Ok in a lot of video games, you'd have someone in your group that can do something cool, like talk to corpses, and then you never use it. Why do they do that.

Veilguard gave us a guy that talks to corpses and legitimately everyone in the group is solving problems by having this guy talk to corpses. He's talking to corpses left and right, I just had three separate cut scenes of corpse guy doing his corpse thing and I love it.

What kind of man would put a known criminal in charge of a major branch of government? Apart from, say, the average voter.

sometimes in the middle of a fight when the enemies are not on me, i step aside to look at my best bros and gals kicking ass... and they just barely manage without Rook 😂 it takes them so long to kill one stupid buff darkspawn which Rook could take out in like 5 swish swooshes of their knives by the end of the game. so i have no doubt they would do whatever it takes to get them back x)

it IS deeply endearing, a bit funny, and dare i say slightly concerning, that the veilguard got rook back before the endgame at all. i understand the emotional state they were in, but apparently at no point was anyone like “hey, that’s a lost cause and we should get the job done ourselves.” during this time gap, elgar’nan seizes minrathous and solas is handling the resistance. meanwhile these guys are like ok gang time to recreate the original sin and crack the black city 2.0 rather than live without rook for a month. priorities

They made bodies from the earth. And the earth was afraid. It fought back. But they made it forget

i think the real reason Lucanis has a coffee addiction is so the animators had an excuse to show just how good they are at making characters hold cups now.

like look at that. its not floating 6 inches away from his palms. it goes up and down with his hands. he's even got one hand on the handle itself! we've come so far since the hilarious joining chalice animation in Origins and Solas's cup of misery tea that floats 4 seconds behind his arm movements

Me, 55 hours into my playthrough of Veilguard: hmm, must be somewhere in the second half of the game?

Veilguard: end of act 1 ✨

Me: D:

Me, 87 hours into my playthrough: I've done every side quest, time to move onto the main mission, whoo boy, progress, probably will be ending this soon?

Veilguard, after the story quest has ended: 15 more side quests? 🥺 👉👈

Me: goddamit (affectionate)

Oops I drew Dorian again.

please, read my comics while I'm still in Veilguard up to my nostrils. (I need to finish it for pretty much therapy reasons, so that I could make better art).

habits update

probably the worst day to post a comic update (holiday weekend + sunday), but anyway, here's a new comic.

it's about how a yearly event has become a new habit. i did it for the sake of the habit and not the event this year x)

also, something something dragon age veilguard 👀

it's actually crazy how influential webcomics have been on the lexicon of anyone who came of age around or after the millennium, while also completely lacking the prestige and recognition that most cultural icons would have. people my age who have no goddamn idea who allie brosh is still regularly say "(x) ALL the things". "weeaboo" was a nonsense word from Perry Bible Fellowship before it was a 4chan filter replacing "wapanese". ryan pequin said "because of reasons" before borderlands did. "fap" came from sexy losers. i could go on. i know that's just how language works, but with webcomics and their easy ability to meme it feels like they are being divorced from their own influence way faster than any book or film.
