- any jealousy because he's on a personal quest to prove he's a worthy heir but Velen picks that up immediately but says nothing

Now Anduin's once again abdicated Velen goes "I know you're still on your journey of reconnecting to the Light, so here's a reminder that all beginnings are hard"

Thinking about how Anduin was in the Exodar around the age where kids abandon their toys as a way of "fitting in" with the adults, but might have not had any cute/fluffy stuff after Varian went missing and had to be King at 10, seeing draenei children acting like normal kids and trying not to show-

Meanwhile my pally gathering all the Turalyon portrait bits from the neighborhood trash and making a mosaic in the designated private chapel, it ok Turalyon, they will never understand you like I do

Headcanoning that Velen gave him that elekk plush as a "Welcome back from depression!" gift thank you and good night

The moment that punched me in the feels was when I realized that after the whole Stormwind segment where everyone's comparing Anduin to his warrior dad, you then go to the Broken Shore and you get no "kill X mobs" quests, just one where he heals some souls. Like, boi is just born to be a healer

Midnight's greatest sin is making me agree with the "OLD LORE WAS BETTER RAAAAGH" dudes on several occasions, why you do this to me Blizzard

We need the Orlando Bloom magic to make it good, he could be Jarod Shadowsong

So... when can we call this an attempt at public execution of political adversaries? Because that's literally what it is. Unless it being done through "legal" means makes it acceptable?? But Kirk's death was enough to make the right want a civil war???

Like, no WAY Maga doesn't see this, no?????

The profile pic is really the fooken icing on the cake lmao like bruh didn't *you* get firsthand experience with hoping for a character to be 1) involved and 2) written well like 3 expacs ago, the only thing worse than a fave not being included when they should is being included and written poorly 💀

What I find kind of funny is that while I am really not a fan of how Midnight's handling a lot of stuff (pally main waiting for the Light/Void war and the Light is just ✨sparkly✨ Void 💀) but people be hating the *concept* of friendship power like that's not been the core theme of the story since WC3

100%. She's literally the most "old school Warcraft paladin" that we've gotten at least since Legion.

TL;DR

The Night Elves already got robbed of a story centered on their pain & recovery over Teldrassil in favor of focusing on other characters' reactions, please don't repeat with the haranir unless the kaldorei are going to be the main player in a story about THEIR tree, Blizzard

#midnightbeta

(and we know how the latter turned out so it wasn't a win for anyone except a *certain* type of people that got exactly what they wanted. ugh)

So aNywAY, WHAT I'm saying is, if Blizzard's gonna revive the Teldrassil story and stir the pot again, the kaldorei better come FIRST (9/?)

#midnightbeta

- a story that focused on their status as the wronged faction AND as the focus of said story, that story got absorbed by Tyrande as a representative, then Tyrande (along with Anduin for a matter) got their arcs botched for Saurfang and then Sylvanas' expansion-spanning arcs (8/?)
November 16, 2025 at 9:28 AM
#midnightbeta

- the goodest most moral never angry never wrong individuals ever, to reprimand the dissenter-on-duty and show how unified and happy the faction is. Which was pretty much also the case with Thrall and the Horde in TWW)

So ANYWAY, what I'm saying is the night elves got denied (7/?)
November 16, 2025 at 9:23 AM
#midnightbeta

- keeps having and again, especially when writing the Alliance (not gonna get into that because that's a WHOLE can of worms of its own, but the short version is whenever the Alliance needs to be included but there's no actual plotline for it, you got Varian/Anduin/Jaina being (6/?)
November 16, 2025 at 9:18 AM
#midnightbeta

- the very same punishment and her choice or fate wasn't at ALL influenced by Tyrande's actions (or ours, or anyone else's for once)"

So, basically, the night elves' story got absorbed by Tyrande's, and Tyrande's amounted to nothing. And it just. REEKS of the issue that WoW (5/?)
November 16, 2025 at 9:15 AM
#midnightbeta

- people and to be genocided AND it's treated as her having an epiphany and ?? that helps the afterlife SOME of her people (that WE rescued) went to, then those same souls become mulch for a new world tree, and to top it off the person she swore revenge against already wanted (4/?)
November 16, 2025 at 9:11 AM
#midnightbeta

It all really boils down to "Tyrande loses some more friends that get undeadified, kills a val'kyr which has no consequence, yeets herself into Death realm and fails to save some kaldorei souls, 1v1s Sylvanas and fails to kill her, then learns her main deity actually allowed her (3/?)
November 16, 2025 at 9:07 AM
#midnightbeta

- greatest tragedy, but MAN if it doesn't feel like a punch to the gonads that the haranir are seemingly getting more attention for how the burning affected them than the *actual denizens* of Teldrassil did. Because even if you argue "Tyrande got her revenge/forgiveness(???) arc (2/?)
November 16, 2025 at 9:04 AM
- to pop up in the main cast's minds whenever they're alone/vulnerable and unrelentingly mess with them. ESPECIALLY cuz 3/5 of them are fresh out of the intergalactic Torment Nexus (Fr that was a good trailer I love the darker vibe of it, I wish/hope the Worldsoul Saga would go in that direction)
