Moonlost Tumbls?

i stan taelia or tess with anduin 100% aka. this forcing anduin to be gay trope is getting hella old so i'm for anyone

And if that’s your preferred ship for whatever reason, that’s fine. It’s a fantasy MMO you’re allowed to have whatever pairing you want. All I’m asking is that you are respectful of my own in return. I’m not heacanoning Anduin as gay just because I wish for more diverity in Warcraft, although I admit that is part of it. Mostly though, I find the dynamic it brings up to be legitimately compelling. This prodigal son of Stormwind, trying to live up to his father’s legacy - and constantly falling short. Maybe he does try to court Tess/Taelia out of obligation, trying his hardest to make it work. But it doesn’t. It’s not who he is. 

And all the while there’s Wratheon, brother of the woman who played him as a puppet to try and rule the throne all those years ago. Son of the monster who burnt down a section of your city and attempted to destroy Azeroth. A reptile proven to be manipulative and focused on his own goals which could very well be antithetical to those of the Alliance. And yet, there’s a connection there that isn’t with anyone else. Around this black dragon, Anduin feels more free to be the man he is, rather than the man everyone expects him to be. But is that mutual? Or is he just another pawn in the game Wratheon is playing? And what about the future of Stormwind? Of his bloodline?

That’s not to say there aren’t just as many compelling stories to find with a straight Anduin either. Or a bi, ace or pan-duin. He’s a great character placed into an interesting setting with a lot of potential. Maybe he’s saved from an ambush by Tess and the two an exciting adventure narrowly avoiding one threat on his life after another, where he finds out that the daughter of his fluffy advisor isn’t the sweet girl Genn makes her out to be. Or speaking of old hurts and family life with Taelia, sharing in comforting memories of a man who’s not quite as gone as they think he is. I’d read those and enjoy them. ((Not sure I’d read anything unironic about Anduin x Sylvanas though - but a self-aware shitpost fic would be hilarious))

anyone that isn’t wrathion please. I never liked him much XD I’d go with Gamon imo

I made a Wrathduin shipping comment on twitter and the fuckin’ reply I got for it was   M A G I C A L

Lei’lakka was born in the depths of Stranglethorn Vale; pale, weakly and sick. She was part of a small, nomadic group of Gurubashi with little in the way of resources. Their witch doctor could not use normal magics to keep her alive, but could perhaps offer her to a loa in return for her future service. With little other option, her parents agreed. So she was given to Shirvallah, the tiger. In his eyes, her strange fur marked her as unique - a ghost of the jungles, not unlike some of his own children. When she was of age, she was sent to train with his priests, but found herself more skilled at shapeshifting than singing hymns. When Hakkar was resurrected, she joined the Zandalari (and the horde and alliance) in opposing him. After the blood god lay dead, she decided to leave with the scaled trolls to their homeland to better master her shapeshifting powers. While she was a quick student of Gonk’s lessons, Shirvallah made sure she remembered which loa she was bound to serve by leaving stripes on all of her forms. Now, as an experienced and formidable servant of her loa, she finds herself in the middle of conflict yet again. Not only do Zul’s followers seek to kill the loa and take their powers for themselves, but the Horde seek to enlist anyone willing to fight in their war. While she is impressed with their strength, she finds herself cautious as to their motives. When she sees what their warchief is willing to do to insure victory, Lei’lakka cannot help but think of the blood god atop of Zul’gurub. She fights beside them for now - and has even been enjoying seeing this mottled group of orcs, elves and pandaren take down enemies that the mighty Zandalari empire has struggled with. But she has yet to be convinced to join the horde proper.

__ I did a bad and decided to draw some comfort art of my troll lady. I race changed my tauren druid after feeling a bit disconnected with him and I think I love my new girl a lot????? Like she’s my new main at this point for sure. Gonna be drawing up her other forms for sure, with her troll self up next. I jsut caved and went deep into my comfort zone first because heck yes I want to draw up a tusked badass tiger.
