just for fun this time during 'sea of blood' I counted out all the venatori corpses I think we can be pretty sure were lucanis' handiwork before we show up (not including the ones he kills in his initial cutscene, and with an assumption that he's been at work mainly up and down in the areas we move through until we find him, not behind the locked door -- I think that's mostly the work of rampaging undead and other venatori-hoisted-by-their-own-petard suchlikes). can thus happily inform you lucanis has killed at least 32 venatori before rook and company get there. at least one of them he's impaled on their own weird crystal spike things the venatori mages cast as an AOE attack and that they're trying to keep him contained with when we find him. so he's clearly been keeping busy lol. that's my boy dispensing poetic justice and claiming some enrichment in his enclosure while he's at it good for him!

In drs2p2 someone should say the word “host” or “game-show” in Jay’s earshot in a completely different context but he ends up remembering nothing but that like one year or so where for some reason that was his profession.

things that would have been cool writing choices for dragon age imo, not necessarily better just interesting:

loghain doing the dark ritual on his own if the warden chooses not to. I'm not sure this is in character really it just would have been wild for a character to make a Decision like that without you. maybe only if you have low approval or something (even though its difficult to get approval either way bc you get him so late)

anders somehow using gaatlok to blow up the chantry. much as i enjoy digging through sewers for poo crystals this would have tied the various plots between acts together so nicely. this one i legitimately think would have been better.

I said this in a different post but not allowing you to go to the circle during the arl of redcliffe because it's a cheap copout and makes no sense. either give us consequences for running off and spending 300 hrs in the fade or force us to make a hard choice.

a fourth secret persuade option for mage wardens to let eamon be possessed instead of killing connor or isolde. I know i've said this a lot. But the deal would be Arl Deamon agrees to act the part until the blight is over and the dialogue is slightly different during the landsmeet etc and ur the only one who knows why. ;) epilogue slide where he's eventually discovered and killed but not before he Wreaks some Havoc

giving thrask and grace more protagonism in da2 and having them survive, and THEY become the mage/templar leaders in dai rather than randos samson and calpernia.

an acknowledgment in the anders romance that justice is ALSO in love with hawke. awakening anders was a fun flirty commitmentphobe whereas justice was an intense weirdo about kristoff and aura's relationship and even expressed jealousy towards them. which was soooo interesting. anders being so intense and lowkey possessive (love him tho) in the romance makes so much more sense if it's actually coming from justice. "justice doesn't approve of my obsession with you" bro justice IS the obsession be fr.

isabela not betraying you in the fade if she has 100% approval and is romanced. i always find this out of character especially since she betrays you JUST for a ship and not anything actually meaningful like the others. or if it was a ship but the demon's offer was more explicitly about freedom/escaping from castillon (which can be read btwn the lines but I think it should have been more obvious) that would have been much better.

Headcanon that Leo has the song "Honey, i'm good" in his distraction working playlist and whenever it comes on, he refers to Festus as the "somebody at home" when that line comes on and him and Festus just have a nice little time enjoying a silly little song

[crows-of-buckets]

I think, as a crow, Illario would firmly have the mindset of "death isnt the worst thing that can happen to you"

Which has to make Lucanis' return so much more upsetting. You wanted your cousin dead (he was going to get himself killed anyways. Now, a year, ten, what does it matter, this job will kill him) and for a whole year you think you've succeeded.

And then you find out that no, you couldn't even grant your cousin (your brother) the grace of a quick clean death. He was tortured and twisted into a demon, and the man who walks through the door is a husk, puppeted by the (quite literal) spirit of your mistake.

How do you even cope with that. You deal with death, it's your life, it's his, and yet somehow what was supposed to be a quick kill was dragged out into something twisted and awful. Does it eat at him? If he's redeemed, does it keep him up at night? If locked away, does he pace the length of his cage and think that he too locked his cousin to such a fate? I need to study this man like a bug he fascinates me

UNIVERSAL DROPPED A NEW LIVE-ACTION HTTYD TRAILER 3 WEEKS AGO AND NOBODY TOLD ME???

OUGHHHH lowkey so hyped-

(Screenshots and me getting very excited about dragons under the cut)

HOOKFANG!!! I know we saw him in previous trailers, but I lowkey love this design. I'm a huge fan of stylizing the dragons into this new love action world instead of trying to make them look completely identical to their original animated counterparts (although on this note, I feel like Toothless' "live action" design sticks out dude to how much he DOES look like his original counterpart. I'm not exactly griping on this - his design is so iconic that if you change it too much from the base, you basically get the Ugly Sonic equivalent of a night fury /hj - but it is worth noting just how much Toothless stands out from an art style perspective in these trailers)

YIPPIE!!! THE RED DEATH!!!

Lowkey I am her number 1 defender. I love the Red Death so much. She's so cool. Red Death, my beloved <3

TERRIBLE TERROR!!! IT'S SO SMALL!!! IT'S SO ADORABLE!!! IT 100% COULD BITE YOUR NOSE OFF!!!

I love the blatant chameleon inspiration the terrible terror's face! And on all of the other dragons (but Toothless)! There's clear inspiration taken from real-life reptiles in these designs, and I always appreciate that!

I have a question about the factions and would love some insight-

I’ve played one play through so far as a veil jumper and I was wondering if the other factions had more/less/about the same flavor text? I read that playing as crow!rook (especially romancing Lucanis) there is more banter/dialogue options and I’m curious if that rings true for the others.

Is anyone else like. Genuinely torn about Sorvus being a thing. Like, I know it's a popular ship and the show certainly did feed it in the last season lmao, like I do genuinely understand it. They're both sweet and would be a cute couple. I have no problems with the ship, like there is nothing I can object to, really.

I just . . . I also really like seeing men just be friends? And be allowed to be tender and touchy and loving with their male friends. Soren gets a bit of that with Callum and Ezran, but that's got a very brotherly slant to it these days, he goes into Brother Mode with them and it's just. Idk. Some people are just straight, and cishet white men can in fact also just be really sweet himbos sometimes, and I feel like that would really . . . work for Soren. He's already written in as a character who's from this privileged background and was taught harmful shit and he's unlearned it; it fits, thematically, for me.

Besides that, if I was going to give Soren a queer headcanon, my thought still doesn't go to anything mlm? My automatic thought for him would be the kind of ace who forgets that sex is a real thing that people do. Like, he goes on about his muscles and how handsome he is as humor, but just absolutely does not compute that some people may think of him in a sexual context. He wouldn't care, he just. Forgets. Because he literally never thinks about sex by himself. And he loves people so . . . intensely and honestly that Idk if romantic love would be much different for him, if he were ace, than other types of love? Except possibly more of a desire to share his home with them, due to a feeling of safety.

My thoughts on Corvus are a little more nebulous, because I actually did have an mlm ship with him before he ever had screen time near Soren - he and Gren were the first adult couple in this show that I felt like I could properly write because they took so long to tell us Ethari's damn name, and I thought Amaya's boys being dating each other was a cute concept. Admittedly, I was a teenager at the time, and there isn't much basis for this other than their sheer proximity to each other (which is switched out for proximity to Soren after Amaya moves to Xadia).

But like also, Corvus did very much work for Amaya. Being honest and intimate and affectionate with one's friends is something she clearly encourages by just, doing it herself. So his relationship with Soren still works on the level of just being men who openly love their friends.

If I was to ascribe some queer headcanon to Corvus, there's actually a lot that could fit just because he tends to be so reserved. It wouldn't be something that changes his behavior unless he's interested in someone. So demisexual is obviously on the table because . . . basically just the inside would reflect the outside facade. I would probably go with bi or pan otherwise, something that's on the flexible side. It just really wouldn't matter unless he had a proper interest.

And obviously all of that's ascribing modern language to behaviors and preferences that none of these characters would actually use, but it makes the ideas clear to the modern audience.

Like I said, I mean Sorvus is cute, and I really can't think of anything wrong with it. They're sweet, they spend a lot of time together, they clearly have a good rapport. They're a cute duo. I guess one could argue there's a potential power imbalance since Soren is Corvus' boss now, but like . . . look I'm also in the Call of Duty fandom, I don't think I'm even ALLOWED to object based on a power dynamic anymore. That's also very easily remedied in their situation by just having Corvus formally switch to working for Ezran directly rather than through the Crownguard, and absolutely nothing about their actual responsibilities changes, Soren just isn't his immediate boss anymore. Idk. I just wanted to think out loud about it for a minute. I guess in conclusion, I'd be cool with Sorvus happening, but I also kind of love the way their dynamic is already just as friends. Anyone else feeling similarly?

POV: an alien that looks uncannily like your dad offers to teach you about your Saiyan heritage (definitely not sus)

Heavily inspired by the Odin scene in God of War: Ragnarok!!

I see a lot of Gohan & Turles interpretations as like Turles being an evil (and lonely) Saiyan and Gohan trying to find some way to outsmart him buuuuut I prefer to think of Turles as a cunning bastard that would lull Gohan into a false sense of security.

Maybe years of being repressed and told what to do by every adult figure in his life made him feel like Turles could be his route for freedom. Like, dude literally explores the galaxy and does whatever he wants.

Ofc, Gohan isn't naive enough to just get kidnapped. Turles tosses him a scouter and tells Gohan to call if he wants to talk, and Turles would secretly come to visit.

Then eventually when Picc finds out...all hell breaks loose and Gohan (panicking) willingly hops into Turles's ship and they take off.

Even then Turles doesn't tie Gohan down. He offers to send him back whenever he wants, even shows him where the emergency eject pods are. Turles knows damn well Gohan's curiosity is too great for him to make the smarter decision not to engage (like GoW Atreus)

Tldr Turles is a textbook groomer 💀

ok i don't normally make 'crotchety old lady on porch' posts. but i just saw someone on another social media website say they were feeling 'nostalgic' for their bg3 pairing and??? ....how????? it's not even been a year since release????? fan creators are still churning out content????

i know fandoms seem to cycle way quicker these days, but it's always so funny to me when people start to wonder why. the posts about 'the fandom is dying' are starting to circulate for bg3, and - not in a shaming way bc everyone is entitled to find new interests and new hyperfixations and also REST!! I'm not holding anyone hostage!!! - but... maybe it's because you barely gave it a chance to live??? by the time it had started to gather momentum you had already left it behind???
