I truly just cannot get Zerxus Ilerez off my mind. Oath of Redemption paladin who will throw away everything for the chance to redeem Satan, but doesn’t hesitate to smite “traitors” into the dust and says nothing when his best friend murders prisoners who have surrendered. Who saw his friends bleeding out and knew he could help them, but turned away and went to pull the Lord of the Hells into the world instead, not even out of pity but out of desire for “answers”. Who lives in a world of teleportation circles and still didn’t visit his traumatized young son for seven years. Who asked to have his memory wiped rather than live with the understanding of failure. Character of all fucking time.

Cassandra De Rolo Headcanons

CritRole/LOVM's character cass

disabilities, neurodivergences, disorders etc

physical:

chronic back pain/issues has a defect in her spine, born with a twisted facet joint fused at the base thats caused her spine to twist growing up causing pain, flattening her feet, shifting her jaw and so on. not enough to be visibly noticable but enough that she needs pain management.

chronic headaches brought on primarily by back and jaw pain.

chronic fatigue caused by many things including chronic pain, low energy etc

Anemia. heavily anemic, requires iron supplements

visual snow syndrome

visual impairment far sighted, one eye a bit more heavily impaired than the other.

hearing impairment mild, hard of hearing in one hear also has audio processing disorder has to face a person in order to understand whats being said includes tinnitus.

rheumatoid arthritis swelling and pain in the joints, usually in the hands more than anything

aids:

cane has a cane, percy possibly made one for her at some point customizes it, probably took a whole day just painting her cane as a personal side project.

wheelchair occasionally uses a wheelchair on the worst days especially after the ordeal with the briarwoods percy absolutely made the wheelchair even adding things to it. ramps were built next to stars and in doorways where needed in the castle and around whitestone so she(and others) can get around with it easier.

wrist brace wears it for stability when writing helps a bit with the arthritis in her joints

reading glasses a different prescription to percy's rarely ever wears them used to swap hers with percy's when they were kids if it werent for percy also needing glasses she never would have used hers ever, probably would have hated them and trashed them really early on

sensory/stim aids percy likes making things for people so he for sure made something for her to fidget with created the first fidget cube for his sister before he made the first guns to ever exist /silly pen twirler. keeps old pens just to fidget with maybe has chewelry? or did as a kid weighted blanket and weighted pillow.

compression wear. her gloves provide compression for her joints also has compression socks

mental:

autistic finds comfort in certain textures, routines, predictable schedule changes and set times she can plan for/around. chronically understimulated but is very quick to overstimulate when there are multiple stimuli outputs has trouble understanding social cues, finds little interest in conversations outside special interests requires/has required some support on occasion definitely has rsd(rejection sensitivity disorder) and prosopagnosia(face blindness) to a degree. didnt recognize percy right away when he came back, especially since it was the first time seeing him in so long he looked (and likely sounded) a bit different from the last time they saw each other so it took a second or more to register who he was outside being charmed by sylas. semi-verbal/speaking, signs instead of speaking when nonverbal if she can, has someone translate the signing for her during meetings, this also helps with her hoh as the translater provides signs when others talk.

BPD has borderline personality disorder, percy being one of if not her only fp(favourite person)

ASPD has antisocial personality disorder struggles with initiating conversation and a habit of self-isolation.

PTSD post traumatic stress disorder. need i explain?

synesthesia associates words with colours, textures with tastes, vice versa and so on.

mild aphantasia cannot picture things in her head based on verbal description alone, faces and objects are fuzzy, never vivid or clear.

maladaptive daydreaming disorder

imposter syndrome has times where her intrusive thoughts and self doubt cause her to avoid asking for help because she doesnt think she needs it or her conditions are "bad enough" for assistance.

cotard's syndrome aka walking corpse syndrome requires assurance on occasion that shes still alive struggles a lot with this and still vividly remembers the feeling of the arrows that struck her when she and percy tried escaping.

Every time i replay mass effect I go a little bit bonkers thinking about the endings and how they almost work and how they are, in a vacuum, interesting. It really makes apparent the fact that in a narrative for an ending to work, it isn't so much the ending itself that’s important but rather how you set it up.

Destroy/control/synthesis are all interesting, and they all force you to think about what you are willing to sacrifice in the ultimate choice. But they are all on a narrative level completely non-reliant on the character you’ve built throughout the game and the paragon-renegade system which has been essential throughout. If synthesis had been presented as the paragon choice of saving as many as possible (at the cost of your own life and agency of the galaxy), destroy as a ruthless renegade choice of victory no matter the cost, and control as they outright evil renegade choice where you value power more than anything, there would've been weight, agency and character to the choice. Instead they're all presented as sort of morally neutral, with equally happy epilogues with no real time spent reflecting on the darker consequences.

But even had the consequences been accounted for, the endings are all presented as the enemy's solution, what the reapers/catalyst think will fix things, not what you think will do so. Honestly it would've been really cool if the catalyst presented you with control and synthesis and you could choose them, but there was also an option to tell it to fuck off and then yourself find a destroy button sort of as a secret ending.

[cringefaecompilation]

it'd be sadistic, bad faith, and shitty to say "orym is a hypocritical cunt that's up his own ass about being a hero and just as bad as ludinus! he deserves to die for holding the team back with all his stupid biases or watch the gods nuke everyone he loves out of existence to teach him a lesson about being so whiny!" but when it's ashton, i guess it's fine
