#and she often has that frustration

[13eyond13]

Do you think people might underestimate fem near due to her small stature and not take her seriously?

Yes, I think so probably

Wild how we know that Elizabeth Woodville was officially appointed to royal councils in her own right during her husband’s reign and fortified the Tower of London in preparation of a siege while 8-months pregnant and had forces gathering at Westminster “in the queen’s name” in 1483 – only for NONE of these things to be even included, let alone explored, in the vast majority of scholarship and historical novels involving her.

oihguiuhj omg. bee going back to the comet is givng me like last unicorn vibes like idk. like she used to be a immortal otherworldly being that was then forced to experience life and the bad and good things that come with it. but now she's back at her home with her sister mother thing but since she's gone through the experience of being with guto and hunter and stuff she could never be the way she was before she was taken from her home. would she even feel like she fits in with the rest of the comet anymore. she already didnt feel like she belonged on whatever planet fusionsprunt takes place in but what if now she feels like she belongs nowhere??? sorry for rambling, my brain is infected with bees.

Man. I love vivenne and I think she is overly hated by dragon age fans but also. I wish there were more option dialogues to actually debate her debate her. Like so far the dialogue has just felt like her lecturing me on why mage freedom is bad, despite my Inquisitor being a mage who grew up completely separate from the circle, and is doing perfectly fine yk? There may be more dialogue along that line later on but I can't remember it rn. Also you can SEE how hard they tried to tone down how bad the circles were in dai she says something along the lines of "most circles are lenient and you can leave and go anywhere you like" girl what are you talking about???? There was a little bit of that in dao (Wynne joining The Warden and Finn helping the Warden find Morrigan) but it definitely was not just an easy thing anyone could just DO from what I remember. That doesn't even bring up the fact that some mages don't even get a chance at their harrowing and are made tranquil even before trying it (like how Jowan was going to be made tranquil. I mean he was a blood mage but shhh) Also she says something about "a mage blew up a city with the snap of their fingers" I'm assuming she means anders and. I will have you know that he made that bomb all himself no magic whatsoever. Anyone could do that lmao

Stuck between laughing my ass off and banging my head against the wall bc. How does my aunt not realize she's being scammed.

[carefulfears]

thinking about how the ammunition that phoebe uses against mulder in fire is a childhood nightmare that he had shared with her, and how the world only has so much held over him because he shares so generously with it

i'd rather be friendless than to constantly have my boundaries disrespected

(( As a kinda silly OOC thing: I like conceiving of Miranda (and her connections through the Merkingdom) as being an anti-OP muse.

As in, I like the thought of, the more OP someone or something else is, the worse of a time they have being able to do anything to Miranda. She is, very intentionally and within the logic of her own universe, designed to be able to handle those with extreme power and authority and to be able to undermine everything they can throw at her and counteract anything that they try to do.

She's already a royal, next in line to her throne! She has to be able to fully handle other people in similar positions without risking any damage to her own, and this is something that she's dealt with her entire life. She very much knows all the risks associated as a part of her job, her title, her entire reason for being born, and she's well-trained in the formal and informal methods of striking down anyone else who might even come close to a position to her own.

Which, of course, means that muses that very much aren't OP, that are just normal people or much closer to it, are much, much more capable of threatening Miranda and the Merkingdom both as a point of intention. This is something that I very much want and very much want to encourage. Especially because the reason this is such a problem is the way that the Merkingdom and, thus, Miranda, entirely overlook and ignore such threats and treat them like non-issues. The fact that most Merkingdom royals, upon actually encountering a landfolk, have a range of responses from discomfort to dismissal to ignorance, is one that is very purposeful here. The ones that they're most likely to pay attention to are the ones in the most danger, and the ones that they aren't likely to care very much about beyond petty malice and as another means to inflate their own egos. And, as it is, the ones they're most likely to pay attention to are those that have decided to pose a risk.

And it's a thing that I've been dealing with from the beginning too. From the start of this blog I was very bothered by the idea that some OP character would decide to singlehandedly "fix" or destroy the Merkingdom from a position of equal or greater authority. Which is not to say that I didn't want it to be changed or that there weren't ways to dismantle it. But rather, I wanted it to be more organic, and I wanted to deal with the actual question of how that even happens, and I wanted to ask the question of what could measurably improve this situation and Miranda's life both.

Which meant that, yeah, the more OP a muse is the more intentionally destined for failure they are, and the closer they approach "some guy", the more they'll be able to achieve. Which is not to say it won't be difficult or hard to do, or that there's not the possibility for failure (again, even at her most basic, Miranda is a macropredator that can easily maim someone, but more typical "normal" muses are more likely to possess caution and try to read her body language before pressing her), but the fact remains, very intentionally, that they are the only ones who will be able to do it.

Honestly it’s actually kinda impressive how out of character people can write Janet Drake given that she has less than 30 comic appearances.
