#People could all age differently there

One of my favorite fandom depictions of Fawcett was when they treated the city like Night Vale. IDK, I could always just imagine the city having that same vibe paired with over the top characters and settings as ASOUE (the visual depiction of it all).
Combine this with other heroes like Batman visiting Fawcett to try and figure out more about Captain Marvel and his family/team only for his brain to short circuit mintues after arriving from all the chaos and impossibility of everything.
Billy could have his own podcast or Radio show that's super popular even outside the city with him reporting on everything. He has an "odd things that happened this week" segment but it's all like normal stuff for everyone else but completely weird for citizens of Fawcett. The city could have a feud with both Gotham and/or Metropolis citizens.
The entire city could know about the Marvel Family identities but just delete and deny any evidence acting confused or refuse to acknowledge it whenever asked.
#I just want Fawcet to be a weird little city#The size of the city could be far too small for everything they have in the city and you get to different places based on how you travel#It's gotten to the point where even super powerful groups/individuals keeps tabs on the city just in case#Time could work differently there#People could all age differently there#This is the real reason Mary and Billy are no longer twins Fawcett just messed up their ages is all#Even people tied directly to chaos don't want to make their home their it's so bizzar#shazam#billy batson#fawcett city

Sometimes I want to bring Morrigan but then I remember I play as a face-tanking rogue and I bring Wynne. Warden Cousland, Morrigan, Wynne / Dragon Age Origins (c) Bioware
#dragon age#dragon age fan art#comic#morrigan#warden cousland#healer#bioware#dao#dragon age origins#hero of ferelden#cousland#wynne#I'm back. I guess.#I did not notice at first but apparently I took a break from tumblr. I've already had several breakdowns over the dashboard.#(turns out I was on the 'for you' tab rather than the 'following' tab. the theme had changed as well. absolutely insufferable.)#I've felt really unconnected for a while but it actually feels better now? as if my tumblr mutuals was the missing link.#very healthy and hot of me ngl#so. I had a two week holiday this year and they were instantly slurped up. it went so fast!#there was this big football thing the week before my holiday - basically teams of teens come from all around the world to play etc.#I heard a girl tell her teammates that 'I'd love to travel on this bus every morning; happy people all around you; just add some music...'#she was also very excited when the bridge opened. the 'happy people' around her sighed bitterly and leaned back for a ten minute wait.#it is thankfully over now. the bus home is no longer stuffed full of football teams. but it's a fun experience for the players etc etc etc#well. in other thrilling news I went to spy on our sister shops during my time off. to see what they do differently. maybe steal some ideas#one store was like an instagram post with fancy teacups and stylish outfits. who knew a second-hand store could be so boring.#the other was like a man-cave with furniture and a passively-aggressive note by the toys stating that 'if u break it u pay. idiot. tnx<3'.#the man-cave was my favourite :)#rant over now! take care and bye etc!

look i understand if you like marius because this is the evil morally bankrupt vampire story. however when people argue that marius was actually really cool and chill and normal about armand i want to fight them
#iwtv#csa ment incoming but. armand is 14 extremely traumatized has complete amnesia of his entire life and can barely speak.#and marius immediately has sex with him. and armand specifically mentions that he is prepubescent at this point#ive seen people argue that armand could consent bc he is 14 the age of consent at the time. HE CANT SPEAK BUDDY#i get that things were different 500 years ago and they’re all morally objectionable beasts who see humans as food#but i think it’s very obvious that having sex with traumatized mute children is a bad idea. and i think even marius knew that#csa mention#sa mention#posting from my drafts. it’s time

Dragon Age: The Veilguard has 700 characters and 80,000 lines of dialogue (140,000 lines including all the Rooks) in it: [link] They started casting the acting talent 5 years ago and have been working on it since.
Edit: According to the wiki, Dragon Age: Inquisition contains 88,000 lines of dialogue (edit 2 - I think this figure including all of the Inquisitors). I think I read somewhere that BG3 has over 500 NPCs?
#dragon age: the veilguard#dragon age: dreadwolf#dragon age 4#the dread wolf rises#da4#dragon age#bioware#video games#does the 88000 figure for DA:I include all the Inquisitors?#edit: yea i think so#edit 3: omg imagine all the new cultural info via getting so many new names for people from different places cultures and groups in the gam#not that i think every single one of these chars will have a name-name (you could have Templar Guard etc having lines ofc)#but still#name loreee

'my cousin is all stomach and no heart' is such a funny thing for illario to tell rook if he maybe is picking up on a little bit of a Vibe going on there. the 'LMAO. well good luck with that friend. better hotties than you have tried and failed and dashed themselves against the legendarily unamorous cliffs of my cousin's complete obliviousness and lack of interest to no avail. (optional 'may I suggest a more hah-hem *undoes another few buttons on his shirt that thing is open almost to his navel now it's borderline obscene* available dellamorte for your consideration. I mean if you're like in the market for one anyway' devious undertone as you see fit)' energy is off the charts.
(illario is above all a funny petty bitch and that's why I love him so indescribably. no no lucanis is right we need him around to drop shade like this he is in fact also an essential crow. we all contribute in our own ways)
#also I need to see his face when he realizes that lucanis IS in fact fucking that weird little goth twink. On The Regular and w enthusiasm#'of ALL the people who've thrown themselves at you over the years THIS is what you go for?? 'festooned in skulls' is your thing???'#(lucanis' thing is emotional security and safe sincere enduring affection but I don't think illario could grasp that in a thousand years)#dragon age#dragon age: the veilguard#dragon age: the veilguard spoilers#dragon age spoilers#illario dellamorte#lucanis dellamorte#rook x lucanis#rookanis#I actually think the writing as it stands for illario could work really well if the voice direction had been better#the voice actor is using such an obvious aggro Ze Evil Voice tone the whole way through I think if he was more soft-spoken#and more seemingly good-naturedly jocular and sometimes vulnerable the actual words work well enough to add some subtlety#(I mean. not a lot of subtlety. it's not like you'd wonder who the traitor is and I frankly don't think you're really meant to#that's not the point. it's a car crash you have to watch. but it would make the emotional tone a bit different and more compelling)#between that and some of the environmental storytelling -- the burned letter from zara even though the whole house is FULL#of venatori there's really no point in like. hiding evidence at this point lol vs. the one he wrote lucanis lying neatly on a table#in the same room -- the fact that he can't bring himself to hurt caterina. he seems to be staying in the room across the hall from her.#you know there are some signs here that just maybe#lucanis' hopes for him are not as completely incomprehensibly delusional as it looks on the surface haha

full on feel like pjo tv s2 is not gonna hold up so they need to drag as much attention to the series as they can by using nico as a sock puppet w tsats2
im fully expecting the show to go the way of the movies. it doesnt help Sea of Monsters is almost unanimously the least favorite book of the first series. People frequently forget it even exists or what happens in it, especially more casual fans.
Heck, just look at how little fanfare the second season has gotten so far as compared to the build up to s1. I wouldn't be surprised if s2 totally flops. It would be a little funny.
#pjo#riordanverse#pjo tv#pjo tv crit#tsats 2#Anonymous#ask#im still sad theyre beating every dead horse in the franchise they can EXCEPT for the graphic novels#the poor graphic novels arent getting advertised AT ALL and the BoO one got cancelled#like. the graphic novels would actually be probably one of the best advertising avenues!#like. hey! you dont need to write a whole new book! just remind people of previous books and give them a way to refresh on it#and given how the first couple of graphic novels were a different artists i could totally see them doing a second version#just to make them all consistent. thatd make sense and be reasonable.#the show has also already kind of trapped itself in a corner in a couple of ways#for one they kind of screwed themselves over failing to plan for the actors. yknow. ageing.#Walker is already taller than like. most of the cast. Percy's gonna be TOWERING over Luke by TLO#i think the main trio is all like almost 16 already? and we're only on s2. its gonna be rough. they didnt think about it. they didnt plan.#also with how theyve been messing with plot and characterization theyre VERY quickly going to start running into hurdles#because they dont seem to understand the more you change earlier on. the less the later stuff will work without also needing change#because. it's dependent on what comes before. so we will very quickly be requiring either MASSIVE canon divergence or a lot of retcon#and retcon in the show is going to be VERY OBVIOUS#though i stand by itll be so funny if they solve too much too quickly in s2 just like the movies and it just ends on#''wait. crap. what are we going to do for s3 now. we solved too much too early. they have nothing to do''

the veilguard curse.....i just want to play older bioware games; ALSO small rant where i really started losing hope in the story
I HATE GAMES....that make you go through a dialogue tree only to leave you with only ONE option to choose. i am thinking of one conversation with solas where rook's final and only option of dialogue is "I will do whatever it takes" or whatever and UGHHHH
I HATE THAT especially when i'm trying to run a character that would NEVER say that???
ugh i love roleplay games that make you play a character you didn't at all make /sarcasm
this is just an excuse to make a post about how rambert would never "do whatever it takes", he won't lie even to save face or earn trust.
#OOC.#thinking of ME...the loyalty missions that actually had choices in them!!!! AAAAAA#datv spoilers#dav spoilers#anyway im pushing myself to finish it; and i THINK? im almost to the 3/4 or halfway point idk its hard to tell with this game#but i already am struggling to see what replay stuff i could do if i chose to go back through the game.#the only time so far a choice has felt like...impactful is the the treviso and minrathos choice and that was like 10+ hours ago for me#AND I WANT TO EXPLODE#i hate games that are like 'here's an option for what your character will say' and you pick it and its not what the option was at all (:#anyway veilguard makes me thankful for the cheaper games out there and i pray for EAs downfall#tbd#veilguard critical#dragon age critical#UGHHH i dread opening up veilguard just to finish it cause#yippe ill have one quest then get 10 new quests from my companions and do them and have shallow conversations with no effect to the story a#AAAAAAAA#i just struggle with this cause this is the first game i bought at the full $70 price#and it REALLY feels like such a waste of my money that should have been saved and spent on bills but thats on me#i shouldve vetted the game more but the combat looked fun and people were seemingly only hating on the diversity of characters#but now playing it i feel like i'm beta testing a game that'll be ready in another year#and damn is it a good game in beta! the combat isn't too bad. it removed a part of how dragon age combat used to function though so#thankfully i enjoy Mass effect's style of combat or this would be different.

I’m not sure how I feel about the factions being tied to specialisations. I understand it with how they’ve structured the game but does that mean if I want to be a warden I have to be a warrior? I just feel like it’s kinda limiting for roleplaying and stuff. Even though some of them make sense to be exclusive to a certain classes. Like them mourn watch for example. Unless I’ve completely read it wrong >_<
Edit-
I was wrong I misread the article the quote was :
"Gameplay-wise – each of our classes has a specialization, and each of them is tied to a faction,"
#I could see all the factions needing different people for different jobs#dragon age#da4#dragon age spoilers#dragon age veilguard#don’t really know how I feel about the mage specialisations in general#but still very excited#also I hope it didn’t mess up anyones planned rooks#thanks to the people who corrected me

Saying this as someone who spends a lot of my time searching for new queer bands and has a whole spreadsheet of almost 1000 queer bands + artists -
Why are trans mascs so adverse to making music in styles that are not commercially viable?
#there are so many queer people across the gender spectrum in so many different genres EXCEPT for trans mascs#why do they all make music that without the lyrics could just be the punk band in a coming of age disney channel original movie in the 00s#crouch speaks#i can name one trans masc noise artist (victim unit) and two grindcore bands with trans masc members (kissies and ballstomper)#its like. every trans masc musician is either doing riot grrl/ghoul or pop punk#or folk punk#and thats it. like. you can do music that wont get you a support slot for MCR one day. you dont have to be pallettable enough for a car ad

i am disappointed by DE eagerly canonizing stuff like "why did people go crazy on Zariman?" and "what exactly happened on Duviri?" through wf 1999 but as soon as we start talking timeline, they bail. "Oh the Orokin destroyed all evidence of the old Earth, we don't know how long ago it was." "The Tenno were asleep for umpteen-billion years* but since they were asleep it doesn't really matter for how long."
*an approximate quote by one of the Hex (pretty sure it was Eleanor who you could argue is not very knowledgable but she's seen what Drifter knows didn't she?). correct me if i remembered it wrong i guess
#i personally don't believe that it's been so long between the fall of the Orokin and present day#(despite them throwing “forgotten'' and ''lost'' around all the time)#like western civilization was so different 200 400 years ago#and the orokin age and present day isn't even separated by such huge inventions as car/plane and computers#it was more like people sifting through the rubble for what already existed#so i don't think the ''billions'' are actually necessary. and for my own story i actually have to shrink that to around a century:\#but even though i'm stretching (shrinking) i think it could be possible#Warframe#ngl i feel really punched in the throat by the zariman explanation#the entire time i lived thinking - as we've been told - that void just does that to adults#but apparently wally just decided to do some experiments on ants?#maybe i'm just dumb and was supposed to connect the dots but i didn't. now i have to rethink my approach to wally

this is long sorry but i wanted to make a statement for the press (treat tumblr like a public diary) and the children of divorce (mutuals)
i know that obviously i am heartbroken that joeff and i had to split and part of me is really angry that it had to happen that way but its not like its anyone’s fault. this is a no fault divorce. we love each other we just couldn’t continue the relationship. but i go home and i see him and we hang out and its normal but then i remember that the future we wanted is dead and THAT is a horrible feeling but the worst feeling would be not having him in my life at all and i am glad that we love each other enough to be friends and we were friends for so long before we started dating bc then we know that we can do it. im glad we’re going to be apart for a few weeks bc it is still really raw but ultimately it is for the best and we agree that we are soulmates just maybe not romantically. which sucks but the right person for us will be glad that we didnt force ourselves to stay together just for the comfort of familiarity. i just have to tell myself that it wasnt a waste of time and everything will make sense eventually even if it doesnt right now and i want to be mad but theres nothing to be mad about except sometimes life is unfair but you live it anyway.
#i know i talk my shit on here sometimes when i let myself get angry but i dont mean it. he didnt do anything wrong#i mean in retrospect some things could have been done differently but its not like someone cheated or was abusive or anything#it was just circumstances stopped lining up. which happens! especially if youre young. people dont grow up at the same rate and thats ok#like we still live together and are friendly we have no beef we’re both just sad that it didnt work out in the end#but we cant be hanging out together like we used to for a long time because a period of distance will make it easier in the long run#which sucks because i want to go do all this stuff with him and see our friends and be normal but we cant until we’re solidly Apart#we just need to be our own people for a while because neither of us have ever really been alone bc we glommed onto each other as soon as we#met um……. at age 19 and 20#so we need to figure out what we want for ourselves as individuals without letting the other one drag us down yknow. so its okay!#but we are figuring things out and everything is a circle so we’ll be right back!

RIP Solas another victim of "characters being misunderstood by the fandom in the same exact way other characters misunderstand them"
#🌞#🎮#Deep breath in.#Okay I've been out of the loop with the fandom literally since 2014 or so. So. I do Not Care as deeply as I could. But also.#I know it's unavoidable in big fandoms because yeah there will always be that one guy who straight up played a different game than you.#Ultimately personally? I think going any //extra// with Solas is misunderstanding his character.#As in based on his interactions I think HE would heavily discourage either villainizing or overly elevating him.#Assuming he's a selfless freedom fighter and nothing but is as wrong as assuming he's a genocidal maniac and nothing but.#Ultimately I think fandom-wise he's the victim of people /refusing/ to consider a different perspective and instead treating it as#'bad writing' which is like. Not the same thing. Unreliable narration and deceived expectations are not... bad writing?#Also the hating part of the fandom suffers from tropification a lot. Like it used to be the problem with Anders and it is a problem w Solas#Like oooh you REALLY want him to be the maniacal villain and you think every other bit of writing about him is wrong bc of that. Aight.#Solas will always be 'yeah he did all that and he literally knows it but absolutely not for the reasons you ascribe to him'. To me.#dragon age#dragon age inquisition#da:i#solas#solas positive

Highly recommend bringing Anders as the sole mage with you when recruiting Fenris at least once, because MAN the dialogue he has in that situation lives in my mind rent free
edit: here it is
#dragon age#dragon age 2#anders#im biting and screaming about it#the DELIVERY of the 'ah. here it comes' line#the disappointed but not surprised air of it all#this being literally the first time these two speak and Anders has done nothing but help up to this point#yes i know you could probably do the quests in a different order but just#it generally bothers me when people go on about Anders being the one that's always first to poke at fenris#when it's just? not true for many playthroughs just based on recruiting order#plus banter is randomized and you have the same chances of Anders antagonizing him first as you have getting the one of fen calling him-#an abomination first#but back to this interaction -#I mean come on if you were in his situation here and this random guy you just helped turned around and called you a snake unprompted#would you want to interact with them again?? much less in a friendly manner?#[ending disclaimer this isnt fen hate its just pro anders fbjsd]#i could write more of my fen thoughts but that's for another post. or an ask maybe idk

She's six years old. She's going to go to a new school next year. She hugs her friends goodbye. They tell her they're going to keep in touch. They'll still be friends. They'll tell her everything that happens.
She's fourteen now. She sits at the table across from her friends. They talk about people she doesn't know. She asks who they are, and her friends begrudgingly explain, but suddenly they're talking about some new person. She doesn't want to ask again.
They're sixteen. They invite their old friends to their birthday party because there's never been a year without them. They haven't spoken in six months due to the lockdown. I didn't know you changed your name. Oh, yeah, sorry. I didn't tell you. The distance between them is growing.
He's approaching twenty. He's back home for the summer. He sends a happy birthday text to a friend he hasn't had a serious conversation with in ages. He finds out she's eighteen now via her instagram story. He checks his other friends' stories and sees pictures of people he hasn't spoken to since he was six.
He wonders to himself, when did he burn all these bridges she promised she'd maintain?
#its so weird to watch them grow up without me#they all have boyfriends now#or have travelled the world#and i know i grew up too#but we just grew up so differently#i think back to my last day at that school#when we all promised we'd keep in touch#i can count on one hand i bet how many people I still talk to from that school#and the amout that i actually have serious conversations with on a regular basis is 1#funnily enough theres only one friend I had who turned out sort of like me#and shes my oldest friend#but the person this post is mourning was one of my closest friends for ages#i have a feeling she got sick of me#i could write for aged about mourning the friends i grew apart from#its sickening to realize but at the same time freeing because now you get to move on#ss writes#mine#writing

just going about my day idly contemplating how some of the ways hawke can interact with a romanced anders are not at all unlike how they interact with leandra (and a bit of carver too, especially with a purple hawke), and then thought about my hawke in the timeline where he romances anders and was hit straight in the face with 'was he ever actually in love, or was he just desperately trying to renegotiate with his mother's ghost in any way he could' and now i need to lie down. this is the power of dragon age 2
#'you don't know my mother' haunting me through the years#dragon age#dragon age 2#hawke#On second thought let's not go to Kirkwall; it is a silly place#there are of course as many ways to do/read that relationship as there are players to interact with it haha and all valid!#but my personal version of handers is sooo fucked up and bad times for everyone involved and I love it haha.#this is a relationship neither of them should have been in and that made everything worse and everyone unhappy in the end#locked tomb levels of the horrors of love. i ship it but in the way that I want to make it sadder and more gutwrenching each time#to be clear this is a very mutual two-way kind of fucked up but I think varric in his loyalty and love would downplay hawke's side of it#for huge swathes of their relationship anders is not in a mental place to be a good partner and the emotional blackmail is Not Okay#(but it's just like how mother used to make it! hawke's soul cries sadly as it reaches for it hungrily)#which is in some ways fair enough no one could accuse him of not warning you ahead of time fjskda#but hawke is messy about it in a way only available to a covert people pleaser who has never had a millisecond of therapy#with some added stuff that my hawke is always acespec in some form and when he gets together with anders...#is the sex something he doesn't particularly care to have or not have but it 'makes anders happy'/he longs to feel wanted *and* needed#and also a way he gets out of ever being *actually* vulnerable (which I think he'd had to be with varric for example if he Went There )#'you want the hawke who's in your head so badly and I kind of wish I were that hawke too. so let's be collaborateurs with that fantasy'#(and then maybe if I do it right every time you'll finally be happy hawke says in his heart looking at this leandra-anders phantom form)#(and echoing stuff in varric's relationship to hawke but I think the important distinction there is that varric -- is a craftsman haha#he KNOWS when he's lying/making up a story he KNOWS the difference between what is and what he wishes the world was#(I think there's some deep longing there to not know; for it to blend together or have the power to change things. but he always knows)#which ironically leaves him in a better position to actually see and understand hawke the person#even as he is creating hawke the literary figure. almost to protect him in some ways? god da2 is so full of STUFF!!! I adore it)#and of course anders gets so disillusioned with hawke's inertia and lack of action (you all but married this man anders!#you should know this about him he's already carrying the whole family and city on his shoulders if you add a gram more he'll collapse!)#and hawke feels so desperately hurt that the promise anders seemed to make that he'd be enough -- that he could fix things for him --#('I'm the one bright light in kirkwall and that apparently doesn't count for shit so I'm just slowly turning to ash for you')#turned out to be untrue. anyway. sad now. imagine them meeting like twenty years on what the fuck could you even say to each other then#(I can't imagine Hawke ever physically hurting anyone he loves so he just tells Anders to leave at the end of DA2. they COULD meet again

thinking about superheroes unfortunately
#random thoughts#let me daydream about batman in peace#love the dynamic between spiderman and deadpool#it's that kind of dynamic i love where two people have power over each other in different ways#like spiderman is a well-loved public figure and deadpool's idol while deadpool is a dangerous mercenary with regeneration powers#physically deadpool probably outmatches spiderman through sheer dogged perseverance#while in the public eye spiderman is more well-liked AND deadpool is feverishly obsessed with him#i'm gonna keep forgetting the hyphen between spider and man btw fuck the world#loving the idea of a spiderman who KNOWS deadpool can do better and believes in him while deadpool gives him a space where HE can be himsel#like spiderman has so many masks he has to put on around other people#i think deadpool should be one of the few people he can truly let himself loose around#yknow before he can get to a point where he can reveal he's peter parker#also i think peter parker in his ideal state suffers from severe identity and self confidence issues#like he thinks spiderman is a seperate persona he puts on which is superior to himself in every way#(okay seperate thought: DID spiderman. the spider bite being so traumatic it led to him creating a split personality to cope.)#(or separate. whatever.)#also age difference. peter should be in his mid-twenties while deadpool should be in his thirties. need more power imbalance#also they're both sa survivors and their personalities could be interpreted as them handling it in vastly different ways#with deadpool being hypersexual and spiderman being flirtatious yet distant and peter parker being borderline celibate#though honestly i could leave spiderman being an sa survivor given it was a whole 'gay people are all predators' psa#also i think spiderman should have been held back in high school. due to struggles relating to being spiderman#so he graduated late and now he's going to community college#peter parker has the luxury of going incognito. wade wilson will always be stared at no matter what he's wearing#deadpool who every superhero hates. spiderman who every superhero organization is trying to recruit desperately#also i think peter should admire wade. physically. built like a brick shithouse that one#also the third act low point CAN'T be about spiderman feeling guilty because deadpool kills people#okay? it's overdone. we've seen it. it's lame#i prefer when their opposing views on murder are treated in a more 'death penalty or no' way rather than assuming deadpool is always wrong#because spiderman's idyllic 'people can change' beliefs can be just as wrong as deadpool's 'assholes deserve to die' beliefs#and spiderman has definitely killed people are you kidding me. both accidentally and on purpose
