Kidnapping, new family, threatening

Forevver alone

Some plot if you search hard enough

Reader is also a stripper

Reader has thicc thighs, they save and destroy lives

His wife cheated

Skeleton clown

I need to stop staying up so late

Mean thugs

 No beta reader we die like Epstein

Fake gecko disease, I don't know how geckos work

Does this count as monsterfucker if they were once human

Secret children

Y/n is definatly screwed in the head 

Slice of life, oral sex

Temporary character death

and you don't want to fuck this owl man but this is what you must do to survive

Kinks included

No Spoilers For Game of Thrones

I Can't Believe I Wrote This

non-consensual cannibalism

No beta I'm deteriorating my metal state

Sassy

Y/n is hot

Sex near a corpse, bad kind of choking, good kind of choking

Romance, kinda

Accidental drug use

Drunken shenanigans

It's not paranoia if they're actually out to get you

MC smokes like a chimney

Cannibalism puns

Reader is a naive little shit

Am I using him to make up for my daddy issues?, yes. yes I am 😈

I was drunk when I wrote this

I'm sorry, not actually it was hot in my head

Everything I know about being a nun comes from a TV show

[youngpettyqueen]

things said to me by small children during my first day as an EA

are you a boy or a girl? (im a boy) you have painted nails though! (I do that cause I think its pretty and so I dont bite them) oh ok!

you look like a boy and a girl at the same time (sick)

you sound like an AI (HUH) you sound like an AI!! (WHY) you just do!!

well obviously my parents are divorced- (OK)

I like psychowogical howwor games (I didnt even know the word psychological when I was your age where did you learn that)

NOW, for the rest of the month:

Finishing on the balaclava pattern

blanket (knitalong option but boy is my yarn ugly. That’s the reason why part of it is left over. It’s not the yarn shown, which is at least ugly in a way I like)

wrap (knitalong option, further along but not more well-conceptualized I guess? They are both repeating patterns)

yarn recycling from old projects and swatches

shawl for Ravelry

[gunitnekoh]

(I’m not super smart and I don’t know how a lot of shit works but)

My radical (incomplete list of) ideas for America:

Four/five hour work shifts

Four day work week

Daily pay guaranteed

6 months paid maternity/paternity leave and the parents can switch off and get the whole year

High speed rail cross country to all major cities

(We need public transport overhaul basically)

Universal basic income. If you want more money you can get a job but it’s not necessary for life

Native Americans should NOT pay taxes (apparently they do here. I didn’t know that. I thought we had the same rule as Canada where they don’t have to and the fact they do I think it’s bull shit. Omg we owe them so much in back taxes too)

Members of Congress cannot have a law/politics/business/or business science degree. They can have a Minor but their Major must be in a field other than those. Obviously we need law majors etc. to help run things just NOT for OFFICES. I want science and art majors in there. I want “the rest of life” represented in there.

Age CAPS on certain political offices (you cannot run after a certain age)

National minimum wage needs to be a percentage of the highest grossing income of the nation. I think if we make it a percentage then that keeps it tethered to the highest income and maintains the gap. We all make more money as the big guys make more money and benefits everyone. Also we just have to track the highest income and make a simple Calc every few years to adjust the pay. Everyone can do the math.

Bring back home economics and shop class. Also we need local wildlife and botany as required courses in school.

Get rid of gerrymandering and lobbying. Just grid the place.

We need more public UNDEVELOPED land. There needs to be a percentage of public/undeveloped land per square mile of city.

Demilitarize police. Holy shit why are our cops outfit like an army? We HAVE an army wtf!

There’s more but I can’t think of it all now

Feel free to add

Wikipedia has a "list of food" page that at first glance looks like it's been defaced but in actuality has been on the chopping block since 2006. The first category of food on the list is "Asparagus".

Vet Finder Websites

[queenlucythevaliant]

People you will encounter working at The Bookstore

Little old lady buying a huge stack of the most violent thrillers you can imagine

Person who very tentatively asks if you carry the single most popular book in the store, manages to get the title wrong

Pre-teens who definitely should not be this comfortable in the adult romance section

Man in a cowboy hat and cowboy boots buying cowboy books. This feels right.

Small child who would like to register his dissatisfaction about not getting a toy

Small child who is happy to be getting books, but would like to register his dissatisfaction about not getting a book he's already read fifteen times

Man who calls the store every day to ask if the new issue of his favorite niche magazine is in yet. Being told that you only get shipments Mondays and Thursdays will not deter him

Man who definitely thinks you're too young and female to be recommending him history books

Man who's very enthusiastic about your history recommendations and thinks it's "nice to see young people taking an interest"

Old person absolutely baffled by e-reader, wants your help setting it up

Attractive young man who appears to have exactly your taste in books, and his girlfriend

[for-gettable]

making mistakes

beating myself up over those mistakes for the rest of my life

feeling like everything about me is inherently bad

believing no one is ever going to love me for who i am

losing soulmates

crying myself to sleep

sleeping with the lights on

making things more difficult for myself

trying so hard

not being good enough

living

letting other people down

letting myself down

repeating the cycle

being tired

- things i'm tired of -

[catharsistine]

things I've learnt working as a barista:

1. old couples on dates is the cutest most heartwarming thing to witness

2. regulars are the best. chatting with them is so fulfilling and knowing their orders makes everyone feel special

3. college boys are THE WORST. they will snap at you and make you feel terrible. but whatever. you're better than them.

4. Good music will attract customers. the mood and vibe of a place are paramount to ensure maximum Good Times™.

(Here is the playlist I use.)

5. When a customer only drinks a drink when you make because they say it tastes extra good... it you feel like you're glowing

6. corporate doesn't care about you. they will criticise you. they only care about their money. fuck them. don't internalise anything they say.

7. sometimes old men can be really creepy. but never fear to ask a coworker for help in creepy situations. they will step up.

8. also, you're coworkers will like you if you build a bond with them! make an effort ♡ it's you against corporate, not y'all against each other, remember that.

9. a clean workspace makes work so much more efficient. clutter and stickiness ≠ efficiency.

10. don't be afraid to speak up if you're doing more than your fair share. it's often monotony-adjacent exhaustion that makes people lazy, not vitriol against you. a polite but direct request works wonders!

11. latte art is harder than it looks

12. don't do more than you're paid for. this isn't school, there's no extra credit. if you're doing extra work, ask for compensation.

13. loving your work makes everything so much easier. I try to find joy in doing the dishes and setting out the chairs and it makes me look forward to my job. really, you should try it!

What to read before The Veilguard drops

Yes people, we have homework. In case you missed it, or need to refresh that memory because hey, it's been a while, here's a quick short list of what to (re)read in preparation for this new entry in the series.

Books:

From Tevinter Nights: Down among the dead men (introduces Emmrich and Manfred), The wigmaker job (introduces Lucanis), The streets of Minrathous (introduces Neve).

The Last Flight, last novel released somewhere around DA: Inquisition. Takes the action to Weisshaupt, Grey Wardens HQ, and jumps between that present and the past explaining how the Griffons became extinct during the Fourth Blight. Will explain where Davrin's griffon came from.

Comics:

Magekiller. It's pretty introductory overall, set around Inquisition but it introduces "magekillers" as a job some people do. While in Tevinter Nights Lucanis is introduced as an Antivan Crow seems he's decided to change careers so it can't hurt to learn a bit about it.

The missing. Gives us Varric and Scout Harding already working together, and introduces us to Neve.

Short Stories:

Posted a while back in the BioWare page for Dragon Age day as crumbs to feast on while we waited, and waited, and waited..I recommend reading all of them simply because most people may have missed them and they add to lore and characters that while not among the new companions may still make an appearance and be relevant in Veilguard.

Of course I recommend reading EVERYTHING if possible, it all adds more layers and flavor and we know Solas is in the details, we can't miss a thing, but I think if you're short on time this counts as light reading enough to know where you'll land when Dragon Age: The Veilguard finally arrives.
