I hate that in 99% of tutorials to RP races, it’s always about sticking to their stereotypes and culture and You Can’t Have It Any Other Way. Like. Lemme explain

It’s always like for example “Tauren are peaceful, really strong big cuddly plushies unless you piss them off”. So then people only register Tauren = most peaceful race of the Horde. But while it’s true, it still means you can have a murderous Tauren. One that disrespect nature and want to cook the Alliance eveyday. Anything. It’s not wrong in the lore. There are vilains Tauren canonly too anyway.

Just take real life stereotypes of your culture / country and see if they ALL apply to you. Chances are, maybe you have a few, but definitely not all of them. Well it’s the same thing with WoW races.

Greedy goblins are a thing, but so are selfless goblins. You can have all kind of undead.

Pandaren aren’t all travelers, tea & stories, hospitality winners, there’s also the bad it very ones. Like you know that grandma pandaren that turned people and animals into Jade ? YeAh.

Any race can be anything. Please don’t listen and have FUN creating your chars, you let people put limits where there’s none.

Y’all, please listen to this song. This is Mongolian folk rock by a new band called the HU, it’s the only song they’ve got out so far but it is a strong start, holy shit.

According to one of the comments on the video, it’s sung from the perspective of the spirits of the ancestors, who are lamenting that politicians aren’t keeping their word, Mongolians are discriminating against each other over their provincial origin or bloodline, and the traditional wisdom of the elders is being lost. The English translation in the captions isn’t great, but you really don’t need it to enjoy the song. This is going to be stuck in my head all weekend.

IT’S ON SPOTIFY!!!!!! THEY’LL HAVE DATA TO KNOW HOW MANY TIMES IN A ROW WE LISTEN TO IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Our cat had all four roommates feeding him each day because he acted like he was starving and we didn’t know that the other roommate already fed him. This was our solution, hopefully he will slim down a bit.

[caption: photo of a laminated sheet of paper that is being held onto a fridge with an expo marker magnetized to it. it shows a photograph of a very large cat wearing a hot dog costume, staring at the camera with his ears slightly back and his face round. above the photo is a chart that says WAS THE BASTARD FED TODAY?!?!?!?! and then each day is labelled. on Wednesday there are two checkmarks and the box says “we fucked up”.

next to the photo on the bottom right is a very small bit of text that appears to say “this is the bastard [unreadable]”/end id
