Do you ever have characters where you're like...I totally love this character...but the fandom loves them too and they have a group of vehement supporters so you don't feel the need to discuss them at all? And you root for these marginalized characters that somehow get loads of hate and you become more fond of them because somehow so few others are?

Orym is giving very "I have fallen in love again and that feels like a betrayal to my dead husband" energy.
He's also giving "I care so much about my friends and I have to protect them but the love I have for one is so strong that it's distracting me AND it's not fair to the others"
Like there is so much love contained in the Orym and also so much guilt.

If Dorian ever writes a love ballad about Orym, it will be over for me

There's something weirdly...disingenuous in all the posts questioning why Orym might want to talk to Dorian specifically and not the others. Like, this post is really good and covers the non-romantic reasons why this makes sense, and I agree with it entirely! Also though, it's not like Liam hasn't pretty consistently made it clear that Orym has feelings for Dorian. You do not need to like this (I think it's abundantly clear that I think you can openly dislike a ship) but you do look kinda dumb if you're like "why would he want to specifically speak to someone he's known longer than anyone but Fearne, who's slightly removed from the current tragedy, and whom he has repeatedly messaged whenever he's feeling upset?"

They sanitized being queer so much in Veilguard and for what. Your Inquisitor still needs to be binary, and god forbid if they transitioned between games. And for what, Cullen and Solas? Girl, dump him and take his gender. It won't fix you but it'll make shit funnier.
IF more than one romance actually mattered id understand it being too complicated to allow for transition, but seriously? only solas gets more than a codex entry afaik, how hard it would have been to have the m inquisitors record voice lines and have gareth david lloyd record alternate versions of like..any gendered lines which i assume there aren't many of. they should have dropped the illusion that romances had content and just done a 'did you romance solas?' toggle that any inquisitor could turn on lol

Something something the idea of a character all about death and the dead and the fragments of previously living beings spirits. A character who finds passion and care and respect for the end of life and the small bits that remain after life has finished. Someone who finds humanity in someone needing to find their rest and going out of their way to help them get there regardless of gaining nothing. Meanwhile, the antagonist of the game essencially has many of his actions driven by the guilt and regret of in some ways creating death and dying. Because what could be more terrible than nothingness. And how could it ever be forgiven that he created the end of an existence that was supposed to be endless?

I‘m currently rereading the ToG series by listening to it as an audiobook and right now I’m on CoM and I have a confession to make : I don’t trust anyone who did not kinda ship chaol and celaena (at least in the beginning). Their relationship and development together in the first two books is just everything. And he was the first person to feel like home to her!! And Chaol who built his life around friendship, loyalty and a very specific set of morals and beliefs is questioning all of that because of Celaena!! Like you don’t even have to ship them to admit that their relationship is so well written and tragic. They just make me feel some kinda way.
Also I now understand why in the original story Dorian and Celaena did end up together. Since even now there is some kind of foreshadowing for that, a connection between them and them ending up together would just have been the perfect full circle moment. Like ToG and CoM are so underrated as books, when they are so important and you get to see how everything gets put into motion. The character development for our main trio in these two books alone is mind blowing. Also the importance of Nehemia!!! I just can’t.

daewen has gone from getting cassandra's low approval cutscene to a begrudging form of respect forming between the two 🥺

Rewatching Absolution and hope cast crops up in future games 🥲 I would love Qwydion to be a companion eventually 🥺 also the plot is interesting and ends on a cliffhanger so I hope it has some sort of follow-up in Veilguard 👀

Has anyone ever asked you what your favorite books are? I am always so curious what you read because I love what you write :)
okay a) tysm!!!!! and b) i dont know if ive been asked before but i can give a list of my favourites for you!!
my number 1 flips between the picture of dorian gray and stephen king's the stand. dorian gray shaped who i am as a human being and i 100% would not be who i am today had i not read that book as a teen, but the stand is objectively The Book of my life and i don't think anything will ever usurp it. it is the most perfect deep dive into humanity and the ways in which goodness can and will prevail over everything so long as we don't lose sight of what is important: OTHER HUMANS!!!! it is So incredibly moving and not really (imo) horror in the overtly gore-horror way.
other favourites (just based on my bookshelf to my side):
middlemarch, for obvious reasons. a little life (i am a little life defender tho i know it's a very controversial one!). john halifax, gentleman by dinah mulock craik (one of the best classics i have EVER read - imo a queer-coded book about lifelong friendship!!!!!). we are the ants (heavy and fucked me up for a while). private peaceful (incredible childrens/early teens book about ww1). the song of achilles (duh).
also other stephen king favourites (because he's a league of his own lol):
11/22/63 (a book we all should read), IT, the green mile, the long walk!!!!

“​I don’t think it’s silly at all,” he smiled, delighted to know that she had enjoyed the show (even if it was simply the orchestra) as much as he had, as well as admiring her desire to see what he and the rest of the audience saw during a performance. “It’s wonderful to watch-I-I would enjoy watching an opera with you, were we ever afforded that chance.”
What with her being the leading lady now (and would hopefully be the leading lady in many, many productions to come; he had a feeling her future as the opera’s star was within reach), the opportunity for both Randall and Emily to sit down and watch a show together seemed not quite in the cards at the moment (not unless Emily could be in two places at once), but he still liked to imagine that, someday, she would be afforded that chance. Under what circumstances he did not know, but it was a day he liked to think was possible.
And what a day that would be! The two of them, seated in Box Five together, watching and enjoying the show in their own private box in their evening best...perhaps he would see about getting them some fancy chocolates to enjoy during the show, or something to drink (he wasn’t a fan of any of the alcohols available in the café; he’d tasted a few out of curiosity and decided very quickly that they were not for him, instead favoring sparkling, non-alcoholic ciders and the like instead)…she would have the best seat in the house, and he would have the best company...
(He wished most of all, however, that Emily could see what he saw on opening night, when she made her grand debut: He wished he could see how magical she would be onstage, how she would wow the audience with her beautiful voice and emotional performance...she could see how amazing she really, truly was, how gifted she was as a performer!)
“What opera would you most like to see?” Randall asked her curiously, brows raising in interest behind the mask.
#((you make a great point; and i agree! i don't think that randall would be nearly as enamored as he is here))#((were he to have a normal; more stable upbringing; but i also feel like he'd still be very keen on music))#((enough to want to pursue a career in it-i see wilhelm as being fairly musical himself; as he plays the harpsichord))#((and so it just gets me thinking about that fondness for music rubbing off on randall and inspiring him! it might not be the same passion))#((as he has here in this 'verse but i feel like; in a kinder world; he'd still love music; enough to seek out the opera))#((and meet emily as a result!))#((as for his face...i'm not sure! obviously june and wilhelm would work hard to make randall feel confident in himself))#((and not let anyone get him down because of how he looks; but i could see him wearing something when out in public))#((maybe some sort of prosthetics a'la that one-shot we did; where he devised a makeup/prosthetics to wear))#((so that he could go out with emily and the twins? i'm just spitballin' but maybe that'd be his workaround!))#((and true; it is kinda funny! but honestly emily will ALWAYS bring out the pace's parental sides; regardless of how old she is))#((or what she is! vampire? yup! siren? yup!))#((...actually now i'm thinking about little emily meeting little randall at gracey manor when june was working there))#((and june feeling just as maternal towards her as she does towards dorian!))#((don't know if that's an au we would ever do but it just popped into my head and i just imagine little randall being smitten))#((with little emily; just the way little dorian is smitten with little elizabeth!))#outofhatboxes#beatingheart-bride#V:Phantasm of the Mansion

What's your favorite bird 👀
This is a difficult question… my favourite living birds are the Hooded Pitohui and Luzon Bleeding Heart. Actually, some scientist by the name of Alderson began breeding them here only a year or so ago!
But you asked about my favourite bird and I think the answer to that is the Dodo. Yes, I’m aware that they’re extinct— hyperaware, even. They were such kind birds! Kind birds who loved their flock members, and all they got for it was ridicule! When they got caught in traps they cried out, and their flock members came running to help— and the hunters thought that made them stupid! But they weren’t, they just wanted to help!
