Idk how, but gw2 managed to create the most attractive female body type to me in the charr. 8 feet tall, four horns, four ears, terrifying, gorgeous, furry, flat-chested. I just want to curl up with my giant cat wife tbh.
Apart from that though, I still genuinely think the charr are the best designed fantasy race ever. They’re just kinda mesmerizing to look at.
“One of the ideas that helped sell the charr as a race was they wouldn’t just be dudes with cat heads. When talking about cat people as a concept, that is the mental image that met with the most resistance. I began talking about the charr in terms of being not dudes with cat heads but as chimera-like monsters that joined several animals together, with heavy feline features. I remember a key meeting when I drew a quick sketch of a bipedal cat beast to get the point across, we then began concepting to flesh out the race and really sell the idea – and a charr was born.”
“It really didn’t make any sense to have boobs on a charr female, particularly with all the effort we took to make her sleek and fierce. We thought they should have no breasts at all or at least hide them under some fluffy fur. Above all else, we needed to be true to the race, of course! There was still some debate, however, so I gave them a choice: either be subtle and downplay the breasts (it wasn’t a point of the race, anyway) or go full-on realistic. Yes, that’s right —none or six!!
But really, the armor augmentation required for six boobs would be just as ridiculous, so none it was!” (source)
Thanks based anet devs Katy Hargrove and Kristen Perry, for making charr not just dudes with cat heads and for making the feminine character model not a catgirl respectively.
Bonus thanks for the entire studio for going “we would have to model armor around 6 boobs? ok let’s just not do that then”.
Getting rid of the forced sterilization of trans people in 2023 is pretty fucking late
All the trans people who have been sterilized are still waiting on an apology and compensation. It hasn’t been forthcoming so far.
There is nothing in this law for those under 18 years old. Trans teenagers, statistically the most at risk group of trans people, are just stuck with their inaccurate legal status and gender marker on their ID’s.
I put her water dish in the dishwasher and now I’m getting this face and a bunch of bitching because there’s no water.
But you have to understand I can’t give her another water dish, because she will not get over it before her normal dish is clean.
Getting closer to me, she’s very sad about her water dish and I’m a terrible person for doing this to her, on purpose.
I have replaced the bowl with new water, which is abjectly terrifying. She will not drink from this. She is now hiding from it.
I am being judged once more, but from the safety of across the house from the scary new bowl. I have attempted to explain that her bowl will return soon, but she does not care. I have betrayed her.
Psst. The supplier for our fan-favorite dresses with pockets just added hooded blankets in a super-soft fleece, and they cost a ton less than our old supplier. Better blankets for 30% cheaper?
You better believe it.
