I only just started episode 2, so right now all I want to say is that it's so funny watching Aabria's reaction literally ANYTIME Travis talks as Cerrit. Same, girl. Same.
Sure hope that voice will make the trauma go over easier!!
I don't know what the official ship names the community has been using are so I'm making these up on the spot xD
Occtien (art by Foxxology on tumblr): there are no words in the English language to describe how compelling these two are to me. I want 500 episodes of nothing but Occtien slowburn but if they don't kiss tomorrow I will die.
Wicanny (art by magemance on twitter): nothing against people who ship them, we're all just here having a good fun time. There's just too much codependence on Tyranny's side and too much being in love with another woman on Wick's side for me to really get into it.
Halaire (art by banana.ge.ge on instagram): guys. Guys look. I know Bolaire is very morally dubious. I know there would be major issues with consent if their relationship was more than emotional (beyond the issues with consent of Bolaire using another person's body as a vessel) and I hope they would be as sensitive as necessary about that. But have you considered that Hal looking at the moral clusterfuck that is Bolaire and still not being able to deny his feelings IS PART OF THE APPEAL.
Vaesha (art by therosecleric on instagram): they are from opposite sides of a war. They trust each other so much. Their ideals were the most incompatible ideals could be. They have each other's backs. They learn and grow together and find common ground and I can't wait for them to see each other again.
Thyranny (art by therosecleric on twitter): I just love how they play off each other and think they could be the ultimate force of chaos.
Azurray (art by drawsmaddy on tumblr): idk if this properly counts as a rarepair, but honestly, I'm pretty vanilla about my shipping usually, so I just found which of my major ships has the least fics on AO3 lol. I just love how they support each other, y'know?
Wichonis^2 (art by iwilltryalittlearter on tumblr): you gotta understand. It's for the bit. I cannot deny the bit.
Occtible (art by connieee_art on insta): I don't HATE them as a romantic ship, but I like them better as sibling/best friend-coded, especially since Alex has said that his crush on Thimble is a childhood admiration that he hasn't really moved past. Also especially for me as a person who really struggled to distinguish between a crush and a close friendship when I was growing up, would love to see that rep.
Katteor (official artwork): rest in peace, lion man :(
So, a few years ago, after I had already decided to give the game a try but before I had a computer strong enough to do so, a friend of mine showed me their character with the Nana Bear minion. As an avid stuffed animal fan, I couldn't get over how adorable it was, and I immediately decided it was the minion I wanted for my WoL. I even decided bears were his favorite animal.
When I started playing, I found out it was crafted. At the time, I didn't have any intention of leveling my crafters, at least not for a while, so I set that to the side and focused on the MSQ. And then... The MSQ kind of overwhelmed me, and I forgot about it. Even once I was off free trial, I didn't think to see if I could just buy it. And even when I got really into crafting and gathering, the thought that I could finally make it didn't cross my mind.
Well, after finishing my last project (maxing out my desynth), I decided my next project would be my crafting log, seeing as I have a bunch of random materials left over. Today I got to the weaver 46-50 section, and this was the very last thing on the list.
After 2.5 years and several other primary minions, I finally have the first one I ever wanted. It seems like such a little thing to get emotional about, but what can I say? It's been a long, hard journey for my WoL (95% because of decisions I've made about his story), and seeing him next to one of the first things from this game I fell in love with made me tear up a bit ngl.
Soooo anyway... Yeah, just a bit of fluff for y'all. I'd love to hear about any minions/mounts your WoL is attached to if you have them!
