Hello, I'm Silriven, one of those troublemakers who ships Anduin Wrynn with Wrathion. I write queer fanfic and talk about video games for fun, mostly World of Warcraft.

I can't remember what the hell I was even talking about, just that it was definitely about Bl*zzard, which famously has only been staffed by the purest of heart

Grr, I can't find the screenshot I posted on here of that time a game dev quote reposted me because they were personally insulted that I was talking about "game development" as if it was a field that encompassed more than just them and their very small social circle of other progressive game devs.

Look, whenever I see a mage tower skin in the wild I don't think "gee wiz, there goes a really special player! I'm in awe of what skills they must have in playing their class!" I just think "god damn it, I wish I'd started playing WoW earlier."

Okay. Random Anduin and Wrathion facts whenever I think of them. 🤔✨️

For example - as we head into Midnight and The Last Titan is next on the horizon... Did you know that Wrathion has already been to Northrend in regards to his research?

The image is of in-game from World of Wracraft. The quest text is from the BFA quest where you collect Wrathion's torn journal.

It reads:

My hope was that the Vault of Archavon would hold the answers I seek. Unfortunately, though the Vault contained much material for me to study, the giants who make it their home were... less than cordial to me upon my arrival. I cannot say I blame them, given their previous encounters with "visitors" from the Alliance and the Horde.

““They dragged little Greta [Thunberg] by her hair before our eyes, beat her, and forced her to kiss the Israeli flag. They did everything imaginable to her, as a warning to others,” the Turkish activist ErsinÇelik, a participant in the Sumud flotilla, told Anadolu news agency.”+

I even stumbled across an ancient clip of Arthas and Kael butting heads over Jaina. In the original rts there's a line where Lich King Arthas taunts Kael over the fact that he "stole" Jaina from him.

I can't believe I was able to find a voice line or *several* to accompany most of the pairings on my list. I know there's plenty of times Malfurion and Tyrande call each other "my love", for example, but also Illidan's feelings for Tyrande are very much TEXTUAL in Legion AND the original rts games!

At this rate, I want to see Stellagosa and Valtrois kissing with tongue the next time they show up.

There's an entire "stay awhile and listen" on the Horde side of Dragonflight where Lor'themar and Thalyssra reminisce for like a minute and a half about their courtship and their wedding. "Whether under the light of the sun or the rays of the moon, I will love you for all my days, Thalyssra."

Do you know that Jaina has a joke line where she brags about having once dated a "bad boy"? Do you know that BAINE has a joke line where he basically calls Mayla Highmountain's antlers sexy??? I keep finding stuff like this, it doesn't stop!!

I wanted to make like a giant supercut of moments in Warcraft that highlight heterosexual relationships between main characters for this upcoming video. I've been pulling clips together in my spare time for like four days and I'm exhausted, there's just SO MUCH.
