Scully working a dull job after being taken of the x files, to Mulder:

“You ready to quit?”

“No.” -Mulder offscreen

Mulder covering the phone with his hand replies:

“That would make way too many people way too happy.”

Man I wish this questline had been a mandatory playthrough before his Dragonflight story was written lol

The shame and responsibility he feels over Deathwing is just so polar opposite to how he's portrayed in Zaralek. His motivations have always been so crystal clear, and yet...

Replaying this questline really is reminding my why Wrathion is one of my favorite characters in fiction.

The voice acting does such a good job at emphasizing the *burden* he feels as the last of his kind, with all the responsibility, shame, pride, everything that comes with it.

"The Sword and the Anvil" (2/2)

The image is the third page of a comic featuring Anduin Wrynn and Wrathion from World of Warcraft.

Panel 1: The void tentacles creep in towards Anduin's face, which is drawn into a pensive expression of internal conflict. N'Zoth's eyes appear behind him and stare, fixated on him.

Panel 2: Anduin's arms tighten around the pillow he is clutching to his chest. The void tentacles start to wrap around him, constricting him.

Panel 3: A warm glow emanates from Wrathion, who is staring forward with open concern. His posture is still relaxed, even as he asks "Anduin. Is something the matter?"

Panel 4: Anduin stares forward with an unreadable expression, the lower half of his face pressed into the pillow. He seems contemplative. The eyes of N'Zoth are fading.

The image is the fourth page of a comic featuring Anduin Wrynn and Wrathion from World of Warcraft.

Panel 1: Anduin uses his hand to push himself up from sitting so he can lean over the table. Now his shirt is also showing some cleavage.

Panel 2: Anduin is leaning forwards, tucking a strand of Wrathion's hair behind his ear. Wrathion is looking up at Anduin, surprised, with his lips slightly parted.

Panel 3: A close-up shot of Anduin and Wrathion's faces, their noses almost touching. They are looking romantically into each other's eyes while Wrathion brings his hand up behind Anduin's head to press them closer together.

Panel 4: Anduin and Wrathion share a tender kiss in front of the fireplace with their faces obscured. Wrathion's hand is on Anduin's shoulder, holding him close, while Anduin is lightly touching Wrathion's cheek.

"The Sword and the Anvil" by @silriven.bsky.social (1/2)

A #wranduin comic commissioned by @claretash.bsky.social

The image is the first page of a comic featuring Anduin Wrynn and Wrathion from World of Warcraft.

Panel 1: Anduin and Wrathion are sitting across from each other on the floor in front of a fireplace. Anduin is cradling a pillow to his chest while Wrathion stares down at a chess board, pondering his next move.

Panel 2: Wrathion reaches forward and knocks over the white bishop using a black pawn with a "tap" sound effect.

Panel 3: Anduin stares down at the chess board with a distant expression. Out of frame, Wrathion calls out to him. "Anduin? Anduin?"

The image is the second page of a comic featuring Anduin Wrynn and Wrathion from World of Warcraft.

Panel 1: Anduin pinches the bridge of his nose as he says "I'm sorry. I'm not sure where my mind wandered just now... Is it my turn again?" Wrathion is stroking his beard with a playful smile as he responds, "Perhaps this would be a good time to interlude, my dear king. I wouldn't want you to make an embarrassing error due to sleep deprivation."

Panel 2: Anduin is tucking a strand of hair behind his ear, reaching forward to play his other white bishop. He looks mildly aggravated, saying "I know that you'd much rather I make an embarrassing error due to my own incompetence. I'm not tired, let's go for another hour."

Panel 3: Wrathion is still smiling, leaning against his hand as he says "As you wish." It's important to note here that his shirt is very low cut and you can see quite a bit of cleavage.

Panel 4: The scene zooms out a little, and we see that there are conjured mage snacks on the floor and a Jihui board discarded to the side. Wrathion looks past Anduin to stare at several void tentacles that are slowly approaching Anduin from behind.

best reasons to make art:
#1. horny
#2. you found something weird and fucked up inside yourself and you want to work through it
#3. angry.
#4. all of the above at once.

#wranduin #Warcraft #WranduinSecretSanta2025

The image is of Wrathion and Anduin Wrynn from World of Warcraft, however the art depicts an AU - Wrathion is human, and Anduin is a dragon - both of whom are princes!

Wrathion sits on a rocky outcrop at the forefront of the image. He has his legs tucked in closer to his body, and rests one arm on a knee. A beautiful, dark maroon cloak covers most of his body. He gazes at the viewer with a contemplative look on his face, wind blowing his hair, the embers of a sunset highlighting him.

Behind him is Anduin in dragon form. He's a large blue dragon, but with large swathes of rich yellow and gold scales and wing membrane. He has a fins outcropping from his face, almost giving him a mane-like appearance. Generally his colours are that of a rich dawn. His visible eye aligns with Wrathion's and he gazes down at the man. He too is highlighted by the embers of sunset behind them.

The Secret Santa prompt was, "Role reversal, for example: Wrathion is a human prince and Anduin is a dragon in hiding." MERRY XMAS KAY!!! 💗

I’m getting way too emotional over the Wicked soundtrack. Glinda’s singing about how Elphaba died alone in “No One Mourns the Wicked” is ripping my heart apart. Because Glinda is mourning throughout that entire song, she’s just hiding it because she has to, augh. Man.
