Guild Wars 2

So I was exploring Seraph’s Landing and found these two bulls chilling in their home. What struck me as strange is that there is not a single cow in this entire village. Now, I’m not exactly a farming expert, but from what I know, bulls without cows aren’t of much particular use in an agricultural sense beyond their magical transformation into beef. It’s possible they could be stud bulls, but I don’t recall seeing cows anywhere in the Harathi Hinterlands.

What also struck me as interesting is that there are bales of hay all over the place in Seraph’s Landing. This is interesting because listening to the ambient dialogue makes it clear that the people of Seraph’s Landing are low on food, yet they’ve gone out of their way to ensure that two large animals, who provide absolutely nothing of value to the people of Seraph’s Landing, are well fed.

It is apparent that the people of Seraph’s Landing love their gay bulls, and I would like to openly thank the developers for their representation of such a positive, inclusive community for gay livestock. It’s the little actions like this that ensure we will move into a happier, more harmonious future.

I couldn’t turn up much lore on The Bulls of Seraph’s Landing, but I was wondering if we could learn some more backstory about how this happy couple came to arrive in Seraph’s Landing, and how the town came to forge such a strong bond with them.

Now I just happen to have the farming expertise that you lack.

There was an interesting case many years ago where a stock breeder advertised a stud bull for sale in a newspaper. He provided a picture to go with the ad. When the ad was published, he saw to his shock that some city-boy photo editor had airbrushed out the, um, dangly bits lest some reader be offended. The breeder sued the paper and won, given that any actual farmer looking at that altered pic would conclude that the animal was not fit for the advertised purpose.

Looking at the image you provided, my expert eye immediately notices something missing. Take a close look between the hind legs of that “bull” on the right. Or even a far look. What’s missing should be quite notably present on any bull in breeding condition.

Yep. Them h’ain’t bulls, Jethro. Them’s oxen!

That definitely cheered me up this morning. Hilarious.

I wonder if this bai-..er thread will be locked.

I came here ready to argue left pleasantly surprised thank OP for the laughs.

If you haven’t noticed yet, this game is pro same-sex romance. I won’t mention names but I’m sure you won’t miss it if you have played through the game.

Someone didn’t understand the post (or didn’t read), it was meant to be a joke.

Strong bulls are still used to plough the land sais the agricultural expert:"D (usually in group of 2 at plough)
PS: failed at the joke too:(

that´s the lightheartedness that would become both sides of this whole issue

The lovey bull is looking at the chicken though. Cheating on his buddy maybe?

Yeah. I was thinking they’d been bullockised but the chicken caught my eye.

I’m pretty sure that one of them was a cow before Lion’s Arch has been rebuilt.

OMG I think I just split a seam laughing at this

Maybe it is a Papal Bull. We know those religious heirarchy types have all sorts of odd tastes…

(yes, I know I am twisting the term of Papal Bull :p )

kitten you OP, for making this a Q&A thread. Now I can’t +1 you.
