A while ago @shirokou sent me a really cool dice divination set called the Publishing Goblin Oracle Dice, which looked awesome but took me a while to get comfortable with; I've never really done what I think of as "bones" divination where you cast objects into a field and divine based on where they fall (dice, runes, i ching, etc).
I did a first few readings this past month, though, and while they were difficult they were also really fun! I don't know why this form of divination is so much more complex for me -- I read card pretty fluidly, although moreso when I'm working with my own deck where the cards have the meanings printed on. But like, this 14-dice reading on a mat was way more complicated than the big 78-card spread I usually do a few times a year.
That said, I have to admit, it does look properly wizardly. Look at that diagram I did and tell me it would look out of place done in red ink on parchment, lying near a skull with a dribbly candle on it. (It's mostly about change and relationships, I'm still decoding what it might mean.)
[ID: Three images; first image is a set of the oracle dice, featuring arcane and interesting symbols including scales, a butterfly, and a skull with a keyhole jaw. The second image shows the mat, lying on my carpet, with the dice lying on it. The third image is a hand-drawn chart of the mat, with the dice drawn in and numbered; between and around the dice are all kinds of notes I've made in a different color of pen, making it look like a sports playbook or a wizard's chart.]

Hey there! Watched the "Once Upon a Time" episode of The Twilight Zone during the SyFy marathon and thought of you since the main character is Buster Keaton. He was so old and grumpy but damn he could still run and fall. 5/5 stars.
AHHHHHDGHDSGKS i am very jealous. and i'm literally bouncing that you liked it!!!
that episode is obvs on my to-watch list, but i'm still working through his movies. he was so freaking prolific, and it only got worse when he turned to television, lmao. his filmography page on wikipedia is almost solely about his movies, because there were stretches in the 50s that he was doing 2 guest appearances on TV a week, and it's literally not possible to list them all O_o
there's a passage from The Camera Man by dana stevens that i think about whenever i think of that Twilight Zone ep:
In a comic episode of The Twilight Zone, [Keaton] played a time-traveling janitor from 1890 who, after some mishaps in the present day, decides to go back to his own era. More than one of his TV roles shared this theme of a desire to return to days gone by. In the 1955 teleplay The Silent Partner he was a forgotten silent comedian named "Kelsey Dutton," clearly modeled on the real Keaton, who watches quietly from a bar stool while his former director accepts a lifetime achievement Oscar. In flashbacks he appears as his fictional younger self, his only de-aging makeup a ludicrous black wig—an odd choice until you consider that, even at age sixty, Keaton was the only one who could do the falls. Somehow these backward-looking TV roles never came off as a bid to rest on his laurels, maybe because they were projects others cast him in rather than stories he created for himself. When asked he was happy to play the part of a pie-throwing old-timer, but in real life he was turned toward the future, a time traveler who had arrived from 1895 and decided to stick around. (366)
I wish he could have stuck around three more years to see the moon landing. I think he would have liked that.

I will say I'm kinda disappointed that there won't be a dwarf from Kal-Shirok in the party. I hope that Kal-Shirok plays a role in the story of the Veilguard

Tengo una duda Alanita... Si Dolly Boum es hija de Mad Dummy y como vimos él es primo de Napstablook y Mettaton...eso significa que Dolly es prima de Shirok, Mettpy y Papytton!!!???????? Pls responda :")
Dolly no es hija biológica de mad dummy , es creada/adoptada, por eso le dice "creador" o a veces "papá"

ngl i am a little disappointed they did the fan service thing and made scout harding a companion. we're going to tevinter! orzammar has embassies there we could have gotten a cool embassy dwarf storyline or a kal-shirok dwarf. literally anything to flesh out dwarves more. harding's like varric where she doesn't seem connected at all to other dwarves so idk that her story will be that interesting. esp compared to the other companions revealed. her freckles are cute tho ig.

It's time for some Post Office Bounty! I am bad at checking my PO box but always delighted to find treats when I do. Up top, some delightful random flavored chips from @221squee, thank you! The takoyaki chips are very pungent -- they taste very nice but they do smell very strongly of fish -- and the "Chip Star" consomme flavor was delightful, I ate them all in like a day or two. I have to admit I haven't tried the foie gras flavor yet...I have had foie gras before but that's how I know it's, uh, a powerful flavor. I'll get up the courage eventually. :D And I love the card!

I always know when I get a package from @shirokou that it's going to be full of fun stuff -- there are some wonderful enamel pins (I'm going to have to redo my Ita bag for the new year!) and stickers, and I'm excited to learn about these diviniation dice that came with such a fun rolling mat. I'm going to be doing some tarot reading tonight so hopefully I'll do some dice throwing too!

And so many lovely cards! There's one in the middle that you can barely see because I wanted to make sure I covered up any faces, but I always love seeing the photo card every year! (And loved hearing about the new pup.)
The glittery gifts up top is a fun 3-D card from @scifigrl47 , and next to it the basket of boughs is from @delphia2000, thank you both for the holiday wishes! There's some pretty sheep from T in Berwyn (glad I offered some comfort and entertainment this year!) and a wonderful polar bear with some penguins from @kimmiesue13. I got a fun Christmukkah card from Josh & Kris (man the card also reminded me about the holiday I invented, Christisntspringhereyetmas, but there's always next year to celebrate that). Finally, a beautiful and indeed terrifying owl card from Wendy (it's so eerie, I love it) and some awesome glittery snowmen from Traylor.
Thanks everyone! I hope you all had a good holiday and that it's okay I posted the holiday cards a bit later than I'd hoped :)

For Jack's home city-state in the Free Marches, I'm thinking Wycome. "Revelry capital of Thedas" sounds like it would be a great place for a branch of the Dwarven Merchants' Guild with an ascendant leaning, as opposed to Kirkwall's more traditional kalna leanings.
Also, Wycome is featured in a war table mission specifically for an elven inquisitor, where if you play your cards right, you can land an Actual Dalish Elf on the city council. My inquisitor is a Qunari, but I am going to pretend that happened anyhow.

7, 10 & 21 for the choose violence thingie 👀 whatever fandom you want!
7.) what character did you begin to hate not because of canon but because how how the fandom acts about them?
I'll do a second one of these. Varric Tethras. Surprise! Bioware gives you a designated best friend who is a yes man and the woder fandom loves him cuz they love having their ass kissed! Oh man you would think Varric was the maker the way people worship him. But he's a prick to Sebastian AND Blackwall for a bit because they are Noble and good men and only likes Blackwall when he finds out he murdered a family. On top of that he's another of Bioware's "I hate my ethnic/oppressed group" and he's annoying about it. This fucker when you go into a cave that you can see the back of from about 90 meters away from it "you know, not every dwarf loves caves..." oh sorry Varric didn't know we were walking into Kal shirok here in the hinterlands when the sun is out.
But all you ever see is "Varric is the best I would romance him so much cuz no one will ever compare to him. My Hawke and Inquisitor would fight over him cuz he's just so hot and better than every other LI" god it makes me roll my eyes at how people fawn over yes men characters with no backbone and who's main trait is "will agree with you". Sebastians a better archer, Sigrun is a better dwarf, and I'm hoping someone else can get a spotlight in DA:D cuz I'm tired of Varric.
He's fine in combat in DAI and I do like his banter with Vivienne!
10.)worst part of fanon?
Ignoring the facts about a character to recharacterize them. Like Garrus and the "He's Turian Batman!" No he isnt. He was a trigger happy ex cop who wanted to just kill people and call it justice. Also projecting our real world issues onto fictional characters or plot elements. Like when people started saying Mage Lives Matter in the DA fandom because of Black Lives Matter IRL. That shit sucked.
21.) Part of canon you think is overhyped?
Solas has two things. His "I was wrong about you " convo for Adaar and Solas saying he's going to destroy the world.
Everyone says Solas is racist to Qunari/Tal Vashoth butnhe doesn't say anything The Iron Bull or Sten say about them. Bull and Sten say that the Qun keeps their davage nature in check, so why is Solas saying that after being AWAKE for 1 year that from what he heard Qunari are savage creatures? Theur own doctrine says it so why wouldn't he believe them until he meets a wise and noble Adaar that even THE IRON BULL will say is what Tal Vashoth should be if they don't want the Qun?
Also Solas as the main villain. Trespasser PLAINLY stated that Solas had a protagonist arc and his antagonists were the Evanuris, he eve says undoing the veil would release the Evanuris once more but he'll have to deal with them. Solas undoing the veil will most likely not do what he thinks because the world isn't dependent on Magic like it was when he sealed the fade. He won't be the main villain, the Evanuris will be. If anything, Solas could end up as a companion to the next Protagonist as we help him defeat the other Evanuris!
