#but i needed to get the info out there ok

[wildmelon]

things that are bothering me the most:

antaam stuff makes no sense, full stop. it's also explained poorly/insufficiently.

most of what we see of rivain is completely uninhabited. i also don't care about more warden shit there, i was looking forward to more lore on rivaini people and culture, especially the seers obviously, we've been dying to know more about them for three games.

every elf we've met is ok with the huge revelations that their gods aren't what they seemed and this process happened offscreen. i would think there would be many different reactions to the spread of info about the evanuris, and i would think it would be extremely important to make it clear that info had spread pre-game.

the venatori are the same nonsensical vague useless boring cult with the most nothing goals. as incredibly lame as they are, it's even stretching my suspension of disbelief that they'd serve elven gods for vague promises of 'power' given tevinter's extreme history with the elves. i would think this would come up at least one single time.

the past two points are part of an overarching issue. the contentious and complex political landscape of thedas that makes the setting interesting feels flat. i'm supposed to believe NO ONE in super-elf-racist tevinter would blame the elves for their gods terrorizing thedas? even inquisition acknowledged this, w solas/inky showing concern that revealing the orb was elven would lead to elf racism.

i'm supposed to believe NO elves who've been oppressed by humans for centuries would think 'fuck them' and join up? what happened to the elves who joined solas at the end of trespasser when they heard he was trying to bring back their empire? at least inquisition had wacky cults for every side.

walking down the street in minrathous as an elf or qunari with no difference is simply absurd, i would literally rather never visit tevinter if they were going to implement it so toothlessly. where is the immediate opinion hit for being a mage/elf the inky takes in orlais???

yes the tone is off and a little shallow. yes the companions communicate too healthily for my tastes. yes i was dreading 'evanuris are behind everything' lore reveals and that's what we got. but i honestly think i could overlook those things if the above problems were solved and it felt like the same immersive, problematic thedas.

i'm so completely infuriated by the worldstate choices i'm going to make a separate post about it. but yeah i was concerned but made no noise, i was willing to wait it out and see how the three choices played out in game. and it's absolutely ridiculous that so far two out of fucking three have basically no impact, and the last one idgaf about unless inky romanced solas. i'm so so so so mad and disappointed about this, especially after staying open-minded when it was initially revealed.

everyone loves companion quests, so i don't know why the game feels like it needs to sell you on their significance. why did we get two different scenes of varric spelling it out to rook: do the companion side quests, or else they won't be able to focus! it's such a weird and superfluous tie-in. i don't get why they went so out of their way to clarify this when it didn't need to be clarified, companion side quests are expected in rpgs and their relevance to the plot is very easily accepted/overlooked.

To all the Americans doom scrolling tumblr rn...

I am not American, nor am I old enough to vote yet as I missed being the legal voting age for my province by only about a week- curse my extremely late birthday.

(which weirdly enough has also had such an incredibly tight election that they are still counting the votes right now even though it happened 2 weeks ago because the two parties are basically tied. }

but I am also very worried for you guys way down south. Hopefully America will put the right person into power this time and everything ends up being ok for you all. Not to be too cliché but I am sending thoughts and prayers and I hope you guys all stay safe down there. I honestly can't even imagine how you guys fell- I don't even live there and I've been feeling increasingly nauseous as the hours go by and I have had to offline for the most of the day.

Remember:

To take care of yourselves. Just in general, in whatever way you see fit

You absolutely do not have to live stream the election polling/results thing on TV, doom scroll election content the whole day long, watch the news, or consume any other election related content. As horrible as it feels to say this; the results will be the same regardless of whether or not you are watching it. Sometimes it is just better for you and your mental health to just log off of sm/screens for the night

If it all does feel like its getting too much for you, please log off/take a sm/screentime break

Most importantly, if you haven't already, please vote!!!! I am not American and am barley old enough to be considered a legal voter (Missed my own countries election *tears*) so I can't really help in terms of providing resources but I am sure there are all sorts that can help you I'm sure. I know that its getting late at night; some polls have closed already but not as many as you would think. I found out that most are actually open way later than I thought. As it turns out, some are even open til 1! You learn something new every day I guess!

Just Please, Please, Please go out and cast your ballot and make your voice known, with how close this is quite literally every voice matters!!! GO VOTE!!!

I'm not really sure what other useful info I could put as I don't know much about America or it's electoral system but I hope that helps.

A lot of people I have seen have been posting about how they feel sick to their stomach's and that they can't get off the news and how they just feel terrible so...

Things you can do to distract yourself for the rest of the night (And possibly the next few days, idk how long it takes to count votes)

Have an early bedtime/take a late nap (Only go to bed after 9 at least though, otherwise you'll mess up your sleep schedule and make you feel worse.) Just sleep your way througb it if you cant help it.

To add on to point one I often use asmr if I can't fall asleep right away/to distract myself. My favorites are: Jaden Aliana Asmr, Oceans Asmr, Kaitlynn Reha asmr, and my absolute favorite Goodnight Moon ASMR (Check out her babble brook, 1920's, or valley girl series')

Listen to a podcast (I like Rotten Mango- informative true crime, Buzzfeed unsolved- funny true crime/ghost hunting, Look behind you- also true crime, and Chris Chan; a comprehensive history)

Never too late for some cleaning! Clean your house, bathroom, bedroom, closet, do a deep clean.

If your a student like me- do your schoolwork! I know you have some studying or homework that needs to be done! Get on it!! I use the pomodoro method if that does anything

Have a self care night- do an everything shower or fancy bath, make facemasks, mani pedi's ect.

Watch a movie or marathon t.v shows you love/that are comfort shows (Some of my comfort shows are; Bobs burgers, Gravity falls, the moomins 1990, the office, what we do in the shadows, black books, derry girls, moone boy, and all creatures great and small and M.A.S.H. Some of my comfort movies are; Little women, the cornetto trilogy, Emma, Legally blonde, Pride and Prejudice)

Never too late for some cooking! One of my favorite hobbies is cooking and baking (Mostly baking) Make some chocolate chip and snickerdoodle cookies, muffins, cupcakes or try a fun cake.

Go for a night walk! Just make sure you bring a buddy and some flashlights of you're in total darkness like I am right now. (Love me a Canadian fall! Already snow where I am so of course that means everyone now needs to immediately put up Christmas decorations lol. At least the lights are nice at night)

Spend time with loved ones. Call or text a friend, spend time with your family, roommates, whoever. If your on campus at a uni see if there's literally any activities or clubs open at this hour you can go to

Read. I know you have a tbr you keep meaning to get to

Go on a research rabbit hole about something interesting. Try to learn something new. Some topics to get you started relating to where I live cause why not; Try to learn about : The Animals of Canada, Indigenous cultures and peoples of Canada- ex: try to learn some Cree or Halqemeylem phrases, try to memorize all of our provinces and territories.

Get through any chores you still have to do

Make/do something creative: Play an instrument, record a song, make a collage, paint, draw

Play some music, listen to your favorite songs on loop (Spotify's still collecting data for wrapped!)

Download a videogame on your phone- just one to pass the time even if its total addictive trash. Some ones I like: Moomin town- Idle, relaxing, town building, slowpaced, free, Miriam webster quizitative- free, wordgames, has an end to it, Toca boca hair salon- not free, hair salon game, endless, Toca boca town- not free but there are dupes, dollhouse game, bird bnb- townbuilding, slowpaced, as well theres all sorts of cute isle cat games; I like the grocery store and cafe ones

Make sure to:

Drink water

Eat at regular intervals

take breaks from screens (It'll hurt ya eyes)

get some sleep at some point

Don't sleep all day (Try to get up at a normal time)

if you feel like you need- put screen time limits on your phone. Or as well, turn down the brightness if you feel you have to doom scroll.

That's all for now. Hope you guys are doing ok and that the results are what we are all hoping for. Just know that you are in pretty much everyone's minds and we are all thinking of you (Even if we don't live in America). Stay safe and take care of yourself and your mental health.

Love, thoughts, prayers, and support from Canada/Tumblr and have a good night.

Congrats if you managed to get through this absolute brick of text. I commend you. I'll probably check back in tomorrow.

Mum I love you

Info:  y/n has been part of the supernatural cast from the beginning as the youngest Winchester. She recently lost her mum from cancer and it’s her first convention since the loss, leading to questions being asked.

Relationship: Supernatural cast x platonic reader

Warnings: Mention of loss of parent, cancer, grief

Y/n lay on her hotel bed, staring at the wall in front of her as she lay on her side. Thoughts of her mum were evident in her mind, the last moments she had with her and the duration of her life with her. y/m/n had just lost her battle with cancer, and at the young age of 21 y/n was completely lost without her. She still remembered getting the call from her father, telling her to come to the hospice because her mother was asking for her. She remembered her dad meeting her at the entrance, him pulling her into a hug and kissing her head, before she walked into her mums room, crouching down to hug her tightly as she whispered her sorries and I love yous.

The funeral had a big turn out, y/m/n was the type that everyone loved for. Among those that turned up for y/n, were Jared and Jensen, along with cast and crew of Supernatural. They had been on a break from filming, and y/n had been at home when she was told her mother unfortunately wasn’t going to win her battle. Jensen remembers y/n calling him in the middle of the night, crying after receiving the news. Their time zone was different, and y/ didn’t think about what time it was, wanting to rant to someone. He was straight on the first flight when she told him her mother had passed, calling Jared on the way, and arrived on her doorstep, confusing her father. It was no secret that y/n had a close relationship with her co-stars, but Jensen and y/n were like the father daughter duo on set. So when the duo turned up, y/f/n just showed them to her room and left them alone. Y/n had been distraught, starring at the wall, wrapped in her mother’s dressing gown that she wore all the time. She refused to acknowledge the two lads at the start, but once she felt Jensen’s hand on her back, she broke down, and she screamed as she clung to him, Jared holding her hand over his shoulder.

---

The hall where the convention was taking place was packed. Crowds of supernatural fans had came, wanting to catch a glimpse of the three Winchesters. Dean, Sam & Isla were fan favorites, and the relationship between the three actors were something people loved to see. When they heard that y/n was returning to conventions after a long personal break, fans went wild, and y/n could feel the energy from back stage. She pulled her top over her hands as she flapped them about, before gasping in shock when arms wrapped around her from behind.

“Please welcome the Winchester clan, Jensen Ackles, Jared Padalaecki and the lovely, y/n l/n.” Was heard over the speaker before y/n moved away from Jensen as they walked up the steps.

“I’m with you if you need me.” Jensen’s voice came over her shoulder before kissing her cheek.

“Yea.” Y/n spoke softly, leaning back on him, smiling at Jared as he came to them, doing their handshake.

Y/n giggled a little as Jared jokingly slipped on the last step before waving to the crowd while Jensen messed with Jared in picking him up and making sure he’s ok. Y/n rolled her eyes at their antics before sitting on the middle seat, waiting for the guys to sit down before shaking her head. She tried to keep a smile on her face as the Q&A begun.

Y/n smiled out to the crowd as the crowd settled down from the comedic start, waving at some of the phones that were evidently recording. Jensen couldn’t help but watch y/n for a moment with a slight smile before turning his attention back to the fans as the questions begun. Y/n was relieved that most questions were upbeat.

“Are you alright Jared?” Y/n asked, placing a hand on Jared’s arm in comfort.

“I don’t know, that was a big fall.” Jared stated, pouting a bit.

“Well with your height I’m not surprised.” Y/n teased him, and he gasped in mock hurt as laughs were heard.

“Why I never.” Jared stated.

“She’s back.” Jensen smiled to the crowd, holding a hand to y/n as Jared moved away from y/n.

“My question is for Jensen and Jared.” A woman around the lads age spoke out.

“That’s exclusion.” Y/n piped out, pointing at the woman who looked down.

“Now y/n, let’s not be rude and let the nice lady ask her question.” Jensen scolded y/n jokingly, causing y/n to hang her head in shame.

“I have grown to feel like I have watched y/n grow up on screen, and I find it emotional watching her character evolve from the little scared girl to the young independent woman, and I was wondering how does it feel to watch y/n grow from the little 7 year old girl to this young 21 year old woman we see in front of us today.” The woman spoke, and y/n blushed as she looked down.

“Well I for one am personally incredibly honored to have had the chance to be around y/n since she was so young, you know. It’s not something that typically happens in our line of work, you know, working for 13, 14 years together. You generally don’t get that opportunity a lot of the time.” Jensen spoke, using his hands to express himself.

“Most of the time children don’t last very long on a show, they just don’t have the attention span. So when I first seen that there was going to be a little girl or boy, we didn’t know at the time whether or not Dean and Sam were going to have a little brother or sister, I was a little taken aback. Because the hours we do are so demanding and obviously you can’t have a child on set for 13 14 hours a day, you know, it’s not realistic. But y/n, you know, the moment we done auditions with her, we automatically knew that she was a good match for us.” Jared explained, smiling at the memory of their first meeting.

“Y/n was this shy little girl when she came in and as soon as Bobby called action she just turned like that “ Jensen clicked his fingers together, “She was amazing, and I mean you guys seen on the show how great she was.” Jensen bragged, causing cheers to abrupt from the crowds.

“Alright alright.” y/n spoke, using her hands to tell them to pip down.

“No but honestly, this woman. She really is something else. I mean watching her grow up, I have enjoyed it. I still remember her clinging to me on set every day for the first few months of filming. She would refuse to leave my side if she could.” Jensen smiled softly, placing a hand on y/n’s shoulder.

“Yea she took to you really quickly, which kinda hurt I won’t lie.” Jared joked at the end, making y/n smile sadly at him. ��Nah, but she has truly become family, and there is nothing that I wouldn’t do for this kid.” Jared spoke proudly, taking y/n’s hand in his to give it a squeeze.

“I still remember when she was young she came to these conventions and mostly stayed behind, but every now and then she would run on stage, if the guys were playing she would dance with the beat until myself or Jared would take her. She would just sit there with her goofy little smile, poking us with her little fingers until we would jokingly bite them.” Jensen spoke with a laugh, causing y/n to giggle slightly.

“Now she hurts with her words so I guess some things never change.” Jared joked causing y/n’s jaw to drop in mock shock.

“She has grown so much more confident in herself which I love to see. I’m like a proud father I have to say.” Jensen spoke with a smile, causing the crowd to awe as y/n leaned her head on Jensen's shoulder.

“Thank you for your question.” Jared smiled at the woman before they moved onto a younger girl.

Moving to the corner of the stage, y/n kneeled down as she watched the girl rush towards her. Tears built in y/n’s eyes as he wrapped her arms around the girl who was close in age to her, breathing out heavily as she controlled her emotions before speaking.

“Hey guys, my name’s Amelia.” The girl spoke softly.

“Hi Amelia.” Y/n smiled at the girl who was close to y/n’s age.

“Who’s your question for Amelia?” Jared asked.

“ My questions for y/n.” She spoke hesitantly.

“Yes.” Y/n celebrated, smiling widely at the girl.

“I don’t want to thread on your emotions and I know this is a little personally, but as we all know you just lost your mum to cancer.” The girl spoke timidly, and y/n’s breath hitched a little as she nodded, “ And well, I recently just got told that my mum hasn’t got that long left so I was just wondering, how do you deal with that news?”

Jensen and Jared looked at y/n with sad smiles, not knowing how she would react or what to say.

“Can you come closer, because firstly I want to give you a hug.” Y/n spoke with a cough, and she dropped the mike on the chair as she got up.

Y/n smiled a watery smile as she felt the tears begin to fall. Quickly wiping them she stood back up from her position and headed back to where Jensen and Jared were watching the scene with sad smiles. Jared placed a hand on her back as she grabbed her mike and sat back down before Jensen took her hand, squeezing it.

“You make your mum proud, I can tell how much she means to you. My mum meant a lot to me too,, still does. But you have to brave for her which isn’t easy. Watching her go from the strong woman you know to someone who relies on you for everything isn’t easy. I’ve been there, it’s not nice. But you can’ show her how you feel. If she sees you smile, she’ll be happy. And that’s all that matters.” YY/n whispered to her, not breaking the hug.

“I’m scared of life without her.” The girl sobbed.

“I know you are, I was too. I still am, just remember the good times. And remember, there are people around you who are there for you. I’m here for you. Never forget that.” Y/n whispered before kissing the girls cheek and moving apart from her.

“Thank you.” The girl stated softly, wiping her cheeks.

“It doesn’t matter who you are or what age you are, grief is always tough. It comes in waves. But it hits different when you’ve been told your going to lose someone close to you, and you have to grieve them while they’re right in front of you. You grieve the times you had before and the times you’ll never have. But what never changes, is the love you have for them.” Y/n spoke with shaky breathes, and the crowd smiled weakly at her. “I love you mum.” Y/n spoke softly into the mike, and Jensen pulled her into a hug as the tears began to fall.

May I request Nathan with a masculine presenting/tomboy s/o? Only if you're ok with it! Much love <3

I'm so sorry this has taken so long!

Nathan Bateman x GN!Reader • Rating: 18+ pals Masterlist• ao3• want to be tagged? | request info • buy me a coffee? • ask-travaganza masterlist •

Warnings: references to hard ons, not beta read, please let me know if I have missed a warning!

Word Count: 251

No matter what clothing style you’re into, Nathan is into it. Suits? Baggy clothing? Tight-fitting clothing? Whatever it is, he’s simping and letting you use his credit card to buy whatever the hell you want as long as he can look at you will you wear it. 

Will totally get you a personal tailor so that you can have things to suit your taste and body shape.

Would you like to work out with him? Could you hold his punching bag while he boxes? He’s not using it as an excuse, what are you talking about?

Would you like to wrestle? No reason, of course, it’s just a thing he does, with everyone, please don’t pay attention to why his baggy shorts are suddenly very tight. 

Will say he ‘lets you win’ (he doesn’t) and that you have an ‘unfair advantage’ (his boner).

Please, please, I beg of you. Put this man in a headlock. He’ll get so hard, so quickly. 

Manhandle him a bit, he needs it for his mental health. 

Loves hearing you talk about your hobbies and things you enjoy, would watch you for hours if you let him. 

Will fight anyone who says anything rude about your appearance or style choice. Even when you manage to convince him to back down, it’s really odd, because someone seems to have hacked their social media accounts and released their porn viewing history.

Gives you a jar to open for him and nearly comes in his pants when you do.

Thank you for reading!

what am I doing with me life

@hugsandchaos u r cool so I'm @ ing u here (sorry for the disturbance)

Ok so ive been thinking of my Fontaine Park au annnnd I have come to a problem of sorts.

So I've only managed to watch like to first e episodes of Danny phantom and an explained video of it and just the wiki and headcannons and fanfiction for info about the phandom.

Anyhow this are just ideas or key details I need help with, if you want to and also if you know the story of Fontaine on Genshin impact.

Ideas:

Old archon = Pariah dark?

Celestia = observers or the infinite realms?

Sin = ?

Oratrice = ?

Prophecy = destruction of Amity park or death of the people of Amity park?

Would everything in canon actually happened and Amity and it's people were killed/destroyed and Danny went to Clockwork and was told that this was the inevitable fate of Amity and Danny asked him to put a time loop at Amity that will keep resetting everytime said destruction is fulfilled till he finds a way to save Amity going so far to live years in the past making him the first halfa instead of Vlad?

Or would everything in canon be over written as a new story where Danny is already older and a half a when he recruited Vlad and time flies for both immortal that Vlad in those years has let go of him hatred for Jack?

How would the DC characters be like if this was a Dcxdp crossover?

AAAAAHHHHHHH MY BRAIN IT BURNS

I'll appreciate all the help though you don't have to I'm just getting out of my mind and I most likely won't even make a fanfiction about it

anyways thanks for reading this dump trash of ideas my brain suddenly sprouted

[officialjohnjones]

Actually... That gives me an idea for our next steps!

Ok, here's what we do: Evie, coordinate with Odette. She knows Order protocols better than any of us, and between the two of you, we should be in their systems and knowing everything they know by the end of the week.

Venge, I need you to locate Jersey and Wrecker, make sure they're doing alright. Wrecker is probably with his family, but Jersey is likely incredibly confused right now, so bring him back here.

Meg, if you please, see how "in" your wastelanders can get with the lower echelon of the Agency people. Midas was always a paranoid and untrusting sort, but his agents were all much more friendly. Skye, TNTina, Brutus... If any of them are here, they might be convinced to be friendly-- especially if my hunch is correct, and their boss's booting out of his leadership role was a messy affair.

Skull, see if you can join the Party these VIPs seem to be holding-- I hear Peely has extra invites. Festive atmosphere means loose lips, after all. Bring Blaze if you want, make it look like a date.

I'll get into some of these Agency locations, and get hard data for Evie and Odette to comb over. I remember all of these old IO codes and info, so it shouldn't be a problem for me to get in and out undetected.

Between all of that, we should have a solid base by the end of the week to come up with a concrete "How" and "Why" for what we're doing here. Any objections?

Ok, alright everyone, thank you for coming here. I know the past day has been a lot of chaos, and I'm glad we're all still safe, if a bit unsteady.

First off, I gave Triage one of our Choppers so he can move around more freely. If anyone is feeling unwell, do not hesitate to contact him. He is a doctor, either he can help, or he'll do his best to do so.

Secondly, how have your experiences been so far? I have only been able to get to a few places on the island, so hearing about how you all have fared will help us to get a complete picture.

[elmo-f-tree]

hi! hello! are you thinking about watching dragon age absolution but are worried you won’t know what’s going on because you haven’t played the games? i’m here to help! here are some bare bones basics to help understand the series!

-Game order: Origins, 2, then Inquisition.

-Classes: Warrior, rogue, and mage. All are self-explanatory if you are familiar with fantasy in any way.

-Races: There are humans which are just humans. They can act as any of the three classes. You can play as a human in all 3 games. Elves experience fantasy racism and tend to live in alienages inside of cities or in Dalish clans outside of cities. They are slightly shorter than humans. They can also act as any of the three classes. You can play as an elf in Origins and Inquisition but not 2. Dwarves tend to live underground unless their family has been shunned or some other series of events led them to the surface. They are shorter than both humans and elves and usually stockier in build. They have no connection to the Fade so they cannot be mages and cannot dream. They can be either rogues or warriors. You can play as a dwarf in Origins and Inquisition but not 2. Qunari are horned, grey-skinned people from Par Vollen unless they are Tal Vashoth which just means they don’t live by the Qun which I will explain later. They are taller than all of the other races. They can also be any of the three classes. You can only play as a Qunari in Inquisition.

-Creatures: Nugs are kind of like hairless rabbits. They’re all over the place. I’m pretty sure Miriam had a nug stuffed animal in one of the flashbacks. Shades are depicted in the series as the somewhat purple and look like they’re wearing robes. Pride demons are what the spirit of wisdom turned into when Rezaren pressured it into giving information it didn’t want to. Rage demons in the games look like they are made of lava and in the series look somewhat like glowing amorphous salamanders. Corpses are just reanimated corpses.

-Religions: The Qun is everything structuring the society in Par Vollen. It is the religion and the governmental rules. The Chant of Light is generally seen as the primary religion of Thedas (the world). The Maker is the main deity along with his wife Andraste. All of the religious figures of the Chant, except for in Tevinter, are women. In Tevinter, the Divine is a man. Dalish religion does not appear in the series, so I won’t be covering it here. However, it’s important to the games, which you will learn about if you decide to play them.

-Other Figures: The Inquisition was an organization formed during the events of Inquisition lead by the Herald of Andraste (the player character), Cassandra Pentagast, Leiliana, Cullen Rutherford, and Josephine Montilyet. The Herald of Andraste emerges from a large rift in the sky that appeared after an explosion at the Temple of Sacred Ashes (a sacred place to those who believe in the Chant) with a glowing mark on their hand that allowed them to seal other smaller rifts. They later go onto become the main leader of the Inquisition, gaining the title of Inquisitor. Cassandra is a Seeker which is one form of religious knight that the Chantry (leadership of the Chant of Light). She originally believes the Herald to be at fault for the explosion but later finds that is not the case. She worked directly under Divine Justinia, who was killed in the explosion, as her right hand. She can become the next Divine depending on your actions in Inquisition. Leiliana is a rogue, a spy, and a bard who is one of the Hero of Ferelden’s (player character) companions in Origins. She also worked directly under Divine Justinia except as her left hand. She becomes the Inquisition’s spymaster. She can also become the next Divine depending on your actions in Inquisition. Knight Commander Meredith is a character from 2. She leads the Templars, the other form of religious knights, in the city of Kirkwall for the duration of the game. At the end of the game Hawke (player character), is forced to kill her as she has been driven mad by a statue made of red lyrium, which I will elaborate on more later. Upon her death, she turns into a statue of red lyrium. She is the one in the red stone depicted at the end of the series.

The Blight: The Blight is likely the hardest piece of lore to explain to someone who has not played the games. Essentially, it is a disease whose exact cause is not entirely known. There is an explanation for its creation through the creation of the Darkspawn in the Chant of Light. However, it is unknown if that explanation is true. The story goes that Tevinter Magister’s in an attempt to prove their power walked into the Black City, basically the non-corporeal city of the Maker, and were then turned into the first Darkspawn. The Darkspawn are the carriers of the Blight. They’re pretty similar to zombies. The Darkspawn usually reside in the Dark Roads, underground tunnels that make dwarves’ subterranean lives dangerous, except during Blights. During blights they go to the surface. If a Darkspawn breaks skin with any form of their attacks, you will become infected with the Blight. Blights begin when Darkspawn seek out and find an Archdemon. Grey Wardens are people infected with the Blight in a specific way that it isn’t an immediate death sentence so that they can fight Darkspawn and kill Archdemons, ending Blights.

Lyrium: There are two forms of lyrium. The typical form is blue. It can be used by mages to replenish their mana or as an addictive, performance enhancing substance by non-mages. The other form is red. Red lyrium is lyrium infected with the blight, which gives it the ability to drive people mad. I generally think of it as being radioactive. Since only living things can be infected with the blight, we are forced to assume that lyrium is actually alive in some way. This could help to explain why Meredith is alive after the ending of 2.

Congrats on reading this far! You should be able to understand at least most of the lore mentioned in the series! I’m not going to say you will understand enough to talk about it with those of us who have played the games, but I only have so much time. Feel free to add on if you feel I’m missing something important! Or drop an ask in my inbox!

What about an AU where Manual replaces Aizawa as the 1-A homeroom teacher?

Oh boy we can fit SO MUCH projection into this one

1- Manual only applied to UA because he was applying a bunch of hero schools, and he didn't think he'd get UA but why not try, at worst it's extra interview practice before he really tries at Ketsubutsu. And then he got only got a job at UA and no other school, somehow. And he can't technically complain because UA pays the best and it's a job he signed up for, but how???

2. He also didn't apply as a homeroom teacher, but they offered it to him anyway and he uh doesn't really say no. He figured he could change positions after a few years already if he wanted to, and planned on it, but then realized he liked this position much better and so kept it instead

3. Actually you know what sure all the projection. His third year he ended up being freshman homeroom team lead, which he's pretty sure isn't supposed to happen- Vlad had more experience but said he wanted a break this year from it and no one else applied so....

4. His third year is also when he gets our beloved class 1A! They do not get expulsion threats, and go to orientation. Then Manual tells them they have an essay due at the end of the week, about why they want to be heroes and what their current plan is, to be completed before any combat training. Several students pitch a fit about writing when they want to learn how to fight, but Manual points out that as part of their training, they'll have to do a lot of unpleasant things. Will they put effort into the record keeping they need to learn as pros if they aren't willing to write a paper? Will they be able to communicate in team exercises if they can't even put what they want as a hero into words? How patient can they be for slow moving cases? The class can see his point even if it's not exciting.

The second day of school, two students hand him papers. Bakugou asks if he can start fight training sooner now since he did the whole dumb essay. Midoriya asks him to look over the first draft if he doesn't mind, because he just had a lot of ideas where to take it and wants it to be really good.

By the start of homeroom the second day, these two are no longer sitting in desks right by each other.

5. On the fourth day of school, while Manual has his class looking over their costumes and getting peer feedback, he realizes that Vlad usually would be sending bragging pictures of his class in rescue training right about now, to see if Manual could get his kids to beat them next week when they went to USJ. He sends a message. It doesn't go through.

He thinks "huh, that's weird" right before robot sentry alarms go off about vines erupting from USJ's roof and throwing students out frantically. Manual grabs the closest non combat adult in the hall to watch his class and runs to help figure out what's going on.

i miss renrennnnnnnnnn

[fandom-blackhole]

My friends, idk how, but im gonna figure out a way to share my final presentation with you guys for a class after I finish it. Because I'll be damned if I'm gonna be this passionate about this thing, do all the research, make a ppt AND cardboard tri-fold, and present this at a "Research Symposium" for 2 hours to whoever stops at my booth during finals week to not share with the people I like most 😤

Basically for the project we have to take a person or event and give background on them before analyzing them through a Social Psychology lense (bc the class is social psychology lol). AND GODS DO I LOVE SHIT LIKE THISSSSS. I will not be sharing what event I chose for two reason: 1) I want ya'll to read and learn about it through my post when I post it 😌 and 2) It's a REALLY obscure event from what I've gathered (like I barely have 5 sources for references and one's ONLY in german) and I doubt many would know what I was talking about.
