taash said "they were doing it" and people ran with the interpretation of an npc that doesn't know solas or the history of the elvhenan even when bellara interjected and said, no, that's not right. that's not how it was for the elvhenan. they formed bonds before they had physical bodies. and people ran to doompost or create weird anti-solavellan shit even though mythal & solas refer to each other as old friends and when she releases him there is no tenderness or love in it. it is the act of unchaining a dog from his post, the stepping down of a general. but to each their own ig.

the real problem with the Veilguard score is not that it's bad (because it isn't) it's that they didn't put all of the stuff on the soundtrack

[glamfellens]

hello. im having mixed feelings about veilguard. also. if i had a penny for every time a long awaited sequel absolutely obliterated and went scorched earth on a favourite place/faction of mine **this year**, i'd have two pennies, but its weird that it happened twice.

I fear bioware were actually cowards for not putting broodmothers in veilguard

I’ve just read a fanfic that had me literally actually laughing out loud until I wheezed so naturally I must share it. 37k words Lumity boarding school AU (and they were roommates!), so it’s playing all the tropes the way you’d expect it to - it does what it says on the tin - except that ending. Oh my god. AASJDDJEHSK.

Sometimes you just want to open up the teapot an author is hiding in and give them a little treat for doing a good job (I don’t know why I picture fanfiction authors as tiny gremlin creatures living in teapots but I think we can all agree that I am Correct in this assessment).

TOH Modern AU: character summary

Luz: A teenager with an hyperfixation on The Good Witch Azura, a fantasy saga. Goes to Gravesfield High with Hunter, a boy that arrived to the town a while ago with his uncle. When she was a child, she encountered a antique shop called "The Owl House" after visiting Manny’s grave, and found out the owner was a lady with an owl and her dog with a strange birthmark forming a skull.

Camila: Luz’s caring mother. She is a secret nerd who has a Cosmic Frontier group chat. She was a close friend of Caleb, Hunter’s father.

Philip: Hunter’s grieving uncle. His family comes from a conservative town close to Gravesfield. After Caleb’s death, he decided to come to Gravesfield with his nephew in order to escape from the pain and heal. He is an old man who does conspiracies and invents things; despite him being an inventor, he does not understand modern day technology. He tries his best to raise Hunter. He is a bit distant with affection, since he has troubles manifesting his emotions. However, he cares about Hunter a lot.

Manny: Luz’s deceased father. He shared a room with Caleb when they were in the hospital before coming to Gravesfield. They were close friends as well.

Caleb: Hunter’s father and Philip’s older brother. He died of an unknown disease. He was married to Evelyn. Philip refuses to talk about him. Friend to Camila and Manny.

Eda: The mysterious lady of the antique shop; Luz thought she was a witch.

King: Eda’s pet dog, he has a strange birthmark in a skull form.

Hunter: Caleb’s son and Philip’s nephew. He has an hyperfixation on Cosmic Frontier, sharing it with Camila. Thanks to his father and Camila, he grew up close to this saga. He often fights with Luz about which saga is best (although this part comes later in the story timeline). He is in a Cosmic Frontier group chat. He also has a bird whom he rescued when he was a child, and an internet friend.

Willow: Neighbor to Hunter. She goes to Gravesfield High.

Amity: Luz’s girlfriend, shares interest with her.

Gus: He is Hunter’s online friend, they appreciate each other a lot. (Will elaborate on the AU)

Evelyn: Caleb’s wife. She disappeared after a fight with Philip when Hunter was a child. She misses Hunter a lot but can’t maintain contact because she can’t stand Philip.

We see some of the most misinformed anti-trans and anti-gender-affirming care comments use phrases like "forced sterilization of children." This proves how little they know about gender-affirming care as well as biology. And when you correct them it becomes a nuisance because they don't wish to change their bigoted stance.

If you want to talk about forced sterilization, then how about talking about the forced sterilization of American Indians! This modern form of genocide that has and is causing harm to the Nations is something many don't talk or know about.

Folks, I promise you Company did not realease Product to cover up Scandal. Companies are always releasing Products and always embroiled in Scandals. Companies do employ a variety of very real, very effective tactics to cover up Scandals (bribes, spun press releases, NDAs, litigation, general public apathy, etc...), but announcing Product is not one of them. This is like actual conspiracy theory thinking come on now.
