Caster Kisame? Him complaining about how he’s not really the brainy type but still tries his best casting Runic magic? And kinda talks about how he misses Samehada and is jealous of his Saber/Lily/Berserker counterparts having it? Yes please :))))))))))))))))))))))
choo choo guess who’s jumping on the Lightforged train.
This is Tahnkarra! Aka Tank, for obvious reasons. She’s an enormous Lightforged who’s also the leader of a small Lightforged squadron called The Sharded Light, featuring @pyrosophist, @turalyon, @delphinxte and @they-goggles! We’re RPing them as a small elite group of Lightforged whose new mission is to explore/defend the rest of Azeroth in the wake of the Burning Legion.
Tahnkarra is the squad leader (despite @turalyon coming up with the Lightforged idea first) just because she’s the paladin tank. Eventually I’m going to design her armor/weapons, and it’s going to be stained-glass themed with a giant flail mace to match her flail-tail B) .
The reason she’s not white like Lightforged models are is because I think it’s dumb af to have a race “imbued” by the Light only be light skinned but that’s getting into the politics of darkness and hooOOO BOY.
I’ve mentioned my favorite art history professor to @systlin a few times, but there’s one story of him that stays with me. So for you, Plant Aunt, I’ve crafted a tale of one immortal spitefully making sure another immortal finally gets his:
The running joke among David’s students is that our beloved professor is clearly an immortal. How else could we explain his small office crammed with illuminated manuscripts, Scythian and Mongolian bows, 3rd cent. Roman gladii, near-Eastern rugs and ancient swords? The way he sighed wistfully in class and told us how beautiful the Parthenon was when it was new and, “not just a damn tourist attraction”? It wasn’t uncommon for us to see him hefting a sword over his shoulder, leather trench coat flapping in the wind, flipping off the head of security who really should have stopped trying by now.
It was also a running joke that our favorite immortal just did not get technology. I worked at our Help Desk for all four years of college, and David would always request one of his students to come and fix his computer.
“This computer isn’t fast enough,” he told me once, polishing an enameled chalice. Google maps was still loading on the page, trying to parse the coordinates he entered. It was likely looking ten centuries too late. “It needs more of that RAM. Really. I could be soaring over ancient Rome like a bird!”
After repeat requests, he got a brand-new Macbook Pro, which he promptly abandoned for his antique slide projector.
“I just don’t get the new technology,” he shrugged. “You can’t get the feel of things.”
That was the only sentiment he shared with his nemesis.
