one thing about orpheus and eurydice is you guys are all like “i’m different i wouldnt turn to look at her” because you are all familiar with the story of orpheus and eurydice. but orpheus wasnt familiar with the story because he was in it lol.

Davrin "I'm just the bodyguard" Grey Warden, you are the fakest bitch I know. He'll spend his entire introduction quest claiming he's not attached to the griffin cubs, but the second you find this nest he casually admits to continuing to carve the same nug statue over and over again because they like the carving.

I bet you this is why he has that atrocious nug statue in his room, cus Assan likes it.

Love making Ford the soggiest silly old dumbass ever in my AU and then gracing him with the most boring possible character design. Like I seriously just gave him a sweater and a ponytail and called it a day 💀

AND THEN THERE'S MY FIDDLEFORD DESIGN-

something about percy nearly dying at luke's hand at the end of tlt ruffles my bones. because imagine feeling like a burden to anyone who dared to care for you. imagine blaming yourself for the death of your mother. imagine grieving in black and white amid a world of color. and then an older brother sees you for all of your sorrow and pain. your cries for help that go unanswered. your longing for a reason to breathe again. and becoming someone you look forward to confiding in when the dust settles. only to discover that their source of light was merely a flame. and the summer air was always meant to burn you alive. truly haunting.

"The average person is being followed by at least 2 eldritch horrors" wrong! The average person is being followed by 0. Arthur Lester, the narratives blorbo who's being followed by 100,000 eldritch horrors is an outlier and should not have been counted

I never for a moment interpreted the ending where Solas and Lavellan journey off into the Fade together as anything but hopeful.

The Inquisitor has been the Hero Who Saved the World for the last decade, and now she’s continuing that work. She’s not abandoning her duty. She’s venturing into the realm of pure magic to heal the Blight. Solas being there is just an enjoyable side benefit. Why can’t she save the day, get married to her true love, then head off on her next adventure? Heroes do those things all the time.

The game also is incredibly vague—and sure it’s implied they are going to the Fade Prison, which is the Black City—and Solas says it’ll be terrible… but he’s Mr. Grim and Fatalistic. Don’t listen to him. Lavellan responds that it won’t be terrible. It’s the Fade. You can shape it. It’s like the land of lucid dreaming. It will literally not be terrible if they are together. They’ll heal the Blight and help the Titans and go on many weird Fade adventures.

Again. It’s the Fade! It’s like the best sandbox for creating what comes next for them. They could totally spend all the time they’d like exploring Fade World, then return to the real world and find out only like… an afternoon has passed. Or I’m sure Dorian—after giving them a respectful amount of time for their Honeymoon—uses that magic knife to cut his way in and bring Lavellan an eluvian to use to visit him and her other friends and family whenever she wants. It’s not like they’re trapped forever. It’s left very open-ended. Have a little whimsy! Believe in true love that lasts forever and does not wane no matter the years that pass! Let them have a happily ever after. Why not. It’s fun.

the "would jason have been better off without bruce?" discussions always go "no he was always doomed" "he would've become a criminal like his dad" "bruce gave him a few good years and that's the best an utterly doomed homeless kid in a bad neighbourhood should ever ask for". even the bruce wayne haters take a break to agree that jason would've died a miserable criminal because that's the only possible end for kids like him

The use of the journal in rdr1 is very different compared to rdr2, it's used more as a log of current missions/tasks in a brief form. There's no actual writing or drawing in it, just text, John cannot physically open the journal since it's simply an option you press to view from the start menu.

But from a story perspective, I see it as something pretty interesting.

Let's say that John was actually writing these brief and short sentences about his tasks, then it makes me think that maybe by 1911, he was running out of room to write in Arthur's journal.

As in, maybe there was only a handful or more pages left and he wanted to still use the journal, but still save as much room as he could. Maybe he saved paper by not drawing and doodling, by being more brief and to the point with what goes on in his day to day life, by making his writing smaller and taking longer to write to make sure he made no spelling mistakes, all little sacrifices to make sure that he could hold onto his brother's journal for just a bit longer.

So he could hold onto the memory of his brother for a bit longer.
