i really don’t think it’s “typical dragon age fandom nonsense” for people to be genuinely upset about the world state choices. combat, level design, art direction, gameplay gimmicks, those have all varied across each dragon age game. the one thing that’s remained constant are nods to our previous choices.

i wasn’t expecting my HoF to come riding in on a griffon, but i can’t find a monument dedicated to warden tabris somewhere around the anderfels? lucanis couldn’t have some lines about the time that one arainai boy was stirring up trouble in antiva city? you’re gonna tell me that making a mage the new divine wouldn’t have some impact on nevarra and antiva? on the anderfels, the supposed most devout militant andrastian nation in thedas? you’re saying nobody in the north is paying attention to who rules orlais or ferelden? come on.

So story time. I’m on a competitive weightlifting team (for fun) and that means I spend a lot of time around many very straight men (which truly could be its own story series) but today we had some downtime and were bored so we were talking about opinions we have on shows and one of them turns to me and goes, “I bet you have some really good Phineas and Ferb takes,” because I am nothing if not, incredibly predictable. So I gave some of my milder hot takes (because I did not know how safe the space was) and he goes, “cool, mine is that Perry and Doof are in love with each other.”

Y’ALL. THE WAY I SWIVELED AROUND SO FAST. Like I need you guys to understand this is a man who does Olympic-style weightlifting at the national level, has a full beard, and religiously eats a pound of beef a day to meet his protein goals. I was like Owen what the fuck and he was just sitting next to me, grinning, and watching me vibrate at a speed known only to autistics as I struggled to string together two coherent thoughts that weren’t holyshitholyshitholyshit.

And when I finally managed to get a thought together I expressed how shocked I was, and this man just goes, “well of course I ship them, I’ve seen the show.”

No one asked but post-canon established Polytrix owning a personal aquarium headcanons go:

• Look man, they’re THE kpop global sensation of all time. They canonically live in a Korean Avengers Watchtower for goodness’ sake! Nobody can tell me they wouldn’t transform one of the many floors of their uber penthouse to a personal aquarium

• Yes the entire floor is dedicated to housing their various aquatic pets and yes they call it the Ocean Autism Floor (shoutout Zoey for the name)

• Speaking of Zoey, she would extensively talk about how one of her favorite spots in all the world is the Monterey Bay Aquarium and how she wishes she could visit it more often because it was such a comfort spot for her the small handful of times she’s visited it growing up, and Rumira instantly wanted to create a place Zoey can experience a fraction of that joy right in the comfort of their own shared home. It was originally just going to be a large fish tank containing some of her favorite species (that girl has marine bio autism and you can NOT tell me otherwise) but the passion project eventually grew to contain a whole multitude of various animals after Zoey got Rumira interested in aquatic animals through all the nature docs, reels, etc etc she’d have them watch with her.

• Thus, what started as just one large fish tank grew into an expansiveeee personal aquarium fully staffed with expert vet techs, enrichment providers, cleaners, etc etc because again, HUNTR/X can very easily afford this and what girlypop would NOT fully realize their exotic pet power fantasy if they had HUNTR/X’s resources?

• Oh you know the celebratory snack party went absolutely CRAZYSTYLE once the city approved all the permits for turning an entire floor of their mega tower into a personal aquarium >:) Zoey had been filling notebook after notebook after notebook with all the critters she plans to finally own >:D

• ^^^^ Rumira are endlessly endeared by Zoey’s boundless excitement and it’s actually incredibly sweet how happy they get from seeing how delighted Zoey is whenever she’s watching the inhabitants of one tank or another, definitely no regrets there! Zoey is hugging both of them so so tight with her frame trembling from pure Special Interest Joy™️ and they’re both veryyy happy to squeeze and cuddle her back to provide some nice pressure and warmth in order to help ground + anchor their gf from being too overwhelmed by euphoria (yes I’m projecting some of my autism tidbits onto Zoey, sue me)

• For Zoey, it’s like, well okay. Some people read out loud to dogs to get over their reading anxiety because a dog doesn’t really judge you, they’re just happy to be here. For her, having writing sessions while vibing with aquatic animals has a similar effect. They don’t judge, they don’t really care, they just continue to swim around doing their own thing. Even if they look strange or off-putting to us humans, they have evolved to best suit their needs and perfectly own up to it. Zoey really, really likes how lots of oceanic occupants reflect all of the colors stuck inside her head with their own sometimes bizarre patterns and are absolutely thriving with it. To have her own personal aquarium is sending her to the moon and back with sooooo much soul-nourishing fulfillment fer various reasons

• When it comes to what types of pets they’d own, to me Zoey likes more ‘oddball’ esque animals, Mira likes more cool and dangerous critters, while Rumi has an affinity for more pretty, cutesy looking ones

• In my heart Zoey has selfies of her and her beloved giant red pacific octopus affectionately wrapped around her arm because that's a Californian native octopus babbyy!! Her name is Baby Red and she's the smartest girl around, Zoey could watch her solve enrichment treat puzzles allll dayyyy

• She is also very attached to the several parrot fish she has in one of the coral reef tanks because they come in very vibrant colors and have these funky ass beaks and they POOP SAND LIKE??? Such a chaotic mishmash of random traits and Zoey is soooo about it

• Mira is deeply bonded with the colorful mantis shrimp she IMMEDIATELY sniped once Zoey infodumped to her about how this lil guy can punch fast enough to boil water and strong enough that it’s the same power as a .22 caliber gun AND THEY CAN SEE SECRET COLORS??? Oohhh Mira was already hooked but the moment her gay ass learned that mantis shrimp are naturally rainbow colored she was already looking up the soonest and easiest way she could obtain one. His name is probably some long punkass one like ‘Pistolwhip Skullcrusher Extinction Event 3000’ or some shit and he’s her son that she loves so, so much

• Oh speaking of Mira, I’m also a huge fan of her having a hugeee soft spot for manta as well as sting rays. These potentially dangerous creatures that are simultaneously so graceful and elegant in their angel flight-like swimming style? But could still rock your ass if you get to close (Rip Steve Irwin gone but never forgotten)? You best believe she got several for the Ocean Autism Floor!!!

• Aw geez I can’t stop thinking about the first time Mira saw a touch tank at a public aquarium with mantas in them and longingly stared so hard that Zoey took pity on her and, firmly grabbing her girl by the hand, dragged her over to a secluded corner of faux rocks. Initially, Mira didn’t want to go to the touch tank since Zoey was already planning to walk past to a different exhibit and this was supposed to be Zoey’s day after all. She didn’t want to pull Zoey off course, esp not for something as dumb and silly as some touch tank like really, it’s no big deal it’s whatever (being denied and shamed as a wild child black sheep by your entire family does that to ya I’m afraid), but hey! Luckily Zoey noticed what caught Mira’s attention and is here to physically drag Mira outta her comfort zone!

• After some encouragement from Zoey, Mira would read the signage explaining how to properly pet a manta not once not twice but thrice over to make sure she knows exactly which parts not to pet. Even so, she would still hesitate, afraid she’d mess up somehow and end up hurting the poor thing since they’re actually so delicate. Taking the lead once again, Zoey would ask, “Here, do you trust me?” and it’s like. Of course Mira does. How could she not?

• After getting confirmation, Zoey would gently grab one of Mira’s hands and guide it into the water towards a manta ray about to swim by. Mira stiffens fer just a second when she feels her fingertips brush along the smooth flesh, but Zoey’s sweet, “See, you got it!” helps soften her nerves enough to follow along with Zoey’s guiding hand and HOLY SHIT SHE’S ACTUALLY PETTING A MANTA RAY OOHHHH THIS IS SO, SOOO SICK

• As Mira is having the time of her life reaching out to pet another ray about to swim by- and make no mistake, she really, REALLY is enjoying herself right now, she truly gets Zoey’s ocean critter joy now, and Zoey herself is looking at Mira’s barely contained emotional expression with SO MUCH love shining in her big brown eyes- neither she nor Zoey separate their joined hands, both of them more than content with the way Zoey’s thumb rubs along the back of Mira’s hand.

•Zoey hopes it’s okay for her to be this clingy as she passionately starts infodumping about rays, and Mira hopes she doesn’t let go of her hand anytime soon as she intently listens <333 oh ‘loves to cling x loves to be clung to’ Zoemira they could never make me hate you <333

• Ohhh you know what? Eels. Mira would love eels, and so does Zoey! I think they freak Rumi out just a little but she’s supportive regardless (smth about their dead-eye stare gives her the creeps)

• But know what animal Rumi does really, really like? Seahorses! They’re so small and cute and she gets a little emotional over how they entwine their tails together to always stay connected. Huntrix definitely has several different species in various tanks and they’re peak girlypop

• Zoey once did a 24-hour streaming challenge during the hiatus to try and capture one of the male seahorse’s birth live on stream. She had a wholeass PC, desk, gaming chair, etc etc set up down near the tank with bean bags and everything for when Rumira would pop by as guest stars to Zoey’s stream. Surrounded by various snacks and energy drinks, Zoey would kill time during the stream with karaoke requests, gaming, QnAs, watch parties of nature docs, live reactions to stuff that’s been heavily requested, and what have you until the seahorse baby dad finally gave birth (it was a VERY momentous occasion full of confetti poppers and everything)

• Post stream I need to see Zoerumi bonding time where they’re tryna come up with goofy names fer all the seahorse babies despite 1) there’s a metric fuckton of them 2) there’s no way they’re gonna be able to tell which is which so giving them names is kind of pointless

• Do they care though? Of course not! Give me more goofy Zoerumi enabling each other’s silliness-filled shenanigans, Rumi’s got an arm around Zoey’s waist as Zoey cuddles into her side and points out another microscopic baby seahorse and giggles out a playful, “Ooohhh what about that one?” and Rumi’s got her brows fully scrunched as she replied with a deeply thoughtful voice, “Hm, looks like a Stewart to me”.

•Zoey can’t explain it- maybe it’s because Rumi looks so serious right now, maybe its the sheer concept of a tiny fucking seahorse baby named Stewart of all things- but she can’t help but burst into peals of laughter and press her face into Rumi’s neck with so much radiating joy, the curve of her smiling cheek highlighted by the bluish illumination of the seahorse tank as her fingers twist into the fabric of Mira’s jacket a certain clothing-stealing gf is currently wearing

• Later on, Zoey is yammering about the funky looking frogfish she’s SO SO SOOO excited to import while Rumi is nodding along as they sit together watching the beautiful, softly glowing jellyfish Rumi recently got. Both of them are holding hands as they watch carefree jellyfish float on by when Rumi steals a glance over to her girlfriend and is proceeded to be shot right in the chest with pure lovestruckness at the sheer wonder and passion in Zoey’s animated movements and voice and downright cuteful face. ‘Oh, how lucky I am to be able to love you like this,’ type beat, Rumi’s very grateful she has the privilege to witness and fall for Zoey’s most mundane moments (it’s not mundane to her, of course, because when you love someone even the most mundane moments become heartfelt treasures <333)

• Tbh jellyfish would be the animal where their preferences would intersect since they can be quite deadly while also simultaneously incredibly beautiful and even misunderstood at times! Polytrix definitelyyyy have some gorgeous tanks with Montery, fried egg, firework jellyfish, etc etc

• That being said, not to swerve into hurt/comfort territory, butttt :))) can you imagine Mira got a tank with some lionfish in it (because duh! They’re so deadly and so, so sick) but sometimes Rumi will go to the tank by herself to watch them swim around. She’ll sit there in a slight daze, admiring those iconic patterns lionfish are praised fer, patterns that many remark as beautiful, and maybe if Rumi tries hard enough and stares at the peacefully swimming fish long enough maybe she’ll start to see her own stripey patterns as pretty too (she doesn’t, but its worth an honest shot) :))

• I think Rumi would relate to lionfish a lot, actually. They’re an invasive species known to run rampant due to a lack of natural predators and will bring any environment they end up in to ruin due to unchecked overconsumption. To prevent this, people are often encourage to hunt and kill lionfish on sight. A deadly thing that deserves a merciless and swift death lest it hurt everyone else, they even have similar patterns. Rumi never thought she’d break down over random fish of all things, but here we are :)!

• I did say this is hurt/comfort, so imagine if you will Mira, who wanted to visit her lionfish, eventually finding Rumi standing in front of the tank, one shaky hand pressed to the glass while the other is trying to scrub away at stray tears. She immediately rushes over, careful not to crowd too much into Rumi’s space (Zoemira learned the hard way how… reactive Rumi gets when it comes to her feeling caged in). When she asks what’s wrong and how can she help, Rumi just gives non-committal grunts and headshakes as her answer. Mira can read people quite well, an expert at it really, and knows that when she’s like this, Rumi won’t be opening up anytime soon. Still, she tries to give support however she can, and when she lifts up her arms in a wordless offer, Rumi doesn’t hesitate to rush into her embrace and hide away her tear-streaked face into Mira’s shoulder.

• The moment Rumi is bundled up and secured in her arms, the dancer tightly hugs her like she could smush the broken pieces of her leader’s heart back together through sheer force of will. They stay like this for a while, swaying a little in place with the unjudging lionfish as their only witness to the muffled sobs Rumi lets out, and that’s okay <333

•The fact that lionfish are encouraged to be killed on sight due to being deadly, environment ruining animals and Mira chooses to house some in the aquarium anyways because SHE likes them, dangers and invasiveness and all. She’s well aware of what they are, and she still actively chooses to love them on purpose.

• Anywaysss :D I fully believe the Ocean Autism Floor gets to the point where they’re adopting fairly small species of sharks. Some cuties such as dogfish and black tipped reef sharks, possibly leopard sharks if we’re just gonna full send it and say they have the space for it. Maybe Zoey just really wants a cool shark tank and is like, “Hold on we can afford it lemme just-“ and whips out a chart topping single that can, heh, singlehandedly fund the new shark tank. I believe in her!

• You know what? Let’s just full send it. Zoey is working her ass off writing up new bangers for Huntrix and recycling unused song concepts for ghostwriting (you can not tell me Zoey wouldn’t be a downright phenomenal ghostwriter esp for raps that don’t fit Huntrix’s brand/style but would perform fantastically in the States under a different artist) because she has the greatest motivation of them all: justifiably affording a personal turtle sanctuary

• This turtle sanctuary is Zoey’s personal heaven. I truly do not think I need to elaborate how much she cherishes it. Girly even made side accounts dedicated to the sanctuary’s occupants and their little personality quirks and just being silly lil goofs she loves more than life

• To support a fundraiser for raising awareness about ocean pollution and subsequent cleanup efforts, HUNTR/X created a charity raffle people can donate to (the more they donate, the more tickets they get in their name!) with all proceeds going to the fundraiser. The winning prize included a private fan signing + personal tour of the HUNTR/X aquarium the girlies would sometimes post about in Instagram stories, mention in livestreams, etc etc. It’s safe to say when it came to donations, their fans blew it outta the water hehe

• Listen man you gotta trust me when I say the acoustics in some parts of Ocean Autism Floor go absolutely hard, just smth about belting your heart out with silly sea critters as your live audience just gives you an automatic +17 in performance and you best BELIEVE polytrix like to give their pets a fun little show sometimes as a way to unwind after a long day

• Not completely aquarium related but I do love the idea of Derpy, a wholeass demon tiger, being the easiest of Polytrix’s pets to take care of because when compared to their entire PERSONAL AQUARIUM, he doesn’t even need much??? He’s really easy to provide enrichment for and doesn’t even eat anything, taking care of Derpy is a breeze in comparison to the intense care that goes into a lottt of the ocean-native pets they own

• One final headcanon (for now!) and it’s very fitting to put at the very bottom. Despite their ABSURD amount of money, Polytrix don’t own any animals from the deep sea because those guys are realllyyy hard to take care of properly with all the specific conditions you gotta meet (correct pressure, temperature, lack of light, etc etc). That being said, if they could Zoemira ABSOLUTELY would have tanks dedicated to anglerfish and other scary as fuck looking abyssal dwellers and honestly Rumi is really, really glad it never worked out
