was browsing through the carolina hurricanes tag and realized canesblr is so dead omg 😭

[exhausted-archivist]

Concepts that I didn’t want to think about but my brain won’t shut off:

1) Cullen should have been a companion vs advisor. The man likes to be active and do things. He’s not a papers guy. Plus while popular most people (statistically) do not know his whole story so he is really easy to explore for both new and old players.

2) We could explore his trauma from dao-da2 while also seeing him work on his recovery - his story would continue to NOT be about redemption, but about working on his sobriety and de-radicalization.

3) By having Cullen as a companion and exploring his story, it would have really brought forward the previously established nuance of the Templars. It would have put the humanization of the Templars front and center - the stuff that’s been buried in codices and ambient dialogue and banter for the past two games. One of those “shouldn’t be the cheese is under the sauce” topics to be honest.

4) Blackwall would have been better suited for the Commander role. He’s led troops before, he “has” wings of valor. As a grey warden it would have still fit his role as remaining non-political because the Wardens are still Andrastian and most of Thedas doesn’t count that as a reason to bar people. Would further push the “Chantry is overstepping their bounds” while also pushing the claim that the Inquisition is NOT Chantry affiliated. Would have made the reveal much juicier.

5) If you did swap Cassandra with Cullen, Cassandra would still pop up in the field. It is weird for a commander to not travel where they’re needed for the army. Plus Cassandra likes to physically handle problems. She’d help establish new keeps, strengthen the Inquisition’s hold else where, investigate the missing seekers, ect. It would also stop the conflict of her only having Templar abilities which as a Seeker she shouldn’t have the same abilities. Similar but different.

6) Even if Cullen stayed as commander we should have seen him in the field more. He is a strategist, a leader, and used to being hands on. Plus he’s too afraid of not having control because he’s never been in control so he’d be traveling just to make sure he was giving his all to the Inquisition like he did the Chantry but also not being like Meredith.

AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

Anyway

Hope Castor can help Lunar.

Or atleast point him in the right direction.

I think Lunar is finally facing himself really.

And I understand wanting him out of the house but like- why are they surprised he ran away?

Thats like what Lunar does? He ran for months after he died, him running away is par for the course. And he was gone for three days because he was in jail? They didn't even accept that, they just got mad at him for running. As if Monty hadn't actually decided he was gonna kill Lulu.

Like Lunar would probably be dead if he'd stayed, or atleast injured.

'We do still love you and youre still our little brother'

-They say as they irepibly damage any and all trust Lunar had in them at the moment and in the future.

Moon I understand you want him to actually face consequences but there's no going back from this!

Lunar will never trust you, or anyone else in this family, again.

Castor pleasepleaseplease be the one who finds him.

Ohhh how I want to see more Pollux and Castor interactions bc as I said in another ask that idk if you received Cas almost seems to be avoiding talking to her specifically about Lulu.

That or Lunar gets kidnapped again.

More specifically by the creator so gem (or even just Cas) have to save him

But with Gemini separate there's also the possibility rez or someone else targets one of the twins while the other is away so thatd be neat.

ALL OF THIS NODNODNOD!!!!!!

I think Castor choosing to help Lunar while Pollux doesn't would be really interesting from a Gemini perspective. They're the twins, they make up one astral, one constellation together. If they truly become divided over this, I would be deeply fascinated to see where it goes from there since we got so used to seeing them as Gemini—a collective entity—rather than themselves.

And YEAH LIKE. Listen. I know that to the family, because they don't actually have the full picture, it looks like Lunar is just a loose canon that attacked Earth in a fit and then dipped. But also LUNAR TRIED TO EXPLAIN THAT THEY WERE IN LITERALLY INCAPABLE OF RETURNING SOONER BC THEY WERE JAILED AND THEN REZ PUT THEM ON THE OTHER SIDE OF THE GLOBE. AND MOON JUST WENT "I DON'T CARE." LIKE CMON 😭 "why were you gone for 3 days" "i was jailed and then left in russia" "whatever i dont care" MOON WHEN I GET YOU.......

THE "I LOVE YOUS" BETWEEN IT ALL YEAH.

I'm sorry but no amount of "you are family and we love you" is going to lessen the blow of "you have basically been squatting in my house (that i invited you into and you've been paying rent for) and you're a danger to this entire family so I want you to never speak or get near any of us until you sort yourself out." ESPECIALLY WHEN MOON SAID "YOU'RE LUCKY I EVEN STILL CONSIDER YOU FAMILY" LIKE I'M SORRY BUT THAT'S WILD. Again, I understand Moon in this situation. That does not mean I don't think he wasn't insanely rude LMAO 😭

Exactly like you said, Moon cannot undo this. Lunar has always looked up to old Moon and so I cannot imagine how much more it hurts coming from him. I honestly can't imagine a clear future where Lunar is going to feel safe amongst their own family again, knowing that they all viewed them as dangerous enough to be kicked out. Honestly, I'm half expecting this to end up as "Lunar lives independently and then realizes they actually feel better not living around their family and that they were kinda awful for them on accident" HDKSHDJS

YEA MORE CASTOR N POLLUX INTERACTIONS WOULD BE GREAT...... Yesyes I have received ur other ask and I'm actually gunna answer it after this one but GHOD yeah. Seeing them disagree abt smth is so interesting and I need more of it....... If one twin is hurt tho,,,,,,, ouhg. The Angst........

[monstermoviedean]

ughhh i hate this smm

[thebusylilbee]

wild how according to polls between 67% and 70% of french people don't identify with a specific religion, with half of those calling themselves atheists and half of those calling themselves non-religious/agnostic, and YET you still got catholic c*nts trying to claim this country is a christian country as if its history should somehow have an impact on its current existence which is as insane as saying "France was a big monarchy so France is fundamentally monarchist" even tho we famously killed our silly little monarchs to end that bullshit

[zoriety]

It surprises me that people are still saying "my opinion is that the pale king loved his children and regretted what he did" because surely that's the entire point! THAT'S the idea instilled! The final secret of the king is hidden after the path of pain, the most difficult to access place in the palace, because it is the single most important and most shameful to him! And that secret final memory is epitomised with a glance between the father and child; it's the love of one's offspring, it's expectation, it's the desire to do what the father wishes - it's a connection! And it is this, in the eyes of the king, that tarnished the vessel, and sealed hallownest's fate. It is considered a memory of such deep, harrowing shame because it was the king's own connection with his child that ensured it was not a pure vessel, and thus would always fail to contain the radiance, and thus it is entirely on the king's head that hallownest fell to ruin.

I also sometimes see 'so why did the pale king die' when I think thematically, it does not matter what specifically caused the death of the king, simply that having failed so utterly, he sealed himself away and wasted away purposefully alone in this throne room, having committed such atrocity on his offspring and still having failed to save the kingdom he created; that's sort of the point of the tragedy of the idea instilled. everything fell apart not despite his best attempts, but because of them... the death of the pale king is without doubt meant to thematically be a suicide after a tragedy of his own design

Thinking about....... Sun Onceler.........

coming out of my break just to say i blame @1-800-iluvhockey for my new found love for inhaler ‼️😭

[viperwhispered]

Not a question but let me tell you:

It doesn't matter if someone mixed Jafar and Jamil already, you can still do it yourself as well! After all, the idea might be on the internet already but it hasn't been done by *you* :)

I fully support it

(In reference to my tags on this post)

Well, since I’ve been enabled, enjoy y’all (I'm so sorry):

Jafar-style:

Which - not the worst? I mean would look better if I actually knew what I was doing but.

I found this art of Jafar by MarioOscarGabriele on DeviantArt which very conveniently helped me line up Jafar’s facial hair with Jamil’s face.

And of course I also had to attempt a big bushy beard, and well, the sultan is right there:

...yeah that definitely just looks like a costume beard

I ran out of patience when trying to freehand things but this pencil mustache actually doesn't look as bad as I thought?

Alas, I couldn't find any sort of a braided dwarf beard that I could've slapped on his face, otherwise I totally would've gone for that, too.

Okay one more post before bed but I think if she really thought about it, cunoesse would not be able to say she has ever felt anywhere was her home. Like I do think she did actually care about cuno, but she was 1. Going through a lot at that point and 2. Would feel it was too poisoned by betrayal for her to ever be able to say after that it was a home for her.

So many of my fave CC members that I talk about have a few things people can do that will suddenly make it entierly unfun for me to talk about

Vegeta has better things to do than talk to you.
