Not too much to say, this is gonna be a rambly sideblog of @dantelupine where I can put all my gw2 reblogs and also maybe rant about stuff. Feel free to send asks, and be wary of potential nsfw. The sidebar already has the important stuff, but this is still gonna be pinned. Hover image for tag.
Common tags are:
surprise self-rec time! pick 3 of your favorite things you’ve written/drawn and share them here, then put this in the inbox (anonymously or not) of your fellow creators to spread the positivity and help celebrate already posted works 💞
I’d say these three are my favourites (That I’m allowed to post on Tumblr anyway)
I just kinda winged it for the background and lighting but it came out really nice
For this one it’s still one of my favourite pieces based on mood. Tantalus’ expression and general face shape is among the best I’ve done and I never get tired of it.
And here we have Rolan being a big happy lad, he’s so friendly and I love this piece for it
playing gw2 is like. did you know many of the main characters have introductory short stories you can read online from ten years ago. did you know they make cute episode trailers for youtube and one of them is a mission impossible parody and one of them is the most heartwrenching scene acting in a video game, but it's. it's on youtube.
did you know there's short stories on their website about caithe finding herself after heartbreak, and zafirah coming to terms with misguided faith, and rytlock finally understanding his inferiority complex and the crutch he's used to overcome it at the expense of people he should've been there for. no it's not in the game it's on their website
there are official interviews with most of their voice actors discussing how they approach the character and the emotion they put into it and how they've developed over a decade
there's an alt goth version of the main sylvari theme that literally everyone swears by and it's really goddamn great but someone has to tell you where it is
don't even get me started on abaddon, one of the most important characters in their world, who isn't in the game and is barely mentioned
this is now a Found Content post
Three interactive short stories about Rytlock, Zarifah, and Caithe
Kari Wahlgren // Lex Lang // Matt Mercer // Misty Lee // Steve Blum // Yuri Lowenthal // Debi Derryberry // Ike Amadi // Tommie Earl Jenkins // Jocelyn Blue // Nolan North // Courtenay Taylor // Sam Riegel // Mara Junot
Original (sylvari lullaby version)
2018 dark alt (or 'joko version' from Bug in the System trailer)
I can't point towards anything specific about Abaddon's role in the story except that I wrote a big post about it a little while ago
Oh for fuck’s sake, people calling out racist writing in fanfic isn’t “censorship”. I say this as a fic writer but some of you need to get off your high fucking horse.
Truly some of the most irritating culture has sprung up around fanwork and fanfic in specific like… no, making something for free does not in fact make it sacrosanct or immune to criticism! Your right to “do whatever you want forever” or say “fandom is for fun” stops the second you’re being bigoted and making fan spaces unsafe for marginalized people!
"fandom is for fun" except for poc who have to deal with rampant racism and white people unable to acknowledge let alone take accountability for their racism

The only thing worse than being loud and pretentious is having the skill to back it up
