my 72-year old cancer survivor of a dad told me he just switched specs on his warlock alt, ran a mythic, and had someone say to him he was the worst warlock they ever did a dungeon with :(
be nice to the people in your parties, people, you don’t know what they’re going through
Guard text is SO underrated. I will seriously go out of my way to click on every option just to see what they say - if your job is writing this guard text, know that I see you, and I love you.
these are only but a few gems from what I found clicking on Dazar'alor guards today

THE TORCHES HAVE BEEN LIT? "FIVE TORCHES TO LIGHT OUR WAY" ?? THE AWAKENING IS IT HAPPENING??? AHHHHHHHHH

8.2 PREVIEW TOMORROW HYPE
Put together this map of the pre-sundering Highborne empire a loong time ago. It needs to be updated (I think some places are just a touch off, although they're all in the right area), but I've documented virtually every single Highborne ruin there is!
When the leveling changes are implemented in Shadowlands, can we get Suramar as part of the leveling content for Legion instead of an endgame zone only doable at max level? That zone's storyline is one of my absolute favorites, so I'd love for more incentive to do it repeatedly.

@Ariannasaurus
, so excited to have one of my own ❤️ you bet your butts this is gonna feature in SO many makeup looks in the near future
crab mode coming to a WoW near you soon
(a look at the arachnophobia mode coming in TWW that turns most* spiders into crabs)
feel free to use these screenshots for whatever wherever!
*some fal'dorei made it out unscathed
Rereading the 'A Song of the Depths' book from the Forbidden Reach after the expansion announcements and it blows my mind how much this foreshadowed without even catching it
- Xal'atath enlisting the Nerubians
- Underground expansion
- manifesting Azshara for Midnight
Makeup Monday: Sylvanas Windrunner
The very first World of Warcraft inspired makeup look I ever did was Sylvanas. It's been about a full year since then, so I decided it was finally time to revisit her!
I don't actually have red contacts, just edited my eyes for fun ~
Makeup Monday: Jandice Barov
I AM BACK with the character who may very well be my most favorite minor lore character, the undead mistress of illusions!
Eyes are, of course, edited in the cover picture for added creepiness.
"Some of these assumptions being wielded in the community this week . . . are detrimental to and downright hypocritical of the support we were lending several weeks ago. Have you even considered that the employees who were abused may have been the ones who asked for this change?"
I bring you a (non-canon) visual breakdown of Azeroth's population density according to the RPG!
Other things important to understanding this map: a) these are vanilla-era numbers even though this is a post-Cata map, and b) the Scourge are counted.
Additional stats & info below
Makeup Monday: Blood Elf
A redo of an oldie, in which I wear a wig for the first time ever. I took some loose inspiration from the blood elf crest and opted for gold graphic liner in order to evoke the phoenix at its heart (with a hint of green for fel corruption)!
This is a callout post for my dad who got me into WoW many years ago, lets me do heroic progression with him, has a higher Raider IO score than me, and also has 14 million gold but hasn't bought the auction mount yet.
Happy Father's Day <3
trying to figure out who the "Black Blood of the Old Gods" in Azj-Kahet possibly belongs to so I made this visual
people have pointed out that it's suspiciously N'Zoth colored but I'm sort of partial to the theory that all their blood congealed down there for... some reason idk.
at the risk of being too extra I very suddenly decided I wanted more positivity on the timeline and so have made a whole account dedicated to oddly specific things I love about WoW and the people who make / play it
Day
#1
of things I love about WoW:
When people spontaneously start mount chains. There's nothing quite like the shock/humor of zoning into a capital city and seeing a million people taking a moment out of their day to walk around on the same exact mount.
imo one of Dragonflight's biggest themes is overcoming trauma and the catharsis that's gained from those moments
so in my personal interpretation of the story it both makes sense and does not bother me that the expansion is "too soft"
Hearing a lot of talk lately regarding Dragonflight on how it's too soft & not enough bite to it. And I agree.
I think back to MoP a lot and it too was a bit of a "lighter expansion" as well, but even so it too had plenty of edge to it with its themes, storytelling, and risks.
Makeup Monday: Valeera Sanguinar
I've been teasing the idea of putting together a s̵l̵i̵g̵h̵t̵l̵y̵ ̵r̵i̵s̵q̵u̵é̵ full body photoshoot for a while now. One late night impulse buy of thigh-high boots later and... here's my third take at the badass elf assassin that is Valeera!
Another old but wonderful story about my dad: My dad, who has been playing the Warcraft games for longer than I've been alive, watches the Old Soldier cinematic and the first thing he says to me is, “How do trolls kiss?”
This post sheds some light on the split between the different elven factions (high elves, blood elves, and void elves) and exactly why they all have beef with one another.
(p.s., this one's my favorite so far)

Makeup Monday: Sin’dorei Demon Hunter-in-training
Super busy with the move right now, but what would Monday be without a makeup look? Featuring the Heart of Azeroth as made by @/Ariannasaurus!
Makeup Monday: Goblin
I have officially ventured into the land of face and body paint for the very first time! It definitely wasn't all that easy - the application is a little uneven, but I'm happy with this look and I'm excited to get into it more.
Makeup Monday: Human Warlock (plus some new customization options)
I've had these contacts forever and was going to use them for kaldorei looks, but I realized I literally can't see out of them so needless to say I was excited I finally got to use 'em in this one.
I LOVE night elves. Ever since I first started WoW I've been ride or die kaldorei - played through every nelf zone countless times, made a ton of nelf alts, and even decided I wanted to know every. single. thing. about nelf lore bc that's how much I loved them.
Makeup Monday: Valeera Sanguinar
I always wanted to revisit Valeera because she was one of the few characters I had more than one idea for when I first did her. It’s actually been over a year and she’s gotten a new model since then so it was definitely time to redo the look!
Shout out to my dad for still leading the same guild of ragtag raiders ~17ish years later. He has more max level characters, keys completed, and gold than I do and it means the world to me that I get to raid with him ♥️.
Happy Father's Day!
after many long months, a ton of scuffed keys, and plenty of tears, I am proud to say I have for the first time ever in my life acquired keystone hero 😭
(I also, for the first time in my life ever, have a higher m+ rating than my dad!)
Makeup Monday: Kyrian
This isn’t too different from the Spirit Healer cosplay I did a while ago, but I knew if I wanted to do a Kyrian-inspired makeup look, “winged” liner was an absolute must. Just one left to do now!
Mimiron’s Library delves into the minutia of Azeroth. A new post looks at the population of Vanilla era Azeroth and some fun statistics. If you like numbers or RP, check this out.
#Warcraft
vague 10.1 protip but if you're like me and don't really do pet battles, you might want to grab this pet now for the snail mount
(I got it to 25 immediately buying one of the pet stones from my garrison with pet charms off the SL mission table)
Makeup Monday: Xe'ra, the Light Mother
I did a Naaru look for April Fools' once and by that I mean I covered my face in sparkles sooooo I thought I'd take it a little more seriously this time.
The crystals do a lot, but I think the real winner of this look is the graphic liner.
Makeup Monday: Princess Calia Menethil
I spoiled this one a little already, but here’s the monarch herself, the heir to Lordaeron (ft. some mild edits)!
In other news, De Other Side is honestly an aesthetic masterpiece and considering how gorgeous most of the Shadowlands zones are so far, that's saying something. The effects going on here just blow my mind.
(mooooore
