#my posts #guild wars 2 #gw2 #gw2 fan submission #Dragonheart Pirkko #Flourish AU #with all the sales going on i finally finished her look #she needed the maguuma shoulders + wanderer mask #(the wanderer mask NEVER goes on sale so if you want it you better grab it like Now. no really look at the gemstore history) #(it hadn't even been in the store at all since 2022 and this is the first time it's ever been on sale I Am Not Joking) #the only thing i wish is for a Vlast variant for the Aurene leggies for her but oh well. not every dream will come true. #i really gotta talk about this particular AU sometime tho tbh... #in Regrowth she's afraid of what she is and could become. #in Flourish though? she accepts even the parts that scare her. her power isn't something to fear. it's a tool and a weapon. #the blood of the jungle dragon flows through her veins and Tyria WILL hear her ROAR. her ENEMIES should be afraid. #she becomes the Champion of Vlast for a lot of reasons but the most significant is that they're so much alike. #neither has ever been anything other than the destiny that was set before them... and they don't know who they are outside that context. #they're trapped in roles they were molded for since their first breath. they barely understand the world they were built to save. #and yet... in spite of it all. they continue on. they do what they must. they fight for those who can't fight for themselves. #they're going to figure it out together... because in this big bright bold world they're the only two that REALLY understand each other. #they want to leave the world better than it was for them. #... even if they likely won't survive to see that happen. #the future will be better because it has to be. it must be. otherwise what have they spent their entire lives fighting for? #they don't belong to this world... but they can still build a better one. one that won't need anyone like them ever again. #I have... many thoughts about these two...
