saw your tags on the romance poll dudes edition, im curious how the iron bull romance in your brain differs from the in game one if you wouldnt mind sharing!

hey, thank you so much for the ask!! i'm happy to talk about it, though im not sure i'm going to be the best in wording it, lol

my biggest gripe with the iron bull romance that we have in canon is that i just think its... not pulled off very well. it feels clunky, and a fair bit of the dialogue is more cringe-worthy or red-flagy than it is romantic or hot. i just don't think there were enough moments where the inquisitor and bull sit down and talk about their dynamic for it to be a healthy one to me. they kind of just jump into it with a few vague warnings from bull and then another conversation after they hook-up for the first time. the inquisitor is also locked in as being submissive to bull– he canonically won't switch with the inquisitor and let them take charge because, "it's not what they need.". it feels... idk, icky? for that choice to be made for the inquisitor.

and then, of course, there is the oversexualization/fetishization of the qunari and the racial stereotypes we see attached to them throughout the series. i think making iron bull, the first romancable qunari in the series, have such a sex-focused romance was a mistake. just as i think having taash's romance in datv be the "spicest" is a mistake. no matter how it is written, i think was a mistake. just because iron bull is aware of the stereotypes doesn't mean the fact that he plays into them is written well, i guess is what i'm trying to say. we see this even when dorian and bull get together and their banter surrounding their relationship.

that all being said! the romance In My Brain has more time dedicated to setting up the terms of their dynamic and does not lock the inquisitor in as being submissive. i think there should be some sort of choice between it being strictly sex between bull and the inquisitor, or if it eventually shifts into something else. or even if they start off hooking up and it shifts to not having sex at all but still being in some form of relationship. i know the game is limited for what it can do for various reasons, but i'd like for there to be more choices! and more soft moments. bull actually has a lot of them, but i would like More. i would also like for there to be a proper conversation between the inquisitor and bull about why, exactly, he feels the need to consistently play up the overly sexual/aggressive/clueless persona he presents. or some sort of option to return the care he gives the inquisitor beyond just giving him the dragon necklace. idk! im yapping and im not sure how well im explaining it lol, i'm a better writer than i am an explainer. i just wish it was different

Genuinely intrigued by the potential of Peri and Irep's dynamic but only in a platonic way so I end up not vibing with the fandom's portrayal of it 😔😔😔

(No but listen LISTEN they were kinda-almost-friends when we last saw them in FOP, yeah? Now they're enemies, with both actively fighting each other, and Irep going so far as to try and kill Peri's parents. What happened? When? What influenced it? Did they ever become friends, or did it nosedive the moment the cameras turned off? What about Sammy? How do Irep's parents factor into this? Could it ever be fixed? There's just so much we haven't seen, and romance just feels like too easy a solution to me. Let their friendship be easy to break, fragile. Let them have to work to keep the connection. Fairies and Anti-Fairies are literally made to be opposites, so what happens when two genuinely and truly become friends?)

((and yeah I guess a lot of this could factor into a romantic angle but ALAS the fandom seems to be leaning heavily into the funny toxic yaoi angle 😔 I don't mind it! By all means, please have your very harmless fun! But it ain't my jam :P Perhaps I'll have to write a oneshot myself...))

(((see tags for more rambles i guess. whoops a bitch spoke too much in there as he always does)))

man i love open endings. the fact that thanks to yuuji there might indeed be the next time sukuna talks about in case some idiot decides to eat a finger again. and we need fics where yuuji is that idiot

Great White Shark's grindset is laughing with his full chest at some joke one of his siblings made at Road Rash's expense, then looking over at Road Rash and seeing her visibly angered by the joke, then proceeding the beat the blood and shit out of his sibling like "THINK YOU'RE A FUCKING COMEDIAN DICKHEAD?? IT'S NOT EVEN FUNNY!! 🤬"

thoughts on peter. begs on my knees

PETER IS SO FASCINATING TO ME.. i think he's genuinely one of the more tragic characters in dsaf tbh! nobody like ever really talks about him tho, which is REALLY fucking disappointing to me since i find him to be soooo so so interesting. also this got long so its going under the cut. lol lmfao.

i've always considered him similar to jake in a way. professional, but easy to fall into his emotions and let them get the better of them. in a fucked up way i think he's jake if jake didn't remember his family. slightly unburdened by not remembering what he's lost, but burdened by the fake memories and ideas that fazbenders put in his head. this obviously isn't helped by jack.. existing near him.

i think the fact they at least KNOW about caroline, but not their family, to be really heartbreaking because a lot of peter's life was spent taking care of his family. when his parent's died he was the one who had to take up the mantle first and get a job and take care of jack & dee. in a fucked up way peter automatically became their parent because he was the oldest and they just didn't have any other choice. it severely impacted him and made him feel INCREDIBLY guilty for everything that happened afterwards, even when he didn't remember who he felt guilty about. he tries desperately to keep up a professional and protective appearance but it's near impossible for him because he's just too scarred by everything that happened that, even when he doesn't remember who he's grieving, he still mourns both himself and his family.

tacking onto his guilt, he assumes he's a burden on everyone he meets BECAUSE of the guilt and BECAUSE he can't seem to figure out how to move on from everything that happened to him. he feels too betrayed and hurt by not only fazbenders actions but by himself, because he feels like he's doing a disservice to everyone by not just toughening up. due to this, he puts up that previously mentioned professional and protective appearance, because they believe that if they manage to be nothing but a ''good boss'' then people won't dig into them.

i think i'd be amiss if i didn't mention just how Bad fazbenders fucked him up. so here's that. i think the fact that it was specifically STEVEN of all people who got him phone'd is so fascinating, especially because steven deeply regrets it and points it out as being one of the reasons he's 'unsavable'. steven is kind of seen as being a ''model'' phone guy, so the fact that peter is essentially murdered by someone who's the "perfect" incarnation of what he want to be (professional, protective, lacking in any personal details, less of a person and more of just the general idea of what a "good boss" is) is really interesting to me! in a weird way it kind of tacks more onto the fact that henry himself, as a brand and being, killed him in every way you can kill someone.

i forgot where i was going with this. point being peter is SO neat to me i think hes really underrated and he should also get to kill people Badly

season 2 is gonna be like all ab backstories and like… ik vivs fav backstory is just “daddy issues” so istg if theres another gd character w a daddy issues orgin story imma flip out 😭 like its fine to have that for a character but omg its just bad repetitive writing at this point. (we alrdy have moxie, blitzo, stolas, octavia, charlie, and luna) and probably more i missed.

😬

I believe Alastor does canonically have daddy issues so… we’re shit out of luck unless they changed that. Or if by backstory, they just mean Alastor’s life before he vanished for 7 years.

It’s funny you mention daddy issues because you’re totally right that that’s the tried and true method of getting us to care about characters in these shows, at least as far as the writers are concerned. I’ve debated on making a post criticizing that because I’m just gonna raise my hand and say that exploring Daddy Issues ™ is one of my absolute favorite things in media and fandom, but I have definitely gotten sick of it from Viv’s stuff.

Even I have my limits regarding the complexities of parent-child relationships apparently. Who knew?

Best thing about being a Scooby Doo fan: you can meet some of the nicest people with some really cool ideas and hcs, there's such an abiding love for the franchise, which on its own is just AMAZING, such a wealth of content to dive into, and I haven't even gotten into the fan REDESIGNS and aus and-

Worst thing about being a Scooby Doo fan: people irl in public will come up to you with some of the worst Scooby takes ever (Scrappy found dead in Miami, SDMI revolutionized animation, etc.) and you have to restrain yourself from getting into a fistfight with some rando acquaintance/friend-of-a-friend in public ALL THE TIME 💀
