Any info on ladders?

ladders are a pretty common species of herbivore native primarily to mountainous areas with steep cliffs. their long, flat bodies aid in climbing the steep and dangerous terrain of their homes. they come in a multitude of shapes and sizes, from wooden ladders several feet tall to 3-foot metal step ladders. most species have ranges that do not overlap with each other, though they mostly get along with other species in the same family. these objects are very skilled climbers and can easily make their way up large cliffs to reach vegetation, which they readily consume. they aren't picky eaters and will take anything from moss, leaves, grass and roots to bark from trees if nothing else is available.

these objects don't typically live in large groups, though babies imprint and will follow their parents around. the rungs of adults are strong enough to support a baby on each one, and this is their primary mode of movement as family units. baby ladders are able to walk almost as soon as they're born, within a few hours, and will stay close to their parents until reaching maturity at around six months. they then split off to find mates of their own. mates may be selected based on number of rungs or steps as well as durability, which is shown off in courting displays where wild ladders will allow a selected individual to try climbing them.

it should be noted that in wooden ladders, their rungs are not strong enough to support the weight of a human and attempts to climb ladder objects of this type will result in injuries that require immediate medical treatment from a vet. while wooden ladders aren't seen as being very useful due to this, metal ladders have much more durable steps rather than rungs and are sometimes trained to be used at construction sites or during building repairs. their skills with maintaining balance and climbing in the cliffs of their natural habitat lends itself well to this. some people also keep step ladders as pets, due to their smaller size. these are objects that need to be kept outdoors in enclosures, NOT indoors.

Tools for Safe and Efficient Vertical Access

Step ladders are essential tools used in various industries, workplaces, and homes to provide safe and stable access to elevated areas. They are characterized by their portable design, foldable structure, and multiple steps or rungs that facilitate climbing.

Vivienne's fear being 'becoming irrelevant' isn't something that's linked explicitly to her pride, no matter what Solas says about her (and the irony of Mr.Pride himself saying that should not be lost on you), it reveals what and who Vivienne truly is.

She's a survivalist.

Because we don't spend as much time in the Free Marches or Orlesian circles, we don't get to experience what being a mage is in these cultures. In Ferelden and Kirkwall, a mage is a lesser being without freedom no matter what they do--but in the Free Marches and Orlais specifically, mages are commodities that are given freedom so long as they play an entertaining enough role. They can explore the world if they have a noble patron, if they catch the right person's eye. They are, in a way, two sides of the same coin--refusing mages agency and forcing them to relay on higher powers. Vivienne lucked out, as sad as it is, when Bastion fell in love with her; she found someone who was contrarian enough to recognize her as a full person and also someone with power that could help her rise through the ranks. This is not to say that Vivienne on her own wasn't an exceedingly talented and intelligent individual--by nineteen she was already the youngest full fledged mage in Circle history and she was skilled enough to make herself an enchanter. But, I can not emphasize this enough, none of that matters if she didn't also play the Game and impress enough people.

Vivienne could have been the most brilliant mage in the history of Thedas and it means nothing if she was overlooked by nobility.

So when Bastion made her his mistress, she gained not just a lover but also a means to an end. Now she can use her magic to protect herself. Now she can roam where she wants and not be question for it because she's Madame Vivienne. Now, she can walk into the Orlasian court and belong there.

And what happens? Celene notices her and makes her the Court Enchanter, a position that has always been the equivalent of a jester. Vivienne took that title, ignored that it was essentially a glorified insult to who she is, and made it a position of power. She made the Court Enchanter into an advisor, a political rank. She had done the impossible and made mages an actual political entity in the Orlasian Court, something that wasn't seen outside of Tervinter (not counting what players can do under very specific conditions if they made mages in DAO and DA2).

All that, however, only continues as long as the court recognizes her as something worth their attention. Vivienne needs to maintain her act as Madame De Fer, The Lady of Iron, the Court Enchanter, The Jewel of the High Court, because the second she just becomes Vivienne, it's over for her. The assassins coming raining in, her name gets devoured by rumors and gossip, and she'll be found dead at bottom of the stair case with a dagger in her back if she's lucky.

So of course when the Circles fall apart during the Rebellion, she clings to that Loyalist Mages to maintain that structure--of course she moves her pieces to the Inquisition, knowing that if the Circle DOES fall, she at least as another place for herself and mages latch onto--of course when she hears that Celene replaced her with a new Court Enchanter that appeared out of no where, she grows to resent Morrigan.

Like, Morrigan literally pops up out of thin air, makes herself invaluable to Celene, and then plants herself in the place Vivienne had to claw her way up to and create so she could survive. Would you not be resentful when your life's work is usurped by some random witch of the wilds because she happened to charm the Empress? Everything Vivienne strived for all whisked away because the court find a gem who glimmers ever so slightly more than Vivienne.

So yes, Vivienne fears becoming irrelevant because the world has made it so that irrelevance for an Orlesian mage means death.

The exterior is very powerful at the present time. We are living particles, fireflies in the world, and around us resounds an enormous concert of noise-and-rumor-producing machines, creating a din and rumours destined to ensure we don't hear the voice of truth. But the interior enemies are just as numerous. It concerns our fear: this is what we are made of: our weakness. Kafka told us: paradise is not lost. We are the ones who haven't yet regained it, and if we haven't regained it, it's because we are suffering from two vices: laziness and impatience. As a result, we do nothing and don't advance, we stop out of laziness, hurry from impatience. Between the two, the work of descending isn't accomplished. Paradise is down below.

Kirk is literally dragging himself, tears of frustration in his eyes, toward the fight on his one good leg, hands cut up by shards of plastic, because Spock’s in there and needs him.

Yeah, I mean, there's a reason SI is laughing here after Eclipse "gets on his level" - man's too tall, he'd need to lie down to get close

But shenanigans are so very fun, so:
