[A small scroll wrapped in a red silk ribbon appears in your hand. You're not sure how it got there.]

"Greetings, recipient! You are invited to the Doomed by the Narrative Social, a mixer for the dead, the damned, and the really, really tired. All are welcome. This includes your other selves in the mists, so don't be surprised if you see your reflection despite the lack of mirrors!

To attend, simply eat this letter, and a shadow portal will open to whoosh you into a temporary mists pocket for the event. It should stay open long enough for up to five people to make it, so feel free to invite some friends or guild-mates along! This letter is good for...forever, really, since the portal is temporal-adjusted too!

Oh, don't forget to read the fine print at the bottom. (I didn't want to kill the formatting).

__

You found the fine print! Good job, you! alright, here's the deets. 1. Fighting is allowed in The Fight Pit only! Duke it out there so that your injuries can be looked after and nobody's drinks get spilled. 2. We're here to have fun, so keep it lighthearted! 3. This place is temporary, so you COULD trash it, but please don't! -- OH, and venue deets! Check out the tavern for dining and refreshments from far and wide. If you can think of it, we have it! Mists traversal perks 'n all."

_____________________________________

HELLO friends! I'm hosting a Mists Pocket RP event, a multiverse-style gathering where characters from all timelines and canons are welcome!

The event is January 15th, 2023 (Sunday) from 6pm to 10pm EST. NA server this time around.

We'll convene in the Lost Precipice guild hall, so you'll need to be in the squad (listed on LFG) to get in. If you don't have access to HoT maps but do have a free guild slot, you can reach out to @dasozelotvonnebenan to request an invite to the guild that he has so kindly allowed me to host in! (Please ask him well in advance if that's the case for you).

Due to the nature of this event, you are free to bring NPC clones, AU characters, commanders in their canon, and characters at any point in their stories! Just remember that if you see an npc your character would know in their canon (e.g. canach), that specific player npc might be from a timeline that wouldn't know your character! It'll be confusing, but hopefully fun.

event rules:

be respectful to one another. If you're not sure if something would cross a boundary, you can always ask OOC!

If you want to start a fight, make sure to check in ooc with those involved first - and then move it to the Pit (guild arena) if it gets too heated!

you can ALSO use the arena for friendly sparring. Go wild :)

don't actually trash up the place, please! We wanna be respectful of the space (and it's a REALLY nice one)

nobody is required to arrive on time or attend the full duration. You can always blame it on sheep's unstable portal magic and general mists instability.

[clearlitebergaming]

time to write down semi-coherent thought about EoD +it's post expac!

so.. somehow, compared to previous expac n living worlds, EoD feels uh, short? idk, im a person that space out story and not binge everything, but even then EoD feels short

the only memorable things i remember is stuffs with aurene and rama. everything else feels kinda like blurr.... i remember liking the humor.

i did the each map meta events this time. it does helps with the story. dragon's end especially. this time anet put on big achie icon to remind me 'hey, do the meta first before ending the story, or you'll feel like HoT all over again' -- which i appreciated

finale is good tho! super nice. i see they want to culminate the whole dragon cycle saga into these last part. certainly have epic feeling to it.

i like the post expac stuffs too. felt bad for rama for his bothced party. it felt super painful....

LOVING the date with canach

i also like how major npc in previous map's meta is present for gyala delve's story. it ties off nicely! still feels lack of build up and resolution tho. im used to it by this point, gw2 is never great at building up and resolution. and i already got spoiled about it, so im not disappointed to see lack of trahearne hahahaha

it IS jarring to see gw2 suddenly utilize NAKAMA POWAA in post expac in that manner. its so anime. i dont dislike it, could be written more smoothly. VA is doing amazing. wish id see more distressed commander in the future

can i say one thing tho, the part where aurene 'said goodbye' should be done in cgi / cinematic. unless somehow i dont see it....?

ok so gameplay wise. i never did high end content, so when it came to instanced boss fight, i was pleasantly surprised they have more defined pattern n mechanic in normal content. my xiv instict kicks back in >:3 still hate when doing strike that KO'd member cant be rezzed tho :<

being able to fish is highlight of this expac not ironically. i spend many time just fishing.

seitung is my fav map this time. its pretty, and easy to get around.

new kaineng is novel in that its a 'city' that is also explorable map. but novel wore off when getting around is hard. i remember i got motion sickness often when im in that map. maybe i just havent memorize ziplines n lift location. almost felt like tangled depth, but concrete. almost, but TD is worse. echovald wild.... is also a bit confusing to get around, but at least the ground level have 'clear path' i can blaze with roller beetle to get around for meta wwww dragons end is... okay. its a map for grand meta event, the main attraction is not on the scenery, as long as i can get around quickly, im fine with it.

and then, stuffs i dont like that i nitpick. the inflammatory part. the part that probably make people whos unfortunate to read this itching to make counter post in expressing disagreement (probably lol)

in the cut.

i hate they have to kill mai trin. she doesnt have to die, her death doesnt further anything. she can jsut be benched. it makes me dislike anka even more. i dont like her when shes hurting aurene, and i feel like her reasoning is stupid. she has similar vibe to scarlet in wanting destruction, but scarlet is bound to mordremoth, she has no choice. beside, making mai trin+scarlet fend off anka is super epic, it could be redemption for both girls. up to this point, i dont have 'ugh i dont like this character' in petty way, and congratz anka for earning that place (zojja came close, i dislike her being super petty and abbrassive esp to eir --i dont even like eir that much. but shes felt very different when i play as asura, shes super caring in tough big sister way. so i can let her slide)

post soo won got loose, and we have to confront joon, but joon threw a big tantrum. i understand shes stressed and not thinking clearly, loosing soo won and putting the whole cantha on energy disaster, but when she rambles about 'not sorry for being who she is/can' i was liek, "girl idk where that came from, now is not the time!" super out of left field. no one in commander side is questioning her ability, she just almost trauma dump on commander right when aurene is at stake.

now when i think about it, i got riled up real hot when either taimi or aurene got in harms way lol.

on to post expac stuffs,

stop making me care about eir goddamn it. its getting annoying at this point. i have nothing against eir, i just dont feel anything, stop making me to. if anything i felt bad for killing trahearne, but we cant have that grieve can we, anet?

of all ppl anet think commander is feeling guilty for...

you know who i feel more guilty for instead of cinder? those poor unarmed bastards smodur told me to drop bombs to inside bunker in drizzle wood.

id even go further by saying my commander still have regrets over shelling his own troops in PS, or over Tonn and Apatia's death. tho i understand anet cant do it because they long ditched permutations.

well, its not that bad actually.

will try to save to buy SOTO for now, or trying to get sule up to EoD as well.

[velancea]

1, 4, 5, 14, 15, 32, 54, 59, 65 and 78 For Vel (this is a lot) 😊😁

HEY HI I AM SO SO SO SORRY I DIDN’T SEE THIS UNTIL NOW. THIS IS VERY LATE I AM SO SORRY. THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THE ASK!!!

*****

1. What is their favorite food?

Vel isn’t much of a foodie and is used to eating what she can come across, but her comfort food for life is definitely taffy                          

4. Do they like cuddling?

She never really thought she would, especially since she knew she was a messy sleeper (nobody hesitated in telling her that the next morning. They liked to tease her about all the weird positions she would be found in). However, Canach’s solution, when they share a sleeping area, is to cuddle hold her pretty tight to himself to reduce the flailing. It works, and neither will complain about it ;)

5. Do they have a secret handshake with anyone?

Not exactly, but there’s something between Vel and Canach. It’s like a subtle fist-bump whenever they accomplish something, find a solution, make a joke, etc. Just a hidden little bump against the sides of their fists and a tiny smirk on their lips

14. What is a pet peeve of theirs?

Vel really doesn’t like whistling. It’s too high pitched and annoying. She’s had to keep herself from strangling those who do it around her

15. What was the last thing they cried about?

Upset cried was after All or Nothing when Canach found her after she ran off. She was crying about the events of the battle, the uncertainty of the future of the world, and that she had stupidly left Canach waiting for her to return her feelings all because she was a little afraid.

The most recent time she cried, though, was after War Eternal, when she and Canach finally got some alone time together and spent it rather innocently and happily. They talked about them and where they could go relationship-wise, and after settling by a river under the stars, the threw herself into his lap and cried, exhausted from recent events, and ecstatic that they could finally be together

32. Do they get stressed out easily?

Vel doesn’t exactly see her stress. In her line of work, she’s bound to have it, but never really realizes it. It’s others who are close to her that realize it, and take steps to try to ease the weight of the world from her shoulders

54. Do they know how to fish?

She does - to an extent. Trahearne taught her a long while back, but she always got distracted and impatient. Now, she’ll blast a fish with her scepter, or just cause a mess of splashing and fighting and wrestling around until she surfaces with one

59. What is their favorite song?

She doesn’t exactly have a favorite song in the GW2 time period, and it’s hard for me to choose what a favorite song would be in the modern world, but she would definitely like a lot of reggae/reggae rock!

65. What makes them smile?

Seeing those she cares about happy and at ease, and (sappily enough) spending time with Canach and taking time to relax after everything that has happened recently

78. If they had a nightmare, who would they run to?

There have been many nights where she has ended up in Canach’s tent, and he in hers, after either one of them have had a haunting nightmare. Now that they will likely be sharing a tent in coming travels, there wouldn’t be an issue of where to go. However, if they’re separated by a long way, they will contact each other via the communicator

Endings & Beginnings

Fandom: Guild Wars 2 Pairing: Trahearne x named M!Commander Chapter: 5 but can be read on its own (part of the Amaranthine series) Word count: 1377 Genre: Angst with a happy ending Trigger Warnings: Character canon death/murder, unresolved trauma

A/N: Finally got around to writing a cantha adventure for my friend! +_+ they requested angst so angst has been cranked up the wazoo. More under the cut!

She wasn’t the biggest dragon he had seen. Not the most terrifying or majestic. But in a strange way, her regal form, without glow or glimmer, was beautiful in a way that suited the dragon that had hidden herself in dark waters for so long. The mother of all dragons, Aurene’s great-grandmother, lay across the strange, watery dreamscape and spoke to him in a way only Elder Dragons could.

“Thank you, commander. Aurene has grown into a dragon her mother would be proud of,” Soo-won’s soft voice resonated throughout. Her eyes were closed as if in peaceful slumber.

“I only did what was needed,” Leverèt admitted. It was nice to talk to her face directly instead towards endless water. Still, he found himself rubbing his arms. Nervous? He wasn’t sure.

Soo-won didn’t seem to be worried herself. “What she needed was you and you were there to guide her at every step of the way. But now she will have to find her own path. And so must you.”

Leverèt frowned. What did she mean?

“Tell me, commander, when the world is at peace, what will you do?” Soo-won said, eyes opening slightly.

He looked at his dagger, sheathed on his belt. He sighed. “I’ve been fighting so long. It’s second nature by now. But… I’d like to be with friends. See them when I feel like it, when I want to catch up, and not because of necessity.”

The dreamscape abruptly shifted. No longer underwater, Lev found himself in a wooden inn, much like the one in Rurikton. The fireplace was lit, flames painting the room in a soft orange glow, breaking through the nipping cold from the door. A fresh bouquet of flowers decorated a nearby tall vase.

Seated at the tables were all his friends he had met on his adventures. Taimi, Rox, Canach, Kasmeer, Marjory, Logan, Rytlock and so, so many more. Even Zafirah was there, talking with the others. No weapons, no armor. Only casual clothing on everyone.

“They’re here,” Lev uttered and went to them. A friendly waiter handed him a drink and everyone cheered, raising their glass. To what, Lev wasn’t sure, but it didn’t matter. It was good. Safe. He couldn’t help but smile.

One chair was empty. The lack of person was such a dire contrast to the happiness of the room that it was impossible to miss. Lev’s eyes wandered to it and he brushed his hand over the dusty top.

“Who is…” he started to ask, when the chair slowly started to sprout. Leaves and vines, carefully growing, climbing their way around the wood.

“I’m sorry for your loss, commander,” Soo-won’s voice was a bell, breaking through the serenity.

It took a moment for Leverèt to understand what she meant. As the leaves turned a brownish-green, softly emitting a glow of purple, did he realize who was missing.

“Trahearne's not here…” he whispered. Tears started to form in the brim of his eyes without wanting them to. In a morbid way, he always knew that this would happen. Not everyone would make it to the end. He had grieved in what little time he could spare for himself.

But he couldn’t prepare himself for what Soo-won said next.

“You couldn’t save him.”

Deep in the jungle, grotesque corrupted creatures, roots growing out of their skulls, flashed before his eyes. An overgrown cave, a hidden heart. A pod with a sylvari embedded in it, almost unrecognizable, disfigured face and body. Leverèt suddenly bent over, clutching his legs to keep his balance.

“No,” He hyperventilated. “Not again, I don’t want to see it again-”

Soo-won was relentless. “You did what you had to do. What you wanted to do.”

“Kill me,” Trahearne begged the one thing you only ask of a lover when you felt nothing but desperation. And he had. He watched helplessly as he took up Trahearne’s own sword and plunged it right into both their hearts. There was an endless scream, and the commander heard Trahearne’s voice in it, though his mouth was no longer his to control. The marshall split apart by magic, blinding them all until he was back in the inn. But the warmth was gone, replaced by a shadow with eyes that pierced through him, ones he couldn’t look at.

“I wanted-! I knew, there was no more time-” he sobbed. He fell on his knees. The vines on the inn chair started to strangle the wood, breaking the legs and back.

“Did you even try? You were not alone.”

Around them, his friends still laughed and joked, but their shrill voices stung his eardrums. If he dared look at one of his allies, he would get a gleam of mockery. They were not cheering for him. They did not care.

“Stop!” Lev screamed, trying to shield his sight with his hands. “I would’ve given everything to save him!”

“But you didn’t.”

The wooden chair splintered apart, pieces flying off and remained suspended in the air. Lev clutched his head to make it all stop, but all he heard was his own mocking voice.

Gone. Lost, lost forever, a world without him and Leverèt had to keep going. He was never going to make it. 

He was never going to hear his voice.

His voice…

He heard something.

It was faint, but there was definitely a voice calling his name. Lev carefully let go of his head and stood up. The inn was gone, only complete and utter darkness left. For a moment he worried he had gone blind, when he noticed he could still see his own hands.

“Leverèt!” he heard again. A glimmer of light from above. Lev narrowed his eyes to focus on it. It made him wonder - where exactly was he?

As he tried to claw through the suffocating darkness, he slowly remembered. He had lost Trahearne. He had killed him. But… it wasn’t just that. He remembered the courier who had rushed to him with the news. And he in turn had dropped all to head to the Grove. Because Trahearne had been reborn, through a magic that no one understood.

Trahearne was alive.

And they had gone to… Cantha. To a country both of them had only heard of from stories, full of lush green, cherry blossoms and completely dependent on dragon energy. Energy Soo-Won provided. Energy that was being corrupted by the void.

The void! This impossible blackness gripping him, it was the void!

He had been defending Taimi's and Joon's cannon until they were overrun. The void must have trapped him, tricking him into despair.

Like clarity in his mind, the light expanded. He could see Aurene’s brand at the edges, expanding further. He tried to reach for the light. Of course Aurene would not leave him to his dire fate. But she wasn't alone.

A warm hand clutched his arm. Lev grasped theirs with his own, feeling the quickening pulse underneath leaves. Being pulled forward, he finally saw a face.

"There you are," smiled Trahearne, though Lev did not miss the worry in his eyes. Leverèt held on for his dear life, accepting the embrace that followed. He didn't notice the void fading away, standing on a stone building in the middle of the Jade Quarry. His friends were all around, fighting dragon minions - but he allowed himself a moment to hug his lover longer.

"You saved me, thank you," Lev said, burying his face in the leafy armor. Trahearne laughed.

"All thanks to Aurene, who intervened within a second."

A second? Time truly passed differently within the void.

In the distance he heard Soo-won, roaring as the void gripped her mind. Aurene appeared, flying down to face him, the bright light of her crystals battling the dark swirls overhead. Lev and Trahearne let go, facing the beautiful dragon.

"Come, champion. It is time," she spoke.

Lev nodded. There was a lot he had to process. But as often, now there was no time. However, he hoped that for a long time, this was the last time he would swallow his fears. He grasped Trahearne’s hand and grinned as his lover squeezed it. Determined, he replied.

"You're right. Let's end this and begin an age of peace for us all."

To a Shine

Summary: Styran tries to have a peaceful day off and do some spring cleaning.

Word Count: 1068

Genre: Angst and some fluff.

There had been a time when Styran had been able to look Trahearne in the eye.

“You can’t ignore me forever, Commander.”

They’d welcomed it, actually, whether it be the approval of a mentor, the trust of a friend, or, later, the stolen glances that were the only way they’d allowed themselves to be anything more than Marshall and Commander until the Pact had stopped Mordremoth.

“Honestly, I’d expect this kind of behaviour from your siblings, not you.”

Styran continued slowly polishing their axe, still deliberately ignoring Trahearne as they do so. After they had finished with Veilrender, they moved to the now-repaired Caladbolg, which hadn’t been used in some years - neither they nor Trahearne had needed it, after all, for varying reasons.

“Commander!”

They could feel Trahearne move closer, see the purple glow he emitted grow brighter across Caladbolg, pronouncing their shadow against the blade. They finished polishing the blade and moved to place it in the decorative holder they’d had Ren (the Vegan) design in exchange for helping her out with advice for a first date (they’d suggested she take her date to a bar in the Grove. Most of what they served there was Vegan purely for lack of animals around to make products from.) Caladbolg had rested on it as a monument since, slowly gathering dust as a small reminder of the victories against -

“Styran. Please.”

The noise Caladbolg made when it fell was a strange mix of a hollow wooden thump and a sharp metallic clang.

“Styran. Please.” Trahearne had begged them as he’d stood trapped by roots of Mordremoth, convinced and worrying about the Jungle Dragon still festering in his mind as a seed.

“No. No no no no no n-” they’d rambled as he pointed to Caladbolg, the scar on the side of his face making them unable to meet his eyes before he’d taken his hands and directed their face to look at him.

“Please. Look at me.”

“Just leave, Trahearne.” They bent to pick up Caladbolg again, ignoring the way their hands now shook as they placed it more firmly on the shelf. “I need time to myself.”

“You need help, Styran. Let me help you. You don’t need to suffer alone.”

“And yet, here I am. I’m fine, believe me. If something was the issue, I’d go back to therapy. For now, I’m enjoying the break I have with my siblings.”

Trahearne’s steps were silent as he crossed the room, reaching for Caladbolg with a silent sigh, gently running a hand over it. “You deserve to be happy, Commander,” he murmured as he turned back to Styran, the scar running down half of his face a stark contrast against the rest of him, the only glow coming through being the purple running around his eyes. “Let me help you be happy again.”

“You can’t help, Marshal. Not anymore.” Styran turned away once again,  moving to grab a journal left on their desk and sit down, trying their best to ignore the purple glow coming from behind them. “Please, just leave.”

“You know I can’t do that.” Trahearne was right and annoyingly stubborn. That wouldn’t stop Styran from trying to ignore him, though. 

“I can wish, Trahearne. I can wish.”

There was silence for a good few minutes, and Styran almost allowed themselves to think he’d gone despite the light being emitted from the Sylvari behind them. The only noise that filled the room was that of breathing and Styran’s Pen scratching against paper. It was almost peaceful.

All peace comes to an end. That was a lesson Styran knew well. 

“What are you writi—”

The door burst open. Catragna never knew how to knock, or, more likely, didn’t care about a social custom she deemed silly and not worth her time, and so never thought to. “STYRAN! I hope you aren’t busy, we have to go to Amnoon!”

Said brother blinked. “Wha - I - yes, I’m not busy, what do you need now, Cat?”

“You sure about that? I could have sworn I heard talking coming from this room.” Canach was behind Cat, looking mildly annoyed and extremely tired - unusual, given the daylight outside. Styran almost pitied him for also being dragged into Cat’s scheme.

They didn’t have to look behind themself to know that Trahearne was gone, only a quickly fading purple butterfly being any evidence he was there at all. 

“Just my clones. It’s all I can do for intelligent conversation here, given that I live with you two.” The half-truth was spun with just enough affectionate sarcasm that Canach and Cat didn’t question it too much, though they didn’t miss the sceptical glance from the oversized cactus.

Even concern for his sibling couldn’t override Canach’s overwhelming natural instinct to sass everyone he conversed with. “They say that talking to yourself is the first sign of madness, you know.” 

“That does explain a lot about Cat…”

“Rude,” Cat said, but she looked pleased somehow. Almost as if she had secretly taken Styran’s remark as a compliment. “Anyway, Amnoon, now, let’s go.”

“Alright, Cat, alright. But if this ends in you burned and passed out in front of a statue again, I will leave you there to Waypoint by yourself.”

“Agreed.”

That got a half-hearted laugh from all three siblings, before Cat was back to bouncing on her feet and itching to move after exactly one point three six two four seconds.

“Anyway, I’m going to get the Raptors ready. Let’s go!”

The smile Styran had on their face was tired and affectionate as they ruffled Cat’s leafy hair. “You go on ahead. I need to grab a few things first.”

“Don’t be too slow!” And Cat was gone, wisps of shadow all that remained where they’d stood.

“Oh, for the love of - well, I guess we should get going. Let me just grab Veilrender, and -”

“Brother.”

Styran paused and waited for Canach to continue speaking, their axe now in their hand.

“Who did it look like this time?”

“It’s getting worse. I’ve never heard of Mesmers summoning clones that look like others unintentionally. I’m thinking it could be related to the overwhelming amounts of magic Cat and I have been exposed to over the years, but -”

“That doesn’t answer the question, Styran.”

Styran’s next words, uttered after a pause and a sigh, made Canach’s blood - or whatever the Sylvari equivalent was - go cold.

“It was Trahearne.”

i’m gonna do some very boring character lineup posts just so i can have references for their current outfits and basic info (if i have it)

m a i n • c h a r a c t e r s:

mirage counseling | iona sedille, 28, mesmer (mirage)  - commander at the end of LWS4, leaving position at start of LWS5. Previously my most used character, only one I’ve gone through the story with.

oh no i mist | vaxthys priorsdottir, 30, revenant (renegade OW, herald WvW) - Very much a loner. Most of my characters interact with at least one other character but Vax does not. 

grave errors | jannu, 20, necromancer (reaper OW, scourge WvW) - currently my youngest non-sylvari character. Assists Taimi with whatever dragon-stopping, bad-butt-kicking tech she can. Is constantly trying to make new weapons for the Commander to use. Best friends with Maeve.

plz romaine calm | maeve, 12, guardian (dragon hunter / firebrand split) - Girlfriend of Cami. Heavily involved with the Priory and aiding the Commander. Fairly close with Iona, very close with Caithe, Canach, and Braham. Best friends with Jannu.

Wait has anyone asked about Eridunis yet? Tell me about the boy please!

not until now! i’d be happy to, thank you so much!!

B A S I C S

full name: Eridunis Thackeray Hypericum (i feel like he would take some last names because now he has a family!)

gender: boy

sexuality (girls whats my weakness): men!

pronouns: he/him

family: orphan :( and then Logan sort of socially adopts him at…. 20….. and then he marries Arkus and gains a family with Dragon’s Watch

birthplace: somewhere in Divinity’s Reach or possibly Queensdale, but he’s dropped off in the Salma District pretty immediately

job: Pact Commander! and house husband, sometimes

phobias: small, enclosed spaces, walls coming alive, and feeling like he’s dreaming and can’t wake up

guilty pleasures: PDA lol–he sort of doesn’t like it, but when he can get away with holding hands or smooching without people seeing, it’s like a shot of adrenaline. also pastries

M O R A L S

morality alignment?: probably neutral good like Arkus–he wants to do the right thing, but the right thing might not always align with the law

sins- lust/greed/gluttony/sloth/pride/envy/wrath i think these two are pretty evenly matched for him, but he definitely gets very… passionate… when things go wrong or if Arkus is hurt; otherwise, he’s learned that he can hold himself in high regard now because of his status

virtues- chastity/charity/diligence/humility/kindness/patience/justice he knows what’s right and wrong so he’ll follow through!! and he also comes from nothing so he gives where he can

T H I S - O R - T H A T

introvert/extrovert: extrovert mostly! he doesn’t like parties, but he does like being around people! sometimes he just needs a break

organized/disorganized: he’s sort of both… he keeps his home very organized, but his inventory is not

close minded/open-minded: open-minded for sure

calm/anxious: anxious :( but where he frets over decisions before he makes them, he’s calm afterwards!

disagreeable/agreeable: it depends… he originally was pretty disagreeable (like in the heart of maguuma) but he’s mellowed out since then; now he’s open to other voices

cautious/reckless: very cautious after being reckless for years starting out

patient/impatient: patient for the most part… sometimes he has a short fuse

outspoken/reserved: very outspoken! he’s only reserved when it comes to his personal life

leader/follower: big leader!

empathetic/unemphatic: super empathetic

optimistic/pessimistic: huge pessimist :(

traditional/modern: modern!

hard-working/lazy: super hard-working

R E L A T I O N S H I P S

otp: married to Arkus

ot3: Arkus and Canach lol but sometimes he and Arkus summon Joko from the underworld to hang out lmao

brotp: well it would be SOME PEOPLE who are NO LONGER WITH US, right now it’s probably Taimi. or Logan but he’s more of a fotnp (fatherly one true uh non-pairing)

notp: anyone… else… who isn’t Arkus lol

thank you again ;u;

#ty so much ;o; #eridunis tag #redwoods words #gw2 #i think i chose the perfect picture for this one

[velancea]

V-3 E-3 L-3 A-3 N-2 C-5 E-5 A-5 for, well, Vel of course

aww yeahh! more cabbage time!

-/-/-

V.3 - are they good at comforting someone ill?

- Comfort isn’t really one of Vel’s strong suits period, but she definitely tries! When it comes to someone who is sick, she does her best to get them what they need, but often her words of comfort don’t do much for them. However, they don’t have the heart to tell her that she should just stop talking, and they just smile and nod along, knowing she truly is trying her best

E.3 - do they follow trends or do their own thing?

- Vel typically does her own thing, but if something new and seemingly fun pops up that doesn’t strike her as absolutely ridiculous, she’ll try it out for a bit. More often than not, she would be too forgetful to stick to a trend for very long

L.3 - are there any foods they hate?

- Vel is certainly a foodie, and there isn’t much she really /hates/ - especially given all of the crazy things she’s eaten that she definitely /should not have/ in her adventures as the commander.

A.3 - what abilities do they have that they’ve worked for?

- I wouldn’t say this is really an ability, but she has certainly worked for the respect she gets, even though her ranking intimidates her a little bit

N.2 - what have they never done that they want to do?

- Let’s be real, here: take a vacation. Go to a beach, drink in hand, with the cactus man at her side, chilling under the sun

C.5 - who is the best at comforting them when down?

- The person best at comforting her is the person who knows her the best, and it still shocks her a bit to say that it’s Canach. He’s known her for a very long time, and they bonded while he was imprisoned in Vigil Keep, and the two had a certain… /relationship/ during HoT. It wasn’t until Vel was fighting to reclaim herself in the Domain of the Lost that she realized just how /often/ he was there for her

E.5 - do they portray their personality intentionally or let people figure it out on their own?

- Vel is very outgoing and doesn’t often hide things about herself, but there are things that people only get to see when they’ve spent enough time with her, so if they figure her out, they figure her out. She neither spells it out for them or hides it

A.5 - what is their most impressive talent?

- One is that she is a very talented climber! Her first thought when coming to a large mountain or barrier in her way is to climb it (often without realizing she has others in her group who cannot do that - especially dolyaks). It’s not often that a barrier has stopped her, but if it has, you can bet she had tried for at least an hour or so to scale it. Canach remarks that she has “the agility of a squirrel.”

- Another is that she can play the saxophone really well - something nobody really believes until they see/hear her do it!

#thank you so much for the ask! #disaster-bi-canach #velancea #commander vel #gw2

4, 17, and 31?

Heeeey thanks for asking stuff. I am not used to questions, so this is new and refreshing

4. Whats your favourite race?

Nnnnnggghhhhh I love norn. I love sylvari. I can write entire thinkpieces about why I love them both but they will just be long takes on two opinions: I love how norn are boastful and spiritual and I love how sylvari are sensitive and brave. I can’t choose and I am so sorry.

17. Whats your best guild wars experience?

Listen, that to the left is @disaster-bi-canach‘s Sinéad, the other norn lady is Kyrie. We literally behave like this two are in this picture, and our adventures are the best gw2… no, MMO experience I could have gotten. Highlights of our long string of shenanigans include:

-Sinéad Steinbrecher screaming “CONCHETUMADRE” in map chat. Attracting all latinxs in Kessex.

-The long discussion about Trahearne being the father of Aurene because he kinda sorta “fertilized the egg“ (The chat is in spanish but IT IS REAL)

-”I AM THE GODDESS OF BULLSHIT PARKOUR“

-”Listen Ren, I have a stupid idea“ “LET’S DO IT“

-WvW being Gay Culture (is a long story with 2 sylvari boys and the huge norn commander of the castle in EBG)

-”I am angry let’s go and kill Svanir/Separatists“

And billions more, I swear. This reckless nerd is an endless source of adventures

31. Do you have a favourite dye?

P E R M A F R O S T. Though I dont have it. Because I didnt have enough money when it was sold and now it costs an arm and a leg. If that does not count, then celestial, I need things to be S H I N Y.
