“Jayvik hug” this “jayvik hug” that, what about Jayvik “bridal carried that man and frantically ran through that building and left everyone else behind bc he had to save him”. What about that.

PART 1 / PART 2 / PART 3 / PART 4

What’s really jumping out at me on my second playthrough is that the writers of the first three games understood that your character was the main character. The Veilguard writers clearly thought that the main characters were their characters, the companions.

Every scene is about setting the companions up as cool or competent or sympathetic. Often, this is done at Rook’s expense. The companions get all the witty one-liners; Rook’s attempts at humor not only frequently fall flat, but are frequently called out for falling flat (even when they’re completely automatic and the player has no say in them).

The companions have all the knowledge and skills; Rook just brought them all together and gives them all pep talks so they can focus. I’m trying to edit out all of the comments where Rook is like “Um… what????” from my videos, and let me tell you, it takes WORK. There are A LOT of them. I can count on one hand the number of times when the Inquisitor or Hawke comes across as dumb, but it seems to be a built-in, unavoidable part of Rook’s character. I have not selected a single “purple” option in all of Act 1, and Rook is still coming across as the kid who tries to be the class clown to cover for the fact that he’s always confused. Rook’s role in most scenes is to say “Uhhh… what?” so that the companions look smart.

Rook is always the one offering sympathy and never the one getting it. No one actually comes to comfort you after Varric’s death. No one asks you how you’re feeling about having to lead the team now that Varric is gone. No one tries to reassure you or give you advice for dealing with the trickster god haunting your dreams. We’re told that Neve could keep Solas out of your head, but she never actually offers to do this for you. No one comforts a Shadow Dragon Rook when Minrathous is destroyed or a Grey Warden Rook when Weisshaupt is destroyed. Rook’s problems don’t matter. Only the problems of main characters matter.

Rook is a secondary character in their own story.

On this Valentine’s Day please don’t forget about the Palestinian people. Candy is being bought in droves while innocent people are starving. While people are planning romantic dinners for their lovers, Palestinian people are losing their lovers to bombs and snipers. There is no rest for the Palestinian people today. Don’t let them mask what’s really happening behind pink ribbon. Fight for love, find empowerment in your love for others. We will not stop fighting, not for a single day. Palestine will be free.

Shoutout to kremy lecroux to being the most character ever. Like genuinely just a fucking genius creation. He loves unicorns. He can’t help but just use all the people around him for his gain. He says whattadoo. He lies and manipulates so much that getting cursed to not lie for a few hours gives him a panic attack. He’s a fucking alligator. He somehow manages to be in the messiest situationship with his bodyguard slash best friend slash goon slash maybe the only person he really trusts in the world while also being Literally Married to him but STILL failing to communicate his feelings to. He’s a fucking alligator. He looks like this

jayce and viktor seeing each other with no armour nor weapons in their final conversation together. jayce and viktor speaking face to face with both who they were and what they’ve become. jayce and viktor both having white hair and bodies in their projections; they are pure and good when faced with one another at the end. jayce and viktor holding one another in their final moments, and being with the one person they’d rather be with than anyone else. jayce and viktor who both started and ended this. jayce and viktor whose love changed the world. jayce and viktor…

I keep thinking about their sex scene. How Caitlyn was trying to be so gentle but Vi wasn’t having it. How Caitlyn didn’t want to take too much and Vi finally let herself take everything she could get. How she didn’t let Caitlyn treat her like glass, how Vi needed Caitlyn so badly. How Caitlyn wanted to be honest, how Caitlyn wanted to be perfect for Vi, and how that’s not what Vi wants or needs. There’s no needing each other to not change and there’s no needing everything to be perfect, there’s no saying no to fate anymore, they need each other and they love each other and they’re MASSIVE LESBIANS IM STARTING TO TWEAK WTF

i’ve been thinking about getting fucked with a strap that’s a little too big. whining while they slowly inch it in, using shaky hands to try to spread myself open better. letting them drag me closer, push my legs back more, anything to try to fit it inside me. feeling more full than ever, looking up with watery eyes to ask, “is that it? is it in all the way?”

a firm rock of their hips drags a sob out of me, and by the time i look down i see nothing but their harness bumping up against me. i don’t have to look up to know they’re grinning smugly at me.

“it is now.”
