Due to profile character limits, here's a bit more about myself. A sort of FAQ, if these were actual frequently asked questions rather than me just talking to myself. Here goes!

Blessing your feed this Hallows Eve Eve with a reminder that Keith Haring hand-painted Grace Jones for the movie Vamp. I don't know what the rest of the movie is about. It's pretty much all this scene really...

Tonight's spoopy movie was Sinners which I took way too long getting around to see, but worth every second once I did... it's a ride and a barrage of emotions.

I had deleted the post and reposted it because the photos didn't show up, but yeah it was exactly what I needed. I have a lot of REI gear...I used to hike more.

I can shove a lot in there! like five t-shirts and four pj bottoms and a bunch of undies but my knees don't rebel when I carry it down two flights. Making it easier to carry said pizza, some caramel apple Werthers because I am an old, and a bat PEZ dispenser because I am also still a child.

A closed pizza box that has the following resting on top: Werther's Original Caramel Apple soft caramels which makes them less Werther's Originals, an orange PEZ dispenser topped with an adorable bat on top and a bag of Reeses's pumpkins that we all know are just some vague round shape and look nothing like pumpkins but I was really wanting that weird Reese's peanut butter today.

Open box of pizza showing two, square Sicilian style slices and two Neapolitan Margherita style slices with the basil, the delicious scent of which was wafting through the box as I walked it home, clearly visible. Mmmm pizza!

Tip: If you have to schlep your laundry to the laundromat and had a huge bag that acted as a deterrent for something you already hated doing, get something like the laundry backpack from REI to force you to do it more often and carry less weight while leaving your hands free to carry pizza home. 👍🍕

Just out here doing laundry and thought for a sec it was a wanted poster for Peter Murphy until I lifted the flyer above it. Nah just a goth guitarist! This is adorably old school! 🦇

I'm really going to need to limit my design time to get other things done. I also love where the community forming around housing is going!

I'm also mad jealous of meggo's video skills! 😅 I'm not just watching to see what others are doing, I'm going, "ooo... I liked that transition!" Good stuff!

Civic duty and whatnot. Definitely busier than usual—even the last presidential election (which is depressing). Though unclear from the other people voting if it was because the raging racists are scared or because NYC really really wants Cuomo to know how much we hate him. 🤞 (ignore the cat hair)

My point, finally, is that the 1st option doesn't make sense given what any of the Shal'dorei say during their quest line so "free from their addiction" should be something like "end their suffering and take back their home." Hot take to some maybe. I read too much into these things! 🤷‍♀️

Dialog from Legion Remix with five different response options. Moratari asks the following of the player character: "Tell me Amethyss, what happened with Suramar and its rebellion? What can we learn from their story?"

Suramar Liberated
Quest option 1: It is a story of hope: despite the risk of withering, the Nightfallen persisted until they were free from their addiction.
Option 2: It is a story of tragedy: the Nightfallen reclaimed their home at an immeasurable cost. Those who did not perish are left to grieve for those who did.
Option 3: It is a warning: a power as great as the Nightwell will eventually corrupt anyone who attempts to use it.
Option 4: It is a lesson in leadership: exiling criminals will only lead to civil unrest.
Option 5: It is a lesson in consequences: when Grand Magistrix Elisande sided with Gul'dan, she committed herself to a path of evil, regardless of her good intentions.

🎃🕸️👻🦇 🪦Arlaeya Explores spoooooky graveyards OooOOOOOoo!🪦🦇👻🕸️🎃 @arlaeyaexplores.bsky.social · 4d

Valtrois wanted to stabilize the Nightwell so they could still use it even though they no longer needed it. Thalyssra made the decision to not do that, but it's the first time the idea that it was better to do without it was stated outright among any of the Shal'dorei.

🎃🕸️👻🦇 🪦Arlaeya Explores spoooooky graveyards OooOOOOOoo!🪦🦇👻🕸️🎃 @arlaeyaexplores.bsky.social · 4d

The fact that the arcan'dor provided more than relief and sustenance but was an actual cure (which could have been clearer honestly--a random Shal'dorei saying it when you give them fruit from it is not enough) was an added bonus, or treated as such.

🎃🕸️👻🦇 🪦Arlaeya Explores spoooooky graveyards OooOOOOOoo!🪦🦇👻🕸️🎃 @arlaeyaexplores.bsky.social · 4d

The Legion and Elisande must be defeated, yes, but the Nightwell was expected to be reclaimed to be used again. This did not change with tapping into leylines and the success of the arcan'dor.

🎃🕸️👻🦇 🪦Arlaeya Explores spoooooky graveyards OooOOOOOoo!🪦🦇👻🕸️🎃 @arlaeyaexplores.bsky.social · 4d

And there's nothing wrong with that... addiction is very complicated. The Nightfallen you meet are very aware that the cause of their suffering is their dependency on the Nightwell but not once do any of them say it must be destroyed to save their people.

🎃🕸️👻🦇 🪦Arlaeya Explores spoooooky graveyards OooOOOOOoo!🪦🦇👻🕸️🎃 @arlaeyaexplores.bsky.social · 4d

I would have gone with the 4th if it didn't say "criminals" but rather, "opponents." For reasons...

About the 1st one... here's the thing, at no time did any Shal'dorei say they had to be free of their addiction to the Nightwell's energies, just that they needed mana to not become withered.

Lemix update: I'm done with Suramar and all the story in Legion for now. I've really been enjoying Eternus and Moratari checking in with you for your feedback for various story lines. I think in less volatile times, I would have gone with the second option but I went with the third. #warcraft

Another thing on my housing wish list... I'm looking all voer for windows with some kind of [searches on-line... several minutes later] a glass box window type deal like these in Mereldar. Knowing that I can tile these near the ceiling, I could make a greenhouse sort of thing! #warcraft

A window within an eave in Mereldar, Hallowfall, consisting of multiple panels, separated by what looks like some sort of gold-painted metal bars into 9 segments topped with an arch in the same style containing two additional curved panels

Poster has no idea what this type of window would be called. Multi-panel?
