DA 4 Veilguard predictions
Okay so I wanted to get a whole ass post about what I think is likely to happen in DA 4 done before the reveals but I haven’t had the time between work and life.
There are MASSIVE spoilers for every Dragon Age game, book, comic, and most internet theories in this post. Proceed with caution.
Also I swear like the truckers I grew up around. So CW on language.
First and foremost, I’m going to warn you all that I’m a die-hard Solavellan. If you don’t like that? Don’t bother reading this. And for gods’ sake don’t bother arguing with me about it. Depending on my mood, I’ll either first roast your face off and then eat it with bbq sauce or if I’m feeling generous, I’ll just block your ass. You like what you like about games. I’ll like what I like. I don’t shit in your porridge, I ask you to not do it to me. As I’m writing this, I’m 47 years old and I’ve been gaming since I was 9. Which means I’ve been gaming longer than a lot of you have been alive. Stop yucking on people’s yum. There’s far too little joy in this world. Go find your own.
So, this is just a partial post (albeit, in true to me fashion, an incredibly LONG one XD). It will cover stuff I think we might see revealed in things this weekend at either SGF or Xbox whatever (I have no idea why they’d bother with the Xbox thing since they hold such a small share of the gaming market these days but whatever.) We’re seeing something between Friday and Monday. Hopefully, enough to give hope to the masses.
Depending on how much time I have before I have to serve dinner I might add some more of my theories.
It’s a bit silly of me to be so obsessed about this game because my computer definitely won’t be able to handle it, and because I’m a disabled, neurodivergent author with a family to support… well… the likelihood of me being able to buy both a computer able to handle it and the game itself any time in the near future isn’t good. So, I won’t be able to play it. I am going to add my links and a go fund me to the bottom of this post (which has taken me hours to research and write so if you would like to donate to the cause I would be so deeply appreciative. Dragon Age is one of my AuDHD special interests, and it’s killing part of my soul to know I can’t participate when it comes out. I promise I’ll write all sorts of interesting stuff about it!)
But I can’t help myself. Letting my research-oriented, lore-obsessed brain noodle about Dragon Age is one of my very favourite special interests. So, without further ado… here goes!
CLASSES
I think we have a good chance of seeing some of these as playable classes.
Knight-Templar ❌
Lord of Fortune ✅
Antivan Crow ✅
Mortalitasi (Nevarran necromancer) ✅
Grey Warden ✅
Shadow Dragon ✅
Shaper/Carta/Kal-Sharok/Sha-Brytol Dwarf ❌
Veil Jumper ✅
Fen’harel Fanatic (not his usual people, the fanatical ones detailed in Tevinter Nights) ❌
Companions
A lot of these ideas come from the supplementary material that I’ve read at least three times each. I’m obsessed. What can I say?
Qunari: ✅ Tal-Vashoth Sarrebas, maybe Qwydion? ❌
Rivani Lord of Fortune: ✅ ‘Hollix’ maybe? That would be fun, plus they are canonically non-binary! Please please please? With sugar on top? ❌
Tevinter Mage/Magister: ✅ Maevaris Tilani ❌ would be so cool, but I’d be equally as happy to see Neve Gallus. ✅ Honestly, they both have benefits for me. Mae is trans and Neve has a prosthetic leg. Alternatively, I liked Myrion ❌ well enough that he’d be a cool companion too. And he’s canonically bisexual from what I read between the lines.
Grey Warden: ✅ Please let it be Antoine! ❌ (Antoine absolutely has ADHD and I would love to see more of that rep in a AAA game.) Evke ❌ could be fun too.
Templar Knight-Commander: Rana Savras ❌
Spirit Companion: I really hope it’s not Audric. 1. He’s not really a spirit, he’s a higher undead, which is a Zombie by any other term. And all the poor guy wants is to organize his library. I’ll be quite disappointed with the writers if they go this route.
So, we’ve had Faith/Wynn, Justice/Anders, and Compassion/Cole. There are two other widely known benevolent spirits in Dragon Age canon. Valor and Hope. Given what I think is gonna happen in DA4, my money is on a Hope spirit. ❓
Antivan Crow: ✅ Illario Dellamorte. ❌ (I really really hope it’s not Lucanis Dellamorte. 💩 He’s so damned annoying and gods that is NOT how an assassin operates. Here's my professional editorial opinion of why Lucanis is an absolutely terrible character.
Veil Jumper/Dalish/City Elf: ✅ Strife. ❌ Please please please? He’d be so awesome as a companion character. He’s not young! I want an older companion character. (And it would let them get away with the white hair on a darker skinned character without it being racist as fuck.) I just really hope he looks better than he did in the comics. The art style in those was just fucking terrible.
I am hoping that we can somehow romance Lace Harding. ✅ But I just don’t see how she could fit in with the reported likely classes and things I’ve personally considered.
Tumblr media
That gives me 8 even though reports say we only get 7. But did you notice in this picture that there are 8? So either we’re gonna get a ‘secret’ companion like Loghain Mac Tir. (Three guesses who that will be and the first two don’t count.) Or they have a surprise for us. Or the art is off.
I could also see Kieren ❌ as a companion. (Morrigan’s son) He’d be just about old enough if we get the time jump reports are saying we will. He was roughly 12 in DAI. + 2 for Trespasser puts him at 14. Ten years minimum between Trespasser and DA4 puts him at 24. So, it’s possible. I could also see Vaea as a companion. But I’m not exactly sure how she would fit with classes.
Potential Advisors
Some of these I’ve got as potential companions as well because I could see them fitting either.
Dorian Pavus for Tevinter Magisters (I think this is very likely given Tevinter Nights.)
Maevaris Tilani (Same as above.)
Charter (I think we’ll see Charter stepping into Leliana’s place as Spymaster given what we saw in Trespasser and Tevinter Nights.)
Myrna/Audric (Mortalitasi)
Ramesh (Grey Wardens)
Genetivi (Scholar) (given what happened in Tevinter Nights I have a feeling we’ll be seeing him again under a new name)
Viago De Riva (Antivan Crows)
Andarateia Cantori (Antivan Crows) I’d love to see Zevran again but considering what he was up to in DAI I think it’s unlikely. Although something did happen in Tevinter Nights that might make it possible.
Lavellan: With how the story in DAI ended and what we saw in the end scene of Trespasser, I think they’ll be important in some way.
Fenris: (Wandering Warrior)
Cameos we might see:
Fenris
Isabela
Arishok Sten
Antaam Rassan
Kieren (Morrigan’s son)
Zevran
Vaea
Sebastian Vael
Viago De Riva
Andarateia Cantori
Lavellan
People I don’t think we’ll see or if we do it won’t be for long.
Cassandra (thank gods)
Morrigan
Leliana (sads)
Most of the cast of DAI and the previous games.
Bosses we’re likely to fight.
Solas. He’ll be a mini-boss and maybe one you can talk out of a fight.
FleMythal
Elgar’nan ✅️
Ghilan'nain ✅️
Andruil. She and Ghilan’nain often go together.
Critters/bad guys we’re likely to see.
Bone creatures from the necropolis.
Changed darkspawn/humans from Ghilan'nain’s labs. ✅️
Tentacley sea creatures from Minrathous and other ‘experimented upon by mages’ monsters.
Werewolves may make a comeback.
Antaam.
Venatori. ✅
Fen’harel Fanatics (these are different from Fen’harel agents).
Whatever or whoever the people across the sea are.
Carta dwarves
Titans
Sha-Brytol dwarves
Antaam Rassan
Antaam
Things I think we’re likely to see.
We’re going to see trans/non-binary rep. ✅ I deeply believe this is happening. I will be so sad if I’m wrong.
Sad as I am to say it. Varric is gonna die. The writing has been on the wall in drippy red marker since they fired his writer. I hate this, personally. I grew up listening to Brian Bloom (Varric’s VA) and he’s just one of my absolute favourites. But I don’t think Varric is gonna make it.
The how? I think, narratively, they’ll do it in a way that hurts Solas a very great deal. In DAI, Varric is one of the few people that Solas listens to. Apologizes to and actually talks to with a sense of respect in his tone that he rarely does with anyone else. Given events in the comic The Missing where Solas saves Varric several times… yeah. ✅️
If I were writing it? It would be an angsty as fuck scene where either something Solas does accidentally kills Varric in a friendly fire isn’t friendly sort of situation or that Solas can’t get there in time to save one of the few people he actually probably considers a friend.
So, the pain of Varric’s death will be what in the writing/editing trade we call a pinch-point for Solas’s character arc. How the player decides what happens will likely be one of those crucial choices matters points that will turn Solas down a darker path or possibly toward a redemption arc.
Flemythal isn’t dead. I’ve talked before about how she is not the happy fluffy bunny version of a mother goddess. Sure, she might be a mother goddess. But she’s the type that reminds us that mother nature is often more red in tooth and claw than nurturing.
And the lady is bent. Bent on revenge. Bent on using people to get her revenge. Just… if she ever was the good and kind person that Solas remembers? She definitely isn’t anymore.
I have a feeling given one of the stories in Tevinter Nights that FleMythal has infected Solas (vs sharing her power in a simple power up to help him save people move) with the dragon soul. Which could have been part of Mythal's soul even before the dragon had it, if some theories are correct. There’s been a lot of imagery and description of a dreadwolf like creature that is half lupine, half dragon. So, something is going on there.
And honestly, I think that’s going to be Solas’s breaking point with mommy dearest. (Please, please don’t let them have been lovers, that will squick me out so fucking bad.)
“Betrayal is always worse.” Is one of Solas’s really heartfelt lines in DAI. If I’m right, and FleMythal somehow manipulated that dragon soul she got from Kieren (talk about fucked up action right there) so that it’s gonna change Solas into a half dragon half wolf demon thing… welp.
I think FleMythal will find that Solas has a bit more backbone than he ever had in the past. He’s not alone now. He knows he’s not alone. He’s got friends. He’s got someone who deeply loves him in a romanced Solavellan playthrough. I don’t think Solas is going to be very happy with his dearest ‘best of them’ Mythal.
Best of them? Yeah. It doesn’t mean she was actually good.
So Mythal isn’t dead. I think she’s likely to be one of if not the BBEG along with whoever that voice was at the end of the teaser. My money is on Troy Baker ❌️for the VA and I’m really curious if I’m right. I’m thinking that’s probably Elgar’nan. God of Vengeance. Perhaps Mythal and Elgar’nan patch up whatever divine argument they’ve been having via celestial couples therapy or something. Who knows.
I think we’re going to see a split path depending on the choices of the player for Solas. Depending on our choices, he could go really dark, or he could have a redemption arc. Patrick Weekes tweeted to me that ‘there’s a possibility of a happy ending for Solavellan’ so I still have hope. I trust Weekes to write a satisfying conclusion to the Solavellan Romance. (I just don’t trust Bioware as far as I can throw them.) Weekes was the lead writer on this game, so I think it’s a good possibility that that’s how it’s going to be structured.
I think the game will very possibly be a multi-act structure like DAI. The first act is possibly going to be like the Hinterlands leading up to Coryphyfish blowing the hell out of Haven. I think the veil coming down is going to either be what starts off the game ✅ (like the explosion of the conclave in DAI) or will be the final ending situation of Act 1. Again. Player choices will likely affect this to some extent.
But y’all? That veil is coming down. ✅ And yes. I’m aware of that silly new name for the game. I don’t like it. (That ‘the’ was a mistake. Veilguard by itself would’ve been much better linguistically.) But if you’ve been following my ramblings about Dragon Age for a while, y’all will know I have issues with their linguistic usage and editing already.
Dumped Drunk and Dalishious did a fantastic piece on her blog about the veil. It’s here if you haven’t read it. Firstly, the veil was never meant to exist in THEDAS in the first place. If you deep dive the lore (and trust me, I really have. A LOT.) It’s obvious that the veil has been the cause of more problems than it has fixed. It’s been slowly killing magic in THEDAS since its creation. It has to come down. It’s also as holey a granny’s doilies anyway. Solas taking it down in a controlled fashion is very likely going to prevent far more deaths than if it keeps just falling apart piecemeal like it’s been doing forever. It’s unfixable and it really really needs to go. ✅
So once that veil drops… I don’t think it’s going to be as horrific as everyone has been bellyaching about forever. Solas’s often misquoted and wildly overblown lines from Trespasser (seriously do y’all even know what the word genocide means? You make me doubt.) are very likely a red herring at best. People are being willingly misled. ✅ I can’t really blame y’all.
Weekes is an absolute Master at playing people’s expectations and assumptions off of their preconceived notions, then throwing a bomb of ‘oops you were all wrong and it was right in front of you the entire time’. They’ve even said they really love to write things like that. I want to write as well as Weekes does when I grow up.
Humans existed before the veil. Why wouldn’t they afterward? Given some of the lore, Qunari also existed before the veil. Why wouldn’t they continue to? Will there be chaos? Yup. ✅ But change is often painful. And if anything needs change it’s the world of THEDAS. (Both for story reasons and for gameplay reasons.)
One of the changes I think we’re likely to see is the implosion of the Chantry. (I am absolutely hoping for this. I’m not a fan of organized religion on a grand scale like that and the Chantry has soooooo damned many skeletons in its closets and atrocities under its belt that I will absolutely celebrate when it burns to the ground.)
Which will happen if it comes out that Solas put up the veil in the first place and took it down too. The Chantry either outright claims or strongly insinuates that the maker put up the veil. It’s the cornerstone of their entire faith. Also, in the story Genetivi Dies in the End in Tevinter Nights, Genetivi is absolutely wrecked by the discovery that everything he’s ever written as a travelling Chantry Scholar has been a lie. The Chantry is going down.
So, there’s gonna be some chaos there. And that’s not going to be Solas’s fault because that veil is coming down anyway.
And can you imagine the absolutely hilarious chaos that’s gonna happen when word leaks that an elven god-mage was the one who is technically the ‘maker’ by Chantry doctrine? With all the horrific racism and sheer awfulness the Chantry has done to elves over the centuries? I’m popping popcorn.
I think we’re gonna see Felassan again. ✅️ Cause that elf isn’t dead. And no, Solas didn’t kill him. Please trust me, I’ve combed through all the lore, I’ve read The Masked Empire where it supposedly happened several times, and there is not a shred of actual proof that Solas was the one who did the deed. It’s a Weekes misdirection again. They've got the nickname Tricksy Weekes for a reason.
The actual facts about the 'murder'.
It was someone Felassan worked for.
Someone he knew.
Someone who he knew wouldn't listen to his reasoning. (Solas has been shown to actually listen to his friends and let them change his mind.)
Someone who could very likely have been female because Felassan likens the murderer to Brialla.
It was someone who could fade-walk or move in the fade.
Mythal can do that.
A Somniari/Dreamer can also fade-walk.
Probably most of the still extant Elvhenan can do it (which there were quite a few of in Mythal’s temple).
And we know from DA2 that at least one modern born Somniari/Dreamer exists in the world.
Point being, there’s no actual ‘Solas killed Felassan’ spelled out anywhere. No, not even in Cole's lines in Trespasser. Those lines only indicate that Solas knows about Felassan’s ‘death’ and that he’s sad about it. Cole talks in riddles and references to modern TV shows all the time. I have no idea why people take him even remotely literally.
I have a few theories about this.
IF Felassan’s spirit actually was killed in the fade (possible) his body wasn’t. His body would’ve been just lying there in the woods breathing like any other Somniari. Possibly made tranquil (which we know can be reversed).
What if Solas lost his original body in putting up the Veil?
What if he had a deal with Felassan or maybe came to Felassan to help him get back to his body after the attack and Felassan decided he was done and wanted to move on?
They're said to be friends. Never said to be employer/employee.
If Solas was awake and in the fade and sensed an attack on Felassan, he'd certainly have gone to help.
What if he gave his body to Solas?
Felassan's 'death' chronologically lines up to when Solas 'woke up'.
Felassan has purple eyes. So does Solas.
Felassan has fade-green magic. So does Solas.
Felassan is incredibly powerful. Stares at Solas.
Felassan knows far more about Fen'harel than even a scholar would.
Felassan knew far more about Eluvians, ancient Elvhenan, and The Forgotten Ones (Imshael is a Forgotten One) than anyone would reasonably expect any elf to know.
Felassan let Imshael see into his head about what was coming in the future. Which Imshael almost got off on. Imshael loves destruction and chaos.
I can make a list as long as my arm on similarities there. So, either Solas didn’t kill Felassan and the old? Felassan will be in the game once the veil falls, or it will be revealed that Solas has actually been wearing a (voluntary because a soul cannot take a body involuntarily) Felassan suit the entire time.
Probably blew some minds there, huh?
So given that Weekes has said that if Felassan was a popular enough character they would consider bringing him back… I think it’s likely we’ll see something to do with him again.
Also? The sheer hilarity factor of elves who do not want magic (Fenris anyone?) getting magic returned to them is going to be sweet.
I think we’ll see blood magic as a much bigger mechanic than in previous games. (And I hope they did some work on it to make it make more sense this time.) The game is going to have a lot of Tevinter content. Blood magic is a big deal there. Ergo… it’s likely.
Given some of the things that happened in Tevinter Nights, which honestly really feels like a teaser book to DA4 (I really hate the Veilguard name) I think it’s likely that we’ll see the Templars again. They’ve been in every game and book so far. I doubt they’d get rid of the useless bastards in this one.
Given some of the things in Tevinter Nights, I think it’s possible we’ll see just as many puzzles as we did in DAI, if not more. I’m hoping for more. I do love puzzles in these kinds of games.
I believe it’s highly possible that whoever drank from the Well is going to be completely fucked. Especially, if they follow a ‘kill Solas’ route. Remember who the well binds you to in Trespasser? Bingo.
I think it’s very likely that someone close to the main character is going to be a dual agent of Fen’harel. And it will not be someone we expect. We’re all gonna be side eyeing the mages after the last three games. But what if it’s a warrior or rogue who hides their magic? There was at least one character that completely hid their magic in Tevinter Nights.
We’re going to see more of the Evanuris and The Nameless/Forgotten ones. I base that on Imshael being in DAI and in Masked Empire and some of the dialogue between Felassan and Imshael.
Titans. We’re going to see the titans waking up and being royally pissed off. This is going to cause so much chaos for the dwarves. Who will also regain magic and a kinda creepy hive-mind thing, too. Again. That’s not going to be Solas’s fault.
We’ll have at least one Gala event. Very possibly in Minrathous or Vyrantium. Hopefully with better clothing.
Finally, for things I think likely… The Grand Necropolis in Nevarra is gonna burn. People seem to forget that Solas doesn’t just fight for the freedom of the Elves. He fights for the freedom of spirits too.
In case you haven’t read it… the Nevarrans imprison spirits in the corpses of their dead using mages called the Mortalitasi. I really don’t think that is going to sit well with Solas. In fact, I know it doesn’t. It’s spelled out in Tevinter Nights.
I think it’s probably going to be a quest line for the main character to go and save the necropolis or let it burn to free the spirits. This, of course, will be one of the choices that matter and likely another pinch point on whether Solas goes dark or gets a redemption arc. It will also deeply affect Nevarran politics and the way the country is run. The Mortalitasi basically rule the monarchs of Nevarra sooooo. It’s gonna cause chaos there too.
We’ll obviously see a lot of chaos with the Qunari. Their culture is splintering already. The Antaam have decided to go off the rails and attack anything and everything. Maybe the Ben-Hassrath will be able to rein that in. Maybe not. I don’t have very many predictions on the Qunari to be honest. They’re at war with Tevinter at the end of Tevinter Nights so that war will figure heavily in the game, most likely. But how that’s going to play out I haven’t a clue.
Some mechanics I think we might see.
Fade-touched weaponry that can stop mages.
Elemental interactions. (IE: Magic lightning x water = lots of zap)
Magically treated arrows. ✅️
More magical bombs and poison effects. (I might be just wishfully dreaming there because one of the things I miss from DAO is the poisons and traps mechanics. They felt like an afterthought in DA2 and DAI. I want to be able to make cool traps and set up ambushes again.) But there was that story with Dorian in Tevinter Nights where several of those things were used, so maybe? It would be cool.
I think it’s likely that we’ll see the Despair Demon from Tevinter Nights. And I’m still so mad that they fired the writer of that story. It’s one of my favourites.
Some things that are very possible? But I’m not sure of and could just be wishful thinking.
I think we might see Abelas again. (Abelas romance? Pretty please? ❌😭) His story does have one of those endings that kills him so it’s possibly just wishful thinking. But they brought Leliana back for DAI, so I don’t see why they couldn’t with Abelas too. And also, I have a voice kink and love his VA Matthew Gravelle.
We might see non-linear storytelling. I kind of hope we do because I love non-linear storytelling. Perhaps one storyline will be Arlathan (through dreams or time travel perhaps?) and the fall of it so we finally get some answers to all of this lore. (Please let us get some answers!)
We may see some problems from a rather irrational faction of people who say they’re working for Solas but are using methods he would never approve of. They may be sort of like the Venatori in the last game. Though I do think it’s likely we might have to fight a few more of the Venatori too. ✅ They’re still out there having really messed up rituals and stuff to destroy things.
I think it’s possible given a few clues in the lore and in Tevinter Nights that we’re either going to see not just a double blight (regular darkspawn and red lyrium darkspawn) but a triple blight with the green/yellow lyrium found in Ghilan'nain’s labs. Remember that Ramesh only destroyed one of them. There are eleven more. I think that’s going to very possibly be a big part of this game.
Settings/Levels/Areas I think likely.
Tumblr media
So, we already know that the game will be taking place in the north of THEDAS. That’s a no brainer after the map reveal in the teaser.
But where exactly will they take us?
In Tevinter, I think it’s very possible we’ll see Minrathous ✅ and Vyrantium. We may see the Black Divine’s/Archon’s palace.
We’ll see Arlathan Forest. ✅ That I’m almost certain of. We’ll probably also see ancient Arlathan somehow. (Dreams or barely used time-travel mechanic from DAI?)
We’re going to be spending a lot of time in the deep roads and even farther below the deep roads. And dear developers please let me have some answers to all this lore.
We may spend some time inside a Titan again.
Pre-veil drop, we may spend some time in the fade. I actually hope that with the veil dropping we get to rescue whoever got left behind in DAI. That would make my heart so happy.
We’re likely to see the crossroads at least a little bit.
Antiva! Gods I’m looking forward to seeing Antiva.
Anderfels/Weisshaupt. We have no idea at the end of DAI or Tevinter Nights or Last Flight what the hell is going on up there, so I think we’ll have to find out in the game. Also… more chaos that is most definitely not Solas’s fault.
Rivain?
I think we’ll see the Golden City. And the Black City. Which is likely the same place.
And I don’t think it’s up in the sky. I think it’s deep underground below the deep roads.
Ships! I think we’re going to see some more ships. That’s based on a story in Tevinter nights and some of the splash art. But gods I really want more ships. Especially in a place like Minrathous or Antiva for fuck’s sake!
Tumblr media Tumblr media
I think we might see some underwater levels for various reasons. And I hope we do.
Tumblr media
These next things are honestly my hopes and dreams that would make me so happy, but I have little to back them up with as far as lore or books/comics and supplementary materials.
Polyamory options. PLEASE give me polyam romance options. BG3 did it. It’s 2024 and only 30% of dating people are monogamous. Get with the times! ❌️
I want CC body sliders so bad. ✅ Give me the ability to make a fat player character please! Not just because a lot of gamers tend to be on the heavier side but honestly? Because a fat adventurer is going to be able to go farther than any skinny twig. Real strong men/women/enbies do not look like gym bunnies and models. They have a good layer of fat over that muscle for stability. Guess what fat is? It’s energy storage. A fat adventurer is going to be able to survive longer than a twig. I could go on… but come on Bioware. Be brave. Let me have a fat adventurer. ✅️
Decent. Fucking. Hair. ✅ Please let the CC have decent hair options. LONG hair options! Let me have my long haired elfy prince dude!
Isabela cameo. She’s one of my favourite DA2 characters and some of the early splash art makes me hopeful we’ll see her again. ✅️
I’m hoping for DAO origin style stories for the Main Player Character. But ideally? We’d have something like BG3 where we could play one of a number of origin stories or make our own blank slate character. ❌ Given the gossip going around the gaming community I’m thinking this is unlikely, but damn do I want it.
Useful. Mounts. Please let us have actually useful mounts. And GRIFFONS. ✅ Give me flying mounts you cowards!
Prosthetic using characters. ✅ Bioware has the worst track record when it comes to ableism, but gods please. They’ve got it set up perfectly with Inky losing their arm. There’s a prosthetic leg user in Tevinter Nights. PLEASE LET ME HAVE PROSTHETIC USING CHARACTERS.
Better Crafting Options. The crafting was okay in DAI. Especially if you mod it in so you can buy the stuff to do so easier (I really hate killing dragons but it’s the best crafting material!). But it also often felt more like an afterthought?
Better. Clothes. Seriously. Give me some razzle dazzle with the clothing. ESPECIALLY since we’re going to Tevinter where how you dress is absolutely important!
I know this is sniffing the genie smoke here, but could we have actually attractive armour options? With BRIGHT colours? Research shows that a lot of historical armour was 1. Gorgeous and well fitting. 2. Brightly painted! Let me have bright colours! (And please not the yellow plaid. Ugh.)
I hope for more gardening options in whatever base we end up using. I loved the gardening options in DAI, but they weren’t big enough for my plant loving heart.
I really want to see Solas in flying Wolfie form. We see him like that in Tevinter Nights. So, I really hope we get to see him like that in game.
Finally… and I know I’m high on my own hopes here… I really hope we get the gifting options back. Completely unattached to approval is fine. I just want to be able to find the perfect gift for my companions like I do in real life with my friends. It brings me so much joy.
Things they’re likely to fuck up.
Sadly, I think there’s some things Bioware is very likely to fuck up. This could just be me being too pessimistic, but they’ve screwed these things up throughout the entire series and to my knowledge they didn’t hire any diversity consultants in the making of DA4 sooooo…
Ableism. Bioware has a terrible record when it comes to ableism. ✅ (the demon design is going to cause visual strain and possibly bad effects for epileptic gamers).
White-washing. The North of THEDAS is like the South of Earth. If they make most of the people there have light skin I will probably boycott the fuck out of Bioware for the rest of my life. ✅️
No fat character ability in CC.
Really fucked up hair options. Seriously Bioware. It’s bad.
And I think they’re going to be in trouble when it comes to the Lords of Fortune. Look. I love the idea of the class and I even love how a lot of them are described in the books. But it’s absolutely glomming onto the stereotype of the Romani, and I don’t think that’s going to go over well at all. It won’t for me with my Romani heritage, and it really shouldn’t for anyone. Cause you know what that stereotypical usage is? It’s Racism. Bioware also doesn’t have the best track record regarding racism either.
As more thoughts come to me I’ll either append stuff to this post or do others (probably the latter.)
And here are my links if you want to toss me a buck or two as a tip. I'm recovering from a pulmonary embolism (do not recommend) and every penny helps because I'm the sole income for my family.
And if you're in Canada like me you can use Interac. [email protected].
As always, thanks for reading my rambles!

i'm trying to refrain to say all of them but these for zyg and kavi?
🌧️ "When outside during the rain, do you use a raincoat, an umbrella, or something else? Do you enjoy rain?"
🍳 "Are you a good cook? Do you enjoy cooking? What's your favorite thing to cook?"
🧼 "Do you prefer to take a shower during the morning or evening? Do you like taking baths? What's your favorite scent of shower gel?"
❌ "Would you do something that someone told you not to do? Why? Is there someone you'd actually listen to more than everyone else?"
🏳️ "What will make you give up?"
📖 "What kinds of books do you read? Do you have a lot of time to read?"
⛸️ "What's your favorite kind of sport? Do you follow sports closely or don't care at all?"
oh lord you're gonna force me to develop them IMMEDIATELY huh
since literally nobody else knows who these people are: I have a new WIP that i haven't posted about much yet, but it's a sci-fi story set on a luxury cruise In Space. Kavi (they/them) is a human and also a criminal laying low by sneaking onto the ship as an employee. Zyg (he/him) (shortened nickname for human convenience) is a rich alien failson with a human fetish a fascination with humans, he's on the cruise as a passenger with his family and bunch of other high-society figures of his culture. Zyg's species is reptilian, drawing heavy inspiration from crocodilians and a sprinkling of other lizards, and they all have big frills around their necks that change color based on their emotions (semi-voluntarily).
🌧️ "When outside during the rain, do you use a raincoat, an umbrella, or something else? Do you enjoy rain?"
Kavi: "I try to avoid going out in the rain at all, if I can. Where I'm from, it's a toss up between actual rain and boiling hot ocean geyser water that melts your skin off. I know not all planets are like that, but still."
Zyg: "Oh, I love the rain! I don't cover myself at all—in fact, my favorite thing to do is go for a swim during a storm."
🍳 "Are you a good cook? Do you enjoy cooking? What's your favorite thing to cook?"
Kavi: "I'm decent, I think. I didn't practice a ton or anything, but I can feed myself and it tastes good to me. Home cooking is always better than replicated stuff anyway. My mom shared her recipes with me, and some of them are from a crazy long time ago, like from Earth. So even if I suck, I've got novelty on my side."
Zyg: "I... no. I'm not. Next question?"
🧼 "Do you prefer to take a shower during the morning or evening? Do you like taking baths? What's your favorite scent of shower gel?"
Kavi: "I shower whenever I feel like one and whenever I have time, I'm not picky. My baths are so long, I usually don't have time to take them, but I think that's why I take so long. I like to indulge when I get the chance.
All my favorite scents are the generic ocean scented ones—it doesn't really smell like home, but it's close enough."
Zyg: "I really don't understand the appeal of a shower, it's one of the few things about humanity I find underwhelming. You all have tubs, don't you? They achieve the same goal, but one is just... worse. By all metrics. At least fill the bath when you shower, that would make it acceptable.
Anyway. The simple gels you all use are lovely, but they don't do nearly enough for scales. I use a harsher scrub, and my favorite smells like... hm... I don't think it exists for humans. I think the closest scent would be a very strong wood, or even leather?"
❌ "Would you do something that someone told you not to do? Why? Is there someone you'd actually listen to more than everyone else?"
Kavi: "...I've done a lot of things my mom told me not to do. I don't think she was wrong, but I do think she was naïve. Overly optimistic. She's the person I always looked up to, and... I had to break her rules. I don't regret it."
Zyg: "Oh, plenty. 'Don't do that, Zyg' is my family's favorite phrase. A couple of my sisters are nice enough to turn dark blue with indifference, but rest of them are persistent about trying to curb any behaviors of mine they don't happen to already like. It's.. exhausting.
I've stopped listening to all of them. I don't think I know a single other person I would trust more than myself."
🏳️ "What will make you give up?"
Kavi: "I don't... want to think about it. I can't think about it, because—I don't know, I don't want to believe anything can."
Zyg: "Being pushed in so many directions by so many people... sometimes the best defense is letting the current take you where it will. I can swim back upstream whenever they're done."
📖 "What kinds of books do you read? Do you have a lot of time to read?"
Kavi: "Uhh, I don't read much? I was into adventure stories when I was a kid, but I don't know, I guess I grew out of them. My mom used to read to me a lot. Maybe I got bored trying to read by myself!"
Zyg: "I would spend my entire life reading if I could. I read everything I could get my claws on growing up, but I tend to stick to anthropology and culture studies these days. I used to have a lot more time to myself..."
⛸️ "What's your favorite kind of sport? Do you follow sports closely or don't care at all?"
Kavi: "I will destroy your ass at beach volleyball."
Zyg: "I'd rather watch, if I have to participate at all. It's all well and good for studying play behaviors, but I'd rather not be the subject."

👀 Tell me about an up and coming wip please!
❌ What's a trope you will never write?
🎶 Do you listen to music while you write? What song have you been playing on loop lately?
✨ Give you and your writing a compliment. Go on now. You know you deserve it. 😉
🛒 What are some common things you incorporate in your fics? Themes, feels, scenes, imagery, etc.
🎢 Which of your fics would you call your wildest ride?
🤡 What's a line, scene, or exchange you've written that made you laugh?
Love you babe!! I know the answer to some of these but 🫶
Wheezing so hard rn kitty cat you sent like 1/3 the list
Okay so—
👀: I started a Jon/Dami civilian au FOREVER ago, and it’s *this* close to being finished. I really can’t wait to post it because it’s a fun mix of fluffy and angsty (the latter is my specialty), where Jon/Dami have a very unusual first meeting when Damian walks into the veterinarians office Jon works at concussed, bleeding, and cuddling an inured raccoon.
“I am fine.” He says, resisting Jon’s attempts to be seated. He ignores Jon’s bewildered look as well and proffers up the raccoon he’s swaddled and had up to that point been practically cuddling. “Help him. I have grievously injured him and I am at fault.”
While admirable, Jon really wants to point out that he also looks pretty injured and also needs help. “Sir,” He replies calmly, even though this guy can’t be too much older than him. “You’re bleeding. I will help both of you, but we need to call 911 now and get your head checked. If I give you the phone and take the raccoon, could you describe the situation to an operator and explain what happened?”
To Jon’s horror, tears well up in the man’s green eyes. “You’re right. We should call the police, I need to be arrested for taking his life.”
❌: hmmm, now this is a bit of a hard one, I tend to write across a bunch of tropes and don’t really judge people for indulging in theirs… I genuinely can’t think of an answer, you’ll have to tell me something I forgot after I post this.
🎶: I’m always listening to music while I write. My music varies heavily month to months. I tend to find a new batch of songs and listen to them on loop while I write until it’s done or I get sick of them. As you know, I listened to Stranger by Thomas Day for the second chapter of the fic I gifted you, Rook, which is about very sad, angsty stuff centered around Tim and Damian. Click the fic name to end up on ao3!
✨: I actually love my own work sometimes, maybe not *always*, but there are fics I’m especially proud of. I’ll recommend (myself, yes!) Leave a Message, which is a civilian au fic about Damian celebrating his second Christmas ever, while really missing Dick who’s driving a taxi around Bludhaven unable to remember his family who’s waiting for him to come home. Trust me on this one, read it, I won’t let you down.
🛒: Damian running away. It’s a staple in a decent number of my fics, possibly because he does it A LOT in canon too. If I counted the number of fics where Damian was running away from his family or his problems, I think I’d be counting a majority of my fics.
🎢: This…okay look, I’m answering these like I’ve only ever written Batfam fic, which isn’t true, but we’re going to pretend it is to persevere some of my dignity. ANYWAY, definitely going to point a finger at Unimportant and Like We Were Then. Unimportant has spiralled beyond my control, and there are characters and things going on in it that I wasn’t planning for or expecting. Meanwhile, LWWT went from a 5+1 to a 33k word monstrosity with a plot that wasn’t planned either, but I’m actually quite proud of. Hoping to get the epilogue up soon ♥️
🤡: Basically the entirety of I Think I Have A Ghost in which Jason can’t remember his time in the league, and there’s a small child sized wraith who’s been following him around for weeks. These things are not unrelated. I’m proud of both works in the series, but particularly:
He drops a bag of tea in each mug, sits on one of a few stools around the kitchen island, and slides one of the mugs across the table to the side opposite of him.
He waits for the presence to decide what it wants to do.
“It’s going to over steep.” He tries.
It shouldn’t work. What ghost drinks tea?
Apparently, his.
The kid, because it really is an actual child, on silent feet, steps through the doorway to the kitchen and scales the stool in front of the steeping tea. All of this is done without a sound or any indication that this whole situation is really bizarre.
Jason raises a brow at the kid, and takes a sip of his tea. The kid copies the motion, only making the slightest face of distaste.
So not only is he not a ghost, Jason decides, he’s a posh not-a-ghost.
“Cool.” Jason says. “Wanna explain whatever this—” He motions between them, “—Is, kid?
The kid takes a longer sip.
Okay then.
Thank you for asking all these, Kat ♥️

😈❌🤩?
Thank you friend!
(Fanfic writer ask meme- I am still taking these!)
_
😈 Has there been a point in a story where you did something just to be playfully mean to your readers?
Ahahahah, good question...
I suppose every time I leave a chapter off on a cliffhanger I'm being just a LITTLE "mean" to my readers. But of course, I'm also being mean to myself- because damn, even as the writer, even I am dying to know how they'll get out of this one! Smh, would love if the author would update one day.
Beyond that I'm not sure if I could classify any of my writing decisions as me specifically picking on the readers. Mean to myself? Sure! I overtly have a line in Crack the Paragon that's me making fun of myself for being a slow writer on long fics. But overtly mean to readers? Not super my style beyond cliffhangers.
❌ What’s a trope you will never write?
Hmm.
While it's more of a fandom trope than a more small-scale story trope, I will never personally touch the "all-human AU."
I have read a few stories that make this set up work, but I think an author has to have a REALLY solid grasp of the characters, their dynamics, and the overall themes of the source material to make it work and have it still feel like a transformative work.
And that's my main thing with this fandom trope... very often, they become so detached from the source material that they no longer feel like a transformative work at all, but rather a completely different story with only the names of characters and a few vague plot beats in common. If I go looking for fan works to read for a sci-fi/fantasy story, then I ideally want to SEE those sci-fi/fantasy elements represented in some way. The reason why I enjoy characters such as... say, Steven, is in PART because they aren't like anything we know. I like toying with those inhuman aspects of such characters.
So yeah, you'll never see me doing an all-human coffee shop AU, or what have you. It can certainly be done in a satisfying way with the right setup, but it's not for me.
🤩 Who is your favorite character to write?
Steven. Not even a contest. Anyone who knows me, and my icon, and my blog title, and the subject (whether it be the POV subject or the focus subject) of the bulk of my works can probably tell this very easily, ahahah.
I don't think I've ever been so sucked in by a single fictional character in my whole life. I could probably write a 50 page collegiate level paper on Steven at this point.
The runner-up to this right now is either Greg or Connie. Both very fun characters to watch bounce off of Steven and the Gems, not to mention just all the wild Gem stuff that's going on otherwise.

After watching the final episode of Netflix’s Wednesday, rewatching the whole thing a second time, and then letting it sit for a couple days to get my thoughts together, here are my overall likes/dislikes/critiques. Hopefully I don’t forget anything as I tend to do sometimes. I am notorious for long written posts, you’ve been warned.
.
.
❌ WEDNESDAY SPOILERS ❌ [obviously]
.
.
.
.
I still hold true that overall I quite love the show. While there are a few critiques and things I didn’t like very much or that I thought could be done better, I would watch it again and still enjoy myself. So now to get into my thoughts in the form of bullet points and lists :). The critiques may seem longer, but that’s mainly because I go into a bit of a rant in regards to writing and choices and stuff. Overall what I like does out way what I disliked or considered flaws.
-What I Liked-
• The casting and overall characterization of Wednesday Addams.
• Maintaining that she’s so bizarrely out of the scape of ‘normalcy’ that she’s an outcast even amongst other outcasts.
• Latino main characters and representation for once.
• Enid. I love her claws and just everything.
• Eugene.
• The focus on being primarily Wednesday and not on the Addams as a whole. It’s a Wednesday show about HER after all. The whole internal conflict is her not wanting to be overshadowed by her mother.
• The further exploration of Wednesday not just being a mini-Morticia
• The inclusion of the supernatural, creatures and such and showing how being a different species does not necessarily make you the oddest one out.
• Gothic Aesthetics done wonderfully.
• Wednesday’s wardrobe.
• Wednesday actively listening to Spanish music and the language overall being used a bit more in dialogue by, yknow, Latino characters and not limited to the usual “hola” and “gracias” in the script. Have Latino characters speak more Spanish more often please I get so excited every time…I promise it’s accurate why do you think spanglish is a thing?
• The headmistress and how it didn’t go down the stereotypical “evil headmistress/the headmistress was the one behind it all or involved” plot twist.
• The school was more interesting and kind of better than Hogwarts and that’s coming from someone who’s a massive HP fan all my life. I just wish we could have spent more times at the school related stuff doing school things. Maybe go harder on the monster high vibes (OG monster high, not G3)
• The uniforms and having Wednesday’s be different was a great choice. This girl cannot be seen in any other color that would just be blasphemy and I can totally see her taking and dying the uniform herself.
• Cello, Typewriter, Gramophone (or as most people would refer to it “record player”). Made me very happy to see those as they are literally things I love as an antique collector and user.
• I love that she’s a writer. Not just cause I can relate as a writer myself. But because it just fits so incredibly well.
• Using the term normie.
• Fuck colonizers
• Blood dance visuals
• Dark Gothy tone with gothic architecture, a boarding school with very nice uniforms, Murder mystery, secret societies…this show is dark academia.
• young Gomez and Morticia was fun to explore.
• Thing. But that’s a given.
• I can go on and on about what I liked but then this will end up way too long.
Things I Felt Could Be Done Better But Did Not Hate.
• Morticia Addams. I thought the actress did a lovely job overall (she certainly got that Morticia walk down), and I don’t really agree with a lot of peoples criticisms. But I would have liked to see a bit more attention to the part she plays in the strain between her and Wednesday. Like I would have liked to spend a bit more time on that, it kind of felt like it just got dropped after that one episode where the parents come to the school and Wednesday’s complex about being compared to her just disappears a bit too quickly.
• Weems and Morticias whole thing going on. Loved the idea but sad it wasn’t explored more, it had such interesting potential. Especially in regards to Weems and Wednesday’s dynamic.
• The whole resolution between Gomez and the Sheriff dude was way too fast. Your telling me this guy that has held a grudge for years against Gomez, is suddenly going to be all friendly after it being proven he was innocent? An apology is fine but then that should have been it. I dunno that final interaction between them even if ht was really short felt a little too “we are friends now yeah my son likes your daughter haha isn’t that funny”. Just would have liked that executed a smidge differently.
• The drama with Bianca, I liked what we got but would have liked to see more of a rivalry and moments like that.
Things I Disliked/Critiques
• while the CGI wasn’t the absolute most amazing, it wasn’t the worse…until we get to the CGI and overall designs of large creatures. I’m sure you must know I’m referring to the Hyde, but Enid’s werewolf form is not at all exempt from this criticism. Granted the Hyde’s form is a lot more agreggious. The only thing I disliked about Enid’s wolf form was her face. As a furry that follows many furry artists including ones that work with 3D sculpting and stuff, I dunno. I felt like the face, the snoot mainly, could have been shaped differently? She looks kind of derpy, the body is fine but it’s just that face. Also the way her hair/fur in her head was shaped reminded me and my partner of bibble.The Hyde though? Everything but ESPECIALLY the face. And why do Tyler’s eyeballs have to be the first things that transform and bulge out I could not stop laughing it was so…wow. It reminded me of when cartoons inflate themselves by blowing into their thumb and their head is the first thing to expand like. I dunno I couldn’t take it seriously. The art Xavier drew of the Hyde looked way cooler and scarier than the actual model of the Hyde, which is such a shame because I think the model could have done the art justice if just a few tweaks and details where added. There wasn’t enough detail so I feel like that made the face look cartoonish in an uncanny way, and not in a good uncanny way.
• Why is Wednesday so eager to work with the police? You could probably argue that she only worked and cooperated with them because they had access to resources she needed so yknow she was using them but that’s not how it came off. This is I think one of two things I did not agree with In regards to this characterization of Wednesday. And yes there are really only two as far as I remember. She was way too cooperative with the sheriff, wanting to work together with him which is very out of character even to this very characterization of her. We are supposed to see how she commits all sorts of criminal activities no problem, I mean it’s in her nature, but she still goes and asks to work with the sheriff? It made it feel almost like a jarring 180 when she did what we expect her to do, disregard morals and torture/kill people without batting an eye. Not sure if I’m making much sense. I would have expected her to have acted like Bianca in that regard, not trusting the police and going straight to Weems instead like she had said to her.
• The second thing I didn’t agree with in regards to this characterization, and it is mainly because I don’t think it’s written well. Why is Wednesday, the girl that is writing and has written several mystery novels about a detective, probably has done in depth research on murders and crime and probably has read detective novels herself…committing the mistake of jumping to conclusions way too soon and forgetting evidence that would actually debunk that conclusion? Like the whole thing with Xavier. Her first inclination to confront him and accuse him? Yeah okay. That’s fine. She’s a teen she’s bound to be impulsive. But after she knew the DNA results had come back and didn’t match? Why did she ignore/completely forget that and continue to pursue, even arrest Xavier? As a suspect yeah he could have remained in her list of suspicious peoples but shouldn’t she have considered that very specific debunking fact SHE had sought out in the first place? Wednesday is a clever person, and she’s written here to be considered as such. But she’s conveniently written to forget or not consider things that I felt like she absolutely would have while sleuthing. Not only that, but just…I feel like after falsely accusing Xavier, and then being further made to question her own deductions thanks to the results of the DNA, why did she continue to go and throw out accusations so easily? It would have made more sense to me if the DNA results made her question her first conclusions and sort of take a step back and proceed more carefully when it came to investigating her potential suspects. She wouldn’t have continued to make the exact same mistake the next several times. I think this was done with the intention of showing how she interpreted her visions with too much bias and kept clinging to a story she put together rather than consider how her visions only show a small piece and not the full picture…but I feel like the over repetition of her kind of blindly going up to and accusing people didn’t quite show that.
• Everything with Tyler and Xavier portraying anything Wednesday did or said as “signals”. I’m fine with either of them kind of crushing on her. With Xavier, it did feel a bit more one sided and more like he was trying to get close to a girl he liked but then later I feel like that got ruined by him saying “you don’t know who your real friends are” just because his attempts and advances where ignored or rejected or obliviously brushed off. It veered into demanding a bit and not actually being considerate of how she just doesn’t work that way. She’s not selfish for only focusing on a mystery she’s been very clear about wanting to solve, she’s not selfish for not paying any mind to you or your advances. Same goes with Tyler but I feel like he’s kind of worse. At first I found it cute but when he said stuff about her “sending signals” and “I thought you liked me” I was like huh? When? Where? I was at first under the impression it would develop into a more obvious attraction between them as Wednesday learned to navigate any feelings she was beginning to experience for the first time, but by the time he says that there hasn’t been an inkling of development in regards to romance yet other than his very clear interest in her. But not so much the other way around. Also, while I understand being upset or jealous that the person you like is going or chose to go to a dance with someone else…you’re not entitled to them or their time? You can’t really get mad at them for not choosing you when they haven’t even made any actual advance or show of interest towards you. This goes for Xavier too. Why is it that when she went to ask for his help when he was locked up, and she told him about the vision she had that exposed Tyler as the Hyde, his focus was on her “getting action while he’s being framed”…wouldn’t you at least be more interested in how someone finally knew you where innocent and was going to help you? Basically…with both boys it just came off as very forced “obligatory Hetero love interests”. Because it was literally just “Boy like girl. Girl interacts with boy. Boy takes that as interest from girl who is clearly not in tune with those kinds of emotions and hasn’t shown a single whiff of interest. Girl ignores advances and puts epic mystery above any romance. Guy gets mad and views this as selfish and callous for not reciprocating and focusing on her case even though this is all she would talk about around them”. It just feels like they could have done the same conflicts and plot lines with these characters without it having to be love interest right off the bat. Developed in a later season? Yeah okay. But instantly? Instant love interests that are forced in? It feels a but pushing heteronormativity and kind of disregards how character development should be gradual. People growing and especially someone who is not in tune with emotions won’t suddenly be interested in a boyfriend when they don’t even have interest with friends. Someone like Wednesday that is used to isolation and only relying on herself needs to first develop an understanding of friendships and how it’s okay to let people be your friend, that it’s not a weakness, before jumping to insta romances.
• This might go back to the whole sleuthing thing before but I’ll put it in a separate bullet point cause I would not want to make them too terribly long. But…the way Wednesday figured out Tyler was the Hyde…she didn’t actually figure it out. It was pretty much spelled out for her, shown to her. And that could be fine if executed differently but it takes away from the whole whodunnit detective-ing thing. There’s a level of satisfaction we get when we watch or read our main characters finally solving a mystery and finding out the epic answers we witnessed them searching for this whole time, and I feel like having her figure it out because her vision power actually showed her takes away from her actually solving it thanks to her cleverness and the clues she gathered, as well as conflicts with the whole “don’t trust your visions so easily they don’t show the full story and you have to learn how to navigate them” plot.
• Next. Weem’s death. Why? I really wanted to see that character arc between her and Wednesday flourish and conclude properly, maybe even have them bond a little? Explore more about her as a character and her past through Wednesday? But she died. They killed big tall lady headmistress >:(. And so quickly too not even a final word to Wednesday or anything. I get why but still. Such a loss of great potential.
• The vampires are there…but…where are they? We introduce sirens and their existence, we explore werewolves and how they work. Adequat introductory lore for those. But Vampires get one mention, and that’s it. I didn’t even realize Yoko was a vampire until I realized all the vampires wore sunglasses. I would have liked an actual main character with more than two lines to have been a vampire. I would have liked to explore a little of what vampires in this world were like the way we got to explore the wolves and the sirens a little bit. As a vampire enthusiast this made me sad.
• It kind of feels like they where too scared to go full Wednesday Addams level of cruelty and immorality. Like they kept her personality in tact but things where a bit too almost sanitized to keep her as the “good protagonist” when she’s a very very very dark grey. She’s always had a strong sense of justice but she’s not above vengeance and carrying it out in the most fucked yo ways possible. You can’t have her gush over serial killers and but then call the murderer behind the killings a “psychotic murderer” in a derogatory way but then admire murder cases. When we all know she would have been impressed by it at least a little. Cause she’s morbid that way. Also I read someone say that she would have driven her therapist insane and I wish she had that would have been so perfect. There’s ways to differentiate a character like her from the actual antagonists without watering down those aspects. Like when she was down to torture Tyler. But that ended up conflicting with some other things due to that “watering down/sanitization” of her actions.
•I didn’t mind Ajax as character but he also felt particularly empty and like he was only added in to ensure heteronormativity love interests for the mains. He especially had not much to him, no real development, hardly a personality, and on top of that it’s just established that Enid likes him but we never explore any of that so it feels empty and thus forced and shallow.
• Why are there no gay guys? Or non-binary/trans? I see the lesbian parents and potentially lesbian Yoko and that other girl but like…can we have some gay men too please? And gender inclusivity? Non-binary/Trans people would be a nice inclusion to this allegory about outcasts and being different to societal norms.
.
.
That’s it for now. If I remember anything else I’ll edit it in probably :) sorry it’s so long I just have lots of thoughts in this silly skull of mine.
.
.
.
.
Bonus section, personal headcanons I agree with :)
• Autistic Wednesday
• Morticia is totally aware of weem’s resentment towards her and considering how the Addams tend to have a very different perspective on things most people view as a bad thing, she’d likely consider it a nice aspect of their friendship. Don’t all friendships include the spice of bitter resentment?
• Bisexual Enid
• Wednesday starts listening to true crime and supernatural podcasts.
• Puerto Rican Wednesday and no one can take that from me.

Sofia : ❌ CROSS MARK, 🗡️ DAGGER, 👻 GHOST, 🩵 LIGHT BLUE HEART, & 🤔 THINKING FACE
❌ CROSS MARK — how would your life be different if [name of person] had never been in it? would it be better or worse?
"Jean-Pierre knows me better than anyone else. While I do not wish to be Queen, at least not actively, he has my eternal gratitude for finding me that day while I escaped the fires. I don't know how long I can avoid him these days and my father's too eager to have me marry him. Yet, a part of me still rejects that idea. I would be a noblewoman, probably much more into fighting than I already am or I would've perished in that fire. Regardless, we do make a great team."
Tumblr media
🗡️ DAGGER — what is something or someone you know you can't afford to lose? how far are you willing to go to make sure you don't lose it/them?
"Myself, my family. I've done terrible things in the past and accepted my own powers in the process, but the stronger I get, the less I trust myself. My brother, Mason, he's one of the four horsemen, uhm," she stumbles over her own words, but regains some strength, "I swore to protect the prince. If he's going to attack, I'll stand first in line to make an end to his terror. And... Joel." she laughs, suddenly completely caught off-guard, "Oh, God, what a nightmare. Literally. I don't know what I was thinking."
Tumblr media
👻 GHOST — is there someone or something that you feel is missing from your life? do you know if there's any way to find it/them?
"Yes, but I wouldn't know how to reach them. It's like a faint rumbling in the back of my mind, like thunder. A constant vibration. Over time I've adapted and learned to just ignore that feeling. My hands are aching to reunite with that person, but over the years I've accepted the possibility of my powers just playing tricks on me."
Tumblr media
🩵 LIGHT BLUE HEART — what do you fantasize about the most often (generally/sexually/etc)? are there any people that are significant to or that you can see in this fantasy and why?
"Fantasize," she stops and ponders, then smiles abruptly, "I see patches of red and a dark hand reaching out to me. Completely black, almost like a shadow, it seems almost surreal, but whenever we touch, whoever that person may be, I feel comforted by that darkness. It's a comfort of knowing that person while not knowing anything. A feeling of belonging, of being understood. No, I don't fantasize about being Queen, I think my father set everything in motion before I could even properly find out who I am. I dream of battles and glory, to love and be loved in return. Too simple, right? Perhaps, they do seem to go hand in hand these days."
Tumblr media
🤔 THINKING FACE — what three emotions tend to dominate your mindset? do you know why they do?
"That's such a strange question. I mean...," she pauses, knowing there were three emotions that were always, somewhere, in the back of her mind, "rage, because I've never been satisfied with what I've been given. There's this... emptiness, like I'm missing a part of myself and no matter what I do, how hard I try, this part of me is still missing. Next, passion. if I believe in something I'll fight tooth and nail to make it happen -- and lastly a sense of fear, terror even, about what's to come, about what I'll create over time. I don't want to be a monster but... I might be."

Two in One Post
Two Responses
For a Response to my Filipino Friend
Yeah it was the best idea to censor things so that way me and our A-Pal won't fall into an identity crisis. Because we don't want to end up with random strangers doing bad things unlike when i was watching Aggrestsuko because the 3rd season was creepy to me, but i won't spoil it to you guys if you guys haven't watch the whole series. But normally we'll only voice chat if we feel like playing a video game together or if anytime you want to try out some of the game shows we have in America, since you don't have some of the game shows we have in your country. It'll be something new for you to give a shot with. But next time, we'll see if we can do group chats and then maybe we chat about some random stuff or do ideas of drawings or stories we can all do.
2nd Response to both my A-Pal and to my Filipino Friend.
Normally now you understand you can still handle the stuff i like doing like Mermaids, conventions, ballet and hula dancing, but not only that, i hope you guys won't mind pregnancy stuff too. But normally we'll only do Mermaid and pregnancy stuff once it's May only after our Filipino Friend's Birthday and i know we already know that. And i also wanted to tell you guys this, i'm also not a fan of Inktober stuff myself, but since you guys are always into that, i guess i'll have to get use to that as well. Since you guys are my best friends after all. Ever since the Cartoon Network theme of Inktober was best, that's why we could've done doing Cartooon Network Zombies, or Cartoon Network in Persona as something Halloween related like the Dark Hour from Persona 3, or we can do Persona Q Shadows of the Labyrinth next once October comes, and After i make a birthday drawing for Lisa. I would draw Inktober too, but it sounds kinda hard especially when i have to keep up with the dates during October. And i thought that would be why i asked a commission for something Halloween related if i were to do something like that. Because every time it's October, after i make a birthday drawing for Lisa, i would have to draw something Halloween related, even though i don't usually like going Trick or Treating, but i would just relaxed, eat some candy, have Corn Dogs form Sonic Drive In, and maybe watch some Halloween Movies and Specials. Otherwise Shadow, Spot and Maxwell will have to do something for Halloween instead.
But for now, maybe Spot and Riya can join with Shadow, Maxwell and May and Sam into Hula dancing together.
Also yes, i know Caleb would work nice as crow, but i hope he doesn't end up in a Crow like with a black mask like how Akechi has in the game.

1, 11, 14 <3
what are 3 things you’d say shaped you into who you are?
The big three would be, unironically; supernatural, being gay, trauma.
Supernatural coming first because it’s been my biggest fandom ever, since I was 17 which is almost a decade ago now! I met some of the best and worst friends through supernatural, who made me both a better and worse person. I got funnier, more confident, more expressive and artistic. I also learned a lot of valuable life skills that people don’t particularly like to think about needing until they’re suddenly trying to burn you at the stake, cyber safety for one, no more stalkers ❌ some of the worst people I know didn’t save my life because I credit that to myself, but they certainly set the wheel in motion. A decade of my life is nearly a whole third of the time I’ve been alive, I did not escape supernatural unchanged, and for the vast majority it was for the better.
what do you consider to be romance?
Romance… I know what romance is in a literary sense, and I certainly recognise it in the shows I watch. I love a good theatrical romance, but I don’t know what that looks like in reality. I don’t… get romanced. Or maybe I do, and I just don’t connect with the scraps I’m fed in the hopes of sex later. Romance is old school to me, it’s not phone screen wallpapers and talking stages.
Romance is flowers, and heart shaped lockets, and soup when you’re sick. Romance is that I wear gold and they remember that when they buy me things, though it’s not the expense that drives me but the fact they look at my face and my throat and my chest and never pay enough attention to the fact that I don’t have an ounce of silver on me.
Romance is in the devotion, it can be just as dark as it is sweet. Romance is in the ruby red stones pressed with your lovers blood, and in the bite marks left behind just for you to see in private and smile, romance is the limp prey that can fight back but doesn’t because it trusts you not to clamp down and draw blood.
Romance is in the worship of the devotee.
If any of that makes any sense?
what’s something you’ve always wanted to do but maybe been scared to do?
I don’t know, I mean, not to brag… but I’m kind of a doer. I do things scared, I do them alone, I do them dumb. I’ve joined protests; done pride; I get piercings and tattoos- done them on myself too; and I’ve been to clubs, nightclub, dirty bar, and of the sex variety; I’ve traveled overseas alone several times. I don’t like to say I’ve done it all because I certainly haven’t, but as for the wanting? I don’t really want for the experience of the free fall out of a plane, or deep sea scuba diving.
I think the only thing left is being vulnerable, that’s pretty scary. I live a little vicariously through your occasional relationship updates, same with Sally’s, I just can’t do it myself no matter how much I want it.
Ask game :)

🛒 🎢 ❌ 🦅🤩
🛒 What are some common things you incorporate in your fics? Themes, feels, scenes, imagery, etc.
Food and cooking. I think Puzzle pointed this out in one of my fics and I love it so I just leaned in hardcore. Now it's like my special treat to myself, what can I incorporate and how does it build on the plot? Different characters' relationships with food is really interesting and something I'll probably never get tired of. Bonding over food, what it represents in personal relationships or backstories...idk I could go on and on.
Understanding mental illness through the metaphor of the story might also be a theme of mine. PTSD, anxiety, depression and trauma definitely come up a lot.
🎢 Which of your fics would you call your wildest ride?
Hmmm. I think Toxic is the most ambitious in terms of plot so far. For better or worse, lol. It's occupying a weird space between danger and fluff because of who the characters are and where they are in their journeys. I might tell a different story if I started from scratch now, but this story has consumed my brain for too long and I need to get it out.
❌ What's a trope you will never write?
Probably like soulmates or omegaverse. Both of them have this biological determinism aspect that I find completely unappealing.
🦅 Do you outline fics or fly by the seat of your pants?
Almost always outlined. I might start writing the first chapter based on vibes but then I have to outline to figure out where it ends up. Of course half the outlining is usually done in my head as a daydream, or at 3 am.
🤩 Who is your favorite character to write?
Wade Wilson hands down. How he plays with the narrative is so fun. Writing someone as truly unhinged is both fun and hard to do well.
I also really liked writing Poison Ivy and I think there's more of her in me. She is such a misanthropic sweet badass. She's a pathetic mew mew plant goddess. I love her.

🥺🛒✨🍦🍷❌🎃👀
JAYNE THIS IS COMPREHENSIVE AF sdlkfjlkds ahahahaha but omg thank you very much for these! also obligatory butts~
-
🥺 Is there a certain type of moment or common interaction between your characters that never fails to put you in your feels?
i love, like, the quiet moments.
like this is any moment and im so sorry that's so dlsfkjldskf vague, but when things go microscopic and all is quiet, if that makes sense? so say, in that stuck in the elevator fic i talked about, it's when lily and james were just talking in a stuck elevator.
i kind of like those because it's quiet, and it's just the characters, and nothing matters outside of their bubble. it's just really nicely intimate so i tend to write more of those.
🛒 What are some common things you incorporate in your fics? Themes, feels, scenes, imagery, etc.
okay! so obvious one is fluff.
just fluff lmao. like most of the things i write are fluff. also some angst sometimes, but it's mostly fluff. i like soft and romantic things so it's really what i want to write about. i love writing characters being in love and writing those quiet, in love moments that they share. it's become a bit of a barrier just because when i tend to write, it always ends up fluffy when, for example, i intended the story to be dark or sexy or something. i don't know lol. but yeah lots of fluff.
also lots of em dashes, this is more of a writing thing. i know i tend to use em dashes a lot.
before i used to start my stories with dialogue a lot. because it's always what i've been comfortable with. but then one day i was writing a chapter for an original story and i paused and realised: "the past three chapters have all opened with dialogue, wtf". so not only did i change that chapter lmao but also kind of made myself mindful of how i start stories in the future.
themes of love. always love. used to be, like, romantic love, but over the years i've explored love that relates more to family. again, it's just something i want to write. not to say i can't write any other genre than love, but it has to have that element somewhere.
there was a time where i always included like, mugs or cups filled with hot liquids and the steam just curls up in the air lol. i feel like that alone sets the tone of things when i write. like always cosy, i guess, but it's kind of a versatile cosy, if that makes sense lol.
this is more of a bad habit, but i know i tend to over explain or over describe things. and i know my readers are intelligent af and can figure out things from how i implied it in my stories, but i still worry that my meaning's not coming across so i tend to over do the prose and end up with blocks upon blocks of unnecessary prose lol.
✨ Give you and your writing a compliment. Go on now. You know you deserve it. 😉
*pats back* that'll do, piggy, that'll do. :D
🍦 What's the sweetest fic you've created so far?
sweetest!? oh gosh...
okay, i have two. i don't know if it's necessarily the sweetest fic i've done, but:
balderdash is one. that's i guess the published one. i seem to have a favourite of exploring just what happens if james and lily lived beyond... or i guess, just living as a young couple about to be parents. because we never really got to see them as parents or how they even coped with being expectant parents and then becoming parents; it's always fun to explore. and, not to sound sentimental, also just give them a chance to live happily lol.
unpublished is this modern au oneshot of lily and james being stuck in an elevator and bonding that way. i had a whole backstory included in it which kind of morphed the one-shot into a multi-chap fic. me during that time just lose steam every time i come across something i have to do myself lol. sorry for being lazy. anyway! snippet of the story below.
p.s. the writing's super rough because it's been stuck in draft mode.
“You reckon we should’ve thrown them a crisp or something?” Sirius asked as he munched on a handful of Pringles. Things are getting interesting now—the couple seemed to be on their third laugh trip. The first one lasted for a good two minutes and after, they no longer played the game as their conversation restarted as though it had never paused in the first place. While everyone in the security room did, they seemed to never noticed how they never moved away or how their hands remained together.
“And risk ourselves being found out?” Harry exclaimed. “No. No way.”
“Speaking of,” Cresswell interjected and gave the troublemakers a stern glance. “What happens after this?”
“After what?” Sirius replied.
“We very well can’t keep these two in the lift forever.”
“Can’t we?”
“No.”
“Why not? The building has another operational lift, yeah?”
“Black, I swear to God—”
“Call Frank?” Harry quipped, making the adults look at him.
“Oi—good thinking, Harry! And it’s his day off too” Sirius ruffled Harry’s hair before pulling out his mobile.
“Who the hell’s Frank?” Dirk asked Harry.
Harry shrugged as he kept his eyes stuck to the monitors. “Dad and Sirius’ mate in the Yard.”
Now, the feed showed that Lily and James had finally separated; they resumed their positions of sitting against the wall. They continued to talk, though, the smiles on their faces seemed a permanent thing now. Harry couldn’t help smiling as he recognised the expression on his father’s face… the kind James always wore when he was in love—gentle, helpless, and full of love. Harry’s mother was the only receiving end of such expression until she left. To see it after all these years made Harry more certain of his decision. Lily and his dad were meant to be together—he knew it.
🍷 Do you drink and write?
alcoholic? no, i'm not that sophisticated.
coffee and tea? for sure. also unavoidable when i write in cafes, like my local starbucks, though i usually just order the iced teas there. when i decide to write i sit there for a solid 6-8 hours so i have to plan and like... drink maybe a grande size for the first three hours and then venti in the next three just so i don't fill my bladder immediately ldsjdslkjfd. tmi but yeah. but yeah all iced teas, food at the side too so i have energy lol.
❌ What's a trope you will never write?
ohhh. omg okay. okay just a disclaimer that my answer to this question isn't like a blanket "i hate these trope" but more of a "i don't feel i can do this justice".
abo - because i don't understand enough of this to do it justice. i mean, i've read it, and i understand the concept but then i fear that if i write it, it would just automatically go into furry territory. which isn't bad, of course, but yeah.
🎃 Do you write fics for certain holidays? Which is your favorite holiday inspired fic?
yes i did!
pretty sure i wrote one for halloween, which celebrated the season but also the death anniversary of jily. that one's my favourite one just because, wow, i managed to write something that reflects the cosiness of the season.
you know what, i think halloween is my most written season just because i also wrote a macblack fic for it too. not necessarily my favourite just because of how lengthy it became and i remember losing steam, as i usually do when it dawns on me that, holy shit, what i've written was longer than intended.
but yeah. gotta love that spooky season!
in saying that i would like to write something for christmas (sorry i know this isn't part of the questions but shhh shhh it's gonna be okay). and other holidays like easter??? i think ahahaha like bunnies and easter chocolates. but yeah, future plans!
👀 Tell me about an up and coming wip please!
i'm writing a blackdonald fic inspired by a new hozier song, "too sweet" (which is like the most perfect sirius black song i've heard in a while. fight me on this). look, i only have dialogue because that tends to stick with me first. the dialogue comes first and i just stitch it together with prose dlkfjdlsfjfld. but, yeah, nothing too special, it's a one-shot, uhm... sexy??? i think??? well i'll try to make it sexy, you know i've only ever written... uh... one official smut. so. you know.
anyway, here's a snippet lol:
“You just got cheated on.” “I’m also not your type.” “Fuck it.”
do with that what you will. even i don't know where it goes after this lmao.

Hi Dorian! 👋🏻👋🏻 sending you some asks from the ask game you pinned:
❌ CROSS MARK — how would your life be different if [name of person] had never been in it? would it be better or worse?
✝️ LATIN CROSS — are you a religious person? did you grow up religious? does your faith mean anything to you today?
🎶 MUSICAL NOTES — what song lyrics do you think most accurately describe you? your journey through life? who you are as a person?
Thank you 🥰
Thank you for the ask, dear Anon! 🥰 My answer is rather long and so I shall put it under the cut:
❌️ I am going to assume you mean Basil and/or Henry, so I will answer this question for them both. It is an interesting question because I am sure that my life would be incredibly, fundamentally different if either of them had not been in it. They have been most important to my life. I am sure that without Harry, I would have done much less, seen much less. Perhaps I would soon be married, or married already, some such thing. My life would be rather dull without him. Perhaps better—that is up to the eye of the bolder—as one could also consider it to be worse.
Basil is a different case entirely. He is more complicated, as to properly explain my thoughts to you, I would have to tell you my deepest secrets, which I do not intend on doing, so I will instead give you a briefer telling. Basil helped me realise my own beauty, the complications and the benefits of it, what is good in it. He helped me see myself as others see me, as something to behold. Something beautiful. Of course, Basil believes that there is more than beauty in me—I find such things irrelevant. My life might very well be better for lack of Basil, but then, perhaps I would have been lonely. Basil, much like Henry, could be good for me—I feel that it is the fusion of both of them that has had the biggest effect. If I were to miss either of them, it would make a difference to my perception of the other.
✝️ Oh, this is rather a complicated question, isn't it? I was raised to be religious, but I am now uncertain of the ideas of Catholicism. They seem to me to be entirely hypocritical, and desperate to make life boring. So yes, I would certainly say I have moved on, but there was a time I went to church rather frequently. I still believe in God but his approval means very little to me anymore.
🎶 Ah I would suppose there are quite a few! I will give you a couple:
And if I only could
I'd make a deal with God
And I'd get him to swap our places
Be runnin' up that road
Be runnin' up that hill
Be runnin' up that buildin'
- Running Up That Hill, Kate Bush
I'm a sinner, I'm a liar
Want forgiveness, but I'm tired
I'm addicted to the fire
- Curbstomp, Meg Myers
I'm a scholar and a gentleman
And I usually don't fall when I try to stand
- Don't Threaten Me With a Good Time, Panic! At The Disco
I have no desire to explain why these lyrics resonate—it is deeply personal—but I hope that they amuse you, Anon! Thank you very much for the ask 💕
