Starting to feel like my future is gonna be a "Choose 2 out of the 3" scenario between:

A. Being true to myself and my identity

B. Being a parent

C. Keeping regular contact with my family

I can only have two. One has to be left behind. And it's kinda devastating to think about rn

DATV explaining the 'Regret Prison'

A REGRET PRISON IS STUPID AND I'M TIRED OF PRETENDING THAT ITS NOT

TL;DR: a prison can serve as a metaphor but it shouldn't be entirely comprised of a metaphor.

From what I understood from what the game gave us: Solas has made a new prison to move the God's too - since bringing down the veil would free them from the Black City. This new prison is separate(?) from the fade or so far removed/contained that bringing down the veil would not compromise it...apparently. We interrupt his ritual, Solas gets sucked into the new prison he made, and the elven gods are free.

When Rook gets kicked into the fade they're physically there - which means it's a physical place in the fade, like how it was a mixture of physical/thought when we entered it in DAI. Which makes sense - the gods are real and living beings, they need to be in a place, there must be some aspect of physicality to it.

Alright, cool, it's a Black City 2.0 - I assume it's better defended to prevent people breaking in/out again?

NOPE.

We get there and it's a 'regret prison'?? It's tied to the regrets of those within it? Composed of regrets??? Solas had to wait for the right moment for Rook to be sufficiently 'full of regret' that they could switch places?

So is the prison tied to Solas's regrets? If so, how can Rook escape? The prison seems to work around the idea that it relies on the regrets of the person it's holding to work - which is how/why Rook was able to be trapped and later free themselves (along with whatever remains of the team apparently being able to do something on their end, not that we hear about it).

WHICH IS STUPID!

Are you telling me the prison intended to hold to megalomaniac elven gods was going to imprison them based on their own regrets? Is Solas assuming that Elgar'nan and Ghilan'nain are as self-pitying as he is? They'd break out quicker than Rook did! He made a time out corner for the elven gods to sit in and gave them an out if they reflected on their emotions/regrets or decided that they don't regret what they did. Elgar'nan, a spirit of tyranny, is not going to 'regret' his actions - he is going to justify them by telling himself and others that he knows what's best.

We can come across some of Solas's regrets in the prison if you run around a bit and explore:

Remnant of Failure - talking about the orb from Inquisition.

Remnant of Parting - talking about Mythal

Remnant of Reflection - more vague, talking about the Titans I believe.

So maybe he altered it - maybe he intended the prison to be 'locked' with his own regrets because after a millennia of having a pity party he still can't bring himself to self-reflect and look to the future. But what if Solas died? Or if his guilt lessened - would it diminish the strength of the regret prison?

We already have pre-established lore (though DATV has shown they don't really give a crap tbh) that once the being that has claimed/altered an area of the fade is slain, it's influence diminishes both in and outside of the fade. So if the prison was tied to his regrets then it would require Solas to basically live forever to keep it stable - especially if he brought down the veil and removed the one barrier that kept the world and the fade apart.

Rook and Solas needed some assistance to exit - but it doesn't seem like it was much! Solas used his dagger and Rook just...got out through a fade tear? This is Solas's 'more secure' second prison? It has a worse track record than the Black City! If Rook - who is not an elven god - managed to escape the regret prison what is to stop anyone else from breaking in and out of the prison?

And what did Solas intend to do with the blight - the bulk of which is apparently in the black city?? If bringing down the Veil would free the gods in the black city doesn't that mean that the blight would also be released?! Did he have a plan? Why does he go fully ahead with bringing down the veil at the end if the black city is still there and filled with blight?!

I get it: the 'regret prison' is a metaphor for how Solas holds onto the past and how Rook can move past their regrets and grow. He's trapped by the past - it's a prison. Cool. But this prison is supposed to by a physical place to contain the gods - not just to solely contain Solas. The mission is literally called 'A Cage for Gods'.

The Black City is an actual place that's so far out of reach of anywhere else in the fade that no mage can ever reach it while in dreams - let alone physically, which was only done once and took tremendous effort/blood sacrifices. It made sense - it was cool to see floating in the sky in DAO!

Though it's not said specifically, it's strongly implied that Arlathan is the Black City. You can see in the concept art that floating elven city is exactly the same as the black city in DAO! It's this foreboding thing just lurking in the sky - a constant reminder of the sin that led to the horrors of the blights and darkspawn. A real place with lore and history that also serves as a metaphor for the hubris and destruction of those who call themselves gods and act as tyrants -> for both the evanuris and the magisters.

I WANT TO UNDERSTAND THIS BIOWARE!

WHAT IS THIS KINGDOM HEARTS NONSENSE???!!

[kermit-coded]

underrated ian gallagher gayass moment is that time after he asks mandy how to know if a guy is into him and he takes her advice about "the look" super literally and starts super obviously trying to get a look at mickey's face.

[chicanomick]

Do you think Ian knows how insane it would be to bring Mickey, his ex boyfriend, up all the time but he experienced so much with him and Mickey is so ingrained into his soul and heart that he can't help it.

So he just says "I knew a guy who" "there was this guy" "a friend of mine once" and people assume he just knows a lot of people and has a lot of daring friends

But no. It's all Mickey. Ian finds a way to weave Mickey into every conversation and experience. Because once upon a time Mickey used to be his everything.

But now Mickey is miles away and he's dating guys to try to move on and forget but he never does and he never will.

i think the difference between mickey and jack in regards to rose and the doctor (especially pre-satellite 5) is that mickey sees himself as a third wheel in their relationship, while jack just sees himself as the third.

MICKEY IS PUBLIC DOMAIN NOW!

Sources [1] [2] [3]

Image from KALW Public Media, linked [3].

Though Mickey Mouse himself is not yet in the public domain, the version we see from him in Steamboat Willie is. This is, to put it bluntly, HUGE.

Mickey has been in copyright for 95 years- well over the 75 typically granted. With this lift on this particular incarnation of the character, he is now able to be used by fans legally without Disney killing them in court.

If you DO use him, same as with Pooh from last year, you have to specify that you are using THIS version of Mickey Mouse and Minnie Mouse (and also Pete was there too). This Mickey is a lot more of a scoundrel then we think of now, so make sure you're not making him too nice, lol.

But now, if you want to include Mickey in a fan game, a book, your own animated short, a comic, ect, and you wanted to make money off of it, NOW YOU LEGALLY CAN!!

YOU CAN: - Draw him - Sell merch of him - Animate him - Parody him - Build upon him - Write him

YOU CANNOT: - Name a building after him (trademark) - Name a comic after him (trademark) - Pretend to be sponsored by Disney (trademark/ownership) - General infringement on other Mickeys - Delude the trademark (like when people made a slasher movie of Winnie the Pooh, apparently??) [3]

Point is, THIS IS HUGE. Copyright usually only lasts 75 years, and Disney had managed to get an extra 20 years on Steamboat. Now that that's lifted, ANYONE can use Steamboat, it's characters, and it's ideas.

GO NUTS!

OMG I DONT WANNA BE ME AND I LOVE YOU TO DEATH AHHH !!

[you-show-me-love]

Tattoos are often symbolic, but I somehow missed the symbolism of these ones until now. I just now realized that Terry Milkovich has a tattoo above his heart that is hate speech, while Mickey Milkovich got a tattoo above his heart in a pronouncement of love.

Terry got to his son's knuckles early and made it the first thing people saw. Fuck u-up that's what Mickey Milkovich will do, that's what any Milkovich will do, but Terry couldn't get to his core, couldn't put hate there, because Ian Gallagher got there and didn't let go.

I also think it's interesting how after Terry died, we found out about his past with a woman he loved. He had done everything he could to be with her and ultimately killed for her, and she rejected him, leading him to a life of hate and anger. He just gave up on this woman and being with her. (He killed her father, so it's a bit hard to come back from, but still)

Mickey did everything to be with Ian, came out for him, took care of him, and attempted to kill Sammi for what she did to Ian, but he still got broken up with. He could easily have gone the path of his father, of hating Ian, hating everyone, but instead he carved Ian's name into him and asked him to lie, for him, because 8 years was a long time. His thoughts of them together kept him going in prison until he could escape, and when he did he found Ian again. And even then Mickey didn't hate him for not being able to cross the boarder because the love in his heart was stronger than any hate or bitterness, to the point he didn't hesitate to turn himself in to be with Ian once again.

I mean, how fucking beautiful is that? Mickey became the most loving person by being loved. He's not his father, and he'll never be his father, because he never gave up on love like Terry did. At his core Mickey is love.

Meant For Me (Ian's POV)

Ian paced his room. Everywhere he looked there was a reminder of Mickey.  Coming home everything was shit. He grabbed his sweatshirt and pulled it over his head to quickly tear it off. It smelled like him. He was everywhere and nowhere all at the same time.

He snatched up his headphones and took off running. The music and his feet hitting the pavement were helping clear his head, till somehow, he heard the first notes of that song. An alley coming into view, he slammed his back against the wall. Sliding down, giving into the tears as Jewel sang.
