what if years from now homestuck is regarded as a piece of classic literature taught in high school English classes
teacher: class take out your homestuck volume one turn to page 140
students: omg we’re going to have a quiz today what’s godtier again I should have studied
: do we have to read the pesterlogs
: i think I’ll just look up the intermission on sparknotes tonight
: ugh I can’t understand a word in this did andrew hussie even know proper english
: name all the trolls in order of blood caste what help
attn all bitch ass healers
when you show how much you fail at healing or that you don’t care.. i am now going to do the same when tanking . bc i am fucking done with your bullshit.
kthx /frustrationrnt u that girl from yesterday who was bithcing about paladins
i think they are and they need to stop like seriously
if every healer you come across sucks ass maybe you should look at the common factor here
which would be you
Ahaha. A tank.. Complaining.
I mean, I come across A LOT of great tanks, and shitty ones, when I’m healing. But I’m not such a bad healer. It’s usually due to the tank not knowing proper mechanics.. Or being a death knight. Usually those are really bad.on my shaman i could carry fucking anything no matter the tank’s skill level or gear
but like
motherfucker
put me on my druid and give me a bad blood DK and i’m going to take a long walk off a short pier let me fucking tell u right now
o hey im the opposite
shamans are ???????????
druids are yes for me
Although to be fair if you’re a healer and you can’t keep up a guardian tank in all HoT+ gear
you are shit
just saying
I’m looking at you, BR healers
i started this and im really proud
(ok so I may keep a text file with important images like this one open at all times)
whattheshift: Oh, funny post-patch glitches. Whatever would I do without you.
my dad and sister came home and they went to the salvation army and brought home some chairs and i said “you shouldn’t buy from them because they discriminate gays” and my dad sarcastically replied “well then no gay asses have sat in our chair” and i said “i can change that” and sat in one that is how i accidentally came out to my family
i’m getting a two world of warcraft tattoos
one of alexstrasza and one of sylvanas, on opposite arms. two powerful women, who stand for two very different things- but inspire me equally.
You should also get a teardrop tattoo and call it Jaina.

Let’s be honest here. There are a lot of things in lore that Blizzard doesn’t remember so well, or remember at all. But I need to call attention to one thing that I think Blizzard did completely right.
I’ve never heard someone complaining about the racism inherent to the races of…
I liked the Duskwood worgen quests! They made me cry. And the worgen there were just so perf!
okay duskwood was just perfect i love duskwood i need to quest there again
lol i confused the badlands with the blasted lands again
IT KEEPS HAPPENING

Let’s be honest here. There are a lot of things in lore that Blizzard doesn’t remember so well, or remember at all. But I need to call attention to one thing that I think Blizzard did completely right.
I’ve never heard someone complaining about the racism inherent to the races of World of Warcraft.
What? Is that a problem, you might be wondering? Is Tumblr’s social justice really worked up about WoW races? The answer is no. But that’s surprising to me. If handled badly, for example, the Tauren could have been the equivalent of naming your sports team the Sioux and thereby offending every Lakota and Dakota in the state and nationwide.
The Tauren especially merge extremely small, independent cultures (Tauren have many things in their culture and architecture based off Native Americans, as I’m sure you noticed) together without destroying any of them and without making them silly or trivializing. They put together totems (native to the tribes of the Pacific Northwest all the way up into Alaska) and tipis (native to the plains- the real world’s Mulgore) and created a spirituality that doesn’t offend its own inspiration. The Earth Mother is peaceful and gentle; comparative to the Great Spirit in many Native American myths.
Sadly, the races that have been introduced later than Classic are rather lacking in the serious mythos that is so well done in races such as the Tauren. Blood elves (and their Draenei opposites) especially have been made into joke characters. Goblins as well are used mostly for a “Look, explosives!” joke in a quest line. Worgen have so far fared better, but then again, I haven’t seriously leveled an Alliance in a while.
A tangent on my hopes and thoughts for Mists:
I would hope that unlike those races and more like the earlier mentioned ones, Blizzard handles the Pandaren with care and creates something beautiful in Mists of Pandaria. If it’s handled well, then Pandaren will not be a “weaboo” character, but rather something that takes the best of Asian cultures and merges them together all the while creating something new. At worst, it could be that streaked hair and Caramelldansen are the actual way Pandaren are going to be presented in their own expansion, and those aren’t the silly facets of a serious race the way Tauren names and Blood Elf jokes/flirts often are.Thank for read.
The big issue with the worgen, is just their complete lack of integration into the all after their starting zone. The entire Gilneas situation is resolved in a Horde quest chain, and barley see any worgen for the next 70 levels.
I suppose it could be explained lore-wise as the relative lack of time between the shattering and a lingering mistrust on the both Gilneans and the rest of the Alliance, but given a number of other things (Deathwing’s human model used only in a single quest chain in the blasted lands, DW’s current model used in a cutsene that takes palace in the *past* in WoE) it really seems like Blizzard overextended themselves for Cataclysm.
