save the dates...

Our 2025 event schedule is here!

I'm still brainstorming next October's discord events, but this will give you an idea of what the year will look like.

I posted this on reddit and already have two people convinced to try the Neve romance - so lets see if I can boost those numbers. The cult of Neve worship must grow.

I will preface this with: I'm a lesbian who is really into the 'appears cold on the outside, but is soft on the inside' archetype (Aveline, Cassandra, Miranda and Cora in Mass Effect) and finally I get to romance that with Neve. So I went a little feral. Neve is a woman who at her core is a kind person who wants to save everyone, but reality has shown her she can't and she's beaten down by that. She's cynical, thinks about the future rather than living in the moment. She flirts with absolutely everyone easily, but when it's more serious with Rook, she freaks the hell out. She struggles to say she loves you because she's terrified of losing you. And her flirts at the start are actual flirts (and she flirts back) as opposed to a lot of the flirt dialogue imo. As for Grey Wardens (as long as you save Minrathous - otherwise you miss out on some cutscenes and flirts), she talks about the stories her uncle told her, and a Grey Warden Rook can flirt about being a hero. She also gets the second most romance content imo (after Emmrich) from what I've seen - with characters (including Rana the Templar) bantering about it, combat romance dialogue, and she gives you a cute nickname that she'll refer to you as in combat and banters. She also (not romance related) worries about Solas' blood magic on you once that's discovered and it merges well with the romance. In my biased opinion, she works perfectly with an optimistic heroic Grey Warden Rook - you break down her defences, and help her live for today. And it's so romantic imo.

happy sdv update day ❄️❄️

can we just listen to Disabled people when they say what accommodations they need??? Like it really isn’t that hard to just take someone’s word on what is best for their own body! Whether it’s more or less or different than what you deem they need it really isn’t your place to say!!!

Sometimes, people need more than they show! Especially if they’re used to being in pain all the time, then they won’t always display that discomfort.

Sometimes the accommodations someone needs are different than what you assume. A friend who struggles with noise sensitivity may ask for you to turn on a different type of music, instead of turning it down, and if that is what they express they need you don’t have to say “oh no I can just turn it down!” and ignore them saying that that isn’t necessary because your idea of noise sensitivity is different than their own experiences and needs.

And sometimes people need less than you try to provide! Or simply don’t want that accommodation at the time! And here’s the crazy part: this applies even if what they say to do could hurt them. Obviously this isn’t a rule for every situation*, but for some it absolutely is. If your friend wants to tag along for, say, a hike, and they have joint pain it isn’t your place to add in “oh no but they can’t do [the hike]! They’ll be in pain! We have to do something else to accommodate them!” If that person expressed a desire to go, especially if offered other options prior that wouldn’t hurt them, let them live. Let them do the thing that puts them in pain, because Disabled people don’t always want to be shoved into a little box of safety. Absolutely sometimes they do, and some might always want to, but if they don’t, then let them make their own choices for their body. Just as anyone else does. You go out and get drunk, even if it gives you a hangover. You go skating even if you’re shit at it and scratch up your knees a bunch. Just because someone is Disabled doesn’t mean that they can’t do the same thing and do that fun thing that hurts them.

I don’t know if I’m displaying my point how I want, so here’s my own example: I am allergic to the cold. Anything below 60 degrees (f) I get hives. Any water cooler than a fucking warm shower I get hives. My joints don’t do great when it’s cold out. This does not mean that when I say I want to go swimming, you can say “oh but you can’t you’ll get hives!” Or “no you can’t do that you’ll be in pain!” Because. I know that. I know that. I know my Disability better than anyone else can, and I can ask for accommodations I need. I am not a child to be wrapped in bubble wrap so I don’t get hurt. My body is my body and I can do with it what I want, and face the consequences. Likewise, just because I said I wanted to go swimming doesn’t mean that when I don’t want to go out and muck around in the snow it is anyone’s right to say “oh but you wanted to swim earlier, so obviously it isn’t that bad for you!” Or “oh it’s fine it’s not that cold! Just wear a sweater!” Because at that time I need and want different accommodations and that should be listened to and considered accordingly, as far as it can be in that situation.

Seriously. Just listen to us. We are in our own bodies. We know ourselves. It really isn’t that hard

*a situation where this point would be null is, for example, a situation where the person has been peer pressured into doing something, or one where you know the person well and know that the endurance of pain is a self-harming behavior

This was all the way back from the end of 2.3.

Hey Sparkle what the fuck.

[appleciderjulie]

this is how agatha sleeps when it’s very cold. she has a bed, 2 fleece blankets, 1 heavier woven blanket, and a low-powered pet heating pad. and her pjs, of course. i tuck her in like this so she has the option to bury her nose in the blue blanket if she wants, which tonight she decided to do. her jammies are very cute but she also just gets cold as hell lmao

update: partially emerged to sniff the cat and has stayed that way

[walmartbrandwhatever]

And what if I say two-bit and marcia are jack Kelly and katherine plumber when they sing their cut love song "Then I see you again" what then???

[electricpurrs]

tex red vs blue is insanely transgender but im the only one who sees it that way because im crazy in the head.

what if there was a past version of yourself. a woman, a wife, a mother, with long hair and a sweet smile. and she died long ago. and you are her. but you are not her. you're nothing like her, but the people who knew her desperately want you to be her, want to preserve the memory they have in their minds of the woman they loved through you. but you never asked to be her, never asked to carry the burden of someone else's expectation of who or what you should be. you have a new name. you prefer to go by this one. people remark on how weird it is that it's a guy's name. sometimes the people who loved [the past version of] you call you by your old name. they are not referring to you when they say it. you live in the shadows of someone who's long gone, and you're something different now, but you don't feel like you're ever allowed to define yourself on your own terms, to be your own person, to control your own life, because you exist solely through the memories people had of you. and the longer she has been gone for, the more desperately people try to get her back, the less you resemble her and the less you know who you are, or if you ever even got to be anything at all. what i mean is that transition could have saved him

oh dear. this one bit where Jack abruptly drops his smile when Carol leaves has me thinking angsty thoughts 😭💔 the implication at the end of the movie that Jack learned to close himself off to warmth because he was told it was impossible. the idea that he consciously did everything he could to preserve that cold: chasing fame and adoration as the most significant winter figure in Santa Claus, and not understanding how Scott could have it all. how could he be the centre of the winter holidays yet also be surrounded by love, while Jack was just left to freeze, forgotten? i'm extrapolating a backstory out of very little here, but Jack being an attention-seeking manipulator who wants praise and validation yet is unable to drop his frosty skin for even a moment of real connection is ruining me. he's exactly that: this shiny, icy shell of a man, constantly smiling and performing and doing everything he can to get people to like him...even when it rings hollow. he pursues Carol and Sylvia without real want; he asks anyone and everyone to be his elves without a need for such a position, and he gets everything he thinks he wants...but still isn't satisfied 💔 whatever circumstances which caused Jack to become Frost in the first place go hand-in-hand with his emotional damage. damage which we've seen can canonically be healed when he's shown even the smallest amount of affection. ...so what i'm really saying is, those of you who want to date Jack Frost, yes. you really could fix him. 😉
