#WE created most of the lore

[moonyswarmsweaters]

JK rolling is like the deadbeat dad of the marauders era characters

Yea, she did some basic stuff to create them, maybe named them,

but the mom, the fandom, grew them up, raised them while Jkr is mad that ‘no son character of hers will be gay, trans, queer’ and more

she didn’t raise them yet come with judgment for who they grew up to be, raised by the fandom, the working parent.

she doesn’t know them as well but she will probably only be back when she needs something or get mad that they aren’t “how they raised them” while she didn’t, only there when she wants control.

she may did some of the work, but she didn’t do much raising them and can’t be mad at shit of how they turned out’ to be.

i saw this tweet and found it interesting for two reasons. one is that some people base how good cartoon network would be to toh by how it treated su, and despite the fact that su’s treatment by the network was considered poor at the time, now its thought to be exceptionally good in comparison to modern shows.

two is how exactly su got impacted by a limited budget. a common criticism is how characters like connie, peridot, and lapis are left out of missions. but balancing a lot of characters is not only hard but also costly (extra animation, extra voices—it’s been revealed that the show is limited to a set number of characters per episode otherwise they’re over budget). animation mistakes are not uncommon since retakes cost extra. the entire reason the original show got cut short was due to loss of funding!

Me, slowly preparing me and my friends first DnD game with a lot of homebrewed rules, bc we have no idea what we are doing.

My friends: Oh you don't have to do so much!

According to the artist, when it was suggested that a smile might benefit the look of the finished portrait, Attaché Nohell reportedly replied, "I thought the purpose of this was to be honest."

Spare some au lore..? Specifically yttd aus..

Ohhhhh, thank you :3 I can now talk a little about my world building of Purgatory!

To end up in Purgatory you have to "die". But death here is taken really loosely. There needs to be a chance to survive.

Most participants experienced injuries that were enough for them to fall into a coma. But some... There is a handful, or even less, that wanted to go to Purgatory.

If you want to live, you have to take part in games and win. For every win, you get Star Tokens—a currency used to buy useful things or to escape. Everything will be explained by a Watcher at the Starting Point.

When you arrive, your memory may be intact or with a few missing pieces. Usually it depends on the injuries that were received in the "real world". Memories should come back eventually. If you survive long enough.

The first thing participants see is a statue of a man that looks like a Saint. Its body open and greeting them all, but the look on the face uncomfortable to look at.

The Purgatory as a whole is big and its potential is great. Not all of the land is used well enough or at all. It can sometimes look pretty empty. But all the buildings and places are thought out, with their exact destination.

Some places are not known even by the greatest of Watchers. But Guardians are clever and spend so much time looking that they know where to find a place with no eyes.

There are a lot of important places in Purgatory, but Flower Tree is the most beautiful. It grew from nothing and is guarded by Everything. Here you can meet Kanna, a beautiful Angel. There isn't a lot to talk with her as she often is silent. Participants think it is because of flowers growing from her throat that make her unable to speak. But not many know the moments of silence filled with whispers of two siblings.

Guardians are a mystery. Games can be hard and deadly. But all is fair in Purgatory Trials.

ok the thing about the implication that everything is interconnected (the elven gods are connected to the tevinter old gods/archdemons and also are possibly what humans interpreted as the maker and also they were underground so it’s probably going to be some BiG rEvEaL that they’re behind the dwarves’ connection to lyrium/the stone) is that it just makes the world feel incredibly small. all these different cultures have different mythologies, except it turns out it’s the same. that sucks imo

Pondering the relationship between Sozin and Zeisan.

Rewatching jacob gellars Pinocchio video to rewatch tng measure of a man to watch metropolis to read rossums universal robots to better argue about why modern tf lore sucks.

[bonetrousledbones]

i understand the line of thinking but its still rlly funny to me when i see ppl claiming the whole entire underground doesnt have bathrooms solely because of how monster food works. do u think they just shower with like a hose in their backyard or something

ask game - KISS

spins a comically large wheel that just consists of the name "istorros"

god. okay. i've been looking for an excuse to talk about istorros. so i'm gonna take this as my sign to talk a little about him.

the real answer is sort of funny, because in my current file, he's romancing gale, so the last person he's technically kissed is gale. but story-wise, astarion, because of a bunch of funny shenanigans that happened behind the scenes.

here he is casting speak to dead for context (the only other reference i have of him is an Actual mugshot. lmao.)

slightly disappointed - just slightly - that they didn't include fischl in the windblume event because she would fit the legend/fairytale category of the charade so much?!

[stillunpainted]

What was up with Neo Another Day Coco btw.  I have to review the dialogue but even though she’s likely written that way to have an in-universe reason for the boss rush I just remember it being kinda weird. (edited because I confusd a new day and another day)

alright so now that we’ve gotten some actual crumbs, it feels like it’s a good time to lay out my prediction for what da4 is going to look like. writing this in a letter and mailing it to myself

we are part of an underground organization formed from the ruins of the inquisition to stop solas from ending the world

meanwhile the wardens have been researching the blight/the location of the archdemons and discover some secret about the location of the black city/what is actually contained in it

we’re supposed to be shocked at the reveal that the evanuris are trapped in the black city and the maker doesn’t exist

the ancient elves were in control of some crazy mutating technology (like in hormak) and that was the original source of the darkspawn. the whole thing about them being from the deep roads and a dwarf concern was actually just a red herring, they’re just underground because they’re powered by lyrium and this has ALSO been an elf thing the whole time :)

anyway, now we need to Double Make Sure the veil stays up because the evanuris have something even worse cooking up in the black city and we need to prevent them from unleashing a super blight and destroying all life, and our job is to convince solas to give up, not because we disagree with his plan but because his actions will have unintended consequences. even if he doesn’t care about everyone else and wants to rebuild the world, he won’t even be able to do THAT because the super blight will kill elves too. so although we WERE enemies we will have to band together to defeat the greater threat etc. it will be optional to recruit him as an ally/advisor, or you can just fight him directly and take control of his forces

we will have to cross into the fade AGAIN and storm the black city directly to put a stop to whatever’s going on in there
