I just explained the 9/11 to twilight to 50 shades pipeline, the "I was sold to the one direction by my mum" fanfictions and Jackson Wang throwing parties as a trope and plot device thing to my dad and he looked very confused and concerned.

Now I was on the verge of explaining the Snape-wives and what's omegaverse too, but I decided I have tormented this man enough for one evening.

I'd like to clarify I mean the story that the "Who was phone" phrase is paraphrasing, but fully recognize that the urban legend was never as widely circulated as the meme.

Remember! If you share, more answers will be there!

I kinda hate that stupid "throw all the other lgbt flags on top of the lgbt flag instead of just educating people that it's an lgbt flag not just gay" but I'd be lying if I said it didn't bring some comfort when I see it.... especially with more and more transphobes from the woodwork using their lgbt status to excuse themselves..... like yeah I guess it is kinda nice 😓

i give you "close" and "care" for the fanfiction word game

Oooh hello! I was actually worried I wasn't going to be able to find anything for these, but I did.

Close:

Every few seconds she’d open her mouth as if she were about to say something, and then she’d look around, close her mouth, and shrink ever so slightly back into her seat.

Care:

He had not noticed that the three others were panting from their unexpectedly long walk to get to this room. He also didn’t really care.

I gave two sentences on the last one because otherwise I feel like that's mean 💀 These are also sentences that have not yet been touched by Dani, so there are probably many grammatical errors.

Send me a word and if it's in my WIP I'll post the sentence.

WHAT DO YOU ASSOCIATE MY MUSE WITH? (  colors, animals, places, flowers, songs etc literally anything that reminds you of them or their aesthetic  )

[aeterna-auroral-avenger]

Oh my gosh I associate you with the color red for some reason! and also Scott Lang totally and the city of Cincinnati?? idk????

Dude, I'm laughing so hard because to me Cincinnati came out of nowhere. Like I guess you mean the Cincinnati Reds?? Which is a baseball team, and I do like baseball very much. But I have no affiliation with Cincinnati whatsoever except living like 4 hours away from the city.

So thank you for the laugh because today has been crazy.

But I love red. It's such a pretty color, and I definitely love Scott Lang. So both of those are perfect too. And baseball. So overall, I'm loving your associations very much! They make me smile! Thank you!

TELL ME WHAT YOU ASSOCIATE WITH ME: COLORS, SONGS, AESTHETICS, PEOPLE, ANYTHTING

Culture is always created by marginalized people bcus the ruling class is too busy shaming people for blinking wrong to innovate in any way at all

[bibleofficial]

[fortunatefires]

I can't think of the word effervescent without thinking of snails and twilight. I don't even remember the context of whatever fucking post made this connection in my brain. But I know damn well it had to be this god damn site

[bloodmoonclover]

sometimes i’m reminded of deeply evil internet lore from the early 2000s that still structures my subconscious today and. don’t like it!

[antvnger]

A giraffe?? Huh. That’s….that’s an interesting choice, Anon.

But the capuchin monkey, yeah I can see that. And you know you’re the second person who said the color yellow for me? I like it though. I can see why. I guess me and Hope should swap suit colors, huh? No actually I can’t do that I’m too attached to my Ant-Man red.

Theory: Solas isn't doing it to save the elves, he's doing it to save the spirits.

With the new information coming out about Solas's plan in in DAV and the much-memed back and forth between Solas and Varric, I think we may have gotten the wrong end of the stick regarding what is at stake, or why Solas is doing what he's doing. There has been increasing back and forth about whether the Veil should come down in the decade since DAI, but a lot of conversation has focused on a) the collateral damage necessary to do so and b) elven immortality. The assumption being that Solas has decided that any collateral damage (with opinions varying from 'some' to 'apocalyptic' in what they expect that to look like) is worth it to bring back ancient elves, aka 'his people'.

However, repeated dialogues throughout DAI and Trespasser paint a different association - Solas refers to the elves as 'our people' when convenient (eg when trying to get the Inquisitor on side following their first confrontation with Corypheus). When you or other characters ask him about what he considers to be 'his people' he either dodges the question, or to Abelas:

Solas: There are other places, friend. Other duties. Your people yet linger. Abelas: Elvhen such as you? Solas: Yes. Such as I.

While this seems pretty straight forward, it begs the question what the ancient elves, what the Elvhen actually are. Think about the origin of Elvhen as a deliberate identifier, rather than just using 'elves' which Solas repeatedly rejects. Breaking down the word the answer may have been staring us in the face this whole time: vhen is translated to 'people', and El is the root for spirit. I think there is a very good chance Elvhen literally translates to 'spirit people', and that has been the key distinction all this time.

What that functionally meant before the Veil (spirits that chose to manifest personality/bodies, spirits that were bound to bodies, perhaps 'possession' or symbiosis was the norm) is yet to be determined. But the connection to spirits is what Solas considers his people, which is why appeals to save 'this world' will ultimately fail for him, even in a state where he acknowledges mortal beings are 'people':

Inquisitor: We aren't even people to you? Solas: Not at first. You showed me that I was wrong, again. That does not make what must come next any easier. Inquisitor: You'd murder countless people? Solas: Wouldn't you, to save your own?

While many players would consider the current world state 'acceptable' to those living in it, that discounts the perspective of those trapped on the other side of the Veil. The spirits are very clearly suffering, which will not improve while the Veil remains, and it's why Solas can't just live with 'this world'.
