I do actually have a few different concepts for how I would personally rewrite IBS. The basic difference being "How far do I want to stray from canon?"
At minimum, Braham shouldn't have been done dirty and instead it should've been a contest of control. No beating him up for Problematique Writing Reasons but protecting him until he can regain control of the Destroyers so they focus on Frost Legion instead of attacking everyone.
But if I had my full way, he wouldn't have turned to Primordus like that at all, and instead would have gotten that story of being the Oathbreaker and redeeming himself as the Norn who should unite his people against their greatest threat. With Jhavi acting as a sort of representation of the Norn with how she views him changing over the story and the big deal being when she believes he can lead, showing that her view of him has gone from Oathbreaker to worthy of the title Hero of Legend through his actions.
Add in conversations with the Commander where he both expresses his feelings about his parents, and also talks about how he gets how hard our job is now that he's in a similar position. Make the false Destiny's Edge he left behind far FAR more important to the story (like have one of them be the last boss we fight before Ryland and Jormag levels important). And you've got a genuinely solid experience that doesn't trivialize characters, gives more breathing room for future stories, and doesn't add in so many plot elements we lose the focus and completely abandon the lesser developed races in favor of "now we can go to Cantha to get all our gw1 fans back yay!"
#girlbob.txt#gw2#'but how would we handle primordus when the game says without jormag we can't stop him'#1. this is a video game and the writers can change things. retcons happen all the time. the 'one weakness' thing is a retcon itself#2. that's literally an excellent story device because it puts the asura in the perfect position to explore their strengths#especially with a certain asura on our team being fundamental to changing how we perceive dragons and magic in universe#now we have a norn/charr focused story specifically about how the norn have lost so much and the charr's war culture has led to this#and then a story after that's 'jormag forced our hand and we killed them wtf do we do now that primordus is waking up'#with a focus on a massively under developed race that NEEDED real screentime to explore their fucked up parts of their culture#and really put an impact on the 'elder dragons take so much from those they exist around' aspect#since in a well written story. taimi and braham would resonate over how much both of their cultures LOST due to the dragons#the game literally doesn't address just how much was lost when the asura had to fucking abandon their homes and come to the surface#and i think it'd be interesting if the game had explored the idea that the current society#is a result of their political leaders who were the most selfish surviving the exodus#and reframing it as their intelligence and how that makes them too valuable#but now i'm getting ahead of myself

Think I'm going to make Vesta (gw2 Hornet) be the one to do SOTO so she can maybe kiss Peitha. I think Peitha's her type it could be fun. I'm kinda generally having trouble finding a reason for Osmia to be involved in SOTO at all character wise so maybe it's Vesta time and her involvement is largely suspicious demon yuri centric.

SPOILERS FOR WHAT LIES BENEATH (and gw2 in general)
I know it won’t happen but I’m possessed by the thought of a cutscene where we get Yao or someone post battle scoffing and going “yeah, like the Commander would attack us” (because so far we haven't, we’ve attacked other things in the hallucinations, but not them), and then everything to go slow mo and you see Rama or Finn yanking them back as our main weapon slides within inches of them, cutting a lock of hair or there’s a small line of a cut. Like just 100% No noise, not a sound; a blow to remove a threat as quickly as possible. 
I imagine we’d of sparred with Dragon’s Watch at times, and with Destiny’s Edge/people from earlier in the story, but they’re not here now. This isn’t playing sparring with Braham were halfway through the holding back punches turn into trying to wrestle and telling the worst jokes. This isn’t Kas throwing a shield at us mid wrestle cuz it got too rough for her liking, just to be safe. This isn’t Rytlock with a shoulder to ours when we’re getting a scolding for using 75% of that strength in a spar, only because he returned it, and he’s charr - that’s how they do, he says, a grin that’s all teeth and understanding. 
This is the one who ended the Cycle of Dragons that has been ongoing since before the universe, who slayed a God, a Lich so unkillable the previous attempts resulted in entrapping them. Who died and made Death itself offer a deal out of respect. Who’s the one the world throws at it’s problems for the past decade. The living definition of the someone yelling “again” when you go down. 
The unkillable god-slayer, lich-ending, ender of the dragon cycle and parent to an Elder Dragon has decided you are a threat. You are damn near alone with them. And you are a threat. Death makes no sound as it approaches in the eyes of your friend and all you have is someone on a comms unit screaming in reply to whatever it is your friend is saying

braham when he was 19 years old, after seeing his mother die in front of him: -is kind of a huge asshole to the Commander and was extremely face punchable, but he is still very young and working through a lot of shit-
braham: -grows up and matures during the FOUR YEARS in-universe and ultimately formally apologizes to the Commander for being an asshole to them, which the Commander accepts, and becomes a full-time member of Dragon's Watch-
way too many people years later: "god he's always been such an asshole/when has Braham never been an asshole lol/i don't care how much he actually changes he's still an asshole lol"

The concept of Tyria and what exactly it is, like in a literal, physical sense, is always a question on my mind, because the presence of the Mists as a concept make it so uniquely jumbled compared to other fictional worlds and trying to figure out whether or not certain real-life sciences and concepts take place.
Is Tyria a planet as we understand them? You can clearly look up and see the stars at night, so that has to suggest something. There was even a moment in LWS4 where the commander was briefly teleported to space alongside Braham. So it's clearly, to some extent, a physical plane...? Maybe?
Or is it even space at all? Is it just the Mists surrounding Tyria? Are the stars actually insurmountable gaps in the Mists you can simply see at night?
But if that's the case, what is the sun and the moon? Those are clearly physical things, so space has to exist on some physical level and therefore means that Tyria exists within its own universe, planetary system, and the expanding space around it, right? So, do the Mists exist outside of that?
It's so uniquely confusing. Information seems to contradict itself in a lot of different places regarding Tyria's physical lore. The Mists in general are kind of just a more complicated multiverse, but it interacts and exists within GW2's lore in such interesting ways that it makes me question a lot of how it and the "universes" within it exist.

8 for Vezz, 13 for Rosie, 11 for Rhenn, then 16 for all.
GW2 ask meme uh...4 I think?
8. What is a conspiracy theory they believe?
Vezz used to theorize that the Arcane Council and the Inquest were in bed together, but now? He knows it's a fact. So the problem is getting other people to actually listen to him in regards to that. Some people do, but for the most part, everyone thinks it's just his beef with both parties that makes him think that.
Someday, though.
13. What is a controversial in-universe take they have?
Rosie fully believes that the Krytan monarchy is doing far more harm than good, and dismantling the rule of the queen would be better for every single race in Tyria, humans included. Especially humans, really, as far as she's concerned. Just look at how many people were displaced in the collapse, and how little the monarchy cared about making sure people were housed instead of making some foolish monument to "humanity's strength."
It could be that she's a Marriner. Could be that she's from Lion's Arch. Could be a blend of both. But still.
11. How are they/How would they be drastically misinterpreted in-universe?
Rhenn is still, currently, seen much like he was when he first became the commander in the aftermath of Claw Island. As a sly, conniving Inquest thug only interested in his own climb to power, and Inquest supremacy. While that may have been true at the start, it changes pretty early on, with him starting to pull away from the Inquest as early as HoT into S3.
That doesn't change public perception, though- a lot of people can't unsee him as the egotistical pretty boy who opportunistically took over after Tebb's untimely death.
16. What is a joke idea you had for them that became canon?
For Vezz, it was that he loves taking care of his flower beds. Once he and Rissia retired to Applenook, other than his general penchant for farming, it wound up sticking, going as far back to him keeping flowers in his dorm when he was still with the Inquest.
For Rosie, it was actually shipping her with Braham. I'd had a giggle about it, but then I got attached to the idea, as a couple of kids carrying legacies too heavy for them who lose their mothers at a critical point in their lives.
Rhenn actually was the joke idea. I had joked about a member of the Inquest becoming the commander and deciding to keep at it because he lives in the world too, and he wound up becoming a really complex and tragic character on me.

[Scholar Jacqueline] Rose’s Ph.D. thesis, and the work that followed, about Peter Pan and childhood, was finding admirers. “It was groundbreaking,” the novelist Ali Smith, then a lecturer at the University of Strathclyde, said. “Nobody was writing about literature like this.” Childhood purity and innocence, Rose suggested, was an adult fabulation. Children’s literature was structured by adult desires, actual childhood having been colonized by our fantasies of it. In later years, Rose seldom returned to children’s literature, as such, but the interrogation of innocence became a lifelong project.
...
Starting in the late nineteen-eighties, a decisive shift occurred for both her and [her sister] Gillian. The sisters, as well as [cousin and prominent director] Braham Murray, then an artistic director of the Royal Exchange Theatre, in Manchester, found that their work was drawing them toward the Holocaust. Gillian, a scholar of German idealism, had immersed herself in the Holocaust theology of Emil Fackenheim; Braham, at his Manchester theatre, set a production of “Macbeth” in a Nazi death camp. Rose was defending Sylvia Plath’s controversial use of Holocaust metaphors. “I realize now that the three of us had been brought to this topic as a way of engaging a mostly unspoken part of our family history—on this, the lines that were running, strangely and unconsciously, between the three of us were clear,” Rose told me. “But there was something more.”
Murray, she said, was “blurring the ethical contours of history by forcing the prisoners to perform—through Macbeth’s burgeoning and finally uncontrollable violence—the reality of the evil to which they as Jews were subject.” And then, Rose says, there was Gillian’s “not unrelated plea that Auschwitz should not become sacred, its victims ideal innocents, its perpetrators unthinkable monsters. Nor should it be seen as absolute, unrepresentable—a horror which can only therefore be countered by an equivalently absolute act of redemption by the Israeli nation-state.”
Rose describes herself not as an anti-Zionist but as a critic of Zionism, a reader of Zionism, focusing on the nationalist movement’s insistence on its own innocence. She warns against letting victimhood—best understood as an event, something that befalls a person—become an identity. In the context of Zionism, as in the context of feminism, she has said, we “need to be endlessly vigilant in not allowing victimhood to become who we are.”
Such statements have brought swift, sometimes violent censure. The novelist Howard Jacobson based a character on Rose in his 2010 Man Booker-winning novel, “The Finkler Question”: Tamara Krausz, an academic and an “ashamed Jew” who “never appeared in public looking anything other than an executive of a fashion consultancy, at once businesslike and softly feminine.” Finkler, the protagonist, fantasizes about slitting her throat. Recently, Rose’s insistence that feminists have everything to learn from trans women alienated some former comrades. “I lost friends,” she said.
Rose’s suspicion of all notions of innocence ran through even her later reflections on South Africa’s struggles to make itself whole after apartheid. She adopted a Freudian perspective on the impossible ideals of truth and reconciliation, on the paired sainthood of Nelson Mandela and vilification of Winnie Mandela. “Why do we expect, in situations of political injustice, that virtue will accumulate on the side of the oppressed?” she wrote in the London Review of Books, her regular outlet. “At the very least, Winnie Mandela does us the favour of demonstrating how misguided that belief is. Why, then, do we rush to divest the downtrodden of the ethical ambiguity that must be everyone’s birthright?”
Parul Saghal, "How the Writer and Critic Jacqueline Rose Puts the World on the Couch" in the New Yorker

Favorite vampire media
Having spent too much of my life hyperfocused on vampires, I have a curated list of favorite vampires in media. In no particular order: 
Dracula. It’s the original big name, it’s well written (except, possibly, for Braham Stoker’s strange ideas about american vernacular), and it has a good suspenseful plot. 
Carmilla. Predates Dracula. Short, gay, and was adapted into a pretty good web series - although it’s so short, the web series is a very loose adaption. 
In the Forests of the Night/Demon in my View, by Amelia Atwater-Rhodes. First real, true, vampire books I read when I found In the Forests of the Night on my fifth grade teacher’s bookshelf one rainy recess. I had my grandparents take me to the bookstore to buy the second. Good fight scenes. Good lore.
Luminosity/Radiance, by Alicorn. Are they Twilight fanfic? yes, to a point. Are they only loosely definable as vampire stories? Yes, although I would argue that Alicorn’s Volturi are somewhat similar to a smaller scale version of the World of Darkness Camarilla. A rare piece of literature that was actively beneficial to my overall mental health. 
World of Darkness - Vampire: the Masquerade. There’s so much to unpack here, I won’t even try. I’ve enjoyed pretty much everything I’ve read about this particular universe. 
The Sims 4 vampire expansion. I once played for about ten hours straight with no regrets. I do wish they hadn’t named the master vampire Vladislaus Straud though, because my brain files him next to Strahd von Zarovich on one side and a student I have named Vladimir on the other. 
Curse of Strahd, as written and the popular “Reloaded” version put out on Reddit. There’s a lot of good lore and I am deeply pleased by the way literally every single character has some kind of dark secret - whether they know it or not. 
I would put the Vampire Lestat on here, but frankly, later books got so weird that I just can’t? I also never really got in to the whole teen paranormal romance genre, probably because I am asexual and mostly couldn’t relate to straight teenage romance fluff. Vampires can be sexy, but in my opinion, that’s a hunting tactic and should always be treated as such first and foremost.

Is Glucosamine Good for Joint Pain?
If you're looking for a supplement that may ease your joint pain, glucosamine might be worth a try. Some studies show it gives relief for mild to moderate knee osteoarthritis, and it may work for other joints, too.
What Is It?
Glucosamine is a natural chemical compound in your body. But it also comes in the form of a supplement. There are two main types: hydrochloride and sulfate.
What Does It Do?
The glucosamine in your body helps keep up the health of your cartilage -- the rubbery tissue that cushion bones at your joints. But as you get older, your levels of this compound begin to drop, which leads to the gradual breakdown of the joint.
There's some evidence that glucosamine sulfate supplements help counteract this effect, although experts aren't sure how.
Some people have also used glucosamine to try to treat rheumatoid arthritis and other conditions, such as inflammatory bowel disease, asthma, allergies, chronic venous insufficiency, sports injuries, temporomandibular joint problems (TMJ), and long-term low back pain. So far, though, there's not much scientific evidence that it works for those problems.
Can you get glucosamine naturally from foods?
Although glucosamine sulfate supplements are often manufactured from the shells of shellfish, there aren't any natural food sources of glucosamine.
What are the risks of taking glucosamine?
On the whole, glucosamine seems to be a fairly safe supplement. Side effects are generally mild. You're more likely to get them if you take high doses. They may include things like:
Upset stomach
Heartburn
Drowsiness
Headache
Risks: If you have a shellfish allergy, be cautious about using glucosamine because you could have a reaction. Also, check with your doctor before taking supplements if you have diabetes, kidney disease, heart disease, bleeding disorders, or high blood pressure.
Interactions: Check with your doctor before you use glucosamine if you take other medicines, including heart drugs, blood thinners, and diabetes drugs. Also, glucosamine isn't recommended for children or women who are pregnant or breastfeeding, because there isn't enough evidence yet about whether it's safe for those groups.
Glucosamine Sulphate – does it really help?
In the above-mentioned meta-analysis, in which a significant benefit of glucosamine hydrochloride could not be found, the effect of glucosamine with Sulphate, called glucosamine sulphate, was found. Glucosamine Sulphate has better absorbability compared to pure glucosamine for unknown reasons.  Glucosamine sulphate appears to be one of the most popular nutritional supplements for athletes and is also used by athletes with osteoarthritis. 
A study conducted by cyclists noted that glucosamine sulphate at a dose of 1500 mg-3000 mg daily reduced the circulation of CTX-II (an indicator of collagen degradation) without significantly affecting CPII (an indicator of collagen synthesis).
In many studies, they have noticed that 3 g glucosamine supplementation adjusts the serum indicator, suggesting minor collagen disorders. Collagen synthesis does not appear to be significantly affected, as observed in high-impact sports (football) and low-impact sports (cycling).
Another very interesting study was conducted by researcher Rebecca Braham in the field of epidemiology and preventive medicine at Monash University in Praharn. Rebecca together with two other colleagues examined the effect of glucosamine 2000 mg daily for 12 weeks. In addition, they also included tests that measured joint function and pain in persons with knee pain.
The sample size was relatively small, with 24 people using glucosamine and 22 using placebo. All 46 participants were suffering from knee pain due to previous cartilage damage or osteoarthritis, which was so severe that it limited them during daily activities. The function of the knee joint was measured by walking the stairs and duck walking. Participants also responded to pain questionnaires.
Researchers found that improvement occurred much faster in patients taking glucosamine sulphate (after approximately four weeks of use). The biggest advantage of glucosamine was the reduction in the amount of perceived pain. At the end of the study, 88% of people taking glucosamine sulphate reported that their knee pain improved significantly compared to 17% of people taking placebo. 
Nutritional supplements that contain glucosamine sulfate often contain other ingredients. These include Chondroitin Sulphate, MSM, or shark cartilage. Some experts believe that the combination of these substances works better than the use of glucosamine alone.
