i honestly don't think a movie has impacted the way my family speaks more than "O Brother Where Art Thou."
Bob always liked to ask the cats, "is you is or is you ain't my constituency?"
if anything goes missing, it "R-U-N-N-O-F-T."

Cephan: For my next trick I will now microaggress the Maldraxxi
#cephan please#it's not the bones clacking#you don't have the right reverb#you gotta sound like you're talking into a fan

For the time being Cephan is just in 'jail' (more hospital temple of purity but with the he's not allowed to leave) after getting his knee kicked in by Thales after this.
So he's currently sulking, brooding and moping for the time being while my DKs continute the SL plot.

#Oh yo this is DOPE#I will admit I don't know much about amani but shadow priests are always super intresting!!
The most important thing to know about the Amani is that like...
The elves complain about them encroaching on their territory all the time, but the Amani were LITERALLY there first. Also, if consider trolls to be the buttmonkies of Azeroth, then the Amani are the buttmonkies for the rest of the trolls. They terminally disrespected, which.
Kind of their own fault, given that they're highly aggressive racists who think very highly of themselves, but you know.
Anyway, the stuff about the markings is Stuff I Made Up, but it's based on looking at the different facepaints on the Amani NPCs, so! I don't feel bad about it.
I got really interested in the Amani because of their proximity to Silvermoon, and with half-elves being a staple of fantasy, I was just like. Technically, elves and trolls are more genetically compatible than elves and humans, and they're right there. That's gotta have good story potential.
Do you have any lore to share of Di'angeleo? 👁️
Oh my god. I have so much lore. And art!
Okay, not so much art, but! He's a character I've had since Burning Crusade, so he's been around A While. His mother was a Quel'dorei Ranger who got captured by the Amani and used her feminine wiles to get free. She returned to Silvermoon only a little worse for wear and a little pregnant. When Di'Angeleo was born, she promptly dumped him in an orphanage, and he was treated about as well as you'd expect a half-troll to be treated.
As a teenager, he became the apprentice of a Shadow Priest named Mourne and learned hand to hand combat from Mourne's partner, Tre'jani. It was a pretty decent outlet for all his angst but stuff kind of happened and he ended up on his own by his 20s. During this time, he started searching for his parents, and while his mother was a huge (but not unexpected) disappointment, his father was...
Well, waaay back when, his father was kind of booted from the Amani for losing the elf woman, and was about as surly as Di'Angeleo was. Still, he was secretly thrilled to have a son to pass his legacy onto, and he began teaching Leo traditional Amani hoodoo. They were constantly butting heads and getting into arguments, but there wasn't really resentment attached to it. It was, more or less, the best way they both knew how to communicate and nothing a little tussling didn't sort out.
Eventually, the Amani learned that their ways were being taught to an outsider - an elf, of all wretched things - and came for the pair in the night. Di'Angeleo's father sacrificed himself so Leo could get away, but since he wasn't done with his boy, he now haunts his own shrunken head, and he and Leo continue their arguing.
Beyond that, Leo is a cranky blade-for-hire whose base of operations is in the haunted part of Duskwallow Swamp, but his meanness is largely a coping mechanism after years of being treated like shit. Once you get past his gruff exterior, he's very soft-hearted and he cares a LOT about what people think of him.
As a Maw Walker, he spent most of Bastion doing the Office Stare Into the Camera thing because he could see the Forsworn thing coming a mile away, and oh my god, he loves Maldraxxus. Hates the fact that he can see all the bullshit about to hit the fan there too, but like.
He's an Amani Berserker.
The Theater of Pain was the most fun he's had in years. He's having the BEST time hacking things up and ripping Constructs to threads.
He's going to HATE the whimsy of Ardenweald, and Revendreth will not be much better. He's SO bad at mind games and politics.
OH and so I don't forget- the red coloration over his left eye is PERMANENT. It's tattooed on, and it's meant to indicate his status as a berserker - and a half-breed. It stops just behind his ear, and if he was a full Amani, it'd cover both eyes, but since he's not, it's just the one. The rest of the markings are facepaint which have meaning to the Amani tribe (aside from the blue heart), and he switches them up based on what message he's trying to send. And while other trolls can easily recognize them, the variation between tribes means that the accuracy of interpretations may vary.

#he still does shadow magic by the way#he's just more subtle about it#like using it to siphon off the lifeforce of his opponent#using it to resurrect the dead#and using it to distort perceptions to make himself bigger and scarier#that sort of thing

This is beautiful. Perfect 10/10, no notes.
When Vyraz told Cephan to go to the maw he was a little too willing to acsept he had to do that. Thales however, has a brain and realized that was incredably suspious on why Vyraz wanted Cephan to go to the Maw himself for a Baron who may or may not even exist.
Cephan however, stubborn as ever belived he had to. And belived he would be doing a good thing by dragging Thales back to Bastion where he'd be safe from loosing more body parts. He wouldn't listen to Thales who was telling him this was incredably shady.
Their arguing in Oribos as well as the fact Cephan forgot to cover any of his kyrian fetures had them quickly aprihended by Kalisthene as Cephan had been wanted ever since he slipped out of Bastion so kyrian where waiting if he ever showed up in Oribos.
With Cephan destracted by Kalisthene, Thales managed to give him a hard kick to the knee causing Cephan to let go of him. Then Thales managed to sprint back to the ride to Maladraxxus so he can figure out what the heck is going on. Much to the displeasure of Cephan who was pinned down to be detained to be taken back to Bastion.
#I am sorry cephan#but you kind of do this to yourself#and watching you get into trouble is kind of just funny

#I thought that was Kynthia at first#because man oh man#I can see her being very overprotective big sister at Cephan#kynthia half way across the map devestating some maldraxxi#hears thales raise his voice ONE decibel#i must go my aspirant needs me#i do also love kalisthene being cephans minder of course xD

They are almost the same height and this delights me to no end.

There is nothing awkward about Thales' position at all.

#Sir I think your knee is in Leo's groin#be careful where you move that thing#even getting gently kneed in the balls is no joke

You know, I was originally trying to leave the Mawwalker vague in Never Given Freely, but I'm playing Shadowlands again on my fury warrior, Di'angeleo, and after coming out of Bastion, he looks like this
And it's very entertaining to me to picture a giant half-elf (the other half is Amani, which is why I use the Zandalari model for him) skulking around in the background, being grouchy about everything.
#the helmet stays ON#honestly basing the mawwalker on leo changes very little#since they're not really in the story much#it just entertains me

I do not recall if I ever posted these, but I found them while cleaning out some photos and lost it a little.
