#everyone goes on about how the charr triumphed and it's like ... they attempted total conquest of ascalon orr and kryta

[anghraine]

I am pretty hypocritical in my GW2 annoyances, in all honesty.

I was super irritated the other day by some guy ranting about how humans and the human gods were the worst thing that ever happened to the world in-story Because Lore (but a very, hmm, slanted perspective on the lore). Someone actually pointed out that the goddess Kormir became a god by basically saving the world and the dude reverted back to ranting about Kormir stealing the glory from the players blahblah and ffs it's 2023 and somehow Kormir Stealing the Glory discourse from 2006 is still a thing.

Now, do I cherish my eternal grudge over the thousands of civilians massacred in the Searing and in the consequent invasion, from the game released a year earlier? Well, yes.

IDK!! Trahearne discourse was just Kormir discourse 2.0 with less misogyny, but getting original flavor is just ... let her go, she's fine, she did her best and game mechanics aren't her fault. But I am solidly on team never forgive, never forget about the Searing and the invasion.

#the forever incomplete invasion though #everyone goes on about how the charr triumphed and it's like ... they attempted total conquest of ascalon orr and kryta #and a) they spent 250 years trying to eradicate the ascalonian people from ascalon and nope! human ascalon survives in ebonhawke #b) orr? nope. c) kryta? nope. #so at least there's that consolation #but my grudge is still eternal! #tumblr keeps recommending charr stanning tags to me and i'm '.........' #but i don't get the kormir thing. she was cool. hope she's having a good time being a god #anghraine babbles #ascalonian grudgeblog #anghraine's gaming #anghraine rants #guild wars: nightfall #gw1
