#she needs something to hold ok

[sunlight-shunlight]

i wish bioware had not somehow regressed with their female characters. none of the veilguard female companions have a strong personality. they're all kind, soft, never overconfident or angry or abrasive, never have any unexpected hidden agendas, have no moral lines that they'll ever get angry with the pc about or leave the party for. and all extremely conventionally attractive and feminine. in 2024... not even a single woman can have like. mildly short hair? bleak 💀

even morrigan is now nice and polite? somehow flemythal reconciled with her offscreen and proved herself to be an Okay Mom™ rather than someone that morrigan hated and feared and spent years hiding from? flemythal gave up on all that stuff about revenge and betrayal and reckoning or whatever, and is now just another hapless victim of solas' schemes? mythal(2) doesn't want revenge either and is basically just there to manage solas' emotions? mythal(1) also having vallaslin and presumably slaves, despite being the "best of the evanuris" is never mentioned? NONE of these various iterations of mythal ever show autonomy in terms of doing anything unrelated to solas? isabela cares about cultural appropriation in the exact same way a modern liberal would, despite being a pirate whose main incentive is profit? her outfit is now even more sexualized, but this time in a grossly stereotypical bellydancer costume way? AUGH.

are women only allowed to look unconventional or be rude or morally murky, only if they're either minor characters, or one-note enemies with no chance at dialogue with them during their quests? andraste didn't die for this. bioware had better women characters way back in the kotor 1 era, by the incredibly low bar of "can they be rude or weird looking and still shown as sympathetic and interesting people". that bar is literally on the floor and they dug under it!

i guess it's not technically(?) sexist bc they did also make everyone else incredibly soft and mild too, but oh my god. if this is what's coming out of Progressive™ AAA companies we're in a really cringe fail cultural moment. it does not spark joy💀

crazy how the sanshee plush is one of the few actual direct confirmations on what a non-act 2 Natsuki’s home life is like because of how cagey she is on literally everything. Like this isn’t anything surprising or something you wouldn’t be able to extrapolate from the games but unlike everything else we know about her the implications are right there on the tin.

They literally did the character bio trope where where all the likes are normal but the dislikes are about their very specific trauma it’s just so funny they did that on the plushie card

Because his inner monologues really are just. So long. And I think it's important to show how much this guy thinks in order to say "not quite".

Messed around w/ (mostly) grey-scale. Caelina may be just a smidge overprotective, but to be fair, being attacked is probably a daily occurrence for Pyrrha. Luckily that number goes down by a lot when you have a guard dog tall fist-slinging magical woman by your side at all times lol

she just cares her so much

one of the objectively funniest parts of andor is how vel never forgave cassian for trying to flirt with her girlfriend for, like, one microsecond one time

zavijava info PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE!!!!! PLEASEEEEE ZAVIJAVA COME HOME ... PLEASE .... umm um um ill tell you about umm . tma au im making for nastya if u tell me about her .PLEASE!!!!!!!

so she is definitely a star of some kind. i mean she is an angel but in that story in particular The Stars are kind of angels. like they’re otherworldly beings and they jus kinda hang out. cosmically. it’s a different dimension separated from the human one but like, obviously stars still exist for humans, they just don’t do anything crazy because the rules of the world dictate that their realities shouldn’t interact. angels can observe the other world from far up above yet they still exist on a different level. But tbh zavijava had never enjoyed the otherworldly ethereal whatever lifestyle—she just didn’t feel like she fit in there. she is a #1 humans fan though so she knows that’s where she’d fit in. so she does just that. she fits in perfectly :) and normally :) yay :)

I once said that I thought Steph would make a great Black Canary, and I still think that's one of the realest takes I've ever had.

Like, this moment seared itself into my head and never faded:

in scribblenauts unmasked, batgirl cass is scripted to spawn a rose to hold after a short period of time. she seems to prioritize holding this rose over anything else, but uh...

my mum: “you’ve given her so much more grace than i would have. i would have been out of there. you’re a better woman than me.”

[crossbackpoke-check]
