“Smoking’s the main one, I tried to quit over Winter’s Veil but then shit got real fucked and I picked it back up again. It’s one of those things I know I shouldn’t do, and it’s a nasty habit, but here we are. 

Falling in love with people who can’t love me back the way I want them to. Self-explanatory. 

Trying to be what I’m not. That one’s also pretty self-explanatory. 

As far as physical fights go... Depends on what you consider a physical fight, I guess. I spar every time I’m in Skold-Ashil because I’m constantly having to prove my worth. I ran off and fought in the Vale back in March after I’d gotten particularly upset about something. 

I miss brawling. It’s been years since I’ve done that. Might be time to take it up again, get back to my roots.” 

Leon: “Throwin’ up, I think. Th’ worst part is th’ leadup, yeah? Feels awful, an’ ominous, like yer bein’ warned or y’kin see th’ stampede comin’ t’ward y’, hey? But then y’ ‘ave a few seconds--minutes, if it’s really bad--o’ nightmares an’ suddenly yer a lot emptier an’ a lot better pretty much immediately. Not necessarily good, mind, but better.”

📅 speak of a past experience : There have been many, as Dar’s life as been nothing if not eventful. I think something that really shines in her memory is the wedding of her bestie Lirriel to Drauglos. They were a lovely couple who had recently almost lost each other, Drauglos having been hellbent on revenge for the sake of his family, and she ultimately had helped talk him down from throwing his life away in pursuit of this revenge. They both survived the war in Icecrown, and officiating the wedding, which was a wild story in itself, seeing them grow as a family and being a part of her life over the years, when it could all have gone so wrong, has been an absolute joy for her.

Tris knows Alast through the Tarts but hasn’t spent much time with him.  He went along with one of her little schemes once and for that, she was quite grateful. His performances are amazing and she’s always excited to watch him. He’s sexy, strong, and talented. 

I think they’d be very pretty together, that’s for sure. 

They’re both a bit of a mess though, as much of an understatement as that might be, and I’m not sure they’d be good for each other romantically -- but boy howdy would they give it a good effort! 

Lyn and Alastren are both very active people, even if in extremely different ways. Contortionist business, sword swallowing and aerials are so far outside of Lyn’s usual run-of-the-mill work that she’d be extremely interested in watching him practice and learn some of the more academic aspects of being bendy and actually, you know, deep throating a sharp object. I feel like Lyn just being Very Strong and Very Concerned would be hilarious to Alast in general -- not only can she help spot him at times, but the idle concern of “oh no, no wait, don’t” would be of immense amusement to him.

I’m honestly not at all sure how their dating life would be. They have the potential to get up to quite a few shenanigans, but they also have the potential to get into some trouble -- not legal, but interpersonal conflict wise. I’m not sure Lyn would be able to be as Youthful as Alastren needs her to be, and she is still very much A Paladin. 

Their sex life would probably be spectacular. I don’t think Alastren would blush at all if Lyn asked for some of her more unusual kinks that she’s really unable to get anywhere else, and that would bring her a lot of joy, but I’m also not sure Alastren would be entirely comfortable being exclusive and that would pose some potential rocky problems. 

Not to mention Lyn’s at a point in her life where she’s looking toward longevity and family, and I’m not entirely sure Alastren’s ready for that level of commitment. 

All in all, they’d likely be in a burn-at-both-ends candle situation romantically -- hot and fast, but not long lasting without some major philosophical shifts. 

It’s been a while, partly because I forgot tumblr existed again? Huge shocker for folks who’ve been following this blog for a while, I’m sure. 

I stopped playing WoW not long after Shadowlands dropped, but I figured it’d be good to give a quick update on Alastren and what I had been intended to do with him during Shadowlands.

A drabble from February 2020 that I forgot to post here.
