I've consistently seen people argue that Varric is trying to impose his view of normal onto Cole by making him 'more human'; and how this is immoral. But I so rarely see how the opposite is also true. When Solas tries to quell Coles anger and reminds Cole to be more of a spirit, Solas is doing so because he regrets becoming physical himself. He also wants Cole to confirm to his idea of normal, and his idea of 'whats right' based on his own personal experiences.

Neither Varric or Solas in this scene is 'correct', neither are 'right'. They are both trying to impose a norm onto Cole that they see as best. They are both using their own cultural and personal ideas of what is normal and right to try and guide Cole. The reason this decision is juicy and fucked up is that tension.

love how some ships are like 'they're practially canon. all they have to do is say the words' vs ships that are like 'this needs 100K of setup and 17 elaborate plot contrivances just to get them to a point where they aren't trying to kill each other on sight long enough to have a conversation'

They’re so dramatic. Wolfwood posing, Vash shooting a bazooka at him. I love it when an old married couple fights.

Who needs powered up guardians of nature when. Frogs.

STRAIGHT SOBBING there goes the gaia guardian theory /j

I'm fine that it wasn't canon, it's fun to speculate and y'all got to ride this high with me. there was a very high possibility they wouldn't have used the guardian of gaia anyways because they were heavily under equipped to fight a boss w/ 160 hearts per player (so a total of 480 hearts). also that mf hits like a damn truck. this was also their first quest outside of the main quest given by jaffa hq so it needed to be on easy mode

mainly confused why rythian mentioned- HOLD ON A DAMN SECOND, looks through transcript again, "I’ve been told the Black Lotus is guarded by the strongest warriors in the land." I JUST REALISED WHO TOLD RYTHIAN THIS

originally I assumed it was jaffa hq, but no, it has to be zoeya. it has to!!! she's always exaggerated the reasons for a grand adventure, this is definitely one of them /aff. unless rythian was being a troll and taking a page out of zoeya's book to fuck over lalna for fun. but he sounded so genuine, especially when he expressed his gratitude!!! though consider, what if they were both in on it teehee

ALSO THOSE FROGS ARE SO CUTE. was looking at their mod page for any possible hidden bits, but no. frogs :)

I usually don't make comments about events/projects made by the streaming community, but I can't help myself to make a special recognition to Quackity.

I've known him for a few months due to some funny clips from his Spanish streams that they upload in different social media and, as a first impression, I thought he was a really charismatic and humble young man.

Some time later, I was really surprised to found out he was involved in the DSMP, which I didn't really know what it is about since I'm not from the Anglosphere, however I was aware it was a really popular Minecraft series (at least really trendy here).

Personally, what I think is really admirable from him, besides the fact he creates content for both his English and Spanish audience, is that he became a bridge between English youtubers (mostly his friends from DSMP) and Spanish/Latino streamers, which is really a huge thing taking into account that Spanish streamers and Latino streamers don't get together often, or at least in all the years I've been part of the audience of both communities.

What Quackity is doing with his new project is really innovative and very important in the aspect of establishing an instance where all this amazing content creators from different communities can get together and produce even greater content, regardless of the barrier of language. Taking as an example the Squid Craft Games 2, we caught a glance of wholesome and funny interactions between streamers that don't share the same language, but show the same interest they have for eachother. Unfortunately, we didn't get to explore more of these interactions because of the game's dynamic (yes, they all died in the game except for the winner sapnap), but the QSMP will be a space to explore these new friendships.

I hope Quackity receives lots of support from his audience and the audiences from other streamers/youtubers. It's really refreshing to see my fellow Spanish/Latino community get invested in english speaking youtubers, even thought most of us struggle a bit with understanding the language but there are really nice account that helps with translating most of the stream or key moments from it, which we are willing to do too. That's another thing, just as it's an opportunity for the streamers, it is as well for their audience :]

If you made it this far, thank you so much for reading!<3 (and excuse my english,I'm a bit rusty with my writing)

[queenhawke]

hot take maybe but it's quite ironic that troy has a whole episode about his desire to be seen as an adult and yet the fandom constantly infantalises him

hiiii :3 I noticed ur one (of a few) ppl who ships boniji on tumblr, and I wanna know if you know any accounts/artists who ships them so I could follow them to satiate my boniji fixation >.< Also, some bocchi x nijika questions I wanna personally ask: what songs do you recommend that reminds you of them? Also, what are some boniji fanfics you recommend/like? I probably already read most of their fics but I wanna know what others like. Lastly, ur personal boniji headcanons if you don't mind sharing... 👉👈

I only ask blogs rarely cuz I'm shy so no need to answer immediately...

I'm just brainrotting over boniji so much! im so normal about them (◔‿◔)

AWAWAWA i love boniji like so much like too much like its become my main personality trait!

but youre right!!! it feels like boniji fans are mostly japan natives and there dont seem to be many english speaking boniji fans! ohhh i wish there was more of a following! imagine a boniji zine in the west! i would pay money to get involved with that

im kind of embarrassed about shoving my ships in ppls faces all the time and this might get long and its just me like rambling about my OTP so like .. gona put it under a read more lol. seriously this post is like almost 2k words long thats longer than my average fanfic chapter

i hate to be a shill but im going to be a shill for my fic recommendations:

ive been working on a lowkey corny boniji hanahaki fic on AO3 and some other oneshots, so maybe you would be willing to check my own stuff out?? (if u want .-. im really amateur with this stuff despite being an art student lol) its been on hiatus for like half a year but im just adhd af and keep restarting. im still working on it frequently tho and im secretly hoping to start updating on a consistent basis soon. but i also liked fics like "Midnight and Daydreams" and "Bubblegum Detergent" and "A Sellout Night" and "Just Enough to be Enough" and "A Kiss is Not A Cure". MANNN i remember that last one fucked me up bad when it was posted. it was only the second ever dedicated boniji fic and like I LOVE angst but with how small the sample size of fics was at the time it was like AUFHAUIJKADGF. all those fics are super super good though! i also love the third one, i love the trans bocchi HC personally

umm as far songs songs tho, i guess the ones i associate with boniji most are:

"veil" by keina suda, i remember drafting some animatic for an angsty AU of Hitori living on post-Kessoku

"STEP&CLAP" by yoshino aoyama (aka yoppi aka bocchis VA <3), i think yoppi making the song speaks for itself but its a rly cute song and i love thinking of Hitori and Nijika like tap dancing to it?? check out the rest of yoppi's debut album too!! her voice is so pretty and i was so happy finding out that there are 11 songs with her voice, instead of the 1 from the anime

idk why but i also think of them a lot when listening to PMMM's ost by yuki kaijuri, like "desiderium" and "not yet" and "mada dame yo"? these r kinda a stretch though but idk!!

i also like compiling music that reminds me of them into spotify playlists, if youd like some inspiration for your own! this one and also this angstier one

i have a lot of boniji headcanons but i feel like its hard for me to like list them all in one spot because they usually come to me with context during relevant conversations?? but ill list whatever i can think of!:

this ones not necessarily boniji but i was thinking about it like an hour ago, but i really like the idea of Seika being a huge boniji supporter. like in the source material she already finds Bocchi really cute, so I get the impression she would really like to be an older sister figure for Bocchi (and probably gets jealous of Kikuri for holding that spot in Bocchi's life lol), and so Nijika being a potential love interest for Bocchi would make Seika double down hard on supporting boniji. she'd probably be the one who brings Bocchi up to Nijika more than Nijika would bring her up to Seika?? i also like to imagine that for Seika she has a similar complex to Yoyoko. but instead of "Bocchi is stealing my spot as Hiroi's younger sister figure," it would be "Kikuri is stealing my spot as Bocchi's older sister figure" LOL . if that makes any sense at all

this ones actually taken from a japanese twitter user, but they moved on from boniji after the anime ended. but they had some headcanons that REALLY stuck with me. my favorite was the idea that Bocchi and Nijika both have inferiority complexes with one another. iirc their (translated) words were along the lines of "Bocchi thinks of Nijika as a pure, comforting light in her life, one that could be muddied if Bocchi got involved with her. On the other hand, Nijika thinks of Bocchi as a reliable hero who outshines an ordinary girl like her." i just REALLY like it. it also reminds me of this conversation that Yoppi and Suzushiro had on the BTR podcast, about Bocchi and Nijika's first meeting! like nijika literally brought light into Bocchi's life awdsfsgdhgfjh

actually that same user above also made a tweet that is the reason why i associate Keina Suda's "veil" with boniji! they made a tweet about an AU idea, where, in the event that Nijika would ever pass away, Seika would give Bocchi her ribbon, which Hitori would wear from that point onwards as she continues to play music to honor Nijika's memory. they also suggested that in the opposite event of Hitori passing away, Nijika would possibly do something very rash out of despair but thats dark hahaha!!!!

i kinda think this goes without saying and i think its actually a fairly common HC for BTR characters in general, but I can definitely see Bocchi being trans

I like to imagine that shortly after Volume 2, Bocchi and Nijika would probably have another conversation

eventually, i'm sure if Bocchi and Nijika pursued a relationship that they'd eventually move in together (or like into the same room? if Kessoku Band had a sharehouse?), and since both Bocchi and Nijika tend to be minimalistic with their room decor, their shared room would again become filled with a ton of Ryo's clothes and items and instruments, like how Nijika's room at Seika's apartment is

i think they'd both end up being really touchy with each other, especially when nervous? Bocchi kind of already does this when she's in new places (eg bringing Kita to Shimokitazawa, or going to FOLT for the first time and being dragged by Nijika), but I think it would grow to them finding comfort with each other?

idk if this is necessarily a HC but i really like how Bocchi and Nijika emotionally support each other, even in source. Nijika is shown to have a really good read on Bocchi (to the point of Bocchi worrying that Nijika is actually a psychic), knowing Bocchi's common thought processes, and picking up from Bocchi's mother during her first visit to Kanazawa that karaage chicken can bring Bocchi out of her anxiety attacks, and seems to be the only character who actually comments on Bocchi's growth as an individual and actively tries to facilitate it; but she also doesn't lovebomb Bocchi with praise, striking what seems to be a good balance for pushing Bocchi but also being a reliable confidant for her too.

one of my favorite details from the anime that i really feel doesnt get talked about as often as it should is when Nijika finally notices that Bocchi is guitarhero! she definitely wasn't the first to notice (Seika noticed first, but it seemed like Seika only knew about guitarhero via Nijika. When she notices that Bocchi's playing sounds familiar, her thought process immediately goes towards wondering why Nijika isn't noticing, and then she just tells them to get back to work) but she was the first one that Bocchi admits it too. but my favorite part is how Bocchi says that she wanted to change and grow as a person before telling them the truth, and she says that she especially wanted to grow before Nijika in particular found out! its just really cute, i love how Bocchi was worried about disappointing Nijika. and i like how, after some growth, Bocchi's dream turns from "becoming popular" to "making Kessoku Band the best band it can be" which is like almost basically the same as Nijika's dream! and so it's really nice when Bocchi doubles down on that goal by not remotely entertaining the idea of leaving Kessoku Band, even when goaded by promises of popularity.

last headcanon! because i ran out of thoughts and just came up with this on the spot. but i also like the idea that as the years go on, Bocchi and Nijika in particular may kind of become more similar in personality. i mean, they'd definitely still be distinctly them, but i like to think that Bocchi would eventually start picking up more optimistic habits and stop grimacing all the time, while Nijika would eventually become a little more lax and not reflexively try to dismiss her own negative feelings via looking at the silver lining. i thought of that when Nijika kinda dismisses her family dynamics with her mother's passing and her father's neglect after Kessoku's first real performance, as well as Nijika seeming to admit after inhaling Bocchi Dust(?) during her and Kita's Kanazawa visit that some of her optimism is performative

ok another one Nijika seems to have her art skills commented on sometimes so i like to imagine she has doodles of Bocchi in her sketchbook (alongside everyone else but mostly Bocchi). like think of like Miles Morales drawing a ton of Gwen Stacy like that kinda deal but with Nijika drawing Bocchi. and like Bocchi finds the sketchbook and Nijika freaks out and Bocchi actually doesnt look bc she doesnt want to do something wrong. but then Ryo or Kita take it and look instead and then show Bocchi and Bocchi melts into a flustered puddle

wowwow this got long! sorry! i really mean it when im like OBSESSED with these two like i think ive thought about them on a daily basis ever since the episode aired where Nijika bought Bocchi a cola. isnt that cute, too!? she picked up on Bocchi's favorite soda so quickly! and her buying a box of energy drinks for Bocchi despite not understanding why at all! girlfriend behavior

i really really want to make more boniji content, i'd like to be more active in posting my fics and drabbles and drawings, someday soon. right now most of my boniji content is just illegible sketches in my sketchbook lol

also thank u so much for like sending this ask im like BEGGING internally all the time to be given the chance to talk about them! i dont think theyre like a rarepair or anything, especially with them seeming to be like the second most popular BTR ship in japan, but i do think that not many people talk to them in the english side of the fandom! theyre super super cute and have really good chemistry.

this entire post is probably like a total carwreck i hope its even readable

ill also use this post as an excuse to post my own HCs for a Kessoku Band's relations chart. it's a bonus for reading this far. i'm sorry for draining 22 HP from you with this brain dump
