The Siege at Weisshaupt is honestly one of the best missions of any Dragon Age game, let alone Veilguard.
The stakes are already high: kill an Archdemon and then kill Ghilan'nain.
Killing an Archdemon - the big bad at the end of Origins whose very presence means apocalypse and certain sacrifice - is just the first step to killing an even greater force.
Ghilan'nain - an Ancient Elven Goddess blighted beyond recognition, whose unchecked ambition unleashed great horrors upon the world - is the real threat to face or else the Darkspawn Army will be the least of Thedas' worries.
The leader of the Grey Wardens, the only mortal force who have thus far been able to protect Thedas from utter annihilation, categorically refuses to face reality. Rook only has a ragtag team of half a dozen guys from all over to face an entire Darkspawn army with.
It's exactly as terrifying and daunting as it sounds, and neither task is something anyone treats with any amount of levity. Everyone is confident in their abilities to perform their task and get Lucanis to the right place to finish this contract, but there's no playfulness or divine certainty about their success.
Rook, whose only game plan is "get in and win by any means necessary," is then immediately confronted with the reality of their situation as absolutely everything goes wrong.
The Eluvian isn't where they thought it would be, the Grey Wardens are overwhelmed by Ghilan'nain's forces, and just to add to the sheer horror - there's a young child running through this battlefield of Darkspawn in search of her father and she will not listen to your pleas for her to get to safety.
All of that happens in the first ten minutes of the mission, mind you. This isn't even including the fact that Ghilan'nain appears as a damn spectral cloud face - which Lucanis rightfully points out is who he has to kill and "how am I supposed to kill a damn cloud?!"
Rook runs through the fortress, makes it to the East Battlements and hears the sounding of a horn begging for reinforcements, only to realise that they're the only ones coming and everything is falling apart, but they have no choice but to keep going.
Retreats are called, everywhere Rook goes is the wrong way, the forces are overwhelming beyond measure, and this battle is no longer about killing but surviving, because they're cornered like prey by horrors beyond comprehension.
When all of a sudden, the world's bravest little girl rushes in like a hero and guides them through impossible odds to somewhere with some semblance of safety. She's the only reason they haven't succumbed to death already and despite the waves upon waves of Hurlocks, Spikers, and Ogres - she finds her father.
Thanks to Mila, there's a moment of reprieve. Rook gets a chance to breathe. The Veilguard regroups, replans their approach. Distract Ghilan'nain with the dagger, trap her Archdemon in a dragon trap, and kill it to render her mortal. With time to breathe comes time to doubt, to fear.
A Warden has to die to kill the Archdemon. Davrin knows this, and is ready to go. But is Rook? What if they can't do this? What if this is how they die? Can they even spare the time to think about it?
Regardless, they fight through to the dragon trap. The Archdemon approaches as Rook all but dangles the dagger within reach. She takes the bait and sends her Archdemon forth, it seems all too easy - like putting cheese out for the mice.
The Archdemon is trapped. Davrin says his goodbyes, but the First Warden surges forward insistently. He plans to end this according to tradition. He'll die with dignity, he's not asking for your permission to do what all wardens must. He steps forward. Sword in hand, ready to end the Blight.
Ghilan'nain will not be so easily beat. She will not play by the rules they're used to, and the First Warden does not get to die a hero. She seizes him in her grasp, sucks the life out of him to empower Razikale, and changes the game once more. Her Archdemon is unlike any seen in history, and there's no time to revel in it because it's do or die and Rook cannot afford to die yet.
Every blow brings it closer to death, and therefore Ghilan'nain herself as she becomes more and more desperate. One snakelike head becomes two, becomes three, with blight everywhere - the time is at hand.
Davrin is the only one left who can kill the Archdemon, his death is inevitable, and he's ready to go as he sinks his sword in for the final blow.
Except, if there's one thing this seige should have taught them all, it was this: the rules have changed. Davrin is still standing, and he doesn't have time to think about why, because Ghilan'nain is mortal and the time to strike is now.
Rook tosses the Lyrium Dagger to Lucanis. He surges up, wings of Spite propelling him up to kill a goddess like she's any other target, because it's all that he came here to do.
And then, he misses.
With everything at stake, and everything to lose... Lucanis Dellamorte misses.
They don't have time to try again. If they stay, everyone dies. And so, the Veilguard flees through the Eluvian and back into the Lighthouse. It was a victory, but at what cost?
Nothing is how it's supposed to be. Weisshaupt is fallen. The Wardens are scattered. Razikale is dead, Ghilan'nain is mortal. And yet...
It wasn't enough.
#dragon age the veilguard#dragon age#bioware#dragon age the veilguard spoilers#veilguard#da4#lucanis dragon age#davrin dragon age#Weisshaupt genuinely is amazing and I cannot express enough how much of a gem this mission is#it is beautifully devastating to have a win that categorically feels like a loss in the grand scheme of things#I have many critiques about Veilguard but Weisshaupt is not one of them

taking a moment to reflect on the fact that the bitches on tumblr have - informed me how to get paxlovid for free (bc I complained it costed $1600) - told me that my Kia car troubles were directly relevant to a lawsuit and that I could get kia to pay for the repair - told me how to get an emergency refill of an existing prescription that has run out of refills all because I complain so much on this website and the gay people in my phone genuinely have solutions to my problems that I wouldn't have known about
#got a fresh new bottle of my meds today btw that buys me time while I look for a new doctor#you have also done things like fund my breast reduction but I'm not sure if that is categorically the same#sergle.txt#sometimes people give you advice/solutions on the internet and they are actually the exact info you needed

kevin day
watched a man be cut into pieces when he was 12 so he would understand what happens to those who defy the moriyamas
was raised in a cult, subjected to extreme labour and pressure and expectations from a young age, running on 16 hour days with no privacy and little to no autonomy
was raised in an environment where everything hinged on his ability to play. was deprived of food and rest if his performance wasn't satisfactory
was abused physically, emotionally, psychologically by his coaches, his godfather, his 'brother'. was forced to watch said brother inflict unimaginable torture on his friend for years
was forced to hide all of that due to also being a celebrity and growing up in the public eye
unexpectedly had to remove himself from that toxic but familiar environment, leaving his friend behind, in order to survive
had to learn how to function outside of that environment while adapting to a new team and using his non-dominant hand for everything in mere months
so yes i think he deserves some respect
#my posts#my aftg posts#aftg#kevin day#the foxhole court#all for the game#you know how at one point renee says neil is more like her and andrew#than the other foxes#i don't like categorizing them like that or comparing their traumas#but taking everything into account i do think kevin is also a bit more like them#it's just insane to think about. i can't imagine how he keeps going every day#and i wonder like. does he know. has he begun to understand what's been done to him

watched conclave last night and then read the wikipedia entry for the book and now I'm wondering about the category ten shitstorm that a publicly intersex pope would cause
#bolo liveblogs#conclave spoilers#bc the movie kind of dodged the issue but the book apparently treats the discovery of benitez's intersex status#as inevitable it's just a question of whether it'll be pre- or post-mortem#and how it'd affect his papacy bc.#while I resent tumblr's overwhelming tendency to bring characters we like in line with our political views#(it feels like the easy way out/unsatisfying to me)#(like yes benitez is a liberal catholic but he is still *a catholic clergyman* let's be real)#benitez can't espouse that having a uterus disqualifies anyone from being a man etc. like categorically he can't do that#I don't think he has a ''you can be whatever you want to be'' view on gender or anything#but I think he's reckoned with sex and gender as social constructs in a more critical way than his peers have#and in a way he's certainly got higher personal stakes for.#but at the same time you knowwwwwww tradcaths would be heinous about it#''CLEARLY you only think women should have a bigger role in the church because---''#idk I have a disease that makes me imagine the squabbling cultural fallout of all hypothetical political situations in fiction

sexism is lowkey so funny bc what do you mean everytime an athlete/actor/musician dates a woman with horrific politics or worldview or past— the fandom will rightfully tear her to shreds but then when you're like "great. Now. What does it say about your special baby waby blorbo boy that he's willing to date someone like that?" and its always:

#like ??? huh ???????? 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭#fandom wank ig#listen i had to swallow the indignity of MF dating fukface so you just gotta reckon with reality#call them out and carry on. this weird “he doesnt knaurrrr” pls categorically fuck off 😭

Don't quite know how to put this but there are certain story beats that, in order for me to actually like/admire the story, specifically have to be accomplished without being a big deal.
Like, does your story present ordinary, mundane, even ridiculous people as possessing worth and dignity? Cool. Does it pat itself on the back about doing that? Unfortunately, that has circled back around to patronizing.
Does your character make the lives of bit characters and nameless bystanders a priority, even when it distracts them from Important Plot Things? Nice! Does your character make a big production of/express a lot of angst about doing that? This only barely edges out "leaving them to die" in terms of my respect for said character.
Ordinary people are just as valuable and important as Our Heroes. But the narrative should have enough conviction about that to take it for granted, and let the audience catch up if need be. A Hero should definitely take it for granted, unless they're still in the process of becoming heroic.
Otherwise, I'm left with the sneaking suspicion that the writers don't really see this themselves.
#this is the distinction between what i tend to mentally categorize as 'hobbit-positive' stories#and ones that feel like they know they're SUPPOSED to be hobbit-positive but are struggling#lobelia sackville-baggins is a heroic figure by the end of lotr#but tolkien doesn't make a big song and dance about it or validate her by putting her next to the Actually Cool Characters(TM)#there's just the quiet revelation in amongst the other events that. huh. put under this kind of pressure lobelia was pretty amazing#and the other thing making me think of this was a moment in terror of the zygons where the doctor's escaping the ship#and frees the three humans they'd been impersonating on the way#it's barely even a story beat. they get to participate in destroying the ship and figuring out the enemy plans afterward#but actually rescuing them? it's so casual. and on the one hand that makes it not a Narrative Priority but also like. it's taken for grante#yeah those are people. the doctor doesn't need to think or talk about rescuing them he's just. gonna DO it#(is all of this lowkey an expression of my gripes about the tenth doctor era? maybe a /little./ sorry)#(i could also contrast the tenth doctor and daniel jackson's respective radiation poisoning deaths but these tags are long enough already)

oh yeah also jayvik are extremely orpheus and eurydice coded i don't make the rules
#arcane#arcane s2#arcane season 2#jayce talis#jayce arcane#viktor arcane#jayvik#jayce x viktor#you mightve guessed that ive been listening to the hadestown soundtrack again recently#but anyways. jayce going back over and over and failing in timeline after timeline in the hopes that maybe this time. maybe just this once#he'll succeed and get his partner back#viktor putting the whole of his faith and trust in jayce that jayce will come back for him even though he fails again and again#but still viktor cannot imagine not believing in jayce one more time#the way the entire universe hangs in the balance of their bond oh man#i feel like jayvik is beyond categorization they're like the peak of classical romance which is not necessarily kisses and dating etc#but like the purest form of intimacy and affection. or something#i should write a fic abt this#anyways . idk . im a big fan of meljayvik so mel fits in here SOMEWHERE i just havent figured it out yet#if you made it to the bottom of this wall of tags here's a pie 🥧

its crazy that people think having multiple personality disorders makes you more dangerous or fucked up bc like, the more abuse and trauma you suffer as a child, the more symptoms of PDs you will check off bc your behavior becomes so disordered in order to survive. having more than one PD (having several PDs) is common among childhood abuse survivors. PD comorbidity is crazy high and, ultimately, PDs are a way of categorizing symptoms for diagnostics and treatment.
it has nothing to do with your character, your worth as a human being, and your ability to heal. you adapted to survive your abuse. you can adapt to survive life after it.
#blue talks#signed someone with 4 of them#and this is another use for PDNOS ive heard of ppl who qualify for 5 or 6 who use this to make it simpler#like. its disordered and here are the ways its disordered#i think in some ways i do agree with the ICD going the PD - x subtype route#not a huge difference categorically but it does put less pressure on ppl for having multiple PD diagnoses#bpd#avpd#ocpd#ppd#just tagging what i actually have. actually idk if tags after the first 5 count now or not

@hereticcryptid I appear to be slowly but surely developing an entire series about how Hensheng and Baxia apparently get fed up with their owners' inability to express their feelings and take matters into their own hands...
#mdzs#jin guangyao#nie mingjue#jgy#nmj#nieyao#very sincerely this is a concept i keep coming back to and spinning around in my head#i find it unreasonably funny i want these swords revealing every tender feeling that these two are categorically incapable of admitting to#really i just want to bring the concept of e'ming and the general embarrassment hua cheng feels for his sabre at all times and throw it#into the mdzs world#can't quite bully the concept into an actual fic but i do love thinking about it and drawing art related to it#i assume nmj nearly went completely feral the first time hensheng shot out at him#like yup! he knew jgy was a snake! he's trying to attack him while his guard is down!!! well nmj is gonna deflect this fucking weak attack#and then SKEWER jgy and there's no way lxc can hold it against him!#except rather than deflecting hensheng baxia is a horrible traitor about it and instead he ends up getting cuddled by a touch-starved sword#0/10 nmj is having a horrible day he would genuinely have prefered jgy try to kill him (jgy would have ALSO prefered that as it happens)#(nhs on the other hand is having an AMAZING day when he sees it)#my art#THANK YOU EVERYONE THAT SENT ME PROMPTS!#this seriously helped get me through the day and made my evening so much better#i shall continue to go through them tomorrow after work as well 🥰🥰🥰#hensheng
