have you ever felt the warmth of a god's happiness?
#cyrian lutare#anaris#dragon age#veilguard spoilers#datv spoilers#dragon age the veilguard#datv#freshly minted#something very insanity inducing to me about this line in the game about the depths of a god's regret but we can't get into all that rn.#it's so. it's soooo. like hear me out ok imagine being bellara. losing her brother to a forgotten one manipulating her brother thru empathy#and then losing rook a friend/lover to solas manipulating them through empathy. making them feel his regret. do you understand#pacing around in a circle. a being so powerful not being above emotion but instead feeling so much deeper and more intensely.#i am the regret of a god you-#ok banning myself from drawing for the next couple days bc this was not nice to my wrist LOLLL toxic yaoi will do that to you.

Veilguard fails to realise that for those who believe, faith is stronger than anything, even facts.
Right in the beginning of Veilguard all the Dalish/veil jumpers are so nonchalant and against their gods returning, as if they were convinced offscreen that their whole faith was based on a lie (even though they all still wear vallaslin) and their gods were Evil™. This, again, fails to consider that the vast majority of the Dalish would either not believe or not care because it's their religion, their faith.
Morally ambiguous gods exist in real life religions too and it didn't stop people from believing in them. Divine morality transcends mortal understanding, so their actions are always rightful. This also leads to the concept of a 'god-fearing' person - even the term used (θεοσεβής) can mean both respect and fear. Mortals are humbled by the gods' power and greatness, and willfully submit to their divine authority.
You needn't go further than the goddamn Bible itself to see countless examples of unethical things that God did/supported including legitimization of slavery and punishment (Exodus 21:20-21 “Anyone who beats their male or female slave with a rod must be punished if the slave dies as a direct result, but they are not to be punished if the slave recovers after a day or two, since the slave is their property." is one unhinged example), cannibalism, many kinds of violence, war, and of course, genocide, one of which was literally the deliberate destruction of nearly all humanity and living creatures on earth. The god of the most widely practiced religion in the world for millenia. Ask a devout Christian if they would stop believing in God just because 'um actually he is bad'.
Mystery is also a great aspect of religion, which also makes it an excellent worldbuilding element for writers. Mystery adds to the immersion because just like the characters, we don’t know everything except the beliefs and unanswered questions. And we're not supposed to, because this is how religion works in real life, where faith is about belief rather than what’s fully understood. It makes the story feel more real and engaging. Professional writers - of a AAA title no less - should know this.
Religion was one of the greatest themes in all previous games, especially Andrastianism and the Elven pantheon. Reducing it all to 'the Evanuris did it' is disappointing to say the least, and even if it was the truth that only the writers knew, they should have kept it that way, or at least some of the mystery. It adds immersion, drama, nuance, it encourages thought and discussion. For all Veilguard failed in the 'show, don't tell' rule, in this case this is too much exposure, and not even done in a good way. ''Religion is fake, so now everyone's atheist or unfazed. Oh, except for one (1) person who is mildly upset'' is not how faith works, especially in a setting so religious as Thedas.
#and to add salt to the injury they didn't care about the Imperial Chantry#nor the Andrastian Chantry of course#and butchered one of my favourite mysteries - the Forgotten Ones#but i'm not gonna expand on that now#veilguard critical#dragon age#andraste#evanuris#bioware critical#and please spare me lore that was only mentioned on codex entries.#that's even worse than not saying anything at all#it speaks#long post sorry#mine

call me crazy but there is a difference between treating your adult players like they are new to the world and treating your adult players like they have the memory of a goldfish and the vocabulary of a 9 year old
#the new players excuse is always going to be a cop out to me#new players can use the codex#or the fucking wiki#inquisition had tons of new players too#it wasnt written like that#its a deflection#also i had to change the age i put from 11 to 9 because i remembered#that i taught 6th grade language arts#and we did vocabulary#and 11 year olds have a bigger vocabulary than what veilguard uses in 99% of its writing#veilguard critical#they act like dragon age is special in its lore depth and complexity and plot#and that they had no choice but to over-explain because the plot is just SOOOOOO complex#when its not unique#every fantasy video game is like this#people enjoy exploring new worlds#meanwhile bg3 throws you into the forgotten realms lore and says learn to swim or die bitch!

Prompt 194
Bart is frozen. He’s terrified- his heart is beating faster in his chest than it’s ever done before yet he couldn’t even start to force himself to run, his body practically vibrating in place as he shook.
There was a familiar feeling in the air, one he’d never thought he’d ever feel again once he’d slipped back in time. He couldn’t breathe, everything felt like it was falling away except for that horrifying fiery aura-
“Kid, are you okay?” There was a hand on his shoulder, light as a feather (he’d learned that from gramps!) yet grounding.
He finally managed to suck in a breath, however wheezy, and looked up to answer, the words dying in his throat before they even began.
“Kid? Holy shit-” Bart didn’t hear anything else as his poor brain fizzled and he fainted.
Danny blinks down at the barely-teenager who seemed to just have some sort of attack before fainting practically in his arms. He’d say diabetes or something, but he has no way to be sure and is maybe panicking himself.
“Wow Mum, wha’ you do?” a toddler Dan- he knew what he did but honestly his baby lisp was adorable- snarked from next to him, chewing on his kid leash. Which he wasn’t getting out of until he could both stop floating whenever he saw the stars (yes he knew he used to do the same thing, shush) and walk out into traffic.
#Dcxdp#Dpxdc#Prompts#De Aged Dan#Bart came from Dan’s timeline and is maybe slightly traumatized about it#Jordan has forgotten most things about it#Danny just picked up Dan from daycare & saw Bart freaking out & went to check on him#Dan just wants to go home so he can try to convince Tucker he doesn’t need a nap#Why yes Tucker & Danny are roommates in Central#They video call Sam (who is in college in Gotham) thrice a week#Dan: This isn’t fair- Ellie got to travel the world when she was my age and I’m stuck with a leash#Danny: Ellie never ate anyone sunshine#Dan: She ate her brothers this isn’t fair#Danny: Those were emergency situations they were already dead and she panicked#Bart is in civilian clothes

HEAR ME OUT.
Imagine the morning after Emmrich and Crow!Rook sleep together. And Emmrich finally has a moment to see Rook in their naked splendor. And he sees all the evidence of their Crow training on their body. The myriad of scars.
And Rook is so nonchalant. So seemingly unaffected by their profession. That These deep, violent scars immediately take him aback. They've been through so much and yet hide it so well.
Imagine Emmrich, kind-hearted and so full of compassion, Emmrich, trailing his hand over those scars. And vowing to himself they will never endure such abuse ever again.
#the crows are bad bioware#you might have forgotten but i didn't#please give me the angst of crow rook being so good at putting up a facade#because it was ingrained into them from their training#dragon age#dragon age 4#dragon age veilguard#emmrich volkarin#Emmrook#Rook dragon age#antivan Crows

i have been reading through the diary I kept from ages 14-17 and realising how helpful it can be to keep a record of how you're feeling at different moments.
not only is it helpful to write down and process how your feeling and give yourself time to truly think about it, it's nice to have something to look back on. to not just remember how you felt about a certain situation but to actually have yourself from that time tell you.
and also, from an adhd perspective, it's really lovely to have reminders of things I'd almost entirely forgotten. it's easy to think that your life right now isn't interesting, but in 5 years time? to know what songs you were listening to or book you were reading or even that Thing that you were so worried about but now you can't even remember the details. it's nice to have a physical reminder that time passes and things really can get better.
#i think part of whats makes it so special to me is that (like it is for a lot of people) those ages where so *much*#and i was so stuck in my head and socially anxious and i feel like those years of school rly shaped who i am now ect#but id kind of forgotten? its become a blur emotions over time and its nice to see it clearer#but also how i changed? and to read into it and see what i did or didn't write#im also a big fan of the inner child and doing things for your younger self and its a lovely gift to have her speaking to me directly#also if you want to journal i highly recommend doing it in a normal notebook rather than a pre planned one#it gives you the freedom for it to be whatever you want with none of the pressure#recovery#tips
