😂 Share your funniest line (or dialogue exchange).
Funny lines are a bit hard to come by in the fics I'm currently working on, but here's a mildly humorous one that is probably funnier to the characters than to us, talking about a Doriathrim noblewoman (Oropher's sister) who went native among the Mithrim, regarding a Mithrimmin alliance with the Noldor and potential suitable matches.
Then he grinned and clapped her shoulder. "Try not to fall for Galadriel - her ties with Doriath would send Fornoreth after you, I daresay that a swan's wing would be nothing compared to the way that she would shatter you. She did not break all ties with her family there to live with us - only to have us crawl back to the trappings of Menegroth."

ooh neat. and especially the glowy blue crystal bits (assuming that's what it is) really makes me think of all the 1.0 zones remade in Realm Reborn and the scattered warped crystals and dalamud shards in various 2.0 zones
Thank you! It's neat for a certain value of neat, lol—although the actual video of the Searing is limited by its 2005-ness, you really feel it through the devastated landscape and people afterwards.
The crystals are actually the mechanisms/vessels of the Searing itself! So there are a bunch just scattered around. By GW2, the land has mostly healed, but the crystals remain.
oh i like that there's non-blonde options and envious of LONG hair
Yes, you can get just about any color hair you want (though there are ways to unlock even more). I was a little surprised at the idea of them being blonde, actually, though the Norn Guardian does default to it until you go into the main creation screen.
I do enjoy the long hair options. Humans have a similar very long and heavy ponytail, and both have a bunch of other long hair options, too.
(Oh, just saw that this replied from the sideblog! It's still me, lol.)
I know nothing about GW except what I half remember for your posts, and what I do makes me grateful that you cannot play as a Garlean.
Heh, probably for the best on my end!
WRT GW1, it's not strictly necessary to know anything in it for GW2—it was always understood that GW2 would be the much bigger game (as it is) and needed to supply enough information independently that GW2 could stand on its own. But GW2 is certainly richer (if sometimes more frustrating...) with GW1 familiarity, and I'm happy to explain the backstory for anything if you do end up trying GW2 out!
Even though your Ascalon grudge-blogging tells me Stormblood is the comparison to be made (I would SHOCKED if you played anything but an Ala Mhigan Hyur), I'd still love to take you through the free trial of ARR and HW. But I keep hearing about how well XIV and GW2 work as complementary opposites.
I have heard this also! I might try it someday—I do like trying new games, even if I don't have the mental bandwidth rn with grad school etc.
which hmm- using my Hellguard FemRoe BRD as a guide (support focused dps, least played female race, tall) - tell me what race/class you think i’d gravitate towards in GW2
Hmm.
I'm not sure what's the least played female race in GW2 (I would guess Charr or Asura, because there isn't a whole lot of sexual dimorphism with either and female Charr are profoundly unsexy unless you're into that). If you want a tall female character who is neither human nor Charr, you'd probably want a Norn, though—they look basically human (vaguely Scandinavian themed) but are like eight feet tall and sort of hulking. But I doubt they're the least played, for sure!
For class, which is much more important mechanically, I'm inclined to go Guardian based on that description, though my GW2 followers who play more classes than I do might judge better (I strongly favor the classic spellcasters). Guardians are sort of like paladins—they have a lot of support capacity, they wear heavy armor, they use straightforward weaponry in general, but they also deal in fire and radiance. So depending on how you specialize, there's plenty of potential for both damage and support, and they're also one of the best 'starter' classes because they're so strong.

slowly getting tempted the next time there's a patch lull to try GW2, if nothing else for failing at more jump puzzles and to be also enraged at the Charr. Not anytime soon, what with the new main xiv patch dropping in 12 hours XD . but only if i knew i could run into you for advice
Ohh, that would be super cool! Jumping puzzles are indeed an exercise in frustration, but I know the solutions to some, and I think you have sufficient GW1 information to share my annoyances, haha. And I really love the mechanics + customizing (and lack of subscription), so you might enjoy those as well alongside the rage :D
Let me know when you do feel like it and we can coordinate schedules!
Congratulations! What's your specialty? What will your dissertation be on?
Thanks! I try not to put all the details on Tumblr, haha, but I study British literature of the sixteenth to eighteenth centuries (roughly: it's really about 1550-1815, and there's some Continental).
