Very Cool Ways to Celebrate the 4th of July:

Cede the stewardship of the land back to the indigenous nations from whom it was stolen

Equitably redistribute the stolen wealth of the 1% throughout the world

Release the victims of prison industrial complex

Erase all debts

Institute UBI along with safeguards against price gouging

Make housing and healthcare free

Celebrate these changes with a laser show, because fireworks are really terrible for the environment

People you will encounter working at The Bookstore

Little old lady buying a huge stack of the most violent thrillers you can imagine

Person who very tentatively asks if you carry the single most popular book in the store, manages to get the title wrong

Pre-teens who definitely should not be this comfortable in the adult romance section

Man in a cowboy hat and cowboy boots buying cowboy books. This feels right.

Small child who would like to register his dissatisfaction about not getting a toy

Small child who is happy to be getting books, but would like to register his dissatisfaction about not getting a book he's already read fifteen times

Man who calls the store every day to ask if the new issue of his favorite niche magazine is in yet. Being told that you only get shipments Mondays and Thursdays will not deter him

Man who definitely thinks you're too young and female to be recommending him history books

Man who's very enthusiastic about your history recommendations and thinks it's "nice to see young people taking an interest"

Old person absolutely baffled by e-reader, wants your help setting it up

Attractive young man who appears to have exactly your taste in books, and his girlfriend

What to read before The Veilguard drops

Yes people, we have homework. In case you missed it, or need to refresh that memory because hey, it's been a while, here's a quick short list of what to (re)read in preparation for this new entry in the series.

Books:

From Tevinter Nights: Down among the dead men (introduces Emmrich and Manfred), The wigmaker job (introduces Lucanis), The streets of Minrathous (introduces Neve).

The Last Flight, last novel released somewhere around DA: Inquisition. Takes the action to Weisshaupt, Grey Wardens HQ, and jumps between that present and the past explaining how the Griffons became extinct during the Fourth Blight. Will explain where Davrin's griffon came from.

Comics:

Magekiller. It's pretty introductory overall, set around Inquisition but it introduces "magekillers" as a job some people do. While in Tevinter Nights Lucanis is introduced as an Antivan Crow seems he's decided to change careers so it can't hurt to learn a bit about it.

The missing. Gives us Varric and Scout Harding already working together, and introduces us to Neve.

Short Stories:

Posted a while back in the BioWare page for Dragon Age day as crumbs to feast on while we waited, and waited, and waited..I recommend reading all of them simply because most people may have missed them and they add to lore and characters that while not among the new companions may still make an appearance and be relevant in Veilguard.

Of course I recommend reading EVERYTHING if possible, it all adds more layers and flavor and we know Solas is in the details, we can't miss a thing, but I think if you're short on time this counts as light reading enough to know where you'll land when Dragon Age: The Veilguard finally arrives.

[yrsonpurpose]

Please stay gorgeous and strong and unbelievable. I miss you I miss you I miss you I love you. I’m calling you as soon as I send this, but I know you like to have these things written down. A ✿ / ❀

[lily-s-world]

—I can’t match you for prose, but what I can do is write you a list.

[incomingalbatross]

Purposes for a time loop:

to put the character in time-out until they rethink their choices

to break them. over and over. until the endlessness circles back around to putting them back together

to give them another chance, and another, and another, while they keep clinging to this day until they can finally FIX it

to make them accept that they will never fix it

to give them a consequence-free bubble and study their behavior in it

to make them shoulder everything in perpetual isolation

to make them find out who around them will trust them, and how much, and why

[dear-ao3]

tell me about sir lewis hamilton’s best looks, if you would

andie you little shit

this is a very incomplete list

Companions That Suffered More Than Jesus

Feel free to add onto this list, since it's off the top of my head and therefore incomplete:

Ian: There is like an entire subgenre of EU that is Pure Historicals Where Ian Suffers Greatly

Steven: A good number of the people he traveled with died horribly

Dodo: If Who Killed Kennedy is canon than traveling with the Doctor completely ruined her life and destroyed her sanity.

Jamie: Got mindwiped, The Indestructible Man happened to him

Zoe: Same as Jamie, though The Indestructible Man went slightly better for her, since she avoided a complete mental breakdown.

Adric: His life sucked and then he died thinking he'd failed to save the world and that his Space Dad didn't love him.

Nyssa: Lost her entire planet and the Master started walking around in her dad's corpse.

Tegan: Mara possessions, getting the worst of 5's bullshit, eventually left due to trauma.

Turlough: The King of Terror. I could list more but isn't being the only character in any Doctor Who media to be anal probed enough?

Peri: Season 22 could be called The Perils of Peri tbh, has to deal with every creep and pervert in space-time and 6's bullshit, usually at the same time. Sorta dies, but ultimately even the sweet release of death was denied to her and she ended up marrying a warlord played by Brian Blessed.

Jack: Immortality just means getting to die in every conceivable way.

Martha: Had to put up with 10's bullshit for way too fucking long.

Rory: How many times did he fucking die again?

Bill: Got cyberconverted

NOTE: There are more men than women on this list. My guess is that writers feel more comfortable torturing men than women, so they get tortured more.

Also, there's a lot of EU media I haven't experienced, so I'm obviously missing a lot. The more batshit EU media that I am aware of was obviously factored in, but it's mostly PDA novels and Short Trips, which aren't the most popular EU media out there.
