Reference sheet of my character Erann, a blood elf priest from World of Warcraft. The left side features closeups of his face and head, shown forward and in profile. Two scars, one running under his eyes and one on the left side of his neck, can be seen in both. The middle and right side show full-body outfit concepts: an all-black formal robe with gold trim (for performing funeral rites and ceremonies), and a set of all-white vestments, also with gold trim (for day-to-day duties).

Wandering back in with a reference sheet for Erann that I realized I don’t remember posting before!

Promo graphic for a roleplay event in World of Warcraft. Event details are in bold text on the left side of the image, while my character Erann is shown on the right side. He is dressed up in a nurse's cap and an all-white, vaguely medical-looking uniform (complete with thigh-high boots). The text with event details details reads as follows. "Eastern Kingdoms Fall Blood Drive in Darkshire, Duskwood. Help make a difference today," marked with an asterisk indicating a footnote. "When? Saturday, 1 November at 2PM (Server Time, US Central). Where? Darkshire (Alliance, Moon Guard). Why? A community effort to help individuals with certain conditions that might require regular blood transfusions," with a dagger mark indicating a second footnote. The footnotes are as follows, in order. "1: Living donors preferred. Must have a naturally occurring pulse to donate." "2: Conditions not specified. Donated blood is distributed on the honor system. We work to assure that no blood goes towards fel or demonic rituals, or other purposes that may pose a risk to donors. However, we cannot verify or guarantee that recipients of donated blood are not vampiric or otherwise undead in nature."

It's happening! Erann is hosting a blood drive to help out his friends in need (of blood).

Saturday, Nov. 1st, at 2PM server time on (Alliance side) Moon Guard in Duskwood.

Come on out and donate blood to help the local 🩸🦇🤫population in Duskwood (or request some if you need it)!

WELL FOLKS I am giving up on my dreams of a faction neutral blood drive event in retail WoW. for now. but - that just means more blood drive events later on, so I can have some for both sides 🥰

I'm eyeing Darkshire on Saturday Nov 1st for the next upcoming event, keep an eye out for more info soon!

And they actually enjoy letting me express myself. They are here to help me, and they are not sighing when I open my mouth or ignoring me when I want to be heard.

And on that note— to the friends who may be reading this:

Thank you 💛

Fighting back against that line of thought and struggling to trust that these people wanted to be there, that they enjoyed the thing we were creating together.

And it’s a struggle!!!

But I’m posting this as a reminder for myself. My brain is in survival mode maybe, but my friends care about me

It’s very scary, I’m not gonna lie. I just wrapped up a big group activity I’d organized, and I’m fighting NOT to overthink every moment and NOT to be convinced that all the people who showed up, helped me put it together, who thanked me for planning and said they had fun… were just being polite

And I know this was never really their intention, but my god is it wild to look back on it all in hindsight and recognize the changes in myself. and to compare that with the groups I’m a part of now. to see myself starting to get comfortable with “shining” again, unabashedly grabbing the spotlight

I got infinitely more afraid of expressing myself for fear of rejection. Small rejections like somebody heaving a playfully tired sigh when I try to share an anecdote or a story, but bigger ones too, like being left out of group plans. Left out of a group tattoo that I only learned of after the fact

— then I guess they felt like it was their job to keep me grounded? And so that was what they did. A lot. And over time I realize that I got less outgoing, and talked less, and I got infinitely more self-conscious. Especially about asking my friends for attention or validation in any form at all

Going to just quietly post this one over here, lmao—- thinking about friendships and community and all of that tonight, and thinking about how my previous friend groups really didn’t give me a lot of room to “shine” if that makes sense

Like I was pretty outgoing when I joined this one group and—

THANK YOU IN ADVANCE 💖 and please feel free to DM me here or on Discord if you're interested in volunteering!

(planning a blood drive event and in-character he simply won't be able to do everything alone! not to mention - out of character, the turnout for my casual events so far has me thinking I may need one or two volunteers to give me a hand with some things, if I want to be able to host effectively!)

Let me draw your characters pretty please 🙏🏻

When I say my casual events have proven unpredictable … this is the kind of scene I’m thinking about 😂🥰

Lastly— if you can’t make this one or don’t have epsi, please don’t fret too much about missing it! I’ll be hosting more of these soon, in both epsi and retail!

(With that said, I’m learning these events can be unpredictable— so while faction loyalists won’t be welcome, other forms of in-character conflict may still arise 😂 and I cannot guarantee a 100% chill vibe the whole time…. but that’s just part of the fun 🥰)

This will be a faction-neutral gathering, hosted on the grounds of the Honeyhearth Meadery, so please no faction loyalist types from either side 💖

FOLKS IT’S HAPPENING AGAIN (in epsi this time)

I’m SO sorry this is such a last-minute announcement, I’ve had a wild week and forgot to post here, but Erann is hosting another wine-tasting!

We’ll be in epsi phase 207 starting at 1pm eastern (about two hours from now) so come join if you can!

Vykas 🥺💖

I just want to see them having a GOOD time!!

Meanwhile…. I still love how this is coming along!

I cannot wait for the #WoW Midnight expansion!

Agzi!!! It was such a pleasure to have you there, thank you again for coming out! 🥰

Another cropped screenshot of the same "truth or dare" circle as in the original post. This one is zoomed in on three blood elf male characters. All of them have some variation of a long blond hairstyle and a fancy looking shirt transmog. (if you saw the version of this without alt text.... no you didn't. it was here the whole time. honest)

Bonus shot: 🤔 is it really an Eversong party without at least three Blond Twinks in Fancy Shirts?

Screenshot from World of Warcraft showing a diverse group of characters sitting in a semi-circle on the ground at Saltheril's Haven. You can't really tell from the image but they are playing "truth or dare."

Similar screenshot from World of Warcraft at a different angle: showing a diverse group of characters sitting in a semi-circle on the ground at Saltheril's Haven. You can't really tell from the image but they are playing "truth or dare."

I was way too caught up in hosting duties to think of taking many screenshots the other night during the Eversong picnic - but I DID manage to grab a couple right at the end of the evening! Truth or dare circle :)

if you cannot let your oc look stupid, be silly or be wrong you haven’t unlocked the true torments for that mfer. i know you like angst but there are more Tribulations at your finger tips. it’s also good not to be too precious with them in general let that mfer step on a rake

YESSS 😭😂 I just sent it to you— WoW really seems determined to stop Erann from ever getting the full story between these two

LMAOOOO just keeping up with tradition….

I will have to find my screenshots and show you— the exact same thing happened in reverse during an RP with Nynx a few years back! Those two really have it out for each other 🤔

Yesss!! 😂 I turned mine off Year One of playing but I can see the sheer nostalgic value being a powerful motivator to keep it turned on

And it was SUCH a fun surprise that y’all were able to show up for the event at all, but the absolute Drama™️ was just… chef’s kiss! Beautiful stuff 🥰 THANK YOU!!!

And she too was JUSTIFIED!! LMAO

God, what a messy situation— and I loved every minute of that whole scene!! 😂🥰

beautiful. end scene #wowrp
