I've been betrayed. I've been on this website five minutes and I've already lost the game.

yesterday at the game shop someone asked me when I started 3D printing. I told them a couple years ago, it was really easy to get into, sometimes I make things for commission, etc etc

then this person, this child, looked me square in the face and said "do you think it's too late for me to start? I'm almost 17..."

17

almost 17

ALMOST. SEVEN. TEEN.

when I tell you my soul left my body over this child, this mere not-even-17 year old, thinking they were already too old to start a new hobby, lemme tell you, I did not know how to respond

so i need yall to repeat after me

it is never too late to start a new hobby

it is never too late to start a new hobby!

it is never too late to start a new hobby!!

you wanna learn to crochet at 47? go off king! learn to paint at 69? nice! learn embroidery on your death bed?? it is literally never too late!! you don't even have to be good. it's absolutely wonderful to see people who are just ok or even bad at something doing that something unabashedly and at whatever age they happen to be

I had my most triumphant he/himming yet today!!

A rather outgoing and eccentric couple came in that’s apparently going to be holding a meeting tomorrow about insurance options and enrollment for State employees. I spent a good ten minutes or so setting up their stay for the night, and in that time, we all chatted and laughed and even started singing at one point (I mentioned having VeggieTales songs stuck in my head, and it turns out they’d seen every episode too 😂). While I was finishing up, one of my superiors started asking about the insurance offerings and whether they’d apply to, say, part-time employees like me. The man gestured to me real casual and said “Oh yeah. Like if he wanted to apply or if he got a full-time job somewhere else—”

No hesitation. No pausing and glancing down at my chest. He and his wife and I had spoken and even sang for ten minutes straight, he’d seen me standing up and sitting down, and he still confidently called me “he” without a second thought.

God, I wanted to hug that man so bad. 😂

so i know there's a lot of comparisons made between the player characters of all of the da games but i've just mostly taken interest in the parallels between solas & sidri & the eventual difference between them that i think leads to solas have a story that's largely defined by regret and sidri with a story focused on peace. while i could go on about the numerous and (i think anyway) narratively rich parallels going to choose to go on about that primary difference that becomes so important: solas decides to change the essence of who he is for love and sidri decides to maintains the essence of who she is for love.

solas, as a spirit of wisdom, is noted as being gentle. there is nothing about him during as existence as a spirit that would ever hint at the dread wolf, at the desperate and viciously determined solas we see throughout all of veilguard and its many flashbacks. at mythal's request and out of love, solas makes the decision to alter the very core of his essence and take on a physical form. to be clear, solas wholly has his own agency and makes the many decisions that we see in flashbacks and as are revealed throughout veilguard, but there's no denying he is coaxed along by mythal to overlook his hesitations, worry and outright disapproval over the many actions he decides to take part in. the solas we see at the end of veilguard, to me anyway, feels recognizable from that gentle spirit: hardened by war, brutal if needed, and undoubtly driven by the profound, aching regret of countless centuries. solas changes because of and for love, for mythal, in a way that breaks him from that core he once was.

sidri, at her core, is gentle. to be clear, gentleness doesn't equal naivete as often as this site and fandom generally wants it to be, but this to say she doesn't want power or glory. her primary desire that guides her actions throughout the first quarter of inquisition is a revenge born out of fury for her brother as well as the goal of creating some sort of justice in an inherently inequitable world. however, instead of losing herself to that and losing herself to the endless brutal, miserable choices required of war like solas did, @extravagantliar reminds her time & time that she's more than her title. he reminds her to consider her own thoughts, her own feelings, time and time again when she begins to lose herself to the inquisition. she takes the first steps towards the well and is fully ready to change irreparably change herself because she thinks its not a unfair trade, just who she is for the knowledge needed to end this war, but it's varric who takes her wrist and begs her not to do it, that she as herself, not as the inquisitor, is worth saving and preserving. sidri is reminded of who she is at her core because of love and does change because of it, for varric.

i just think that dragon age, over and over again, shows that when you fundamentally alter the essence of something you irreparably wound it, that when you rip something from its core you break it in a way that is almost always beyond repair. sidri makes the choice to preserve herself and recognize that there's something beyond the inquisition and being the herald of andraste because of and for love. her life becomes defined by the decision to seek peace over power. for solas, he makes the decision to change himself for love and makes so many choices that go against his true nature in furtherance of an end. poor solas then has a narrative all but wholly marked with regret and the desperation to undo those very many mistakes and there's just a quiet, aching tragedy to that and him because of it.
