wanted to do a physical timeline for my commander and highlight how he’s changed through the years. this is mostly for my own entertainment BUT I do enjoy seeing the same thing from other folks so I’m posting it here in the hopes that other people share my sentiment.

(I was ALSO totally inspired by @/manasurge’s hair timeline. it kicks ass. go look at it.)

elaboration/rambling below the cut!

Personal Story, LW1-2: Popped out of the pod blunt, solicitous, and already maybe a little too paranoid for someone who was born yesterday, but all those traits made him uniquely qualified for a position in military leadership. Healthy and floral, soft aspen-bark-like skin, delicate petals. black anthers produce pollen. undergoes more fashion changes than physical transformations during this time. gets a little banged up here and there (and maybe has some lasting respiratory effects from the toxic alliance era) but overall feelin a-okay.

Heart of Thorns: it’s all gone to shit. took a spectacular headdive in both a physical and mental sense with breakneck speed. never “officially” answered mordremoth’s call, but anyone who spent time around him would notice a distinct lack of self control and logical thinking. took on a more sickly pallor, stress caused leaves to shrivel, rot, and decay. lost his lil flower top notch and ability to produce pollen. pupils narrowed to take on a more animalistic look, and enamel growth resulted in sharper, larger teeth. fingers also elongated into claws. never fully physically and mentally recovered from the hell jungle.

LW3: chopped off most of his leaves to encourage fresh growth. lots of physical healing during this time, though it takes quite a while for his complexion to fully recover. takes on the role of aurene’s champion with gusto. relatively unaffected by bloodstone, but feels the effects of mordremoth’s loose/uncontrolled magic deeply. continues to hear mordremoth’s “voice” and is diagnosed with paranoid schizophrenia.

Path of Fire: still healing from HoT. continues to grow out his leaves. glow returns, as well as some of his eye color. likes the crystal desert, but finds the harsh, dry climate to be particularly challenging; he’s definitely more of a ‘temperate’ sylvari. does not handle dying well. death only adds to his paranoia and psychosis. has an increasingly hard time picking apart what is real and what is…. not.

LW4: let’s get ready to kill an undead lich!!!! absorbs even more magic after the death of joko and kralkatorrik, and it starts to show in a there-and-gone shimmery aura that takes on a similar appearance to ley lines. starts to suffer from migraine auras. flower top notch grows back, but stays closed and dormant. picks up a few nifty necromancy tricks from the elonians, and the tips of his fingers start to show signs of necrotic decay; all that death magic can’t be good for the complexion, can it?

Icebrood Saga: having another dragon in his head does not help his mental health in the slightest. braided leaves (courtesy of braham <3) to protect against frostbite. his ley “aura” gets more intense, hard to miss, and is a near constant. flower topnotch remains closed due to the cold weather conditions. after being shot by bangar, his wound is covered/healed by aurene’s brand. migraines increase in frequency, makes it difficult for him to focus. a bone deep exhaustion starts to set in, and more often than not, he catches himself thinking that a nice long nap underneath a blanket of snow doesn’t sound so terrible….

End of Dragons: back in a more agreeable climate, his topnotch finally blooms, but does not grow anthers or produce pollen. easily physically corrupted by void magic, and he feels soo-won’s pain and struggle deeply. the void corruption eventually shows up in the form of darkening leaves, and seeping out of his eyes/tearducts (it’s fine. don’t worry about it.). starts to incorporate chaos magic into his own necromancy practices. has a fucking terrible time in gyala delve. has a fucking terrible time saying goodbye to aurene.

Secrets of the Obscure: nothing feels entirely real to him anymore. still willing to help, to fight, but it’s done on autopilot at this point. this magical, floating palace in the sky looks and feels like a dream, with the kryptis acting as the encroaching, inevitable turn to a real, living nightmare. still uses a bit of leftover void in his magical practices, but most of the corruption has left his system. that respiratory illness he picked up back in kessex hills comes back to bite him in nayos. finally grows back his anthers, but instead of producing pollen, it's an outlet for void/magic energy.

WIP Wednesday !

Because I'm rereading my wips and I found this... single... endless sentence.

@lilypixy when can I no longer hide behind the 'it's my writing style' excuse ? 😆

The shadow of Kralkatorrik obscured the last simmering remains of Balthazar, but before Kodash and the pyramid where the god killers had brought an end to the War Eternal vanished, lost too, to the dragon's appetite, it withdrew, sated, — its eyes briefly setting on the crystalline hatchling standing defensively on the edge of the platform, energy radiating from her crystals, a tempest brewing inside as she curled and coiled, pained, confused, terrified chirps ruffling her scales as she shimmered with unbridled magic, volatile plumes like lightning coursing her and her Champion — lazily turning to the east to disappear beyond the scarred horizon.

Replaying POF. Something really deeply funny about how alone the Commander feels going into path of fire. Like if the Commander has a character flaw it's hyper independence.

So the commander is going into the desert to fight the god of war and you only ask for a ride. That's it. And if you would have asked some Shining blade more than likely could have been spared, you could have gone to the pact for aid.

And Then half your friends who aren't busy or bedridden or mad af at you, show up any fucking way. Rylock just like "what up hear you where tussling with the god of war, I want in" he has zero clue that it's the same dude he met in the mist he's not even there for atonement his just there for vibes.

Speaking of just vibes. Coming in with "I was bored heard you where here so like what's up? Where are we going?" Canach is like "I don't have an evil woman to boss me around.... Sup commander" once again no atonement, he already did that. He's just bored.

Then we have our bravest little toaster Kasmeer. This bitch is a believer. A

Believer. Believer.

But one thing about Kasmeer Meade is that she's your friend and guild mate first and foremost, and a believer in the six second. Kasmeer believes in you more than she believes in the gods she was raised to believe in. I just wish they explored that more in story.

Kasmeer believes in you more than gods. She believes in her friends more than gods.

Canach would bet on you everytime.

Rylock believes in your leadership more than the most important thing which is his legion. Which he was tribune for.

Which is why it's night and day from what's going on with SOTO. All the sudden no one gives a fuck about where you are. And that's why it's jarring and over all doesn't feel right.

welcome to the danse macabre

pov: the commander has just been murdered by the rogue god Balthazar and his son has decided that you, Rytlock Brimstone, are the problem

(art done by @telltalecoyote)

Grief surrounds me, mixed with confusion and a singular spark of outrage, but I push aside my own pain and focus on Oberon and Sigmund, seizing theirs instead. Their eyes flare a bright pink as they stand rigid– then their weapons are out and Oberon is charging down Rytlock while his cub nocks a crystal-headed arrow onto his bow. Remorse tugs at my concentration–while Vlast’s echoes may not forgive me, I know Sig will, but that doesn’t make me feel better–but I push on while the rest of the group focuses on evading the tumbleweed that is Rytlock and Oberon. The traitorous charr allows himself to be bowled over, and in that moment Sig halts his fire to avoid skewering his sire. Though I didn’t expect him to fight smart, the wind is on my side: barely a thought is needed for it to carry me towards them. I drift toward the wrestling charr and command Oberon–the lieutenant kicks Rytlock and rolls away towards his fallen gunblade. Arrows begin to rain around us, and Rytlock shouts, “Dammit, cub, don’t do this!” “I have every right to kill you!” Arrows that would hit me are torn asunder as I lash a whip of pink energy forward. “Balthazar–” “You won’t have to worry about Balthazar!”

I love path of fire cuz the commander reached maximum levels of doing insane things to save the world.

Well I havent done futher dlcs but I hope they get even crazier.

Everytime a character says "This is an insane idea" Im like yeah, what else do you expect from them?

Clear and reasonable thinking didn't kill a dragon and here we have a dragon, a god and an undead idiot (praise joko)

Go crazy commander <333

don't get me wrong I fucking love gw2 and the newest episode made me cry cuz how happy I was but

it feels like every time there's a plotline that deserves to get a little intense, like psychologically, it's immediately kinda thrown away.

Heart of Thorns did a good job kinda keeping that up, especially if u play as a sylvari.

But like the Icebrood Saga? Easily could've made that one of the most intense and messed up things the Commander had to go through and it fell off.

(I have other criticisms of Icebrood Saga, but ill digress. For now.)

And End of Dragons was fuckin brilliant too: But maybe it's a personal thing, but I would've loved to see more angst from the Commander. It was like the fastest a person's ever been to therapy and then promptly kicked out. The whole power of friendship made me cackle. I want to see tears!!! Pain!!!! AGONY!!!!
