Early 2000s red-headed Disney villains from Texas who look kinda gay.

Op please I beg you can we have some content for this Knave Wrio AU ? Like what’s his relationship with Neuvillette ? How did he end up being the Knave ? Is Peruere now the Warden of Meropide ? IS PERUERE SIGEWINNE’S ADOPTIVE MOTHER ??

Now see the interesting here is, and im gonna borrow this quote from @thatonegreyghost because this is making me insane

BECAUSE BESIDES THE BLOOD MOON THING THEY REALLY COULDVE BEEN EACH OTHER

Im making the decision to pass over the blood moon lineage to Wrio since i doubt Arle couldve beaten Crucabena without it. Other than that they were both basically orphans taken into horrific institutes so..............

Dream to Techno: “I don’t even sleep, but I do have a house.”

Dream to Sam: “I can sleep—I can sleep safely! I can sleep safely and soundly inside the walls of obsidian.”

Well Dream, which is it?

Holding out hope that the writing in veilguard will get more bearable but rook saying to lucanis that it's "not nice that Spite hurt him" and he "shouldn't accept that it’s fine bc it wouldn't be ok if a person did that" like. That is a demon. Built off a single emotion called SPITE. Rook I am finding it really hard to believe that u have lived in thedas for more than 30 seconds.

Soooo let's just say I'm in love with her lmao. I watched Holes for the first time in 13 years cause I never cared for it as a kid and the fact it was so boring to me that I didn't notice her in the first place 🚶‍♀️I've done so many doodles of her (the other many doodles i can't post here unfortunately 😂) and wanted to try my hand at digitally painting her and......I'm astounded honestly, I'm very proud of it!!

veilguard doesnt let you assume or hypothesize ANYTHING by yourself bro...i hate it. immediately after presenting an idea it will provide you with all the possible avenues of thought there is no subtlety to this game

[thunderboltfire]

Noooo Thorne, nooooo! Don't start the report to the rude mustachioed guy with the most outlandish things!

Aaaand she's got Sheparded. The leader of her own faction has found an easy excuse to not get involved.

Sigourney Weaver in Holes gives the same vibes as Bette Midler in both Hocus Pocus films.

On Ferelden Love

So I just found out that Arl Eamon had two dads, and as I’m replaying the games I’m getting the sense that Ferelden just has no stigmas around relationships that other nations seem to have. Like certainly LGBTQ+ people exist everywhere, and nowhere in Thedas do they seem to be actively persecuted/harmed on account of sexuality, but most places seem to treat same-sex attraction as more of a “character quirk” than anything. Tevinter and Orlais seem to be in the same boat that a person, especially in the higher classes, is to marry an opposite-sex partner first and then take care of “personal tastes” on the side. Orlais also seems to have the Social Status of “mistress,” i.e., “officially recognized extramarital female lover of a wealthy/titled man,” but it seems unclear if there is an official equivalent for the lovers of wealthy/titled women. In any case, Orlais certainly has Rules for How Things Are Done, even extramarital affairs; the role of a mistress has a certain set of behaviors and expectations associated with it.

Then, Ferelden. Kingdom of Dogs. At the very least, we know that exclusive, monogamous same-sex partnerships are not strange enough to remark upon; i.e., Wade and Herren in DA:O. Are they married under Chantry law? I don’t think it’s ever confirmed, but I don’t think they couldn’t be. I think it’s notable that Sera, being the only same-sex romance option you can explicitly marry, is Ferelden.

Back to Arl Eamon tho. So yeah he had one mom and two dads, who seemed to all be mutually involved, and he referred to both men as “Father.” The non-nobility father, btw, was named Connor and is the person after whom Arl Eamon named his son. All this leads me to believe that this poly triad was common knowledge, and, like Wade and Herren, was something no one considered strange because Fereldens just Don’t Care About People’s Business. There is even some evidence that King Calenhad, the one who made Ferelden into Ferelden, had a “special friendship” with his advisor Aldenon the Wise. So “special,” in fact, that Calenhad ended up abandoning his life as king and going off into the wilds to search for Aldenon, never to be seen again.

And let’s also note that Bann Teagan, Eamon’s brother, has the option to flirt with a female Warden regardless of origin. The way it’s worded seems to imply he is, at the very least, not opposed to the idea of marriage -- even with a non-human, even with a mage. While we tragically cannot pursue any romance, it does tell us something about the world: while Ferelden royalty is bound by obligation to marry opposite-sex humans of appropriate social caste, it seems that middle-nobility is a bit more flexible.

Since society is still society, and heads of government in a monarchy are expected to produce more heads of government, I would guess that Bann Teagan is expected/required to marry a human woman to carry on the noble line. I would also expect him to be fully aware of this, and so I believe that his flirting with a female Warden, even the playful inquiry about marriage, does not interfere with Teagan’s duty to marry someone else. He was, after all, raised by three parents just like his brother; the remarkable thing here is not the implication of a possible triad, but the implication a possible triad where the word “marriage” applies to multiple partners. Coming from a Bann. Coming from someone in line to be the Arl of Redcliffe.

Could Bann Teagan and his family be outliers? I mean, I guess it’s possible. But also consider, nobility is ALWAYS held to a higher standard than commoners when it comes to “official” relationships. They are expected to keep producing heads of state, after all; they tend to get married younger, have less control over who they marry, and their behavior reflects more on their family. Also consider that the Guerrin bloodlineis highly influential -- the previous Queen of Ferelden was Eamon and Teagan’s sister! While they certainly have the influence to sleep with whoever they like in private, Eamon and Teagan must absolutely marry within acceptable the acceptable social norms of Ferelden. And if the nobility can form triads, including common-knowledge same-sex relationships, that means commoners can probably do all that and more besides.

All this together leads me to believe that the Ferelden definition of love, and even of family, is much more flexible than most nations. While hetero, monogamous marriage is what we see the most of, I’d guess that it’s not the normal relationship type so much as the most common one. I’d go so far as to wonder if maybe there just isn’t such thing as a “normal relationship” in Ferelden; that there are just relationships, and that’s that.

given the current theory is that rt will dress up as the onceler during a special yogs stream, there will certainly be no tumblr during that time. however I will still post horrible posts just in case we have an rt visitor

I have completely forgotten to post this! This was for a secret Santa gift to my cousin, we both share the same love for sigourney weaver so I wanted to make this special painting for her, it took me ages and I kept messing up so much but I think it looks good enough! I printed it on canvas and so badly wanted to keep it for myself lol
