deciding to headcanon that the lighthouse makes people feel Calm and Docile and Relaxed to excuse the fact that more of the companions aren't as mad as lucanis that ANY of this is happening

#I CAN FEEL THE HATERISM IN MY BONES STARTING TO STIR LIKE LYRIUM #for the record. i think the game is fun. and i think it's the most gorgeous game ever made #bar none.#but like................................................................... . . .... ....#ALMOST ALL OF THE WARDENS ARE DEAD. ALMOST ALL OF THEM.#AND ALSO DID IT EVEN MATTER BECAUSE THE BLIGHT WAS JUST #THE GODS FUCKING AROUND AGAIN #i'll be real the least interesting thing abt dragon age has always been the magic to me #i like MAGES. but i think the sociopolitical landscape of thedas + the worldbuilding outside of magic #is the most interesting part for me #i think my biggest problem is that it feels like a dragon age game writing wise #like w companions and quests and banter #but it doesn't feel like the dragon age world #idk. i'm having fun but yeah i think a lot of the general criticisms are weighing on me which #i did not think would happen (tho i've also been in a months long depressive spiral and genuinely have not #enjoyed basically anything and nothing feels real and everything feels like a bad dream so like whatever)#the biggest thing abt dragon age for me has always been like #it has been such a creative inspiration for me in so many avenues and in so many different eras of my life #i've been writing DA fic since i was 17. i started getting mutuals around 18.#that's 6 years!!!!! i've been writing fic!!!#i play like 3 hours of origins or inquisition and wanna go write a bunch of fics #but all my fic ideas so far are about like. Well what if the game never happened and my OCs #met their ROs somewhere else in some way else #which to me ISN'T a good sign.#part of da's staying power to me is how much it inspires me. i don't feel inspired right now #i'm struggling to keep up in some ways with veilguard and also feel like it's struggling to catch up #to itself and the weight of it's own choices #anyway. starting to feel disappointed but like i said months long depression #so i'm repressing it like crazy and might never actually feel or breach that emotion #in any depth. but whatever.
