31 Days of Dragon Age

Oct 09 - Favorite Awakenings companion

NATERSSSS! Nathaniel Howe is probably one of my all-time favourite Dragon Age companions overall. I think the way he was introduced is so unique, I mean, you've just been through Origins and dealt with his asshole father so you have sort of a biased view on the family. And ESPECIALLY as a Cousland like holy shit he had your whole family killed and now you're standing in front of his son and holding his fate in your hands? It's wild.

And he's such a grump but he's also like... so funny lol. He has the most bizarre comments as you're wandering around ("I fell down a flight of stairs once. They looked much like this particular set of stairs." ?!?! bro)

Also, I find it so fascinating that he was basically the one who convinced Justice to consider switching to a living human host and consequently inhabiting Anders. They have a few conversations about it and it's just so interesting especially because Nathaniel really doesn't know THAT much about magic/spirits/etc. so he's just like "yeah, go for it, no big deal!" lmao.

Thank GOD for those new promo pics.... I've always said this was the way I picture Aziraphale in modern day if he'd been the demon instead, and now I have the perfect angel!Crowley to match!

HC they first met a year or two after Yelan got her vision; post fighting the in abyss but when Kaeya was still navigating his identity from Kaeya, Brother and Right hand of Diluc Ragnvindr to Kaeya Alberich, Cavalry Captain and Quarter master of the Knights of Favonius.

so infuriating to me the way ambessa, jinx, viktor, and jayce COMBINED have less anti posts than caitlyn fucking kiramman. they have less than HALF of caitlyn's anti posts! i was curious so i looked up the tags, and here's what i found

anti ambessa medarda: one post

anti jayce talis: one post

anti viktor: six relevant posts (the others are about different characters named viktor)

anti jinx: three relevant posts (the others are about different characters named jinx)

anti caitlyn kiramman:

i'm not wasting my time counting that shit. but clearly and obviously it's more than 11 posts. oh and it's not including posts from the many antis i have blocked.

i'm tired of caitlyn antis. if y'all are shitting on her and not showing that same fucking energy for characters like ambessa, jinx, viktor, and jayce? you can kindly fuck right off. now excuse me while i individually block every one of these people.

Wild how we know that Elizabeth Woodville was officially appointed to royal councils in her own right during her husband’s reign and fortified the Tower of London in preparation of a siege while 8-months pregnant and had forces gathering at Westminster “in the queen’s name” in 1483 – only for NONE of these things to be even included, let alone explored, in the vast majority of scholarship and historical novels involving her.

It's crazy how Ajax and Swan are just different sides of the same coin.

Both are super protective of the people they love. Both take the lead when Cleon is not there. Both have no problem fighting their way through most things. Both mask their fear behind things easier to deal with.

The difference is, Swan is filled with a sadness, a melancholy that she have to carry without letting it influence her decisions too much. While Ajax is filled with an anger that dictate most of her actions.

One sees life as a long dangerous path you have to walk through carefully while the other sees it as an endless battlefield you have to constantly fight to survive.

Hey, what do you think is the connection between the extra panel of Yoshida standing in front of the tree (probably Ageing domain?) and Asa standing in almost the same exact way in front of the school when she was feeling extra down? In both of these times Yoshida showed up.

Hi anon, sorry for my late reply!

I need to kind of rearrange my mind for this because it's been a while since the last time I went to put my thoughts down.

In his inside cover, Yoshida is standing alone, surrounded by overgrowing plants. He is bowing to a tree while wearing ambiguous uniform (since we don't know whether he's in his gakuran or his Public Safety uniform; and I think that's intentional because both are still uniform, a symbol of him "blending in society" and obedience). This is a symbol of his resignation to Public Safety order ever since the start of the volume (church arc).

And here is Asa, also doing the same pose. In fact she's actually the one doing it first in part 2. I honestly see this as her habit to bow down everytime she gets sad or in the verge of giving up. We see her did this for several times throughout part 2.

So, about the connections, I think both convey the same message of giving up. However, I want to take it further by saying it as also a symbol of how similar they really are. Or you can say the popular word for it, parallelism.

... that I'm sure will be explored more in the future given enough time, if Fujimoto didn't change his mind.

sherlock & co podcast is so fucking bad but so fucking popular. is it an industry plant or what. we listened to the first episode and had to pause so much to complain about it it took us 2 hours to get through (it's 30 minutes long). everything about it is so miserable i don't understand what people see in it.

hi im ranting (positively! this game kills me but in a good way) about breath of the wild again

i know it's controversial but i love the way the story of the game is told. because you start the game in the middle, perhaps near the end, of the story. the game is entirely through link's perspective and he wakes up knowing and remembering nothing. in turn, the player starts off knowing nothing. the past is revealed as the story goes along, and the player learns about the past and about the land as link does. there are little tidbits about hyrule and about the calamity scattered across the land. an old woman in hateno village tells you of an age of desolation that she grew up in. the travellers you see on the road are younger people because they're described by older characters as more bold, whereas the older characters grew up being told to never leave the village, it's too dangerous outside (compare this even to tears of the kingdom, where travellers are more common because the land has been safer. even older characters have left their home to travel elsewhere (not including the lurelin villagers)). battlefields are still strewn with old rusty weapons and deactivated guardians that no one but monsters will go near. myths and legends about the princess and hero have been passed down, to the point where their legitmacy is questioned and everyone has a different opinion on them.

it's environmental storytelling. it's things like seeing drawings and a bow in zelda's study and seeing a child reading a storybook with a hero that wears a blue tunic similar to link's. it's the stories that the villagers share about old myths that turn out to be true. it's the ruins scattered across the land, long since overtaken by monster camps but still unmistakably being houses that people once lived in. it's the utter lack of civilization anywhere remotely near the castle and the feeling of dread in the ruins of the town that surrounds it. it's a kingdom entrenched in its past, with no ability to move away from it until the calamity is finally defeated.
