silly card redraw <3

[fadetouchedsilk]

im not sure how to parse this exactly (probably since the thought hasn't marianted fully yet) but i wonder if the tone of veilguard's writing is less about appealing to a younger audience and more of a response to falling media literacy rates

kind of thinking out loud here but like.

i'm recalling the girl on booktok who proudly annouced that she only reads the spoken dialogue in her books, not the narration & the people in her comments laughing and agreeing (no wonder they can 'read' so many books per year, they're only reading 25% of the words). or 'starting to think some of you don't like media or characters, just fanfiction tropes.' you can hand someone like that a complex narrative, but what are they going to do with it aside from completely & happily misunderstand things that are very obvious context clues & themes? we can joke about the fandom mischaracterizing our blorbos & trying to be cool about just scrolling past but idk, personally i feel like i've seen an uptick in completely off-base takes in the last few years (probably some fandom bias there but this isn't my first time playing dragon age or narrative driven games in general so i don't think i'm entirely wrong)

it doesn't help that this group also loves to be loud online & the bioware devs (to their ongoing detriment) seem to be unable to distance themselves from fandom. we saw larian's response to this type of outcry, i wonder if bioware is just trying to get ahead of the curve. they make some questionable decisions, but they aren't stupid & i don't think people like that are especially hard to market to from their standpoint.

i don't think that older titles like dao are perfect or anything but i sincerely doubt that large swaths of current audiences would 'get' it. like, there IS a lot of narrative hand-holding in this game & i'm not talking about things like the map markers or accessibility features. 'do the companion quests!' you get told multiple times, more or less outright, & i'm still seeing people confused about getting 'bad' endings despite ignoring this incredibly obvious series of hints. there's a fair amount of information to be found in the codexes, but are people going to read them? we don't know, so we're going to repeat the relevant item name several times over on the off chance you might end up remembering it. like yes this is some people's first foray into rpgs, but you would think that progressing the story would be intuitive (especially given the structure & the journal itself).

the 'the curtains were blue!!!' crowd is unfortunately a very large audience these days, ea is a corporation who wants to make money & they do need that if they intend to keep making games. it might not even be intentional, it truly could just be the result of following market trends.

don't take this as me making excuses for bioware or anything, but there's definitely some sort of reason we ended up the way we did. i see the scaffolding of something interesting here with a lot of potential to be better than what the final product was, a lot of hooks we could have spent more time chasing & that leads to me wondering just what the hell happened.

Presidential Debate Reaction

ok good start on kamala's part

trump's neck looks like it's getting squeezed by his tie

it's never been called that

ok now it looks like his neck is gone

ew racism

and a great comeback

yeah the biden administration really was just fixing the problems caused by trump

bro donald trump is specifically mentioned in project 2025 as a potential reader

what?

i'm not going to keep saying "good comeback" every time kamala speaks anymore

even the moderators are killing trump

"i was the only president ever" - donald trump, 2024

not really liking kamala's take on china

that is completely untrue

that is also completely untrue

weird breathing from trump

"horrible vp pick" says the man who picked the guy that watches dolphin porn

that is HYPER untrue

he's somehow interrupting himself

GET HIM

i am waiting with baited breath for the inevitable couch joke

ANSWER THE QUESTION

i don't enjoy this question

YES THE HANNIBAL LECTER MENTION

i don't have context on the cancer windmills

narcissism

immense racism in that pet eating quote, i don't even wanna meme on it

he wants to say his outdated year old catchphrase so bad

that is factually incorrect

it's not new

BROOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

YES KILL HIM

this is the discussion we needed.

yep he's bragging about his ear explosion

trump looks like he's chewing cud

no you are not

trump immediately switching topics when they asked about his involvment in jan 6th is so funny

"nancy pelosi rejected me" - donald trump, 2024

YES KILL HIM

demonizing immigrants again???

that is contradictory

BROOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

he did not freaking say that

that is a lie

what is he waffling about

great

BRO

"nobody ever thinks about nuclear weapons" - donald trump, 2024

Now I REALLY wish that we’d gotten more of the four Vander siblings if ONLY to get more scenes of Powder and Claggor.

Given the motivation, Powder designed a time machine. Given the resources, Claggor was bioengineering plants to filter the grey. Literally the family geniuses.

I want to see them start yapping and cut to Vi and Mylo confused as shit.

[deanofsam]

Hush...Hush, Sweet Charlotte (1964)

"Miriam? He really... isn't here, is he? Just now, I thought I heard... sometimes at night, when I wake up, it seems as if he really is here. Don't turn on the light. It's not real when it's light. It's only real when it's dark - dark and still."

Unhinged Glimpse Into My Life

Holding floppy crochet light teal-blue lump in my hands and flailing it about cackling like a maniac.

Chef-Husband approaches, apprehensively asks: "uhh... what the fuck is that?"

Me, looking up at him and wiping my eyes: "It's a Buggy the Clown-terpillar that I'm making for @sordidmusings. Isn't it just fucking unhinged?"

Him, thoughtfully scratching his chin and taking the thing from my hands: "I'll be right back with him."

Confused me begins crocheting mushroomy hat for his head, patiently waiting for Chef-Husband to return.

He brings the Clown-terpillar and sets it down on the table where I'm working: "I added wire. He is now able to move around and sit upright like a proper gentleman."

Me @ chef-husband:

Safe to say, it's now a group project. And he can move.

Chat am I cooking or am I burning (Def burning I suck at writing, a feiren is a weapon I made up, this is the unnamed AU I was yapping about)

[binah-beloved]

Binyah is amazing, but consider the following:

Kitsune Binah

you're so right

Binah who inhabits a small, worn shrine in a forest tucked away in the mountains. she's never had many visitors, which is fine by her, viewing humanity with apathy and distaste. all of them are fools, destroying everything before destroying themselves- the few who dared to approach her shrine for blessings soon found their lives tormented by the kitsune's sadistic whims. rumors spread, and her shrine eventually fell silent

she senses movement one day, centuries later. a single, lone human with a bucket and brush and a determined expression. you survey the moss and vines overtaking the shrine, rolling up your sleeves and getting to work. it takes a few- several- hours to clean the shrine, and even then you can't do anything about the broken posts and rotted wood, but you still toss a few coins into the box as an offering. Binah tilts her head, listening- yet, you wish for nothing, only waving goodbye as you depart- and her ears twitch. curious... what a curious human, coming in and cleaning up and causing this faint stir in her cold heart

there's a fox following you home, black and gold and faster than lightning, watching your every move

[tomialtooth]

I hope that when the Project Wingman art book does eventually come out it features some FAN archive style short stories about Crimson Squadron. Please FAN I need to see the Crimson Squadron members interacting together before everything went to shit.
