#Wrenn does Not

sneaks books on bad puns and gneius invokation into wrenn's things

“Hmm…?”

Wrenn had been tidying up his text books when he found the stray books, a brow raising as he read the titles. These were definitely not his. Maybe someone misplaced them?

With a small shrug, he separated the books out of the pile, making a mental note to try and find the owners.

When we were starting, I was terrified. I've never been so terrified in my career. How do you take on 62, in Russia, speaking Russian? How has she changed? It felt like other than the essential core of who this person was, everything else was different. Trying to figure out how to navigate that over the course of six months, there were just days where it was very hard not to let the actual terror of that take over me. But I also think in some ways the fact that there was so much, there was just a certain point at which I was, you just gotta stop thinking about it and just d o. Every day, just do. It felt like the three seasons were about how the relationships had changed, and the confidence that comes with rising through the ranks. And this season I was just like, holy shit!

Wrenn HC:

Wrenn loves and absolutely cherishes his mother and is even protective of her as he is with his sisters, however he sees her as very weak; having grown up at a point where he witnessed her succumbing easily to her emotions, insecurities, and Charidynn’s oppression. Despite Allisae being a literal god now, Wrenn still views his mother as frail and faint of heart, and this extends to his sisters to some degree as well.

#{ eyes of an angel } wrenn #(( not that Wrenn would ever disrespect them )) #(( he really truly does love them )) #(( but growing up and seeing his mother treated the way she was just kinda left an imprint in his brain )) #(( that women need to be protected and treated delicately )) #(( Tae was/is the same way for the same reasons ))

have i mentioned my new wrenn hawke idea where they die during the arishok fight and their corpse gets possessed by a spirit who thinks theyre wrenn.

#i havent committed to this yet. but i am sooo. so tempted. #also this would make merrill so fucking haunted. #im probably sticking with this tbh. #da #da2 #wrenn hawke #haunted worldstate #rambles #this does make the image of anders and merrill attempting to break this news to the rest of the party like. immensely funny though. imo.

the splat pools are probably one of the coolest things theyve added to splatoon so far, i love seeing the lobby full of people i joined the same space with , plus it feels strangely more comfortable than queueing against everyone

#wrenn thinks #<- has had such a bad experience with online games even splat got tainted for me for a while lmao #it does suck that the communication to other players is limited but i get why they did it #i want a thank you button :(

We want to make an active attempt to use this blog, but we're struggling to figure out... what to use it for, exactly.

Or, if we should have our own side blogs instead, where we post whatever we like. We're not sure how we want to go about this, or how we should go about this.

Any tips or ideas as to how to make things work?

#Wrenn #And Evan is kind of here too #We're both pondering how to go about this #Because we want to make more posts but... yeah. #Doesn't help that no one else but Rye's been fronting as hard lately? #At least #I'm struggling with it... Mmm. #I think Rye got scared at some point and locked down the system possibly #I want to come out more often though #and so does Evan

Lily: *looks up at Orpheus* o.o

Lily: :D *bunny ears on the Orpheus*

"Oh, you are..." Wrenn's little sister Lily, he assumed. And she had in her hands... bunny ears? Ah, it was that day of the year, wasn't it. Well, since there was no harm in it, Orpheus just smiled a bit, and leaned down so the little girl could reach.

"I hope I look alright, young miss. Thank you for this~"

#soraeia #Ask the Servant;; #i feel like orpheus is one of those who's surprisingly pretty ok with kids #the fact that lily is wrenn's sister does help too

and samut has now exited thru the red/green walker revolving door

#op #how does this keep happening its so funny #sarkhan -> colorshifted almost on arrival. domri -> died badly. wrenn -> colorshifted almost on arrival AND died badly #xenagos -> died badly on arrival. lukka -> died badly TWICE #theres arlinn but she cant show up anywhere but innistrad bc of mechanical identity that has production requirements

Really wondering about the discrepancy between the actual story of Wrenn and Eight and the story told through flavor text and MtGA voicelines.

("Realmbreaker, come out. You serve my will.")

It's really disappointing to me because the bond between Wrenn and Eight is one of the few things I think the Phyrexian arc did right. It's crucial to Wrenn's character that she has compassion for Eight, a Phyrexian child who called for help, despite his role in the invasion. The fact that this other story puts her in the position as another of his abusers, bending him to her will, does them both extremely dirty and contradicts what I'd have thought was a pretty fundamental/early building block of the narrative.

There is only one muse that Wrenn thinks would be a 10/10. You'll never guess who it is.

#muse: Wrenn #V; Maybe I've Had One Too many #gjnhkjfnhfkjlnhkfnhbft #Hint: The ship is an insane rarepair #I don't think anyone will get it LMAO #Good luck trying to guess tho #Hint: It's NOT Kaveh he's an 8/10 #I forgot to specify that Kaveh does have a rating LMAO

When Wrenn's tree retires, does the tree become rooted to the ground like real-life trees? How are One, Two, Three, Four, Five, and Six living their life?

Six gets dropped off in a side story in Midnight Hunt and seems fine. Their bond makes them treefolk and it seems like once they part they’re not as animate anymore.

All jokes aside, and acknowledging most of the MoM story has been highly enjoyable so far, it's a terrible waste what was done with Lukka.

Speaking from the minority position here, I found Lukka to be a pretty interesting character in The Sundered Bond. Here you have a character with a very earnest and dedicated nature, made hard by the necessity of the plane/world he was born into. You then have that character forcibly thrust into a position where, as a bonder, he must now question the life he's led up to that point, leave behind everything he knows, and survive against the hostilities of the very society he once protected.

And he screws up! He screws up big time! He comes close to making positive decisions that could have brought him to a more sympathetic relationship with the creatures of Ikoria, but events, the aforementioned hostilities, and (often overlooked, I think) direct manipulation by the voice in the Ozolith put him in a situation where he makes horrible decisions and hurts people. And he does so while, and I think this is very important, genuinely thinking he is acting in the best interest of the people and place he calls home.

The man himself has a lot of issues, and flaws aplenty, but I was excited to see him show up again in future stories, to see where this complex take on the monored character would go, and how he would bump up against the rest of the multiverse. He had a lot of growing to do, but that journey of growth was off to an interesting start.

Instead, I get the impression the creative decision was to look at the general backlash against Lukka following The Sundered Bond, throw up hands, and go "hey look! we're in on the joke too; look at this idiot and how bad he sucks!"

And the result, quite frankly was...some pretty weak storytelling? Lukka's Strixhaven storyline (like the villains he aligned with) was sort of a big nothing - a really awful act of violence against an institution of children and young adults with poorly explored motivation and no real follow-up in any subsequent plotlines. His compleation story was interesting enough, but then gets followed up on by a story that seems to exist purely to kill him off in he most humiliating way possible, every character in-universe acting with a very deliberate disdain for him before he can get two sentences out of his mouth.

I absolutely understand why Lukka wasn't a popular character. His motivations and worldview are entirely too self-centered, and he didn't win any fans by being much less sympathetic to his animal bonds in the novelization of the Ikoria set than appeared to be on the cards.

Still, wouldn't it have been more interesting to GIVE us something to care about in regard to Lukka rather than swing him around a bit like a rag and toss him in the bin just because his introduction to the story was a mis-fire? Isn't the magic story better served by an attempt to make something enjoyable out of him than just shit-can him for a (if I may be so bold, not even particularly witty) laugh?

I think so, fwiw.

PS - I write all of the above well aware that, for any of the compleated and killed walkers so far, one could make the argument they've been done narratively dirty. Personally, I would argue that so far those walkers have all been given a depth of previous stories Lukka has not, and that they, notably, have been granted POV sections in the stories where they are either killed or presumed killed. I would also not for a moment mean to diminish the negative feelings folks have about other walkers dying in the MoM story. The above critique is all ultimately very subjective, and I hope is taken as such.

PPS - Majorly telling, imho, that Lukka gets written off as a moron for trying to use his SOLE magical ability to bond with Phyrexians in order to survive and save others in ONE, but Wrenn bonding with Realmbreaker gets no such scrutiny, because the narrative rewards one and not the other

Wrenn and Realmbreaker left an acorn, and Teferi planted it on Zhalfir.

Does it mean Zhalfir is going to be the setting for next Un-set?

Maybe. : )

Why Lukka and Not Wrenn

I seen people making this compassion and I don't really get it.

Realmebreaker DID try to infect Wrenn when she bonded with him and we see her suffering and struggling for it. But she did had some defenses against it thanks to Melira’s magic (At least I think she does) and Chandra’s help to keep her anchor and fuel her will. She is aware of Realmbreaker intent and -because of it- fights against it.

Lukka, on the other hand, started to accept he creature opinions and ideas and loosing track of his own (Like not realizing he changed paths). That was his downfall. He never realized he was being corrupted and so, he couldn't fight it.

In summary: A) Different creatures and how they tried to complete their planeswalkers B) Different planeswalker with different personalities/knowledge. C) Different assets to deal with the infection.

PS: She wasn't completed but she payed a high price to avoid doing so and bond with the Realmbreaker

#I would also argue that Wrenn only bonded with the tree and goes into this mad adventure because Realmbreaker sang to her #She knows the tree -somewhere- has its own will and that it is hurting as much - if not more- than everyone else. #It wasnt the same sittuation at all #Poor Lukka was doomed from the start #MtG #Magic the gathering #March of the Machines #Lukka #Wrenn #every now and then I have opinions
