Around Azeroth: Will you stay in our lover's story?
At first glance, this appears to be a cute romantic close-up of married couple Sauge and Chellelier of Dark Alliance on Echo Isles (US-A). But with a little imagination, you can start seeing all sorts of dark subtexts. Is that halo over his head an attempt to maintain an angelic appearance in the face of wrongdoing? Is she nuzzling his neck or checking him for hickeys? And since there's no object collision in this game, do they have their arms around each other, or are they simply ripping each other's hearts out of their ribcages?

Smelling for another's perfume.

I think my caption would have been more towards either a sister or lover bidding her beloved a fond farewell, as he decided to become a champion of the light.
Congrats Sauge! Told you this was a good screenshot. Glad you sent it to them!

Don't fall for it Sauge! It is a trap!

With a couple of Kooks
Hung up on romancing

That's a very sweet pic! It's difficult to get a shot where it looks like avatars are interacting.
I like his pairing of Spring Robes with a white shirt. This fashionista approves.
Judging by the ground texture, I bet that's Nagrand. Man, I know WoW too well.

"Oh, honey! We made this beautiful and sweet screenshot showing how much we love each other! Let's submit it to WoW Insider's screenshot column and show the world our love!"
"Certainly, dear! Anything you for you!"
--The next day--
"Oh, look! Our screenshot is featured! Now everyone knows how much we love... wait. Wrongdoing? Hickeys? RIPPING OUT EACH OTHER'S HEARTS?! This isn't how I wanted it at all!"

I'm an incurable romantic. I'm going with "nice picture!"

Dear Elizabeth Wachowski,
Is there something your not telling us? Something not quite right in your relationships? The readers here care and would like to help. You know, if you need a shoulder or something.

Bonus points for referencing a David Bowie song in the title.

Let's dance, put on your red shoes, and dance the blues.

The draenei is just pulling the night elf closer as she viciously rams his front teeth with the dermal keratin plate on her forehead.
...What?

Thank you! Yeah, not quite the caption I'd want, but whatever. Yes, it's Nagrand. They cropped out the lovely picnic basket! And you can't see the Gift of Cenarius on the ground. I liked his choice in outfits, but I did help pick it out.

It's a beautiful pic and it's cool to know it's you and your wife. May you always be happy.

Male Night Elf model.
Still blockey and hideous, no matter what you dress it up in.
