I never realised how weird of a feeling it is shipping characters that never met and (in the case of this particular ship) had minimal screen time...

[one-blaze-of--glory]

merrily we roll along fucks me up because like. in the beginning they straight up show you how all these relationships are over. all this love is in the past. and yet, does it change anything? is the bond between Frank, Charley and Mary and less meaningful even if you know right off the bat it won't last forever?

Neither of these two belong to any sort of media, franchise, nor are they ocs. Just drawings and doodles I wanted to do.

I can't believe I'm writing this

To open up with: IT IS ABSOLUTELY OKAY AND VALID TO BE DISAPPOINTED BY THE LACK OF WORLDSTATE CUSTOMIZATION IN DRAGON AGE THE VEILGUARD. I have my own disappointments about it!

Ok? We have that covered? We good?

Cool, moving on.

To people who are genuinely, hatefully angry, saying we will now be 'forced into Bioware's worldstate' (when this year alone they've stated there is no 'canon' worldstate more than once), or saying that none of our prior dragon age choices matter, I need you to take a step back and walk with me for a second, okay?

For starters: John Epler stated that one of the reasons they narrowed the choices is because they DO NOT want to invalidate the worldstates of their longtime players. However they also don't want to alienate newer players who don't have the history and lore of the past choices. It's a narrow line to walk.

Secondly, I want you to really look at the choices made by your Hero, Champion, and Inquisitor. Which of those choices genuinely affected NORTHERN Thedas, not Southern Thedas, to the point it would linger for years afterwards? Which of those choices weren't things that specifically affected or altered the sociopolitical Southern Thedas climate and landscape in lasting ways?

The Well? Kieran?

That only leaves that if your Inquisitor drank, they now have knowledge from ages long past... that Rook doesn't need. Rook has a direct line into Solas' history and a possible Veiljumper background, unlocking those very secrets on their own.

It's entirely likely and probable that the Well's fears and threats were a red herring. Think about it. We as a gandom have spent TEN YEARS worrying about the Well, about Solas, about Mythal.

Come June 2024, we're slapped in the face by the big bads of Ghilan'nain and Elgar'nan.

Morrigan likely isn't going to be close and friendly with Rook- so there's likely not much reason for her to tell us about her child or husband if she has them.

The rulers of Southern Thedas aren't going to affect us. We aren't tackling the current world ending crisis from the position of a leader of armies like the Warden and Inquisitor, but as leader of a small task force. The Southern Divine doesn't much affect us either- nor do Southern mage politics or templar politics.

Because Rook is an entirely new perspective.

Because Rook is in an ENTIRELY different sociopolitical climate/landscape.

I DO think there should've been ways implemented to specify your Inquisitor's bonds and personality. I'm HOPING maybe there still are that we haven't seen. But otherwise?

My Warden is free. I can say she's cured her Calling and is wandering the world with Zevran.

My Champion can retire into total obscurity with his husband or be quietly helping said husband destroy the slave trade. Either way.

Your history and choices in Thedas still matter. Your heroes still matter.

They just aren't Rook's focus.

Take a breath please. And stop sending death threats to the devs bc what the **fuck.**

EDIT:

Ghost's Vigil

Author: Autobot2001 Genre: Fanfiction Gandom: Call of Duty Modern Warfare Rating: E Warning: None Pairing: None Description: Jamie has emergency surgery for her injuries. She ends up with an infection. Ghost worries about Jamie. Continued from day 8.2.

Day 11 @feveruary: "You're burning up!" @febuwhump: Alt 6; emergency surgery @fluffyfebruary: Crush @fluffbruary: bench | tough

Ao3 or under the cut

Jamie is rushed into surgery for her injuries. Gaz, Ghost, Soap, and Price anxiously await news about her condition. Ghost paces around the waiting room. "Will you sit down before you make yourself dizzy," Price says. "No!" Ghost snaps. "We're all worried about her, but pacing until you make yourself dizzy isn't going to help," Soap says. "Nor will blaming yourself." "I know she's a great soldier, but..I do feel like this is my fault." Ghost sits on a chair. "This isn't your fault," Price says. "You know we can get injured on missions and fighting enemies."

The four men wait three hours before a medic walks out. "How is she?" Price asks. "She's in critical condition," the medic says. "And we'll be monitoring her closely. She's still unconscious." "Let me see her," Ghost insists. The medic and Price agree to let Ghost see Jamie. Ghost is led into Jamie's room. e Ghost sits by the bed and holds Jamie's hand. He doesn't realize that Price is following him. The two men see Jamie hooked to the monitor and an IV. The room is quiet.

"Ghost, you can't blame yourself," Price says. "I should have stayed with her." "You know she's a good soldier. She's tough and will recover." Price stands next to Ghost, and the two wait for Jamie to wake up. "Please wake up," Ghost whispers. "I hate seeing you like this." Price puts a hand on Ghost's shoulder. Ghost and Price feel like time passes slowly as they wait for any sign that Jamie is waking y.

Jamie finally wakes up. Struggling to adjust to the light. "Jamie? I'm right here," Ghost assures her. Jamie feels Ghost holding her hand before her eyes adjust, and she sees Ghost and Price. You'll be ok," Price assures her. The room is quiet until a medic enters it to check on Jamie. Ghost and Price know she'll be in the infirmary for a while. Jamie is groggy from the blood loss and medications she's on. Gaz and Soap walk into the room. "Sorry, we couldn't wait any longer," Soap whispers. "She's awake, but it's going to be a little bit before she is alert and will communicate with us," Price explains. Gaz and Soap stand on either side of the bed. Jamie looks at them but says nothing. The four men want to stay by Jamie to know she'll be ok. The four took turns sitting with Jamie throughout the day, and Ghost stayed with her overnight. This was a good routine that helped them feel better about the situation.

Until the four walked into the infirmary room two days later. "You're burning up?" Ghost says, feeling Jamie's forehead. Price runs out of the room to get a medic. "You know this is bad since she's not trying to argue she's fine," Soap whispers to Gaz. "Oh yeah. Jamie would argue even if she was sick with the flu."

An hour later, it's confirmed that Jamie has an infected incision. While the medic assures the men that Jamie will be ok and just needs antibiotics, Ghost is struggling not to think this infection could kill her. He leaves the medbay. "I thought he'd argue he's not going to leave her side," Gaz says. "He's not ok. I'm going to go find him," Price says.

Price finds Ghost in the training room punching a punching bag. He can tell that Ghost is not taking this well, so he has Ghost sit on a bench. "I already told you that you can't blame yourself," Price reminds Ghost. "Jamie will be ok. Her recovery will be a little longer." Ghost says nothing. "I know you and Jamie are good friends, but I feel like she's more to you than friends. I'd say you have a crush on her." "Shut up!" "You know your reaction proves I'm right." "Fine, I like her. Seeing her hurt on the battlefield… I should have told her sooner. Now she's sick." "You'll get your chance. You know she's tough. She won't tell us what she's been through the past twenty-three years she's been going to different dimensions, but I wouldn't be surprised if it's been hell." Price pulls Ghost up and leads him back to the infirmary.

Though she's asleep, Gaz and Soap are still in Jamie's infirmary room. Ghost sits by the bed and takes her hand. "Come on, let him stay with her today," Price tells Gaz and Soap. The three men leave the room. They all decide they need to check on Ghost and Jamie throughout the day.

Candies and curses will be alive even in 2025... The work you do for this gandom

Anyway, some Molly headcanons?

aww I'm flattered thank you

now come off anon so i can thank you personally bc srsly getting this ask warmed my heart

I honestly feel like I don't do enough publicly sometimes since most of the stuff I do rn is writing which I don't post, but hopefully I'll have some more stuff for everyone next year.

still, Thank You :'>

anyway, Molli HCs

13

Bi (solely bc her hair looks like the bi flag and nothing else lol)

Actually isn't interested in a candymaking job but stays there for a bit to make sure Candy King recovers to a decent mental state, then lets Benny take over the role.

Closest with Lilly out of all the mansion residents, because they both have an interest in magic , but also pretty close with Benny

Despite being very popular at school she chooses to keep a pretty small circle of close friends and is just pals with most other people

Likes sour candies the most (though of course, she will take almost any candy you offer her lol)

She's been friends with Suzie for less than 3 years (otherwise she would've met Olly prior, I imagine) but they're already very close

Doesn't have a concrete idea of what she wants to do in the future (but like she's got time so it's fine)

Being in the manor did scar her (mentally) a little, but she tries not to show it and mostly deals with it on her own (but Olly's there to support her too)

She's also pretty stubborn but unlike Hector it's not in an unconstructive way, more in a "she will follow her stated goals to the end no matter" she's fine with switching stuff up until she finds something that works

I think she ended up keeping most of the weapons and charms she got in the manor but gave a few away to other people (generally Olly or the other manor residents)

still maintains some sort of contact with Hector and Paige though not as much due to obvious reasons

And as I am a Molliver shipper I must spread my Molliver agenda

Molli was the one who fell first

[the-owl-tree]

Im going to be as bold as possible with my assumptions to make this more fun so im just going to say that im being a bit exaggerated in my assumptions and this is just like being absurd wuth my assumptions because thatd be more fun to respond to.

You watched some kind of anime as a teenager and its burned int your psyche permanently even though you don't like it, i bet youve seen soul eater multiple times, a lot of your online friend group are furries but not furries that are super engrossed in the larger fandom but the specific kind of furry that is in like a niche subsection of the furry gandom that is rarely aware of the most popular furry creators at the time.

You make art almost compulsively but you also have an impulse to make your art have quality when you do it which eats you up sometimes.

Let me know how wrong i am [im assuming im super wrong except for the anime thing]

the prompt was what does my art style say about me not expose my inner soul to everyone!!! /j

startling accurate on the anime portion, i own the soul eater dvds and watched them religiously lmao

the only thing that's inaccurate is my friend group: it's actually the reverse! my friends i can only speak to via discord are mostly not furries, a majority of my friend offline are furries funnily enough. definitely correct about us liking more niche furry stuff.

speaking of impulsive art making. i should remake that mapleshade/medusa piece-

[doctortwhohiddles]

Thanks to the anon who sent me those.

Plenty of people made posts celebrating Ben and Sophie's 10th wedding anniversary. If the sQeptics hadn't spent the last decade trying to get blocked by everyone in the gandom, they would have seen it. And if they finally accepted that not everyone is as obsessed with Ben's private life, they wouldn't look stupid.

And if even the sQeptics didn't bother to.write something about it, it's because there's very few of them left and Patty's 2 main minions are too busy being Nazis on social media.

Then, there's Murphysidiot throwing her 2 cents.

For years, the sQeptics have been demanding that he leaves his wife and kids. That's not the same thing as encouraging. Not to mention that Ben is far from being unpopular. If Murphysidiot was really a fan, she'd know Ben doesn't give a damn about fame.

we are on dariush lockdown. ty @holycartoonwarrior it is now booye khoobe gandom monday.

[mokeymokey]

Gundam actually comes from the Persian root gandom meaning wheat; this is in reference to the enormous amounts of grain that would be fed to mech pilots in the old times

[stackofpossums]

I want to like, start writing headcanons or something, the Arcana gandom is so tiny I would like to contribute to it.

[stuffandsundry]

I find it deeply funny that I only wvery talk on social media (AS IS INTENDED) when none of my discord pals are In gandom reach which just means that congrats I will continue to be In tolerable about transformers adntul someone kidnap me into a server somewhere

💙Smoshblr December Asks Day 4💛

Since the day 1 question was about the cast, I now also want to show some love to the crew working behind the scenes!

Therefore, who are your top 3 fave smosh crew members?

yessss, love the shoutout for the crew!

my number one is garrett without a doubt. @jovenshires and i are co-ceo's of the gandom (garrett palm fandom), and i'll sing his praises all day every day!

next is marcus, my beloved. he's hysterical, and i'm begging smosh to put him in more vids! his episode of eat it or yeet it is one of my favorites

last is josh! his musical prowess is a welcome addition to vids. i unironically sing along to the song he and olivia performed on that let's do this episode. he's a musical genius!

[stargazing-reader]

My very first gandom was Harry Potter, then I left. Then I came back for his dad and his dad's best friend's brother.

what was your original fandom. like not the one you first started with on tumblr. the first bit of media that you made content for
