it hit me like a truck today while on ao3 that while obviously i am deeply interested in the internality of the little funky bone lesbian and hot butch antichrist with the chussy, i'm not really interested in their romantic relationship per se- give me 50k fic about abigail, give me 100k about the terrible old lyctors and their messed up shit-

and then I realized this probably makes me old.

Timeline musings

Just trying to work out a few timeline quirks. I've seen so MANY people give a 'thousand years' for how long Solas slept after imprisoning the Evanuris, and that's just... completely wrong.

World of Thedas has the events as this:

around 8500 years pre-games: Founding of Arlathan. I'd hazard a guess that the elves made physical bodies a good length of time before founding an empire, so maybe we can say 9000 to 8500 years pre-games, spirits crafted bodies and became the first elves. Solas was one of these first elves, so he's like, super old, you guys. Old as balls.

3000 years later, so 5500 years pre-Dragon Age, "first contact between elves and dwarves." So I guess that's a nice way of putting "The elves won the war with the Titans by sundering their dreams from them, leaving their bodies as mountainous husks, their dreams as the Blight, and dwarves as what was left."

1500 years later, 4000 years pre-DA, first "claimed" contact with humans. But we know this is incorrect, since Solas implies in one of his regret murals that the spirits got the idea to make physical bodies from humans. A mystery! Could the claimed first contact with humans be the time when Solas imprisoned the Evanuris and raised the Veil, thus leaving the surviving elves mortal and vulnerable to conquest? This would mean his total time sleeping would be around 4000 years.

2000 years later, about 2000 years pre-DA, the Tevinter Imperium is founded.

800 years later, Magisters poke a hole in Solas's Black City prison and the First Blight begins and lasts 200 years.

Shortly after, the whole Andraste business happens and the Chantry is founded, starting a new calendar with it. The Dragon Age is the 9th age since, and each Age is 100 years long.

So 1000 years is far too short of a time for Solas's nap. I'd say minimum would be 2000 years, and maximum is determined by the dates of the rebellion, which are currently unknown. Sometime after "first contact with dwarves" but before "claimed" first contact with humans is my guess. A window of two to five thousand years.

I had a cevans hater follow me and just thought I should make it clear.

His life is none of anybody’s fucking business.

That is all.

my own personal gra’ha tia story as someone who doesnt play ffxiv and could maybe name like five characters at most, him included, is that someone i used to be mutuals with suddenly started posting like, a TON of WOL/gra’ha tia smut on ao3 so i got curious and skimmed it without even knowing what he looks like. and yknow, he talks like an old man. so i had this kind of dignified image in my head, and then like two years pass and i finally see a picture of him on my dash and he’s a fucking twink catboy i was so mad why does he talk like that

everyone in ff14 just talks like that. i feel like minfilia gets it the worst

he really is just some fucking twink catboy, i always see him drawn so lithley they always steal his muscles (what little he has)

I was looking through old family photos while at my parents' place today and it got me thinking about my youth and how messed up my self-esteem was/still is. I was so cute but didn't feel like I was worth anything! :( I wish I could hug younger me.

Pictures other people took of me (above) vs the selfies i used for my myspace profile (below). (17-19yrs)

I had a favorite angle. These are the least embarrassing ones I had, too. What was my aesthetic? Skater? Emo? A mashup??? Who knows. I dislike my appearance so much now that I really don't take pictures anymore, but here is something from a few months ago.

Anywho. Here's to 36!
