Hello one and all! Tyria Pride is returning to Tyria for the 9th time! Join us any time next Saturday and Sunday, June 22 and 23, on both EU and NA for an awesome event that takes us all the way from Ebonhawke to Rata Sum, while we raise money for a good cause!
You can also watch it on my twitch at twitch.tv/lelling!

What is Tyria Pride?
Tyria Pride is a two-day in-game pride march from one corner of (core) Tyria to the other to show support both LGBTQ players and devs, and a fundraiser for Rainbow Railroad, a non-profit organisation which helps queer people escape state-sponsored persecution and violence around the world.
It's tons of fun every year, a ton of streamers join in so there are many ways to follow along even if you're not in game, music guilds hold concerts, and we have some pretty legendary giveaways! It's always blast!
For more info, check out the post on the official forums at tyriapride.com/2024
Fundraiser
Rainbow Railroad is a non-profit that helps LGBTQ+ people get to safety from countries where their lives are at risk. They've done tons of work all over the world, working tirelessly in places like Russia and Afghanistan, and have already sprung into action as a response to the death penalty laws in Uganda, where you could even get up to 10 years in prison if you don't tell the police your child is gay. Rainbow Railroad works tirelessly to save lives, and we're honored to support them in this cause!

How to get involved?
There are so many ways you can help out - spread the news, tell your friends and guildies, if you use any social media, share the information, let people know where and when to find the event!
Another way you can help out is by donating in-game prizes! We incentivize donations to the fundraiser by raffling off legendaries, black lion skins, and even artists give away commissions! If you can spare donations, both in-game or out, let me know! My in-game name is Lelling.6795

Wanted to do something inspired by that one LW4 Bug in the System trailer!! Color splatters made by me, black and white background splatters are from GW2's official asset kit!
Some people in tags commenting on Yitu's tats made me realize;
1. it's been a long time since I've talked about them
2. I've gotta new followers that have no idea of his gimmick LMAO
So! You've heard of wizards and their spell books, but have you heard of wizards making themselves into a spell book? Yitu is a rune specialist and tattoo artist who has absolutely covered himself in spells. He's a base mesmer at his core, but through crafting inks with alchemy and his study of runes, he enables himself to cast a wide array of spells he really shouldn't have any business having. So long as said spells have juice, of course.
It's been approved! Now we can have a space focused on GW2 lore, storytelling, fanworks, OCs, and more!
Communities is still in beta testing at the time of this writing I believe. So it doesn't look like there's an auto-join yet. Lemme know if you want an invite.
I gathered many textures from gw2 to show case how amazing and cool the details in textiles are, the details, patterns. All of this has been done so good :3
Starting with main cities:
Black Citadel - Charr use fur for carpets but in some places they have fabric here and there.
Divinity's Reach - Humans have lot's of tents and banners, a lot of reds appear.
Hoalbrak - Norn's have two banners/ tapestries and a whole two carpet designs, lots of elements have fur/ skin around tho.
Rata Sum - Not much better than Norn's they lack more patterns.
The grove I skipped since there is not much there except plants.
howdy this is my first ever animatic!! It's about @manasurge 's Mourynn's pinning for Caithe and the feeling of inadequacy/not being good enough for that she might have felt in her early years.
I have a follow up one from caithes POV but it will be a bit before its post worthy
Dulcis the Golden! (they/them) A sylvari born with their heart exposed and dripping gold. The golden sap is said to taste like heaven and has caused people to be extremely possessive of Dulcis in the past.
One such incident led to their heart being ripped out.
Too bad that causes them to create a lethal toxin instead :)
Ignore me editing their heart in different places and sizes sdfkjhsd
