Ectoplasm and Jason Todd

Danny is wandering around Gotham (visiting, chasing a ghost, running from GIW, attending college, etc) and stumbles across Jason.

Jason who is flaring his ecto-signature like a madman (is he trying to get into trouble?).

Danny drags the guy into a nearby alley to give the guy some kind of crash-course on how not to do that.

Jason isn't sure why this guy grabbed him and dragged him into an alley, but if it's a fight he wants, Jason would be able to fight more freely in an alley, so he doesn't struggle. (Does he know that Jason is Red Hood? Does he think that Jason is a random civilian? Is it just him, or does this guy have really cold hands?)

Jason isn't sure why this guy is now trying to... ask him to meditate? The fuck is going on? But if it's not a fight, then... maybe it's fine to just listen to the weirdo? Taking a few deep breaths isn't going to hurt him.

Danny is very proud of himself for guiding the ecto-flaring guy through how to not flare his ecto-signature. He's such a good teacher.

And then Jason collapses.

Turns out, Jason has been using his anger to create a feedback-loop that artificially raises his ectoplasm-levels.

Ghosts need ectoplasm to live, but they'll also produce ectoplasm when feeling strong emotions. For most ghosts, this a bit like saying "everyone needs a good cry every now and then". For Jason, he's been basically aiming a gun at his own face for the adrenaline-rush. Constantly.

So, Danny is now holding onto a barely-conscious person who desperately needs more ectoplasm. As in, this is a medical emergency, and every second probably counts.

Danny, being that he wasn't planning on needing to carry around some kind of ectoplasm-container at all times (who the fuck does that? His parents, that's who), is now desperately trying to problem-solve this.

Danny realizes that, actually, even in his human form? Danny has a lot of ectoplasm in his body. Enough that he could probably save this guy by... feeding him his blood.

Cue intimately sexy reverse-vampire scene.

And oh boy, if Danny's blood doesn't taste fantastic to Jason's ecto-starved self.

alright single digit days so it’s time for last-minute baseless + unfounded veilguard theories!!!!!!! I’ll go first: the reason spite can’t take over lucanis’ body is because that body is ALREADY being possessed by lucanis, who was in fact dead and buried in the wake and rebound to a new form in the ossuary

[notebooks-and-laptops]

Well. Eventually something from Dragon Age The Veilguards release stuff was gonna bum me out so at least it's happened now and I can move on

Gale.

Gale, you should reconsider your standarts

11. What are your boys' fears?

[Elland's — death/serious injury to his loved ones; William's — being in pain/sick.

Elland's comes from how protective he is: making his family happy is a self-imposed goal of his, a reason to live. It doesn't mean he wouldn't let Cyrus make mistakes or that he will babysit William. But he is much rather be the one getting hurt instead.

William's is easier: poor lad is just horrified of physical pain. He has poor health as it is, got sick often as a child. Not to mention his legs injury that left him bedridden for a while (even with magic and potions, it was partially in his head, being in pain and depressed cause he couldn't compete, fearing he'd be in pain for the rest of his life — psychosomatic stuff.) He is fine now, none of that, it's been years, he is a sunshine and does not get stuck in the bad places for long. But he can't compete anymore because after a rigorous exercise his knees started aching again when Will tried getting back into it, and Will switched into Quidditch. Climbing stairs is not easy, and he cannot allow himself to run. But walking is fine.

He just hopes he'll never go through anything like that again. No pain, thank you! He had enough of that to last him a lifetime.]

I was thinking that my only fear for datv is that the inquisitor goes through the same butchering that Hawke did in dai but then I remembered that the inquisitor is the most boring protagonist ever and that it would be hard to do something that would annoy me

[requiemforthestars]

Another thing about the DA devs being so anti-blood magic because they've bought into their own made up religion a little too hard.

Both in DA:I and in DA:V (DAV SPOILERS DON'T LOOK) we were/will be able to sympathize with Solas to an extent, like no, we cannot burn the world with him but what we've been shown of the game tells that, like in DA:I players are able to have a different relationship with him.

You know, with the guy whose plans will have the side effect of genociding a good chunk of the world's population. That guy.

Is that not morally grey? So why is blood magic any less morally grey, no matter how you can use it? Burning people alive is a certified Bad Thing, so is murder. Yet I don't see the devs taking away fire magic or making it so that you do not kill any enemy (because this is a game!)

Wynne being like "actually fucking the hot elf isn't behavior befitting of a warden" meanwhile elf sex is like. The least dangerous thing in the grand scheme of warden behavior

[pocketramblr]

Who knows what Gerudo culture or fashion would have evolved into by 'Rule's time but it's nice to think about him getting to experience a bit more of it in another universe... Before BLYGanon sours it for him... Also been thinking about that Great Fairy of the desert...

replaying da2 after bg3 is really just like. go kill this irredeemable villain (character that could perfectly be just durge). this magic is mega evil someone who can do this must be killed (spells thay my goody-two-shoes paladin did in bg3 constantly)

[pausegame]

I forgot just how sweet and ride or die the Inquisitor and Dorian's friendship is 😭😭😭

Fuchsia

[wolfsong-the-bloody-beast]

I thought she was going to kiss her, and instead it seems she took her (and not in a fight)... in front of all her companions, including her crush. Wasted no time making them leave. I mean, sure, there's a difference between the gameplay and the storytelling sometimes, but this was funny.

You know, I don't write fanfics, but if I did, I'd work with that, and it'd be the most self-indulgent, awful smut you've ever seen, about Godwoken reluctantly accepting the deal, lacking better options, and them and their darling having to deal with it. Kinda like the Red Prince situation - perhaps awkward, but angstier, sexier, and with a happier conclusion.

i wish they gave you better dialogue options with that blood mage in the tower why do i always have to act like i care abt blood magic
