#then came Dorian

[invinciblerodent]

For the record, I just saw a post about someone complaining how people will hate Lae'zel but love Gale, and I feel like I should say it preemptively- I don't hate Lae'zel, or any other character for that matter. They're all great. Gale just happens to be just embarrassingly my type of character.

It's my curse, in a world full of interesting and novel character concepts I'm doomed to fall for the emotionally tortured, smart-mouthed mage with facial hair over and over again.

i am losing my entire shit right now, this single panel caused a nuclear disaster in my ig comments when someone said "halsin just saying 'astarion's partner' instead of his name feels icky"

which is such a fucking reach by itself but descended into this in about 5 seconds

[ID: A digital illustration of Dorian Storm and Orym from Critical Role. There are four illustrations of Dorian and Orym, all framed in pink hearts with a few smaller hearts around them. In the top left heart they're kissing. In the bottom left heart their hands are touching, their pinky and ring fingers slightly interlocked. In the top right heart they're facing forwards with their cheeks pressed together, looking at each other. In the bottom right heart they're looking towards the viewer and smiling. End description.]

(Dorian belongs to the wonderful @mmothmanners )

tbh i love it when people talk about subsisting on dorym "crumbs" because the thing is, dorian's incredibly long pause followed by a curt "we'll talk about that later" was SO loaded it is not at all a crumb. that's at least a scone. stop calling our scones cumbs and enjoy this pleasant afternoon tea with me, will you

"orym's vision is going to be him getting romantically rejected by dorian" no i think orym is going to see himself gutting imogen like a fish with no remorse. like there's mild anxiety (a hot guy not liking you) and then there's deepest darkest fears (harming your loved ones and failing your own morals).

the fact that orym was working up the courage to go to dorian’s room for 20 minutes… and then immediately admits that he’s been working up the courage for 20 minutes.

he has such a hard time opening up, but once he’s made the decision and the opportunity is there? it’s an instant shift as he can finally put down the weight of hiding anything he’s feeling from dorian.

I don't think Dorian wants the stewardship. I never thought he wanted the stewardship.

They're his characters and Robbie can do what he wants but when Dorian says "I'm free" it kills me inside because you can hear the relief but you can also hear the lingering dread of "for now".

And when orym asks about the future Dorian only wants "day by day" which is totally fine in the short term. But when time comes and his parents are old and grey and tired, will he return? He is next in line. Will his parents do their damnedest to stay alive as long as possible so Dorian can be free for as long as he can? Will Dorian come home and gently coax the stewardship from them when they are no longer fit?

Who will be the next Firstsun?

I will never emotionally recover from this

To the people complaining about how the word nonbinary, a word dating back to early 1940s, is "too modern" to be used in Dragon Age, here is a quick list of some other modern words in invented in the 1900s that I found in Dragon Age games! I expect you to be equally angry at these:

Surreal

Escalate

Empathy

Lifestyle

Snarky

Cool

Breakthrough

Dysfunction

There's also the fact that they use our english words for the days of the week, despite most of those being named after gods that don't exist in Thedas.

But we're all more than happy to either ignore all this or headcanon in different origins for all these words. So why don't people have the same attitude towards the word "nonbinary"?
