#I’m just complaining

[weareinastormoffuck]

It’s always been annoying to me that basically every season they separate klaus from the group for a large amount of time to do pointless side quests but this season it just felt extra pointless. Like y’all have 6 episodes to do this in and instead of making klaus idk talk to his siblings and maybe prove that he’s changed and that he can stay sober even with his powers and lean on them and Claire for support, instead we have him being forced into prostitution for really no reason. And I understand why some people enjoyed it because it was in the comics and that’s valid. But I personally just felt like it added nothing to the show overall. And once again proved they have no idea what to do with klaus and how to make his character grow or change in a believable way. They always resort back to “haha he’s on drugs isn’t that hilarious”. Also they seemed to forget that during season one it was heavily implied that Diego and klaus were the only people still in each others lives at the beginning of the show and it just seems like that was forgotten. All of a sudden it’s now Allison who has always been there for him and him and Diego can barely stand next to each other much less actually speak.

I have a story about the punk show my roommate and I went to last night.

So during any concert or show I have to sit or else I will collapse from pain by the end. This exact thing happened 4 days ago at a concert where everyone around me on a lawn stood the entire time so the only way I could actually see anything was to stand up. I stood for almost 2 hours then collapsed in pain with swollen angles and numb heels

Anyway because I have to sit when watching shows, I usually sit in the ADA section (especially with punk shows) so I’m not pushed around, and so I can focus on the show instead of the pain I’m in. This would be the 3rd show I’ve seen at this venue and the other two didn’t have any problems. Except this time I did.

For starters, the ADA section was way too small. There were 3+ people with wheelchairs, and 2 people needing to sit the entire time, not including any friends/family that may need to help their person. This is the first time I’ve been to a show here with this many people in the section, so I don’t blame them for “not being prepared” but they could’ve moved barriers around for more space.

Secondly, people kept ignoring the barrier to the section. There were multiple times when people stood right up against it, bending the fabric barrier thing so they were practically in the section. People would also walk from behind so they didn’t have to walk through the crowd to get to the door to the smoking area (yeah the ADA section is *right* next to the patio door)

Thirdly, people kept on falling ONTO THE BARRIERS and falling not only into the section, but also onto people standing nearby (like my roommate) or people in the section (aka me). When falling over they would also use my arm/leg to get up, which made me uncomfortable because it felt more than just a simple support, they would GRAB my leg. These people included not only people moshing (not bouncing off of person wall full on running into them) but also just drunk people falling for no reason. The entire place was either way too overcrowded, or the mosh pit was way too big and people not paying attention.

By halfway through the main show (after 2 openers) I just stood outside for as long as I could waiting for my roommate and we left early.

I am extremely lucky that this is the first time I’ve experienced something like this at a punk show. But it made me realize that punk shows are definitely not accessible. Sure, the venue can try their best (and 2/3 of the times they did, and it worked) but even so there’s always gonna be people who do not pay attention to their surroundings, drink too much, or just do not care.

If I’m being honest, writing A Wolf’s Redemption is far more challenging than I initially expected. I knew finding a "lore-friendly" solution—one that makes at least some sense within the broader context of Dragon Age—would be the toughest hurdle. And, as it turns out, it absolutely is. But it's not the only hurdle.

TL;DR: I’m definitely overthinking this. I probably don’t need to be putting this much effort into making the fanfic sound believable—because, let’s be real, is anyone going to notice once we get there?

Me complaining below the cut, because it also has DATV spoilers.

Solavellan Hell:

- Striking the right balance in the narrative to ensure that Solas fully owns his responsibility while Lavellan supports him without taking over his role - Because this is his path to redemption, not hers. She is there to support, to help, to guide, to connect...but not actually be the ONE to solve the problem.

Portraying Solas:

1. Showing him being vulnerable/uneasy about working with others, while keeping his composure and doesn’t overall appear visibly nervous to others. 2. Avoids coming across as whiny (though, honestly, I don’t think he does—but readers may have differing opinions). 3. Balancing him still being a bit arrogant and instinctively being pulled back to his old ways out of habit, but also trying to show that he is resisting this pull.

Weaving together the established lore of DA with the new developments introduced in DATV.

Tackling the Blight:

- The shifting nature of the Blight in DATV, especially with Antoine and Evka discussing changes to the song. - The idea that it might now be harmonizing adds an intriguing and complex layer to address. - Concepts from lore and fan theories based on lore that talks about curing/weakening the blight and adding that into as a foundation for how Solas will cure/weaken/soothe the blight.

Harding's Companion Quest + Titans + Lyrium:

- The red lyrium they encountered is just angry lyrium, clarifying that it isn’t simply blighted lyrium. - Then connecting this information to information we learned about how the blight is created. - Taking information learned from Harding's companion quest and integrating it in to the theory of curing/weakening/soothing the blighted lyrium.

The 'Veilguard' and Rook:

I’m going to be honest—I’m completely ignoring them. There’s absolutely zero indication of what they’re doing afterward (besides presumably helping Thedas recover). The Veilguard was created by Varric to stop Solas. Solas was stopped. So… now what? I don't want to even try to touch that.

It’s just so much information to sift through and connect the dots to create something that sounds plausible. Honestly, I’m not even sure if it’s worth the effort—but I’m also a menace, and I need it to sound plausible. At the end of the day, making it plausible is more for my own satisfaction, with the hope that it also benefits and resonates with readers in a meaningful way.

Here’s what I don’t get. Okay.

If entire communities have made it a yearly habit to watch Over The Garden Wall during the fall season, multiple times, whose fucking decision was it to scrub it from (almost) all streaming services??? What is the point of streaming services if you take away the stuff people actually rewatch in place of…… what? Another reality show which is a take on a different reality show which was based on a different reality show??

I have a lot of fun with “isolated batfam gets discovered/revealed to JL” type fics but they all have a tendency to smash all the JL characterization flat. And make them stupid. Guys these are superheroes none of them are flag characters and none of them are stupid. Can we get a good isolated batfam discovery fic please please please

I hope we get an update to gathering and the hunger system one day. I just haven’t had the energy to even look at the flight rising site for like two weeks. But now that my dragons are starving it is going to be such a pain getting everyone fed again and wait to get all of my gathering turns- which makes feeding them HARDER- when I stopped to reserve some brain power in the first place. So my only other option is to just not log in for even LONGER until my dragons are auto fed. But then I’ll miss out on multiple site events.

It’s just kind of a round-about system that disincentives returning players who had to step away for any length of time, punishes you, even. Not enough that it’s not manageable, but as a person with adhd it has me glued to the spot unable to handle the annoyance.

Fuck, my sister got sick yesterday possibly from a Christmas party we went to a couple days ago and I thought I was fine since she’s mostly stayed in her room and I have a frankly ridiculously strong immune system but I’m getting that feeling of mine where I know I’ll wake up feeling sick in the morning. Usually I only get sick once every 2 or 3 years, and this year I’ve gotten sick twice in just one???

This sucksssssss!!!

A side effect of all of my driving to the vet with Skeeter is that my back is very unhappy. It comes and goes but I could hardly walk around yesterday. Today is better but it still hurts.

Still waiting for my weekend where nothing weird happens, my body feels reasonable, and I’m not super stressed about something.

It’s been a shitty Monday and it’s not even 9am.

my apologies to the IzuOcha fans, but bruh,,, alright, i’m catching up on MHA and every time that Uraraka’s arc gets interrupted by her pining over Deku, i swear it’s so painful. i’ll admit that IzuOcha is a cute pairing and i do relate to the whole “becoming super goofy over a crush”, but dude… duDEEEE.

she’s been my favorite character since the beginning. so much of her character is so relatable. i just want to see her grow as a person and a hero without having a romantic side plot.

like yes, i know it’s supposed to be cute. but nearly every conversation has been taken over by another character teasing her about her crush. i want to enjoy seeing Uraraka bond with Mina, Aoyama, or her other classmates without them referencing Deku constantly. it was adorable at first, but it has been every. single. conversation.

guys, i want to focus on her personal growth!!! like, girl, tell me about how you’re improving your martial arts! tell me about your new moves!! talk about your family!!! please i just want Uraraka to have non-romantic based conversations with her friends!!! please i’m cryingggg

((important note: please understand that i do find IzuOcha cute. i just think there’s a time and a place for romantic subplot. and it’s only frustrating bc it’s become a reoccurring theme for Uraraka’s character. it’s been the primary topic of most of her conversations since season 3. this isn’t happening with any other character, even Deku. i’m only at season 5, so maybe this will change. it’s just sucks that she’s growing so much, but most of her conversations are only focused on her crush, not her.))
