Hi real quick does anyone have the cat gif that goes like this

And by having Lothar as the protagonist, we were robbed of the full tragedy of Medivh, too. When Khadgar is the centre of the story, Medivh is his mentor he's trying to impress, and also the mighty wizard who had his youth stolen in a way that Khadgar himself will soon experience. He's a mystery, but also present and likeable, and it makes his downfall so much more tragic (I'm wording this badly, but it just doesn't hit as hard when we're spending the story with Lothar doing Serious Manly Stuff and Sleeping with Hot Orc and Saving the Kingdom)

The reason Warcraft 2016's human plot doesn't work is because they made Lothar the protagonist instead of Khadgar

when i was a kid my parents bought me an inflatable doll of the Scream by Edvard Munch (??) that was significantly taller than i was at the time and i used to slow-dance with it and pretend it was my boyfriend. It had its hands attached to its head obviously so it felt like he was always a bit horrified to be forced to dance with me

They had a whole ass book with the adventures of silly baby wizard, his eccentric and tragic mentor, and his cool orc bestie, and they threw it away for Angsty Man with Sword

99% of "mysterious disappearances" esp of people in their 20s who start acting weird for 48 hours and then vanish are not mysterious, thats just when a lot of reality-obliterating mental illness tends to kick in and it's pretty easy to get a short circuit in your brain that makes you go family guy death pose in joshua tree national park. it's not any less tragic, it's just a documented phenomenon and not particularly predictable. its a big reason the medical advice is for people with a family history of schizophrenia to completely avoid weed and psychedelics. "people just go crazy sometimes" is a principle of human health that used to be a lot more accepted prior to the american midcentury and to a certain extent thats a healthier way to conceptualize and prepare for the risk, as opposed to the modern assertion that anyone acting weird is dangerous and broken forever.

The world exists in such a baffling state of simultaneous sex-aversion and sex-hegemony. Every social platform on the internet is trying to banish sex workers to the shadow realm but I can't post a tweet without at least two bots replying P U S S Y I N B I O. People are self-censoring sex to seggs and $3× but every other ad you see is still filled with half-naked women. Rightwingers want queer people arrested for so much as existing in the same postal code as a child and are also drumming up a moral panic about how teenage boys aren't getting laid enough. I feel like I'm losing my mind.

i just saw the tag “canon complicit” instead of “canon compliant” and im laughing its like “canon is a criminal act that i unfortunately support with this fic”

Genuinely one of the best things in fiction is letting a character have a real ugly cry. Get out of here with that ‘single silent tear’ bullshit, you cowards. I want the catharsis of an actual emotional breakdown! Make it noisy, make it wet and snotty and gross! Make it ugly and unfiltered and raw!
