I was just complaining about Dandadan fans being weirdly against shipping but after seeing the BNHA fandom's behavior uh. i get it now.

like. if someone is capable of convincing me that having the viper be the black divine is a good idea, by all means. but i struggle to understand it beyond a weird first draft idea that should be treated as just that, a weird first draft idea that isn't canon.

overall i think the game is missing out on really involving the elves in a thoughtful way, and that includes the shadow dragons. so unless your rook is a shadow dragon and an elf, all of the major shadow dragons(i include dorian in this, even though he's technically an ally, i guess) are humans save for lorelei, the merchant? and save for tarquin, they're all mages, folks who have at least some standing in tevinter society. i haven't read the supporting novels/comics so i don't know all of the details surrounding mae and neve's backstories--but even though mae's been stripped of her magisterium seat and presumably faces discrimination in tevinter as a trans woman, she has had some level of privilege as an altus (she was a magister with a magister parent, so i'm assuming that's the accurate social class to put her in). dorian has been harmed by societal homophobia, but he is still an altus with a seat in the magisterium. the viper is, at minimum, an altus. elves are rescued from slavery, aided and supported by the shadow dragons, which is great, but they lack agency. they aren't the leaders of their own movement, they aren't even a strong consideration. a group of people, mostly human mages, can attempt to change tevinter by installing a new archon, theoretically for the benefit of elves (the primary victims of tevinter slavery), without including a single elf in the conversation, or even considering if their opinion should matter.

it is, imo, shortsighted at best to have the group of fantasy freedom fighters/abolitionists to mostly be controlled by the privileged, especially without making any commentary on that and the potential issues with it, especially if the writers' intent (even if not officially confirmed) is to make one of their advisors the leader of the imperial church, which seems to still be relevant and powerful in tevinter society, even with the magisterium. putting aside the logistics of the viper not getting caught, is tevinter just so corrupt that there's no real difference for him to make within his own station? is he unwilling to use whatever political power he has as divine because it'll expose him to personal danger? would it compromise the shadow dragons? why would that not be a problem in itself given the goal is to end slavery in tevinter, if the dragons' ability to take decisive action is stymied by their own leadership? why not keep the viper as an ally, a patron, a sympathizer with means to support with no decisionmaking power (even that has its issues, if you think about corporate capture of regulatory bodies/nonprofits)?

like, to my knowledge this is information people have gotten through datamining, so i don't take it as canon, but like...if we're gonna treat this as canon, i would like to think about the implications of it beyond how surface-level cool it is for fantasy abolitionist batman to secretly be the fantasy imperial pope. consider that yes, these are people with good intentions, but they do not exist absent the power structures they grew up in.

I love @ooctlt and wanted to give it a try! Ty for letting me steal them for a little bit, they are all yours again

[chariix-creates]

Genuinely how is cross some of the best, most relatable trans representation I've ever seen, without it even being a SMIDGE canon.

[petrifiedperi-au]

The crossover of the century PART TWO! ...OR THREE. TECHNICALLY. This time with @paranormal-peri AND ITTY BITTY AU PERI! WHO BELONGS TO @cubbihue !!! >:D

It's always really funny when I remember that Petrified!Peri can possess people. And things. And other fairies. Because ghosts can do that. I love it so much BWAHAHA! I was gonna include the small lil' eye glowy thing that happens when they possess someone but alas, this is all my brain allowed me to do hGDOSUSOSUS 😭😭😭

Definitely gonna try and do more when I can, though!!! >:]

[capitalisticveins]

I think about the fact that Damien and FL were supposed to end up together a lot

[solargeist]

Mother spore and Xelqua. Mother spore taking care of Xelqua like he's one of her own, this has so much opportunities this is so cool, I wish I could put it into words but I have only the vibes

make mother spore a motherrrr

What if, now hear me out, power/vampire/monster/human swap?

oh i hear you!!!!!

what if they magically switched. no explanation, no cause, no way back.

follow-up ideas under the cut

Vampire Edd: little to no change. lack of sun poses a nuisance at worst. struggles with how the others have changed.

Monster Matt: quieter, more volatile. has some trouble adjusting. stares off into the distance a lot.

PowerTord: initially really disappointed he didnt switch with someone else, but gets over it pretty quick. almost immediately becomes obsessed with finding the limits of his powers. loses contact with the others aside from sporadic visits.

Tom: something integral to his being has been lost. doesnt talk for weeks at a time. never fully recovers.
