because @nebulaad said "astarion pet rat" as a multiclassed rogue/ranger and so there's like. this One rat that starts hanging around Astarion and it's uncannily smart. Keeps managing to Not get eaten somehow. So he's like. Ugh. Fine? I guess? So this is Caspian. The Smartest rat in the realms. Astarion maintains that the rat can read and understand common.

My family lives in desperate conditions. I present to you a family of more than fifteen children. We live in very difficult circumstances😭🙏🇵🇸🍉🔻

Our children often say: "Stop the war - we are children - we want to live." But does anyone in the world hear his screams and respond to him? We live in a state of despair. This family has been living for nine months in a small tent no larger than 3 metres. Imagine spending every day, every night, and every moment in such cramped conditions. They need urgent support to rebuild our home and restore a sense of normalcy

🍰🍸☁️🌷 they're so little.

🍰 where you like to write

I, too, am a couch writer, or bed if I’m feeling particularly loungy. If I really need to focus I’ll move to a desk.

🍸 character who inspired your mc

Not sure I have a specific character that inspired Extempore’s MC. I needed someone who would have a reason to know how to fight/hack/sneak and landed on a journalist for the ~range~.

☁️ wip you want to write but haven't started yet

I’ve started two WIPs that I haven’t posted. One is a fantasy mystery investigating the uptick in magic abominations, the other is a character study of one of the ROs from that game that got kinda out of hand and has become its own slice-of-life romance.

🌷 writing achievement you want to brag about

Writing Extempore was a huge step! Now if I can just muster up the energy to finish it…

Currently $193 away from $5,500 as a short term goal

The fundraiser is a 4th of the way to reaching it's goal! let's keep up the momentum as much as possible! The next target is $10,000 which would be the halfway point for the initial goal.

Please consider donating even just $5, $10, or $20 to help push the fundraiser closer to it's goal! And keep reblogging/sharing the campaign so that more people who can donate may see it!

[crossdressingdeath]

#i mean all of this circles back down to 'we want the warden and player to be the hero and so alistair needs a quirky excuse to not be#in charge of you like he reasonably should be' but honestly if they were willing to do it so that they wouldnt have to think of a reason#that the warden SHOULD be in charge as opposed to alistair then they should have explored that as part of his arc and not just dismissed it#as a consequence of needing the game to be structured a particular way (tags via @nebulaad)

Literally all they had to do was add one line and one set of response options to the game. That's it. Just have Alistair say leadership isn't something he wants and ask the Warden if they're okay with taking charge and make all possible responses some variation of "Yes, I'm okay with that". All they had to do was have a single moment where Alistair asks if he can hand off responsibility to the junior Warden present and they say he can. There are other ways they could've gotten around it (for example Alistair could've joined at the same time as the Warden instead of six months earlier and they could've extended the Ostagar section so Duncan gave all the exposition Alistair gives in canon, making the two of them equals with an equal claim to leadership of the group), but if they really wanted to keep the current setup they just had to take two seconds to have Alistair ask instead of just dropping it on them! Sure, it would've required the slight roleplay limitation that the Warden must be someone who'll step up and take charge when it comes to it, but honestly they already have to be someone who'll step up and take charge and at least this way they'd have less reason to be immediately resentful of their fellow Warden!

A thing I wish DAO went into more: the way Alistair is in some ways incredibly selfish. Like, the way he refuses to take charge of the group is treated as kind of endearing in the text, but the game doesn't really get into what a massive burden he just... drops on the junior Warden present with no warning or discussion. Think about it: the Warden is heavily implied to be very young (possibly younger than Alistair, definitely around the same age), most of them have no real experience in leadership, several of them have no experience in the world outside their small corner, all of them have only been Wardens for a few days. And Alistair dumps leadership of the group on them and refuses to take any of that weight. Does your Warden like leadership? Are they any good at it? Is it exhausting and difficult for them? Alistair doesn't care! He doesn't want to lead, and that means you have to lead, and whether or not you want to lead has no bearing on that. It's not a discussion, there's no suggestion of sharing the responsibility of leadership as the Wardens of the group; Alistair metaphorically throws the responsibility at you and runs.

But if you go for low approval with Alistair it's basically all about calling him childish and immature, even though I think a much more compelling low approval dynamic is the Warden despising Alistair for putting so much on them with no hesitation, but being stuck with him (because they know as well as he does that they need all hands on deck Warden-wise) and stuck with that burden of leadership (because a Warden kind of has to be in charge of the group and even if one didn't no one else in the group would be very good as a leader in this situation, and Alistair has made it very clear that he won't take it). Even at high approval it would be very compelling to have this sense of resentment at how Alistair just assumed they'd take on the burden of leadership and refuses to take any of it for himself. But that aspect gets completely ignored in the story, you don't really get the chance to raise the matter aside from asking why you're in charge despite him being the senior Warden present a couple of times.

It also adds something really spicy to the fallout of sparing Loghain, though, because... Alistair forced the Warden to take on leadership. He made them be the one to make these hard choices. It's never been a discussion, it's never been the Warden's choice whether or not they take on responsibility for these tough decisions, Alistair always just expects them to do it. And now they've made a call he doesn't like, and he abandons the group on the eve of battle because of his wounded feelings? I'd argue that's as much a betrayal as sparing Loghain if not more so, and certainly more of a betrayal of Duncan's memory; Duncan understood that a good Warden must be driven by necessity, not emotion or even morality, and I feel like in the Warden's place he likely would've made the same call. They need Wardens around to kill the Archdemon, as many as they can get, and even one more could make the difference between victory and defeat. The Warden and Alistair may not know the details, but with the most senior Warden present saying they should make Loghain a Warden instead of killing him a logical assumption would be he has a very good reason for saying so and maybe they should listen to him! I would've loved it if during the argument with Alistair after sparing Loghain you could really get into that "You forced the responsibility of making these decisions on me when I never wanted or asked for it, you don't get to throw a tantrum now that I've made one you don't like" aspect of it, but you... don't. And that's a shame, because it takes a lot of depth away from his dynamic with the Warden.

UGH I’m dying to read it

shit’s gonna go down, i for one probably won’t be ready

[evendear]

A few months back I stumbled upon a great author @nebulaad . She writes great stories, but beyond that she writes a game.

Manor hill is great with everything from characterisation of protagonist to every person you meet. The game has great plot and as every great story is very inspiring.

You read great story and you wanna do things.

This game broke my 10 years long artblock.

This gorgeous lady smile didn't let me sleep at night. I just had to try and draw her.

This is commander Albeni and she is incredible storyteller. Among other things ;)

[vasshoth]

Aw I tried to go back and reread the fic that inspired all that hate but its gone or renamed? I hope that anon wasnt the reason it got removed

Hahaha, naaaah the anon wasn’t the reason. @nebulaad has just moved on to bigger and better stuff. You should read all their works tho, tbh. Every time I get a chance to read snippets it literally is the highlight of my fuckin day.

[paladinn]

@nebulaad mentioned the dalish spaghetti squash recipe from wot2, but the recipes are written in-universe so grain-based pasta exists at least!

Is there pasta in Thedas 😭
