I believe they are the one we rescued from the spider cave.

The first time I read this, I was picturing the spider cave in Shadow Glen, the night elf starter area, and I was like ā€œthere is no tauren in the spider cave!! We just go there to kill spiders and get a fang for an antidote!!ā€

Because Exileā€™s Reach is just so far from my memory.

I should play through that zone, one of these days.

Though finding a class I enjoy, and which has good mogs that go with Night Elf body proportions is a bit of a painā€¦

The Hordeside of the Exileā€™s Reach experience is far and beyond better even though itā€™s basically a near exact mirrored experience. The Alliance one has this weird layer of cringe that I really canā€™t stand, so I hope that we can eventually pick our AI group or it becomes more customizable in some way.

I would love thisā€¦ though Iā€™m already imagining how itā€™d be abused to make Xist contentā€¦ gah, the human race is such a kill joy at times.

I am not entirely sure I know what this is, but I am very sure I do not think I wish to know.

Just shorthand for racist, sexistā€¦ so forth. In this case using X in the form of a variable akin to its nature in mathematics.

edit: Iā€™m going to vanish into the void of WoW for a while, today is looking like a downerday. I try to not bring it to the forums.

I would just love a cool group of interfactional girl hero baddies to adventure with!

Like, if I could just run a dungeon with all of my own characters like the warband thing thatā€™s coming, omg.

Do you understand how baller all my gals are? :sob:

Samesies on the downeriness, but Iā€™m just folding myself up next to my liā€™l crafting desk and painting stuff.

And checking here when my eyes need a break because you guys make me smile sometimes.

We shall get through this, Nightsong. We shall be okay.

Iā€™m here or in game on moonguard ally side if anyone needs to talk or vent :bear:

Yes, I do. I feel the same way about my girls, both in game and in life. I would love to have the ability to run all girl groups of my own charactersā€¦

However, I can also see why the devā€™s might not be ok with thatā€¦ I already see some cring stuff when I run into multi-boxers. I donā€™t even want to try imagining what the rage-farmers/influencers, will get up to just make waves get more time in the spotlight.

I wish my hands were steady enough for that. Iā€™ve always wanted to do some 40k minis, even if I donā€™t/wonā€™t play the game some of those are awesome lookingā€¦ and if could mod them Iā€™d make them even coolerā€¦

I feel the same way.

Thanks.

In my case I just need to ride this out while my brain chemistry cycles. Thankfully my form of this crap is more on the mild end of things.

May I recommend the time honored art of pillaging as many blankets as possible and cocooning in them?

I am currently following the infamous theory(put forth jokingly by Reddit Posters on the grounds they share the same Golden Eyes) that Abaddon the Despoiler might be the Emperor himself.

Soā€¦ would you like a Daemonic Black Emperor version of Abaddon of the Black Legion complete with Horns?

I may be wrapped up in several blankets while I playā€¦ yes, I just may be warm and comfyā€¦

Iā€™ve heard some out there 40k theories before and this would be interesting to say the least. Personally my favorite fan lore of 40k is the Dornian Heresy in which Rogal Dorn becomes the champion of chaos undivided. Itā€™s close but not a full flip of the situation.

Iā€™m not fully certain how to respond to that. I donā€™t really share my personal info with people.

I would love to see pics though if you wanted to share them.

I love flat earthers. I simply ask them, ā€œWho did the brainwashing prior to NASAā€ and they just unravel. They have no answer.

Because itā€™s that kind of dayā€¦

Warrior Night Elf Pherea

So moodā€¦ checkā€¦

Great, great yep first step kill some baby sabersā€¦ because we donā€™t want them eating more than they shouldā€¦ not because they are starving or anythingā€¦ nope.

K, that was grisly, hoped I found the weak ones, they were awfully trusting.

Next up I need to kill some Grel, which look an awful lot like impsā€¦ hmmm, and take some moss they have, which they wonā€™t let me have while they live soā€¦ oh and they stole some stuff, but oddly they donā€™t care if I take that backā€¦ huh.

Now I get to go check on some priestessā€¦ Sheā€™s pretty I think she needs some flowersā€¦ wow she liked the ones I picked up. I might have been a bit distracted all I heard was spiders and rewardā€¦ hope itā€™s a nice reward. Why is this Fawn here? Oh well sheā€™s helping my get a reward from the priestess. Gotta kill the big one and grab its fang? Whateverā€¦ hey whoā€™s he and whyā€™s she paying so much attention to himā€¦ bah time to move on.

I grab some moonwell water, who knew anyone could take someā€¦, and go see somebody at the top of a tree and get told to jump off said treeā€¦ why did I climb up hereā€¦ whatever.

Someone needs me to help them carry their stuff, because they clearly packed too much and thenā€¦ oh that furry guy needs help. Foulhoofā€¦ thatā€™s an awful name children can be so cruel. Clearly, itā€™s not his fault heā€™s got stinky hooves. Seems he needs some stuff, stuff I can only get by killing the creatures that have it. Well, it was good enough for the Saber babiesā€¦

Finally dropped off that crap, and got more deliveriesā€¦ sighā€¦ waitā€¦ no clearly no one told my Foulhoof was a bad personā€¦ whatā€™s a satyrā€¦ seriously I clearly wouldnā€™t have helped Foulhoof if I had known thatā€¦ also what? Why was it ok to kill the saber babies but not these others? Bah, you people need to workout whatā€™s acceptable and notā€¦ this is why I became a warrior instead of a bloody druid like my brother being a warrior is simple. See that body go beat on it until it stops threatening othersā€¦ simple unlike druidsā€¦ all but balance must be maintainedā€¦

Well duh, without balance my strikes have no powerā€¦

((Iā€™m not actually sure if Iā€™m happy or just enjoying tearing apart these questsā€¦))

I watched a documentary about them once that had me shaking my head.

ā€œIf we do this and the light doesnā€™t go straight through then it proves the earth is round.ā€

Test proves the earth is roundā€¦

ā€œHuhā€¦ that canā€™t be right. What did we do wrong?ā€

Meanwhile Iā€™m sitting there just sad about how disconnected the clearly intelligent kid is from reality and basic deductive reasoning.

So, 40k minis isnā€™t very far off from what I paint, and my hands are also very unsteady, so if this is a thing you truly want to get into, I have suggestions!!

Depending on your workspace, you either want to rest your hands, specifically wrists, on your desk (I do this) or on your chest. Having something solid and relatively stable resolves quite a lot of problems that older people like me face with their hands.If the shivers are particularly bad, you can even go so far as to rest the edge of your hands, the likeā€¦ Choppy side. Rest that along with the wrists and just use that stability to keep your hands still.

Also, painting while exhaling!! This one works very well. Remove the brush from the piece when you inhale, then paint while exhaling. This is also amazing for centering yourself and calming your anxiety.

Also, do not accidentally mix up your glasses of water. One is for drinking and the other is for brush cleaning. Always, always, always remember which is which and do not accidentally drink from the wrong one. Not because of toxicity; most paints youā€™ll use are very nontoxic. But you will never get that taste out of your mouth.

Allegedly.

So Iā€™ve been told.

I never have done this.

It was very yucky.

Oh, oh!! Also suggestion!!

I dunno if you play with the sound off or on, but Teldrassil? It is such a sound on zone. Iā€™m 95% of the time a sound off person, but Teldrassil not only has just the best vibes visually, but also audibly.

I love your playthrough notes. I know exactly which quest you seem to be doing throughout. I mightā€™ve secretly made quite a lot of night elves over my years, and I know that zone far, far too well.

Normally I have the sound on but the music off.
Itā€™s not bad, reminds me of some of the old ā€œStar Warsā€ style music that some movies would use back in the old days.

You know what those fools did to that Foulhoof guyā€¦ not kill himā€¦ nope. Turned him into a frogā€¦ because he would totally not feel slighted and driven to seek revengeā€¦ nope, Foulhoof seems like a levelheaded sortā€¦ the people Iā€™m working for howeverā€¦ seriously who turns people into frogs and thinks itā€™s justice?

Fineā€¦ not sure whatā€™s so bad about harpiesā€¦ woahā€¦ who knew blood red feathers could look so goodā€¦ even those ones with the white feathers look very good. Why do we keep hurting these lovely ladies? Ok fine they are seriously rough, not cool! I said no, now stop itā€¦ well the jerks got their quota. Hope they know all they did was make those cuties hate us moreā€¦ hopefully they leave this blighted tree and find some place thatā€™s free of those that want to hate them.

Had to collect more and more waterā€¦ and then ā€¦ By the Blood of Elune, itā€™s got kitty ears! I want it! What do you mean itā€™s corruptedā€¦ clearly, itā€™s been improved, cat ears makeā€¦ ok nearlyā€¦ everything better. Alsoā€¦ for a goddess she sure does take her time getting around to doing stuffā€¦ I think Iā€™d have done better just beating it with my titanic strength! Seriously I got two big blades I got this, who needs a shield with this much awesome.

Note: Iā€™m not talking about that time I got stuck underground with the cute Huntress who couldnā€™t remember how to get out eitherā€¦ that was a lot of running around and consulting mist that never seemed to know what it wanted to do, not how I would have liked to have spent our timeā€¦

Oh well off to Darkshoreā€¦ because thatā€™s not ominousā€¦

((Somewhat disjointed because Iā€™d gotten distracted by a story during the play throughā€¦ and once the forums stop freaking out on me, Iā€™ll post it in the Lore/Fanfiction section as well as where it currently is in the Lounge.))
