Precisely this. It’s why I’m a multishipper and why I enjoy so many different types of fanworks. Because they all have potential and I like to explore every aspect of that potential in all the directions it can go.

want to be clear that if i ever talk about a headcanon and then later discuss a headcanon that is directly contradictory to the first one, that’s because headcanons exist in a quantum state where they are all simultaneously true and not true up until the point where i discuss it in detail, in which case that is the one that is true in that instance. schroedinger’s headcanons

Can i ask how u feel about elthina then? Since u said ur feelings are complicated. Dw if u dont want to answer!!!

undeniably the true antagonist to da2 and in my opinion a very clever representation of the chantry's frankly terrifying role in like. all of the major conflicts of da2. but also painting her as inaffably evil or acting out of some diabolical self-serving purpose is (imo) hugely missing the point

It USED to be Gaz. I like his design, his voice, his characterisation. There are lines he has that make him feel truly three dimensional with internal/moral conflict and I enjoy it

Now?

It's PHILLIP FUCKING GRAVES

I genuinely used to hate Graves but he ended up growing on me a lot. He's very well written and his dynamic with the 141 (especially Soap), Los Vaqueros, and his Shadows is really enjoyable to me. I always end up being a fan of villainous characters I fear 💀

And one of my headmates finds him hot asf

As is customary, I hit my favourites with the disorder beam. And tbh my favourites usually end up getting NPD. But if you look at the DMS-V criteria I think it's a scope you can easily look at him through. He's very narc to me and I do adore narc-coded characters

^ I'm about 98% sure the source for this list is the DSM-5. I used this as framework for the NPD Graves headcanon :) It has a lot more detail about etiology and other symptoms/behaviours/etc, so if you'd like to read, it's here

Thank you Gomz for the exuse to go on about my favourite war criminal who I hate

I would like to know what everyone’s fav wife/husband/blorbo is

It's ironic how a major part of Lord of the Rings is that storytellers always overlook hobbits in their legends because their simple lives are "less important" than the lives of Great Royals & Grand Warriors--- since that's ultimately been reflected in the current state of the Tolkien franchise itself! After the LOTR films, big-budget Tolkien franchise installments (and copycats) overwhelmingly focus on their Aragorn analogues, with hobbit-like characters shoved to the sidelines. The Lord of the Rings films may be flawed, but they succeeded because they had a strong central story-- the relationship between Frodo and Sam, and the fairytale-themes about small overlooked people who save the day while the villains are distracted by Great Heroes from Noble Bloodlines, are what give the story the deep lasting emotional impact that it has. But the franchise(tm) quickly decided that the royal warrior elves/men were the far more exciting marketable characters, and their battle skills could allow for more flashy spectacle. The Hobbit films gradually focused more heavily on the warrior characters, with Bilbo being a glorified extra by the last movie; The Amazon LOTR show focuses on a noble warrior elf of royal blood as its main character and political intrigue among the royalty of different kingdoms as its main plot; the recent animated film focuses on a noble hero of royal blood involved in epic battles. I've mentioned before that it's fascinating how all the new "Tolkien franchise" installments (as well as media inspired by LOTR) continue to center their stories on the Aragorn archetype-- a Destined Noble Hero/Warrior from a Royal Bloodline etc etc. The entire premise of Lord of the Rings is that Aragorn represents the hero of a typical generic fantasy epic, while the ordinary Hobbits are the heroes of this one. Aragorn is interesting not in spite of the fact that he is a side character, but because of it. If he were the central character of the story, Lord of the Rings would be very bland and generic. "Let's do a new version of Lord of the Rings but focus on powerful grand royal hero characters instead" is a lot like saying "let's do a retelling of Wicked from Dorothy's point of view." It's like, "congrats! you've successfully reinvented the exact type of story the original writer was commenting on and subverting." XD

I guess Chilchuck has brought us right back to 'adults who are short are child-coded and if you like them you're a pedophile' discourse huh

[sidras-tak]

I don’t go to cons to “have fun” or “attend panels”. I go to cons to wander the artist alley in a daze and emerge hours later missing $200. I go to cons to think “hmm I should get some food. But the line is too long right now” every five minutes into perpetuity. I go to cons to say “you look so cool” at people in cosplay and have them not to hear me even a little bit.

So laios and fallin have been ostracized by society since they were children, Marcille has lifelong grief from constantly outliving her loved ones that leads her to dark magics, kabru’s village was destroyed by monsters, senshi and mithrun both have horror movie level backstories, izutsumi was sold as a freak show attraction, and then there’s chilchuck, who is a normal ass divorced middle aged man. And somehow he’s the most shady and secretive out of all of them

Edit can y’all please let me live I didn’t make this post bc I think chilchuck doesn’t have his own trauma or doesn’t experience racism or that being a union boss is a walk in the park or whatever I made it because him lying that he cheated on his wife to get the others to stop asking about his family was funny as fuck. Come on.

Not going to lie, a little annoyed all all the (virtually all USAmerican) people shocked and surprised about the explicit reactionary turn of various websites. Like, have we not been expecting this, have you not been paying attention? This was plainly the direction things have been going; did you all just, like, forget, magically, that the only reason the only reason such places 'accepted' LGBT people etc. in the first place is because it was, convenient? Profitable? Did you all just think that only applied to like, pride parades, slogans, and acrylic crap?

Even liberal leaders have begun (it started years ago, don't get me wrong,) to turn around on these things - to the extent that they ever even pretended otherwise. It was politically convenient, and now it isn't; exactly what we told you was always going to happen.

Are you going to actually do something about it, or are you going to turn around, again, and decide that all the monstrosity is Good once a democrat does it, again?
