Interview with David Gaider at Thedas UK Con in 2012
Thedas UK: Can I ask, what effect if any Anders being merged with Justice is going to have on his Calling? David Gaider: Uh…interesting. I'm getting some…okay, it's gone now, I was hearing a mental voice there, it was weird. [laughter] There were some plans to address that but in the end it became very complicated. I think there are a couple possibilities. One is that the spirit within Anders can affect the level of his corruption, so it may delay or remove the necessity for his Calling altogether. Either that or at some point the corruption within Anders is going to corrupt the spirit. I think those are the two most likely outcomes. I'm not going to say which of those we prefer, because Anders can survive DA2 so therefore there's a possibility that we may need him in the future.

Dorian Pavus is the most realistic character in the series and I can prove it.
1 - He wants to be himself. And he won’t accept pretending just to please people.
2 - He complains ALL. THE. TIME. Just like anyone would living in a cold, dirty and much more rustic place than his home.
3 - He doesn’t fall in love right away. He wants to get to know the person first, regardless if it’s the Inquisitor or The Iron Bull, and become friends. He’s not aiming for love, just wishes (even though he will never admit it) someone he can trust.
4 - He sees the flaws. The problems. In everyone. But he learns to love them anyway.
5 - He doesn’t change who he is because of the person he loves. He will still be a sassy, proud and passionate man no matter who he ends up with.

You know, I noticed something...
Solid Lily always, and I mean ALWAYS, personally targets:
.Rebecca Sugar - A non-binary, bisexual Jewish woman.
.ND Stevenson - A non-binary, queer, trans man.
.Dana Terrace - A bisexual woman.
.David Gaider - A gay man.
And her favourite media punching bags are Steven Universe, She-Ra, Star Vs. The Forces Of Evil, The Owl House, Dragon Age, Baldur's Gate III (and now, Arcane); works that champion diversity and inclusion, that always put marginalized people (LGBTQ+ people, people of color, ect) at the forefront of their stories. Yet, for a self-proclaimed, progressive leftist who claims to care about representation and stand against bigotry, I NEVER see Lily go after regressive reactionaries like Trey P*rker, M*tt Stone, Fr*nk Miller, J*hn Byrne, Thom*s Mahler, Americ*n McGee, John Carm*ck, Ethan V*n Sciver, the dev team behind H*tred, the dev team behind Post*l and so forth.*
*(Just for the record, I'm not telling anyone to "cancel" these creators. You can still enjoy their work. Plus, "cancel culture" isn't real BTW)
I have a feeling that Lily is either a barely closeted, far-right bigot pretending to be a woke progressive because she sees it as "fashionable" or is suffering from severe internalized misogyny and queerphobia.
Or both.

Yeah, it's the romance stuff. I'm already disinclined to give him the benefit of the doubt given his track record, but this absolutely reads as him being a bitter bitch






"Sex dolls"???

David Gaider, about Flemeth, Mythal (and most of all, about Kate Mulgrew) @ Bluesky
I miss her Baba Yaga voice. And about the scene with Morrigan on being a mother... That was really something.

Here is your daily reminder that Solid Lily has boasted about being a "better writer"/"better creator" then...
.Rebecca Sugar
.ND Stevenson
.Dana Terrace
.Rian Johnson
.Darron Nefcy
.Christie Golden
.Bryke
.David Gaider
.Dave Filoni
.Everyone at Larian Studios
.And many other industry veterans
She even lied about being a "highly sought-after writer" to just personally spite all of them. Yet here she is: Locked up in a run-down apartment block, only ever writing awful, incest coffeshop fanfiction.
Yes, you CAN laugh.

It irks me when people say "but look at Dorian" as a defence for how "good" Gaider was at writing Dragon Age.
Yeah, look at Dorian. The guy who has a whole conversation about how slavery is actually morally grey and the Inquisitor doesn't know what they're talking about to challenge it. The guy who jokes about and belittles Briala's rebellion as ludicrous and wrong. The guy who we don't actually see change these views until other writers take over.
TL;DR: One great scene about homophobia does not make up for all the racism in his writing lmao
#david gaider#for the record this is not an attack on dorian the character#can't believe i need to clarify that but this is tumblr so of course i do

it’s might be silly, even stupid and anything else you will call it, but this fact? i feel like i won something today. as a gay man who needs to headcanon straight men to feel safe and represented.
loghain was my favorite character in media for years. as polish person who is patriot and passioned in politics and history, i gets him even more. as a trans son without father approval, seeing his relationship with anora… i am crying and throwing. he is everything for me as fictional character.
he is old veteran giving me comfort. and now, it’s not just headcanon when he is canonically queer.
i know David Gaider won’t see this, but, his books means a world to me, the same as whole dragon age franchise.
never kill yourself. take care and love yourself.

This from David Gaider’s bluesky thread on Zevran made me laugh. As things change so things stay the same…
(The whole thread is interesting as a time capsule study too though. I think people sometimes forget just how much has changed in the past 15 years especially in what it means to be an out queer person.)
