i'm ngl i have not been able to stop thinking abt how dai-onward they're like "dragon age is about mythical heightened fantasy actually" and im like. well i wish it WASNT.

like, at least in my opinion, dao and da2 feel focused on everyday people who gotta live in a fantasy world, and all this political maneuvering and such that gets in the way of killing a big dragon or an evil wizard or whatever. which to me, is fun and compelling and what i want in fantasy. it makes it easier for me to get invested in characters. and then dai wants to tell me about the mythic elven empire run by a huge group of evil wizards and im bored. isn't dragon age supposed to be abt things that happened in the dragon age. this is also prob why its so hard for me to give a fuck abt solas' plan because im like i want to talk about the practical, realistic consequences and he's like. well i want elves to be magic and immortal. and im like not only would that make dragon age a very boring series for me, but also i think blowing up the world to restore an ancient empire. is bad.

Is it unfair for me to think Americans are being overdramatic? It’s not like taliban took over. USA is still a free and democratic country.

I think people have the right to be upset when the political party that doesn’t believe trans people have the right to live is now in control of all branches of the federal government

i really think there should be more physically disabled PCs and main characters in popular dnd campaigns like dimension 20 etc and fantasy settings in general. not just for representation but truly bc it’s so fun and interesting from a storytelling point of view?? like there’s so much potential for creativity and inspired choices - tell me someone fighting with their crutches or having magical mobility aids wouldn’t be incredible to explore. (thoughts actually inspired by how well these things are done in witch hat atelier and also me and my friend joking i’d have lower hp bc of disabilities).

i feel like so often you get characters and it’s like “oh they have a mechanical arm” or “they were in a traumatic accident as a child” and it’s like, ok and their relationship to their body, pain etc is supposedly not shaped by that at all?! come on.

and of course it opens up a whole other dimension of - what does ableism look like in that world, if it exists? what is a “healthy” body under racial capitalism and/or conditions of oppression? has the world “solved” certain issues but overlooked a whole bunch or made things worse for some people? disability and body politics offer so much richness and complexity, especially alongside race, gender, etc.

i do wonder why fandom is so insistent on proving that "gale could eventually change his mind" when it comes to fatherhood.

if children are something you ideally want in your romance - that is completely valid and luckily for you, there are several romance options in the game that can provide just that. wyll, lae'zel, and halsin. even shadowheart briefly mentions that children might be a possibility for her in the future. 4 options total that either already have entire adoption subplots or are open to the idea.

meanwhile, fandom is bending over backwards, bringing up aspects of gale's arc that are completely irrelevant to the topic at hand and claiming that any statement coming from gale or any boundary he sets should forever be questioned because... "he has been known to have inferiority issues"?!

gale is a character who is very likely in his 40s. he isn't some 20-something college boy who is still trying to figure everything out. i personally never felt like there was any point in the context of gale's relationship with tav where he was unsure about his desires. quite the contrary.

gale is also very vocal about what he wants. not wasting any time in proposing to tav after the big bad had been defeated. i am pretty sure there would have been instances where gale expressed his desire to have children (whether that may mean immediate or somewhere down the line) if larian had intended to include this aspect in his romance as well.

...but instead all we have to go on when it comes to the subject of children in general are lines like these:

player: gale... how would you feel about having another person in our relationship?

gale: what, like a child? i'm not quite sure i'd consider myself father material, plus our current lifestyle isn't exactly what i'd call settled...

tara: this is why mrs. dekarios and i will be waiting an eternity more for grandchildren.

gale: psst! shoo, tara.

nodecontext: shooing away tara like one would a naughty cat.

gale, upon spotting oliver during their game of hide and seek: ah, i have you! just a shame i don't want you.

"#are they sleeping in separate rooms still or is phils closet just in another room for no reason" I mean if they both have a lot of clothes it kinda makes sense to use a closet in another room rather than trying to cram it all into one no? My own personal theory is the green room is "Phil's room" as in the room where he keeps his clothes and maybe other stuff but it's not necessarily his bedroom

but it’s the fact they they designed the house that makes me so curious!! i can understand if they just moved into a house that they’d just put things where they can fit, but having built and designed a home, IF they’re sharing a room why not have both closets in the same room? bc based off the pictures we’ve seen from this bedroom, the shelves by the desk has trinkets from the both of them

it just seems like such a hassle to design a whole house to let yourself be doomed to go to a whole other bedroom just to get changed

it’s just so interesting and they’re never gonna tell us and that drives me a little insane i fear
