So the trick to get you in the groove to work on on oc stuff is that first you put them in a fic for something your alredy working on and rhen let them bloom
You say that like you think I haven't tried it.
The problem is, for the way I write fanfic—I go hardcore on the canon compatibility—a really good fanfic OC has to be woven so deeply into the context of the original canon universe and canon story that you can't rip the canon out of them without undermining the whole foundation of their identity as a character. One you remove the canon, all you're left with is superficial surface details that no longer make sense without the canon you've stripped away.
For me developing the kind of OC that could stand wholly independent from the source material means a failure to write the kind of OC that I feel is appropriate for the fanfic I created the OC for. If the OC is whole and complete and fully developed and needs nothing if you remove the original canon context, then what the hell are they doing in that canon anyway? If the canon has no major impact on who they are?

it's so fuckin funny to me that one of the devs was like "oh the combat in veilguard will be ACTUALLY FUN" like... bitch i LIKED the combat in origins and 2! it was actually fun for me! the issue was that you fucking CHANGED it for inquisition, and now you're changing it again! it doesn't even feel like dragon age combat anymore! what is wrong with you
#origins was my favorite but da2 combat was still like... tolerable at least#and i still managed to enjoy it y'know#but inquisition completely dumbed down tactics to a point where i couldn't actually effectively strategise#and i fucking hate how they handled the mage skill trees#ik archery was better in 2 and inquisition than it was in origins but like#they could definitely have improved archery without taking away from the mage abilities!#“oh yeah let's completely remove the entropy/spirit/healing trees and expect everyone to be fine with it” please just go die in a hole rn#origins skill trees were my fucking favorite they were so versatile while still being well-organised and the mage abilities were the GOAT#ik some people didn't like origins combat but i think for veilguard bioware could've made like#a standard mode and an advanced mode for tactics and by default it would be set to standard but for those of us who like tactics#we could like go in and toggle the advanced mode and it would be completely separate from the difficulty settings so that if we just want t#have more control over the tactics we totally could. y'know. instead of bioware comepletely overcomplicating the combat#but then only giving us THREE (3) FUCKING SKILLS TO HAVE EQUIPPED AT ANY GIVEN TIME LIKE THE FUCKING DUMBASSES THEY ARE.#LIKE THE WHOLE CONCEPT OF VEILGUARD COMBAT HAS STRAYED SO FAR FROM DRAGON AGE COMBAT IN THE FIRST PLACE. UGH.#oh yeah that's right i got carried away but i do still need to tag this as dragon age lol#dragon age#dragon age veilguard#dragon age the veilguard#datv

there will always b ppl who only follow me for dark hoping to get wooed that's just the nature of having a legendary middleschool sexyman for a muse but amongst my personal fav dynamics for him is a muse that is in fact way older maturity-wise forced to deal with his teenaged audacity
#*・゚⊰ 𝐎𝐔𝐓 𝐎𝐅 𝐂𝐀𝐑𝐃𝐒. ⊱ ✦ › OUT.#how do i put this. hes canonically perpetually 16/17 he deserves to act like it#and people who can recognize it rather than treating him fully outright 'as an adult'#yeag#i say this doubly because so much of him really is just like.... troubled punk???#and any muse who actually digs and manages to get to know him a little#can have the sort of pity you're supposed to have for him as a chara#he might be a misshapen youth(tm) but he's not irredeemable he's just awkward and unfamiliar and thereby uncomfortable#with literally any sort of genuine intimacy or connection#outside of his immediate control. outside of the theatrics(tm)#he hides everything about himself most of the time he removes himself from happy pictures. he is a loud arrogant monster he is just a Boy#dark in particular is always at that awkward point of feeling like he's something stunted like he's too far gone#he's the one who feels like he's lost all his chances that other people deserve happiness but maybe not him#even if he still can't help but want it#but anyways this isn't just about him since i do think the kind of sigh-inducing behavior he gives to other muses#can be endearing in its own way. smth smth teenagers(tm)#older muses who can kind of recognize his behavior as something a little pitiful#as a defense mechanism that developed out of him just being so utterly alone and forced to be independent for his entire life#that's good........

why is it that i feel like if the cov didnt exist the crimson raiders would probably misidentify a lot of non pandoran people as bandits because the bandit designation is so weirdly arbitrary and bandits on other planets would obviously not behave the same as those on pandora. that is if the orientalised (and therefore homogenized) nature of the bandits wasnt a thing
oh, yeah absolutely. even the pandroan definition of bandit is meaningless because of how much it varies between individuals so the raiders being faced with outside populations would be. something. thank god maliwan and the cov are color coded because otherwise i think they’d get confused /j

to me this line doesnt just apply to vera (who passes away in the bad ending where she receives a guilty verdict; i intepret that as her committing suicide somehow) but also to thalassa... my personal interpretation is that her accident just took away her eyesight and her amnesia was a psychological response to all of her trauma, bc of how hesitant she is to try and recover her eyesight/memory while she was lamiroir + this quote from her in this same scene
Tumblr media
so i think this whole "having something worth living for" line applies to thalassa too, bc the mason system didnt just supply vera's innocence, but also gave thalassa a reason to look forward to life (she learns tht she has two children who grew up into happy and healthy young individuals)... 🥹

i wanna hear more ab your raz age up (mostly so I can draw ours together sffbgnv)
Ohgh I'm always willing to talk about him more I've been thinking so much about him recently, especially with how he reacts when he comes to the realization that being a Psychonaut is a lot more paper work than he would have expected it to be.
After being in the field for roughly 18+ years the awe and wonder of being a Psychonaut has eventually lost its charm. He still wouldn't be any other place though, since it is, in fact, his dream job still (to some extent) and he feels like after being there for so long he's stuck with it. He's always so buried in paperwork, always trying to sort it out in his dorm room (which at this point has become a den full of mountains made of files and inevitable papercuts)
Sure once he finally gets a mission to go on he can actually stretch his legs and do something somewhat entertaining, but even the mission work has gotten repetitive. Like, yeah alright we get it you want to take over the world, can you just skip to the part where you tell us where the bomb is please.
The downright repetition of it all has taken a toll on his childlike sense of adventure, and all the little things keep getting more and more mildly annoying by the day. When he was around 22 he decided to go to college in an attempt to break away from it for just a little bit, and that's where he and Chloe became acquainted.
Because of the predictability of it all, he's become quite fluent in snark and sarcasm, and while he still upholds the professional demeanor and performance he's always had since he was younger, he also tends to act quite nonchalant in what would be quite dire situations to most regular people. Usually shrugging off or rolling his eyes to all the empty threats the villains tend make. He's a younger sibling as well, so of course he knows a thing or two about how to push buttons and get into mischief and get away with it. While hes not as much of a wild card as Bobby or Lili, he tries to use these skills to his advantage to try and bring back some kind of thrill into his work.
All in all, he's tired. He still manages to have fun, but he's tired. Unless he can find a good case or mystery to keep him occupied for a while, he'll be sitting in his dorm sifting through paperwork while going through a pack of cigarettes. The boredom man... It wasn't until he started his counselor job at Whispering Rock that things started to get a little more interesting

got a new hard drive (had to, no space left 😔), so I'm using that as a reason to completely reorganise my files (mostly shows, movies etc)
I'm having such a good time 💖
#not sarcasm! it's so fun#the only thing that sucks is that I managed to break sonarr somehow. didn't touch a thing but okay sure#I'll figure it out#I've got to wait for a couple cables that we had to order anyway before I can start moving stuff around#I've been sooo frustrated with how chaotic everything has been so this is gonna be great#but yeah I've had to delete so much stuff already (not at all because I've been downloading too much John Larroquette stuff or anything...#😬😬)#and I've been complaining about it every day so my husband bought me a new hard drive 🙈#still not enough space but it'll do for now#I always think 'oh I'm not a data hoarder! I don't have nearly as much stuff as those guys on reddit or wherever!' but like. it's not#because I don't WANT to save all of it#I only have *checks* 16 TB now with the new hard drive. I'd absolutely get a bunch of 20 TB ones if I could but no instead I spend money on#dumb shit lol#anyway yay I can stop deleting movies! very exciting#lol if anything I'm a hard drive hoarder.... I've got 7 internal ones and 3 external ones now.#yeah I just add new ones and don't remove any#I don't even wanna say it because I'll jinx it but. I've never had a hard drive fail. in over 20 years of having computers. I'm scared it's#gonna happen but 🤷 so far it hasn't lol#well one external one started failing but it went gradually not all at once. so I was able to move everything off of it first#and I mean I have backups of everything that's important! but not any of the media stuff 😬 it wouldn't be awful but it'd definitely make me#sad because I'm sure there's things there's that I couldn't find anymore#personal

sometimes a girl just has to explain her favorite book to an imaginary version of the girl she has a crush on
#sometimes I wonder how I would explain to someone why I like dalinar kholin because every time I try to explain him it's always like#oh he did a few war crimes but it's okay because he was mind controlled and also accidentally had the war crimes removed from his memory#and then went through like decades???? of character development before having the memories reintroduced#and he was completely fucked up over it#he went through the half of the redemption arc where he changes the root cause of the actions that caused a need for redemption#now he needs to deal with actually having done the war crimes#tbh so far he basically just publicly admitted to the war crimes I don't think he's actually done anything for the people of rathalas#I really hope dalinar gets to get into this stuff with the rest of the alethi because this all kind of started with#the kholin brothers uniting alethkar but in doing so instilling a culture of competition and conflict instead of cooperation#which dalinar recognizes as a problem but has never addressed as a thing that he was at least partially responsible for#okay I need to check again but I think adolin is the new kholin highprince after dalinar stepped up as king of urithiru?#I guess he's kind of changing things due to the way he's leading the coalition not as the Blackthorn but as the Bondsmith#but he still kind of has to manage the Blackthorn persona because that's what people expect from him#he's been on a constant road toward becoming who he is today and I'm so proud of him#I really hope we get more focus on him in KoWT and on his relationship with adolin bc iirc he was just knocked out for all of RoW

Cases of Skin Rash are increasing everyday because of bacterial , fungal or viral infections , on the other sides alot of insects such as mosquitoes, ticks, fleas and flies, which act as vectors. What we are witnessing in shelter centers and displacement camps from the accumulation of stagnant water and inadequate management of waste and sanitation provides a fertile ground for disease vectors. Every day we see in our Medical point about 50 cases of multi-cause rash. 😥💔

Brute: ah yes I have finally gotten Softie to communicate with Queen and Alpha which has already done wonders for basically repairing the former and beginning the repairs for the latter. Maybe I can finally be free from this hell of my own creation and live with my loved ones happily -]
The evil and nefarious Beats:

#rat rambles#eternal gales#oc posting#I love past timeline beats sm shes so. <3#bestie when the two people who she destroyed herself to be able to stand by suddenly go oh yeah we were being shitty sorry lol#particularly with softie it burns because she had to smother and kill so many of her morals by staying by their side#so it feels like the rug is being pulled under her and she freaks out hard#despite the fact that shed at some point desperately wanted them to do smth like this them actually doing it feels like a personal betrayal#and for brute this is a particularly gnarly problem to try to keep from escalating#mainly because with the others even though shit is messy and complicated it ultimately could be largely helped through communication#but its that exact communication that causes beats to spiral and its rly hard for them to try to do damage control without like forcefully#seperating them the whole time which is Not feasible#and beats is a Very angry and vengeful person once you get on her shit list which is typically hard to do but this does it#which makes it hard to use memory carryover sceneanigans to help because even if brute fully explained the situation and looped enough#times to stop beats from getting flower powered shed still be fully on team lets just kill softie then#taking beats and removing her morals is a great way to get a guy who thinks murder can solve any problem#also this stuff is not at all easy to just fuck around and find out with because before Any of this other shit can happen softie needs#their character development first which is already a doozy to try and brute force#theres a reason why brute eventually said fuck it and rewound things to back when they were all kids#its not easy to be a relationship counselor to a group of teenagers who are very prone to murdering eachother and youre also a teenager#bro brute was a wrestler before all this they are Not equipt to deal with any of this#and even If they managed to get through all of that theyd still have to deal with the horrible realization that two completely separate#members of the friend group have been consistently murdering eachother every loop this whole time and now they have to deal with that#that never happens in canon ofc cause brute never got that far but I think if they did they'd just walk up to the time flower themself
