Now imaging Anduin sipping a Dr. Pepper planning all the ways he’s going to be a little shit today
This gave me the image of modern day anduin sitting at the breakfast table with a laptop and a 20 oz dr pepper. With Varian shuffling by in a dark blue bathroom and a mug of coffee, looking like he’s about to go kill something because it’s morning.
Every time I see you, young prince, you are either in the process of being a little shit, about to be a little shit, or have just been a little shit.
I refuse to believe this isn’t premeditated.
Oh, you leave the prince be. He’s a prince, of course he’s a little shit.
I defer to the expert…
»suggestion that the more piercings an elf has, the more promiscuous
»glances at Cas
Yeah I kinda chuckled at that and thought of Reme like…
the last time I did the counting for his piercings he has over 30. XD
o__o That’s a lot of piercings.
“Reme likes wha’ Reme likes…?”
*side-eyes Van and Vae* God you both look like prudes compared to the rest of them…
(You should see An’belor. He’s got a real problem with anyone with an addiction (you know, like the entirety of blood elf society), but he himself is addicted to pain, so he’s covered in tattoos and piercings. He has 25 in his ears alone.)
I’m trying to think here..
Varaelian: 7 peircings, 4 on his right ear and 3 on the left. No other known piercings, but he does have several tattoos. 4 on his back, 2 on his chest, one at his neck, one above his eye and one on his leg.
Vaelios: 4 piercings, all high up on his ears. He had runic tattoos that extend completely across his beck, up his shoulders, down his arms and legs, though usually invisible.
Yes, yes… YES! The entire addiction to some types of pain — that is one way that Reme copes with many mental and emotional issues; oddly enough that were tied to and revolve around his past sexual encounters and former promiscuity, as well as bad relationships, and a smaller method he leans on to treat the fel addiction. The tattoos and piercings ARE for appearance purposes as well, but their main function (at least for him) is feeding his addiction for pain — and oddly enough (due to his training as a rogue-captain, and undergoing various methods to accustom his body to different types of torture so he doesn’t give in and leak important information) he has a very high tolerance for pain, so there are some times when getting a new piercing or tattoo doesn’t quite cut it anymore… and he’s had to seek other ways to sate that addiction without resorting to hurting others.
I love all of this *A*
(Sorry dime! We sort of kidnapped your thread.)
Most of Varaelian’s tattoos aren’t even wanted. The one at his neck is more of a scar than tattoo. It was given to him when he was an infant, but grew with him as he grew up. It was a sort of promise or reminder to his parents of what sort of sacrifice they would have to make when Van got old enough. It’s in the shape of a clawed hand. It’s also to ward from harm and keep him safe, but he hates it and hides it. (Notice that he’s ALWAYS in a collared shirt?)
He had a very low tolerance for pain but I’m going to assume getting a facial tattoo above his left eye wasn’t easy to swallow either. Most of the ones he got were against his will.
They did help with that pain tolerance issue though..
Aargh
I was looking for that audio post from yesterday about the music that only plays in the Temple of the White Tiger, and it’s missing.
I actually think i found it on the album (Track 5: Way of the Monk) but now I can’t compare.

Now imaging Anduin sipping a Dr. Pepper planning all the ways he’s going to be a little shit today
I plan being a little shit, now? Hm. That’s news to me.
…Just because I think ahead on what to argue with Wrathion about doesn’t mean I plan how to be a “little shit”We only pick on you because we care. At least that’s my reasoning. Not sure what Barks’ is…
This exactly, one of the signs I consider anyone a friend is mercilessly harassing them. (Tev would never admit to this. Or understand that this would be a thing to admit in the first place, really.)

In a discussion on taxes, I just linked my co-worker the Human ending of WCIII (You know, the one with Arthas.) His response: “i believe i have seen this”
you had better have seen this
or I am going to ban you from my office

Kael’s Daily Sin’dorei Society Lecture – Ears and Piercings
This is all very excellent. I wanted to bring up a question if I may:
If Elvish ears are so sensitive, would they be able to also pick up the voices of the dead? I had a theory that came to mind for a relatively short amount of time. If an elf goes blind for instance and the other senses are enhanced to compensate for the loss, would the sensitivity of sound be amplified to the point where one could effectively hear the sounds of the dead?
It would be the ghosts that linger and the ambiance of the woods around them moaning for the long departed. But not just the dead. It would be memories embedded into the world around them. Scenes that have long since played out, but remain because the energy or emotion around them was so strong.
Would they be able to hear even that?
*cringes*
That isn’t something that we usually talk about… Most try to ignore it, but…
Well, when we sing to the trees, sometimes, they sing back.
Tevruden told me we need some feels and canon images; he won’t touch this one with a 10 foot pole, so here’s some Koltira holding his ears because of a bunch of undead spirits:
*Barkentin quickly runs off*
gOD ;A;
where does that image come from?
(Thank you, Barkentin, I was going to point that one out but I couldn’t find it anywhere and didn’t want to scan the book.
It’s from the Warcraft Death Knight manga.)
I assume it would for Death Knights since they’re already dead (sort of?) and communion with the departed would be rather easy.
But for the living, this would be even more torturous since they wouldn’t understand why this is happening, or why they would suddenly be able to see or hear them.
(That was an excellent chapter too.)
In the corresponding Dragonblight(?) quest, Arthas mentions that this is something that all death knights suffer from (and that Arthas kept them at bay.)
The panel before that one mentions that blood elves are especially attuned to it.
