#Soviet Dragon

Like I can’t believe that the Antaam splitting away from the Qun had such little political impact on the world and the only reason it happened is because they needed to give the player characters someone to kill without us thinking about it too much.

Reminds me of an hbomberguy video I watched where he was talking about fallout new vegas and was comparing how new vegas treated supermutants versus how 3 treat them. NV gave them life- personalities, histories, emotions, background- while in 3 they were a stupid brute of an animal to shoot down and move on.

The qunari had the potential to be endlessly fascinating as a culture that stands so aside from any other in Thedas. Even if you wanted to go down the brutal military dictatorship storyline- which you could do well by commenting on individuals within that story- the leads chose to instead make the qunari into fodder instead of developing something interesting. It’s a very conservative, “they are bad because they are not us” mentality on both ends that I’m sick and tired of

Hetalia Sticker sheets for a con/artist alley this weekend! Can you spot all the historical references?

I see the Qun being compared to communism by many DA fans as criticism but honestly yes, gimme. hire people who studied the history of the Eastern Bloc or people who grew up and lived under communism, show both the good and the bad and turn it up to 11. make my east euro heart happy

and they better have paneláky on Par Vollen

TDP shower thought.

Since Aaravos - a Star-type Pokémon - is in the pearl (possibly Akiyu’s former ocean primal stone from her staff), does that mean the pearl is now a Star primal stone?

I love your Soviet Russian cartoon treasure island art. Do you still draw that stuff? If so, then can you draw dr livesey where he is snoring while he is sleeping pls?

Oh, thank you, I'm glad to know that! And yes, I still draw Treasure Island, but I don't want to show it here. If you're interested, I'm showing it here: https://vk.com/silvernest

I don't know if I'll ever continue to show it here, but definitely not today.

And the idea of a sleeping Livesey is pretty sweet, I've actually been thinking about it for a long time, and there were a couple of sketches somewhere, but I didn't show them anywhere. Maybe someday I'll draw it again.

Treasure Island (1988) is much better than Dragon Ball Z

Dr Livesey memes is going to revive this 2023 with "Average Tord vs Average Dr. Livesey"

Why are the two main things on my mind today the Legend of the Red Dragon story and communism?

Apparently it’s customary on some social media platforms to post your most recent four films viewed on Letterboxd.

This week for me:

-Goodbye, Mary Poppins (Мэри Поппинс, до свидания!), 1983, USSR, Leonid Kvinikhidze

-The Flight of the Dragons, 1982, US & Japan, Jules Bass & Arthur Rankin Jr.

-Star Virgin Pilot Film (スターヴァージン パイロットフィルム), 1986, Japan

-Deadpool & Wolverine, 2024, US, Shawn Levy

This is sort of random. But a user at YouTube (@ericjae) used AI to reimagine the appearances of certain Game of Thrones characters in the setting of the old Soviet Union.

Varys (presumably) as Lavrentiy Beria, Stalin's notorious secret police head, is the most convincing of the images.

If @ericjae wanted to go post-Soviet: Stannis Baratheon as Vladimir Putin would be a good fit. Both engaged in overreach, squandered vast amounts of money, and were involved in military fiascos. At least so far, Putin hasn't run into his version of Brienne of Tarth.
