Mermaids used to be one of my favorite things to draw for a while, so I really wanted to do something for Mermay!

I might make more of these, tried to go pretty lose (and left the sketch layer visible)

[commanderfloppy]

I caught wind of a trend to show your commander as other races, and since i've already dabbled in human (and a little sylvari) flop I thought it would be fun to do.

Below is some more details about how I came up with each one / the character differences they'd come with.

Charr - Based her main colors/patterns after a Jaguar. I kinda see this version of her originally being from the flame legion or something and then fleeing only to struggle in the citadel.

Norn - A follower of wolf, this version is less afraid to show her scars because A. I think norn get hot more easily being acclimated to cold climates, and B. a norn version of her would probably see scars less as "look at all the mistakes I made that got me hurt" and more "check out how many near-death experiences I've survived"

Human - Closest to asura floppy since they both grew up in human culture, not much to day here..

Sylvari - Honestly no idea how her story would go since sylvari flop would be so different, mostly in the fact that the oldest sylvari are like 34 and flop is 50. Her look is based on a mix of plants, her base is a bald cypress plant, with lichen mimicking her vitiligo, and then I put trumpet flowers in her hair for color and cute.

Thank GOD I still had gold after making my legendary, this was a need

[commanderfloppy]

so that mistletoe meme huh. um. can I ask for miriam +3 + floppy bc I fondly remember them hanging out casual style at a formal party

Yes yes kissies!

Also I said these were gonna be sketchy, I lied.

Miriam is being a gentleman and Floppy is not used to being treated like a lady <3

Gw2 Huevember Week 3

The arrow attack in IBS really messed up Floppy and she started going back into the civil war fray before she was even close to healed.

I think the intent was to be mostly strategic but of course nothing goes as planned.

Anyways that arrow wound got re-opened A LOT

#gw2 #gw2 huevember #my art #commander floppy #vlixxa floppy #Once again I have made my characters bleed for huevember #These color pallets with a bold red contrast color just invoke it you know? #IBS has a lot of shit going on and Floppy was definitely uhh struggling through it #It's a fucking miracle that arrow didn't kill her though #she is wayy to tiny to that that big of a direct hit

[commanderfloppy]

In an uno reverse for the ask meme, hands Floppy a Qirri to judge! (@ratasum)

Ok I’m gonna be honest, while she tries not to draw the connection Qirri 100% makes Floppy think of her own daughter. A sickly progeny who can talk her ear off about innovative ideas for golems and mechs and aids and shit, alchemy that is so much like how Aerri was. 

She would do her best not to coddle (she likes giving kids freedom), but she would be pretty concerned for Qirri’s health and making sure she’s taking care of herself (at least a little). 

Honestly Floppy wasn’t the best college student (and doesn’t remember all that much from those days anyway), but she would be more than willing to listen to Qirri talk on and on about dynamics related things.

Also she would find Qirri and Taimi’s relationship really cute and be super supportive of it, though I feel like she would double crack down if they were enabling each other to focus too much on science and not enough on their health. She’d see them both working too hard on a jade tech project and make them go outside to like a garden or somewhere to eat a meal.

#ask game answers #commander floppy #vlixxa floppy #Floppy see's Qirri and Taimi and she's like 'gods there's 2 of them' #EAT A SNACK! TAKE A NAP! #Haven't left the Lab for the past 72 hours??? Go Outside NOW

[commanderfloppy]

Gotta know Floppy's opinion on Phlunt.

She fucking HATES that bitch, actually she hates most of the arcane council. 

Their valuing of ‘knowledge and innovation’ over things like…Ethics and you know NOT KILLING OR TORTURING PEOPLE. 

The council (and most definitely Phlunt) were the receivers of many pranks in her college days, and while she has to tone herself down a lot more (she was holding back so hard when he was stealing Taimi’s research), she does her best to use her power and influence as commander to stop them from some of the awful stuff they do.

#ask game answers #commander floppy #vlixxa floppy #she goofed off a bit in college (since the goofs were one of the few groups that would accept her) #and one of the activities they participated in outside of partying was pranks #and she loved directing those pranks to the council #helps that she somehow managed to avoid getting caught with the power of mesmer teleportation and time bending magic

[commanderfloppy]

The last question in this ask has now started living rent free in my brain so....

POV: You're stuck in a swamp when this guy comes to rescue you. How do you deal with the fact that his drake's new brood isn't the only thing that needs to hatch?

Shipping game stuff ; Vlixxa annnddd... Faolaine?

(@dumb-dumb-mander)

Oh now this is a strange one, it took a bit of brain storming to figure out if there was even a way for this to happen since most of their possible interactions Flops would be going through it and Faolain would be uhh...evil. One scenario did manage to pop into my mind though.

It's 1304 AE, a bunch of secondborn had just been captured and Caithe and Faolain are on the way to rescue them. When trying to find a way to enter the facility, they see a tired college intern who was sent to deliver a supplies shipment (someone just shoved the responsibility on her) and get her at knife-point.

She doesn't need to be at knife-point for long though because as soon as she finds out a bunch of sentient plant people are being experimented on in there she's ready to help.

With the combined efforts of assassin skills, lab clearance, and hiding in a cart of supplies, the three manage to get in there and actually save a bit more of the secondborn. (Vorpp still escapes though)

Honestly I have no idea how this relationship would progress other than Vlixxa becoming the one maybe okay asura who possibly gets invited to join the plant lesbian polycule?? Maybe??

It would all go to shit so fast though so uhh..

2/10: Gee Floppy how come you (possibly) get TWO plant girlfriends?

#ask game answers #vlixxa floppy #Commander Floppy #yeah flops is wayy to nice to ever really be with Evil in much of a way #and honestly i have no idea if Faolain would be cool with an asura even if she was 'a good one' #but the secret mission highjinks are a good thing to imagine

Floppy! How do you feel about Gorrik? @ratasum

Gorrik is great! He was a wonderful addition to the team! I know some people have issues with his..eccentricities, but personally seeing him so excited about things makes me happy. There are some moments though, like when he first joined, I had to remind him of how deadly the scarab plague was whenever he got a little too into studying it. Blish also helped a lot with that…

I still feel bad, sometimes I wonder if things would’ve gone differently if I was more prepared, if I wasn’t so shaken up after…well it’s all in the past. I shouldn’t dwell on it.

#ask game answers #commander floppy #vlixxa floppy #Gorrik is part of the 'floppy's children' collective of dragon's watch #honestly I think she saw his autistic ass infodumping about bugs and was just like 'Oh he's just like me when i was a kid!' #I think the only issues they probably had a bit of at the start was him forgetting about ethics #'It truly is amazing to see how quickly the scarab plague spreads' #'Gorrik people are dying' #'Oh no! you're right..' #love my little bug boy

💦, 💘, 💐 for our beloved floppy <3

Floppy our beloved <3

💦 : Is your OC’s attractiveness based on looks or a more intangible aura?

I mean the aura she has as the Commander is definitely quite attractive. But I’ve always been of the opinion that Floppy is a total asuran hottie (at least looks wise). 

Look at her, those bright eyes, well kept hair, those Big, Beautiful, Sexy Ears! A lot of her college social life was based on the fact that other students thought she was hot (even if she was a country bumpkin) so they invited her to parties and stuff. 

💘 : Is your OC a very good flirt? Are they charming?

I don’t think she’s really the best at flirting, but she definitely has a natural charm about her. When she was younger (and even now despite all that’s happened) she has a very bright aura about her, she’s kind and genuine and I that is probably charming to a lot of people. 

💐 : What is their courting style? How would they woo someone?

I think her strategy is to just be friendly and ask if they want to do things? When she was younger it was probably a bit of ‘want to dance with me?’ or ‘me and some of the krewe are going to do an ‘experimental test’ on one of the Arcane Council, want to join?

Now though it’s probably similar but she finds it a bit harder to initiate. She’s tired and out of practice, and honestly overthinks stuff now. But I do think she has a new wooing method also of giving/making things for others. Offering to cook a lunch rather than buy at a noodle stand, creating a disease resistant strain with bright coloration of their favorite flower, just nice small things she can be relatively sure they’ll like.

#ask game answers #commander floppy #vlixxa floppy #I've said it before and I'll say it again #I think ears are one of the more noticed physical traits of Asura #and that big ears are often considered hotter #maybe it's based on the fact that (at least in people so I'll apply it to asura) ears keep growing with age #and older = wiser which = smarter #so big ears = smart which = hot #or if it's just a sexy thing #maybe a bit of both

3 & 4 for Floppy! (@ratasum )

Thanks for the ask!!

3. How would you describe your childhood?

Uhhh I guess the best word to describe it would be..isolated? I lived in the family house with my dad in the middle of the blackroot swamp, if you went out for a little you’d get to some farms and fishing huts eventually but most of my ‘friends’ were the local wildlife. 

That did change a bit when the road was reinforced and a trading post was built though, I was able to go there and talk with any travelers or traders as well as Gunnar and the other lionguard. 

So yeah on the whole it was…fine? My dad wasn’t the most supportive but, you know…he was a good one most of the time. 

4. When you were a kid, what did you want to be when you grew up?

I think I wanted to be a drake farmer, I wanted to raise a bunch of them as pets and then eat their eggs..That was when I was really little though. 

I had another phase when I was…12? 14? I really wanted to be an elegant swordfighter, which I guess kinda happened in some ways..

5, 10, 13 for Miss floppy 💕

Thanks for the ask!!

5. What would they look like as the side character in someone else's story?

Well as the Commander I guess in anyone’s story she is just the cool somewhat unknown Commander, but that’s boring and I know what side character role she’d have in another story. 

In my ‘correct’ timeline Commander Link AU Flopps is a Biologist who studies the Sylvari, consensually of course this whole thing is done in collaboration. 

Later on during Lws2 she is recruited to help study the new plant based dragon minions that show up, and ends up discovering their incredible genetic similarity to Sylvari a little too late.

She’s fine though and gets through HoT fairly unscathed, her ability to study plant life definitely helped with discovering food sources, medicines, and enemy weaknesses in such unfamiliar territory. 

10. Would/does knowing their backstory change how people (in general but also Tyria at large) view them?

It depends on the people but yes I think so.  

When Dragon’s Watch first found out she had a kid (during Lws4 when her ghost showed up) there was a lot of ‘oh fuck when I said that one thing did that upset her.’ and ‘shit that’s a lot to go through.’

 Her background also would probably change how a lot of Asura view her, the Commander is supposed to be this bastion of intellect and innovation, and finding out she’s a ‘swamp-raised bookah’ would make them all immediately doubt her abilities. 

Which is probably why she has an extra hard time dealing with the Arcane council, since some of them probably do know about her upbringing and college days based on records (or direct experience). 

13. What is the worst/funniest/dumbest article that could be written about them in Tyria's trashiest gossip mag?

Ok I’ve stated before but the funniest/dumbest article would definitely be some story about her ‘secretly dating’ Rytlock.  The cover would be some candid picture taken of Floppy touching his fur (they were discussing conditioner brands) and probably have some awful title like “Love knows No Size: The Commander touches up on the Prickly Tribune. ‘He’s only soft for her!’)  

In terms of the worst article, definitely some kind of expose digging into her past, either talking about her less than amazing grades in college or even worse, bringing up her daughter. 

While I don’t know what type of person her ex was, some awful story like “I had a kid with the Commander, and she’s not like what you think.” with a lot of half-truths and awful shit being said about her and their kid would uhh yeah she would be really upset by that.

1, 7, 10, 23, and 29 for floppy pleasee

♥ 1. What is their favorite kind of milk?

Fresh whole milk (makes her think of when she used to visit nearby farms as a kid and they’d give her a drink… she is probably a bit lactose intolerant now though..)

♥ 7. What is their favorite kind of laundry detergent?

Intense stain and odor removal laundry pods, fast, portable, powerful, and can work as emergency rations. 

♥ 10. Have they ever attempted to eat an entire tube of toothpaste?

100% ate toothpaste as a kid. She doesn’t now but she does put A LOT of toothpaste on her brushes. 

♥ 23. Are they a tool fan?

I think she likes tools when they have a purpose, but honestly I think she is a lot more hands on with things and tools can just make motor things harder. 

♥ 29. Do they have games on their phone?

Wordle and Words with friends (played with some other members of Dragon’s Watch)

Also: 

(And I know these aren’t a phone app but just pretend)
