The day FNAF Charlie Emily was shut out..

[thenevarranaccord]

What’s really jumping out at me on my second playthrough is that the writers of the first three games understood that your character was the main character. The Veilguard writers clearly thought that the main characters were their characters, the companions.

Every scene is about setting the companions up as cool or competent or sympathetic. Often, this is done at Rook’s expense. The companions get all the witty one-liners; Rook’s attempts at humor not only frequently fall flat, but are frequently called out for falling flat (even when they’re completely automatic and the player has no say in them).

The companions have all the knowledge and skills; Rook just brought them all together and gives them all pep talks so they can focus. I’m trying to edit out all of the comments where Rook is like “Um… what????” from my videos, and let me tell you, it takes WORK. There are A LOT of them. I can count on one hand the number of times when the Inquisitor or Hawke comes across as dumb, but it seems to be a built-in, unavoidable part of Rook’s character. I have not selected a single “purple” option in all of Act 1, and Rook is still coming across as the kid who tries to be the class clown to cover for the fact that he’s always confused. Rook’s role in most scenes is to say “Uhhh… what?” so that the companions look smart.

Rook is always the one offering sympathy and never the one getting it. No one actually comes to comfort you after Varric’s death. No one asks you how you’re feeling about having to lead the team now that Varric is gone. No one tries to reassure you or give you advice for dealing with the trickster god haunting your dreams. We’re told that Neve could keep Solas out of your head, but she never actually offers to do this for you. No one comforts a Shadow Dragon Rook when Minrathous is destroyed or a Grey Warden Rook when Weisshaupt is destroyed. Rook’s problems don’t matter. Only the problems of main characters matter.

Rook is a secondary character in their own story.

I’m like nine percent sure anything will happen here (I’ll probably do some of these regardless) but I saw this and found it fun

⭐️15 notes and I talk to my one teacher about respecting me

25 notes and I start seriously looking into medical things I want

⭐️75 notes and I actually tell my director about future plans and ask him for advice

175 notes and I look into getting a private lesson teacher

⭐️215 notes and I start making time for my writing and reading interests

290 notes and I start truly planning my future

⭐️376 notes and I start playing live shows

550 notes and I start caring more about looking into my chronic pain issues

⭐️720 notes and I talk to my audio teacher about forecasting (this has been reached but I competed ig before it was reached cause I had to )

⭐️1220 notes and I stand up for myself more

1559 and I try to prioritize my health and feelings

1780 notes and I ask for help when I need it

2025 notes and I start letting people in more. (Not just close friends)

Edit I’m not setting an absolute limit but if I feel like you spam too much I will cut you off at some point .

pages 235 and 243 - everything I said before, but maybe there's a worm that has taken over everyone's brain and it makes them good at basketball, or good at coaching basketball, or supporting the local basketball team. Or maybe it just makes you shit yourself bloody and then your brain falls out your ears and you're dead.

If it's just shitting yourself bloody, I have that.

the fact that Jean makes the "defensive" comment while tightening his glove strap with his teeth (arguably the sexiest thing you can do while gearing up) is diabolical
