fanfiction story beats…. The most carefully crafted moments of homoerotic tension….. I remember so many specific sentences from that fic that I could probably partially reanimate it

Skar and Murky hung out with Asric and Jadaar for awhile at the Darkmoon Faire.  Wherever they’re doing their snarky banter these days, I hope they’re happy...  I miss them.

[rosebramblewolf]

someday i need to fucking write the asric/jadaar thing i started when cata was in beta, i probably lost however many chapters i had of it when my hard drive crashed several years ago but it was a fun time

i dont remember what i was calling it but the subtitle was “or how asric and jadaar learned to stop worrying and love the cataclysm”

it started out with them hanging out at the argent renaissance faire freezing their balls off and running out of money for hot drinks and then running into asrics sister, my first death knight, who had just returned from murdering the lich king with extreme prejudice, and whom he had thought was dead-dead since the scourge came to silvermoon

she lent them money to get back to dalaran and then went off to use her newfound saving-the-world fame to pick up orc women

warcraft for the blorbo meme (sent by someone who is definitely not you)

wow thank you mysterious stranger

blorbo: ANDUIN LLANE WRYNN, he is my SON, i LOVE HIM scrunkly: sika!! there's probably multiple characters i could put here but she is the Most Shaped scrimblo bimblo: i don't think ve'nari is underappreciated but there's hardly any fic with her on ao3 so that counts, i think. OH and moira!! OH and tess and lorna!! glup shitto: asric & jadaar, they are not exactly obscure but they are very much background lads. i screamed a little when i saw them in icecrown during the pre-expansion event poor little meow meow: oh god it's probably wrathion...i love him so dearly but man oh man has this boy made some MISTAKES. OH SYLVANAS TOO, she’s got some poor little meow meow energy. i’m so sorry about your writing, queen horse plinko: honestly so many...let's say zul and rastakhan lmfao, torment them TOGETHER eeby deeby: the jailer. go back to superhell shitlord

#listen i knew nobody was gonna ask but i have Opinions

I actually went and looked at the Wowpedia page for Asric and Jadaar, and ngl the Vesper conversation is n o t far off from the standard “those two guys” conversations. Blizz would probably just make it slightly less obvious that it’s about dicks by having Mevix go, “It’s not about...?” instead of saying it outright.

#i love it when blizz gives us two idiots who stand around and bicker all day

Look at my boys fighting scourge! I’m so proud!

Even though the fact that all these NPCs are still here to fight scourge technically means that they’ve all just quietly kept the Argent Tournament running long past the Lich King’s defeat and even through Legion invasions and whatnot.

Listen, I just want these two to settle down in a small cottage in Mulgore or wherever with a patch of land to grow stuff on. Some of it for eating and some of it for, well, drinking.

They’re friends with the tauren at the next house over.

It would be nice to see a male/male relationship in WoW, everything has been female/female even with minor NPCs, because "Lesbians are hot" logic I suppose, *Sigh.*

As I tell the FE fandom constantly, subtext counts for something (most importantly, inspiring fanwork) especially when you’re dealing with an IP that will realistically never depict a same-sex relationship in a prominent lore position. That’s why Thassarian/Koltira and all those quirky NPC duos like Asric and Jadaar, Anren and Tholo, and Marius and Tehd are enjoyable even if I don’t actively ship anything in the fandom and most people just read them as friends.
