I have many thoughts about Sylvanas as I am playing WoW after 13 years and most of them boil down to the statement "Sylvanas became like Arthas" is not a narrative one, but it's ironically criticism of how she was handled.

Blizzard made her "become" like Arthas. Blizzard did not know how to write a female survivor who is angry and not nice and doesn't take the high road of forgiveness without making her commit the same things that were done to her and her people in the first place. Blizzard made her raise people against their will back in Cataclysm and Blizzard made her commit genocide on the Night Elves. The fault is entirely in the writers who just hated her specifically and not on the way Shadowlands tried to do some kind of patch job on it.

Not to mention Blizzard completely ignoring the fact that some of the things Arthas did to her are a clear allegory for certain things and it's absolutely unacceptable to make her "become" like him. It's completely reckless and terrible to lead her character like that.

Sylvanas should've been unforgiving and mean and vengeful, but the statement "Sylvanas became like Arthas" was not written in Shadowlands. They were doing this to her consistently since Cataclysm and they just doubled down on it every now and then. Sylvanas had writers who didn't want to understand or love her and that's sad.

#i am always afraid of like sylvanas fans because i like sylvanas a lot #i relate to sylvanas A LOT #but I cannot deny that blizzard literally did this to her when it would've been better if they didn't #just her not burning teldrassil would've been enough tbh #my anger will always be with the way she was written and not with her #also i do know a lot about the abused becoming their abuser that happened to me #however this is not written well enough to tackle that i tell you that much #nor do I think it should in an mmorpg

THEY GAVE THE “ONIONS HAVE LAYERS” SHREK QUOTE TO THE DRACTHYR?! THE DRACTHYR?!

FOR SHAME.

#World of Warcraft #Dracthyr #Ogre #Diloph's Ogre Agenda #I'm mad. That one was a complete freebie for any Ogre implementation and they gave it to a race they JUST made up recently #instead of giving it to a long-time race that a lot of people have expressed an interest in playing #I mean c'mon there were better dragon jokes out there #also the Worgen one seemed really mean-spirited too #look it's different with the DI Dwarves joking about Teldrassil because that was a controversial event that nobody liked #and was funny because their mountain DID burn down after the stupid fucks summoned Ragnaros #anyway I like the Dracthyr well enough and will definitely play one but... man... kick in the teeth...

Lord help me I'm back on my Warcraft bullshit

#women of warcraft have so much potential to be great characters but #but of course blizzard just reduces them to «trauma = crazy» or to dutiful housewives #or whatever the fuck the burning of teldrassil was #oh i forgot another option #controlled by puppetmasters #like azshara and n'zoth or sylvanas and the jailer #they were all done so dirty ;_; #food cw #force feeding cw #ask to tag #hala.txt

Six or seven years after the burning of Teldrassil, Tyrande and Maiev have yet to return from their hunt for the Banshee Queen. So Cathala, Tarinne, and a few other like-minded individuals decide to take matters into their own hands. They follow what little remains of Sylvanas' trail, investigating abandoned Horde outposts, interrogating Horde separatists, and not-quite-legally digging through old military documents. Ultimately, they discover her trail leads to Northrend, and so they follow. The hunt will be long, harrowing, and neither their quarry nor the endless icy wastes will show mercy. Not all will live to touch warm soil again.

I keep thinking about how Metzen always planned two expansions in advance, and how Legion had clear references towards the Shadowlands and was posting Bolvar up to being a villain after Darion makes it clear in WOD that he's been trying to find a solution to the helm problem.

And I think about how Metzen left, and how BFA turned out, how Golden said she didn't know that Teldrassil was going to burn while writing Before the Storm, and later how Shadowlands turned out, how the massive drust area was scrapped and reworked into being completely unrelated, how we all found out that it was rewritten over the span of six months, how we all found out it was a spiteful character assassination of Sylvanas after how Garrosh turned out.

What was Metzen going to do with BFA and Shadowlands that all got threw to the wayside last minute? We're never going to know.

Little doodles I made of my druid Nelanai and my friend's warrior Saderieth who were best friends and spent a lot of time on Teldrassil before it was burned down.

Saderieth died in the aftermath of the War of Thorns and was later raised as Darkfallen in service of Sylvanas, however Nelanai survived and she didn't know what happened to her friend.

I enjoy Warcraft while recognizing the issues. That being said, the way so many people address the issues of the game saps away my life energy.

It is honestly so funny but also so tiring seeing people acting like all Horde players just decided burn Teldrassil, kill nelf civilians, and all that instead of, being dragged along by the whims of the writing team.

Honestly it would be interesting, but also probably impossible, to see a game as heavily player-led as some people act like WoW is.

Anyways, yes, I made the mistake of reading the Wowhead comments again.
