okay so with the commander’s established love for cats as they literally pick cats up off the street from all over the continent and take them home, it made me start thinking, like… all of the home instances are public areas. For Asura, it’s a lab, Sylvari have a garden, humans just have a fucking part of town, charr have their barracks, and the norn have a public living space.
the commander doesnt have a house or anything.
They are just finding cats and setting them loose in a public space.
they bring lots of shit actually but the cats are the funniest part to me. theyre bringing home stray cats left and right and nobody can question them because theyre the fucking commander
edit: 34 btw. 34 cats

My guardian Erris on her path of learning the elite specs.
It is sad that we will not have any new elite specs. This concept really is rich for building evolving charaters.

Rambling a Commander theory again...
One thing I consistently noticed throughout the story is that whenever we're put into a "worst fear" situation with the dragons or demons, while Dragon's Watch tend to be manipulated on the topic people they've hurt/lost (Jormag messing with Braham about his guildmates, or in Mordremoth's mind when we confront his mother for example.)
But the Commander always faces themselves. This happens repeatedly in the story. Now I imagine that it's a writer's technique that they don't want to tell the player what THEIR commander is traumatized/troubled about so using a "fight your worst self" is a pretty safe bet from a writer's viewpoint to remain neutral enough that it can be built on in RP but strong enough that it makes sense for the story.
But I like to think it runs deeper than that, that this genuinely is their worst fear. That they fear what they're becoming, what they're growing into. It's brought up a few times in attempts to manipulate the Commander that they don't care about their friends. Which of course isn't true, but as a fear? I could absolutely see the Commander being afraid of losing themselves in their attempts at saving the world, that they forget how to be close to people and feel like they can no longer relate to anyone because they've just been through so. damn. much.
Eir in Gyala Delve, as well as Almorra, back this up to me. They could have gone the angle of "you were too late" or "there was more they could have done" to hurt the Commander but they BOTH said similar things to them; "I was nothing to you/You don't care that these people love you."
So it keeps coming back as a manifest, there's no one event that haunts the Commander in particular, it's what these events threaten to turn them into that they're so scared of. So whenever an enemy wants to manipulate them, the best go-to is to fight the worst version of themselves because that's what they truly fear.
Because maybe on some levels, it's true. Maybe buried deep down, the Commander is struggling to relate to the common man because after the dragons and a god, how can you go back to small talk? Maybe the Commander is suffering from compassion fatigue deep down and finding it hard to care about the smaller things now. Maybe they are as chaotic as people say, and they just don't see it anymore because the traumas of war have just all blended it together.
What if the worst version of them DOES exist, just under the surface?

also, stealing this community prompt for sure, bc it's so neat but.
gw2 community prompt: what is your commander's defining feature? their stature, their fashion sense, their physical appearance, their scars, freckles? what is their signature sign, in terms of physical appearance?

When Aurene was little, I played games with her. Taught her how to hunt…
I'm so happy SoTO canonised the Commander spending time with Aurene outside of story chapters. This line made me feel so many things

Loving the collective belief that, instead of 'consumable' as in the item will disappear from your inventory, it's 'consumable' as in the Commander will eat it.
Dragon Crystals? Eating it
Essence of Luck? Eating it
Tomes? Book is being eaten
Sharpening stones? Fuck yeah they're eating that too
That fucking rotting boar meat? Why the fuck not!

no idea if it's legible, i'll put the cut versions under a read more and some thoughts HoT, the expansion you are...

Big fan of how much suspense and wonder and dread that part of story still gives me if i start thinking about it for more than 5 seconds. Didn't have the will to do it but... imagine mordremoth with bug eyes ok? Multitude of reflection of the commander in that one eye, it sees you and you cant' escape. Eye motif, my beloved..
Vines guide the eye of the viewer, constricting, clutching in a snare and...well... we know even the commander failed to resist for a few moments. I'm not that great at comics but i wanted to show at least this one <3
