Hit a point where I'm going through the Cullen Critical tag on tumblr cause I really like Cullen, but in a fucked up way and I hate that the writers overlooked some of the more egregious things this guy did (or, more accurately did *not* do) while serving in Kirkwall

Mostly i think im mad that the writers fucked up the chance to take a guy who spent a long time turning a blind eye to and justifying a fucked up system of abuse, and actually have him held accountable for it

Instead of him just. Feeling kind of bad about it but not actually addressing it in a real way?

I mean, dont get me started on how Inquisition fumbled pretty much everything that happened in DA2 (the fact that there's no option for Hawke, Varric, or even the Inquisitor to agree with what Anders did? You can either condemn it or like... waffle around it?), but like. Cullen was actively looking the other way when Mages were getting whipped in the streets, SA'd and fucking lobotomised

The templars turned Kirkwall into a police state by the end of it, and all the writers have him saying is like "man, i feel bad :("

Cant believe im saying this, but Blackwall actually does have a better redemption arc than Cullen

I just

There is gold. Right there

They had a fucked up guy and completely squandered the opportunity to have him SO fucked up about the shit he's done

They still could've had their poor little meow meow of a commander! Just make him so much more fucked up about his mistakes man!

But we already know bioware is full of cowards so im pretty much talking to the wind here

I think it makes sense that wally was an asshole when he was alive. at first I didn't really like the choice, but sitting with it and thinking it over has started to convince me. because it was the 80's and homophobia was stupidly normalized, and I also think wally has always been the type of person to mold himself to what others expect of him. he did it with his mom, and I like to think that maybe he did the same with his friends. not even realizing he was doing it, because he wanted them to like him and because they made it seem normal.

he wasn't a very good person around his friends when he was alive, and it took him dying and living in limbo for decades to acquire new friends. people who actually called him out on his bullshit, people who made it easy for wally to change his very small worldview into something different.

he was an asshole and it's really important that he admitted it.

it's so important that he apologized because he knew what he did was wrong and he wants to be different and he loves charley so much, wally never wants him to feel unsafe or upset around him.

so like, sure. wally was a dickhead when he was alive because it was easy, because his friends were dickheads, but now he has better friends and he has a better outlook and he needs to let go of his high school nostalgia. it's not doing him any favors.

A new sculpture! Finally... I feel like I never sculpt anymore since I'm always sick or have some 500 other things going on or projects to finish, but I'm trying to schedule time to do it more often this year hopefully..! Just a generic fantasy creature as usual, but did try making the eyes a little more sparkly this time.. hrmm..

ill be honest ive seen a lot of people criticize the romances in veilguard but i havent seen anywhere near as much criticism for the sex scenes which is baffling bc theyre just?? so bad???? i like some of them in a vacuum as individual scenes but the fact that they all take place at the same time because bioware Had to have a mandatory sex scene for every romance at the exact same point is so ass (not to mention that the timing is literally RIGHT after the unavoidable death of either harding or davrin like okay??? literally could not think of worse timing). like some of them just dont fit at all, bellaras is literally a confession scene that results in immediate sex (feels ooc for her but they dont even show anything that could lead to sex before the fade to black, so whats even the point?? again it just feels like they had a quota they were trying to stick to rather than making choices that fit the characters), and davrins just straight up does not work because by that point the climax of the relationship has already passed (and if youre going to put a sex scene during the climax of the story, then yes, it SHOULD serve as a climax for the relationship, pun not intended).

why do i love the conflict more than anything else . the misery . the incompatibility that spreads like oil slick . wanting so desperately for resolution that never comes . hmmm

just read the new mutants issue where Charles chose to stay behind in space and my god the juxtaposition between Charles trusting Erik and Erik joining the hellfire club and wondering at his own trust worthiness. I wonder how much of Charles decision was him ultimately trying to avoid the fact that his first class had seemingly betrayed mutant kind and not be willing to face them and how much of it was Dani and Illyana's reaction to him having Karma mind control Illyana. the fact that Illyana was depending on him to ease her mind through limbo and in choosing to stay he forced karma to do it instead, probably fucking up their relationship in the process.

I love him, this is crazy, how much of this is him trying to runaway and how much is this him not trusting himself to fix things and how much is it just him trusting Erik?

i keep trying to put into words my exact thoughts about the sitch but there really is a lot for one issue aintit... oh charles you and your brain...

you know, i always find it really funny when dudebros complain about syndicate and odyssey being too "jokey" or not "taking its characters seriously" or whatever…

like, did y'all collectively sleep through "it's-a me, mario!", "i meant besides vaginas", ezio inventing the latte, bartolomeo's... just... *gestures vaguely* entire character, etc?

like, it's fine to have preferences of course, i myself prefer a more serious and grounded tone, but these are usually the same people who tout the ezio trilogy as "peak assassin's creed", call ac1 a glorified tech demo and hate on connor for being "too serious and boring", like? make it make sense!
