Epic Baby Post: the Dwarfling Edition

Nymphy is an arcane mage from the US-server Azuremyst. She is a well liked toon by people across other servers and time zones. She was recently felled not by an ordinary raid boss, but instead by a little 5-baby instance group with the buffs of Squee and Cute on their side.

Complete with her 4pc Tier Cute Bonus!

This time we come to say Happy Birthday to little Dwarfling. Teagan was just 5 months old when we saw her first. In just 7 short months she has gone from barely crawling to fully walking and even climbing up and down stairs. As well as giving her daddy Fannon a few heart attacks in between! It was not so long ago when he was proudly posting pictures of her like this:

Hmm... Prayer of Cuteness uptime is 100%, right where it should be

To posting pictures of her like this:

Fish give +90 Int/Cute when I'm well fed.

Teagan Lily is now her own girl with her daddy (and the rest of us!) around her little finger. Among fist bumping and high-fiving she also likes:

Favorite Foods: Bananas, strawberries, Cheddar Cheese and Fruit Yogurt.

Favorite Toys: She has two: A barnyard matching game that sings and plays music that she loves dancing to, and a miniature Bacardi rum bottle that she loves holding. Daddy is getting the feeling she's going to be a party girl. She also really enjoys banging tunelessly on piano keys.

(Re: the rum bottle Nymphy says: Oh my! Better watch out for that girl ;) )

Favourite TV Show: None, she isn't really interested in TV yet. But she does like it any time there is a show or commercial with a theme song. The So You Think You Can Dance theme song is probably her favourite; she always dances along with it.

Favourite Activity: Dancing. She dances pretty much any time a commercial comes on the TV with music to it. She dances to her musical toys, the radio or Daddy's singing. It's the most adorable thing he's ever seen.

As well as melting her daddy’s heart over and over by excitedly walking to him and squeezing his knees, thereby making her annoyance proof.

As always, this is one of my most favorite posts to write. Just because I get my dose of cute in it :) For the baby that started it all, Happy First Birthday Dwarfling! And thank you Fannon, for letting me borrow her these past few times.

And if you missed the first birthday post go here and wish #Sapling Happy Birthday as well as see extra pics that I threw in there because more pictures equal more cute equals more squee! :)

EXTRA CUTENESS BONUS ROUND!

Look at me now! I am going to get into SO MUCH TROUBLE!

You can’t possibly deny me with this face!

We Need an Effin' Healer

Orvillius doesn’t understand why EtI needs another healer. All of the current content has been nerfed to the point where the bosses might as well be using wiffle bats. Surely Team Heals can just 2 Heal....what’s that? Anyone suggesting Team Heals start 2-Healing can go without ANY heals? Right then... Hail Team Heals!

Nymphy is a mage with Eff the Ineffable and is super excited at the prospect of frustrating---er challenging a brand new healer. Maybe this will mean that she will finally get to go visit her Spirit Healer after so long. The current Healer Tyranny refuses to allow such frivolities.

   Due to the indefeatable boss stuck on perma-hard mode called Real LIfe, the Effers have found themselves in need of an intrepid player to willingly join the ranks of the tyrants known as Team Heal. So you find yourself interested are you? Oh dear...this is your chance to run! Run away as fast as you can possibly go! Are you still here? Fine, here’s what you need to know before you join the Effin’ Healers.

Orv is Gonna Get It! Or: Nymphy Comes Home to WAY too much Srsness.

Nymphy is an arcane mage who had to take a break from the internets for a week to deal with the Real Life Boss and comes back to find her funny and witty blog that she writes with Orv completely and utterly ruined by, not one, but two (two!) srs posts.

  See?! This is what happens when I leave. You, the reader, expect to find some humorous content to read in your spare time. Perhaps something to give you a chance to chuckle or smile in your busy day. Instead what did you find this week? Yeah, I hear you. Two srs posts by Orv. I apologize right now if he made you fall asleep. I mean, omgwtfbbq?, who wants to hear about pally talent trees? I lol’d at the names of their talents. All I could see is more of the same ego boosting abilities that I have to listen to Orv go on and on about every night. He tries to explain their importance to me but all I hear is that Peanuts teacher’s voice going blah blah blah I am so great blah blah blah. Orv! Get some real talents that read like mine! How about a little Torment(ing) the Weak or Incanter’s Absorption? Yeah, yeah, Blessing of Kings is great and all that, but you can find that buff a dime a dozen. How about feeling important when everyone is like “Ooh Nymphy! I want Focus Magic” and immediately starts parading their crit numbers in front of you? Yeah that’s right. We don’t need no prissy talents like Pursuit of Justice. You think Internet Dragons care about your pursuit of justice? Nope! Not a bit. They do care when they are on the receiving end of my Improved Arcane Missiles and Arcane Blasts.

  In all seriousness (in the midst of all the tanking is srs business posts) I hope that people got a lot out of the tanking posts. Orv is a super amazing tank (shh! don’t tell him! God I can feel his ego swell from over here!) and knows his stuff. He tanks for me both in game and out and saves my squishy self time after time, so I can vouch for his knowledge of things tankadin. And I fully support overthrowing Team Heals’ tyranny. But not officially, you understand. I mean they keep me alive in raids so if I were to out and out support this venture I would see my floor time increase dramatically followed by suspicious claims that I broke Line of Sight. While standing in the middle of an open field. So never fear readers, your laughs are incoming... as soon as I clean up the mess Orv left around here!

Eff the Healers, Let's Have a Tank Circle!

Being a tank for Eff the Ineffable, Orvillius is particularly sensitive to the tyranny of healers. What with their members only healing channel and their posh sense of entitlement, seeing this Circle of Healers reboot floating around was just too much! Using ancient Paladin secrets (replacing ‘heal’ with ‘tank’), Orv reforged the healer meme into a mighty tanking meme.

1. What is the name, class, and spec of your primary tank?
Orvillius, human protection paladin, 0/31/10

2. What is your primary group tanking environment? (i.e. raids, pvp, 5 mans)
I mostly tank EtI’s 10 man raids. I used to pug weekly 25 mans in WotLK, but with the raid lockout change that became impossible.

3. What is your favorite cooldown for your class and why?
That’s a tough one, but I’m going to go out on a limb and say the new Holy Shield. It’s on a super short cooldown, so I can pop it any time I feel like my healers might need a little breathing room.
