#patch 8.3

it is CANON that wrathion sexy-fied himself to go see anduin. it is canon. no i am not kidding. yes i have evidence.

(the mentions of levels are outdated but that's just bc i remember what it was like before the squish and havent tried the chromie questline after prepatch lmaoo)

so, the chromie questline from legion, right? wrathion is there in the black dragonshrine (shrine?? shire?? that's BEEN confusing me for a while because im a smooth brain)

um anyways

wrathion is there. still looking how he did in pandaria and draenor. KEEP IN MIND HERE that the chromie questline does not take place during legion despite that being when the questline was introduced. chromie transports you the time when your character was level 112 , which is a point in time during bfa (time travel is dumb but hey THIS TIME it makes sense)

and! dragons' humanoid forms do not age. and they get to choose how they look.. so.. this means that at some point in time in bfa after the point in time when the player character is level 112, wrathion changed his appearance to be the Man(tm) version.

which means that wrathion got all grown and sexy-looking to go see anduin! sir that is gay! that is gay! getting sexy looking to see your best friend that you used to homoerotically live with is pretty gay bro!

edit before someone brings it up: yes, i am aware this is because blizz hadn't made the new wrathion model yet.

Wrathion: 

*pulls out wallet and unfurls a long roll of photos*  

i haven’t seen anyone talk about some things yet, so... here we go!

“But N’Zoth turned a noble mind to madness, and now my father is only remembered as Deathwing.”

this line, specifically the part “turned a noble mind to madness” really clicked with me somehow. the word choice here is really interesting, because wrathion is talking to anduin, a king. a noble. and wrathion certainly holds him in a high regard. so by saying that, wrathion seems to be subtly implying that, should n’zoth fully corrupt anduin (because let’s be real, anduin is well on his way), that anduin won’t be remembered as anduin, king of stormwind and the alliance, but something far worse and much more terrible, something that anduin isn’t.

“And, as I haven’t the least desire to share that fate, I’ve been studying how to avoid it.”

this next line, while it doesn’t stand out as much, does have important things in it, too. wrathion, while not only trying to convince anduin that he knows a lot about n’zoth and that he is willing to help, is also hinting at the notion that anduin should do the same. this becomes more clear later in the cinematic, but at the moment anduin refuses to listen to whatever wrathion is trying to say because it’s not straight to the point (and it never really is with wrathion).
