No, you’re not my muse anymore. In fact, you are the anti-muse. Whenever I get a neat idea (like this SMC Academy thing I’ve been wanting to work on), you come out of nowhere with your bipolar shit and completely ruin it. I took screenshots for the next page, and now I can’t even bring myself to do it because of what you’ve said about me.

Maybe you are going through a hard time, but claiming I am your only friend or your best friend is ludicrous. You have plenty of people to talk to, including your family, but are too dense to realize it. I have held your hand for too long, and gotten it almost bitten off one too many times. Especially in the last couple of days. I am not a saint, I am merely human, and if you think you can insult me publically, telling obvious lies about me, then expect me to cradle your head while you cry, then you have a very warped sense of humanity. All you are concerned with is yourself, and are completely blind to the plight of others — most of it inflicted by you, in this case.

You say you want answers, but you just aren’t listening. I have given them to you, but they fall on deaf ears because you are so neurotic and set in your way of thinking, you refuse to listen to them. You are a mean, mean person, going to the lengths of blackmailing your “best friend” just so I will speak to you in your “time of need.” You have cried wolf so many times, I no longer believe you when something serious does arise.

I’m sick of dealing with you. I just want to drop off the face of the earth sometimes, with the things you say to me and how you constantly hound me. I don’t know why you don’t understand that. I smashed my phone, I was so frustrated. I have yelled at you, I have asked you nicely, I have ignored you on every medium available to you for contact, yet you still persist.

Please just stop. You have friends. Talk to them instead of someone who wants to take a restraining order out against you.

I’ve always had pet projects, something going on on the side. For the last month and a half, I’ve been wondering what Sveta and S’win would have been like in their “high school” days. Both went to the Silvermoon City Academy, so… why not have them be roommates or something?

First I worked just in my head. Then I bought some kind of Manga drawing program for like $30. Took a day to try and figure it out, and instead of making it easier than drawing manga in photoshop, it was actually a bigger hassle. So I gave up on that. There’s a few doodles in my Scraps on DA though…

And now… I’ve figured out that I can use my FFXI AltanaView models and combine them with my WoW Model Viewer models to make something that sort of looks decent (like the lovely ladies on the right).

So now comes the question… to comic or not to comic? On one hand, I am damn excited about it. On the other, I never exactly got that far with all my other “model viewer comic” ideas. The Strawberrie / Madmartigan one only got through 3 pages. And I had a pretty neat storyline worked out. Just so much effort.

And when Wrath of the Lich King comes out, will I even have enough time to poke around with it?

We’ll see…

This is a roleplaying entry, and most likely a lengthy read. See full post at your own risk! (The mail is written by Ash, everything else by me.)

Checking her mail early in the morning, S’win finds something strange this time among the tax notices and hate mail: it is a letter from something claiming to be “The Balance.”

S’win Belzevuthe,

We know the Vanguard has fallen about from under Roland Belzevuthe and we know he will leave Silvermoon City to head north with the Banshee Queen’s crusade on Icecrown Citadel.

We know that he will keep his word to you and Kalec and rescue Aveena and restore the Sunwell to our city so we can move on now that the Sunstrider line is gone.

What you don’t know is that Roland is going to Northrend to find a cure for the Forsaken. The Lich King must be defeated at all costs, but a cure must not be found.

Usually, one man going alone after the Lich King would seem trite and not worthy of our attention; however, Roland and yourself liberated Karabor and he and you might actually release Azeroth from the grip of Arthas as well.

Of course, you could simply ignore this letter. What proof have we? Yet The Balance knows things. The ruins of Naxxramas that linger over your homelands will move to Northrend soon. That shall be your proof and we will contact you again.

May the gates of Quel’Thalas be open to you.

– The Balance

S’win reads the letter twice before flipping over the envelope. There is no return address anywhere. Curious. Her sometimes much too simple mind would just as soon discard this along with the envelopes containing severed fingers of her old allies held for ransom. Yet one thing catches her attention, and it’s the claim that her dear Roland is going to look for a cure again. Read more

Happy Halloween to everyone from Tarunation!

Patch 3.0 is finally out, and so are achievements. And I’ve been working rather hard. Thankfully, I’m in a guild that works equally hard. Within the first day, we had done Onyxia’s Lair and Zul’Gurub for the Classic Raider achievements. In the days to follow we managed to do Molten Core, Blackwing Lair, and Ahn’Quiraj 20 and 40 man raids. I have now completely finished all the “old-world” raids and gotten credit for them in my Achievements!

I even got to do Leeeeeeeroy! You know… kill 50 rookery whelps within 15 seconds to earn the title “Jenkins.” Even FFXI players know who Leroy Jenkins was. And now I can be a Jenkins too. Of course, I think it’s extremely tacky, since even the noob LV 65’s are running around with it and screaming ‘Leeeeroy’ like they’re 15 (which most of them probably are). So I’m sticking to “Hand of A’dal” title until I find something better.

While most dungeons looked kind of… plain, there were a few rooms that really took my breath away. I wish I rememberd to take more screenshots, but I was really enthralled with all of this old content. That room above is from Blackwing Lair, I believe. So morbid…

I even got one of the many Ahn’Quiraji mounts that dropped in the 40man instance. Of course, you can only ride them inside the dungeon — and trust me, you need to, the damn place is huuuuge — but they are still cool.

And now all I need for Outland Raider is Kil’jaeden. :B

That’s right. I managed to farm up 50 unique novelty pets to get the achievement [Shop Smart. Shop Pet… Smart]! Then, Breanni sent me a baby skunk in the mail! Isn’t he adorable?
