You’re sure to gobble up this group of wonderful pictures from readers who donned both feathers and beak in celebration of Turkey Day, 2008!
There’s been a lot of hullabaloo in the blogosphere about the Midsummer Fire Festival lately. I’ve been appalled at the participation of several Restoration Druid bloggers, including a brutally graphic video by Leafshine and a detailed guide of the most efficient path to visit the bonfires by Pookies (one would hope with the intention of dousing them). Lossemenel from Elune’s Guidance writes about witnessing frenzied hooligans frolicking around roaring bonfires and dancing around poles that I think not coincidentally happen to be made of wood. Doodle from HoTs & DoTs even shares a horrific story of deliberate self-conflagration.
Apparently, it’s incumbent upon me to point out that it’s a FIRE festival. We are TREES. This festival is clearly classist/specist. Just say NO to Fire Blossoms! BAH, HUMBUG!
P.S. Speaking of fire-related things, Kael’thas Sunstrider can DIAF for not dropping my [Phoenix Hatchling].

Sorry, the comment form is closed at this time.
but but…I’m not a tree yet!! thats ok right? cuz the dresses were SO pretty!!!
I assure you that I was 1) revering the alliance fires for their capacity to burn my sorry tree ass, and 2) desecrating the horde fires before they got a chance to set me on fire!!!! <3
I’ve got the same Phoenix Hatchling problem over here. Must be some kind of druid related bug. As well as there is never ever a baby crocodilisk in the Bag of Fishing Treasures. Neither the Sinister Squashling showed up for me nor Mojo wanted to kiss me. It seems to be a curse even the mightiest druid isn’t able to dispell.
-insert big sigh here-
I figured you trees were just really into the whole pleasure/pain concept…
ROFL. Yes, Midsummer isn’t exactly nice to trees indeed.
Oh, and you totally owe me a keyboard for this. It didn’t take well to coffee.
Shame on all Druids who participate in this atrocious holiday! Make love, not fire!
@Lady Jess: YOu should be ASHAMED of yourself! How does that dress look on you when you’re in TREE form? Hmmm???
@Pookies: Hahaha. Well. I guess that’s okay.
@Nebelmond: Awww! I don’t know if it’s necessarily a class-wide curse. I got my Toothy’s Bucket from the Fishing Daily a few weeks ago. /ducks
@Softi: I’ve heard some trees beat themselves with their own switches.
@Gwaendar: Haha, I’m glad to hear it!
@Josh: MAKE LOVE NOT FIRE! should totally be on a Tree-Shirt. What do you think?
Does everyone’s feet as well as hands look on fire when you’re wearing the 3 pieces? I gathered them all on my current main, a tauren, and only the hands look on fire. But on the internet and the few times I’ve seen others in game it looks like they are dancing in fire. But I haven’t seen another tauren yet.
Is this yet another fun thing taurens don’t get? If i had known that I would have spent the flowers on the pet. Not enough days are left to get enough flowers for anything else.
@Yunk: If you get the sandals, it looks like your feet/roots are on fire (you have to click them). Clicking on the vestments make you dance and your hands catch on fire. The shoulders don’t have any visible effect in Tree of Life. It does look like the vestments/sandals work in Bear Form, too, though. “Only YOU can prevent forest fires,” says the Feral Druid.
