actually it’s not a lore discussion

it was never intended as a lore discussion

it was a headcanon post

but y’all showed up late with starbucks to throw canon at and discredit somebody’s fan world building who literally re-wrote the entirety of Burning Crusade because I couldn’t tolerate how garbage it was

who has not given a spare thought to canon azeroth since 2006

and in fact has “fuck canon” in her blog description

but keep on screaming like i give a fuck about this mediocre writing staff and the apologists for it who line up like pigs at the trough to eat up their problematic bullshit like all you can eat night at the golden corral

i do not give a fuck about canon and i do not give a fuck about you

bye

Might I make a suggestion? Because when it showed up on my dash, nothing about it even came remotely close to saying “this is headcanon.” It was about 60+ reblogs removed from the original and made me scratch my head because it was nothing I’d even seen suggested in the game before.

I also don’t generally go to the original blog before reblogging something that shows up on my dash, so…

My suggestion: maybe label it as headcanon next time, like a lot of headcanon posts are (like “headcanon: Sylvanas is actually doing good by helping restless souls find purpose”) instead of hoping people will figure that out for themselves and then getting angry when they don’t after it’s ~60-70+ reblogs removed from the source.

Because, to be frank, shithowdy wasn’t rude in her rebuttal of the headcanon, but you and your friends have been, and over what’s all really just a misunderstanding.

it was an untagged post on my personal blog, in a discussion with 2 of my followers

you can shut the fuck up and so can your simple friend

You seem to be missing a lot of points here.

But okay.

lightandwinged i think OP has a point. most people just post personal shit on their blog and don’t mean for it to get popular.

it’s not their responsibility to tag shit like “headcanon.” If the post is not in the fandom tags, it usually means it isn’t meant to be seen by a lot of people. That doesn’t restrict people from reblogging it, because they can and do, but the thought process by the author at that point is usually like “oh, hey, good, people agree, and all of them know what I am talking about.” Otherwise, they are just reading it out of context, which is, while NOT the reader’s fault, it is CERTAINLY NOT the poster’s responsibility.

i mean personally (if anyone asked for my opinion, which they did not), if I called out the inaccuracies of something, and then the person who made the post was like “no this is a headcanon, it was untagged on my blog” i would jut be like “oh ok sorry, carry on, my bad” and leave them alone.

I would not demand they tag their personal posts the way YOU want them to, especially since to my knowledge you don’t seem to be even following them…?

This is really silly tbh and you need to settle down. Your response to this came off as ultra condescending when read over text and I’d probably have a similar reaction if it was in regards to me. 

This is tumblr; you have to assume that your post may not be seen by the intended audience. If you do not want people commenting on it, you really should not post it.

yeah and uh

none of that raising people against their goddamn will

Sylvanas raises souls that are restless and can’t move on for whatever reason

they’re the only ones that actually can be pulled back

they’re stuck, mired in pain, unfinished business, whatever

she gives them a choice: stay stuck or come find a purpose with me. you’ll get to stab things and set them on fire~~ <3

you want a “Lich Queen” comparison to make? it’s Bolvar, not Arthas.

she takes them on because no one else wants them. the way no one else wanted her or cared about her pain or grief or rage. the living don’t give a tenth of a fuck about them. there’s no joy in this curse, as she says. but she offers them a place. the choice she never had, to quote another undead person I like a lot. 

Ah, yes, the starter zone dilemma. You’re either gung-ho about it, or slaughtered for dissent.

‘If the Dark Lady has given me this gift then I will gladly serve’

But I’m sorry, have you done the Silverpine quests?

Where she and Agatha (and the player) raise Alliance humans that were just fighting against her minutes beforehand, and yet are suddenly loyal servants?

You can’t convince me with uncited reasoning regarding “restless souls” that there’s not some level of influence there- people don’t just flop sides like that shouting, “For the Dark Lady!” when they were actively fleeing from her minutes before. The best theory for this is regarding the fact that Forsaken suffer a huge severance from a lot of their more positive and human emotions and are kind of demented and malleable when they’re risen, which is in and of itself hardly anything resembling “free will”.

It doesn’t matter if they actively choose to side with her; their minds are no longer stable. She’s still raising undead.

There is no joy in this curse, and yet she casts it upon them anyway. She refers to these people as arrows in her quiver. She doesn’t give a fuck about them. The original forsaken? Yes, she took them on because they were cast aside, and her cause was more noble- give them a home. But it’s about conquest now. Making more arrows for her quiver. The choice offered is a flimsy one, and has a wobbly possibility of free will at best when you consider the circumstances. It’s not like she personally goes into the afterlife and interviews spirits and kindly asks them, “Would you like to come back and fight for my people? No? Well, okay, rest in peace.”

op was (correct me if i’m wrong ofc) pretty clearly making a canon-divergent headcanon based more in “this would be cooler/more interesting to me than whats in canon now” so there’s really no need to be so aggressively pedantic imo

yeah. bisho was speaking of our mutual headcanon.

shithowdy is an ignoramus who cannot be bothered to read. they’re more interested in crying about the game as if Sylvanas is an actual person, and as if Dave Kosak’s writing isn’t made of failure.

shithowdy, no one is going to give you treats for being a ninnyhammer, and blizzard is never going to care how much you defend their issueladen obnoxious uncreative work. but then—this is tpyical for you, isn’t it? i’ve seen you making an utter joke of yourself more than once before and it’s becoming embarrassing to watch.

And now you’ve gone and made a complete joke of yourself again. congrats? i mean…i know you probably wanted to provoke some kind of flamewar because you’ve made some nasty rude judgmenet about my partner and you think you should be allowed to be rude ebcause wwwaaaaahhhh. that’s not uncommon for dense people like you to do. or maybe  you wanted to get into a “debate” (pro tip: you’re not debating, you’re being shrill and annoying) when you can’t even get the facts of the starting zone right, or comprehend that kosak’s execrable little fanfic was an annoying, misogynist hunk of poorly-written retcon?

do you ever engage your brain before opening your mouth? i’d guess not.

you should probably run along before you embarrass yourself even more. i mean. really. do you have any idea how you look? “WAH FROTH PISS I WILL BAREG IN ON THIS POST ABOUT FANON AND BEGIN SCREAMING ANGRILY AND RAGING ABOUT THE GAME AS IF THAT MEANS A DAMN THING! UNFGH GRUNT SHART.”

of course, you’re certainly free to continue your temper-tantrum. you’re also free to keep pretending Sylvanas is a person who EXISTS and not a pixel-character whose actions are dictated by programmers. you’re definitely free to keep wading in way out of your depth, not bothering to read things properly, and keep humiliating yourself. 

it’s your choice. <3

Wow. You need to get up, remove the stick from your ass and then sit back down.
