the new witcher reveal is so exciting and is reminding me that i really need to play them and get caught up…but i can’t say i’m not foaming at the mouth because the closer we get to witcher IV being completed, the closer CDPR presumably are to full steam ahead on project orion. and i need that.

"oh i really love xyz character-" really? outside the context of shipping?

I just saw someone on tik tok compare Kirby confirming ace!lucanis is the same as r*wling making dumbledore gay.... like there are so many valid complaints but that is not it

Yeah I think there's a difference between a writer saying "I should have prioritized making it more obvious in the game but since I didn't and someone asked about it I'll share what my intentions were"... and whatever the hell goes on in JKR's head.

Also like. I really don't get how fandom can go from "I hate when Taash says the word non-binary it takes me out of the world" directly to "Lucanis isn't demisexual because he never actually says the word." Honestly I think it's just the same repackaged bigotry, bottom line being "how can we erase these identities?"

The Formless One is the best boss fight ever put in dragon age, not because of the fight itself (it's actually annoying as hell) but for the fact that the damn thing sends you hate mail after you beat it. That's fucking hilarious.

I need everyone who didn’t read the books to know that Felassan (who’s name means slow arrow in elven)

This guy

Who was in several of solas’ memories and has notes around the lighthouse and crossroads

Was in the masked empire. He was a friend and mentor of Brialas and helped her with her efforts to use her relationship with Celene to improve the lives of elves in Orlais (and tried to let her down gently when it became apparent that was not enough).

He refuses to let Briala tell him the code for the eluvian network so that he cannot give it on to Solas. Refusing to tell him would not be enough to keep it from him. When he meets with Solas he tries to convince him that modern elves should be given a chance. Solas murders him, his ally of thousands of years, for this.

In inquisition, Cole says this:

This is what the Betrayal of Felassan represents. Solas murdered his trusted friend and ally because he though modern elves were people whose lives had value.

"Ah. Your distraction worked. Could have set it when we were farther away." / "Désolé. I didn't say it was a good plan."

Viago: I am at a loss for words-! Rook de Riva, narrating: Though he claimed he was speechless, Viago yelled at me for 45 minutes.

is there actually anything more irritating than depression apathy… like why am i sitting here arguing with myself “i kinda wanna play a video game but i kinda don’t because, what, i’m just gonna boot up a game and play it and have fun and close it when i’m done? get real”

romanced lucanis canonically finds listening to rook's voice comforting so now I'm just imagining him sort-of sneakily arranging for my mourn watch mage rook, bellara and emmrich to be in a room together and sitting back with a cup of coffee to listen to the inevitable three hour mage nerds geeking out session that follows (he understands, optimistically, about 10% of anything they're saying at any given time but it's just nice that they're all happy). it's like meditation for him, letting all that magitech babble wash over him entirely uncomprehended. who even needs sleep after that (you still need to sleep lucanis)

Spite was just as confused as Rook was🤣

Edit: I am so sorry that I never did this initially, credit to

new favorite banter just dropped

[variousxcruelties]

Rowan: Spirit of Determination: May your enemies die bitter and in pain Spite: Yes! Good! Lucanis: Don't encourage him.

So Spite was originally a spirit of determination. Good to know.

(You can trigger this in the hall of valor by the rivaini qunari seer named Rowan)
