friends and I talked about this idea for a while today! We figured:

ANDUIN (with Genn’s help) should be the one to kill Nathanos. It opens more opportunities for Andy’s development and lets Genn actually win something for once.

TYRANDE (with Maiev’s help) should be the one to kill Sylvanas. It feels only fair that Tyrande, the person who has lost more than anyone in this trainwreck, be the one to end Sylvanas’ bullshit.

The worst thing the story could do is have Saurfang kill Sylvanas, as it robs Alliance of the justice (and win) they sorely deserve. That’s probably what’s gonna happen tho, cuz World of Warcraft is a horde story and alliance have just been along for the ride since Cata unfortunately.

Blizard already robbed us by having Thrall kill Garrosh, so if they actually stoop to that again, if they rob the Alliance of what they goddamn deserve a second time, then that shit will be goddamn unforgivable.

Honestly, that might just be the thing that finally makes me jump ship. I have been getting increasingly sick of Blizzard’s blatant Horde-centric horseshit.

So like hot take but when are we going to start blaming blizzard for not giving their writers the actual lore of the game and forcing the writers to figure it out on their own than blaming the writers? These writers all have a great writing style but aren’t given any help on the flow of the plot from Blizzard. 

Christine Golden has said before she was hired to blizzard and basically given the plot of her first wow book and blizzard was like “write this” and gave her no help. She wasn’t told the lore. She wasn’t told the characters in detail. She had to constantly ask Chris Mezten every step of the way because blizzard would not help her. 

So apparently the newest discourse is that Christine Golden looked into a actual war crime case to help her write Garroshs trials and so researching shit to apply to your writing and get inspiration is “bad writing” now? Okay

Question…

An anguished question from a Trump supporter: “Why do liberals think Trump supporters are stupid?”

The serious answer: Here’s what we really think about Trump supporters – the rich, the poor, the malignant and the innocently well-meaning, the ones who think and the ones who don’t…

That when you saw a man who had owned a fraudulent University, intent on scamming poor people, you thought “Fine.”

That when you saw a man who had made it his business practice to stiff his creditors, you said, “Okay.”

That when you heard him proudly brag about his own history of sexual abuse, you said, “No problem.”

That when he made up stories about seeing muslim-Americans in the thousands cheering the destruction of the World Trade Center, you said, “Not an issue.”

That when you saw him brag that he could shoot a man on Fifth Avenue and you wouldn’t care, you chirped, “He sure knows me.”

That when you heard him illustrate his own character by telling that cute story about the elderly guest bleeding on the floor at his country club, the story about how he turned his back and how it was all an imposition on him, you said, “That’s cool!”

That when you saw him mock the disabled, you thought it was the funniest thing you ever saw.

That when you heard him brag that he doesn’t read books, you said, “Well, who has time?”

That when the Central Park Five were compensated as innocent men convicted of a crime they didn’t commit, and he angrily said that they should still be in prison, you said, “That makes sense.”

That when you heard him tell his supporters to beat up protesters and that he would hire attorneys, you thought, “Yes!”

That when you heard him tell one rally to confiscate a man’s coat before throwing him out into the freezing cold, you said, “What a great guy!”

That you have watched the parade of neo-Nazis and white supremacists with whom he curries favor, while refusing to condemn outright Nazis, and you have said, “Thumbs up!”

That you hear him unable to talk to foreign dignitaries without insulting their countries and demanding that they praise his electoral win, you said, “That’s the way I want my President to be.”

That you have watched him remove expertise from all layers of government in favor of people who make money off of eliminating protections in the industries they’re supposed to be regulating and you have said, “What a genius!”

That you have heard him continue to profit from his businesses, in part by leveraging his position as President, to the point of overcharging the Secret Service for space in the properties he owns, and you have said, “That’s smart!”

That you have heard him say that it was difficult to help Puerto Rico because it was the middle of water and you have said, “That makes sense.”

That you have seen him start fights with every country from Canada to New Zealand while praising Russia and quote, “falling in love” with the dictator of North Korea, and you have said, “That’s statesmanship!”

That Trump separated children from their families and put them in cages, managed to lose track of 1500 kids. has opened a tent city incarceration camp in the desert in Texas – he explains that they’re just “animals” – and you say, “well, ok then.”

That you have witnessed all the thousand and one other manifestations of corruption and low moral character and outright animalistic rudeness and contempt for you, the working American voter, and you still show up grinning and wearing your MAGA hats and threatening to beat up anybody who says otherwise.

What you don’t get, Trump supporters in 2018, is that succumbing to frustration and thinking of you as stupid may be wrong and unhelpful, but it’s also…hear me…charitable.

Because if you’re NOT stupid, we must turn to other explanations, and most of them are *less* flattering.
