I guess what I'm trying to say is that Retail WoW isn't done, Blizz clearly have plans for it, and while being stuck on the current patch for probably the rest of the year does suck, beyond that there SHOULD be things to look forward to. Try not to be too gloomy in the meantime, eh?

I think it's fair to be critical of the Worldsoul Saga's rollout - again, I definitely have been, I think revealing it all ahead of time killed the hype cycle after the initial shock wore off - but it does need to be understood that Blizz can't show much of TLT until Midnight's done.

I'm seeing a fair few posts about how Forever's got the spotlight and Retail is left without nothing and while that's technically true (and I was guilty of complaining about the same thing at Blizzcon) - you do need to remember that we have a whole other expansion lined up after Midnight already.

Maybe I'm reading too much into it but it's like "Oh, but we have to have metal to make it look like armour!" Blizz you're selling Murloc and Kobold onesies, you really don't.

It's not the only time I've thought this but it feels really reluctant to be as (for lack of a better term) girliepop as a bright white and teal fairy witch outfit should be. Like if you want to make something for the girls, gays and theys then COMMIT. Make it SERVE.

Hot take but Linux users are the vegans of the tech space, always going on about how their way is better and ethical and easy. Like cool, good for you, bur hat's not viable or desirable for many of us. Also nobody asked.

Yeah, people don't piss in a bin on Classic or Forev- OH. Oh, THAT retail. Yeah that makes more sense.

But also again, neither would ever admit anything publicly. He just has the temptation demon around because "it provides a distraction", and Dakindus being a sayaad only ever responds to people's questions with a wink and a smile. Nobody can know... (Everyone probably knows)

Obahar/Oxwood/Other Worgen @obahar.bsky.social · 03/10/2026

They started off purely transactional - Dakindus got summoned from the nether because it's boring there, and in return helped Gucc claim bounties and do merc jobs. Over time that's changed to Gucc genuinely enjoying the companionship, and Dakindus being genuinely worried for Gucc when he gets hurt🥺

holy shit look at all the hidden replies telling Blizz to ban The Roach™ LMAO I mean, there's a very easy way to get people to stop telling you to ban The Roach™, and it's been suggested many times. It's going to get suggested many more times, too.

Future! They plan for the future! By HAVING SE rious conversations about their feelings

Obahar/Oxwood/Other Worgen @obahar.bsky.social · 02/10/2026

If it's orctober then I need to make Gucc and his incubus have a private relationship that neither speak of to anyone else, where the usually flirty demon shows genuine romantic interest and the green toxic masc guy admits he genuinely likes the company of his summon. And they FU-

Obahar/Oxwood/Other Worgen @obahar.bsky.social · 02/10/2026

Oh I know about that, just wasn't sure if it was even more and... oh god of course it's even more, why wouldn't it be. 😔

Oh god, has he done something else now?

I mean I'm not in that much of a position to judge because I was in a pretty high percentage of Charli listeners... But just remember, it's LGBT-Q-, not LGBT-YOU-

Obahar/Oxwood/Other Worgen @obahar.bsky.social · 01/10/2026

Top 0.5% of Lady Gaga listeners is a terrifying statistic. Save some queer for the rest of us!!!

So regarding why I (and possibly others in the WoWsphere) have been posting about transmedicalism was because one person was really digging their heels in about it despite hearing the words of others and they've now deactivated their account. I'm hoping they come back having learned from this.

Obahar/Oxwood/Other Worgen @obahar.bsky.social · 01/10/2026

To be queer and closeted is to still be queer, as it is to be out to a few, out to most or out to all. But even outside of that line of thinking - everyone has a claim to their own body and to choose what is right for them. Nobody should have expectations about their own body forced on them.

Obahar/Oxwood/Other Worgen @obahar.bsky.social · 01/10/2026

If someone says they are trans, they're trans. Not everyone can dress as their preferred gender, not everyone can use their preferred pronouns, and there's a whole multitude of reasons someone might not have access to or a desire for medication or medical procedures. I don't think it's complicated.

Obahar/Oxwood/Other Worgen @obahar.bsky.social · 29/09/2026

instead of using that intelligence for anything good they use it to justify why it's okay to use slurs against queer folk or ethnic groups, or why women are "ugly" in games. Like motherfucker, you HAVE a brain, I can see it because you insist on proving that you do - why can't it choose kindness?

Obahar/Oxwood/Other Worgen @obahar.bsky.social · 29/09/2026

The thing that I've learned (and come to absolutely loathe) about those who self-identify as chuds (yes they've started to try and "reclaim" the word lmao) is this; A lot of them aren't stupid, they're genuinely intelligent and understand a lot of complex philosophies and ideas, AND YET;

130

Obahar/Oxwood/Other Worgen @obahar.bsky.social · 28/09/2026

It's not even the chuds I'm particularly angry at - bigots gonna bigot, trolls gonna troll, it's this wishy washy """middle ground""" where they're like "I just don't want politics in the game :(((" 👏 THEN 👏 TELL 👏 THEM 👏 TO 👏 STOP 👏 ANTAGONIZING 👏 MINORITIES

Obahar/Oxwood/Other Worgen @obahar.bsky.social · 28/09/2026

"Why did both sides bring the Culture War into WoW Forever???" Ah yes, minorities are to blame for *checks notes* Not being particularly thrilled about being called slurs by a streamer's following of incels, racists and homophobes. Clearly both sides are at fault!

Obahar/Oxwood/Other Worgen @obahar.bsky.social · 28/09/2026

That post is literally how everyone's been with Discord after they tried to bait sympathy with a pic of their mascot looking sad after rolling out the age verification nonsense LMAO

Obahar/Oxwood/Other Worgen @obahar.bsky.social · 26/09/2026

It really is that simple. I will re-state, if you can't abide by this, it's not the fault of marginalized people. You just have a severe skill issue and need to learn the most basic social etiquette. There are no excuses, and you will face the consequences of your own actions. End of.

Uhm acksually ☝️🤓 the correct nationality for the person who corrected you is "South Canadian", not Armenian.

Obahar/Oxwood/Other Worgen @obahar.bsky.social · 26/09/2026

Last addition before I got to bed but it is LAUGHABLY pathetic to deliberately offend people - and it IS deliberate, make no fucking mistake of it - and then turn around and act surprised when the people you are belittling take issue with it. Play stupid games, win stupid prizes. FAFO. It's simple.

030

Obahar/Oxwood/Other Worgen @obahar.bsky.social · 26/09/2026

And no, I don't feel bad for YOUR inability to read the room. Your social inelegance is not my problem and your willful ignorance does not have to be tolerated. Learn to behave, or learn to make a new account after Blizzard nukes you from the heavens.

130

Obahar/Oxwood/Other Worgen @obahar.bsky.social · 26/09/2026

It is not the responsibility of queer people, women or ethnic minorities to teach you what is appropriate to say and when. This isn't a fucking kindergarten. Learn quickly, or face the consequences.

130

Obahar/Oxwood/Other Worgen @obahar.bsky.social · 26/09/2026

I shouldn't've tried to reason with an Asm*ngold fan but I did. I got hit with "What might be homophobia, misogyny and racism for you might not be for others" If you're telling me that you can't learn what slurs are then; 1) Skill issue. 2) I think a suspension or ban will be an effective teacher.

Whoever does claim him needs to take better care of him, I'm pretty certain he has scabies and that can land you with a fine or time served.

Purely original posts. Reposts are cool, no harm there imo!

Obahar/Oxwood/Other Worgen @obahar.bsky.social · 24/09/2026

True! But there's yapping and then there's another post and another and oh god HELP- (Jokes aside plenty of artists I follow yap and I welcome the yap, it's just in extreme cases where the person is genuinely putting up a post every thirty minutes, my poor feed 😢)

021

Obahar/Oxwood/Other Worgen @obahar.bsky.social · 24/09/2026

And look, I'm a yapper, I'm not immune to my own criticism here but oh god, oh dear od

Obahar/Oxwood/Other Worgen @obahar.bsky.social · 24/09/2026

Things outside of art happen and I'm totally on board with artists not posting art 100% of the time but when it's just a deluge of random thoughts I- 😭 Have mercy on me I just wanted to see your cool furry OCs

230

Obahar/Oxwood/Other Worgen @obahar.bsky.social · 24/09/2026

Artists, please, I'm begging you - don't post like 10-20+ posts (not replies, actual full on posts) per day. I like you, you're cool, but I can't have a single person being like 50% of my Following feed, I just can't.
