thoughts on sylvanas’ short, they’re long, ignore me im ranting and really wish blizzard would give half as much of a fuck as I did about their stupid fucking game and had any more than 0.1% understanding of their characters

im pretty sure that whoever is/are in charge of writing world building premises for world of warcraft are not the same people writing the actual character motivations and dialogue for the characters enacting stuff. i get it. the dude who writes “sylvanas burns teldrassil” is not the same guy as the person who wrote for sylvanas’ warbringer short, and that might also be a team of writers who share motivations, dialogue, and storyboard

but minor irritations aside (sylvanas dies in a mission called “the fall of silvermoon” but its the sunwell map, where kelthuzad is resurrected, and the mission BEFORE that is the mission that attacks ghostlands/eversong altho presumably not silvermoon, and at the time the sunwell wasn’t on quel’danas yet so i GUESS the geography changed, which is fine since its been almost 2 decades since wc3, but the short should’ve more accurately reflected sylvanas’ place of death since she died at the very end of the elves’ bitter campaign and no where near the beginning, which the short implies since she dies outside of the city with the golden fields and a civilian outside, and i know im a die-hard syvlanas stan and lore purist but imo what this short reflects a severe mis- and under-representation of sylvanas’ death, especially since she becomes a named banshee unit that participates in killing the last of her people and what remains of her kingdom)

this was bad writing. which ever fucker said “sylvanas burns teldrassil” that couldve been written in many ways, without making the alliance responsible (even tho they lowkey are and should be), that doesn’t portray... this. whoever wrote this dialogue+motivations wasn’t just someone who knows nothing about WC3, it was someone who hasn’t paid attention to ANY of sylvanas’ dialogue over the years; not her click speech, her quest dialogue, her part during the Northrend campaign such as the Horde halls of reflection or the battle for the undercity. its hard to swallow ‘sylvanas is evil/misunderstood/warmongering’ but its not like theyre trying to make it easy to swallow or a worthwhile, interesting story put already in canon

sylvanas wants to kill the concept of hope? sylvanas EMBODIES the concept of bitter, bitter hope. she literally freed herself from arthas and continued to bide her time to hunt him, even during the halls of reflection she maintained determination, patience, and desire of vengeance. this desire for vengeance EMBODIES hope lmao. it was the only thing driving the forsaken - it wasn’t a ‘positve’ hope that we typically associate with the word, but the desire for vengeance in not only arthas’ demise, but through rebuilding a society (both pre and post cata these were the forsaken’s motivations) embodies a level of ‘hope’ that isn’t really seen anywhere else except in MAYBE thrall, pre-cata jaina and pre-legion anduin (honestly, even post legion anduin; i dont play alliance and can only judge from his dialogue at varian’s funeral)

the idea that sylvanas wants to kill all the living is not only antithetical to her modus operandi for the last 16 years; its an incredible misunderstanding of her character on a fundamental level. even if that wants/needs to change we can argue and argue and argue for a potential lore reason/character development behind that (which would probably boil down to “old gods” but w/e) and we argue post-wotlk sylvanas changes significantly from pre-arthas’ fall BECAUSE of arthas fall through char development and lore we never saw becuase blizzard hates women and they want to put that out NOW, FINE

but “wants to kill hope”? ... oke

look one misunderstanding? from blizzard? onto their female characters? dissapointing but not surprising. but wow fans have for a very long time been actively ignoring canon or twisting lore to have it make some sort of sense, because a lot of people very deeply care about this game and its story and its characters, and a lot of lore/timelines/character motivations have been twisted over the years and have been dissapointing but can arguably make sense within what semblance of lore we have (im not a fan of new jaina, but theres definitely enough lore+character building to have it become plausible for her to be who she is now, even if i dislike it, that fundamental change in her values didnt come out of nowhere even if it was horrifically orchestrated because blizzard wanted to see her suffer and portray her like this lmao) but sylvanas’ character is being utterly decimated on a level that even jaina hasnt experienced, and to be frank im fucking furious and genuinely hurt

say what you want abt chris metzen but of all his dumb shit he wouldn’t have pulled this. at least he KNEW sylvanas, even if that meant he never used her or wrote for her a ton.

in the quest dialogue, sylvanas says that the campaign starts as a preemptive defensive strike against the alliance re:azerite in silithus, and while i disagree/think thats kind of questionable we know that garrosh’s unwillingness towards preemtive strikes led to death of a lot of innocent tauren in the barrens, and led to the bombing of theramore as a reactionary result, and sylvanas has canonically been known to be bitter, practical to a fault, and morally “grey” so saying “burn this tree down lmao, we’re gonna have to do it anyway, at least now we prevent innocents dying first and we get the lumber in ashenvale, hope the warsong are happy” is... alright. acceptable to a degree within the confines of the narrative they’ve forced upon me, even if the narrative itself is shit. but this? kill all the living? kill “hope”? this fundamental misunderstanding of her character. her lack of remorse at the ranger, these were moments that could’ve significantly foreshadowed a redemption arc but ten bucks on a fucking reworked siege of orgrimmar =)

anyway fuck blizzard

Asian stocks mixed, oil prices up after Iran general killed

Asian stocks were mixed Friday and oil prices surged after an Iranian general was killed by US forces in Iraq. Benchmarks in Shanghai and Hong Kong declined. Australia and some Southeast Asian markets advanced. Japanese markets were closed. News that Gen. Qassem Soleimani, head of Iran's elite Quds Force, was killed in an air attack at the Baghdad international airport prompted expectations of Iranian retaliation against U.S. and Israeli targets. "A big fat dollop of geopolitical uncertainty has landed on investors desks," said Jeffrey Halley of Oanda in a report. Overnight, Wall Street rose to new records, boosted by technology stocks. Investors were encouraged by expectations of stronger global economic growth in 2020 and the planned signing of an interim US-Chinese trade agreement. The Shanghai Composite Index shed 0.3% to 3,076.73 and Hong Kong's Hang Seng lost 0.2% to 28,482.88. Taiwan and Singapore also declined. Seoul's Kospi was off less than 0.1% at 2,173.20 and Sydney's S&P-ASX 200 gained 0.7% to 6,739.80. India's Sensex opened down 0.3% at 41,505.83. Markets in Malaysia and Indonesia, both oil producers, gained. There was no immediate indication how Iran would respond to Soleimani's death, but Tehran has seized oil tankers and shot down a U.S. military drone. On Wall Street, the benchmark S&P 500 index climbed 0.8% to 3,257.85. The Dow Jones Industrial Average rose 1.2% to 28,868.80. The Nasdaq composite gained 1.3% to 9,092.19. Walt Disney, Boeing, Apple and other big companies rose. Technology sector stocks accounted for a good part of the upward move. Smaller-company stocks lagged the broader market's gains. The S&P 500 and Nasdaq closed out the year Tuesday with their best annual performance since 2013. Investors are waiting for Washington and Beijing to formalize a trade deal that has helped ease market jitters over the 18-month-old dispute between the world's two biggest economies. Washington and Beijing announced a "Phase 1" pact that calls for the US to reduce tariffs and China to buy larger quantities of US farm products. This week, President Donald Trump tweeted that he will sign the initial trade deal with China at the White House this month. In currency markets, the dollar declined to 108.09 yen from Thursday's 108.56 yen. The euro edged down to $1.1168 from $1.1171. Oil surge While equity markets turned lower, oil prices surged on news of Soleimani's death, with global benchmark Brent crude shooting 3.02% higher to $68.25 per barrel and U.S. West Texas Intermediate crude jumping 2.75% to $62.86 per barrel. News of the strikes came after U.S. Defense Secretary Mark Esper said on Thursday there were indications Iran or forces it backs may be planning additional attacks after Iranian-backed demonstrators hurled rocks at the U.S. embassy in Baghdad following American strikes on Sunday against bases of the Tehran-backed Kataib Hezbollah group. Esper warned that the "game has changed" and it was possible the United States might have to take preemptive action to protect American lives. In currency markets, the dollar weakened as investors snapped up safe-haven yen. The greenback fell 0.52% against the Japanese currency to 108.00. The dollar was flat against the euro at $1.1170. The dollar index, which tracks the dollar against a basket of six major rivals, was down 0.09 per cent at 96.758. The US strikes in Iraq and a weaker dollar combined to burnish the value of gold, driving the precious metal 0.75% higher on the spot market to $1,540.25 per ounce, around four-month highs. Gold prices hit four-month high Gold prices climbed to a four-month high on Friday, as tensions mounted in the Middle East after a senior Iranian military official was killed in a US air strike, while a weaker dollar also provided some support to the metal. News from the Middle East along with some technical buying and a weaker dollar is supporting gold prices today," said Benjamin Lu, analyst at Phillip Futures. Spot gold hit its highest since Sept. 5 at $1,540.48 and was up 0.6 per cent at $1,538.42 per ounce by 0250 GMT. US gold futures gained 0.9 per cent to $1,541.20 per ounce.  For the week, spot gold has gained 1.9 per cent, heading for a fourth consecutive weekly increase. Read the full article

Morning Snapshot: Gold market closed, but fundamentals remains supportive

USAGOLD/Peter Grant/04-14-17

Most markets are closed today in observance of Good Friday, so gold is not trading. However, there were some significant U.S. data releases that would have likely pushed the yellow metal higher.

U.S. retail sales fell 0.2% in March, below expectations of unchanged, versus a negative revised -0.3% in February (was +0.1%). Retail sales ex-auto were unchanged, on expectations of +0.2%. That makes two consecutive monthly declines, despite robust consumer sentiment. So, consumers are apparently very optimistic . . . but not enough to actually buy anything . . .

U.S. CPI fell 0.3% in March, below expectations of unchanged. Annualized consumer inflation slowed to 2.4% from 2.7% in February.

Core CPI was -0.1%, on expectations of +0.2%. That’s the first decline in core inflation since January 2010. The annualized pace of core consumer inflation slowed to 2.0% from 2.2% in February.

Now, one month of data do not necessarily mean the reflation trade has come to an abrupt end, but it is cause for concern. Today’s data will lower expectations of future Fed rate hikes and will lead to downward revisions to Q1 GDP forecasts.

Along with the economic concerns, geopolitical risks remain elevated as well. Use of the very large MOAB ordinance against an ISIS position in Afghanistan heightens tensions in the middle east. Meanwhile, North Korea continues to hint at a possible nuclear test. There is speculation that the U.S. may launch a preemptive strike and the North Koreans have said they will retaliate if that were to happen. The Chinese are ramping-up pressure on Pyongyang in an apparent effort to defuse the situation.
