idk I think like

I know, having written fic, that it's a lot of work, and that by even putting it out there, you're doing a lot of work

But also I see a lot of posts that are like 'It's so easy to comment! You should just do it!' and like

no lmao

it isn't. I think it's dismissive of the effort a lot of people put into their comments, and the emotional energy that often goes into writing them. It's a different kind of skill to be able to express your reaction in a way that you are happy with. I understand that people want comments, but I think we can acknowledge that want without devaluing the time and labor that goes into them.

I understand why people are having the comments discussion. But I wish we could move it away from speaking so reductively about the practice.

SIDDIG: A lot of gay men at that time, and maybe even gay women, kinda responded to the Bashir character. I think that was because of (Garashir), and maybe the bravery of not only that, but also an implicitly Muslim character being potentially gay, potentially bi, potentially gay if they’d explored that route. That is something Garak brought with him to the party, a bottle of implied homosexuality…

LLOYD [interviewer]: So were you aware in the 90s that it was homoerotically charged and on board with that? SIDDIG: I was aware of it in the back of my mind, yes, absolutely, and encouraged it. At my first meeting with Garak I became visibly flustered. That was entirely my choice. It wasn’t written into the script. So I set off in that direction right from the get-go. And Andy (Andrew Robinson) obviously loved it, and that character became a series-long character because of that first scene…

LLOYD: That’s really cool. We’ve heard a lot of times about how Andy and Garak were on board from the start but I don’t know that I’ve heard before that you were on board from the start. SIDDIG: I subconsciously keep that door open with just about every character that I play, and I always keep it as ambiguous as possible. One of my first roles was in A Dangerous Man: Lawrence After Arabia with Ralph Fiennes and I played Feisal and again, not in the script, but that was charged with homoerotica and implied homosexuality. I’d just come fresh off that project. And I’ve done it numerous times since, characters that are written straight I just make sure are not quite straight. That’s just one of my things, probably because I’m not quite straight myself and that’s probably perfect.

oh my god god god god god my dad just tried to complain about me wearing earrings with ghosts on them because they're "not very festive" so i said Well Actually ghosts are very appropriate for christmastime and he said tell you what if you can show me a single christmas themed thing that has ghosts in it i won't say another word about your fashion choices this entire holiday. i Promise. so i got him to lean in realllllll close as i opened up the browser app on my phone and slowly began to type "A CHRISTMAS CAROL" while the blood rapidly drained from his face.

let’s talk about ‘the saga begins’ tho

Don McLean was reportedly pleased with “The Saga Begins”, a parody of “American Pie”, and told Yankovic that the parody’s lyrics sometimes enter his mind during live performances. His parody not only replicates the music from the original Don McLean song, but it replicates the multi-layered rhyming structure in the verses and chorus. Additionally, George Lucas loved the song and a Lucasfilm representative told Yankovic, “You should have seen the smile on his face.”

When I see discussions about Solas’s fear of dying alone, I often see the interpretation that Solas just doesn’t want to be alone in the literal sense. He wants friends, a partner, someone to hold his hand at the end. And while I don’t think those things are untrue… Solas’s fear of dying alone is about being the last of his kind. The last ancient elf. The last spirit who took on a physical form. The last being from a time and world where magic was as natural as a breeze, where everything sang the same. He wants someone, or multiple someones, who can sing back to him.

And he finds that in the Inquisitor, especially if romanced. In Veilguard, Lavellan sings back to him in the cadence of the ancient elves. I don’t think she even knows she’s doing it; she’s become so in sync with him just by loving him. Singing with him has become as natural as a breeze to her.
