I hate (not really) when I see an amazing piece of art and then I go to the op and the tags are some gamer fandom I don’t want to be associated with because I’m a huge hater I love hating and I have to go “they fucking tricked me” but they did it honorably so I must accept it.

It might be because I'm relatively "new" to the Dragon Age fandom (the last few years) but it feels like people are actually losing their minds over the choices and world state revealed about Dragon Age Veilguard. Hear me out. Does it kind of suck? Sure. Carving out your own "canon" is cool. But if you craft a story around each choice someone could have made, you have to change your development and story planning for each of those possible choices. It's been 10 years since Tresspassor was released.

It's been 15 years since Origins was released. Real years, not in game years. Only Inquisition had the more "open world", widely stretching plot, and even that was barely held together by strings, hopes, and dreams. None of the games have thus far reached into Northern Thedas beyond having characters come from there. This could very well feel like a whole new world for Rook. Without the super nostalgic feeling, why would 99% of what happened in southern Thedas matter at all at this point, for this game? Who in northern Thedas would even know about it? These people? Sure, Morrigan can have a son (she did in my default world state for Inquisition anyways), but at this point he's fully grown? Why would she ever talk about him to Rook, to reveal that about herself? As far as I could tell, the Inquisitor only meets him because his mother is working at Skyhold and he's a child that needs to be cared for. The Well of Sorrows kind of blows, but again, 10 years later and they're finally able to give us a game. Not only are they giving us a game, they're clearly making some space for the unresolved issues between the Inquisitor and Solas (regardless of romance), all the while needing to get new people involved in the game for it to be truly successful. The choice with the Grey Wardens could have been cool, but again, it was in southern Thedas. I have a hard time believing every single Grey Warden was either doomed or saved by the Inquisitor.

I just think maybe people are taking it a bit too harshly, some of the comments make me think people really need a breath of fresh air and maybe to touch some grass. Do I want everyone to have fun in every single Dragon Age game? To feel all of the emotions and pride for what happens in those games? To love and cry for their OCs???? Of course I do. But based off of the fact that Leliana could have died????? But no matter what she's a face in Inquisition???? That tells me Dragon Age DOES have a default world setting with some things being set in stone regardless of what choices you make. But I also think it's a little unfair to call a game a failure, cruel, uncaring for their canons just because it doesn't have 10-15 in game and out of game years of choices perfectly represented. This is Rook's story, and honestly, nothing that happened in southern Thedas matters to their story. To any Rook, the Inquisitor is probably this legend like figure who may or may not have been touched by god(s). Or seduced a god. Who knows.

okay so i don't like that i have to make this post but i feel inclined to because the l&ds fandom is growing and i would rather hold the space for this important conversation AND because i am a queer woman playing this game (and have been here since day 1. lol)

while i do understand that this game is an otome game, i genuinely do not care that people are shipping the love interests together or that people have made male mcs/ocs to fit in with the narrative. i'm uncomfortable seeing people disagree about this and the overall inclusion of queer identities with the justification that this is 'strictly otome' meaning it's 'strictly for women' and more offensively the 'they're trying to make everybody gay'/'they're trying to be so inclusive but it's not right'.

to that part of the player base, i cannot emphasize to you how many women who play this game are queer, including the crowd that is nonbinary, genderfluid, etc and femme-presenting. i don't know how else to emphasize how homophobic those statements actually are. as a matter of fact, l&ds does have the capacity to be a queer-coded space despite it being confined to the otome genre. if we're really gonna push it, i'd say obey me had already pushed that. (do y'all even know the way people ship diavolo and lucifer? LMFAO)

the conclusion i'm making is that nobody's gay pairings are harming you, and y'all are acting up like somebody was murdered or did you harm personally. you're instead being dismissive of the opportunity to make more friends and acquaintances with people who share the same amount of love for the game as you do.

if we're gonna keep it a real buck... all four LIs don't even adhere to the traditional cis-gender heterosexual man. and if a great number of the player base is queer women... it's a sensible thing to consider the fact that these men are queer themselves without any labels.

also. THESE ARE PIXELS.

i want to emphasize that this is a safe space for lgbtq+ folks, especially if you play this game! thank you :)

Listening to you people bicker about the morality or lack there of within the IWTV show and its characters is driving me up the fucking walls.

Hello I'm back here to whine about the stupid things that some people say about spiderbit's (or guapoduo if you prefer) relationship.

Today we got this, taken right from the source (Cellbit's English updates on Twitter)

Cellbit: Oh, also, Foolish! My husband said that you could arrest him… that was an answer he gave before knowing you actually arrested someone! So, in behalf of him, reconsider his answer, he meant "no"!

So, I've seen some people say "omg red flag!"

Bro, do I need to talk about this or are you going to figure it out by yourself that what qCellbit just did was because he literally cares so very much about qRoier and he doesn't want him to be abducted like it happened to him, Felps, Pac and Mike, Luzu, DanTM, Jaiden and Étoiles?

No because. How can you say it's a red flag.

You are saying that because you think qCellbit, speaking for his husband, is doing something wrong? And how do you know that? He's trying his best to protect him, not control him.

I've never ever seen qCellbit trying to control qRoier in anyway shape or form. Actually he's pretty nice, he's chill about Roier. If he was controlling he'd start following him around, he'd ask what Roier is doing 24/7, controlling his every decision. He's literally doing the exact opposite, do you remember before the marriage how Cellbit would kill instantly anyone talking about the election around him but as soon as Roier asked if he could, Cellbit reply was just "You can talk about whatever you want"? Because I do.

And they actually discussed the prison thing.

Literally.

Roier didn't know about the imprisonment of Pac and Mike, that's exactly why he said yes in the first place. Then he said that Foolish wouldn't imprison him because The Federation wouldn't ask him to.

That's it really. I don't see the red flag.

P. S.: I know it has become also common to joke about the red flags thing, and I find it funny! This post is specifically written for the ones who still take this seriously for some unknown reason, but the ones who joke about it are actually great dwdw-

[ozlices]

it's been a long ass while since i've gotten so many notes (since i rarely, if ever, have energy to make actual content on here) but i just wanna say it's truly heartwarming to see my activity blow up as we all bond over our mutual, thriving, visceral hatred of james somerton. just truly beautiful to see people come together for a good cause like this.

sometimes the things i hear about the deprog server make me glad i left

[ceasarslegion]

Nah man someone did NOT just accuse me of downplaying racism and the prison industrial complex on the post thats literally ABOUT the issue with taking shit on the internet out of context in the worst faith possible. There is no WAY someone is THAT much of a bad faith actor on my post ABOUT bad faith actors. Jesus fucking CHRISTTT

[crazy-lazy-elder-sims]

Dropping in to say that ever since i read that stupid comment on reddit about this redditor being convinced 100% that halsin is some writer's self insert and wrote in the orgy scene to make shadowheart his waifu i have not been able to stop thinking about the absurdity of that ever since lol

Like this fucking guy finds its so hard to belive halsin in all his 7 ft gentleness is a real character intentionally written to be a fully rounded real character and the only explantion to this guy is that Halsin is some guy's self idealized ver. Of himself thats just written to fuck shadowheart and piss him off appearantly

Because in his head big muscle bear guy cant possibly be gentle and cant possibly be loving or open to more than one partner and shadowheart cant possibly be attracted to him only his tav not tav and halsin no no impossible

Today on Shen’s hot takes: today, rivalsduo, and dream (as like. just a guy. )

Look man I’m mentally incapable of seeing a mf as just a mf. All content creators are literally just guys, holding them on “can do no wrong” idolization puritan pedestals is just a gambit set to fail. I loved techno dearly but I didn’t think he was a literal godsent angel and icon of perfect role-modeling who has never made mistakes or fallacies in his entire life, dude was also literally just a guy (with the wisdom to avoid any possible controversies. ) I like the content that came from their dynamic and that spawned in the fanbase because of it, and I enjoy consuming that media.

like yeah some creators fare better than others in terms of internet moral upstanding, but that’s just how life goes in general. Tell me you’ve never handled a real life dispute without telling me that you’ve never handled a real life dispute.

Also this is my official “I’ve fallen to goldenboys duo propaganda” post, I’m in it for the fanon content, not the ccs (although I’m fond of both of them, they just never make content together, and I don’t expect them to.)
