bartender: i wanted to tell you that-
me, crying into my drink: people say zenos is boring and flat when he's a perfect prime example of the culmination of the efforts of a horrific empire built on the suffering of thousands upon thousands of people, a literal weapon in human form, a political pawn that was constantly treated as such by the people around him and never experienced love or affection or even a proper childhood, who is considered "spoiled" even though material things and a king's education could ever be a replacement for simply being treated as a human being, whose skills were many but was made to kill even though he had no genuine love or joy for it at all, and only found some semblance of value in his own life by treating it as something to be put on the line in a game of death in the throes of a grand epic battle like the stories and legends he idolized in his childhood. people say zenos is one-note when that's what he was meant to be before he experienced the pure joy of something close to being a human for the first time which was so profound to him that he threw away the empire that raised him into a tool without any hesitation whatsoever, because he never had any love for that empire or its people or its ideals and was only ever a figurehead to begin with. zenos is a horrible man who has killed so many others and even started the end of the world for his own desperate desire and acknowledges that completely and utterly without any pretenses or attempt for sympathy, because he is a weapon, he is a being that is able to look upon evil and say that there IS no good reason for it, evil is evil, violence is violence, death is death, and not a single excuse in the world can ever justify it. zenos is a character that is not just defined by the wol, but is defined by the entire context of his existence, and that makes him a much more complicated character than people realize.

chit chat A couple that likes sharing their interests.
“old friends” can be such a loaded state of affairs sometimes like you KNOW that theres like a lifetime of things left unsaid between these people
❝ Back when the world was whole, we had family, friends, loves… Men knew peace and contentment, and with our adamant souls, we could live for an age. There was no conflict born of want or disparity. Our differences paled into insignificance beside all we had in common. ❞
what a great time to replay shadowbringers...! or heavensward, since i am clearly not over it!

— Midnight Excerpts #36 // L.H.Z (via lhzthepoet)
⚜ ⋙ the twelve ⁏ halone ( 1 / 12 ) In the center of this heaven rises a lofty palace of ice, made of frozen moonbeams and carved with the Fury’s own spear. Here reside epic heroes and gallant knights, the benevolent and the faithful. From Halone’s gelid palace do piercing icicles plummet to the Pit, creating the Hell of Ice. Here suffer cowards, deserters, and adulters.
I’ve played through the Journey and I quite liked that game
after that I discovered you get a white/orange outfit if you replay it and I just had to draw my WoL like this (with a guest:D)
