#the only companion i need is you
Text
Fallout 4 update that fixes your companions affinity reactions cause I canning catch a break with MacCready’s greedy fucking ass.
“MacCready disliked th-” SHUT THE FUCK UP MacGREEDY!!! I am not keeping this life saving cure from this sick little vault boy for caps like your son is literally going through the same shit. Like this specific thing to me was 100% a mistake on some devs part but at the same time I he lives by “Not my kid why the hell should I care” so I’m smacking him upside the head with this pool stick until he acts right.
#like it’s so weird like of all things to have a disliked reaction too#like he should love that someone doesn’t have to experience what he does he should love it cause it gives him hope for ducan#but no he dislikes it like maybe cause it reminds him he hasn’t found the cure for his son yet but idk#just shut the fuck up I have so many things for you we don’t need to be Mr Krabs level of money hoarders#this is honestly the only one I have a problem with as I roleplay each companions brings out the best and worst in my SoSu but this is like#a hard line it’s weird this specific thing doesn’t fit his character as he all around likes kids and doesn’t want to see anything bad happen#to them but then is so rude to the kids in the game like??? he doesn’t have to like them but geez#fallout#fallout 4#fo4#robert joseph maccready#rj maccready#maccready

Feeling very insane about the fact that, in a way, being a bad Sharran is what saves Shadowheart in the end
Because like. She's not supposed to be bad at keeping secrets. She's not supposed to be vulnerable, kind, or hopeful. She's not supposed to get attached to anything or anyone
Yet, it's these things that allow her to get close to the pc and the group as a whole. The more she fails to keep Shar's secrets the more she opens up to you, and the more she opens up to you the more you have the chance to build a relationship with her, and it's through having that relationship that she finds the courage to defy Shar
If she had been a better Sharran she never would have built that bond at all, she wouldn't have felt safe to make the decision she did, and probably no one would have trusted her enough to let her decide to begin with
Shadowheart is saved because she is loved, and Shadowheart is loved because she cannot stop being herself no matter how hard she tries
#shadowheart#bg3#feeling very queer about Shadowheart in this chilli's tonight#anyway obviously this is very geared towards a specific version of her quest but I think it's the most common one and the one I like best#so shhhh#I think she's the only companion where having a good relationship with her directly affects her story in that way#Lae'zel will turn against Vlaakith mostly through getting the facts#Astarion needs you to persuade him and/or get in his head#but Shadowheart needs to feel loved#that's all she ever wanted from Shar anyway#it's so rewarding when she instead finds it with people that don't ask her to be something she's not#(also why her romance so much to her plot even without locking too much content behind it but that's another post)

because i love you in green.
but you love them in pink.
(an accidental poem that i wrote as a rant, but it needed more weight)
Something about being aroace spec
and feeling like i cant offer close relationships
in the "propper" way,
and so, i never will
have that deep connection
with the people i love
because they dont see me as someone
who can love in that way.
And its not their fault and its not really mine
because were friends and i love them
but they love other people
in a way i dont understand
and even if they loved me
it wouldnt be right
because its
diferent.
because i love you in green
but you love them in pink
#is this a poem?#mabey#i didnt write it as one but it flowed and i guess it kind of is#poetry#aro#aromantic#aroace#asexual#ace#demiromantic#aspec#im feeling things#i dont like it#a jar of moss and bones#when yiur whole friend group are in romantic relationships and your just there. as an aroace spec person yearning for close relationships..#it does something to you#and teh person you thought would be your closest companion and you have loved them in maby not only green for as long as youve known them#has found someone they love in pink#...#i need to write this in my journal

tag the oc that's most likely to get stuck in a time loop and what kind of time loop it would be
#I feel like Kyana has time loop potential but idk what the exact loop would be#maybe the loop is the entirety of DAO and she keeps getting companions killed/locked into their Bad Endings#and the loop only stops when she manages to get them all to survive the Blight#something something she needs to learn to be a good leader and care about others#unsuccessful loops reset via the archdemon killing her (even if the dark ritual was performed)#Selene gets the classic 'your love interest keeps dying and you try to stop it' time loop#to escape the loop she must Let It Happen (and then it turns out it's fine and everyone survives)#Secret gives me the vibe of someone who knows they're in a time loop but has given up on trying to solve it#she's just going through it. trying everything. keeping herself entertained. trying to stay sane#sometimes she clues Varric in on the looping. sometimes she doesn't#actually maybe her time loop rule is that someone else has to save her from it. nothing she does by herself will work#idk what the exact reset point would be#I'm thinking the Arishok fight maybe. or Meredith#I don't think it would go as far as the Fade#also. after writing Homecoming I did have the thought of a time loop story#with Dorian as the one being trapped and trying to prevent Neil from dying/becoming possessed#maybe in his case he's not really trapped. he can stop anytime he wants but he keeps choosing to go back#the reset point is something Solas-related maybe#herearedragons meta#oc: kyana amell#oc: watcher selene#oc: secret hawke#oc: neilar lavellan#oh. actually. Aqun would be pretty fun to put in a time loop#that runs over some part of DAI and/or Trespasser#Adina is his time loop buddy (the person he usually tells about the loop because she immediately believes him)#idk what his reset/escape condition would be though#maybe in his case it's something purely mechanical#like there's no lesson to be learned it's just a magical anomaly he's trapped on#and on a meta level the 'lesson' is accepting that not everything has a Purpose or a Reason

Most Likely to Wander Off - Nominations
a penchant for wandering off is a core trait of practically every companion, but who is first out of the starting blocks even when its incredibly dangerous, who cannot stay put no matter how imperative, who can the doctor not afford to let out of their sights?
no specific rules for this one, just the general guidelines of preferably no alternate versions of the same character unless they are very different eg through regeneration, and limited nominations from franchises other than doctor who and only if their universes are incredibly intertwined with Doctor Who (ie more than a small handful of crossovers)
all tv companions, along with some of the better known eu companions, are automatically included and so don't need nominating. full list here
Nominations:
Antranak
Missy
Wolsey
Rose the Cat
K9 mk 5
K9 from K9 Australia
John and Gillian Who
The TARDIS
Cousin Eliza
Delgado!Master
Ainley!Master
Miss Evangelista
proper Dave
other Dave
Anita
guy played by steve pemberton whose name i will look up in a minute: Strackman (??! - what) Lux
Death's Head
Thomas Brewster
Lulubelle
Mels Zucker
Rose Noble
this list will be whittled down to 8 during the round 1 group stage
Nominations will be open for at least 24 hours, until 14:00 BST (GMT/UTC + 1) 30/08
after that no guarantees, but always worth a try if the tournament isn't yet underway
#stray companions: nominations#doctor who#is it to early to start my campaign for evelyn#i mean she doesn't need to be nominated#so we're good for today#but she deserves the whole thing#and as an eu companion need to start the campaign early#okay spectre of lanyon moor she witnesses a grisly death and is a bit shaken#so everyone is like you clearly need some time to recover#go upstairs and have a rest#short time late she's sneaking out of the house to go do some breaking and entering#gets caught talks about tudor archetecture while she's getting locked up by the owner#who foolishly expects her to stay inside a locked room#but nah she quickly breaks a window and climbs out#(all thats from memory so some details might be wrong because i haven't checked)#ive only listened to three evelyn stories and i know its her#nobody wanders off like her#i love her#okay campaigning over for today

"Durge and Astarion are canon your honor!"
Well canon Durge is a white male dragonborn sorcerer and yet y'all are making cute little drow girlies and sexy little tiefling twinks to get at that extra content so what's the truth?
Oh that your personal preferences are somehow more canon than someone else's because the devs didn't have enough time to write extra content for every companion, leaving an unfair and imbalanced emphasis on the one character that did get extra content? That you feel your choices are validated because they're reinforced by poor planning/game design? Hmm. Hmm. Hmmmm 🤔
#bg3#bg3 fandom critical#btw i have every iteration of durge x astarion blacklisted because of these sorts of girlies#'my already popular ship is actually canon because the writers felt the need to prioritize the wants of his obnoxious fanbase#instead of spreading the effort evenly!' is not the win you think it is#personally i'd give up all of durge x astarion content for more just REGULAR wyll content like it's unbelievable#more KARLACH and maybe an ending that isn't so fucking SHIT for her??#fuck man even minthara??#astarion girlies get a single critical thinking skill fr fr#also noah fence but 'uwu durge and astarion are narrative foils' is such a braindead take#cuz durge just has the same narrative of breaking free of a higher power that manipulates them as the REST OF THE COMPANIONS#literally none of them are more uwu canon than the others#the only reason you think that is because someone else did the thinking for you and put it in the game and spelled it out for you

people who scream 'dan heng is NOT dan feng whatsoever' yet always tag any dan feng content as 'dan heng'
#im salty#it makes me so mad when people say that dan heng doesnt need to acknowledge anything from his past because he wants to be his own person#but his whole character development IS him trying to understand his past and facing it rather than running away#because he can only move forward as 'dan heng' until he comes to terms with all of this#and it doesn thelp than this whole debate/situation exists in such a grey area#there is no yes/no answer and its SUPPOSED to be muddled but fandom can't wrap its head around it#the animated short was so fucking good and beautiful and i cried like 1000 times but god it killed the fandom's critical thinking skills hf#like. do people now know that the dan feng that dan heng was fighting was based on dan heng's own perception of the man#everything that dh knows about df was literal propaganda fed to him by the preceptors while in the shackling prison#dan heng has NO idea what kind of person dan feng was really#which is why we have his (and jingliu's) companion mission where he willingly looks into df's past#he can't be his own person and move forward until he understands his past. like. c'mon people he literally says that in the animation short#'you may be my past but you will not be my future'#be normal about this post or ill come for your knee caps (will block you)#fool on the astral express

So, I was rewatching clips of a Church on Ruby Road, and I got to one of the ending, specifically: the clip where it's revealed Mrs Flood can see the camera and goes "Never seen a Tardis before?"
But I realized something. And I don't know if I'm just immensely late on this but I've literally seen no one else talk about it, but check this out
She's looking into the camera. She's looking directly at it while Abdul has a crisis about it disappearing. SHE LITERALLY MOVES CLOSER TO HIM TO GET A BETTER LOOK AT THE CAMERA.
What the fuck.
#doctor who#mrs flood#the church on ruby road#doctor who spoilers#probably don't need to tag that but I'm being safe rather then sorry#i saw it in a thumbnail for the clip on yt and i was like#is she fucking looking at the camera#yeah she was#it's the fact she moves to get a better view of it that breaks me#WHO ARE YOU#she can't be anyone we know#or anyone who knows the doctor#otherwise she probably wouldn't have gotten upset about it being parked there#like any companion who sees a police box in the middle of the street#would immediately go 'ah the doctor's botched the parking job'#but she only reacts after seeing it move#meaning she likely only recognizes it as 'a tardis' or at least has only heard about 'the tardis' and not what it looks like

da*2. is a game
#more thoughts below here be warned. i really enjoyed the introductory sequence and how it juxtaposed varric's dramatized version with the#real sequence of events. i also enjoy how they tied in lothering. imo id say the game has a really solid start. i also really enjoy the#visuals and stylistic direction of the game- i'd even go so far as to say i largely prefer it to inquisition (its just the oilyness LMFAO)#esp with the qunari and how they look.. less so with the proportions of the elves* (something that really irked me in inquisition is how#harold is forced to have the very clearly downscaled proportions while the elvish npcs (solas sera and basically every other elf#you interact with) dont have the slouched shoulders and very? crumpled looking frame). dont like that youre forced only to play as a human#though its very obvious that they were not given a reasonable amount of time to actually finish the game because OH MY GOD the reused#locations. the story was fairly solid at the start but the game is incredibly short (im in act 3 at the end of 2 days of playing) esp in#comp to origins. everything feels vaguely disconnected in a way thats uncharacteristic of bioware with the context of having played dao dai#and some of me1. and introducing the timeskips did Not help. i can see why people got absolutely attached to the companions however#with the system of friend + rival and it producing dichotomic benefits. rivalmances apparently existing also creates a really fun way of#interacting with your companions. i like anders#anyways completely unprompted thoughts on da2 over thank you for your time (i just needed somewhere to put them or i would go insane)

... so anyway, I'm a lying liar who lies about not drawing for the rest of the month. If I say I'm gonna "doodle something real quick and then write", grab my access to Clip Studio Paint and all my tablets, and run.
One is a sketch/color test based on a scene in the staircase fic and inspired heavily by Eyvind Earle's work for Disney's Sleeping Beauty. The other is me feeling a bit spicy and also letting my brain build up on a sliver of an idea. But it's mostly me feeling a little bit spicy, as a treat.
#shirozora draws#dinluke#lukedin#skydalorian#din djarin#luke skywalker#the mandalorian#star wars#the truth is I wanted to test CSP's companion mode where I scan in a QR code to turn my phone into an extension#I kept losing connection to the test failed hard... and then I didn't stop drawing#I actually have multiple sketches but we only need to worry about these two#anyway we are really seriously done doodling#I have a goddamn fic to finish writing before NaNoWriMo starts#which I'm using to finish writing Part 1 of the 3quelfic#so that maybe after my december disneyland trip I can start posting the 3quelfic? maybe?????#sorry print shop project but you are postponed until I'm back on schedule with all these goddamn words

Thinking about Lan Sizhui teaching Jin Ling how to play guqin.
Thinking about Jin Ling absolutely bored to tears by the fundamentals until he hears how beautifully Lan Sizhui plays and suddenly takes an interest (in the guqin, definitely the guqin, he’s interested in the guqin only, okay??)
Thinking about Jin Ling practicing outside of classes because he wants to impress Lan Sizhui by how much he’s improved and wants to make him proud and wants to see his face light up with a smile—I mean, what? No no no, he just wants to show initiative to learn, that’s all there is to it, nothing more. Nothing at all.
Thinking about Lan Sizhui finding Jin Ling asleep on his guqin after a night of wearing himself out with extra practice and gently waking him up to safely escort him back to his room so he doesn’t get caught by their seniors. Meanwhile, Jin Ling sleepily leans against him on the walk back to his room because it’s normal, he’s just tired, it’s obviously normal because Lan Sizhui slips his hand into his and smiles and Jin Ling’s heart feels like it’s on fire. Oh no.
Thinking about Jin Ling opening up to Lan Sizhui about his nightmares from all the trauma he’s endured and Lan Sizhui staying to play guqin for him until he falls asleep, each note chasing away every bad dream that tries to disturb him.
Thinking about them practicing guqin alone together the next day. And the day after. And the day after that—and they really are practicing but it’s a little hard to focus when Lan Sizhui keeps putting his hands over Jin Ling’s to move them to the correct strings, and Jin Ling’s face is a breath away from Lan Sizhui’s every time he leans over to help him.
It’s just guqin practice, that’s all there is to it, perfectly normal. 🩵💛

I think Lance should get like the meanest, most evil Earth cat in existence (think Becky Apples from Centaurworld) and also the biggest rose tinted glasses ever because he genuinely believes that Mr Cutie Paws has never done and would never do anything wrong and i think said cat should tolerate him and ONLY him and I think the only other person making an effort to bond with said cat is Shiro who recognizes the bloodlust in its eyes but damn it! Every kitty deserves a chance!
#It is important to me that you know it is really just a normal cat from Earth who is also just very evil#Also for the record i dont think all or any cat is evil or even mean and in fact can be great companions if you know how to bond with them#I just need this particular cat to be evil for the Funnies#Lance has decided his Little Guy has never done anything wrong ever while Shiro has decided said Little Guy is a war criminal but its ok#Little Guy has permission. It can commit as many crimes as it wants. As a treat <3#Ironically the only other creatures this cat tolerates are Allura's space mice#Lance: look at the pictures of my little Baby boy! Isnt he adorable 🥰🥰#Hunk: You are laughing. Your bastard baby boy just finished terrorizing Keith and you are laughing#Meanwhile Shiro whenever the cat is airjailed for being an asshole: Free my man. He did all of that but i dont care#lance mcclain#lance voltron#vld lance#voltron legendary defender#voltron#vld#takashi shirogane#voltron shiro#shiro voltron#shiro vld#empty thoughts

"if you fancy Astarion, you might want to consider therapy. He's so damaged I must have him! Enjoy the fantasy and then call a therapist. It's a two step thing and it's very important you do both." - Amelia Tyler what do your narrator eyes see? 😂😂😂
#ohohooooohoo the little random tidbits devs and voice actors have dropped about his companion arc is making me NERVOUS#just throwin out some meta thoughts here#in order for astarion to *get rid of* the tadpole; cazador *has* to die first. like i'll bet my left tit this is conditional#since cazzy is apparently a control freak he might be enemies w the mindflayers/absolute cult bc ''bleh bleh my city''#i think its entirely possible that we could ally w cazador against the absolute; this would like have to result in astarion attacking tav#im just worried it might be like; you have to at least temporarily side w the absolute if you kill cazzy?#idk! idk!#and like i do think there will probably be a 3rd option of like 'i hate both these groups kill them both' but man.#and then there's whatever is going on w his ''this soul is not for sale except in the realm of the undead'' stamp#like are we gonna have to go the there? wherever the fuck that is?#pls amelia i am begging on my knees i need a sign! of hope!#bc now the hug and hand holding in the trailer is making me think larian is trying to trick me into believing he'll be okay#only to hit me with a devastating ending(s) no matter what#idk. man. i read astarion's writer was fanes writer. idk dos2 but like i am aware of what......happened w that 'romance'#pls i need a sign larian#i am so sick of the bioware style romances! the morrigans! the solases ! the unresolved endings of it all!

"-the real end for me was Ostagar. What about you, Carver? You were there. Do you feel something similar?"
"No."
"All right, then. Bit of a tit, your brother."
Yes, Aveline, Carver's a tit because he doesn't feel the same way as you do about Ostagar and being forced to flee his homeland, nor does he want to casually discuss the trauma of it in the middle of the barracks with you. Right, he's definitely the ass here 😑
#da2#dragon age 2#dragon age#carver hawke#aveline vallen#i have so much beef with aveline it's no longer funny it's just maddening#especially when it comes to her and carver like don't even get me started on the whole guard application thing okay i *will* scream#it's not wonder carver doesn't like talking to most of the other companions or why he comes off so hostile when they talk to him#he gave aveline a simple answer and she's just like 'hey hawke your brother's a bit of a tit' like what did he do to you???#and it sucks because aveline's literally the only other person carver could relate to about ostagar but she's so... Like That y'know?#i need a dedicated 'defend carver' button that hawke can hit at all times because there are so few opportunities to do so#and yeah i know carver can be an ass but that's my brother okay
