can you explain the appeal of thrall & jaina? I've always felt like it just was "single woman & single man glanced at each other once now they are married"

I mean, I think this is one of those things where you either see the chemistry or you don’t? 

In a lot of the books and earlier games/earlier stories, Jaina’s had a lot to do with Thrall. Jaina and Thrall brokered a peace between the Horde and Alliance in Kalimdor, and they found they had a lot in common (that’s verbatim from the books). They met in secret a lot to exchange information to keep their respective factions safe, and in some of those meetings, idk man, there was chemistry between them. I actually thought in Tides of War that Jaina had more chemistry with Thrall than she did with her canon love interest, Kalec. 

Jaina went a bit off the rails after Theramore was destroyed (understandably), but prior to that Jaina and Thrall were very good friends. She confides in him multiple times, something we don’t see her do with anyone else but her mother. 

Not to mention if Jaina and Thrall had a romance, that would potentially be a catalyst for more peace and cooperation between the Alliance and the Horde, as they are both racial leaders. 

The latest cinematic. Dude, you can’t tell me there’s no basis to ship Thrall/Jaina in that. 

And not saying it’s my preferred ship (I prefer any ship where Jaina is with a woman), but since Arthas, Thrall is the only person I could see Jaina hooked up with where I’d go, “Yeah. That makes sense for both the characters and it’s good for both the Alliance and the Horde.” However, Thrall got married and had a baby with Aggra, and I definitely don’t see Jaina ever stepping on another woman’s toes, so I very much doubt Blizz will set them up unless something happens to Aggra. 

There’s no ‘appeal’ in it for me, as in, it’s not a ship I daydream about, but it’s a ship that makes canon sense for both characters, and if Blizzard went there, it wouldn’t feel forced. It would feel like a long, realistic development over many years of both characters that ends in them falling in love.

I NEED TO DRAW THIS 😭😭

I'm reading Cycle of Hatred and like

"Three years ago, while both Theramore and the cities of Durotar were being built, Jaina had given Thrall a magical talisman: a small stone carved in the shape of one of the old Tirisfalen runes. Jaina had its twin in her own possession. Thrall needed only to hold it and think of her, and Jaina‟s talisman would glow; the reverse also held true. If they wished to meet in secret, to discuss issues that affected one or the other, or both, of their people away from the politics of their positions as leaders—or if they simply wished to talk as old friends and comrades—all they had to do was activate the talisman. Jaina would then teleport to the butte, and Thrall would come by airship, since the butte was inaccessible any other way."

Was someone going to tell me they have matching talismans that GLOW WHEN THEY THINK OF EACH OTHER or was I just supposed to find that out now after 20 years of playing this game lmao

[pebsterino]

A little wip because I’ll never be over them

[pebsterino]

Some pairings come and go

And some strike you in the middle of the night with painful nostalgia and you go "you now what, what if I ignore the last 20 years of gaming history with all the revisions of one of the most popular mmos of all time"

[pebsterino]

its so effin crazy that Thrall still spends after all these expansions and books more time with Jaina LOL.

Its so funny to me because they were perfect for each other but ofc we can't have a cross-faction ship of this size??? damn.

Anyways Thraina guys!!!

to these darkened halls

He realizes there’s a hollow trembling inside him where his infected heart used to beat, the stitches that had sewn his self whole together tightening, reminding him of the broken thing he used to be. He looks down at the floor, breathing deeply and allowing himself to… consider. 

Stone covered in thick carpets and fabrics. Soft, durable, dark, they hadn’t been like that before. He used to like blue. The coverlet brushes against the ground, an empty luxury, unshared. He’d never allowed himself much thought. He never allowed himself to remember the way he’d destroyed his—their—bedroom. Shared barely for an instant, he’d turned his rage against the furniture, erasing her memory, erasing her smell and the way she felt against him, disgusted by his own blindness, his naivety. Disgusted by the unfamiliar, weak, all-consuming need. 

Disgusted by her ambition. Disgusted by her disregard. 

He’d shattered the bed with his own hands and never shared it again, kept it empty and unused, forfeiting sleep more often than not, choosing his desk or any concept he could conjure in the ample rooms of his facilities before the comfort of this place. If he had used it at all, he couldn’t remember it. 

Athena had been all consuming. Athena had left an imprint in his soul so deep even after tearing himself apart he could feel the shape of her fingertips. Athena’s touch had branded him so deeply, claiming him so utterly he couldn’t envision the bright sky without bile raising. The crystal floor at the Convocation made him want to reach down his own throat and rip himself apart.

Weak hearted. Weak minded. Powerless. His heart and mind disconnected from her, from their past, but his body? His body, his traitorous flesh, remembers. Lahabrea is but a title, and he’ll never escape the shadow of Hephaistos. The sound of her dainty laugh, the smell of lilies, the warmth and her taste turned sour, repulsive. 

No matter how much of himself he locked away, he can’t refuse his past, can’t erase it, can’t cage it forever and pretend it never existed. Secrets weigh heavily upon the soul and his is weak, torn in two, unable to balance, unable to stop, unable to face the truth and— 

Without his heart, he’s left adrift within the reactions of his body. What once could be navigated, what could have been named and mannered those feelings is gone. He’s not unfeeling, but what connects his mind to his feelings, to his body, is locked away. A piece is gone and what is left instead is chaos.
