Come one, come all to the Zul’Gurub Farmers Market, debuting Fri-Sat at the Zul’Atal Summit on WrA-H, hosted by the Shadowtusk Clan!
What: A Horde-side (sorry, Alliance!) Farmers Market
Where: Uninstanced Zul’Gurub, Stranglethorn Vale.
When: Fri 11/12/21 and Sat 11/13/21 from 6ST-8ST, and every second weekend of every other month thereafter! (Miss this one? Next will be January!)
Why: To showcase all our talented characters who grow their own produce, tan their own leathers, weave their own robes, or have any other such talents!
As this market’s focus is on homegrown and homemade/handmade goods of a non-magical nature, this does sadly mean that folks who make magic-based items such as potions, trinkets, or enchantments can’t sell. It doesn’t mean you can’t sell your reagents (if you’ve grown them yourself), but we want to give the server something we haven’t yet seen, market-wise!

And be sure to look for a post detailing Zul’Atal as well, including a full schedule of events in the next week or two!

I finally drew the beautiful and talented Windspeaker Zu’massirah; she’s the one who does most of the Menagerie’s paperwork and the War-Goddess Panjya’s closest friend, despite the two being Pa’kura and Raptari respectively. @bearicorn-arts
So really the answer to “what is alienating conservatives” is “absolutely anything that reminds them of any new information they’ve learned about the world since they were a small child” and it becomes a lot more clear how futile it is to pretend you care about what they want
I wanted to give my favorite Zandalari War-Goddess a bit more of a fleshed-out design, here is what I am thinking for how her face and hair will look from now on. Like much of my art, this was drawn with paper and pencil and then digitally colored.
You ever think about someone you'll probably never meet again?
A few days ago I couldn't stop thinking about an old friend I met back in 2010. He was a boy named Skylar, we met on Gaia Online and he used a female avatar and presented as a boy. At this time I knew nothing about being transgender and transitioning, so to me he was a girl who was crossdressing and insisting he was a boy... Everything in my life up to that point had lead me to believe that was how things worked, so even though I had a female avatar and I presented feminine, I insisted that I was a boy too, since I didn't know better.
I remember his favorite dinosaur was a pterodactyl, and I remember showing him Quetzalcoatlus and Hatzegopteryx, the largest pterosaurs. I remember that he was a big fan of Tegan and Sara, and the song 'Back In Your Head' to this day still makes me think of him. I remember him showing me a drawing of one of them and me asking if that was him, and him saying "I wish!"
I remember feeling embarrassed when the topic of what I don't like about my body came up. I admitted to him that I had body hair and I felt so ashamed and embarrassed and uncomfortable with that fact, and he just laughed, not because of my agony but because it was such an innocent thing to be embarrassed by. Of course I had body hair, I was going through male puberty.
I remember we talked a lot over AOL and MSN, he explained being trans to me and that I could change my body through Hormone Replacement Therapy and suddenly everything just clicked. My bleak outlook on life changed to having a glimmer of hope, and from then on I was a girl, even if I didn't tell anyone and guarded it as my deepest darkest secret.
I remember him calling me cute whenever I'd roleplay giving him kisses and I remember developing a crush on him, and him rejecting me because I wasn't his type since he was gay and only attracted to men. I remember feeling sad and confused while also feeling validated because when I offered to be a boy for him, he told me no because he knew me better than to ever expect that.
I remember him helping me to pick a name, I ended up deciding on Sophie, and he suggested it be Sophia and I just go by Sophie. I was Sophie for years and years up until I finally actually went through with making the appointment to start HRT. Between then and when I finally decided I wanted to be Monica, I was Sophie online and my deadname in person.
I've lost all contact with him... I don't even remember what his username was or where I could look to find him. I'll probably never speak to him again, but he changed my life and I'm super grateful that I met him. I think about him a lot every once in a while and I really miss him. I can't help wondering how he's doing, I wish so badly I could see him again and show him how far I've come.
I'll probably never see him again, but I'll never forget him.

Super pleased with how this ultimately came out when I finished drawing it, should be very useful in the future. :D
I made myself a nice paper doll of my troll! Now I can just draw any outfit I want over top her without having to draw her all over again.
The Atal'Zandali Dinosaur Parade is happening tomorrow evening!
Now that the Zandalari have been allied with the Horde for over a year, the annual Atal’Zandali dinosaur parade is happening once again this year! The celebration will be for one day on March 28th, 2020 on Wyrmrest Accord. Opening Ceremonies: Hot House at 5:00 PM (PST) Dinosaur Parade: The Zocalo at 6:00 PM (PST) Closing Ceremonies: Warbeast Kraal at 8:00 PM (PST) Let’s make the second Atal’Zandali celebration another to remember!
I would like to announce that Zuldazar Menagerie will be celebrating our second anniversary today, November 10th at 7:00 PM WrA server time! There will be food, drinks, dancing, and in honor of our second year we now have a guild ship, where the partying will take place! The OOC location will be aboard the Rezan's Claw docked at Tusk Isle; the IC location is aboard our as-of-yet unnamed guild ship! I drew this with paper and pencil, then scanned it and digitally added text and colored it.
