scrolling through the bmc tag and only seeing stuff about Jeremy and Michael. That's what I get for liking the side characters

i know g4g is so dead but i still to this day believe there was something there that was scrapped/purposefully not going to be touched. bo/ok of bi/ll seems like The Place to where something like that would be revealed/hinted at, obviously i know it's not but if it were real and had a shot at being revealed in some way it would be in there. i need to get it in general but i know there's going to be a little nostril in my head sniffing for a delusional crumb

The choices you have for Divine in Inquisition are so funny like

You can choose to back the crazy visionary, the mad sister from Lothering who dreamed the Maker sent her on a quest, veteran of the fifth blight, veteran of the Grand Game, Left Hand, Nightingale, spymaster to the Inquisition, who potentially dissolves the Circles of Magi and returns the Canticle of Shartan to the Chant, taking a stand against centuries of discriminatory bullshit on two fronts simultaneously and, depending on how you interacted with her as Inquisitor, defends this revolutionary approach by subtly killing people who try to disrupt her program OR by simply being so obviously divinely inspired that people just kinda roll over and do what she wants.

You can alternately choose to back the woman whose meteoric rise to power and significance is legendary even before she takes a chance on the Inquisitor (and let's be real clear who's betting on whom at that point), who uses every scrap of influence she can extract from every situation, every chance, to carve out a space for herself at court, turning the position of court enchanter into one of real power and putting herself at the head of the last loyal mages in thedas, and potentially sits on the sunburst throne as the first mage to ever do so, upsetting centuries of tradition in which mages weren't even allowed to take vows in the Chantry, taking that space she carved for herself and throwing open the doors that had so long been closed to people like her.

And Cassandra's here too I guess

this is a long video but it popped up on my feed and i thought it was quite interesting, (she shares some videos in the description too i want to link directly: a shorter video/tiktok summarizing the topic, and another tiktok stitched in response that digs in a little deeper) and is kinda relevant with some of the things i've been talking about with DA, though this discussion is specific to monster romance + "cozy" fantasy and how a lot of these stories use d&d or tolkien as the foundation of their worldbuilding with little thought and without understanding the harmful, racist stereotypes it perpetuates..... and of course these are just prevalent tropes across the fantasy genre as a whole, whether inspired by d&d and tolkien or otherwise (as we've seen in DA). i really like the quote from the substack article she links by Michael LaBron, i feel like it makes it very obvious how these depictions are directly connected: "In the same way that Orcs create a boogy man that justify the hero's violence, sexy Orcs create a monster that the damsel in distress doesn’t actually have to be afraid of."

the other article i shared previously really expanded the first half of that quote with the "civilization versus savages" binary that we see with a lot of fantasy races (orcs, goblins, drow, and qunari in dragon age) but i think this half of the discussion is important to have as well so i just wanted to share. here is the article by Michael LaBron:

and here is this article again too that i shared when talking about dragon age earlier, by Daniel Heath Justice:

i love fantasy, it's my favorite genre, it's what i personally write for myself, and i think learning about and discussing the flaws within the genre are an important and integral part of enjoying it, too, which is why i've been discussing it so much with veilguard, and i wanted to share more examples as this discussion has become relevant in a lot of spaces right now outside of just gaming/RPGs/TTRPGs.

the first chapter of lover boy is really intense on an emotional level because So Many Things happen in quick succession it's like beau barely gets a chance to breathe and process it. meanwhile RR opening chapter is just felix and dorothy arguing in a laundromat.

>Wants to finish drawing a YoyoxAnna fanart I did last year

>But also doesn't want to post it as I had bad history with the SK fandom and don't want to attract anyone from the eng fandom

>Wants to post a funny meme regarding the SK sequels

>But also doesn't want to post it because once again have a bad history with the fandom

Sigh

Just a curiosity! Why do you reply to the asks mostly via tags?

Nothing wrong with it of course I just found it curious!

if i post a response that's more than two lines long i'll feel like an eighteen wheeler in a bike lane does that make sense
