"jason is a knockoff watered down percy" NO hear me out, jason actually parallels annabeth immensely, sharing SO many similarities with her personality, not percy, in this essay I will-
edit: my full analysis is out now! here
#when I read about jason the first time I'm like wow he's sort of a gentler annabeth chase variant he could be her twin brother#they are both genuinely interested in learning stuff. they both mansplain and geek. they are both misunderstood as conceding when they do#they love getting involved in debates and discussions. they both have designed temples assigned to them by the gods themselves#they are both seen as 'scary and intimidating' when they're just softies who need love. they are both overthinkers with too many plans#they are both soft for ppl w silly humor. they both kinda give off an untrustworthy vibe at first bc they know too much info#they are both also pretty suspicious and don't trust immediately. they both love architecture. they both have a 'cold icy' stare#also they're both TALL#I could keep going on and on for ages actually#pjo#pjo fandom#percy jackson#jason grace#pjo series#pjo hoo toa#pjo hoo#annabeth chase

hello rookanis nation. can i present rel and lucanis’s dynamic. sun and moon trope, one with boundless energy and one who gets 2 hours of sleep a night, guy i pulled by being an idiot, etc. they’re special to me
#rookanis#lucanis dellamorte#datv#dragon age the veilguard#veilguard#dragon age#reposting bc i wanted to format it differently thank u thank u#anyway what i said in the other tags is that when spite sleepwalks rel never wakes lucanis up he just like hangs out with spite#they play wicked grace#also rel isn’t allowed in the kitchen bc he burnt a hole in the pan one time trying to make an omelette#and yes of course rel is a sweets guy ofc i chose the sweet drinks option#rel is full of boundless optimism and stupidity#him and lucanis are like that one tumblr post about being morosexual#rel: what color is the pink panther#lucanis taking his clothes off: rel you’re so fucking stupid#my art

I understand and agree with a lot of the frustrations about the shortcomings of Inquisition as a story. but sometimes when I hear people complain about the chosen one narrative in it I do want to just be like... you know it's a deconstruction of the concept more than anything, right. the inquisitor isn't actually chosen by anything except stumbling into the wrong (right?) room at the right (wrong?) time because they like, heard a noise or whatever. or if you think they are chosen, as many do in-universe, that's something you have to take on faith, the maker-or-whoever moves in mysterious ways indeed-style. the Inquisitor isn't actually a Destined Chosen One, they're a Just Some Guy in a fancy hat, self-delusions of grandeur to taste as you'd prefer.
a running thread that goes through all of the personal quests of the companions is the concept of a comforting lie vs. an uncomfortable truth, upholding old corrupt structures vs. disrupting them, and the role of faith in navigating that. (blackwall the warden vs. thom rainier the liar and murderer. hissrad vs. the iron bull, or is that the other way around? cassandra and the seekers -- do we tell the truth about what we find, even if it means dismantling the old order of the world? and so on.) and your inquisitor IS at the same time a comforting lie (a necessary one, in dark times? the game seems to ask) and an uncomfortable truth (we are the result of random fickle chance, no protective hand is held over the universe, it's on us to make a better world because the maker sure as hell won't lift a divine finger to help anyone, should he against all odds exist). faith wielded for political power... where's the point that it crosses the line into ugliness? is it before it even begins? what's the alternative? will anyone listen to the truth, if you tell it?
interesting how you also get a mix of companion agency in this -- you have characters like dorian who ALWAYS choose one side of the comforting lie vs. uncomfortable truth dichotomy. he will always make up his own mind to go back to tevinter and try to dismantle the corruption of the old system no matter what you say, or how you try to influence him. meanwhile iron bull is on the complete opposite side of the spectrum -- so psychologically trapped and mangled, caught in an impossible spiritual catch-22, that his sense of identity is left entirely to you and your mercy. you cannot change dorian in any way that matters; you can be his friend or not, support him or not, but he is whole no matter what. you are given incredible and potentially destructive-to-him power over bull's soul. it's really cool (and heartbreaking) to think about.
this is a game about how history will eat you even while you're still alive, and shape you into whatever image it pleases to serve it, and for all your incredible power right now you are powerless in the face of the gravitational force of time -- of more than time, of History. you won't recognize yourself in what History will make of you, because you belong to it now. you don't belong to yourself anymore and you never will again. the further you were from what it needs from you to begin with, the more you will find yourself distorted in its funhouse mirror. (why hello there inquisitor ameridan, same hat!)
and to me this is so much the core of what Dragon Age is about right from the Origins days -- how and by whom history gets written, the inherent unreliable narration of it all. I hope you like stories, Inquisitor. You are one now.
I do think it's probably still the weakest of the games narratively, and it's hampered by its structure and bloated systems. but I also find it disingenous to say that there's nothing deeper or actually interesting going on with it, thematically. if you're willing to engage with it there is Some Real Shit going on under the high fantasy-tinted surface.
#dragon age#dragon age inquisition#it's so weird to have been around long enough to see the 'worst of the series!!' sentiment change targets from da2 to da:i haha#I was a 'da2 rules' truther before it was cool and by god I am a 'da:i does some cool shit' defender now that she's fallen from grace#I am an underdog supporter at heart I suppose#dragon age meta#meta#baby I'm yet again thinking insane galaxy brain thoughts about adoribull as thematic mirrors it's good to be back#I was never truly off my bullshit but I am completely back on it again now

my hot pjo take is that Jason isn't a second Percy, Jason is a second Annabeth. Jason is just if Annabeth was a guy and also a Big 3 kid.
#pjo#riordanverse#jason grace#annabeth chase#CAUSE LIKE. THINK ABOUT IT: older sister is Thalia. raised at camp from an unusually young age for demigods.#adoptive parent figure is the immortal teacher of said camp. looking to prove themself. extremely knowledgeable#becomes BFFs with the spunky new kid who's a little bit of an outcast and comes from a troubled home#ends up co-leading camp alongside them. likes architecture and history and very passionate about fairness and law and such#but also is kind of a notorious rulebreaker but never gets in trouble for it#literally ends up put in charge of building stuff for the gods!!!!!!#THEY EVEN LOOK ALIKE. blond/e hair tan skin and stormy eyes!!!!!#Thalia lost her brother and then found Annabeth and went ''oh look. Jason 2. yeah this will fill the void in my heart just fine''#anyways this does make Jercy VERY funny. Percy looking between Annabeth and Jason and going ''mhm. mhm. yeah.''#anyways if you are a jason lover but annabeth hater or vice versa. look inside yourself...... you may just find. two. of the same character

“well gray hair is hotter on men than it is on women generally—” well what if i killed you.
#i think you guys just hate women existing at all to be honest.#men can get the grace to age at all meanwhile a woman is 35+ and you think she should and/or does look an old crone. Jail

Pov Thalia when she comes back to consciousness and the guy who was supposed to be her best friend turned to Kronos, committed numerous crimes (including POISONING HER TREE)
#pjo#pjo fanart#percy jackson#thalia grace fanart#thalia grace#luke castellan#the heartbreak she must have felt#he literally poisoned her tree i'd never recover#drawing#art#meme art#pjo meme#i'd strangle him#but for real it must have been crazy from Thalia's perspective#seeing Annabeth all grown up#and discovering another forbidden kid???#seeing Grover again must've been the only great thing#since he probably didn't change much (he ages 2x slower soo)#poor thalia

personally, if i were the hero of ferelden trying to find a cure to the calling, my first port of call would be the wilds flower that saved my tainted dog in ostagar. but what do i know!
#the wilds flower that looks identical to andraste's grace#the same andraste's grace that leliana's always been around#the same leliana that's resistant to the taint#INCHRESTING#dragon age#op

gay awakening - @femslashfortnight
does it count as a gay awakening if something was awoken one day in her childhood but she'll literally never acknowledge it?
