so i never really thought about it before but what does it mean that both thorn and joko know about lady wisteria whiskington. do they keep up with the divinity’s reach fanciest cat competition somehow? because that’s an amazing mental image.

The Third Elite Specialization Beta Event is live!
If you have a Guild Wars 2 account in good standing, you’re invited to try three of the new elite specializations from the upcoming expansion, which is available for prepurchase now.
How to Play
If you’re new to Guild Wars 2, sign up for a free account here!
To join the fun, log in and create a beta event character by clicking one of the empty character slots marked “Beta” on your character select screen. You’ll be able to choose thief, ranger, or engineer as the character’s profession. Your character will begin in the city of Lion’s Arch at level 80, with their elite specialization, build, and gear equipped.
From there, you can explore the open world or try a game mode dedicated to group play. You’ll find options to join the World vs. World and structured Player vs. Player in the bar located at the top left corner of your UI. To tackle the Fractals of the Mists instanced group content, visit Fort Marriner in Lion’s Arch and enter the portal.
Please note that the beta characters will disappear on October 30 at 10:00 p.m. Pacific Time (UTC-8) at the end of the event, and any gameplay progress earned while playing on them—including rewards and currency—will not be saved.

One thing I love about GW2 is that there’s actual lore for these two cats.
Lady Wisteria Whiskington and Chauncey Von Snuffles III.
Canonically, the crowd loved Chauncey so much that when Wisteria won Divinity's Reach Fanciest Cat instead of him, Lord Faren, who was simply just the announcer for the contest and didn’t have a hand in picking a winner and presumably not even the influence to rig the competition, was chased by the mob out of Divinity’s Reach, and presumably also out of Kryta because at the time of this lore he was found in Southsun Cove, an island quite a way away from Krytan soil.
Gotta love it when a setting embraces its sillier aspects.
Other game lore: This sword was forged in the magmaforge of the ancient volcano Krakakoakakaokaar using the lost and condemned souls of millions who perished in the cataclysmic event that occured when the Deity Plaish’Oldar Naym gifted man with free will.
Guild Wars lore: This silly fashion contest between cats was treated dead seriously and akin to a british match of football by humans, to the point of forming pitchfork mobs and hunting the announcer because they disapproved of the result.
canach enrols emberthroat in the divinity's reach fanciest cat competition for a quick laugh and doesn’t think anything of it but it ends with her actually going with the express intent of embarrassing her ‘handler’ so he has to tag along to stop her and it turns into a game of who can shame the other the hardest before the day ends
Some ooollld drawtober stuff I did, all sponsored by @guildwars2
I forgot to lighten Ivar’s palm, it’s not intentional, but now it’s too damn late to edit it because it’s been out on the internet too long Dx
I only got about 1/3rd through the month before having to quit, but I added Wisteria to every single one!!
