I think some people should maybe not talk about how Mel x Jayce is a waste of screen time, not because I dislike that they don’t like the ship but because they usually then talk about how Mel is so annoying and all these thinly veiled ways of saying they HATE that not only does a woman have the audacity to “get in between” their gay ship, but a BLACK woman at that.

It’s just annoying having to block all of that out while trying to see more appreciation for Mel.

It’s not just about surviving; it’s a dream for a simple, safe life, far from the sounds of bombing and the smell of smoke. At 15, I have big ambitions despite my young age.

My story is more than a plea for survival; it’s a call to fulfill a long-delayed dream—to complete my studies and build a new life for my family, away from fear and daily challenges.

I lost two of my uncles in this war, adding to my family’s pain as we try to hold on despite harsh conditions. Even the basics have become hard to get, and their costs add to our daily struggle.

You might feel powerless, but you can give my family hope. Your support offers me a chance to build a new future full of hope and optimism.

Do not despair of the elections, you can save a family and give it hope. With your support, you give me a chance to overcome the pain and build a new future full of hope and optimism.

To support my family here🇵🇸

She has risen, babygirl! Inquisitor Mirage Lavellan, my beloved 💕

I love that she heard Rook and the crew were trying to dig up dirt on her ex and was like "besties, do I have just the thing for you!" I just know her and Morrigan were giggling as they headed to the eluvian, excited to have new people to gossip with.

do not forget about reservations.

do not forget about the people on reservations.

when you are making and reading posts about dire predictions for quality of life, do not forget about reservations.

we already have issues accessing clean water. we already experience devastation from climate change. we are already going missing for our race. we are already being murdered for our culture.

it will only get worse.

it’s possible to live through. every single person indigenous to north america has a chance to live through this. i’m not trying to fear monger; i’m trying to remind you.

please do not forget about us when you assure people that “everything will be okay; people are living under far worse circumstances in other countries”.

people are living under far worse circumstances here. and it can get worse. and it will get worse. and we need you to remember that we’re here when it happens.

Why do the Lords of Fortune outfits kinda look like something straight from the closet He-Man and the Masters of the Universe?

For all of the superficial "care" Dragon Age has taken toward representation and against bigotry, I still maintain that the cruelest thing the writers did was the complete obliteration of elven/Dalish culture.

To have the marginalized, enslaved, diaspora race trying to hold on and reconnect with their heritage for 2.5 games, only for you to turn around and say "Actually their gods and people were the evil slavers all along and they've been giving themselves slave markings because they're so ignorant and don't know any better" is... nauseating to me.

Maybe I'm taking it too personally. But it's giving "you people sold yourselves into slavery." "Their barbaric religion is actually full of monsters and demon worship."

I was holding out hope this would turn out not to be true, or at least their would be some pushback or alternative perspective from other elven NPCs. It looks like that is not the case. And for that reason - I'm out.

(But if I say Solas espouses textbook fascist ideology couched in the rhetoric of liberation because the writers don't understand what liberation is, I'm the bad guy lol.)

I don't know how to verbalize this properly because I'm frustrated and I've been frustrated and tired for so long.

I don't have sympathy left for white liberals putting on a song and dance of how these election results are a huge blow to their mental health and everyone checking in with everyone "don't do anything you can't undo! take care of yourself! go to therapy! make sure you talk to someone!"

And I think it's because of just how these same people saying that shit were the ones talking down to Palestinians constantly about our personal decision surrounding the vote. To them, this is the worst case scenario. Power shifting hands from one warmongering egomaniac to another. Ignoring the fact that, to us, the worst case scenario has already happened and has been happening for over a year.

I am keeping up hope because I owe it to the people in Gaza to be hopeful about the future -- their future.

But speaking on myself, I have not been okay for a long time. I am not the same person I was a year ago. I am tired and nothing in my life feels worthwhile. I don't even feel like a person anymore.

And I have to watch white people who are, as we speak, sending harassment to my friends and other Palestinians, cry and whine about how it's the end of the world.

Did you check in with your Palestinian friends (assuming you have any with the way you act) when the world ended for them?? Do you regularly check in with your Palestinian friends who don't feel normal anymore? Who haven't felt normal for a while? Who don't even remember what normal feels like?

Or are we just expected to stay strong and hold your hand when you're sad?

I speak to you with the voice of humanity 🙏💔

My name is Sama. I live in Gaza under very difficult conditions. No one can bear this suffering. I have lost many of my basic needs and my right to live with dignity. This war has robbed me of the simplest things that used to make me happy. My dreams have died under the rubble of my destroyed home. I hope that life will return to us, me and my family, through your help by donating even a little. You are our only hope to rebuild our lives before the war.

Oh my God, these are hellish days. We run away from death, but death threatens us at every moment.

We thought it was fireworks, but it was bombs exploding and some terrifying sounds of rockets. We didn't know what was happening around us from the horror of the scene. When I saw that, I only thought about my family and my little brothers. I wanted to protect them from that.😭😭

Save my brother they are not at fault in this crazy war

We had a beautiful life that went with the wind as if it never existed, taking all the beautiful memories.

Please donate for this family, for their children, for my pregnant mother who cannot find food or medicine to protect her fetus.

Donation rate of $5

DAtV Spoilers for a big choice made after the Grey Warden is recruited

"Neve has been hardened, it will be harder to gain approval"

GIRL, I DON'T CARE!! THAT'S BESTIE! SHE IS THE LOVE OF MY LIFE! She can feel however she wants, I’m never gonna give her up!

I’m glad she feels safe enough to be openly upset with Rook over a situation they both know was so incredibly fucked!
