Forever dying at the fact that he added "cloacas" to the list and then opened his mouth like he expected that man to throw Stolas' ass at him as he did with the hen and the cat

why do people who like da4 have the stupidest fights about it also

i just had to see a take about "why are the Shadow Dragons so mad i saved Treviso, i don't deserve this, i'm a Crow, of course i save Treviso" like bro they lost their city. It's normal. Personally i think they should be meaner. (i played as a Shadow dragon saving Treviso and i was disappointed they weren't meaner.)

or people calling Neve mean for being sad for what happened to Minrathous like??? Come on now.

Like all the complains i see are pretty much "why is the game not adoring my every footsteps :(" while i'm here fucking begging for some consequences for my actions in a video game of the consequences for my actions genre.

"why are the shadow dragons mad" you guys wouldn't survive one minute in Kirkwall like fr.

No one fucking talk to me, I rarely like men at all. I like a fictional man ONCE every blood moon, and in one of those rare instances he DIES. I MEAN DIES??? OF COURSE. YEAH SURE MAKES FUCKING SENSE, LET ME JUST TELL U THE ONLY REASON I WANNA WATCH THIS SHOW NOW IS BECAUSE OF THE HOPE MY ADAM IS GONNA COME BACK. I'm so terribly upset, I legit cried about this for days. I'm not telling this to my therapist, humiliating.

I want Vivienne to be in Veilguard so badly. I know she probably won’t be because people were annoying and racist about her, but can you imagine if she and Maevaris were able to get together and maximise their joint slay?

I feel like I was summoned from an ancient sarcophagus just to make this indie sleaze ass mood board. 2010 Bridget would be living for it.

Chapter 16: The Crimson Council

After long months of planning, the delegation to address the growing problem of red lyrium finally takes place. But for all her meticulous planning, there's one thing Theresa hasn't accounted for.

Several voices rise at once, some concurring and some dissenting, and already Theresa sees things getting horribly sidetracked. She raps loudly on the table with one of her paperweights, waiting for enough of the din to quiet down before shooting Varric a pleading glance.  He quickly clears his throat and raises both hands in a conciliatory gesture. “Let’s keep this on task, shall we? Our first and biggest problem is that we’ve all found ways to deal with it on a smaller scale, but those methods are either temporary, ineffective, or impractical on the scale we’re talking about. And to stop this, we’ve got to think big. Continent-big.”  Feynriel crosses his arms and gives a thoughtful frown. “For the sake of argument, what happens if we do nothing? Nature is incredibly adaptable – isn’t there any chance that things will work themselves out?”  Everyone grows still, looking to Theresa and Varric, who share another grave look.  “No,” Theresa says flatly. “There’s no chance. I’ve seen firsthand the damage it will do if left unchecked. It will eat the world.”  Feynriel eyes her warily. “Figuratively?”  “Literally.”  The note of silence that follows is chilling. But at least now, everyone understands the stakes.

btw extremely funny how shaving something rude into your pubes is an actual decision you can make with seras gift quest and she loves it

[greyswarden]

guys im actually a bit (cautiously) excited for v.eilguard (still hasn’t finished inquisition)

[death-rebirth-senshi]

The other big reason I'm always like "I have to give Inquisition another try" is that I feel like I need to make myself like Vivienne more because otherwise I'm a fraud and a charlatan

[heart-bones]

spent over a week in Japan and tell me why the things I've bought for myself are artbooks?

Hi! I'd love to know what your thoughts are on Viv as divine? Sorry if you've already covered this, I'm just excited to find someone who cares about her and I feel like you'd have a much better take than like. 90% of the people who talk about the divine options

Thanks for posting meta about her, she's one of my all-time faves!

hi!! so sorry this took me so long to answer, i have no excuse other than i saved it to my drafts a while back and it got absolutely buried. soo im brushing off the cobwebs on this thing and finally answering it

divine vivienne is, in my opinion, FUN. it's fun. her becoming divine is not canon in most of my wordstates but i love thinking about divine vivienne. the idea of having a mage on the sunburst throne is so GOOD. and not just a mage, but a mage who is 1) a free marcher 2) not white and 3) a master of the political orlais bullshit?? oh yeah. we're so back. we've never been more back.

vivienne as divine victoria is especially interesting to me in the case that she fails, though. which may be surprising because i am the mr vivienne enjoyer guy but. just imagine. she is ousted from her seat on the throne before she can cement her place as the divine. there is no recovering from that for her. any sort of political or social power she would have is GONE. a disgraced divine? a mage who dared to grasp for power in the wake of such death and destruction caused by magic, who wants to pull the strings of the pure and hopeful minds of the faithful to put more damned mages in control, so that southern thedas will be reformed into the likes of tevinter? none of that is true, obviously, but it would be what people would say about her. where would she go after that? where could she go? would she have any allies that have not forsaken her? any shelter that will not scorn her and set the templars upon her like dogs upon a starved stray cat just looking for scraps? hm. much to think about.

The whole takumi nobu nana triangle is so fucking good man.... shin in there too for thematic reasons WOW

[practically-an-x-man]

I will say that the inclusion of Vivienne makes Wojchek's comment about throwing Anna (the "stowaway") overboard a lot more knowing, and a lot less callous in a way

because it goes from "the stowaway must be thrown off the ship for Poseidon to deal with (it's cruel but it's the tradition, she has to die or superstition states we'll be in for rough seas)"

to "the stowaway must be thrown off the ship for Poseidon to deal with (this young woman is in terrible condition and might die anyway, but I know there's Poseidon's magic in these waters and if I give her to the sea he may be more merciful, I've seen it with my own eyes)"
