Day 420 of Azshara-Xal’atath theory brain: From the Confronting Xal’atath cinematic: -dark heart/Beledar alignment with shadow magic echoing the Azshara Harbingers cinematic where her tendrils first emerge. The Arathi call this the “Emperor’s Vision” (similar to N’Zoth perhaps?)

One of the things I encourage folks that want to explore the environmental art of WoW to do is consider the positionality of everything as it relates to Sun, Moon, Light & Shadow, directional pointing & studying the layouts of different ruin complexes. I do think there was some intending even in

The most emotionally neutral and helpful way I've seen CPTSD described is that your brain is a predictive modeling beast and it's been fed misery for so long it will only output the same. So you gotta feed it new data constantly. The feeling of doing these new positive things will suck. (1/2)

I think Zul’jan’s story is also going to be the carrying metaphor used to explain Thrall’s journey in the Last Titan— the dark shamans that caused the poisoning of the land & water and Ula’Tek being the “dragon” that must be slain. What’s also interesting about all the Ula’Tek lore is that none of

See, the messaging utilized by Zul’jan and Zul’jarra, using political protest mantras of Amerindigenous movements (e.g., “We are still here”) leaves me to wonder why would they abandon a character like Zul’jan. I think with so much of the Amani story being about abiding in the faith of the loa

What are the Amani? Halazzi - Fearless Nalorakk - Strong Akil’zon - Victorious Second place — “in one’s shadow” What are the Amani? Jan’alai Slowly dying (Dying embers/the cycle of renewal) Jan ‘ ala(r)= Zul’jan’s Light?

"Far from being passive victims of foreign manipulation, Black and Indigenous revolutionaries have repeatedly exercised sophisticated political agency—wielding global anti-imperialist ties not out of indoctrination, but as strategic self-defense against state terror."

"By pathologizing Indigenous sovereignty and Black liberation as products of external puppet masters, the ruling class attempts to deny the legitimacy of internal struggle—and, more importantly, conceal their unwillingness and inability to offer a viable alternative beyond ..."

Day 115 of my Azshara is Xal’atath soapbox stand Part of me thinks we’ll learn of Lady Vashj’s role at guiding Kael’Thas personally was to manipulate him into being at the heart of the Tempest Keep + getting him to take artifacts back to Silvermoon, and the theft of the Zangar waters was

bsky.app/profile/alti... Yeahhh people should be more critical of filmmakers like Christopher Nolan and James Cameron and their problematic business practices regarding Indigenous communities. Support smaller filmmakers or stick to the Cooglers and Harjos of the industry

"The most troubling ethical problem with Nolan’s Odyssey concerns the decision to film part of the movie in the occupied territory of Western Sahara, thus normalising the ongoing violence against the indigenous Sahrawi people." 👌

So the thing about Ula-tek is that it’s a manifestation of the Rift of Aln with a seemingly bottomless pit of accursedness. I would speculate that it is the form of the goddess lost from Harandar. For an Elden Ring comparison, Marika is no where to be found… yet the skin of Eiglay the serpent

I like the environmental art of Voidstorm and its aesthetic use of red algae bloom to represent an invasive species planet that chokes everything out, while also tying into the theme of dark waters Also definitely will end in a big Azshara reveal, I’m sure of it

So, with a long line of Azshara thoughts… What if the Primus knew she was due for the Shadowlands because she was fated to die 10,000 years ago, and decided to play a game against her? Carve runes into the puppet of Order’s arbiter creating the Jailer, make of himself the Runecarver, and practice a

Continuing down my Azshara speculations, I might bet on the idea that Elune was once the mortal priestess Azsuna who was a sister moon maiden to Azshara. Azshara wanted that level of power, and sought to manifest the Eternal Sun (Sargaeras), and she has since been crafting a worldwide shadowplay

Oof, that Zul’jan dialogue is terrible writing. Like I get the whole point of the patch is about curses, cursed information, and spitting venom, but it really takes the delicate characteristics we learned about Zul’jan from his introductory audio drama and turns him into a pawn of the cycle of hate
