Hmm. Personally, I don't hate the performance. Doesn't have the same gravel, but it's not bad. I honestly thought they had changed the VA before with some of the more recent stuff, but that may have been a recording equipment thing.

The VA for Male Imperial Agent has been recast.

Here's a short sample of the new VA

Does anyone else sometimes get irked when they see people hating on a character you like?

Been seeing that recently for various fandoms and I'm just like: "Don't say anything Strata...they're allowed to not like a character. It doesn't hurt you, don't let it affect you. You really dislike Zenos, but there are a ton of people who would climb that psycho like he was a tree--even if you don't understand why...Let people like and hate things. Don't say anything and cause drama."

-sigh-

Anyways, I just want to see if it's just me. I'm a bit odd and sometimes take things a bit to personally. Trying to figure out if this is one of those things.

Although it does seem like the consensus for Skadge (swtor) is the same all around. Kill him when you get the chance. lol

“You, Hyur, your presence is requested,” declared an Oronir guard. From their tone, one could heavily imply the ‘hyur’ did not have a choice to say no to said ‘request.’ Upon the announcement, Hien opened his eyes and glanced from the guard to Lyse before looking back with a shite-eating grin.

“Which Hyur?” he asked cheekily.

The xaela guard was less than amused, even more so when Lyse giggled from her spot on the bed.

“You, the male one,” the Oronir replied, annoyance clear as he scowled at them, “Khan Daidukul has requested your presence for the evening.”

Work contains headcanon lore for Xaela, the Buduga Tribe, and background for Daidukul.

So I was feeling a bit nostalgic and decided to read an slightly older fic of mine. This one took me WAY fucking to long to complete, a good year and a half. Mostly because I kept going back and editing what I wrote instead of writing more for it. lol I’m still super proud of it. :3

I know I've been poked twice for the song game for the username thing...I'm just not a music person. I'd want to do songs that represented me, and I just listen to stuff I think sounds cool to me. Also, my username isn't the one I use anymore, so I'd be breaking the rules if I did.

Sorry, I'm lame. >.<

So I was hit with a bit of inspiration for Doc...no particular reason at all...-cough cough- ------------------------------------- Doc poked his head into the Kai’raan’s room.

“Hey, I’m about to head out for some drinks and…” Doc stopped and tilted his head as he looked at the Jedi master sitting in his chair, reading something from his datapad. It wasn’t the fact that he was reading that made him pause, it was the look upon the other man’s face that did. “Everything alright, Kai?”

Crimson eyes blinked a few times before they looked up at him in bemusement. “Yes, why do you ask?”

“Well, you look like someone’s kicked your akk puppy,” the medic said as he leaned against the doorway, jacket hung over his crossed arms.

“It’s nothing, really,” the Jedi tried to say before Doc snorted.

“Right, sure…you know you’re lying to someone who knows everyone’s tell in sabbak on this ship, right?” the older man asked, raising an eyebrow, “That includes Lord Stick Up His Ass.”

He motioned if he could enter the room, and did so when he received a nod from Kai’raan. 

The Jedi knight seemed to hesitate in his reply, looking away before looking back at the datapad. “I…I just feel…lonely, I suppose.”

“Lonely, hmm?” Doc tilted his head slightly, puzzling over that as he took a seat at the end of Kai’raan’s bed. “I’m going to take a wild guess and say you’re not lonely in the friendship department, but the romantic one?”

Doc knew he hit the nail on the head when the Jedi’s cheeks turned a stunning shade of purple.

“I’m taking that as a yes,” he chuckled softly. Pulling up a leg so his ankle rested on his knee, he planted his elbow on the other and leaned forward on it. “Why not take Kira up on her offer then?”

The scrunched nose that Kai’raan made was rather adorable, Doc had to admit.

“Besides the fact that she was my student for a time,” Kai’raan started to say, setting down the datapad and leaning back in his comfy chair, “She’s not my type.”

“Too much sass?” the medic asked with a shit eating grin.

“No, I like sass,” the other man laughed, “I don’t find women attractive, Doc.”

That statement had the medic blink rapidly in surprise. He hadn’t expected that. Then again, he had no other way of knowing, what with his friend being a Jedi and all…wait. He paused and thought back to all his interactions with the knight. Kai’raan always seemed friendly enough, but now that he really thought about it…he was also flirty. 

Doc rubbed the bridge of his nose. Kirffing void, how did he miss this!?

“Wait…were you…have you…wait…”

“Did I just render you speechless, Archiban?” Kai’raan chuckled, sounding very much amused.

“Shut it,” Doc pouted. He was annoyed, but more so about his name being used than the teasing, “And excuse me if I’m a bit rusty with telling when a gorgeous man is flirting with me!”

He felt rather smug in the shocked expression he received for that.

“Uh, w-what?”

“What, what?” Doc asked, tilting his head, “Where’d I lose you?”

“What do you mean rusty?” Kai’raan replied with a question, brow furrowing.

“Well, it’s been a while since I’ve had a guy flirt with me…” he trailed off when he realized why the Jedi was so confused. A soft laugh escaped him as he said. “I know I’m a ladies man, Kai, but I do like both women and men.”

He felt more than a bit amused as the realization of his statement clicked for the Chiss. Had he mentioned how adorable Kai’raan’s facial expressions were? He had? Well, he was going to repeat himself.

Fucking adorable.

“I will always appreciate a good looking man…and maybe more, depending on his own preference,” he explained further, resting his chin on his hand. “I’ve just gotten rusty at picking up on them flirting with me…unless I’m wrong.”

“Not wrong,” the Chiss Jedi said, blush came back tenfold. “I was flirting…but backed down when I realized, or at least thought, you were politely ignoring it…”

“Not polite, just stupid,” Doc snickered, “Like I said, rusty.”

“Apparently,” Kai’raan chuckled, he looked off to the side with a soft smile, “I can’t say I’m much better…but I believe it’s more inexperienced than rust.”

“Which is fair, all things considered,” the medic said, “I doubt the Order has a 101 class on flirting or anything of the sort.”

“No, no they do not,” the battlemaster said quietly. He sighed and shook his head, closing his eyes. The next thing the Jedi said was spoken so softly Doc almost missed it. “Don’t know why I want to find someone to be with.”

“Because it’s a perfectly human thing to want,” Doc said, shrugging when the other man looked up at him in surprise. “Really good hearing for a Human,” he said by way of explanation. “And people weren't really meant to be alone--well, most people anyways. We crave contact and connection, be it just as friends, a full blown relationship, or even a one night stand.”

He stood from his spot with a soft grunt, stretching his arms over his head.

“Not even Jedi cut themselves out completely, as much as they say they do,” he continued. Walking over to the knight, he held out his hand. “Come on, you need to get out of this ship and live a little. Let’s go have a few drinks--on me.”

Kai’raan blinked a few times before a small smile formed across his lips. When he took the offered hand, Doc helped pull him up with a wide grin.

“Now, let's see if we can find you a cute young man for the evening.”

Kai’raan laughed and shook his head. “Doc…no.”

“Fine, how about a ruggedly handsome medic for the evening?” 

Said medic swore the knight’s eyebrows hit his hairline.

------------------------------------ This is a bit of headcannon for me that Doc is Bi with a heavy leaning towards women. With men, he definitely flirts and appreciates, but for something more there needs to be more there for him. He and Kai'raan stay friends (especially see Kai'raan becomes Kai'shan at some point -wink wink-). But I see him as a good support person for Kai. :)

So IDK why your Sylvari headcanon post has no notes because it's really interesting.

Do you think there is even a need for gender in a race that can't reproduce?

Do you have a headcanon for why the Pale Tree even designed them that way?

Hey! Thanks for taking an interest in my silly headcanon!

Hmm, not really sure how to answer that first question. I know Sylvari forms are based off of the Pale Tree's knowledge of Ronan and human biology. And unless otherwise stated, I kind of stick with that. Gender is a social construct, so for me it makes sense that the Pale Tree formed Sylvari into humanoid forms that take on more feminine or masculine features. They're going to be dealing with the other races and having a form people could relate more too probably helps. Plus, I see Sylvari as being very social.

Hmm, perhaps they actually start out more androgynous then start to change their appearance to match who they are and their own likings. Not sure if I'll put that in my own headcanon or not, but there it is if anyone wants to play off the idea. lol In all honesty, I really don't equate gender to reproduction. There are plenty of men, women and non-binary people out there who are unable to reproduce but that doesn't make them any less of a man, woman, or person. For the second question, I do not really have a separate headcanon for that. As stated above, I stick with what we do know--the Pale Tree's knowledge of humans. There was an interesting theory about her being planted on top of a human burial site making her more akin to a blighting tree, but that was just a theory someone wrote...somewhere. Probably reddit. However, with the fact there is at least one other Tree we know about (and one ArenaNet never brought up during Heart of Thorn! -shakes fist-) the whole thing with Ronan can be called into question.

One Night Stand Prompts

by creativepromptsforwriting | do not repost

Person A is not a kiss and tell kind of person, so their friends start to think that they have been alone for way too long now and set them up with Person B. What the friends don’t know is that they both already know each other – intimately.

It was supposed to be a one night stand. Then it became a second night. A third - and suddenly they realized that they had never left.

Person A normally does not go out to clubs. They normally don't accept drinks from strangers or dance with them. And they normally do not go home with them.

Remembering every last inch on Person B's body is not a weird thing, just because they only hooked up that one time. They had just been very thorough. And now the memories are haunting them. In the best way.

Person A's last one night stand ended with a misunderstanding and a lot of awkwardness. To cheer them up again, their friends set them up with a blind date. They meant well, it’s not their fault that it’s the person they had previously slept with.

Person A's friends are obsessed with setting them up with blind dates, and A knows they mean well, but they are just not interested in dating, so they just ask their last blind date and one night stand, Person B, to fake date them, so A's friends stop setting them up.

Can you still call it a one night stand if they actually already had one years ago?

Person A had never had a one night stand before, so they don't know what the correct etiquette is. They are currently bringing breakfast to Person B, who is still in bed, because that's the polite thing to do, right?

What is the worst thing that can happen when you have someone in your bed that you just had an amazing night with? Your parents deciding to pay you a visit, who are just so excited to meet your new partner.

Person A and Person B are in a committed relationship and very happy. So happy that they decide adding a third person for just one night won't change anything.

"Would you let me take care of this for you?" - whoever you've thought of most recently among your ocs

So this is WIP of sort, although was 100% started because of this ask. lol My GW2 pair has been on my mind recently, even though I'm pretty certain no one else cares for them--either that or the fanfic community for GW2 is very small. In any case, here's what I've written so far!

--------------------------------------

A frustrated sigh escaped Rhetton’s lips when his lover batted his hands away from the armor piece he was trying to remove. Those same hands then took over, carefully peeling the gauntlet off. “Canach, I can undress myself…” the former commander trailed off when amethyst eyes glared daggers at him. Wincing, he turned his head away, knowing full well the look was warranted…. ...because he once again ran off head-first into danger, causing the older man to worry over his safety.

It really didn’t help that he had nearly gotten himself cut in two by an enraged Ascended chasing after the refugees trying to flee. Rhetton had stepped in to help but was injured in the process. He could clearly remember the panicked look on Canach’s face--even from under that helmet of his--as an Agent named Kossian dragged him back to the Order of Secret’s outpost where his friends were. Thankfully, he had sustained only minor injuries--just a couple of bruises and scrapes…and the rather long and bleeding slash across his chest. Unfortunately, there was nothing he could do to hide the blatantly obvious injury from his partner. Not that it would have been a secret long, especially with Canach dead set on looking him over.  The older sylvari had practically thrown Rhetton over his shoulder to get him to a healer--much to the amusement of the man already helping him. While Rhetton found the action endearing, he knew he scared the shit out of the warrior…again. “Would you just…” Canach started to say, pulling the engineer’s attention back before he shook his head and sighed. “Never mind.” “No, Nach, don’t ‘never mind’ me,” Rhetton said, stopping the warrior’s hands from peeling him out of his sylvarin armor. He held them and squeezed lightly. “Talk to me.” A long silence followed before Canach sighed again, leaning in to press his forehead against Rhetton’s chest. “Would you just let me take care of this for you?” he asked quietly. “I’m aware I’d never be able to stop you from stepping into danger. You’re too much of a good person to just stand aside and do nothing--especially when you know you can help. All I ask is when you do, at least allow me to take care of you in the aftermath.” Rhetton could not keep the smile from his face, even if he wanted to. Pulling the older man closer, he wrapped him up in his arms and hugged him tightly. “I can do that…although you may need to remind me some days,” he chuckled softly, “I do tend to have an issue knowing when to rest.” The soft laughter that left Canach was deep and rich. “Yes, dearheart, I am well aware of that issue of yours.” Rhetton scrunched his nose at the endearment. “I take it dearheart is not to your liking?” the warrior grinned. “It is not…heard Foalin call Caithe that far too much,” Rhetton replied, “It’s rather ruined for me.” “Hmm, understandable,” Canach said thoughtfully, rubbing his chin, “I’ll work on coming up with something else.”

Sylvari Headcanons

Headcanon 1: So, as a race, I believe all sylvari are able to change their appearance to suit who they become once they awake from the Dream. And not just features like hair and clothes, but facial features, eye color, bark/petal/skin color, voice, gender...EVERYTHING. They're living sentient beings made of compacted plant matter that bleed golden sap and are born fully grown, so it doesn't feel like it's out of the realm of possibilities. When they do want to make more drastic changes, I envision them creating some sort of pod where they slumber while the changes are made. It would take a few hours for smaller changes and a couple of days for larger or more complicated ones. I was rather inspired by Canach's transformation from boy band member to heavy metal drummer. Although I just read a lovely post from someone about him being a hawthorn tree, it fits him rather well!

Headcanon 2: This one concerns their lifespan. I believe sylvari are ageless. Because they don't age like the other races, there's a good chance a sylvari could live for thousands of years—as long as something doesn't come along and kill them (or they get themselves killed).

Headcanon 3: It's not safe for work (NSFW) because it deals with their anatomy—more specifically, the lower bits of most male sylvari... >.>

Their dicks, I'm talking about their dicks. Yes, I'm a bit of a weirdo...-sigh- Anyway, yeah, they have non-human-looking genitalia. It's mostly the fact that they store those bits inside themselves until they're aroused. As for the penis (...why does that word feel dirtier than dick or cock... >.>), I don't know...I'm leaning toward something similar to humans but slightly different- ribbed, maybe. Definitely, nothing you'd find on Bad Dragon or a specialty site. =P

Again, yes, I'm weird.

Well....I'm going to go hide now.

Hawthorn

I am the first to affectionately call Canach a cactus - and it is fitting! both physically and in terms of his prickly character - BUT! Allow me to bring forth an alternative! Canach is not a cactus. He is a hawthorn.

As a sapling, Canach arboured light green bark, and white leaves / petals, his features remarkably devoid of thorns.

Come a few years and a few hardship, and there's Canach as we now know him, his bark turned dark grey and quite a few thorns marring his features.

And now for the comparison. Hawthorn.

As for how far as the comparison goes...

Hawthorns are shrubs, or small trees.

Their bark is dull brown with vertical orange cracks.

The name itself is derived from the anglo-saxon word 'haguthorn' meaning "wall of thorns". "The bramble walls were a stroke of genius. If I do say so myself."

And as for the symbolism of hawthorn, they are associated with protection and isolation, thriving in defensive, thorny hedges, and as solitary trees, with love and renewal, blooming in may, and with death.

#gw2 #guild wars 2 #canach #sylvari #hawthorn #ooh that does fit rather well #also the symbolism works well with hawthorn from destiny 2
