Sometimes I feel like those few years in the late 90s where I hyper-fixated on meteorology and learned about extreme weather, wind currents, and the North American jet stream in my free time wasn't a common experience...

I'm trying to come up with a joke about Theseus and I keep replacing parts of it, but it ultimately comes out the same.
I'm trying to come up with a joke about Athena but something else keeps coming out of my head fully formed.
Exaaaaactly. That or strafing side to side really quick in front of one another.
Love is real and it's two strangers in an MMO jumping up and down.
It took six years, but I've befriended the otter spirit (completed the Significant Otter achievement from Icebrood Saga: Episode 5—"Jormag Rising"). 👀✨
With the Community Update now live, I just wanted to say how excited I am to be a part of Guild Wars 2's future alongside some of my favorite people. And, as a player, I'll be seeing all of you across Tyria in all three eras. 👀✨ youtu.be/sybTVg0LuGo?...

Really honored to have been commissioned by @guildwars2.com to create several Emotes for the brand new official Discord server! I had such a delight drawing all of these. 💚 More info about the Discord can be found here: www.guildwars2.com/en/news/join... #guildwars2 #gw2 #charr #guildwars
Probably should leave them here as well, it's not what I usually draw but @guildwars2.com commissioned me do create some emotes for their official discord and I'm quite happy with how they turned out. I'm also really grateful for the opportunity and it was fun working on them! 💜 #gw2 #Guildwars
If yall haven't seen it yet there is a brand new official discord for @guildwars2.com that you all should join! discord.gg/guildwars I had the honor of creating 6 emotes for said server and it blows me away how much love it's receiving! Thank you for all the kind words! #guildwars2
so like lemme weigh in on this as someone who is more financially comfortable than many in my generational cohort: everything I have gained seems precarious and temporary because I know the people with real money will take it all from me the second they get an opportunity and no one will protect me.
