What will win:

my desire to write DA fics

my seething hatred for medieval stereotypes (“haha they thought bathing was bad!!” “haha their streets were filthy and they threw wastewater out of their windows”)

#chia rambles #dragon age #do I wanna write my DA2 MGIT fic??? yes.#do I wanna write a medieval setting where this stuff is actually real??? no.#like ok Ferelden I understand it’ll smell bad what with the dogs and the mud and all #but like even then #people in medieval times had noses???? they were people??? they enjoyed being clean???#especially true pre-industrialization #but technically it’s canon in Thedas and I HATE IT SO MUCH #THEYRE A MEDIEVAL SETTING #AND YOU WANT ME TO BELIEVE THEY DONT HAVE COMMUNAL BATHHOUSES???#insane #kirkwall I can accept bc it’s a shithole #but the rest of the world?????#no #and even then would the magisters settling down accept a place w/o running water? if they’re inspired by the Romans #mmmmmm don’t think so #I mean THE SEWERS EXIST #WHY WOULD THEY HAVE SEWERS AND NOT COMMON BATHHOUSES #it’s canon that Dorian bathes so Tevinter DOES have higher standards of hygiene #but also that pisses me off so much because again MEDIEVAL PEOPLE DID BATHE #(clenching my teeth) then MGIT was like I’m gonna take a bath! and DA character No.43 gasped and went you silly girl!! its once a week!!#FUCK OFF #worldbuilding #da2
