[X] Kiss Her
Also here are some pictures of our girlfail Disney Princess brought to you by the Bing AI.
Agreed, for that matter my favourite art of warhammer elves is the (unfortunately too-rare) instances where they lean into the inhumanity, like the art for Alith Anar, or that greyscale piece of a spearelf from the 6e army book, where their faces are starkly narrow and angular, and their eyes are just outright black, like Roswell aliens. This is Warhammer, the elves aren't here to be pretty and soft, they're here to sneer and stab a motherfucker.These are awful. I can say this without a single hint of shame, because they're AI and insulting them is just a mechanism for insulting scraping-based copyright infringement.
But they're also awful becuase they're not all a Warhammer elf. They have Generic Anime Elf Ears (not at all like Warhammer Elf Ears) and likewise they have nothing of Druchii style or aeshetic about them.
Werent they like that before being battle hardened and bittered when Chaos come knocking by destroying the Polar Gates and invaded the World That Was?
Nobody knows. That's like, before-written-history stuff, we have barely scraps of implication what that time period looked like.Werent they like that before being battle hardened and bittered when Chaos come knocking by destroying the Polar Gates and invaded the World That Was?
Even before the Dark Elves split off to follow Malekith and the Wood Elves settled at Alith Anar?
Keep her involvesAm I seriously the only one here who sees the "Keep Her" option as the one that opens most varied drama? We can do wholesome overprotectiveness ("No mistress, no going out until you're hale and hearty or so help me Khaine"), we can do semi-wholesome Just A Caretaker act in a Wormtounge/Lana Raith from Dresden Files ("So you see, mistress, those terrible scions of so-and-so try to take advantage of your condition and drive us against the Temple of Khaine, and we can't allow for it, can we?"), we can genuinly just keep her asleep and dig for secrets ("TELL ME EVERYTHING YOU OLD HAG!").
Also, if she's sleeping in our lab, we can at any moment try to wake her up for love or '''''love''''' if we so desire. So it's a win-win in my eyes.
I find the dynamic between them interesting and want to see how it is complicated by these recent, dramatic developments. It's hard to do that if we put her in Carbonite or whatever. It can generate drama and consequences, but it's less interesting drama and consequences than having to negotiate sudden changes to the very stark power imbalance that existed in this deeply toxic relationship.Am I seriously the only one here who sees the "Keep Her" option as the one that opens most varied drama?

Keep her involvesneveronly letting her wake up at our desire to interact.
She becomes a thing to possess, a doll to be put on a shelf to be interacted with at our leisure.

I don't care about practicality at all and, in point of fact, am voting for the option that I feel will make Thrysta's life the most difficult on purpose, because that seems like it's the most interesting outcome. So I suppose we're at an impasse here.but I sometimes like to be a cold-hearted bastard and make choices in the interest of practicality first, drama second.
At least we understand our respective opinions.I don't care about practicality at all and, in point of fact, am voting for the option that I feel will make Thrysta's life the most difficult on purpose, because that seems like it's the most interesting outcome. So I suppose we're at an impasse here.
