it's rook wednesday, but unfortunately I've been struck down with illness for days now and writing these words in one of my precious few moments of lucidity. I will post something once I'm not actually about to die from whatever this is.

I really don't understand how "without getting kudos or comments a fanfiction author is going to assume that people who clicked their fic didn't like it" became a controversial take.

I don't know why some people think an author should imagine, or guess that people who click their fic enjoyed it it when nobody is telling them that.

If you're re-reading a fic constantly, or leaving it up in your tab so that it re-loads every day for a hundred days the author is not going to know that unless you tell them. They'd love to hear it. It would make their day.

And if you don't tell them you liked their fic, there's no reason for them to assume you did.

The reason my rural, former-east german community is so accepting definitely has to do with the annual drag show we put on during the carnival season

I love you, middle-aged mothers who rock up to the bar looking like Bruce Springsteen in bandanas and leather jackets 💛

Will never be normal about this theme of how war and subjugation destroys you, crushes your spirit and not only dehumanizes others in your eyes but yourself in your own eyes.

- Endgame, after Solas and Rook join up-

Rook: Ok hold on wait a minute. So, you were seeing me through Varric anytime I came to talk to him right?

Solas: That is correct.

Rook: So were you there when-

Solas: When you burst into the infirmary and asked Varric if Anders ever shared any possessed abomination sex tips?

Rook: ....

Rook: ....

Rook: ....

Rook: Thank you for the advice all the same.

Solas: Of course.

rook: why are the elven god's free and unleashing blight upon thedas? can they even be stopped? why are you inside my head, what is going on???

solas:

i know this has been talked about before but I CANNOT stop thinking about solas saying "please, rook, I do not wish to fight you"

like???

this is a man who has constantly betrayed, injured, and even killed his closest friends and confidants over and over and over again for thousands of years. he killed (or tranquilized) his oldest friend and former general just because he said "hey maybe people deserve rights" and he practically killed one of the last remaining embers of the woman he used to love. the woman he used to be conpletely beholden to. the woman he literally BURNED OFF OF HIS FACE so he could have enough power to tear down the veil.

and yet

he still refuses to hurt rook, and only lays a hand on them out of pure desperation during the sacrifice/worst ending when he literally has no other choice.

AND EVEN IN THAT ENDING he could have just turned them to stone and plucked the dagger out of their hand like he did to their companions but he DIDNT

he wanted to see the old world restored with them. if rook wasn't there to see it too, then what was the point?

even if your rook has a primarily negative/hostile relationship with him HE STILL DOESN'T KILL THEM!! HE STILL WANTS THEM TO LIVE!!!

if it really came down to it, though, solas probably would have killed them in order to tear down the veil and "fix" his mistake, but i KNOW that rook's death would have been one of, if not his biggest regret.

idk... i just think it's really interesting how solas becomes so obsessed with rook in his own way, more than almost anyone else we've seen him interact with. he could have killed them at any time, turned them to stone as soon as elgar'nan was defeated, but he didn't. he wanted them to see the old world restored with him so badly that it inevitably lead to his downfall.
