I was actually expecting it would be Shaw and Valeera(what with Blizzard’s obession with human/elf pairing) but this was a pleasant suprise. And because I dont want to make another thread about it, bonus points because apperently gay marriage is a thing for Zandalari trolls.

I KNEW Flynn rolled both ways lol.

He’s too cool for only one gender to be attracted to him.

Maybe I missed it since I didn’t play 8.3… did they really set this pairing up somewhere in game?

Just act like this is normal and there won’t be anything wrong.

This is the internet, you know people can’t let something as inconsequential as this slide without blowing it out of proportion.

Okay I’m sorry but now this seems like complete pandering pulled out of nowhere.

there was absolutely zero precedent for this in the game so it seems like the writer just took bad fanfiction and made it canon

They get into a relationship and married all in the span of one book?

This is fantastic, I’m here for it.

Oh look, it only took seven posts.

I don’t see anything in the article talking about them getting married, just entering a relationship. Not sure where OP got the gay Zandalari marriage thing.

In Shadows Rising, there is a Zandalari wedding ceremony involving 2 female Zandalari Trolls.

There’s no prescedent for Lor’themar and Thalyrssra to be in a relationship yet they are. It’s like they forgot Liadrin existed.

Yeah, that was equally out of nowhere. Although I don’t remember if there was fanfic around them.

Flynn Fairwind can do so much better than Shaw though. I think that’s my only real issue with this pairing.

Seriously though, how did this become “one of the most popular fan pairings”? Where did it even start? I’m just curious since I’ve literally never heard of it.

Taelia was always for Anduin. You have to be blind to have missed that.

Part of the war campaign has them breaking into a vault together with some pretty well-written bantering. They play well off of each other.
