honestly I absolutely love the Avvar in Jaws of Hakkon. How they worship the gods, how they view the world around them, how accepting they are and just how interesting they are too. I absolutely despise how the Inquisitor and Companions make commentary as if they're stupid or wrong in their beliefs, or that they're "just crazy people who worship spirits".

The dialogue you don't choose or even the ones you do are on the line of condescending, and it's frankly insulting, especially that all options on the dialogue wheel fall on that line.

the Avvar are so fucking cool, I hate we only get a DLC with them. (I also miss the Chasind - I wish they weren't forgotten or left in the dirt by BioWare :( )

The Hermitcraft Season 10 ‘Pirate’ AU - the notes of a madman

The premise is an expansion from this post now with more ppl innit.

The S10 island is full of criminals (charged with things done in different seasons timelines) and it’s the Time Police’s responsibility to set things right… but unfortunately this is also Grian and Demise is just a game to get ppl to do the work for him.

There are things like witches and Magic, but lately there has also been a rise of the Machine and the steam punk era with the introduction of the autocrafter.

Oh right, and aliens. From the future.

Do you KNOW how hard I am restraining myself from writing seventeen different iterations of Emmrich knocking Rook up. Rook knows that the number one way to get pinned to the nearest surface whenever they feel like it is to say the words 'I'm ovulating' and watch Emmrich's eyes go three shades darker. Emmrich's all, "Oh darling your pleasure is my pleasure" until Rook says put a baby in me and suddenly Emmrich's going to die if he doesn't get it in within the next six seconds I'm DERANGED

I still wish Vivienne's quest was about her position as Celene's court enchanter....I already know that Ice Queens having feelings too

It's like if Morrigan's quest had nothing to do with escaping the long shadow and brutal expectations of her mother but a hunt for ingredients for soup, delicious antidote soup for Flemeth, Warden I need you to gather these deadly ingredients but aha — a surprise twist — tis for soup

Halloween Dancers

I had an idea, I'll probably write it properly later but for now I'm getting it out of my head. I was reading a post a out Dash being a talkshow host and leading to them outing Amity and this came to mind.

A cousin of a citizen of Amity heard all about all the crazy stuff going down, they keep them updated in their weekly phone calls, but thought they were making it up. Eventually divolves into an argument and they decide to look to prove them wrong. And find the internet oddly sanitised, which makes them look deeper. Eventually they get others involved wondering tf is going on over in Illinois. They manage to break through but mess up, instead boosting the signal so much that the halloween livestreams take over a large chunk of American media. T.v. s, computers, phones, etc all playing the phantom streams, where someone sees phantom just chilling and starts streaming. this time it's Samhain and the place is eerie. Blue tinged fog covers the place, it's dark out, no living person in sight and the camera pointed to the sky. In the sky you see glowing figures dancing to music coming from nowhere. An ageless youth in regal clothes spinning his partner, white hair drifing like he's underwater, his partner dressed like the pharohs of old spinning alongside him. A woman dressed in victorian ballgowns joining their dance. Other etheral beings coming out of the woodwork, spinning in the sky alongside their king. The dead dancing in the starlit sky as the veil becomes thin enough they can all come through with no major issues. And this haunting scene taking over every screen within the signals range. As the hours go by the sun begins to rise and the fog fades. they bow and begin to fade back into the realms, leaving the original three waltzing in the sunrise as the stars fade before leaving themselves and the stream cuts off.

Turns out their cousin wasn't lying, wierd stuff is going on in Amity, and no one, including the JL, knew about it. Someones head was going to rule for the lack of info. This stunk of a coverup.

On Veils and Thickness.

trying to write third person limited pov that slowly expands to include another character in the limited pov as their senses of self intertwine and they begin to share an awareness + feeling crazy about it

Low-key hilarious when the Veilguard is discussing who they can tell about the “spirits -> elves” thing, and they decide to tell Strife and Irelin.

My friends. His name is Strife. There’s a nonzero chance he already knows.

the fact that Veilguard's base of operations is located in the Fade must be totally great and fine and interact super well with those Fade-related migraines Lucanis gets

election day witch kit.

Save for tomorrow or take part now.

Open to all, not just Americans. Non-Americans encouraged to participate for reasons selfish (American politics affect their own / tired of hearing American Tumbletowners whining) or altruistic (we really need your positive vibes, we are begging you.)

Will it work? Who cares. It can't hurt. And as they say in the magics, "Do as thou wilt and it harm no one."

GATHER:

A quiet moment alone

Hope

This post

HOW TO:

Set this gif where you can see it.

Take 3 deep breaths and with each breath breathe out your negativity. This moment is not for hating Trump. This moment is for clear thought and bright hope. Just breathe the negatives out for this moment and look into the flame.

Imagine it as a doorway to a brighter future--for you, for people you love, for those that are under threat of life and happiness. Do not focus on an election win. Focus on that brighter future--even if we have to struggle through another 4-year quagmire--focus on that goal whenever it may come.

Take a few minutes and really list in your mind what that future looks like. The joy it would give you for yourself and others to walk into that happy futre. Really feel that. Once you know where the love and safety lies and what it looks like, close your eyes and pour all of your hope into it.

Say three times, "I ask for help. I ask for peace. I ask for safety." If you have any prayer or requests, add them as long as they are positive thoughts. Negativity will only block what you are trying to put into the world.

Visualize the candle staying in your mind or heart. When you have anxiety about this election, visit that quiet doorway again. Breathe out your negativity. See that bright future on the other side. Focus on that goal. Ask respectfully for help. For peace. For safety."

It does not hurt to try, and if it does anything at all, it can only be of help to yourself and others. <3

Veilguard Verse Tags, timeline, and headcanons

timeline: - rather than list what we're all familiar with, some basic points:

Expanded interactions: In addition to dreams, Solas can talk to Rook and those who are sensitive to spirits ala Emmrich and Lucanis/Spite in places where the Veil is thin, and can talk to anyone at a Fen'harel altar; they're like walkie-talkies.

Rooks start at very low approval, for obvious reasons. Their relationship is adversarial. They are, to him, a jailer, "an irritant", a "child", and a tool. They took away his freedom when they trapped him in jail, took away his control and his goal, and unleashed his worst enemies. It doesn't matter how kind, snarky, or aggressive a Rook is: he will never go above neutral approval. While Solas is caged, Rook is always an enemy.

Solas is a textbook trickster god in datv, far more than he is 'the god of lies.' He bargains, he cheats, he uses people. It's in his lore and it's in every mythological story that has a trickster irl.

tag:

VEILGUARD | : The events of the game. Solas is trapped in the regret prison, but not before he uses blood magic to bind with Rook. He advises the team up until they kill Ghilan'nain, when he's finally able to pull a switcheroo and break free. He fights Elgar'nan's forces in Minrathous, and tries to trick Rook into killing Elgar'nan and bringing down the Veil. To the extent it’s relevant, I will use a default Lavellan/world state, but it will have no effect on whatever ending you choose.

important headcanons:

General

I'm convinced "You've earned the Dread Wolf's respect" is a Fourth Wall trick.

Solas knows Rook's real name, but he almost exclusively refers to them as Rook (in italics, and derogatory).

Full rundown of the expanded Veilguard verse

Solas can communicate with Rook more frequently than in the game

Anyone can talk to him at a Fen'harel altar

Solas loves his People and is motivated by them - including modern elves
