I used to be a big fan of vore, but then I somehow lost all enjoyment of it after going on estrogen. It was only after finding your art that I learned to love it again. Thanks for helping me get my kink back.

Copy that good sir. Legit, the reassurance means a lot, so thank you. In return, I have a song suggestion that may fit one of your aus, though I admit I don’t know which one. It’s called “lacy” from Olivia Rodrgio’s new album. I think it generally fits Wednesday, though it might fit a more angsty Enid.
i heard people say that it sounds gay as hell! but now that im hearing it..? it sounds all the more sad
yeah no, why does it sound so sad and pining 😭?????? going through the comments say that the pov is more jealous and i can see that too but since im also delulu, i'm ignoring that and interpreting it differently
anyways, its wednesday watching enid and ajax. I dont know why but its just the VIBES that fits in my head. Like that ending? yeouch, giving wednesday in denial and hating that she even likes enid in such a way

Dear Whumpcookie I just wanted to let you know that I LOVE your blog. When I have a bad day and nothing seem to help I come here and your blog is a great whump haven to get whumperflies, relieve stress etc. Thank you for this blog and all hard work you put into it!!. ❤️❤️❤️ P.S. And this turkish whump omg - so over the top and overacted but SO enjoyable ;) :D
Aww anonookie
You wanna know a secret? 🤫
This is why I created this blog🙃
To help the escape from the world and stress of life itself! To be the Tumblr person you and we all really wanna be 🙂
When I first came to Tumblr as a whumper I could never really find what I wanted the closest I found.. was, of course, my conspirator @99point9percentwhump with her classic whump, it took me ages to get the courage to reach out to 99point and start chatting (no doubt 99 remembers thar day 🤣)
I then hit the jackpot and found the sites makeagif and imageflip that worked on my phone so I could create gifs...
So I create gifs that I want to see, and we both do, and that's one main key to it all.
I truly appreciate that you enjoy the cookies and whumperflies and hey, you can't beat a good Turkish whump trust me there's so much more to come 🤫🥴
May your whump be brutal and your cookies warm, whumpookies 🤕🍪

Happy late four-year anniversary to my most fucking popular post, and the one that got me the most anon hate to date (from entitled vegans, of course, who think doling out panic attacks to unsuspecting strangers is peak activism).
The second edit I added is kind of embarrassing. I'd heard that information from one commenter and decided it was believable enough, plus it made me feel less anxious about the whole idea of the video and hoped it'd have the same effect for others. So yeah, everyone who called my bullshit on that had a point, actually.
Someone also pointed out that the wording/formatting of my PSA alone made them nervous, and yeah, I can totally see that. Sorry, y'all. No chill way to talk about these things.
Otherwise, glad it's been taken down. Use Ublock (YT is unenjoyable these days without, anyhow). Don't support PETA or WAP. And stay safe, everyone ✌️
!!! WARNING, EVERYONE !!!
IF YOU SEE THIS IN A YOUTUBE AD MUTE YOUR DEVICE AND SCROLL UNTIL YOU CAN’T SEE THE VIDEO SCREEN ANYMORE.
This is an ad about animal cruelty that has very loud screaming of dying animals. Also flashing, graphic pictures of said animals, like a dead chicken or a pig biting a wired fence.
It’s about thirty seconds, the screaming starts 10 seconds in and the ad isn’t skippable.
It can trigger panic attacks and cause your anxiety to skyrocket, and it’s just generally a very disturbing thing no one should see.
I’ve only seen a warning yet, haven’t stumbled across this before despite using YT a lot but for the love of God please be careful. Here is a link to that video but ONLY WATCH IT IF YOU KNOW YOU’RE NOT SENSITIVE TO THIS TYPE OF CONTENT. I’m merely giving out the link so you can report it and I wouldn’t advise any of you actually watch it.
———————————————————————————————————–
EDIT: The ad isn’t by PETA. It’s by World Animal Protection USA. Just thought I’d clarify. They’re both horrible though.
———————————————————————————————————–
Another edit just to reassure you guys: The animals you can hear in it aren’t suffering! It’s heavily edited pig squeals, pigs are noisy animals and are most likely to get loud when they’re excited or there’s food around. The audio was drastically altered to make it more traumatizing. Still wouldn’t recommend anyone listens to this.
———————————————————————————————————–
BONUS EDIT BC THINGS ARE CONSTANTLY HAPPENING: The video in the link was made private. That means WAP noticed all our negative feedback and, hopefully, will stop broadcasting the ad as well but I don’t have any info on that.
#self reblog#the amount of people being thankful in the notes was totally worth it#glad I could help

**I have never related to anything less than that list above. So I made my own. **
Ways to Feel Like a Depressed, Neuro-spicy, Sloth Woman
1. Wear your pajamas all day and don't bother showering. Only brush your teeth if you have to leave the house.
2. Read horny, terrible stories on apps that overcharge. Fantasize about a grumpy, alpha werewolf roughly claiming you as their moon mate. Try rubbing one out, but fall asleep in the middle because you were up all night on that dumb app.
3. Take care of your emotional needs by eating cookies by the fistful.
4. Stare blankly at the social media app of your choice, scrolling through endless videos you'll never watch & posts you'll never read. Repeat until you achieve enlightenment.
5. Cancel plans. Never answer the phone. Let your friends know that you're still alive by popping into your group chats to cryptically react to the last thing someone said. Like 🧛♀️. It's on them to figure out what you mean by that. You're not responding to questions this year.
6. Set small goals. Start one, realize you need to do something else to accomplish it. Then another thing. Keep ADHD-ing until you have 7 tangential projects going, and you're sobbing into a sweater you started knitting for reasons you can't remember. Feel freed by the knowledge that nothing is gonna get done and none of it matters anyway, so eat another cookie and maybe a cheese stick to celebrate your newfound apathy.
7. Hiss at discipline and accountability like an angry possum.
8. Treat your emotions like an overflowing trash container you're too depressed to empty. Stick a foot in and shove it down. Compact your unexamined feelings. How else can they properly explode when you and your loved ones least expect it if you don't overfill the bag until it breaks and everything ends up in a smelly heap on the floor?
9. Avoid math like the plague. Have panic attacks when you think about logging into your bank account. Buy something dumb on Temu. Money and math are both imaginary anyway.
10. View sports a bit like a confused puppy. Tilt your head to the side and wonder why anyone wants to be that sweaty. Once a year, act like you give a shit about your health and start using the elliptical machine and then immediately get bored and replace it with eating more cookies.
11. Fall down endless internet rabbit holes and learn about the most obscure topics you can stumble on. Make sure to babble incessantly about them to your bored coworkers, and then act morally superior when no one else knows who invented forks and why. God, why is everyone so ignorant these days?
12. Cut off people - especially men- when they aren’t worth your time. Do it with malice and a stream of profanities. Politeness is for people who aren't in their pajamas at 3pm on a Wednesday.
13. Don't say yes. Don't say no. Learn to avoid making choices altogether and ignore anyone who tries to push you to make them. Especially if the choice forces you to put on pants. No one who loves you would put you through that.
14. Dedicate one day a week to self-care. Use cheap facemasks that will inevitably break you out. Over-tweeze your already meager eyebrows and then avoid mirrors for a while. Use the Korean washcloth you got off Amazon and scrub the shit out of yourself so you can be grossed out by the dead skin you've let fester upon your person. Be very red afterward.
15. Become overly-attached to fictional characters. Join a fandom. Dissociate from reality. Write fanfic. Make it your whole personality.
16. Be unaware of the happenings in your city. Know nothing about new places unless they deliver. Be baffled by heavy traffic because you had no idea that there was a sports thingy happening. What sport? Who fucking cares? Did you know that forks were invented in China? But the first written record of tined utensils was in Greece where apparently, the use of two-tined forks were seen as vain and also, possibly demonic, as they looked like tiny pitchforks. Like whaaaaat?
17. Don't iron your clothes before or during wear (especially during). A rumpled appearance let's people know that you don't want to be where you are, and you will be leaving SOON. It's about setting expectations. Also, who irons their pajamas?
18. Never prioritize others or their needs. You're depressed and it's your right to be rumpled and solipsistic. Nothing needs to exist outside of your sadness and self-pity. Doing things for others would make you feel better and then what? You'd have to put on pants and leave the house? Gross.
19. Hydration is important. But do not--I repeat-- DO NOT make smoothies. It's a waste of time and you'll have to wash the damn smoothie blender and we both know you ain't gonna do that. Gargle water in the shower for hydration (if you can bring yourself to shower). Drink soda pop late at night so you won't sleep. Horrify the Brits and microwave some tea because it's cold in your house and you can't afford to turn the heat up (cuz 'Murica). Don't eat soup though. Soup is depressing and you're depressed enough.
20. Anxiety attacks and true crime.
Ways to Feel Like a Powerful Woman
1. Buy lingerie when you’re single.
2. Read about finance and news.
3. Take care of your physical body.
4. Meditate.
5. Stay in touch with your friends - host every now and then if you can.
6. Set small goals everyday and accomplish them.
7. Be disciplined in whatever you do.
8. Work on your emotions. It’s important to be aware of what you’re feeling, and not brush them away.
9. Be good at math. Bonus points if you can calculate discounts, sales and tips in your head.
10. Stick to one sport of any kind. It’ll create a sense of self.
11. Aim to always be educated, without your ego of knowing everything getting in the way.
12. Cut off people - especially men- when they aren’t worth your time. Do it politely, cordially and quickly.
13. Be able to say no.
14. Dedicate one day a week to beauty and care. Masks, hair removal (if you choose to), exfoliation, blackhead removal, body brushing, nails - take care of your body.
15. Enjoy things without developing an attachment to them.
16. Know the best happening places in your city/ the city you know you’re going to eventually live in/ your dream city. Events, people (even if you don’t know them personally), establishments - keep yourself up to date.
17. Iron your clothes before you wear them.
18. Never prioritise anyone over your well being.
19. Drink stuff that isn’t alcohol or soda. Water, soups, cold pressed juices, smoothies, teas.
20. Multivitamins and collagen.
#glad I could help#definitely NOT autobiographical#how dare you?#pants are tyranny#every day is pajama day if you believe in yourself#smoothies are dumb#neuro spicy#adhd like a motherfucker#angry possum#disassociating with everything I've got#depression#anxiety#doom piles

Holy shit I love your Dirk interpretations, it's so true and I could talk about this shit forever. I feel like another part of his character that people seem to forget (along with Roxy for some reason) is that he's from the future in solitude in an apocalyptic wasteland. I just see that part of his character always removed which is disappointing because I feel like that's a pretty big part, especially regarding his themes around technology, his brother's theme of Time, his own isolation, and how he plays in the vastness of the universe and spacetime.
Art I drew related to the subject because I like to respond to asks with art.
But absolutely. I certainly understand where the lack of discussion over his isolation + upbringing comes from, considering a majority of the fanbase that I have seen builds their ideas based on their own version of postcanon. I’m not entirely sure how that would be fixed, but certainly even in the somewhat recent past I would see a lot more content regarding his upbringing both literally and symbolically. I don’t have much to add regarding the things you’ve mentioned, because they just are what they are. Dirk being confined to a singular room left to him by a father figure he never met, in a future where the only other person left on the planet is someone he cannot pursue a relationship of because of himself, with purely 3 robots to keep him companion, one being an exact replica of his own brain who is *also* trapped inside a pair of glasses, is about as literal as it gets to me.
The contrast to me involving the flooded, organic world in comparison to the little speckle of Dirk’s apartment packed with the dude and his technics is not only a representation of his isolation and entrapment within himself, but also of his lack of control. I think his obsession with & themes of control are a direct product in the case of Dirk specifically *of* this kind of upbringing. His themes of technology are also related to his themes around control. So much of his character is actually revolved around this to me like so much. Dirk is so deeply disconnected from humanity in every way and so much of his character + symbolism is based around that.
It doesn’t even have to be about the symbolism or anything though. It’s just pretty *interesting* in the literal sense that he lives in the middle of the ocean in the future. There’s not only a lot to theorise on to do with his young life there, but on how it might affect him in the way he acts for the rest of his life. The latter part is probably what I see mentioned the most by people talking about Dirk regarding this, I’m surprised I don’t see more discussion on the former too though. I really ought to actually talk more about Homestuck stuff on here. I will do it myself.
Roxy & Dirk’s relationship is largely ignored though because there is a narrative a certain demographic spreads that Dirk resented and blamed Roxy for her interest in him, and thus too many people believe that their relationship was or would continue to be an abusive one. Realistically, I believe it’s important to acknowledge that the way Roxy treated Dirk regarding his homosexuality wasn’t right while still acknowledging the obvious amount of respect and admiration Dirk had for Roxy. I mean we have a huge piece of dialogue from their post trickster mode conversations on the quest beds from Dirk purely stating how he feels about Roxy that people completely ignore somehow. I think this usually happens to characters that are women though. I know everyone says it, but it is true. Jane gets the exact same treatment of boiling her down to solely her negative aspects. The things I see completely mischaracterising both of them are horrific.
I mean how much more explicit can it get that their relationship is obviously very important to Dirk? But I digress. I think the best or I should say “most interesting” interpretations of their relationship usually come from DirkRoxy shippers actually.
I would be interested to hear about Dirk’s relation to his brother’s theme of time though. I don’t have any thoughts on this and I don’t recall ever hearing anyone talk about it before. If you or anyone else would be willing to enlighten me I’d be thrilled.
#homestuck#homestuck fanart#hs fanart#dirk strider#blooby posting#ask#Sorry for taking so long to reply to you on this. I’ve been in more of a drawing than a speaking mood lately#which is very unusual for me. This is definitely not as much of a post as it could be but I’m still not back on my thought and speech game#I know the Roxy mention was in brackets but good lord the treatment Roxy gets from fanbase is insane. Couldn’t help myself#Sorry if anything is worded badly. I’m tired per usual#I think (with no malice in my heart) people just tend to leave out what they don’t like about characters though.#I was very briefly talking with Pomme johnegbertirl#and it got me thinking about how far a lot of people’s interpretations of characters stray from what would be realistic to canon#based on their own biases. Which I guess I probably do too to a certain degree.#I’m not one to judge people for their characterisations at all#I tend to be very forgiving when it comes to reads#but… I admit that is indeed a little disappointing to see how completely ignored some parts of his characters are.#Sorry for tangent that is tenuously related. It is relevant enough to shove haphazardly into tags#I’m glad you like my Dirk ramblings though. Thanks brother#We live on

THE ENTIRE DRAGON AGE AMA IS A DUMPSTER FIRE
They avoided all the high-rated questions with genuine criticism (not blind hate!) and went for questions that were safer and allowed them more leeway. After that awful IGN article and that treatment of Davrin...God, just put it down. I have no faith that BioWare will be able to continue Dragon Age or Mass Effect with the respect it deserves.
Edit - They had an opportunity for genuine discussion with fans who were concerned/unhappy with the way Veilguard was -> people unhappy with the story, the marketing, the lack of 'RP' options in an RPG, etc... Instead they just doubled-down even more, avoiding those critical questions, with no real acknowledgement that fans have very reasonable problems with this game.
Some Highlights & My Initial Ramblings Below:
The Executors
"They attempt to manipulate events in the most subtle way they can manage."
So, very clear that they're not simply observers of what is happening in Thedas: they're manipulators...
"Magical Illuminati Confirmed! Lizard People Did 9:30 Dragon!!!!"
All that complexity of character -> his hatred of Orlais, his experience as a general, his relationship with Cailain, and the influence of Howe...all diminished. Any influence from a shadow cabal is too much influence - all the humanity of Loghain's choices/consequences...God, what a waste.
Not to mention what this does to other events/characters in the series -> they imply they've been intervening as far back as the magisters breaking into the golden city. I do not find this compelling! At all!
2. Solas and the Executors
Oh my god, he sounds like such a fucking Mary-Sue I'm so sick of Solas at this point -> "Actually, I know more about the Executors than anyone alive - not even the rest of the Gods know as much as me."
("I'm also, like, an Ancient Elven God, I'm responsible for the Blight and the Veil, and I kind of locked the Gods away cause they were evil - but, like, I'm really sad about it. Also the Herald of Andraste thinks I'm cute <3")
<- Previous comments: massive oversimplification, obviously
But I miss the days when not everything was about Solas. It removes so much interest and wonder in this world when the fucking egg is behind it all. I loved him as a character in DAI and now I just feel this bone deep tiredness when I see his stupid face.
Don't you dare threaten to bring Gareth David-Lloyd back -> keep him away from this mess!
3. The Fate of the Rest of the Evanuris
Yay. I'm so looking forwards to "The Return of the Elves: Electric Boogaloo 2" - it was done so well the first time!
"It was the elves all along!"
The only character with any potential to be interesting is Andruil*, but how they handled all this lore was done so shallowly and so poorly that I find it hard to give a damn anymore. Not to mention that the game literally mentions Ghilan'nain mourning Andruil - so is this a retcon/redirection/or have you confirmed that one of the most interesting members of the Evanuris' is dead?
*interesting in that she's established in lore to potentially have a tonne of really cool things attached to her (the void armour, the great weapon she has etc...). The rest of the evanuris are nowhere near as well established as she is.
4. Southern Thedas, Sociopolitical Issues, and Future Games
NOW YOU WANT TO INCORPORATE GEO-POLITCAL EXPLORATION?? You avoided any meaningful discussion like the plague in DATV but now you're acknowledging it?? OkaY. okAy.
They couldn't even give us the long-term ramifications of the mage/templar war how the hell am I supposed to believe that they will be able to pull off 'elven gods are real' etc...? For a game series that totes : your choices matter -> they have not proven that they have been able to show that in a meaningful way. They literally cleaned the slate with this game to avoid doing that.
So, what, does that mean that the Veil is never going to come down now? Or are you going to have the entirety of Thedas build themselves up again just to have the Veil fall and send things into chaos once more?
What a fatalistic, miserable outcome for Thedas -> why the fuck would anyone bother to live in Thedas if you're going to keep throwing meteorites at them? By all means, change/conflict has to happen for the series to move forwards...but this is just so miserable at this point.
(The Elder Scrolls, at least, gives people room to breathe between crisis' or sets them up in different areas of the world! Bethesda treats past installments/your decisions with greater respect than DATV does.)
Even, then, if the Veil remains up, that means that the spirits are just trapped in the Fade being miserable for the rest of existence. The entire series has been humanizing spirits, from Justice to Cole, and now they're just throwing in the towel? I guess they can stay in the fade now! Problem solved!
What do you mean the Evanuris are not a threat anymore? IN A PREVIOUS QUESTION YOU LITERALLY SAID SOME ARE STILL POTENTIALLY KICKING AROUND THE BLACK CITY?
Weakened, sure, but Solas was 'weak' in DAI. You're giving yourself an out if you decide to go back to the elves again. Please do, I'd love more content on how the elves alone fuck everything up!
5. More Southern Thedas, the Chantry, and Tevinter
Thanks for the confirmation that things in the South are so fucked up that they have to work alongside the 'Slave Capital' of the known world to rebuild!
Slavery was one of the biggest things that caused a rift between the north/south chantry system -> one of the reasons why there were exalted marches -> a uniting belief in the south is that slavery is fucked. They didn't address slavery in DATV - what hopes are there that they will do so effectively in a future game?
Don't tell me that Dorian fixes everything off screen either -> either he solves slavery off-screen or the south is being forced to work the slaver-capitol because their land is nuked and they have no ground to stand on.
I'm so thrilled.
6. Solas and the Idol / The Blight
I will never get over Solas fucking curing the Blight off-screen and no one asking questions/giving a shit. Hello?? The Hero of Ferelden would like a word with you???
So the Blight is calcified in Minrathous, at least, but everywhere further away is still fucked! Once more, the South is doomed to suffer from the long-term effects that regular blights have -> not to mention the red lyrium (which still exists according to the AMA) across the south.
I don't care; it's lame. It's a lame way to conclude the blight and I hate it. This game did not earn 'cure the blight from thedas' at all. You could have had us learn how to soothe a titan and see how that can diminish the blight but you did it this way.
Another 'magical ritual' because Solas has such a good track record with them lmao.
7. The Agents of Fen'Harel / The War with the Qun / The Crows
Turned him against the idea of being a leader???!!
Fen'harel's Call to the Elven People After the events at the Winter Palace, elves left the Inquisition under mysterious circumstances, as did elven servants across Thedas. None could say where they went, but those who believed the Inquisitor's story about Fen'Harel wondered just how large the Dread Wolf's forces were... and what the ancient elven rebel had planned. This is from the Trespasser Epilogue, Epler!
Your concept art for Joplin literally had him as a leader of a faction of elves. Just be honest that it's a retcon and you changed course - don't try to save face with this reasoning.
About the Antaam: "We needed some big mindless bad guys to fight and so we did this because we didn't want to address the Qunari War/Invasion we set up in Trespasser".
You had to canonize Sten as being alive and Arishok in order for this reasoning to work -> you didn't even come up with an alternative Arishok to take Sten's place.
Yeah, the exchange that set up the Crows we see in the game as "idealists" did not make the game. I can confirm that!
I'm sorry, "Caterina kept Illario in check?" as in, 'kept him an idealist and not the usual Crow'? The woman that beat him with a cane and starved him and his cousin to train them as Crows. Fuck off.
lmao -> tell me you're coming up with this on the spot without telling me that you're coming up with this on the spot.
8. World State Discrepancies - Isabela
Outright ignores the very real criticism about the marketing from this game and World States.
"there are absolutely places where we unintentionally suggested there was a hard canon (...that Isabela is always assumed to have joined Hawke's party.)"
Unintentional?
Excuse me, you have her talk about Merrill and the Kirkwall Crew as family - that was not unintentional in the slightest. Not to mention Sten, Blackwall, Sera, and Cole are canonized as being part of your world state no matter what.
You had a story you wanted to tell - one that only fit a few world states - and you went ahead with it and disregarded those choices. Don't try and lie about this all being a big misunderstanding.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Edit - They could have taken the opportunity to address the very reasonable criticisms that people had with this game but they cherry-picked questions and avoided/minimized anything remotely critical.
They could have provided us some insight into the game development time but each time they approached the topic they settled for "we're happy with what we delivered and it was well optimized."
They had an opportunity to acknowledge that people were bothered by the handling of the lore/stories (to potentially mention they could course-correct/ rethink their plans) but instead they doubled down on everything that they did and even 'justified' some decisions. They doubled down on the Executors, Solas's changing motivations, the destruction of Southern Thedas, and the elves/Solas being at the heart of everything etc...
This AMA basically confirmed that the only reason they did what they did to the south was for a reset -> It's not a compelling or fulfilling narrative to have everything we've done reset back to ground zero off-screen. BioWare games differentiate themselves from other RPG's by their import system from previous games - it was compelling and exciting! With DATV they set the expectation that BioWare can outright throw out entire games worth of choices/build up, not solely retcon them.
Justifying your choice to water down the lore/world of your story by saying you'll address it in the 'next game' does not instill me with confidence, BioWare! It doesn't explain that lack of it in this game either!
They avoided every question that, rightfully so, pointed out the misleading comments made by devs in the pre-order period of the game:
the fact that there were only 3 imported choices from previous games was leaked by a reviewer -> BioWare was vague from the start about choices
that this game was the most 'romantic' in the series
that world states/ headcanons wouldn't be disrespected
that there are 'lore' reasons for bad darkspawn design
that there are lasting, impactful choices/consequences to be made in this game
that the lore/world was not watered or toned down
that companions are deep and you can disagree with them etc...
BioWare's behavior towards their customers in the lead up period to this games release was downright scummy. I absolutely felt misled after playing the game for myself and recalling what I read in interviews put out. While EA is undoubtedly poison, you can't hold them solely accountable for this.
I feel for the individual developers who worked on this in what was undoubtedly a toxic environment from EA - but I feel that it's pretty clear that BioWare itself has a lot of problems within and in their leadership/executives. Working for EA does not give them an excuse to mislead their customers.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I already had a very grim outlook on the franchise from the end of DATV but this literally look my interest out the back and sent it to God. What a disaster.
#what a dumpster fire#I thought it would be bad but not this bad#that IGN interview was awful too - how did anyone think it would help their public perception???#the lore and story has absolutely been ruined by the game#epler i will never forgive you for your godawful take on davrin - absolutely gross#does bioware's pr office hate them? is this some internal fuckery?? lmao#I'll have to edit my lore post because this makes everything worse than what I thought it was#its just such a grim way to end the series - with everything blighted and ruined#obviously don't attack devs! I'm not wishing for them to be harassed or anything - bioware as a studio is not in a good place imo#if you like it then I'm glad but this series is going in a direction that has absolutely no appeal to me :/#this game feels like it punishes me for caring about the world they created#edit - my bafflement has died down and I can add some more critical thoughts about what they could have taken this AMA opportunity to do#I've loved this series for around 12-13 years now and its just sad that its ending this way for me :(#datv spoilers#datv critical#dragon age the veilguard#bioware critical#veilguard critical
