Tending to the Halla

[vaguely-concerned]

It's really interesting that Wynne actually has quite a measured, bordering on downright sympathetic response to hearing what Jowan did in the prologue -- if the mage Warden says "I still can't believe Jowan was that stupid", her answer is something like a thoughtful "Stupid, or desperate, or merely curious?". She seems to think of Jowan as a kid who got in over his head, rather than any less charitable interpretation. I do believe she genuinely is as against blood magic as she publicly expresses and as the Circle party line demands, but as a private person she clearly has a more nuanced and potentially kinder understanding of the reasons why someone might resort to it, at the very least.

(related: when she says that part about Irving telling her what happened, there's no dialogue option in the first stage of the conversation (except choosing the 'leaving the conversation' one) that doesn't net you +2 approval! no matter how the warden feels about it, she is ready to recieve it. I think that says something sweet about how Wynne conceptualizes younger mages and the honest real affection she has for them. if you didn't snitch on jowan and say you stand by that decision, though? +3 approval, apparently! what Wynne says and what Wynne thinks is not always the same thing indeed, her idea of where personal loyalty and integrity stands vis-a-vis a mage's responsibility to the circle may be more flexible than she'd have people believe, you'll be surprised to learn lol)

I have always liked wynne and found her interesting, in all her hypocrisies and her earnest care, but with slightly older eyes she's extra fascinating to me in the same ways that Iron Bull is -- seeing someone whose mind has had hollows carved out in it by the need for double-think and compartmentalization imposed by the oppressive systems and ideologies they live under, and the quiet fight of the self to still preserve vital parts of itself that the system deems unacceptable in the hidden backstage areas of the soul, as it were. (and for both of them part of that self is love and protectiveness of specific other people, beyond what their 'role' dictates is acceptable for them.) I think Wynne has managed to sneak more of her internal self through the meatgrinder relatively intact than Bull overall, but it's the same logic underlying it, for me, and it makes me feel such intense affection and compassion for them both to see how hard they try

Uhhhhhhhh it's that dragon show

ao3 is down so i’ve been finally imagining httyd au and throwing plot on the walls like spaghetti [in my current half baked plot, it goes like the httyd movie, ren is the chief’s son and he’s currently in jail for being a dragon sympathiser. he’s been working with false on studying dragons but he lies and says she doesn’t know about the dragon sympathising thing. also conveniently iskall’s family died in a dragon attack so he hates dragons and he’s been brought up like a brother with ren (heir in case something happens to ren). false breaks ren out of jail during a dragon attack. ren runs away with his dragon (the dragon is called pamela). iskall becomes heir. false continues being a dragon sympathiser while keeping up appearances so she doesn’t get jailed too. i’ve read enough runaway!hiccup aus to get a vibe of what happens next]

Ooooo if we’re talking Ashikai- what did you think of her Childe inspiration analysis? I’m not asking about how it may or may not apply to ur fic (though that sounds fun if your up for it!! I just love ur star foxes. Then again… not mutually exclusive ig) but what u thought of it!! I hardly get to talk to anyone about them and ooooough theyre such good videos and leave me reeling everytime.

her childe video was so fucking good holy shit. also i absolutely agree, her videos always leave me sitting there like 'holy fuck', even if sometimes i knew half the stuff she was bringing up, but the way she mixes it with the real-life research and stuff has me,,,,,,,, it's so good,,,

i think the only video that never like- surprised me? or told me something i didn't know or hadn't already like- figured out myself? was the latest one, the one about adepti and their visions. but that's bc i've uh. read xianxia before. so like. you read one xianxia, you know how it's going to go. when she said genshin was a xianxia i was like thank you, that's what i've been saying hahah,,, it was still such a good video, i really liked it;;

[tickled-pink-64]

oh wow my first art post here hiiii

*explodes as couldn't think of anything else to say*

[volfoss]

as a guy that loves getting into obscure media that like. maybe 5 people talk about now. it is interesting the difference between consuming media that is SUPER popular and everyone loves your fave (a curse i would never wish upon anyone. the posts will never be good) and a media that like. there is NO ONE actively posting about. it has barely any fan presence online. and honestly its kind of peaceful

Do you have scans of Prima's Dragon Age II Collector's Edition Guide?

i don’t have scans (yet), but you will never believe what arrived in the post literally a few DAYS ago

[goldieclaws]

what if u were a giant world-ending dragon that everyone feared and then grew really attached to a tiny human who thinks ur more cool than scary and then decide u would rather rip the world apart for them above all else 😳😳😳

HYV STOP MAKING ME WANT TO PULL FOR NEUVILLETTE

[foxgloveinspace]

I know that no one will be interested in this, but I decided since I knew I wasn’t gonna get much sleep tonight anyway to stay up and watch that movie. Yeah, so, I finally watched Into The Spider-Verse (yes. The First One) and I really liked it!! Which I knew I would, cause spider-man was my earliest ‘long term hyperfixation’. Now you maybe be wondering why I haven’t watched since it’s been out for *checks the calendar* 5 years. Damn. The answer??? There isn’t one. I have adhd what did you expects?! I bought it yesterday and I procrastinated watching it SINCE I WOKE UP THIS MORNING…. Yesterday morning, now.

I got spoiled for so many things, but yet none of the important parts?? Which is crazy???

Anyway, I bought the combo pack so I’m gonna watch the second one in the morning, good night y’all.

[lonelyrat15]

merlin spoilers so look away if for some reason you haven’t watched it yet but

I had never seen it until this november and i know i’m literally the last person in the world to hop on this long-departed train but i finally finished it today and I’m Sorry why did no one tell me the finale is literally fucking brokeback mountain why did they make this what were they thinking i don’t understand any of this what was the reason why did they ignore arthurian legend in order to make merlin a twink WHY DID THEY DO THAT???? what was their goal? why is the literal plot of this show that merlin was so sickeningly devoted to arthur that he’d rather save him than EVERY SINGLE MAGICAL PERSON IN CAMELOT??? AND WHY WAS HIS DESTINY TO PROTECT ARTHUR SO THAT HE’LL MAKE MAGIC LEGAL BUT THEN HE ENDS UP DYING BEFORE HE CAN EVEN DO THAT??? SO WAS MERLIN’S DESTINY PURELY TO BE IN GAY LOVE WITH ARTHUR????????? WHY DID THEY MAKE THIS

AND ANOTHER THING is this secret neoliberal propaganda because if the point is that they have to wait for LITERAL CENTURIES for arthur to return, then that means that morgana was fully right to have a revolution awpeofijawefpoawiejfwaepfoiawef also why on earth didn’t gwen make magic legal??????? idk maybe it’s incredible satire that just went over my head

why did they make this????1111!???

loved it tho i’ll probs rewatch
