So I got this completely normal ask a couple days ago, and my original answer was: “Nah, I like that stuff. That’s her being incredibly selfish when she cares really intensely about something. The tree thing sucked because it didn’t really involve any of the few things/people she genuinely cares about.”
And then I was thinking about how many of the stories are just about Sylvanas strong arming people to get what she wants, and how she WANTS THINGS so intensely and I was going to jokingly refer to her as a certain movie musical character, and then things just.. unraveled from there.
