#'what if you hate the pc'

[bamsara]

are you actually cancelling the shipment of the new laptop or was that a joke?

It's a joke but. What if I did auuugh

Making big purchases like this give me anxiety to a heavy level because low key I feel like I'm wasting money and that I don't need it because Arson, even though he's clearly not meant to last a lot longer in that shell and is corrupting and losing files, is still booting up and therefore I feel like I've done this 'too early' and that I don't deserve to get the new pc

Like I KNOW I need it and it will help me immensely but. You know

was rewatching fabian’s baron moment on account of it being the most delicious piece of pvp in my recent memory and ally beardsley’s growth as a player just shone through so brightly and with such clarity. after dusting off their shock they immediately asked about the nemesis ward, had enough knowledge about fellow pcs stocked to remember adaine’s ac with such like frustrated confidence and certainty, suggested to siobhan to dimension door out of adaine’s room, like. they came into this making a character with 4 dex. and now the dice deity offered to roll a check to sense if adaine was in danger. making decisions, asking questions, getting invested in the story, trying so hard with the tools they have to save characters from danger; ally beardsley is an incredible d&d player.

The tragic idea that the Betrayers loved their siblings so much that it ended up being what drove them apart. They didn't want to settle for anything that could hurt their family, and mortals were doing so, either directly (a mortal usurping one of them) or indirectly (emotionally hurting them during the Schism by just. dying so much). To the Betrayers, it wasn't worth it. They wanted their beloved family to leave and go somewhere that wouldn’t hurt them.

To them, it's the primes who are the betrayers. The primes were motivated by more than just love for their immediate family - they loved their creation, too, and more than that, felt a responsibility for it. They would rather fight their own siblings than leave it.

We saw all the gods love and protect each other during the opening of Downfall. The Betrayers were not uniquely evil from the start. They wanted to save themselves and their family from hardship and suffering, even if it meant leaving their creation, their game, and in response their siblings locked them away. Not only do they not love mortals, they view mortals as this corruptive force that somehow turned their family against them. Do they think that, if they succeed in exterminating them, the Primes will be freed from their influence? Maybe - perhaps some of them are waiting to forgive and embrace their siblings, but far from all, I suspect. Asmodeus certainly expressed during Calamity that he didn’t so much want to be reunited with his siblings as he wanted to punish them. He was betrayed by the ones he loved most for the sake of a game! Maybe togetherness and forgiveness was once an obtainable goal, but not anymore. Even if the Betrayers succeeded in ending Exandria, the Primes would never forgive them, and they would never forgive the primes. Their family can never be whole again because of, as they see it, the toxic influence of mortals. So they hate mortals for this influence, but more than that, they hate their siblings for being so weak as to fall for it.

aiden def followed bailey around even in their youth ward days taking note of his characteristics and how he behaves dealing with """clients""". they admire baileys power and wants it SO BAD. bailey ofc was like stop following me around you FREAKOZOID and theyre like but sir ^^ i admire your work ethic. and with how quickly they accept the debt requirement bailey does not have Good Feelings about aiden. not because hes weirded out its bc how quickly aiden accepts this dog eat dog world. how they quickly navigate and weave themselves in rapechestershire. thats why hes not even surprised when aiden eventually becomes a magnate. he doesnt like them, but at least their company isnt nearly as annoying than the other things he has to deal with.

i'm going to take a break from being on here for a while, until the veilguard hate calms down or until i no longer care, whichever comes first. i went from being really excited to create in this fandom to being bitterly disappointed and unhappy in less than 2 weeks. if a character's mere existence makes you feel justified in platforming your bigoted opinions and being vicious to people who like them maybe try some personal reflection instead. it's honestly triggering to be under a constant state of anxiety that if i breathe wrong or act too excited about something i love the wrong person might see it and i'm going to get crucified for it, literally just because other people can't stand to see someone happy over something they don't like.

every time i think about taash now it comes with a wave of sadness and stress because i know that the fact that i like them makes me a target for bullying. you guys need to seriously get crucial. you're a grown adult video game blogging on tumblr, you do not have the right to be this up your own ass.

anyway i'm leaving to enjoy the game in peace and write my little fanfics for myself. mutuals who want to stay in touch can add me on discord @elminsters if you want, but i'm not really good at dming so don't expect much.

i think the problem w the solavellan interactions or specifically lavellan speaking w rook in veilguard is that we can only influence our inq through rooks dialogue options. had there been a way to play as the inquisitor even in a cutscene or a small chunk of the game and choose their stance and feelings it wouldn't have felt so bleh and sort of a "she would not say that" moment (to me at least bc gan'freya would def show up to whoop the evanuris LMAOOOO)

also it's weird because when we imported hawke into the keep you could choose her personality, veilguard doesn't give that option for inq which i found so strange? sorry my babygirl doesn't sit & mope around she likes stealing and also bullying her husband for his delusions of grandeur

DM, on getting together to talk about backstory stuff I have to have him build with me: I might need to ask a few more questions about Felix and also what drives him besides curiosity

me: is curiosity not enough??

also me: well the other major thing was supposed to be solving this mystery that I asked for your cooperation with six months ago and have never gotten any input on

"Bailey's Little Shadow"

enjoy this kid damsel doodle while i share some rambles I already shared with wafer ♡

Damsel doesn't remember too much o her early childhood, but she does have vivid memories of always trying to stick by Bailey's side. she quickly grew out of this in her teen years but pre disappearance she was still a people pleaser who did her best to never disappoint him. post disapprance Damsel doesn't share this sentiment. but...she [begrudgingly] still has a sense of respect [and maybe even a hint of her former idolization] towards Bailey. very, VERY deep down. current Damsel hates Bailey...kinda. on one hand, Bailey is objectively awful [and also he steals her money >:( ]...but he's also very smart.

she understands fundamentally that essentially being a kingpin [like she views Bailey to be] is the easiest way to live in this fucked ass town. she almost admires his unshakable coldness, his ability to be unaffected. so in a way she starts to take aspects of him to make her. Bailey says money is everything so she monopolizes information because getting info is what she's good at. she plays the easy to talk to bubbly girl [something she learned from watching Bailey put on his caring caretaker front] so it's easy to get people to trust her because unlike Bailey, she's small and has basically no arm strength. she has no intimidation factor, except her uncanny ability to know everything, status/relationships, and money. she has nothing to give her a leg up physically so she has to play into her other strengths.

now she is subconsciously modeling herself after the way that she sees Bailey - so if you asked her why she wants to own people, to be powerful and influential, she'd never mention that it comes from Bailey. shes happily not acknowledging that she thinks he's smart because she also thinks he's an ass lol. she will NEVER acknowledge that she still in some way idolizes a man that she also hates [if that's what you want to call her feelings. she definitely will.]

[uncanny-tranny]

My disability-adjacent hot take is that subtitles alone aren't really enough. I have trouble differentiating where sound comes from, for instance, so it's wildly helpful to have clarification on where sound is supposed to be coming from (right versus left, ect).

On a related note, if your subtitles are not clear, accurate, or translated in the case of foreign language, your subtitles aren't good. I don't want to read a paraphrased, censored version of what people are saying. I want to know exactly what they're saying because omitting even one word can dramatically change the tone, implication, and the entire meaning of what is said.
