Names Rikaku in about every game I play, but you can call me Rika.

Things you'll likely find here:
🎉 Video Games (Esp FFXIV & WoW)
🎉 Anime (esp Gundam)
🎉 Animal Pictures
🎉 Bad Words
🎉 SFW

I'll eventually put a real pinned post, but for now. This'll do.

Meme format showing a Night Elf Hunter from Warcraft. She is talking normally standing in front of a battle pet NPC. "this is where I would level my Argus Holiday Pet" it reads.

"If I had one!" The night elf Hunter angrily yells.

Some players dedicate themselves to making new playable allied races. If I have to, I will become that person but for Reverse Giraffe Lava Long Dogs.

THEY. DESERVE. TO B. TAMEABLE.

Ok Blizzard. Hear me out. Just for a moment.

These models are already tameable. And they are tall. And they look goofy when they move, and they shrink down a lot in order to be a Hunter pet... but thats ok, cause we love them anyways!!!

SO PLEASE GIVE US THE LAVA LONG DOGS. CMON!!!!

Image of a Volcanic Deepstrider (or what the OP loves to call, a Reverse Giraffe Lava Long Dog). It is a strange creature with long legs similar to a giraffe, but more draconic in features. It is walking around in lava deep in a cave.

POTATOADS! At first, I wasn't sure if these playful muppet-like bipedal pollywogs would be tameable or just be critters, but it turns out they are - in the Hopper family (of course!).

It's very likely taming them will require the Florafaun taming skill, which we don't yet know much about.

Model shots of 5 colours of the new Potatoad model coming in WoW: Midnight. These are like bipedal Pollywogs with plant effects (leafy growths, blooms at the ends of their tails). Colours: blue & green, red & green, maroon & teal, red & green, green & tan.

SPOREGLIDERS are a fancy and welcome addition to the tiny Sporebat family.

Their frame is clearly similar to the new dragonhawk model, even if the creatures aren't related.

Model shots of 4 colours of the new sporeglider model coming in WoW: Midnight. These are somewhat fungoid, long and sleek, flying creatures with 6 fleshy wings and a network of glowing protuberances and the ends of their tails. Colours: teal blue with pink glows, olive green with orange glows, magenta with cyan glows, and bright red.

Midnight hunter pet models added to the database tonight.

(A thread - I'll add one panel per post!)

First up, the gorgeous, ethereal new EVERSONG MANA WYRMS.

A stunning update, and a call-back to the wyrm in the BC trailer, which was a lot fancier than the game model ended up being.

Model shots of 6 mana wyrm colours coming in WoW: Midnight. Essentially, flyng ethereal serpents or eels with translucent back halves and beaky, scaled faces. Colours: blue, green, purple, red-gold, dark purple, gold.

Its been like 10 years and the DH NPC lines still go so damn hard.

Independent C-SPAN caller to Rep. Mark Alford: "You're taking credit for $50b that you just gave to the hospital industry. That's after you took away $150b. You don't take credit for just giving back a little bit of money after taking away so much. So quit lying. It just makes you look horrible."

if you think about it Bright is kinda the main character of UC Gundam.

Who was in 0079, Zeta, ZZ, and Char's Counterattack?

Whose son is currently causing problems?

That's right.

Actual conversation with my friends last night.

"Yeah, so I saw the legs and it looked REALLY good. So I bought it."

"... You bought Gunpla because you liked the legs??"

"I told myself I didn't need it, but it turns out I did need it. IT'S GOT THE LEGS."

So anyways I bought this:
