Each time I start a project I'm allowing myself one "LOOK! I'M CREATING!" post to get it out of my system. I've had so much nervous excited antsy energy with all the TDTEBU news that it's gotten me to revitalize projects that have been collecting dust for over 4 years!

honestly one of the most disgusting things ppl can do is weaponize the various atrocities occurring around the world to "gotcha" people online and win The Morality Game.

Especially if the ppl you're going after are part of those targeted.

DATV Spoilers Just in Case!) I’ve seen a head canon floating around that when solas puts a mage!Rook in the regret prison, it tranquilizes them. What do you think Viago’s reaction to this happening to a Crow!Rook would be?

i think there's a small terrible part of viago that instinctively thinks it was a bad investment/solution to send rook off with varric, since he's lost one of his best assassins. and then of course he hates that this is his first reaction because rook is more than that to him, but he's been conditioned by their lives to worry about his power and the mission first. and then i think he throws himself into trying to prove that he is a better man than that by finding a cure, without being obvious about it, even if his worry actually makes him messier and obvious. a similar outward reaction to what i've seen people headcanon about how he feels when he gets the news that rook is stuck in the fade trap in general (anger, determination, frustration, etc)

the idea of viago as a man who clings to "i rose to this rank for a reason, above the other crows. i'm a killer but with my poisons, i'm cleaner. i'm royalty. i'm better." is so beautiful to me. who he wants by his side/publically allies with is made more interesting to me for that reason. rook and teia make a very short list, so for him to lose either of them (especially to a fate worse than death. like i know there's a cure but i'm not sure if that's common knowledge and it has rammys bro) will inevitably cause a crash out the likes of which thedas may have never seen before <3

While I intend this blog to remain a largely news-free space due to the constant hellstate of the world, let me be clear that I stand in full support of both the Palestinian and Jewish peoples who are currently experiencing relentless hate and suffering in these horrid times.

I am disgusted at the number of people, especially "progressives" on this website who have used this situation to spread both Islamophobia and Antisemitism. This goes double if you dared to reblog those "punch nazis/fascists <3" and "[x] are welcome here!" posts while in the next breath spreading dangerous fucking narratives that kill people.

So many people in online political spaces evidently see this as nothing more than a case of picking "sides", when ultimately what matters is supporting the oppressed against fascist governments and militias, wherever they are.

Common people will always have more alike with each other than their leaders. This is not a novel concept. Your activism should always be motivated by love and compassion first, and hatred second. If you use your beliefs as an excuse to find an acceptable target to vent your hatred towards regardless of the actual material outcome, you are no fucking activist.

You're a bigot.

I think a key thing to remember when judging all those "Astarion/Minthara/Lae'zel disapproves" reactions to like... helping orphans is that in context they're often rather realistic and practical considering what's being asked of them. If anything it's the more good-aligned companions willingness to drop everything and risk their lives to help randos in need of help that is unreasonable to expect.

Remember, from their perspective things like save-scumming are not real. They cannot metagame and prepare for what specific enemy or attack they might face. In-universe, death has consequence and you can die. Plus we're on an unknown time limit here to potential squid-ifying, not to mention their own personal baggage.

It's like... they're playing blind and on Honour Mode, and the consequences of failure isn't just a story going the way you might not like or your fave character dying. It's actual life and death. There are real stakes here for them.

So while yes they can approve of just... petty asshole stuff or even genuinely evil stuff, it's not unreasonable for them to have a problem with risking their lives for random strangers. Because if they're in your party, that's what you're doing. Making the choice to put their lives on the line for strangers. If anything they're all oddly brave and ride-or-die for whatever bullshit decisions you make from the start--I mean it takes a lot of reckless altruism while also being an asshole to them specifically (it's not hard to balance their approval by being nice to them directly on a good playthrough) to get them to hate you, let alone ditch the group.

For maximum amusement i interpret phoenixes childhood either:

THE Most tragic (think dead parents, he was raised by a live alivator in a traveling circus before being taken to a gothic style orphanage run by a vampire cult, he was one of the kids in battle royal, three seperate foster families he lived with disappeared into sink holes, he spend his early teens cage fighting etc. etc.) yet it's absolutely never mentioned.

OR he had the most normal, average childhood one could possibly have and for absolutely no reason he's still completely unhinged. his entire family is alive, yet they're never mentioned, never show up despite him being disgraced and jobless with a newly adopted child and he seems completely ambivalent If not entirely unaware of their absence. and we never get an explanation about an of it.

personally i 100% have to go with the latter, every time. it is absolutely imperative to phoenix's character (to me) that he had the most normal, average, BORING childhood in the world because it just makes the fact that he held on to edgeworth standing up for him in a stupid class trial for Fifteen Fucking Years so much more wild. literally the most average joe alive save for his protagonist hair and protagonist name and yet he speedran law school just to see his childhood friend (who he was only friends with for a very brief time, all things considered???) again. the former option is just apollo, which i think is fantastic in its own way because apollo tries so fucking hard to be normal. he's like the inverse of phoenix. phoenix "my childhood was so normal! i will now chase down a man i have not had contact with in a decade and a half over a lunch money class trial incident when we were children" wright and apollo "i was raised on the run from an oppressive regime by the leader of a revolutionary group. i am now a normal lawyer guy who lives for needless procedures please assume i'm normal please please please please" justice

moving to ny has made me change a lot in the past 1.5 years or so because i had to to survive but i think it made me someone who i always wanted to but never actually thought i could be. it's going to be interesting to see how i feel going back home with people who knew a different version of me.

No offense to anyone who likes it but I just don’t get the “cozy” genre. I don’t read a book to feel cozy I read a book to have my brain rewired lol

I've been memeing on Dazai and leaning on the theories that's its all his plan he's doing this to convince fyodor and Sigma etc but it didn't hit me at all till watching episode 8 that he may have been genuinely trying to reach Chuuya by mentioning their partnership

Like I do think Dazai was being honest in that speech but the anime has made me think he is trying to get into chuuya's head and ch 109 kept springing up in my mind while watching

That implies that there isn't a 100% certainty he's conscious yet in ch 109

But Dazai has already placed his trust and life on Chuuya at that point too
