I dunno I wanna believe in my own headcanon that the Elder Dragons weren't always these all-consuming forces of nature, but instead were once benevolent and well-meaning forces of Tyria that just succumbed to dragon madness due to the high volume of magic they had to consume in order for Tyria to stay stable, much like that of the dragons of Fire Emblem franchise

i have. mixed feelings on the "inspect cosmetics" option that anet has put into the game.

cus on one hand i am naturally curious, and being able to see what ppl use for outfits is nice, especially bc hunting singular pieces down is a nightmare.

but on the other hand, i am (and have been) SO incredibly paranoid about people stealing my ocs because they're all extremely personal to me, and being able to see exactly what dye combos and gear pieces i'm using gives people one less obstacle to do so if they want to be particularly malicious.

#from beyond the grave #''but nick. you play WoW and they have the same exact thing'' i know! i don't know why this is different in my brain!! #i think it might be the dye part that is making my brain wiggly #if the inspect cosmetic thing didn't *also* include the dyes you're using i'd be more fine with it? because then it's just the armor pieces #and with a bit of eyeballing you can usually figure out what those are in the wardrobe section without the inspection #(which just makes it easier at a glance) #and the dyes make it more personalized and unique #idk man i go thru bouts of slapping my entire toyhouse with auth only because i have a months-long bout of paranoia re: oc theft #it's absolutely A Sickness In My Brain

Alright, I’ve personally been wondering what other people’s opinions on this would be, so

Hawthorn

I am the first to affectionately call Canach a cactus - and it is fitting! both physically and in terms of his prickly character - BUT! Allow me to bring forth an alternative! Canach is not a cactus. He is a hawthorn.

As a sapling, Canach arboured light green bark, and white leaves / petals, his features remarkably devoid of thorns.

Come a few years and a few hardship, and there's Canach as we now know him, his bark turned dark grey and quite a few thorns marring his features.

And now for the comparison. Hawthorn.

As for how far as the comparison goes...

Hawthorns are shrubs, or small trees.

Their bark is dull brown with vertical orange cracks.

The name itself is derived from the anglo-saxon word 'haguthorn' meaning "wall of thorns". "The bramble walls were a stroke of genius. If I do say so myself."

And as for the symbolism of hawthorn, they are associated with protection and isolation, thriving in defensive, thorny hedges, and as solitary trees, with love and renewal, blooming in may, and with death.

If your oc was a canon character what bad takes/gross mischaracterizations would the fandom come up with for them

#i've literally given up on sharing any of my gw2 content on my blog and have stuck to reblogging things <3 #because every time. EVERY time. i write something and post it there is zero interaction. no comments. barely any likes. #and it's been that way every. single. time. no matter what! even talking DIRECTLY to people about my stuff is a 30% chance that person care #have literally talked headcanons to people WHO ASKED ME ABOUT MY HEADCANONS and oc backstory!!! and they NEVER RESPONDED. #amazing.

there are characters for whom “poor little meow meow” doesn’t quite cut it. To me he’s like a traumatized pit bull mix with a bite history and I’m the white girl with a savior complex trying to stop them from putting him down

guild wars community, i bestow some treats to you:

absolute truckloads of concept art, generally organized by type. these pages are weirdly buried on the wiki and presumably easier to find if you're a wiki editor, but a lot of the images in these folders aren't linked to any other pages so they're very easy to miss.

check out these ungulate-like asura (and underground asura !!) concepts from gw1:

as well as a gw2 concept for a stingray-like asura naval ship/floating fortress:

HEY, since I've been seeing her reblog stuff from a lot of folks in the GW2 community, including people I follow, here's a warning to y'all:

Avoid queer-as-used-by-tolkien at all costs.

She's well-known to be ableist, racist, homophobic, and transphobic. Here's a post that has links to proof for many of those.
