Watching ill-informed people trying so hard to be transphobic about the school shooter yesterday and continually use the right pronouns would be funny if it weren't incredibly depressing

What a strange group of friends

As an adult, I can confirm that if there’s any middle school relationship that can make it to marriage, it would be Lumity

King: "I can't wait to see a real life minecart chase!"

King: "Guess minecart chases are a lot more dangerous than video games make them seem."

To be fair, that's the typical outcome of most video game minecart chases too.

i know earlier you were asked what your *favorite* fish was but do you have any fish that uou just really hate. just a really bad fish?

hmm I cant say that I do. I certainly dislike invasive species of fish like the asian carp and the sea lamprey, but I only dislike them being where they are negatively impacting ecosystems. like I actually really like sea lamprey, just not in canada.

and as for the asian carp. its literally not even their fault! in the 70s they were having issues keeping algal blooms under control and it was messing up stuff for wastewater treatment plants which was a huge issue. so they got the bright idea to take the asian carp to north america and introduce them into the ecosystem so that they could eat the algae, since that is their main diet. naturally the overabundance of food caused them begin their own little baby boom, and start to out compete other fish in the area. and by the time they realised they had fucked up the asian carp had already spread to multiple different areas.

I honestly don't think I'm capable of hating a species of fish, like they all do their own thing and have their own merit. some of them are kinda fugly but I think that adds to their charm. like take the bump head parrot fish, theyre ugly for sure but they're also an important part of the reef ecosystem. heres pic to prove the ugliness, they kinda look like if the nerd emoji had a goose egg.

(theyre also endangered in the south pacific thanks to overfishing)

but yeah my point is that I dont have a most hated fish, not even the sunfish despite their objective uselessness. thanks for asking tho lol!

The reality of the situation is probably just dev time crunch mismanagement for the choice thing cause nobody who's in a management position at Bioware has ever been competent but as long as they're publicly saying it's cause codex entries are disrespectful and too many choices confuses people who've never played before I'll engage with those points genuinely.

Duncan, in his dying moments: At least I know…Ferelden is in good hands…

The Mayor of Redcliffe: Grey Wardens! Our town is overrun by vicious undead. We fear we won’t last another night.

Frey: Damn, that sucks. Not really seeing how it’s my problem, though.

The Mayor: But-

Frey: So yeah, good luck with that. Peace ✌️

it would be funny if naming kids after characters from tragedies was common as a good luck thing in the orphan country verse.

     I’ve been pretty deep into the Masked Empire while noting a few things of how Sayuri will proceed in Dragon Age. One tidbit that was vastly interesting was the blurb that there are Orlesian nobles who do not partake in wearing a mask as a political statement of counter cultural act. Due to living on the outskirts within a more rustic community && essentially coming from the countryside, there was a time Sayuri was unmasked. Her pension for grandeur is to conceal that portion of herself from whom she views as a trembling rabbit trying desperately to claw upwards in the grand game without evening knowing she was a contender.

     Hence, her accent is considered ‘improper’ among the aristocracy of Val Royeaux && there a few times during Inquisition it is pointed out she speaks with lilt that is not customary. The first instrument she learned to play was the lute, typical for a bard, though her brief tutelage at The University of the Orlais was to assure her knowledge of cultural influence, art, along with music. In this instance she learned to play the lyre && harp. Though, due to the more liberal atmosphere she often clashed with other students over faith, morality, along with ideals && philosophy. Everything about Sayuri is the utmost lie but it is truth if one reads between the lines.

       She is Celene’s darling, but it brings her no joy, it is only the approval && trust of the Inquisitor that brings her to shine with brightness. Narrative wise, she remains a foil of Solas in such love; it is purely platonic but transcends the word altogether, it is pure && raw. Sayuri will mention in passing about being a small rabbit amongst a sea of swaying gold fields, but now, she is a she-wolf amongst the most vicious of vipers in jewels && lace. Where later, she softens to proclaim her love stems from knowing there is a place in Skyhold where she may rest, close her eyes with no fear of a dagger, no need to show her fangs. If one listens, they can hear her in the earliest of hours, singing softly to awaken the Inquisition && allies.

      Whatever her lady Inquisitor beckons, she will hold it like a hymn, tighter && defying the nation of Orlais if she must. Anyway, this mostly to state a few things, she was a student of the Orlasian University briefly but alas, successful. Sayuri was not of influence or money, she obtained it for her own family’s sake && while viewed as Celene’s pet, she fiercely defies all rumors during Veilguard to stay by the Inquisitor’s side. Her faith cannot be shaken, it is the fuel, fire, along with the executioner that shall be her end, but if one can soften her they will know she is the voice of Andraste - perfuming the air with her song.

Like how many times do I have to talk to my 84 year old grandpa about the uselessnesses of the supreme court in his lifetime before its genuinely torn down as a structure of power
