Finally finishing up the last pride animal for the remastered versions :-)

fictive culture is feeling weird because you swear more than in source and feeling like that’s bad even though it’s pretty neutral

Aw, it's ok. There's never any obligation to have to censor yourself; but i absolutely know what you mean

Dragon Age: The Veilguard concept art captioned "Corpse King", art by Matt Rhodes. [source] this is concept art/a beat board for The Necropolis/Nevarra. The file name says that it's King Markus Pentaghast.

To forgive ourselves

quick unserious hc comic I thought it’d be funny if androids overheated like pcs + old scavenging habits pre-markus era Jericho (totally not obsessed with the idea Simon’s falling apart and putting others ahead of himself even if it means giving away functioning biocomponents to help other androids)

shittily made common domestic android moment, mfs like a modern apple phone they just degrade with age

Am I the only one who thinks it's fucked up that the Mortalitasi are parading about King Markus's corpse...as opposed to letting the next in line rule??

He's alive in DAI - old, but very much flesh and blood - and we know this because the venatori use blood magic on him to get him under their control. So, what is he in DATV then? Are they implying that he's a lich? That he still has his mind? That they've got a spirit in there?

What do they gain from this? Cassandra's, what, 64th in line for the throne? So there's a bunch of potential heirs just hanging about -> potential heirs who want the crown because we know that Cassandra's parents were executed for trying to overthrow him.

Cassandra may not be fond of her family, but I can't imagine her letting this slide. This is the type of shit that gets an Exalted March called down on you! Especially if she's divine?! Nevarran's can be 'death-focused'* yes, but they let the living rule and not the dead.

It's their belief that when their soul passes through the Fade it results in a spirit being displaced - so they have the Mortalitasi find the spirit a new home in the Necropolis. That is their job - they maintain the Necropolis and, according to DATV, sometimes deal with awry magic.

The potential relation to a Divine or the Head of the Seekers, the King of Nevarra, is having his corpse puppeted about by a mage...and no one seems to care?!

Is this not super fucked up to anyone else?!!!

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Edit - I put this down in the tags but I think it's important to point out: In all the previous games up to this point not once has a mage, manipulating a corpse like this, ever been portrayed as quirky or funny. This is not the norm of what the Mortalitasi are supposed to do - they honour the dead they do not puppet them.

Thedas is a world very strongly intertwined with faith, especially the Chantry. It is Nevarra's attitudes towards death and their burial practices that distinguishes it from other Andrastian nations - they still have the Chantry, the Templars, and the Circle of Magi just as the rest of Southern Thedas has.

It's impossible to imagine any Divine (Leliana, Cassandra, or Vivienne) hearing of this occurring and not taking action against this. It's extremely strange that Emmrich bemoans that half the nobility know this has occurred when this action should be seen as nothing short of an abomination to the faithful - including Emmrich.

[dropoutconfessions]

i know bloodkeep isn't that popular and this would ultimately not be worth it for them but if dropout decided to make a plush of J'er'em'ih I'd buy it in an instant (i finished bloodkeep two days ago and i haven't stop thinking of J'er'em'ih)

once again breaking my silence to say please if there is any power listening to me, make this real, every single bloodkeep player has become some sort of dropout regular, bring back some bloodkeep love
