curse technique concept:

your technique can make anyone fall in love with you. it's not permanent, but the emotions are extremely real, and powerful, wearing off over time unless refreshed.

the technique is activated by eye contact.

you've also taken a binding vow - you cannot activate your technique at will, it's always on. this makes your technique much stronger than it should be.

so you run around with a blindfold, much like gojo, just to prevent making random people fall in love with you.

it's not so bad, really!

growing up, your parents would wear eyepatches - with only one eye making contact, the technique was half as effective!

except... if the effectiveness of the technique increases proportionally with the number of eyes... well...

If Nina and I were given a basic hallmark movie script and even a totally average-to-decent budget and, most importantly, entire creative control to change anything we wanted—you would not BELIEVE the masterpiece we could create.

I think the precolonial east coast of north america was probably the sexiest time/place in human history. Basically everyone had a reliable balanced diet, most people had active lifestyles so almost everyone was in good shape, there was almost no taboo against public nudity permitting weather (adults had to cover their junk and that's about it) and capitalism didn't exist so no one was overworked. Everyone spent their copious free time making cool outfits, decorating their houses, and tattooing each other while eating lots of delicious medicine. There were also barely any endemic diseases, so no scars from the common European infections of the time. Pretty much every early European visiting said there were tons of people and everyone was hot as fuck. Wish I was there now. Second place goes to the Sioux nation, before colonization but after the arrival of horses. Another seriously romantic time period.

There is a universe in which the Andrew Garfield Spiderman and the Ryan Reynolds Deadpool met.

Every day I wake up and I am not in that universe, and every day I wake up disappointed.

idk dude i just think one of veilguard's greatest tragedies is how sad it is when a high-approval inquisitor reunites with solas at the end of the game.

this is someone who, regardless of what race and class you picked in inquisition, solas came to respect and even care for. despite solas fighting them every step of the way, the inquisitor is the illuminating force in his world. the inquisitor shows him right from wrong—shows him the value and personhood intrinsic to those in the world he didn't necessarily want but ended up in nevertheless.

there is an intimacy to friendship that cannot be understated here. there is an undeniable depth to the dynamic between a high-approval inquisitor and solas, who traveled together, shared space together, held long, philosophical debates together, ate together, celebrated together, mourned together, etc etc etc. the point is, they were together. the lack of a romantic connection does nothing to detract from the reality that this was a person solas trusted with his life on more than one occasion, and in veilguard, if you don't set the world state's inquisitor as romanced with solas, he just calls them... useful.

we already know that solas is rarely ever 100% truthful. we know he canonically kills his closest friends the moment they appear to diverge from his objective, so the label of "friend" is no true marker of what exactly friendship means to solas, because imo, we're not entirely sure (for a number of reasons).

what we are sure of is that the inquisitor experiences no real catharsis or relief at the end of veilguard, because they are not enough for him. a high-approval inquisitor is arguably the closest thing to a best friend solas has had in thousands of years, and it doesn't matter. it is only when you conjure mythal herself does he abandon his plan to tear down the veil and "end the inquisitor's people" (see trespasser), and that is only AFTER he tries to argue that it's not really mythal—it's just a fragment of her that he didn't even really kill.

a romanced lavellan inquisitor is the only kind of inquisitor who gets a "happy ever after" (depending on your definition), and only because she has 1) spent the last near decade cleaning up his messes 2) presumably expended the entirety of her resources just to find him again and 3) drop everything and rush to rook when they give the signal to.

but the inquisitor who is just a best friend to solas, ultimately, in every ending, loses that best friend. again. one way or another, solas is going through that veil, and when he does, it is with very little acknowledgement of the sacrifices and loyalty that inquisitor has made for/given him.

solavellan has been categorized as a tragedy by many in the fandom, and for good reason—but this is still another one.

except this tragedy, stays a tragedy.

I know I joke about killing myself over videos of Anetra on the daily but… the way I would actually die after this????

man im still so obsessed with the fact that it seems like knuckles either didn't originally have a name, or that he dropped it to carry the name of his ancestors

LIKE UGH. it's so sad. it's so unfair. knuckles' entire existence is so unfair. imagine having no name and having the only identity you have being the name of a dead group of people you never even got to meet? alternatively, dropping your own birth name to carry that name as your own because there's no one else around to do so?

i NEED. NNEEEEDD. canon media to acknowledge this in some way. it's mentioned once that he was named after his ancestors in an obscure character bio, and never brought up ever again as far as i know. i don't know japanese but from what i can tell the way it's worded implies that "knuckles" became his name? as in, it wasn't his name originally.

I NEED TO KNOW MORE. I NEED THIS TO BE EXPLORED.

[eclecticopposition]

we neeeed a podfic. we need a podfic stat. we need to be able to listen to it. you understand.

Okay, so I know that people in the Regency actually knew how to dance well and like, steps and things. But when Darcy just randomly asks Elizabeth to dance at Netherfield, it would just be them dancing. Caroline is playing piano and the three others, while close friends, would probably just be staring at Elizabeth and Darcy, while they did a reel.

You want me to believe this guy is shy? I guess I'm female and maybe more conscious of my body, but I would NEVER. Not even among close friends, just randomly dance in front of people. Never never nope never nope. And I'm not shy! I'm gregarious! You are telling me Socially Awkward Boi is also confident enough to get through a solo dance with an audience of 4???

Moz for sure knows about it! I was looking up something for my current fic and was reminded about it from PassionsJustLikeMine, but couldn't find any posts on Tumblr about it. I hesitated to tag it under Smiths/Marrissey cause it's not directly tied to Moz, but I definitely was influenced to post it cause of him
